Acceleration Ahead! (Fourth and Fifth Update)

Tsunade looked at Qingyu's serious face and sighed inwardly.

That kid has a lot of ideas.

"It's theoretically feasible, but very difficult to implement in practice."

Tsunade leaned back in her chair, her crossed legs revealing a section of her smooth calf beneath her nightgown.

"You must convert Chakra into electrons while simultaneously guiding these electrons along specific meridian pathways, ensuring that the normal flow of Chakra is not affected, and even more importantly, that the brain's normal control over the body is not interfered with."

"When using 'Body Pathway Derangement' against enemies, you just need to flood them with electric fields, the more chaotic the better."

"But when used against oneself, the precision requirement is much higher than when used directly against the enemy."

She paused, then added, "However, with your Chakra control abilities, it's not impossible; it just requires a lot of practice time."

"I see."

Qingyu nodded, memorizing all the key points Tsunade had mentioned.

He immediately thought of Yakushi Kabuto's "Yin Healing Wound Destruction".

By knowing the enemy's attack points in advance and healing them before the enemy attacks, the caster can minimize the damage received.

If we could control "Body Pathway Derangement" to defend certain parts in advance and maneuver Cha Jingla, perhaps we could achieve the same effect?

Seeing that he really wanted to learn, Tsunade didn't say anything more and directly explained the training method of "Body Pathway Derangement" from beginning to end.

"Alright, kid, that's all."

After saying her last sentence, Tsunade picked up her chopsticks and continued eating.

Halfway through her meal, she suddenly frowned and raised her hand to press the back of her neck.

Having spent countless hours stationed at the camp treating the wounded, constantly looking down at injury reports and surgical records, her neck and back had been aching for several days.

Qingyu noticed her movement, put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and walked behind Tsunade.

"Sister Tsunade, let me massage you."

Tsunade paused for a moment, then smiled, tossing her blonde hair that was draped over her shoulder forward to reveal her fair nape and shoulders.

"Okay, come on."

Qingyu placed his fingers on the acupoints on Tsunade's shoulders and neck, touching Tsunade smooth and delicate skin.

Tsunade's skin is extremely well-maintained; the "Yin Seal | Anti-aging" effect keeps her skin elastic and firm at all times.

No matter how Qingyu touched it, it felt smooth and tender.

He applied slight pressure, following the sequence of acupoints used in Medical Ninjutsu to promote blood circulation and relax muscles, and slowly pressed along the cervical spine.

"Um----"

Tsunade let out a soft, comfortable groan, her shoulders unconsciously relaxing.

She closed her eyes, leaned back slightly against the chair, making it easier for Qingyu's fingers to reach her neck and shoulders.

As she moved, the strap of her nightgown slipped slightly off one shoulder, revealing a large expanse of fair skin below her collarbone.

"With your massage skills, you should quit being a ninja and open a massage parlor. You'd probably be overwhelmed with customers from all those ladies."

Tsunade made a casual joke with her eyes closed, but halfway through her sentence, a strange sense of displeasure welled up inside her.

She thought about it and figured that the kid was good enough to give her a massage.

"Sister Tsunade, is your strength alright?"

Qingyu's voice came from behind.

"Okay, move a little lower, and massage around the shoulder blades as well."

Tsunade raised her finger and pointed to her back.

Qingyu did as instructed.

Ten minutes later, Qingyu came out of Tsunade's Camp Tent.

Qingyu was still recalling Tsunade's explanation of the "Body Pathway Derangement".

The difficulty of this technique lies in how to precisely control the path of Chakra after it has been converted into electrons, but once this is mastered, it can indeed be applied to the improvement of "Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth".

As they approached the entrance to their Camp Tent, a burly figure in a green vest blocked their path.

He was a ninja from the Akimichi Clan, a whole size larger than the average ninja, with broad shoulders, thick arms, and his Ninja Tool Pouch bulging from his waist.

He had a simple, honest smile on his face, holding a bag of potato chips in his hand, and was putting them into his mouth one by one.

"Qingyu."

Akimichi ninja grinned at Qingyu.

Qingyu smiled and nodded to the Akimichi ninja.

He was very popular in the camp because he treated many patients.

After all, who can guarantee they won't get hurt a second time?

[Collectible trait detected: Rapid Digestion]

[D-Rank Trait: Rapid Digestion]

[Effect: Increases digestion speed by 30%.]

[Synthesis: Winning the Konoha Glutton Contest will upgrade this trait to a higher level.]

Qingyu glanced at the pop-up text and casually closed it.

He had long heard of the Konoha Glutton Contest, a traditional event organized by the Akimichi Clan.

Winning Glutton contest might be difficult for others, but it's not a problem for him.

After all, he has the two characteristics of being a "Glutton" and having a "Small Stomach," so he can digest any amount of food he eats.

You only need to participate once after you return to the village.

Two weeks later, Qingyu, who had just completed a mission with Minato Namikaze and the others, rested for a day.

