" Wrathful King "
Countless energy punches continuously bombarded the Flame Formation.
BOOM BOOM BOOM...!!
The Uchiha Flame Formation ranks among the top in defensive power among all Barrier Ninjutsu, so it is naturally not easy to break through.
"Trying to drain my Chakra? Cough cough..."
Itachi immediately realized his opponent's intention: to drag him into a protracted battle, where his disadvantage would only continue to widen.
Faced with such an intense attack, stopping would be suicide; the only option was to continuously output Chakra to maintain the formation.
Aoki Tsuki was also very anxious. As his Chakra was depleted, he felt his condition declining and a deep sense of mental exhaustion washed over him.
I've been working for three days and three nights straight, and I look like I could fall asleep standing up at any moment, but I can only grit my teeth and keep going.
Sensing that Zetsu and Obito were hiding nearby, he needed to conserve his Chakra to prevent the two from causing trouble.
"Wait, Flame Formation? Let's try that."
Aoki Tsuki quickly changed his strategy, put away the Thousand-Armed Kannon, formed hand Hand Seals, and created a water dragon to violently strike the Flame Formation.
Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
boom...
The water was evaporated by the high-temperature flames attached to the Flame Formation, producing a large amount of white mist, which caused the Chakra consumption to increase exponentially in order to maintain the array.
"Using the method of elemental counteraction?"
Itachi immediately withdrew the Flame Formation and jumped away from the spot to avoid the impact of the water flow. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a line of water pass by his body.
puff!
Quack... Quack... Quack
Itachi's body was cut in two, turning into a sky full of crows that scattered and flew around. Then, a huge Three-Tomoe Sharingan suddenly enlarged in the white mist.
Then it was launched out, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a combination of three highly compressed energy particles.
" Yasaka Magatama "
Susanoo's standard Ninjutsu, Madara can even throw 14 orbs in a row, pure energy bombs.
"Follow my trick..."
Aoki Tsuki spread his right hand, each fingertip releasing a ball of Chakra, and gently pressed it onto the ground. The five colors of Chakra outlined a five-pointed star pattern.
At each apex, a stone pagoda rises, supporting a hemispherical, golden barrier.
" Summoning Technique - Vajra Realm"
Rumble!!
The high-speed spinning three- Tomoe slammed violently into the barrier, causing three consecutive explosive impacts.
Click... click...
Three of the five pagodas shattered on the spot, and the remaining two were also on the verge of collapse, but fortunately they withstood the attack.
"It seems this is the limit of the defensive capabilities of this technique."
Quack... Quack... Quack
The crows that had appeared around Uchiha Itachi hadn't dispersed since they appeared; they kept circling.
"Crow?"
Aoki Tsuki's alarm bells went off immediately. He slowly raised his left hand, preparing to take the crows away in one go, but at that moment he unexpectedly sensed someone approaching.
"The feeling of this Chakra is..."
Looking up at the sky, a large white bird slowly flew in from a distance, and two people jumped down from it.
"Senior Yue, long time no see, Itachi? Hmph..." Deidara hated Itachi from the bottom of his heart and couldn't even be bothered to greet him.
"Hey, what's going on with you two?!"
Sasori's gaze swept back and forth between Aoki Tsuki and Itachi. He used to dislike Orochimaru, but as a colleague, he had restrained himself.
Even if action is taken, it should be stopped within reasonable limits.
I thought everyone was about the same level, but I didn't expect them to be so fierce in private. Was he too conservative before?
"I received intelligence that Orochimaru was hiding nearby, so I came here specifically to check. Itachi had the same purpose; they were just sparring together out of boredom."
"What a coincidence? You also received information about Orochimaru."
When did Orochimaru become so appealing? Sasori couldn't understand it; so many people were eyeing his old partner.
Itachi nodded slightly to Sasori and Deidara, took a breath, and then staggered away.
As a skill-based fighter, he's definitely no match for him in a Chakra battle.
When he failed to defeat his opponent with Tsukuyomi, he realized that his operation had failed. Fortunately, he had made an excuse beforehand.
"Brother Sasori, Deidara, now that you're here, I'll be leaving. That damned Orochimaru, we must catch him."
Aoki Tsuki greeted him, but without waiting for a reply, he turned and left in a hurry. He was too tired and needed to find a place to rest as soon as possible.
A gentle breeze blew by, and Sasori and Deidara looked at each other.
"Grandpa, do these two have a grudge?"
"Hehe... who knows, we're not really friends anyway."
Aoki Tsuki is a very opportunistic person. The last time he called him "Brother Sasori" was because of his battle with Shisui Uchiha.
