Master-Level Pressure Point Strike!

Back home, Kyohiko finally had time to integrate and study the newly acquired memories.

The improvement of two techniques.

Whether it's Pressure Point Strike or Yin Healing Wound Destruction, the level was already quite high.

Especially the former.

He was already at the master level, and if he were to advance another level, he would reach the grandmaster level.

Numerous techniques and memory methods related to Pressure Point Strike came to mind.

Perfect Pressure Point Strike.

The biggest difference compared to masters is --

Enhanced perception!

At close range, one can sense the flow of Chakra within the other person.

Furthermore, in the areas of attacking and sealing using Pressure Point Strike, it is even more perfect and skillful, and the Pressure Point Strike are even more perfect, with different applications in Pressure Point Strike.

For example, different Chakra techniques can be used to attack muscles and internal organs.

This is approaching the realm of Gentle Fist.

These are all secondary issues.

"Sensing the flow of Chakra."

Kyohiko doesn't have the Byakugan; if we only compare Pressure Point Strike, he's definitely inferior to the Hyuga Clan.

But if it can be combined with perception...

After a moment's thought, he Hand Seals to create Shadow Clone. Then, he used Ninjutsu and Chakra to allow the Shadow Clone to sense the flow and changes of his Chakra.

A few seconds later, the Shadow Clone returned.

A hint of joy appeared on Kyohiko's face.

Really!

When using Ninjutsu or drawing upon Chakra, he can sense the direction and trajectory of the Chakra.

certainly.

You need to be close enough to perceive it more clearly.

etc?

Kyohiko suddenly thought of--

This ability is essentially an extension of the body perception in Medical Ninjutsu, only more powerful and refined.

But.

What if we combine it with other methods?

Try again.

Kyohiko created Shadow Clone and tried again.

The difference is--

This time, he used Chakra Threads to wrap around his main body.

Accompanied by the operation of Ninjutsu.

The Shadow Clone's eyes lit up--

It's clearer now!

Kyohiko pondered its use.

This thing is definitely more than just a "Pressure Point Strike aid"; it has many more applications.

It's certainly not as good as the Byakugan, but it can make perception clearer and more obvious. In fact, if you know enough, you can even determine the type of Ninjutsu the moment the opponent mobilizes their Chakra.

More advanced insight methods!

As for the master-level Yin Healing Wound Destruction, it seems less important compared to the grandmaster's Pressure Point Strike.

It's simply that he has a better understanding of internal organs, muscles, and Medical Ninjutsu, and a deeper understanding of medicine. Now, when he uses Yin Healing Wound Destruction, he can almost immediately burst out and recover while being attacked.

If one's reaction and understanding are sufficient, it's not much different from the Seal-less Healing.

only.

This thing isn't as effective against attacks outside of our understanding.

After thinking for a moment, Kyohiko jumped out of the window.

Outside the window in the courtyard, Asuma Sarutobi was being brutally tortured by a sandbag, but he gritted his teeth and didn't cry out in pain, persisting in his high-intensity training every day.

Kyohiko observed for a while.

Then, with a flick of his finger, Chakra Threads flew out and quickly landed on Asuma.

"What you do?"

Asuma suddenly stopped, but quickly realized he was still under the sandbags, and was immediately given a good beating, almost collapsing to the ground.

He stood up and glared at them.

Is this also part of the training?

"No, I just need your help testing something."

Kyohiko pondered for a moment, then said, "You can sense Chakra Threads to this extent?"

"Of course! I'm not stupid!"

Asuma roared.

Kyohiko nodded.

He then reduced his Chakra output and made each Chakra Threads thinner.

How about this?

"It's still okay."

Asuma answered.

Kyohiko frowned slightly, then nodded. "That's alright then, you can go ahead with your work."

Even Asuma could sense it, which shows that this method is not secretive enough. It could easily be cut off by the opponent in battle, and it would require the user to be distracted to control it, making it unsuitable as a regular method.

"That's right!"

"I have Wood Release that no one else can use!"

Kyohiko's eyes lit up.

Wood Release has many forms, and ordinary trees are just one of them. Flowers and grass are also a type of Wood Release, and in most scenarios, grass is inconspicuous.

He Hand Seals with one hand.

In an instant, blades of grass quietly appeared on the ground.

The Chakra spread, taking the form of plants, and transformed into Kyohiko's "third eye."

Wood Release: Wood-Grass Barrier!

In an instant, he could clearly sense Asuma's Chakra circulation through the grass around Asuma.

Step back a few times.

