My Style

Chapter 007: My Style X

Oguri Hayashi had previously been carrying out reconnaissance and sentry duty on the border of the Land of Wind. The Land of Wind happened to lie diagonally opposite the Land of Thunder, so if he wanted to reach the Land of Thunder, he had to cross the entirety of Konoha.

Konoha was the ninja village with the largest territory, and its domain was vast. Reaching the Land of Thunder was not something that could be done in a day or two.

Since he could barely be considered a rogue ninja, Oguri Hayashi did not even want to travel with ordinary merchants, much less encounter regular ninja.

Although he had once been a southerner, his sense of direction was fortunately decent. More importantly, his night-vision goggles had a compass, and surprisingly, this thing even had a map-recording function.

Like the map fog in a game, the map appeared in the lower-right corner of his field of vision. Routes he had traveled were outlined with lines, while unexplored areas remained black.

Clearly, this thing's recording function could upload data somewhere and share the maps he explored with the entire army. The enemies he discovered would probably be shared as well. There was no supercomputer here, however, so the other functions had been sealed off. Even with only this one function, this display was already remarkable.

But what delighted him most was not the display's extra abilities.

It was the notebook taken from that captain.

To be honest, that captain had already come infinitely close to being a Jonin, and he was one of the most troublesome kinds—a Taijutsu-focused Jonin. Based on his Taijutsu alone, becoming a Special Jonin would not have been a problem.

But Ling Chaozong had thrown him into confusion with chinese and easily tested their origins out of him. Since his mind had been unsettled, he could not bring out even one-tenth of his full strength, allowing Oguri Hayashi to take advantage of him and assassinate him directly.

Moreover, Oguri Hayashi had not used any hand-sign ninjutsu, relying directly on Taijutsu instead. The man had died in the field he was most proud of. He probably never imagined that a twelve-year-old transmigrated Chunin's Taijutsu could be this powerful. The combination of the Body Flicker Technique and Taijutsu had let Oguri Hayashi drive a blade into his heart from behind in the instant he relaxed.

Then came the spoils of victory.

[My Style Secret Technique]

At first, he could not remember which school My Style belonged to.

But when he opened the notebook while traveling, he was immediately awestruck.

He quickly remembered who My Style belonged to and what school it came from.

The training records of Hayato Furinji, the strongest man in History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, known as the "Invincible Superman."

These people were undoubtedly all exceptional individuals. Their reactions had demonstrated as much. Without undergoing any ninja training, they had relied on their outstanding combat qualities to handle two rounds of attacks. It was only because Oguri Hayashi knew their intelligence that well; otherwise, the true outcome would have been difficult to predict. Ordinary ninja would lose one or two men the moment they faced a G36. After that, against the bizarre Harry Potter magic and the martial arts of History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi, it was hard to say how many exchanges ordinary Genin and Chunin could endure.

But after wiping out two reconnaissance teams led by Chunin, they had grown careless and complacent. That gave Oguri Hayashi an opportunity.

All of this now belonged to Oguri Hayashi.

Oguri Hayashi did not activate the Omni-directional Mobility Gear for travel. He had never received proper training in using it and had no idea how much gas it still contained. He was even afraid the display on his head would run out of power, so he would often walk for an entire day before turning it on briefly to adjust his direction.

As magical equipment for surprise attacks, there was no need to wear the Invisibility Cloak at all times. Doing so would only expose a flaw—or rather, show the item to anyone paying attention. Sooner or later, someone would spot the weakness. This world even had unreasonable things like Impure World Reincarnation, the Reaper Death Seal, Crystal Ball Scrying, and Summoning Jutsu. How could Oguri Hayashi dare wear the cloak at all times and invite others' covetousness?

When it was not being worn, the Invisibility Cloak simply looked like an ordinary cloak. It was utterly plain, and no one could see anything suspicious about it.

Reading [My Style Secret Technique] while traveling left him, someone who had always been advancing down the path of a Nintaijutsu ninja, utterly astonished and enlightened.

Because they had no ninjutsu, they could instead focus more wholeheartedly on developing Taijutsu, which made their Taijutsu exceptionally powerful. Just how powerful was it?

Masters capable of freely controlling their qi could run across water through their physical abilities alone.

They could even see bullets clearly and block them with armored gauntlets. Those even stronger, such as Hayato Furinji, could release energy waves barehanded.

Of course, they still could not compare to the top-tier fighters of the Naruto world. Might Guy with all Eight Gates opened possessed strength that transcended dimensions. But their martial arts were simply perfect for laying a foundation!

Perhaps because Ling Chaozong's own level was still relatively low, the [My Style Secret Technique] he had been given clearly recorded basic martial arts training methods.

The most important part was a method for transforming one's muscles.

Red muscle fibers had weaker explosive power but excellent endurance, while white muscle fibers had outstanding explosive power but could only burst forth for a brief instant.

What My Style emphasized first was tempering every muscle in the body into pink muscle fibers with tremendous explosive power and lasting endurance.

Humans possessed only a small amount of pink muscle, but it could be changed through training. My Style Secret Technique recorded precisely such a method.

Honestly, this method was practically self-torture. But after comparing it with Rock Lee and Might Guy's training, Oguri Hayashi began training and tormenting himself without hesitation as he traveled. Compared to Rock Lee's training methods, the self-torture methods recorded in [My Style Secret Technique] actually had more "scientific basis"!

Truly, it was far too difficult for a person to maintain such self-discipline in training. Achieving that level of resolve alone was difficult. Which of the disciples in History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi had not begun training under the coercion of their masters? Those who genuinely relied on self-discipline...

There was one in the Naruto world!

Oguri Hayashi was familiar with the Naruto world's plot, and with the Reincarnation Squad sent by the Infinite Hall, he had ample motivation and discipline to train himself and become stronger.

Because of his training, it took him a full month and a half to travel from the Land of Wind's border to the Land of Thunder's border. Along the way, he crossed the Land of Rivers, the Land of Hot Water, and the Land of Mist.

Each of these countries had its own ninja village. Fortunately, with the Invisibility Cloak and without directly confronting anyone, Oguri Hayashi made it through without incident and finally arrived at the foot of the Land of Thunder's mountains.

That was right, at the foot of the mountains.

The Land of Thunder lay amid mountains year-round, with an average elevation comparable to Tibet in China. Any invader seeking to enter the Land of Thunder had to face these cliffs, altitude sickness, and the Lightning Release Taijutsu of the Cloud Ninja.

It could be said that the Land of Thunder's defenses had been invincible from the very beginning!
