Late December.
General's Residence, Inner Court training ground.
Kicho, who was standing not far in front of Yayoi, followed the order of the technique with his hands Hand Seals, and his whole body was quickly wrapped by a ball of Chakra that released lavender light. Then this mass of materialized lavender Chakra spread its tail wings like a peacock, and slowly opened behind Kicho.
The peacock tail that unfolded behind Kicho did not need to be fanned hard to drive the surrounding airflow, lift Kicho's body, and make her body float upwards.
It wasn't until both feet were close to about two meters off the ground that the upward trend stopped.
It's not that he doesn't want to continue to lift off, but Kicho can feel that the distance between the air and the ground is already the limit he has reached so far.
If she continues to rise into the air, her center of gravity may become unstable and she will be unable to balance her body, causing her to fall from mid-air.
"Is this the 'Mysterious Peacock Method' that my husband is talking about? I have to say, it is really a magical Secret Technique. It can actually allow people to master the ability to fly."
Kicho was amazed. After all, ninjas with the ability to fly are really rare in Ninja World.
She has just come into contact with this Secret Technique and cannot master it yet. Give her a while and she will be able to freely use the Chakra wings on her back to fly in the sky like a bird in the sky.
This technique not only improved her mobility, but also greatly increased her strength.
"It seems Kicho you have initially mastered this technique."
Regarding Kicho's current status, Yayoi nodded with satisfaction.
Mysterious Peacock Method This Secret Technique may have been difficult to create, and it took him almost a year to complete, but it was still based on his excellent physical control of Chakra.
But after this Secret Technique is formed and taught to others, the difficulty will be greatly reduced.
Especially for Kicho, a highly powerful ninja who can control Chakra in detail. After absorbing some of the energy of the meteorite 'star', it only took a few days to initially find the secret to Mysterious Peacock Method.
"Well, it will take more than half a month to use it skillfully."
Kicho smiled slightly. As a Hyuga Clan ninja, she is very confident in the field of Chakra control.
In her eyes, it is not necessarily difficult to say how difficult the secret technique of Peacock Mystical Technique is. Although it is a 'skill', the core is still inseparable from precise chakra control skills.
The only difficulty is that before officially practicing Mysterious Peacock Method, you need to absorb the special energy of the 'star'.
The special energy of the 'star' is too domineering and dangerous, and cannot be exposed to the weak ninja Chakra.
It is a trivial matter to shorten the lifespan. If it is serious, it may cause the cultivator to die suddenly on the spot, and even the treatment time will be omitted.
Theoretically, it is not an exaggeration to list Mysterious Peacock Method as Forbidden Jutsu.
Kicho felt the strange feeling of being stuck in the air for a while, and then fell from the mid-air, and the lavender Chakra wings behind him converged.
"My lord, do you plan to promote this Secret Technique in the Military Bureau?"
Kicho asked Yayoi about his next plan.
Even she can see the strategic value of this Secret Technique, and she believes that the future that Yayoi can see will only be further.
It would be a pity if this Secret Technique was shelved in a high cabinet and only allowed to be practiced by a small number of people.
"I have this idea, but I still need some time to think about how to implement it."
After hearing Yayoi's opinion, Kicho nodded slightly, understanding Yayoi's concerns.
A Ninjutsu with strategic value, the promotion method needs to be carefully chosen.
Free is the most direct and intuitive way, but doing so will seriously destroy the reward and punishment system of the Land of Night army.
Just like the poverty alleviation strategy formulated by Yayoi in Land of Night, for people who are struggling to survive, he will give priority to providing basic security materials and even provide jobs for these people, but he will never give money directly.
"You really should be more cautious about this. So, sir, you came to me at this time specifically to check on my progress in practicing Mysterious Peacock Method, right?"
Kicho was curious about what happened to Yayoi and came to see him specially at this time.
Mysterious Peacock Method's practice is not difficult for her at all, it is just a matter of spending a little more time.
"The thing is like this, I would like to ask Kicho to summarize Gentle Fist's skills, especially the long-range moves like 'Bagua·Vacuum Palm'."
Yayoi didn't hide anything and directly stated his purpose.
"Gossip·Vacuum Palm? This is no problem. Sir, do you still plan to promote Gentle Fist?"