Even when they were more than ten steps away, Kyohiko could still sense Asuma's Chakra state, but when they were more than twenty steps away, he could no longer sense Asuma's condition through the Wood-Grass Barrier.

"Twenty steps."

What if we expand the area covered by the grass?

Kyohiko continued the procedure.

The yard was covered in grass, and soon, our senses reconnected.

Success!

Asuma was just slow-witted and prone to overthinking when he was a child, but he wasn't actually stupid. He quickly noticed the grass spreading out beneath his feet.

He jumped off the sandbag rack.

"What are you doing?"

"A test."

Kyohiko answered.

Asuma stared blankly at the lawn beneath his feet, then scoffed, "You're testing how to use Wood Release for landscaping? Ha, it might actually be a good business once there's no more war."

"There are already people doing landscaping, so I won't compete with them. I can go into real estate later; that stuff makes more money than landscaping."

Kyohiko smiled, then said, "But right now, its main function isn't landscaping."

What is that?

Asuma stomped his foot on the grass. "Perception?"

"Yes, its function..."

Kyohiko's eyes narrowed, and then his figure vanished instantly.

Asuma was startled.

He had barely sensed a breeze coming from behind him when his body began to move, his mind still not fully clear.

but.

Through training, he only developed some of the physical reflexes; he didn't fully unlock them like Kyohiko.

No matter how fast you react, you can't outrun yourself.

The next moment.

Bang! Bang!

Asuma felt fingers pointing at him, like a sudden storm, the rain-like attacks initially lacking power.

but.

When Kyohiko stopped, he felt that his Chakra was somewhat out of control, and his limbs seemed to be numb.

"How so?"

"This is..."

"Pressure Point Strike?"

Asuma's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

Kyohiko asked, "How are you feeling?"

"What? Of course it's very strong!"

Asuma was thrilled, "Before, only the Hyuga Clan possessed such powerful Pressure Point Strike techniques!"

"Actually, ordinary people can also master Pressure Point Strike techniques, but compared to Byakugan, it requires more preparation and skill."

Kyohiko explained.

Asuma pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized. "No wonder you used Wood Release to expand the grassland; it must enhance your senses, right?"

"Similar meaning."

Kyohiko nodded.

Although Asuma didn't particularly like Kyohiko, he had to admit that Kyohiko's pressure Pressure Point Strike was so impressive that it even made him somewhat fascinated.

However.

He also knew very well that, with his abilities, it was simply impossible for him to do so.

Asuma exclaimed enviously, "That's amazing!"

"Besides Chakra sealed, what other experiences have you had?"

Kyohiko asked.

His physique is so strong that many of his sensations may not be the same as others.

Asuma pondered for a long time.

"My experience? My muscles were a little sore, and at first I felt like I couldn't move, but that disappeared after a few seconds, and I returned to my previous state."

Unable to move...

Kyohiko did indeed use techniques specifically targeting the limbs.

From this perspective...

The Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist and Pressure Point Strike are far more profound than he imagined. Much of the knowledge Hizashi gave him did not touch upon the core of the Hyuga Clan's Pressure Point Strike techniques.

No wonder they are a great clan with a history spanning hundreds of years!

Kyohiko sighed inwardly.

After a moment's hesitation, he said, "I'd like to try it again. Would you be willing to help me?"

"Alright, consider it payment for what you owed."

Asuma pursed his lips, then assumed a fighting stance.

Kyohiko tried again.

This time...

He focused more on attacking muscles and limbs, Chakra to cover his attacks. In the blink of an eye, Kyohiko had already attacked more than a dozen acupoints.

"Ah!"

Asuma was in unbearable pain and screamed in agony.

Kyohiko stopped.

Asuma took a while to recover, beads of cold sweat dripping down his forehead, which he could hardly contain.

It hurts so much!

He struggled to hold on.

Are you alright?

Kyohiko frowned.

Asuma shook his head.

"It's like my muscles have been torn, but not quite. I'm temporarily unable to move. If you use any more Chakra, my limbs might be ruined."

"Feel sorry."

Kyohiko sensed it carefully.

Some muscles were indeed torn by Chakra; it was very minor, but enough to affect mobility.

The Hyuga Clan's Eight Trigrams Palms) is likely a similar technique.

"Nothing."

Asuma gritted his teeth, stood up, looked at the sandbag, and sighed softly.

It seems training is no longer an option!

Why don't you cooperate a little more?

"???"

Asuma was dumbfounded.

I'm already in this state, why should I cooperate?

His expression shifted between light and dark.

After a long pause, Asuma gritted his teeth and said, "Come on!"

"Don't worry, this time..."