The next day, he heard ninjas calling his name.

"Qingyu, Lady Tsunade requests your presence at the Main Tent for a meeting. Lord Jiraiya there."

"Knew."

Qingyu put the scroll away, stood up, and walked out of the Camp Tent.

I've had quite a few tasks lately.

Qingyu could also sense that the intensity of the war was rising.

The Main Tent was already quite full of people.

Jiraiya sat in the main seat, with a front-line map spread out in front of him. Several red areas were marked on it, which were the areas where the Kirigakure Ninja had been frequently active recently.

Minato Namikaze sat to Jiraiya's left.

His Flying Thunder God Kunai was placed on the table in front of him, ready to be used Body Flicker Technique in case of any unexpected situation.

Tsunade beckoned to Qingyu.

"Qingyu is here, please have a seat."

Tsunade said.

Jiraiya nodded slightly to Qingyu.

As they spent more time together, he grew increasingly satisfied with Qingyu.

Qingyu nodded and sat down in the empty seat next to Tsunade.

There were also several Jonin nearby, some from the Hyuga Clan, some from the Aburame Clan, and a few that Qingyu hadn't really interacted with before.

When the Jonin saw Qingyu walk in, they all nodded slightly in greeting.

They knew very well who Qingyu was.

His Lady Tsunade, inherited Tsunade's Medical Ninjutsu, and his combat prowess is undeniable; even the genius Kakashi was defeated by him.

Anyone seriously injured in the camp can usually be saved if Qingyu intervenes.

A ninja who can both fight and heal is a treasure on the battlefield.

"Gentlemen, I've called you all here today to discuss the recent battle situation."

Jiraiya placed his hands on the table, his large fingers pointing to several locations marked with red circles on the map.

"The activity frequency of Kirigakure has increased significantly in the past week."

"Jūzō Biwa and Suikazan Fuguki, Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, have been confirmed to be on the front lines. Their assault team attacked supply depots number three and five, causing considerable casualties."

"Red Eye ninjas are also roaming around, cooperating with the Kirigakure Village's assassination squad to infiltrate the defenses. However, the Intelligence Division has confirmed the Red Eye ninja's weakness: although it can interfere with the Byakugan's senses, it cannot block the Inuzuka Clan's sense of smell or the Aburame Clan's insect senses."

"Of course, this is on the premise that one cannot be affected by the 'Hidden Mist Technique'."

Jiraiya paused, then turned his gaze to Minato Namikaze.

"Minato, take a team to reinforce the attacked Number Two Outpost. According to the intelligence we've gathered, it might be under attack there."

"Yes, Jiraiya- sensei."

Minato Namikaze stood up and took the mission scroll handed to Jiraiya by Jiraiya.

"Qingyu."

Jiraiya then looked at Qingyu.

"You should go too. Your sensory abilities and Medical Ninjutsu will come in handy there. If there are still wounded at Number Two Outpost, they need to be treated on the spot."

"Good."

Qingyu nodded in agreement.

Two days later, the fog along the coastline was even thicker than in the previous days, with a thick layer of white fog covering the distant sea, and the churning fog almost overflowing the land.

The escort team, consisting of Minato Namikaze's squad and Kiyoha's squad, along with a group of medical ninjas, has approached the area where the second base is located.

Minato Namikaze walked at the front of the group, his Flying Thunder God Kunai always in his hand, his golden hair swaying slightly in the sea breeze.

"We're about to enter the Kirigakure Ninja's territory."

Minato Namikaze glanced back at the group behind him.

"The Kirigakure ninja are adept at using Water Release and underwater ambush to launch surprise attacks, especially in dense fog like this—"

"The Hidden Mist Technique's will reduce visibility to a minimum, so everyone must be vigilant and not let their guard down."

"Understood, Minato-sensei!"

Obito was the first to respond loudly, patting his chest.

One-Tomoe Sharingan emerged from the jet-black pupil.

Obito felt that he was stronger than before.

"Hehe, they're just Kirigakure Ninja. My Sharingan is already awakened. Even if they're hiding in the mist, I can still see them. Maybe this time I can defeat a few Kirigakure Jonin and impress Qingyu and Kakashi."

Obito grinned, glancing at Rin Nohara as if hoping for an encouraging look from her.

Seeing Minato Namikaze 'Obito smug expression, Minato Namikaze didn't laugh; instead, he frowned.

"Obito, the Sharingan can indeed enhance your perception, but it cannot see through the 'Hidden Mist Technique'."

"It uses Chakra to create a real fog, and this fog itself is a physical entity; Sharingan sees is just fog."

His tone became more serious.

"If you rush into the fog rashly, you might fall into an ambush before you even see the enemy."

Obito was stunned for a moment, and the smile on his face froze.

He instinctively wanted to refute, but found himself unable to utter a single word.

The Sharingan can't see through the "Hidden Mist Technique"?

He glanced at Kakashi beside him, and Kakashi eyes met.