Uchiha Itachi might be here for revenge.
"Let's go, Orochimaru is hiding nearby, we must take him down this time."
"Hi!"
The two quickly discovered Orochimaru's base in a gravel area, and a battle ensued, with Orochimaru using the ' Impure World Reincarnation ' technique for the first time.
"What is this?" Sasori was taken aback; he was still a little scared when he saw the Third Kazekage.
Orochimaru replied, "I have a hobby: I like to collect anything good I see. Today, let's see who's stronger, your Puppet Technique or my forbidden Impure World Reincarnation Kinjutsu."
"Scorpion, you bastard, how dare you..." The Third Kazekage went berserk the moment he saw Scorpion.
"Hmph, don't underestimate my art."
Sasori used the Third Kazekage puppet to fight Impure World Reincarnation Third Kazekage. In the end, the Reanimated Body, unwilling to become Orochimaru's puppet, broke free of its restraints with its own will.
"Oh dear... it seems this technique still needs some refinement." Orochimaru sighed, then turned and disappeared into the base behind him, not wanting to linger in the fight.
Deidara immediately created a bunch of small spider bombs and tracked them inside.
" Art is an Explosion, drink!"
Boom boom boom...
Blow up the snake's nest.
Meanwhile, after leaving, Aoki Tsuki prepared to return to the Land of Rain. He dared not relax his guard the entire way, and the Uzumaki rune in his palm was in a state of charging.
Itachi and Tobi are neither simpletons; they've probably reached a tacit agreement to use each other and engage in a war of attrition with him.
I don't believe Tobi would let such a good opportunity pass by without taking action.
Sure enough, just as he was about to cross the border, a figure appeared in front of him—it was Masked Tobi.
You seem to be in a hurry?
"Go back and have dinner. If you're here to cause trouble too, then hurry up, you're in a rush."
"Hmph, you probably won't be getting dinner this time."
"You?"
"I know everything about you, and you don't have much Chakra left, do you?"
Tobi may seem to have everything under control, but in reality, he is very cautious and far less relaxed than he appears.
"Bring it on."
Aoki Tsuki was too lazy to say anything more; no matter what he said, the other party would definitely take action.
Tobi squinted at Aoki Tsuki for a long time. His Sharingan could see through the approximate amount of Chakra in his opponent's body, so there was no reason to hesitate.
He leaped into the air, pushing forward with both hands, unleashing the " Wood Release: Wood Cutting Sprigs "
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
The wooden spikes rained down densely, testing the opponent's Chakra reserves through a large-scale attack.
Constantly avoiding conflict is proof of weakness.
Aoki Tsuki chose to face the attack head-on, his body glowing with lightning rings that seemed to gather energy from his legs to his chest.
thunderbolt!
The lightning serpent, as thick as an arm, coiled and twisted, shattering the surrounding wooden spikes as it constricted, and then pounced on the enemy.
This attack was destined to be futile; the ethereal Tobi remained unharmed despite being entangled by the Lightning Snake.
"I told you, I know all your intelligence."
Aoki Tsuki looked down and saw clusters of vine-like plants sprouting from the ground around him. As they grew wildly, they spiraled together around him, branching out and shooting out in all directions, baring their fangs and claws.
" Hell's Rebellion "
This attack has a wider range, and the scene of slaughtering enemies is as gruesome as hell.
After dodging two waves of strangling vines, Aoki Tsuki stretched out her left hand. "Hmph, you have hell, I have peaches!"
Compared to the Uzumaki -shaped release of the right hand, the design of the left hand releases all the power accumulated in the spell in a very short time.
A surge of natural power erupted, forming a white halo, which then began to explode from its center.
The attack utilizes shockwaves to spread damage over a wide area.
Rumble...
The hellish forest, constructed of intertwined vines, was mercilessly torn apart by the shockwave, and the sparse shrubs around it were once again reduced to a desolate wasteland.
After the smoke cleared, Tobi reappeared, his eyes filled with solemnity.
"What kind of technique does this guy have now?"
If it weren't for the different presentation, he would have almost mistaken it for Pain's ' Shinra Tensei '.
"Your Wood Release is quite interesting, Tobi. Do you have any stronger moves? But at this level, I'm afraid you won't be able to get promoted from intern to full-time."
Despite his defiant words, Aoki Tsuki was already activating a new round of energy reserves with his left hand.
Sharingan Natural Energy, he is not afraid that the other party will discover his secret.
This person is like a persistent leech, always watching him, putting pressure on him while simultaneously forcing him to constantly revise his strategies.
