A few days later.
Land of Snow Pier.
Ning Xue stood on the deck, looking at the port covered with snow and the continuous pure white mountains in the distance.
Through the mask, he slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air with white mist.
The biting cold wind enveloped him, but it did not make him feel any discomfort, but a sense of calm that belonged here.
Is it an illusion?
Or I got seasick and fainted.
He raised a hand and quickly condensed a Ice Cone in his palm.
Here, he can clearly feel that his Secret Technique is boiling.
Not only does it consume less, it condenses quickly, but it is also harder.
At the same time, some changes have also taken place in appearance. The originally crystal clear Ice Cone is obviously covered with a layer of white in the environment of Land of Snow.
"Ninja-sama, Land of Snow is here." Miyoshi walked over, rubbing his hands, his tone more respectful than before.
"It's freezing cold here, please take care of yourself."
Ning Xue nodded, carried his simple luggage, and hung the newly acquired long knife on his waist.
"Thank you for the scabbard. This is the money I should pay."
After throwing out a bag of coins, he ignored the captain and set foot on the land of Land of Snow without looking back.
The snow crunched underfoot, leaving clear marks with every step.
He found a secluded roof under the wind, temporarily avoiding the noisy crowds and the wind and snow.
He leaned against a wall and carefully took out the notebook left by his mother from his backpack.
Take a deep breath and slowly open the first page.
The handwriting on the yellowed page is a bit steady, and it doesn't seem to be my mother's handwriting.
...Fujiwara Clan, the power that resonates with ice and snow has been passed down from generation to generation.
It is not Kekkei Genkai, but Secret Technique that relies on the unique Chakra operating method to communicate with nature.
It comes from our understanding and awe of this land of ice and snow, rather than a gift from blood.
Because of this, our family has far greater adaptability to ice than ordinary people. We can sense cold more easily, guide ice and snow, and even create ice and snow.
In the environment of Land of Snow, our power will naturally increase.
This is a gift from God and the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors...
However, the threshold for learning this power is extremely high.
It not only requires the cultivator to have fine Chakra control, but also requires the user's heart to be as peaceful as ice and snow.
If the user's heart is impetuous, radical, or even full of distracting thoughts, he will not be able to reach the core throughout his life.
It is precisely because of the need for a calm and pure heart that many people give up during cultivation, unwilling to devote long years to studying the nature of the mind, and instead turn to Ice Release, which is simpler and can control snow.
With the gradual development of the times, Shinobi World pursues ninjutsu with quick results and powerful destructive power.
In addition, Land of Snow is becoming increasingly closed, resources are scarce, and the tribe has begun to disperse... Fujiwara Clan will inevitably disappear into the vast white snow.
Seeing this, Ning Xue's eyes under the mask flashed unconsciously.
He remembered that when he was at Konoha, Ice Release's cultivation was indeed progressing slowly. Except for the basic Ice Needle and Ice Cone, more profound changes were always difficult to master.
Of course, the best time to use it is in winter, but it is still far less than the increase of Land of Snow.
And as soon as he stepped into Land of Snow, the resonance that almost came from the depths of his blood made him feel that he seemed to be able to control all the wind and snow here.
He continued to read, and some basic Chakra guidance diagrams, meditation methods and simple Ice Release form changing techniques began to appear.
These skills cannot be used in Konoha, let alone learned.
The snow is quiet as you like, and the snow condenses as you like.
Feeling the ice and snow is not controlling the ice and snow.
Ning Xue After turning over a few more pages, he closed the notebook and put it away carefully.
The pages of this notebook are a bit thick and cannot be read in a short time.
The top priority is to find a place where he can concentrate on his cultivation without being disturbed.
At the same time...
He touched his forehead.
We still have to find a way to release the shackles.
He left the temporary shelter of the roof and stepped into the wind and snow again.
After buying a few rice balls in front of my restaurant, I walked towards a place where I could clearly see that it was a forest.
What's interesting is that the ninjas here seem to be wearing a layer of armor. At least for now, Ning Xue doesn't see any use for it.
In the afternoon, Ning Xue found a relatively ideal location after running around all afternoon.
"This is it."
He put down his luggage and started building.
I didn't ask for help from others, I relied on my own efforts.
He used his newly obtained long knife to cut suitable wood, and relied on his somewhat superficial knowledge of construction to barely build a small wooden house that could accommodate one person.
(Since you have decided to live here for a long time, you will always need a place to shelter from the wind and snow.)
And for the next month, life was very regular.
He will be the first to try, learn the ninjutsu recorded in his notes, and try to improve it so that he can perform it by himself without relying on the environment.
After all, he has to leave Land of Snow eventually.
In terms of life, he was not isolated from the world.
After all, in this wind and snow, prey is scarce, so you still have to go to the town to exchange for food rations.
Every few days, he puts on a mask and heads to the nearest town.
He set up a simple stall in a relatively remote corner of the town, with the word "diagnosis and treatment" written in charcoal on a wooden board.
At first no one cared about it, thinking it was a liar. After all, how could a doctor set up a stall outside?
And they don't have the money to pay the high medical bills.
The turning point occurred on a windy and snowy evening. A hunter was helped by his companions to his stall. The hunter's leg was torn apart by a wild beast. The wound was bone-deep and there were signs of infection.
The town's herbalists were at their wits' end.
Ning Xue didn't say anything, but just motioned for them to lay the injured person down.
He turned on Byakugan to accurately explore the inside of the wound, debrided it, applied the ointment he prepared, and finally supplemented it with Medical Ninjutsu.
Orion's injuries stabilized at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This scene was witnessed by many townspeople.
Since then, Ning Xue's medical booth has gradually gained popularity.
His charges are low, and sometimes he even allows food or some unique local medicinal materials to be used as payment.
He was still taciturn, but his medical skills and mysterious mask made him a somewhat eccentric but trustworthy little outside doctor in the eyes of the residents of this small town.
