Refresh the Upper Limit Again, the First Signs of Wartime Capability

"This is already the thirteenth Lightning Style: Earth Running!"

"Some of the ninjas using Earth Running are already running low on Chakra."

In the training grounds behind the Konoha camp, the watching ninjas had already gone numb. They watched Yueguang Han continuously endure the Lightning Style: Earth Running of fifty Lightning Style ninjas, again and again, yet Yueguang Han still showed no new movement. He simply continued enduring the Lightning Style from the fifty ninjas. The spectators had gone from their initial shock to confusion, then numbness.

"Lord Han, what exactly are you preparing? Why do you need to store so much energy from Lightning Style ninjutsu?" On the trunk of a large tree, Orochimaru remained just as interested as ever.

"Take a break for a while! Hurry up and refine your Chakra." When the Lightning Style stopped again, Yueguang Han finally did not shout for them to continue. Instead, he told everyone to rest and refine their Chakra.

"My Chakra is almost completely gone." Hearing this, the ninjas who had released the Lightning Style immediately let out long sighs of relief. Many hurriedly sat on the ground to rest and refine their Chakra. Although the thirteen uses of Lightning Style had only taken a few minutes in total, the massive expenditure of Chakra still left them somewhat tired. (This was true. When Naruto trained in Wind Style: Rasenshuriken, he became so exhausted that he could not even stand, though his training sessions were also very long.)

"My lord, have some water first." Kimura Takuya came running over to Yueguang Han, took out a water flask, opened it, and respectfully held it out to him.

"You should hurry up and rest too!" Yueguang Han took the flask, drank a few mouthfuls, and said,

"My lord, I'm a Jonin, so I have much more Chakra than the others. I haven't expended nearly as much as they have. If you have any orders, just tell me what needs to be done." Kimura Takuya hurriedly replied.

"Very well. I won't stand on ceremony with you, then." Yueguang Han said, "Go back to the camp and find someone to prepare everyone's lunch and water. Prepare plenty of meat and send it here. There's nothing else for now."

"Yes!" Hearing this, Kimura Takuya immediately acknowledged the order and disappeared with a Body Flicker Technique.

"What's your name?" After Kimura Takuya left, Yueguang Han walked over and sat beside a pink-haired young ninja who was resting on the ground. He greeted him and asked, "The reason I chose you is that your hair color is very distinctive. Not to mention this camp, there are only a few people in all of Konoha with hair that color. Seeing you even made me think of someone—someone who hasn't been born yet."

"My lord, my name is Haru, Haru, Haruharu Kasugano." When Yueguang Han questioned him, the ninja immediately stood up straight and answered loudly, though he stammered a little.

"Hahahaha!"

"Lord Hino, don't be so nervous!" Hearing Kasugano Haruharu stammer, the surrounding ninjas all burst out laughing. After all, there were not many chances to laugh on the battlefield. Most of the time, they were shrouded in gloom.

Kasugano Haruharu...! Hearing this, Yueguang Han thought for a moment before saying, "There's no need to be so restrained. Sit down and chat with me."

"Yes." Hearing this, Kasugano Haruharu immediately sat down, though he kept his posture perfectly straight. Clearly, he was still very restrained. This was also a problem common among many civilian ninjas who lacked strength and talent.

Although Yueguang Han was only twelve years old and was still a Genin, he had achieved outstanding military exploits. It was only a matter of time before he became one of Konoha's upper-level ninjas. Even now, his strength was plainly visible. There were probably only a few people in the entire camp who could surpass Yueguang Han.

"Don't be so restrained." Yueguang Han said. "Tell me about the first year of the war. I only applied to go to the battlefield in the second year, so I don't know much about what happened before that. You can tell me your story too!"

"Yes, my lord." Hearing this, Kasugano Haruharu immediately sat up straight before saying, "My lord, I was sent to the battlefield in the latter half of last year. At that time, the Sand Shinobi had already occupied Mount Kikyo..."

When they heard Kasugano Haruharu begin recounting the events of the first year of the war and his own experiences after joining it, quite a few of the surrounding ninjas who had been resting gathered around. As they listened to him discuss the battles and the situation at the time, they would occasionally add a few words or correct him.

At noon, the sunlight shone straight down from overhead. Kimura Takuya arrived at the training grounds on schedule with more than a dozen ninjas carrying basin after basin of sumptuous food.

People who fawned on others could always find opportunities to put on a good performance. During the meal, Kimura Takuya arranged the fifty men in perfect order. He then stayed by Yueguang Han's side, attending to every matter, large or small. Whenever Yueguang Han asked him about something, he answered without holding anything back. He even quietly told Yueguang Han some secrets known only to a few people.

"Everyone, continue!" After eating and drinking their fill and resting for a while, Yueguang Han spoke a single sentence, and everyone was once again filled with energy. Intense lightning flashed repeatedly through the forest.

Ding! The energy storage points have reached the upper limit of 50,000 points. The storage limit can be upgraded. Upgrade? After another fifteen or sixteen group uses of Lightning Style (2,000 points each), everyone's Chakra had been nearly depleted. At last, the long-awaited voice rang in Yueguang Han's ears. This time, the electronic female voice sounded even more realistic.

Yes! Without the slightest hesitation, Yueguang Han immediately chose to upgrade again.

Upgrade in progress: one percent, ten percent, fifty percent, one hundred percent! Upgrade complete! The upgrade was still extremely fast—so fast that Yueguang Han could not react in time.

He closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into his sea of consciousness.

Yueguang Han first checked the Weapon Template. Among the installed weapon and Tech Templates, three new technologies had appeared. The first was the larger-caliber, longer-range cannon Yueguang Han had been looking forward to: the 150mm K16 Howitzer Cannon. It was 6.41 meters long, its shells weighed 51.4 kilograms, its maximum firing rate was two rounds per minute, its muzzle velocity was 757 meters per second, and its maximum range was 22,000 meters.

The second was the Type 97 90mm light mortar. Caliber: 90.5 millimeters; caliber: 90.5mm; barrel length: 1,217mm (L13.4); gun weight: 172.5kg; compatible ammunition: high-explosive shells, incendiary shells, Smoke Bombs, chemical shells, and illumination shells; gun elevation: +45 to +85 degrees; projectile weight: 5.26kg; muzzle velocity: 227m/sec; maximum range: 3,800m.

The third was the Tập-5 Anti-Tank Rocket Launcher. (Although its function was the same, this was not an RPG.)

"This is exactly like getting a pillow when you're sleepy!" Looking at the three newly added technologies, Yueguang Han was extremely excited. They had not only increased his attack range but also made up for some of his shortcomings. Perhaps one day in the future, killing someone eight hundred li away would not be impossible. The next addition, however, excited Yueguang Han even more.

Another attribute had appeared in the carrier column of the first section.

Carrier: Yueguang Han, Wang Han (the protagonist's name before transmigrating). The carrier is unique and cannot be changed. No one other than the carrier can install Templates. A new passage had appeared at the end: Some Templates can be used outside the carrier, and multiple instances of a Template can be used.

This meant that his Weapon Templates could form machine-gun groups and artillery groups. To the Sand Shinobi, this would be nothing short of a disaster. To him, however, it was the greatest blessing he could receive at present, even surpassing the three technologies that had appeared earlier. It also meant that he had begun to possess part of the ability to wage war independently.

The types of energy absorbed had not changed. They were still converted from thermal energy, electrical energy, and kinetic energy.