We firmly believe that as long as the speed of iteration exceeds the speed of exposure, we can always maintain an advantage.
"You don't need to worry about that."
How could Tobi not understand that this was an implication that Xiao was going to pick a fight with him and deliberately go against him?
His opponent's hair was dangerous; it had caused him great harm in the past, and he dared not approach it lightly to absorb it.
The two stood facing each other, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Aoki Tsuki forced himself to stay alert. He was desperate, but he couldn't take the initiative to attack. If he revealed his weakness, Tobi could wear him down to death.
At a certain moment, lightning suddenly lit up his hand, and he plunged the spear into the ground.
"Ah!!" A scream came from underground.
puff...
A vine burst from the ground and attacked Aoki Tsuki, interrupting his attack.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Taking advantage of the situation, Tobi unleashed a weapon hidden in the Kamui Dimension to launch a sneak attack from the side, forcing Aoki Tsuki to dodge.
Black and White Zetsu and Tobi- Fei worked together to catch Aoki Tsuki off guard, but fortunately they were on guard at all times. If the spores had parasitized him and drained his last Chakra...
That would be the end of it all.
"Haha... let me guess who was wailing just now," Aoki Tsuki said with a laugh.
"Hmph, I'll let you off this time. Remember, don't get in my way again."
Obito realized his scheme had been exposed, he simply chose to retreat, not forgetting to utter some harsh words before leaving.
Aoki Tsuki didn't care at all. He could handle either Obito or Itachi one-on-one. The only thing Itachi could make him wary of was Kotoamatsukami.
Izanami was useless to him; he hadn't gone astray. On the contrary, he firmly believed that he was on the right path.
'What I fear most is that these two old silver coins will join forces.'
Only after entering the Land of Rain did they breathe a sigh of relief and find a cave to fall into a deep sleep.
I woke up three days later, hungry.
My head was still throbbing and I felt dizzy. I took a few pills to relieve the pain and stared blankly at the light rain outside.
Inside the cave, a spider lies in wait on its web, awaiting its prey.
This reminded him that many remarkable people were inspired by watching spiders weave their webs, so he stared at them for a while.
Sure enough, he understood.
Breathing techniques increase the contact density between oxygen in the lungs and blood, thereby controlling the metabolic efficiency of cells through the oxygen supply of the whole body's blood system.
It indirectly affects Chakra through life energy, and Chakra travels through the meridian system.
That is, the blood system and the meridian system are two separate systems.
So here's the question...
"Which system should mental energy follow? The meridian system or... the nervous system?"
It's highly likely that it's the nervous system, which controls the muscles throughout the body to issue commands—a function that every normal person possesses.
When an ordinary person does not concentrate Chakra, their meridian system is in a standby state.
Aoki Tsuki had seen anatomical diagrams of the human nervous system before; they were densely packed and unimaginable, comparable to a small universe.
This allows for precise control over every muscle, something that the simple meridian system simply cannot compare to.
"Perhaps I should consider intervening at the cellular level through the nervous system. If I can achieve even one ten-thousandth, no... one in a trillion, I will be the strongest immortal on this planet."
Thinking about this, Aoki Tsuki became even more eager to learn about Jūgo's abilities.
"Where should we start upgrading? Hmm... let's start with the hammer."
He couldn't let Sister Mimoto down again and again; he had to rise up.
Therefore, the first step is to perform introspection.
This concept is unheard of in the ninja world. The Byakugan can easily see through objects, but it cannot see inside.
The most amazing thing about Chakra is that it can connect everything; this is the most fundamental rule of the ninja world.
The Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninshu with the fundamental purpose of connecting people through a kind of energy, serving as a bridge for communication and achieving mutual understanding.
Later, when Lao Liu ascended to heaven, nobody connected with others anymore; everyone was thinking about connecting with themselves.
This means connecting one's spiritual energy and life energy together to generate Chakra, and then manipulating the Chakra to fight through Hand Seals.
From then on Chakra became the weapon of ninjas.
This shows that its Chakra potential is enormous and truly amazing; combat is just one of its functions.
Its primary function is connectivity.
By connecting with Natural Energy, Senjutsu Chakra was born, also known as Sage Mode.
By connecting with spiritual energy, ninjas can use their willpower and Hand Seals to control the flow of Chakra within their bodies and perform Ninjutsu.
The advanced application of spiritual energy, creating material forms from nothing, is what constitutes Yin Release, and it is also a type of Chakra Nature Transformation.
In other words, you can only be considered to have mastered Yin Release if you dare to think about it and can actually do it.
In layman's terms: The bolder you are, the more you can produce; your abilities depend entirely on your imagination!