"Obito, Minato-sensei is right. The Hidden Mist Technique creates a physical mist, not Chakra illusion. The Sharingan looks no different from ordinary eyes within the mist."

Kakashi crossed his arms and spoke calmly.

Don't hold us back.

"Who do you think will hold us back!"

Obito's face turned bright red.

That jerk Xi always manages to sabotage him!

I'm just stating the facts.

Kakashi didn't even glance at him.

"You bastard----"

"Alright, alright, stop arguing."

Rin Nohara quickly stepped forward and stood between Kakashi and Obito, trying to smooth things over.

"Kakashi was worried that Obito might act impulsively. Obito is also working hard to become stronger. We're all teammates, and we should look out for each other on the battlefield."

"Snort."

Kakashi turned his head to one side.

Obito pouted. Although he was still a little annoyed, since Rin Nohara had spoken, he couldn't say anything more. He just glared at Kakashi.

Minato Namikaze covered his forehead and sighed silently.

How come these two kids still have such a bad relationship after graduating from the Ninja Academy?

"Alright, let's assign tasks."

Minato Namikaze suppressed his helplessness and regained his captain's serious demeanor.

He looked at Qingyu, his eyes filled with obvious trust.

"Qingyu, your sensory abilities are very strong. Jiraiya- sensei told me that you not only learned the 'Barrier: Heavenly Canopy Formation,' but you also mastered a special ability that allows you to sense Red Eye ninjas."

"So this time, the main force for perception will depend on you, with Ginka assisting you to supplement your perception."

After finishing Minato Namikaze, Minato Namikaze glanced at Hyuga Ginka as well.

Hyuga Ginka followed in the middle of the group, her white pupils remaining open as always.

Hearing Minato Namikaze's words, she lowered her eyes slightly.

Red Eye's restraint caused her to lose her most important advantage in this mission, but Qingyu's presence made up for this shortcoming.

With Qingyu around, we won't be ambushed like last time.

After all, nobody knows if a Red Eye ninja will appear here; it's not worth the gamble.

"Good."

Qingyu nodded, formed Hand Seals, and activated a "Barrier - Heavenly Canopy Formation".

An invisible Sensory Barrier spread outwards.

At the same time, all the Chakra fluctuations within the barrier clearly appeared in his mind.

On another level, the trait of "Malice Perception" is also at work.

All malice within the barrier's range will be transmitted into his consciousness immediately.

This ability is quite useful at the moment.

"There may be attacks along the way. Everyone, follow Minato-sensei's instructions."

Qingyu put away the Hand Seal and addressed the crowd.

The team continued along the mountain path towards Number Two Outpost.

After walking for about half an hour, Qingyu suddenly stopped.

He sensed a dense wave of malevolent energy ahead, indicating that at least a dozen Kirigakure Ninja were rapidly approaching.

"There are enemies."

As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, Minato Namikaze's figure had already disappeared.

At the same time, he produced more than a dozen specially made trident Kunai in his hand. With a flick of his wrist, the Flying Thunder God Kunai scattered forward.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

Yellow Flash erupted on the battlefield.

Minato Namikaze's figure teleported back and forth between Kunai, each teleportation appearing behind a Kirigakure Ninja, his Kunai across the opponent's neck.

A thud was heard from within the fog, like the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

Standing at the front of the group, Qingyu watched Minato Namikaze darting back and forth across the battlefield, secretly admiring him. This was the power of the "Yellow Flash."

"Kakashi, left side; Obito, right side; Ginka, Genma Shiranui; Guard medical-nin."

Qingyu quickly issued the command while simultaneously Hand Seals.

Yin Release Chakra circulated within him, establishing a connection with the Flying Thunder God Kunai in the distance.

Yin Release Chakra Projection!

"Next, we need to speed things up!"

Qingyu said.

The next moment, a large number of gray Explosive Tag appeared.

Minato Namikaze finished off a Kirigakure Ninja from behind.

He turned his head and saw the Projection Explosive Tag appearing around the Kunai he had thrown; his blue pupils widened slightly.

Can Yin Release be used like this?

Is this Ninjutsu created by Qingyu himself?

Can Explosive Tag also be projected using Yin Release techniques?

The thought flashed through Minato Namikaze's mind.

The Projection Explosive Tag transformed into dozens of streaks of light in the air, scattering and flying towards the surrounding Kirigakure Ninja according to Qingyu's will.

Rumble!

The explosion's Kakkō burst forth in the fog.

Dirt and gravel flew everywhere, and the screams of the Kirigakure Ninja echoed. Several Hidden Kirigakure Ninja were hiding in the mist and preparing to launch a sneak attack were blasted backward and died before they even hit the ground.

Genma Senbon dangling from his Genma Shiranui, watched the Hidden Kirigakure Ninja being Explosive Tag, and a twitch appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"They actually used Yin Release Projection Explosive Tag ----?"

Genma Shiranui couldn't help but be amazed by Qingyu's mastery of Yin Release.