Kyohiko's eyes narrowed, and he quickly pointed his finger at the spot where Asuma's muscles had been cut.

Asuma was prepared for excruciating pain and being knocked to the ground in a humiliating manner.

A few seconds later, he felt not an attack, but a gentle, spring-like flow of Chakra that nourished every muscle, sending a tingling sensation through his entire body.

Asuma could not control the tremors.

A few seconds later.

"And now?"

I'll give it a try...

He stretched his limbs and exclaimed incredulously and joyfully, "It's all done!"

Asuma then pulled up his sleeve and said excitedly, "Look, I used to have so many bruises here, but now they're all gone!"

His face stiffened as he spoke.

What am I saying?

Asuma's expression was blank.

Kyohiko nodded. "It's good that you're alright. You can continue practicing. I need to think about it."

Master-level Pressure Point Strike...

If I had the Byakugan, I would definitely be the Hyuga Clan's top Pressure Point Strike master, and I wouldn't even be inferior to them in Gentle Fist.

Without the Byakugan, and instead using perception, it still falls short of the intended meaning.

Further research is needed.

Inside the meeting room.

Tsunade and the three advisors sat facing each other.

A silence fell over the scene.

"Three advisors, please share your thoughts. We need to come up with a plan for Danzo's matter. Otherwise, there won't be any problems in the short term, but if things continue like this, it will definitely end up like the Land of Water now."

Tsunade's expression was serious.

The information from the Land of Water can not only allow Hyuga to prepare in advance, but it can also be used as a case study to put pressure on the three old guys.

after all.

Danzo was a partner of the three of them, and in the past, the three of them often spoke well of Danzo.

Even after Danzo left Konoha, the three of them would occasionally say that Danzo still cared about Konoha and would never do anything to harm Konoha.

This statement was simply to persuade her to Danzo in the future.

"Tsunade, the situation in the Land of Water is different from ours. The Feudal Lord of the Land of Fire is very supportive of us and would never make such a decision."

Hiruzen Sarutobi solemnly.

Tsunade: "Teacher, you're confused. Feudal Lord Daimyo wouldn't make such a decision, but what about his son? Maru Ichikyu is young and impetuous; if he's led Danzo, the next generation of Konoha will be doomed!"

She paused for a moment as she spoke.

"Or do the three advisors intend to trust the wisdom of future generations?"

"..."

The corners of the three people's mouths twitched slightly.

The wisdom of later generations—it's clearly a good phrase, but somehow it sounds ironic.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately fell silent.

He cannot guarantee that.

After all, Danzo's methods and rhetoric were truly top-notch.

Like Aburame Tatsuma.

He was originally an outstanding Jonin, but after following Danzo, his thinking has become rigid, and he strongly believes in Danzo, causing considerable losses to Konoha.

If even the Maru Ichikyu is affected...

The three advisors were speechless for a moment.

After a long while, Mitokado Homura coughed lightly.

"Tsunade, Maru Ichikyu is, after all, the son of Feudal Lord. He agrees with Danzo and the Guardian Ninja's ideals. We can't force him, can we?"

That's why we need to discuss it.

Tsunade's tone softened.

She wasn't trying to argue, but rather to come up with a plan.

The charter targeting Danzo!

"The Guardian Ninja can exist, after all, the Feudal Lord's safety is very important, but Danzo must be eliminated. As his comrades, you are naturally loyal to him, but I have not forgotten why he left Konoha."

"Let's do it that way then."

Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Utatane Koharu looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi in surprise.

"Hiruzen, even you?"

"If internal strife truly breaks out in the Land of Water, I will advise Your Feudal Lord to abandon Danzo."

"That's what Hiruzen Sarutobi said."

He stood up.

"No personal relationship can supersede the safety of the village or the nation, Danzo is no exception!"

After saying that, he turned and left.

Tsunade nodded to the other two advisors.

"My two advisors, now that we've reached a mutual decision, if there's nothing else, you may go about your business."

"..."

Utatane Koharu Tsunade cut her off.

This guy.

When angry, use "consultant" directly; only add a respectful title after the discussion has been resolved.

Dissatisfied and worried, she prepared to leave.

"Oh, right."

Tsunade suddenly remembered something, "Before Dust, I don't want more people to know about this, especially in Kyoto."

Don't worry, I still have my principles.

Utatane Koharu, answered.

Then, she quickly left.

Mitokado Homura.

He really didn't want it to come to that.

but.

From the Danzo left Konoha, attempting to divide power under the guise of Guardian Ninja ninja, it was destined that Danzo had already parted ways with Konoha.

One of them must fall.

As Tsunade said, Danzo must die!
