Meanwhile, Land of Fire borders.
"Earth Release, Earth Style Wall!"
A white-haired ninja with a diagonal belt Forehead Protector wears a mask, revealing only 1/4 of his face. In this blocked canyon, a thick dog-headed earth wall rises.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Countless Undead Puppet walked with heavy steps and knocked on the sudden thick earth wall in front of them, making a continuous and heavy impact sound.
On both sides above the canyon, several ninjas have been ambushing here early and are ready Explosive Tag.
"Now! Detonate!" Asuma held a cigarette in his mouth, his eyes focused, and he waved his hand fiercely.
Shikamaru on the other side of the canyon heard the instruction without hesitation, and immediately lit a long string of Explosive Tag attached to the rock wall.
The next second.
"Boom boom boom boom!!!!"
Deafening serial explosions echoed in the canyon.
Kakkō and thick smoke instantly swallowed up a large piece of the Undead Legion crowded at the front. Broken rock limbs flew everywhere, and the impact of the explosion even knocked the puppet at the back to the ground.
However, after the smoke and dust dissipated, those Undead Puppet stone fragments emitted a strange purple light, and then slowly gathered and reshaped at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, he stood up again and continued moving forward, tirelessly destroying it, as if the explosion just now had never happened.
"Sure enough, Explosive Tag alone cannot completely block it."
Kakashi's exposed right eye swept across the battlefield, and his voice was a little helpless.
"Kai, Asuma, follow the second plan and eliminate the fish that have slipped through the net to gain time for the next round of arrangements."
"Understood!" Might Guy's voice was full of energy, and he couldn't hold it back any longer.
"This is the bloody battlefield of youth! Let me use my fiery Taijutsu to smash these stones!"
"Tsk, troublesome guy." Asuma blew out a smoke ring and then waved.
"Let's go, Shikamaru, Choji, Ino."
The order will be issued soon.
Members of Team Kai and Team Asuma jumped down from the canyon one after another and began to look for the lone Undead Puppet to clean or guide them.
On the side below the canyon, Hyuga Neji is experimenting with his so-called True Qi Gentle Fist.
The process is not complicated, but requires extremely fine Chakra control.
He first attached water attribute Chakra to his palms, coupled with the unique penetrating property of Gentle Fist, he used Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms to hit a person Undead Puppet at high speed.
"One palm... six palms... twelve palms..."
With the last palm, he instantly converted the nature of Chakra into the fire attribute, and used the method taught by Kai to blast in with the maximum palm force!
"Tsk--!!!"
A large amount of high-temperature white steam instantly erupted from inside the hit puppet.
Under the rapid vaporization and expansion of the water inside the rock body and the scorching impact of the external fire attribute Chakra, a series of overwhelming cracking sounds were made, and then it fell apart with a "bang".
The weird purple light flickered for a few times, and after a while, it reshaped again.
Neji saw this and pulled away, looking down at his bandaged, slightly red and warm palms.
The set just now was a big test for his Chakra control and arm endurance.
The instant burst of fire attribute Chakra, even with the protection of bandages and Chakra, the burning sensation is still clear.
"Not enough." He whispered to himself.
The power is there, but the activation speed is too slow and requires a long preparation.
He looked at his bandaged hands, and his mind couldn't help but go back to the idea he had just proposed.
"Combine the Chakra properties of water and fire to instantly generate high-temperature steam to enhance Gentle Fist's destructive power?" Kai touched his chin and repeated what Neji had just said with a thoughtful look on his face.
After a while, he patted Neji on the shoulder and gave him a thumbs up in praise.
"It's a good idea, this is the innovation of youthful buds!" Kai first praised, and then told his dilemma.
"But I'm not good at it."
Kai admitted that he was only good at pure Taijutsu and Eight Gates. He was not good at the fine control of Chakra.
However, he also offered his own thoughts.
"Friction! Neji!
For example, my Morning Peacock uses high-speed blows to generate heat through friction and create flames." He gestured with joyful gestures.
"Your idea is very good, but what you need is theoretical guidance, theory... ah, yes! Theory! Follow me."
So that period of time could be called Kakashi-sensei's nightmare, not Neji's nightmare.
As soon as Kakashi returns to his residence, he just opens the door.
"Kakashi!" Kai, who was doing push-ups at Kakashi's house, greeted enthusiastically, while Neji stood next to him with a blank look on his face.
Or climb in through the window.
"Kakashi! Did you sleep?"
Neji "..." on the rooftop
Restroom.
Kakashi, who had just gotten up and was about to wash his face and brush his teeth, saw Kai squatting on his toilet.
"Hey, Kakashi, today Tenten is really suitable for discussing the principles of ninjutsu!"
Neji who blew the wind all night "..."
No matter it's a noodle shop.
