A breakthrough in strength: Six Paths level

Konoha.

Ignoring the three little ones outside, "Taiichi" walked into the Mission Hall and headed straight for the mission acceptance area.

Along the way, many ninjas greeted Taiichi, and he responded politely to each one, just like any other Taiichi.

Clearly, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

Upon arriving at the mission acceptance area, Taiichi expertly extended his hand and said directly, "Mission number forty-five, thank you!"

The person registering the mission looked up upon hearing this, and upon seeing Taiichi, was first stunned, then exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Taiichi, didn't you say you weren't accepting missions today?"

Taiichi cursed his bad luck inwardly, having run into someone who knew the truth, but he showed no outward sign of distress and readily told lies.

"It's all because of those kids. They insisted on doing another task, so I had no choice but to take on another one."

The staff didn't suspect anything, just smiled and said, "Your team member is so lucky," and readily completed the formalities for "Taiichi."

Holding the mission manual, "Taiichi" immediately found his team members, and the four of them—one adult and three children—left the Mission Hall quite naturally.

When the four of them left the crowd and came to a secluded corner, Taiichi "bang," while the original Itachi disappeared in a puff of white smoke—it was a Shadow Clone.

"Haha, you succeeded again! Quickly, let me see what mission Itachi took this time."

Leaving aside the three little ones working hard to get C-Rank Mission as soon as possible, Taiichi didn't go home either. He directly Flying Thunder God.

Judging from the size of this open space, which is about the size of a football field, and the trees that have been cut down around it, this is clearly a Training Ground specially set up by Taiichi.

At this moment, Taiichi created four Shadow Clones, each arriving at one of the four corners of the arena. As the four of them simultaneously Hand Seals, a massive isolation Barrier enveloped the entire arena, then disappeared after flashing a few times.

It wasn't that he was making Taiichi big fuss. If it were ordinary cultivation, there would be no need for such precautions. But the next step was a crucial breakthrough, and he had to devote himself to it wholeheartedly, so it was necessary to be vigilant.

With everything prepared, Taiichi sat cross-legged in the center of the arena, and the four Shadow Clones that had just set up the Barrier dispersed around him once again.

A dense mass of blackness rose from the palms of two of them, and something seemed to be emerging from within this blackness.

This is precisely the creation of form from nothingness in Yin Release).

The other two were enveloped in a rich green light, which was extremely similar to the light of Medical Ninjutsu, except that it contained a much stronger life force.

This is the characteristic of Yang Release) giving form to destiny.

Taiichi's main body, however, focused its attention on the two pieces of information on the panel.

[Yang Release Nature Transformation Lv14 (5999/6000)]

[Yin Release Nature Transformation Lv14 (5999/6000)]

Both Yin Release and Yang Release are just one step away from reaching the level of Super Kage, and now is the time for them to break through.

Taiichi closed his eyes, his left hand emanating black Chakra symbolizing Yin Release, and his right hand emanating green Chakra symbolizing Yang Release. The two Chakra constantly changed in his hands, displaying their different Nature Transformation.

At a certain moment, the four Shadow Clone completely disappeared due to the exhaustion of their Chakra. The memories of the Shadow Clone were transmitted back to the main body. The sudden influx of a large amount of experience and insights was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, helping Taiichi break through that last obstacle.

[You are focusing on practicing Yin Release Nature Transformation, related experience +1]

[You are focusing on practicing the Yang Release Nature Transformation, related experience +1]

[Congratulations, your Yin Release Nature Transformation has reached Lv15 (1/7000)]

[Congratulations, your Yin Release Nature Transformation has reached Lv15 (1/7000)]

Taiichi suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with joy.

He opened his right hand, Chakra condensed in his hand, and in the next moment a Black Receiver rapidly formed in his hand, all in the blink of an eye.

Unlike at Lv14, when it was slow and took a long time to gather even a little bit of speed, its current speed is already capable of practical combat.

This Black Receiver, formed from Yin-Yang Release, not only possesses the ability to transmit Chakra over long distances, but its sheer strength and ability to disrupt the body's Chakra give it a natural advantage as a weapon.

Whether it was Pain in the early stages or the later Otsutsuki members, they all liked to condense Black Receiver as weapons.

This is not only convenient, but also very cost-effective!

At this time, Taiichi was like a child who had received a new toy, constantly trying out new ways to use the Black Receiver.

