The time has come to early April, the season of spring and flowers blooming, but the winter chill still remains in Nightview City, which has not completely dissipated.
Nearly a month has passed since the day Yaya woke up.
People in General's Residence have gradually become accustomed to this black-haired girl who often travels with Irori and behind Yayoi.
Although Yayoi did not explain anything in detail, he only informed of the existence of Yaya and gave her a personal position as 'General Personal Guard'.
But people who are familiar with Irori can probably guess that Yaya, a newcomer, is likely to have the same strength as Irori.
Inner Court training ground, Yayoi is developing Ninjutsu that can be used in conjunction with Chakra Armament Mode.
That is, in Chakra Armament Mode, inject Chakra Nature Transformation.
In the nearly one month before this, Yayoi did not directly inject Chakra Nature Transformation, but first trained the earth attribute Chakra Nature Transformation to the level of proficiency.
Among the various Release Techniques he has mastered, earth attributes and water attributes are the two attributes he has studied most deeply.
Among them, the earth attribute is Release Technique that he uses most often. Earth Release Technique is not only capable of both offense and defense, but it is also the most convenient and easiest among Five Elements Ninjutsu to transform the terrain.
In the early stage when he lacked means, Earth Release Technique solved a lot of troubles for him in the battle.
Therefore, in the previous month, Yayoi first determined the first Chakra Nature Transformation to be trained, and then divided four Shadow Clone to conduct training on changes in soil properties.
Different from Chakra Armament Mode, Chakra's nature change cultivation is much safer, allowing Yayoi to branch out and practice more Shadow Clone simultaneously.
It can only be said that it is indeed a training cheating tool. After having a good foundation of earth attribute property changes, it only took less than a month for Yayoi to upgrade the earth attribute property changes to a higher degree of qualitative change.
Various Earth Release Ninjutsu are also more convenient to use. You can use the same Chakra in the past to exert a stronger Earth Release Technique power.
"The next step is to inject the property changes into Chakra Cloak..."
A blue flame-like entity Chakra emerged from Yayoi's body. It was the materialized Chakra Cloak that fit perfectly with his body.
It looks light and weightless, but only when you put on this layer of Chakra Cloak and Yayoi can you really know that this layer of outerwear is definitely not something that ordinary ninjas can bear.
This technique has extremely strict requirements on Chakra's activity, control, and even physical fitness.
Although it is not to the level of S-level, it is still higher than A-level, and this is also due to his Active Chakra.
No one else has such a Active Chakra. The difficulty of practicing this move is as dangerous and deadly as the S-level Forbidden Jutsu.
The activated Chakra has a strong will to life. If the operator's conditions are insufficient, the "alive" Active Chakra will be reversely eroded and killed.
And this model is just the most basic 'skeleton' conceived by Yayoi.
Only by completing Chakra Nature Transformation will the complete posture of Chakra Armament Mode appear.
Yayoi took a deep breath, and quietly began to inject changes in the nature of the soil into Chakra Cloak on his body.
According to his idea, after injecting the change of earth attribute Chakra, the offensive and defensive capabilities of Chakra Cloak will be further improved.
As for how far it can be improved, it will require subsequent development.
If all goes well...
"Ahem!"
The moment the soil properties changed, Yayoi felt an irresistible and terrifying pressure, like Mount Tai hitting his body.
His knees suddenly bent uncontrollably, and he knelt down on one knee, spitting out a mouthful of blood and splattering it on the ground.
Without hesitation, Yayoi dispersed Chakra Cloak from his body, and the unimaginable pressure slowly disappeared from his body.
But the residual feeling of heavy pressure still caused Yayoi's muscles to tremble and ache with sluggishness, and his bones were creaking, as if they might fall apart at any time.
"It failed... not only the body, but also the control was seriously lacking. It only collapsed after less than one-third of the injection..."
Yayoi wiped the blood from his mouth, and the internal injuries in his body quickly recovered due to his self-healing ability, and a sense of relief spread throughout his body.
This result can be said to be within Yayoi's expectations.
Different from the Wind Release and spiral Shuriken held by Naruto Uzumaki, he directly wears the spiral Shuriken on his body...
The difficulty and danger involved can be imagined.
He didn't expect a one-time success, but he didn't expect that it would be defeated so neatly.
According to his idea, it should be injected to one-half before it collapses. As a result, the body cannot support it at less than one-third.
This is no longer a question of whether it can be completed, but it is an unbearable huge risk to even try.
"It seems we have to find another way. Let's try this."
Yayoi was not discouraged and quickly changed his mind and stopped fighting.
Instead, we use other methods to gradually open the door to Chakra Armament Mode's property changes.
So, Yayoi stretched out his right hand, and the solid blue Chakra airflow began to emerge in the palm of his hand, and quickly condensed into a perfect round ball.