Kicho nodded and agreed without thinking.
After all, this does not involve the real core of the Hyuga Clan, because the real core of the Hyuga Clan has always been Byakugan, not Gentle Fist.
Only Gentle Fist used with Byakugan is the real Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan.
There is not much difference in essence between Byakugan, Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan and the rest of the Gentle Fist genre.
Furthermore, even if it is Hyuga Clan's core skill, as long as Yayoi wants it, she will give it to her without blinking an eye.
"Actually, it's Samurai. They plan to reform the Swordsmanship school of Land of Night and strengthen the overall capabilities of Samurai. I looked at the direction of their reform and found that there are some overlaps with Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan. I hope you can provide some opinions and guidance."
After hearing Yayoi's explanation, Kicho became even more curious, even with a hint of doubt.
Gentle Fist and Swordsmanship... these should be two completely different fields.
Although there were indeed some overlaps in force-generating techniques, she really couldn't imagine how these two techniques could be integrated.
"How about it, do you want to go take a look? I think Samurai's idea is quite feasible. Maybe it will be of great help to you Kicho."
"Okay, since it's my husband's invitation..."
Seeing the mysterious smile on Yayoi's face, Kicho's interest was suddenly aroused.
She also wants to see what kind of Swordsmanship genre Samurai can reform.
"Sir, I also want to go and see it!"
Seemingly hearing that there was a lot of excitement, Hisana, who had already stopped her physical training not far away and secretly raised her ears to listen, immediately raised her arms to express that she wanted to follow them.
She has never seen how Samurai fights since she was a child.
Although in this era, the Samurai group began to decline, but because of this decline, it has become more mysterious and legendary among some people who do not understand it.
"Okay, let's come together."
Yayoi nodded and allowed Hisana to come with him.
"Come here, too, Long. You always practice hard by yourself, but you can sit in a well and look at the sky. Besides, I remember that you also use a sword."
Kicho smiled and looked at Yu who was still practicing Taijutsu and Ninjutsu on the other side, causing the other party to move involuntarily.
The face under the mask reluctantly nodded. Although Kicho's stimulation was very straightforward, it was very effective.
Because as soon as she heard the words "sit in a well and look at the sky", she couldn't help but think of that sunny morning when she was instantly killed by Kicho with one move, which made her understand what it meant to overestimate one's capabilities.
Later, the three women followed Yayoi to Outer Court.
On an open-air simulation training ground, there are various obstacles placed, especially rocks several meters high, scattered throughout the training ground.
Some rocks are even more than ten meters high, and only Upper Samurai and a very small number of Intermediate Samurai can neatly divide them into two parts.
This kind of stone, which is much taller than a human, is what Samurai people usually use to attack with their swords to enhance their cutting power.
At this time, Yayoi and the three girls Kicho were standing in a shadowed corner at the edge of the training ground, holding their breath and concentrating. They did not come forward to disturb them, but just watched from a distance.
Kurobei stepped out of the team under the gazes of Samurai and others. He gently pressed his palms on the handle of the knife at his waist and stared sharply at the tallest stone on the training field in front of him with his dark pupils.
This boulder is more than fifteen meters high and has an irregular shape. It is also mixed with steel bars that can increase its mass. In terms of strength, it is also stronger than a simple stone.
Some of the steel bars are even exposed on the surface of the stone, looking like a turtle shell that makes it difficult to get started.
Kurobei took a deep breath, and in full view of everyone, he quickly drew the knife, like a flash of light piercing the air.
There is no prelude and no accumulation of energy. It is no different from the usual extremely fast drawing and slashing.
It's not a sharp and thin slash, but an invisible and high-speed airflow, like a tsunami hitting the steel boulder in front of it.
Boom!
With a deafening blasting sound, it exploded on the surface of the steel boulder.
The ferocious momentum directly pushed the steel boulder away. Pieces of stone skin and broken steel bars were blown away from the boulder and scattered all over the ground.
The road along the way was also collapsed by the invisible impact of the Samurai knife.
In the center of the boulder, a gap several meters deep was left. The huge gap was not cut by the Samurai knife, but more like it was opened by gunpowder bombardment.