It's called Black Receiver, but it's just the form that Nagato and his Nagato users most often condense.

They say a month is for sticks, a year for knives, and a lifetime for guns.

The long staff is the easiest weapon to master and use in combat. In addition, its simple structure means that it does not require particularly strong Chakra Control to construct. Naturally, they would choose this simple form for their creation.

Don't think that Chakra Control is a simple matter.

Taiichi dared to say that Nagato, and even most of the later Otsutsuki members, had terrible Chakra Control.

Not to mention comparing him to a master like Tsunade has dedicated himself to this field, he's not even as good as any random medical Jonin from Konoha.

What they rely on is mostly the superhuman abilities brought by their bloodline, and also their violent output, like throwing bricks with sheer force.

However, Taiichi is different; he learned to Chakra Control bit by bit from scratch.

His Chakra Control, also at Ly15 level, allowed him to freely change the shape of the Black Receiver he formed.

One moment he'd casually scatter a shower of senbon Senbon, the next he'd toss out a barrage of Shuriken, then he'd try out Kunai, longswords, shields, nunchucks—he tried every weapon Taiichi.

In the end, he fixed the shape that suited him onto the longsword.

The reason is simple: swordsmanship is one of his most proficient offensive techniques.

Creating Black Receiver is an ability of Yin-Yang Release, but Yin-Yang Release has more than just this ability. Creating life, repairing souls, and creating Truth-Seeking Orb are all advanced applications of Yin-Yang Release.

However, these are not things that Taiichi can achieve at the moment. He has only initially fused the Yin and Yang Chakra attributes.

To go further, he needs to incorporate the other five attributes: fire, earth, water, wind, and thunder. Only then...

Only by mastering the complete form of Yin-Yang Release can these advanced applications be developed.

Just as Taiichi was immersed in mastering the Yin-Yang Release technique, this power, which was of a higher level than ordinary Chakra, seemed to have triggered some kind of switch in his mind.

Taiichi held the long black sword, and his slashing movements gradually slowed down until finally Taiichi stood still with the sword in his hand.

Suddenly, sparks began to appear around Taiichi, followed by a burst of flames rising from his body. In the next moment, as if out of control, Taiichi transformed into a torch soaring into the sky.

The raging flames enveloped Taiichi's entire body. These flames rhythmically expanded and compressed, then expanded and compressed again. After each round of expansion and compression, the temperature of the flames jumped significantly, and their color became even brighter and more dazzling.

The scorching heat burned the entire space, and the previously hidden Barrier was revealed under this intense heat.

The Barrier began to flicker incessantly, clearly indicating that it had been subjected to an attack exceeding its limits, especially the area above Taiichi's head, which was twisted and deformed.

As the temperature of the flames continued to rise, the entire Barrier finally could no longer hold on and shattered into countless stardust fragments with a "bang".

At this moment, it seemed that Ping had accumulated to a certain extent. After the final compression, the dazzling white flame suddenly dimmed and became more restrained. The flame was no longer glaring, nor did it emit high temperatures. Even its size shrank to just cover Taiichi's body.

Contrary to its appearance, it was also destructive. Around the flames, the entire space slowly melted like a candle, and a pitch-black void gradually appeared around Taiichi.

At this moment, Taiichi, enveloped in milky white flames, floated silently in the center of this empty space.

At the same time, data on Taiichi's panel was updating rapidly.

[During enlightenment, understanding of fire attribute transformation has increased, experience points +1]

[Congratulations, your Fire Nature Transformation has reached Lv16 (1/8000)]

That's not all. Perhaps it was due to the accumulation of knowledge and experience, but once the level was broken, the previously stagnant experience prompts started popping up one after another like a bustling market. When the last one ended, the Fire Nature Transformation directly took a leap, reaching Lv16 (325/8000).

Just then, Taiichi finally opened his eyes, and it was as if two milky white flames were burning in his eyes, extremely domineering.

Taiichi, who had regained consciousness, was clearly also confused about his current situation, but he quickly found the answer from the prompts on the panel.

He looked at his hands, then at the milky white flames and the pitch-black void around him, and a bright smile appeared on his face.

The Fire Nature Transformation at the Six Paths level is terrifying and has never been seen before in history.

This flame, capable of burning through space, is his unique Six Paths Fire Style.

