Sole Chakra

The three of them fell silent at the same time.

Compared to cleaning up manure, pulling weeds suddenly did not seem so unacceptable.

Fang Xu continued, "When ninjas carry out missions, they cannot always stay in comfortable environments."

"Rainforests, swamps, deserts, sewage, corpses—you might encounter anything."

"If you cannot even adapt to the dirt and weeds in a field, then once you enter a real battlefield, you will only die faster."

The resistance on Uzuki Yugao's face gradually faded.

Shizune Kato closed the mission scroll.

Kurenai Yuhi was the first to step into the field.

"I accept."

The other two followed her in.

Just as they bent down to pull the weeds with their bare hands, Fang Xu spoke to stop them.

"Stop."

The three women turned back at once.

Fang Xu walked into the field.

Chakra swiftly gathered beneath his feet.

He took a step forward.

No dirt splashed beneath his foot.

Yet dozens of weeds seemed to be lifted by an invisible force, their roots pulled free from the ground along with them.

Uzuki Yugao crouched down and picked up one of the weeds.

Its roots were completely intact.

Yet the surrounding crops had not suffered the slightest damage.

"Only using Sole Chakra?"

"That's right."

Fang Xu took several more steps forward.

With every step he took, chakra precisely seeped into the soil.

Large patches of weeds came free from the ground one after another.

"If the force is too strong, it will damage the crops."

"If the force is too weak, the roots will remain in the soil."

"You need to constantly adjust your chakra output."

Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune Kato quickly understood.

This was not ordinary farm work at all.

Pulling every weed was an exercise in chakra control.

Fang Xu then looked at Uzuki Yugao.