"Kakashi!" Kai, who was hanging upside down from the ceiling, gave a thumbs up and looked down at Kakashi, who was eating noodles with a dull expression.
And Neji, who was standing at the door and already looking desperate.
toilet.
Humming a song, Kakashi entered the public toilet and was about to unbutton his pants.
"Kakashi!!!"
Hot spring.
I want to go to the bathhouse and take a bath to relieve my fatigue.
As soon as he opened the curtain of the men's bath, he saw Kai and Neji already soaking in the pool, and Kai waved vigorously at him.
"Kakashi! Here."
Watch <Make-Out Paradise> in the park.
Kakashi was sitting on a swing in the park trying to relax, when the sand in front of him suddenly moved, and then a head emerged.
"Ka--ka-xi--!"
"..." Kakashi's dead fish eyes seemed to be even weaker, and even <Make-Out Paradise> almost got rid of it.
Finally, one evening, when Kakashi finished taking a bath and relaxed Earth Flow came out of the bathroom, wiping his hair with a towel and thinking about what to eat at night?
Whoosh, a cup of hot tea was handed to him.
"Ah, thank you." Kakashi subconsciously took it. After reacting, he turned his head and saw Kai with a smile on his face, and Neji sitting quietly on the chair.
Kakashi was silent for three seconds, put the towel on his shoulders, sighed, and Earth Flow sat down opposite as if resigned to his fate.
"Tell me, Kai, and Neji,"
His voice was full of helplessness.
"What on earth do you want to do? My time has been taken up by your youth lately."
Kai was unusually shy. He turned his head and scratched his chin, then turned back, clasped his hands together, and bowed his head very formally.
"Um...Kakashi, please do me a favor!"
Kakashi raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Neji, on the other hand, sat upright and explained his idea about combining water and fire attributes Chakra to produce steam to enhance Gentle Fist.
Kakashi After listening, he touched his chin and revealed his right eye thoughtfully. After a moment, he spoke directly.
"No."
Neji was startled, but Kai immediately started shouting.
"Why not? What a youthful idea."
Kakashi lazily raised his hand to signal Kai to calm down and looked at Neji:.
You want to fuse the two changed properties of Chakra in the body, react, and produce a large amount of steam eruption... The idea is very interesting, but with your current level of control over Chakra, and the nature of the two properties themselves, direct fusion is not feasible."
He picked up a glass of water on the table and found a lighter.
"Look, water and fire. You want them to work together to create steam.
But if you throw fire directly into water, unless the fire is big enough to evaporate a lot of water in an instant, the fire will be extinguished by the water first."
As he spoke, he lit a piece of toilet paper on fire and threw it into the glass of water.
The answer is obvious, the ignited fire is extinguished instantly.
"Chakra Nature Transformation is similar, especially water and fire, which are incompatible to some extent.
If you want to achieve perfect mutual cancellation in the Chakra acupoints in a very short time, you need frighteningly precise control power and a strong enough Chakra volume as the basis, otherwise it will easily fail and even backfire on yourself."
Neji listened carefully, frowning slightly.
But he knows that Kakashi-sensei has not yet been said.
"But... you can take them apart and practice them first, without thinking so far."
"Your idea is good, but it can easily cause conflicts. First, use it alone, such as the water attribute, Chakra penetration, and then use the fire attribute to create a momentary burst.
After you become proficient, you can pursue faster connections, such as one hand, one attribute, and then be able to switch quickly.
When you have control over every attribute, maybe you can talk about a deeper combination."
These words made Neji suddenly enlightened. He was indeed a little eager for success before and wanted to get it done in one step.
And Kakashi-sensei has pointed out a clear path for him.
"Thank you very much, Kakashi-sensei!" Neji saluted solemnly.
Kai also patted Kakashi hard on the shoulder.
"As expected of my eternal rival! Hit the nail on the head!"
Kakashi dodged Kai's "enthusiastic slap" and waved his hand.
"Okay, okay, the problem is solved, go back quickly. Let me clean up for a while..."
The memory ends here.
He looked up at the other side and saw Rock Lee driving Eight Gates, crushing Undead Legion with a violent attack, and clenched his fists.
Then he led his piece of the Undead Legion into another trap.
Tenten on the other side, just after repelling an approaching puppet with the giant Shuriken, took the time to glance at his teammates.
Rock Lee's hands are wrapped in bandages (because of Primary Lotus), Neji's hands are also wrapped in bandages (because of the need for protection when practicing new skills)...
She looked down at her hands, which were a little red due to frequent use of ninja tools and scrolls, but were still white and clean.
A ridiculous and somewhat funny idea suddenly came to me.
Do you want... me to put on a bandage too?
As soon as the thought came out, she quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of the thought.
"No!"