Although they did not successfully split the steel boulder, the Samurai people around them looked quite excited.
"Awesome, this method of exerting force is indeed feasible!"
"As expected of Master Kurobei, you can deliver such a powerful slash while still in the experimental stage!"
"If Chakra can be more stable, stronger, and more destructive..."
Many Samurai clenched their fists, as if they had seen another form of Samurai genre, which was quietly taking root.
No longer focus on sharpness and speed, but regard yourself as a fort, use the Samurai knife as a barrel, and the slash you swing out is the artillery fire that destroys everything!
Yayoi and others in the distance naturally saw this scene.
Hisana held a paper bag with "Hisana's snack bag" written on it, and stuffed food into his mouth while paying attention to the situation on the training ground.
There was no movement on her face. She couldn't understand the Samurais' excitement.
Is this something to be happy about?
Even if a stone of that size is mixed with steel bars, she can crush it with one punch.
Samurai... Looks pretty weak.
Different from Hisana's "barrenness", the three of Yayoi saw something completely different.
Especially Hao, she was shocked in her heart. She never thought that Swordsmanship could be used like this.
Not chopping, not splitting, not slicing, but blasting and impact!
"No wonder, my husband, you want to ask me for Gentle Fist's method of exerting force. It does have many similarities with Gentle Fist like 'Bagua·Vacuum Palm'."
Kicho squinted and opened Byakugan, Yingying laughed.
"Well, I believe Kicho, you can also see that this method of exerting force is still primitive, so there are many loopholes. Especially the hardness of Chakra..."
Yayoi points out the key.
Kurobei If you use a slash that focuses on sharpness and speed, you can definitely split a stone like that.
But changing the method of exerting force exposed the shortcomings of his Swordsmanship.
This is also related to the fact that this new way of exerting force has not yet been perfected. Otherwise, Kurobei would not push away the boulder, but directly smash the boulder and the ground in front of it.
One of the reasons is the same as what he said, the released Chakra is not hard enough.
This is why Yayoi wants to ask Kicho for advice.
The gossip of the Hyuga Clan·Vacuum Palm is exactly a kind of remote Taijutsu.
The Chakra that is impacted can form a material harder than steel to attack the target.
The upgraded Gentle Fist of Vacuum Palm is the 'Divine Rend' developed by Kicho. Raise your hand to release high-density Chakra, which can crush the ground dozens of meters in front of you in Setsuna.
It is similar to the Swordsmanship that Kurobei just performed.
It's just that Kicho is released with the flesh palm, and Kurobei is released with the Samurai knife.
If this genre Swordsmanship is fully formed, it can be called 'Sword Cannon'!
Swordsmanship will usher in new innovations in coverage and power, and Samurai will also turn into humanoid cannons.
No Hand Seals is needed, no pre-preparation is required, it can be released with a wave of the knife.
"In this case, my lord, I will reluctantly accept these 'students'."
As he spoke, Kicho suppressed his smile, and his figure flashed. When he reappeared, he was already in the mid-air of the training ground. Byakugan locked onto the boulder that Kurobei had just pushed back.
"Well, I remember that this is the way to exert force..."
Kicho, who owns Byakugan, had just gained insights into Kurobei's Chakra flow and release methods, and silently noted them down. She felt that part of them completely overlapped with Bagua·Vacuum Palm.
As long as she understands the working principle of Chakra, she can perfectly reproduce Kurobei and Swordsmanship.
She pulled out Kumokiri and swung it towards the boulder below.
Boom!
Strong white light swept across the ground, the training ground shook violently, and the steel boulders more than ten meters high, along with the ground below, were completely swallowed up by the 'Sword Cannon' released by Kicho.
Rubbles and broken steel bars mixed with dust flew everywhere. After the dust and smoke cleared, a shocking large crater was left on the ground.
Samurai people looked at this scene in astonishment. They held their breath and looked at the rubble and broken steel bars on the ground. They were speechless for a long time.
"Mr. Kurobei, I'm sorry for stealing your prey."
"Ah, it doesn't matter, Master Kicho, I don't care about this."
Kurobei looked at Kicho who landed smoothly from mid-air, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Hyuga's Byakugan is really amazing.