Rasengan.
However, they are only similar in appearance, but the real situation is completely different from Rasengan.
Because the Chakra ball condensed by Yayoi will not rotate at all. It will stay still for the same time as it was stopped in the palm of the hand.
At the beginning, Yayoi really wanted to come up with Rasengan, but after researching for a long time, Rasengan was not fully presented.
He had obviously gone through the training with balloons and rubber balls, but as soon as his Rasengan reached the final stage of forming, it suddenly exploded and made himself very embarrassed. It seemed that many key steps were missing.
Even the imitation of Tailed Beast Cloak was based on his own understanding. It took several years to figure out Chakra Armament Mode that suited him.
If he continues to fight Rasengan, he will definitely be able to get it out in the end, but there is no way to estimate how long it will take.
As a last resort, he could only create a Chakra ball similar to Rasengan.
Since rotation is difficult, wouldn't it be enough to just stop Chakra from rotating?
Inject changes in properties into the non-rotating Chakra ball, throw it like a cannonball... Although the power is indeed reduced, the stability is higher.
Sure enough, after Yayoi was injected with changes in soil properties, the Chakra ball, which has an infinitely more stable structure than Rasengan, was instantly dyed with a dark gold color.
It neither exploded nor put any burden on the body, but it was much heavier than a simple Chakra ball.
With this weight, Yayoi can be lifted easily.
Therefore, after being slightly surprised, Yayoi regained his composure, then grabbed the dark gold-colored Chakra ball and slammed it toward the ground.
Bang!
The ground cracked.
However, the destructive power was seriously insufficient, and it could only barely create a small crater less than one meter in diameter.
"This feeling... is like holding a solid iron ball."
Yayoi picked up the dark gold Chakra ball again. Due to its excellent stability and his Active Chakra, this Chakra ball can be maintained for a long time and will not disappear quickly after one attack.
"Since it has this characteristic..."
Yayoi was not disappointed with the attack power of the dark gold chakra ball. On the contrary, this kind of ninjutsu, which has an extremely stable structure and can maintain its form for a long time, might be able to derive powerful moves that are different from conventional attacks.
Even in his opinion, this may be his genuine 'Rasengan'!
For example...
"If Seven-Star Seal is engraved on this ball, and then the Chakra ball is expanded to become bigger..."
Yayoi launched a preliminary association.
Imagine, if the Chakra ball can expand to be larger than a house, and combined with the Sealing Jutsu engraved on it, not only can the super mass of the Chakra ball be used to physically suppress the enemy's actions, but the target's Chakra can also be suppressed. Isn't this equivalent to a physical Sealing Jutsu?
If he can successfully complete this move, he might be able to suppress Tailed Beasts on his own without borrowing Irori's Ice Release ability in the future.
After all, it is very difficult to suppress Tailed Beasts simply by Seven-Star Seal, and the suppression effect cannot be maintained for a long time. It needs to be combined with other means.
With the idea in mind, Yayoi wanted to practice the feasibility of this trick.
The training objects happen to be ready-made.
Just when Yayoi was about to engrave Seven-Star Seal on the dark gold Chakra ball, a message suddenly came to his mind.
'What's the matter? Well, okay, I understand.'
Yayoi dusted himself off and did not continue training.
Just now Irori conveyed a message to him that there was something important and he needed to make a decision as soon as possible.
He can have real-time psychic conversations with Irori and Yaya within a distance of no more than five kilometers.
Once there is something important that needs to be communicated, Irori and Yaya will report to him in this way.
"Yaya, let's go, Irori has something to deal with there."
Arriving outside the training ground, Yayoi greeted Yaya and hurried towards Tenshu Tower.
Yaya did not hesitate, knowing that it was not time to stick to Yayoi, and quickly followed Yayoi's footsteps.
Arriving at Tenshu Tower, as Yayoi expected, Yuroketsu, the Intelligence Division minister, is also here.
The important things Irori said were obviously Intelligence Division from Yuroketsu, and they got some important information.
"What happened?"
Yayoi is sitting on the chair behind the desk. Irori and Yaya are like two door gods, one on the left and one on the right, standing behind Yayoi.
The look in Yayoi's eyes when he saw Yuroketsu was much more serious than when he reported the information about Land of Bears's 'star', so he went straight to the point.
"There is a problem with Shima. Half a day ago, he used bugs to send a request for help to the intelligence base of Land of Fields."
With that said, Yuroketsu handed over the intelligence documents and asked Yayoi to make a decision.
After listening to Yayoi, I understand why Yuroketsu is so serious.
Aburame Shima, he is the eldest son of Yuroketsu.
At nearly twenty years old, he can master many insects. He is a genius Jonin whose qualifications are not inferior to his father Yuroketsu.