Moreover, Taiichi looked down at his feet and confirmed that he was floating in mid-air, but he did not use any power.

In other words, flight is the basic manifestation of the power of the Six Paths level, so there's no need to worry about falling from the sky anymore.

Taiichi controlled the power, slowly withdrawing it into his body. His Lv15 Chakra Control was no joke; even with such violent power, Taiichi only needed a little time to adapt before he could use it with ease.

As the milky-white flames disappeared, the shattered space around them was rapidly restored by the natural forces of heaven and earth; in the time it takes to breathe, no trace of it could be seen.

Taiyi landed on his feet again, looking at the glazed ground that had been burned by the flames around him, he felt a sense of emotion in his heart. From now on, it would be increasingly difficult to find ninjutsu training venues.

This fertile soil has been baked into glass, and it's not something that can be turned back into its original state by Ninjutsu. If it's used carelessly, it's truly destroying the environment.

Taiichi raised his hand, and a milky white flame appeared above his palm. Although there was no heat radiation, the space around the flame began to collapse, as if all the heat had been transmitted to the spatial level.

However, Taiichi frowned. This was not the result he wanted. As he concentrated, the flame in his hand began to change. Although it was still milky white, it began to radiate intense heat.

At the same time, the scale of the surrounding space collapse also decreased slightly, as if there were an adjustable switch, following Taiichi's thoughts.

By manipulating the flame, one can freely distribute its power to either release high temperatures outwards or inwards to burn through space.

Now, Taiichi finally smiled again. How could Six Paths Level Fire Style be so inconvenient? Naturally, it should change freely according to one's will; that was the kind of flame Taiichi desired.

Just as Taiichi was happily experimenting with the power he had gained after his breakthrough, he was unaware that his breakthrough had already alerted another person.

Pure Land.

Forever shrouded in mist, forever shrouded in darkness.

In this environment, there was a space that emitted an unusually bright light.

Zooming in, one is astonished to find that it is an area shrouded in a spherical light shield, and the light is emanating from that shield.

Inside the light shield was a piece of land about one square kilometer in size, with flowers and trees, as well as a small pond, beside which stood a small wooden house.

This scene appearing in the Pure Land is truly magical and leaves one speechless.

This place, which can be described as the Pure Land of Pure Lands, is naturally the residence of Hagoromo Otsutsuki.

His Hagoromo Otsutsuki, was able to carve out a habitable place on the moon, so naturally, as the older brother, he also possessed such abilities.

But this place is ultimately Pure Land, and his power can only protect a small area.

Meanwhile, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, who had been sleeping in the cabin, had already stepped out.

He looked up at the sky, and above that was the location of the current Ninja World. The unfamiliar Six Paths Power that had flashed by before was now lingering and exceptionally conspicuous.

This time, it's certain that Hagoromo Otsutsuki is a newly promoted member of the Six Paths.

Otherwise, this person wouldn't have been able to so freely exude his unique Six Paths aura, giving Hagoromo Otsutsuki time to pinpoint his location.

Hagoromo Otsutsuki spread his right hand, and a Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb took shape in his palm. The next moment, the Truth-Seeking Orb Ball stretched and lengthened, forming a staff.

He waved his staff, and guided by that aura, he no longer needed to Scout blindly. His senses followed the guidance upwards, successfully extending into the mortal world after breaking through the barrier of the Pure Land.

Taiichi was still experimenting with his Fire Style. After this brief period of experimentation, he finally found the optimal balance between temperature and spatial destruction, allowing his Six Paths Fire Style to unleash its maximum destructive power.

However, while the power of the Six Paths Level is indeed powerful, it also consumes a great deal of energy. Even with Taiichi's current Chakra Quantity, he would find it extremely difficult to use it for an extended period of time.

Of course, Taiichi's duration is definitely different from that of ordinary ninjas.

A typical Jonin can only fight for a maximum of one hour in a high-intensity battle.

In Taiichi's view, not being able to bombard others with Ninjutsu for half a day is called a lack of Chakra.

If Taiichi were to use Six Paths Fire Style techniques continuously in battle, the battle time could only be compressed to within one hour, which would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous for him.

Feeling that more than half of his Chakra had been depleted, Taiichi stopped and prepared to return to the village. Just then, a mysterious fluctuation directly touched his mind.
