Setting Out Again

Fortunately, Kangetsu had recorded a rather time-consuming testing method in the scroll: using leaves, continuously channeling chakra into them, then identifying one's chakra nature by observing the leaves' reactions!

But judging by the fifty people's exhausted yet delighted expressions, they had probably succeeded! Each of them also held a chakra weapon! Chakra weapons were not particularly durable, but iron was scarce. After all, in the original story, when the Senju Clan defeated the Uchiha Clan and confiscated the shuriken and other weapons they surrendered, every single one was damaged. It was clear that weapons were still in short supply during this era! Therefore, weapons forged from Chakra Ore could not be taken onto the battlefield, but they were excellent for children to train with! And they were cheap!

Thus, Kangetsu's fifty subordinates were now equipped with chakra weapons! Seeing them like this, they had likely already mastered chakra nature training! Though they were young, those tempered on the battlefield could not be compared to the people of the Five Kage Era! Treating a single chakra nature as something only jonin could master was simply ridiculous!

No wonder the Five Kage of the Five Kage Era looked like mere children in Uchiha Madara's hands!

Kangetsu naturally knew all this, but as he looked at those fifty exhausted faces—

He raised his hand and lightly snapped his fingers!

Inoue, who had been following behind Kangetsu, immediately hurried forward and asked, "Lord Kangetsu, what are your orders?"

Kangetsu studied Uchiha Inoue and said, "Not bad. It seems you've already grasped chakra nature transformation. Judging by the burns on your hand, your chakra nature should be fire, right?"

Inoue's eyes widened at first, then he said worshipfully, "Thank you for your concern, Lord Kangetsu. My chakra nature is indeed fire. But I must also thank you, Lord Kangetsu, for teaching us these nature-based ninjutsu. I am profoundly grateful!"

Kangetsu remained as calm as ever and nodded. These things might have been commonplace in the Five Kage Era, but in the Warring States Period, they were absolutely like forbidden techniques! Kangetsu readily accepted Inoue's gratitude. Although the ninjutsu Kangetsu had taught these fifty people yesterday could only be considered ordinary ninjutsu, and he had already taught them to his older brother and younger brother, they were still things from the Five Kage Era—priceless treasures in the Warring States Period!

But Kangetsu did not want to dwell on this any further. He asked directly, "How far are we from Ino-Shika-Cho?"

As he spoke, he took another large step forward. Inoue followed close behind and said, "Lord Kangetsu, only a few kilometers remain. At our current speed, we should arrive in ten minutes! Still, the name Ino-Shika-Cho is really a mouthful!"

Those words made Kangetsu feel a faint stir of excitement. Though Ino-Shika-Cho was not overwhelmingly powerful, it was no less than a top-tier clan! The Nara's intelligence, the Yamanaka's support, and the Akimichi's medicine-making were all first-rate!

Therefore, Kangetsu immediately shouted, "Everyone, halt!"