At the same time, he also held an important position in Intelligence Division. Due to his excellent combat effectiveness and intelligence collection capabilities, Yayoi asked him to go to Land of Fields to manage the intelligence station there and transmit all the intelligence of Land of Fields to Land of Night in real time.
Yayoi also knows that time waits for no one, so he browsed the information as quickly as possible, and then frowned.
According to intelligence, more than half a month ago, in a mountain forest in Land of Fields, someone saw the back of a huge creature in the dark night, suspected to be Tailed Beasts.
In addition, there are a large number of unidentified ninjas who began to operate in Land of Fields for unknown purposes.
Because this group of ninjas was large in number, at least two hundred or more, and their whereabouts were very suspicious, Aburame Shima, as the captain of the Intelligence Division team there, decided to personally investigate the true identity of this group of ninjas.
As a result, his whereabouts were accidentally discovered and he was hunted. After leading the enemy to a canyon, he managed to escape by using the complicated terrain and Insect Secret Technique.
What's worse is that he was seriously injured at this time, and he didn't know if there were enemies squatting outside, so he could only hide in the canyon and didn't dare to act at will.
The information conveyed by Aburame Shima also emphasized that many of these ninjas are powerful masters who are proficient in Lightning Release.
"Giant creature...Tailed Beasts..."
Yayoi's mind moved, and he quietly became interested in the back of the huge creature in the information.
Land of Fields, Yayoi are no strangers to this country.
This is a small country in the east located adjacent to Land of Night. In the original work, Sound Village, one of Sannin's, Orochimaru, is established in this country.
Its territory is considerable for a small country. Although there is no ninja village in the country at this time, there are a number of private armed groups under Land of Fields Daimyo to stabilize its rule.
The domestic situation is not stable, but there is not much trouble, and we can barely gain a foothold in this era.
In fact, in the past period of time, Yayoi has considered capturing this small country and bringing it into the rule of Land of Night.
It was just that it was a little too late in time, and Konoha was about to be established at that time. Yayoi did not want to cause trouble, so it interrupted the military operation against Land of Fields.
However, Yayoi has been paying close attention to Land of Fields's situation. He even let Aburame Clan's elites take charge of the intelligence base there to lay a solid foundation for annexing the country in the future.
"General, do you need me to go and investigate in person?"
Yuroketsu volunteered.
The information sent back by Aburame Shima is relatively simple, but the fewer the words, the greater the seriousness of the matter.
There is a suspected dangerous existence of Tailed Beasts, and there are also a large number of unidentified ninjas who are proficient in Lightning Release... This is no longer the highest level mission that ordinary ninjas can engage in.
If you want to know more about the situation, you can only send a strong enough ninja to conduct a secondary investigation.
"Don't worry, Yuroketsu, you have also read the information, Zhimo's life is not in danger now."
Yayoi first comforted Yuroketsu, knowing that he was a little worried about his son's safety. After all, he was not only his son, but also Aburame Clan's most outstanding genius, the appointed next patriarch.
"Irori, go and contact Uchiha Hokuto. After completing the employment task assigned to him two days ago, I remember that he hasn't left Nightview City yet."
"Yes, Master Yayoi."
Irori nodded, walked out quickly, and contacted Uchiha Hokuto, who had had many cooperations with Land of Night.
In less than five minutes, Irori arrived with Uchiha Hokuto, Uchiha Meirou and Uchiha Izayoi.
"I won't say any more nonsense. I need you to cooperate with our people and go to Land of Fields to perform some tasks."
Yayoi quickly explained the situation, and then issued the employment task to the three Uchiha Hokuto.
There is no way, Kakuzu and Kurobei both have important jobs and cannot escape.
As a general, he also needs to be at the center.
Before confirming the authenticity of Tailed Beasts, he could not hastily go to Land of Fields because of some rumors that were not true or false.
"Don't worry, General, we will handle this mission well and make sure there are no mistakes!"
Before Hokuto spoke, Izayoi couldn't wait to agree, fearing that Yayoi would regret it.
She didn't want to go on another boring archaeological treasure hunt mission.
This kind of job of killing people and fighting is what she likes the most.
So much so that when she looked at Yayoi, she was very satisfied.
"Okay, let's go now."
Hokuto also did not refuse. Although they had just returned from archaeological work a few days ago, the archaeological work was not tiring and their energy was at its peak.
Moreover, knowing that the matter was urgent, he quickly agreed.
After receiving part of the deposit, Hokuto took Meirou and Izayoi, followed Yuroketsu out, and set off towards Land of Fields.
(At first, I planned to make Rasengan and copy the original work, but after thinking about it, I decided to reset the protagonist's Ninjutsu system. There is no need to make all kinds of balls like most fans)
