It's worth mentioning that, in addition to the Lord of the Land of Fire, the Lord of the Land of Wind will also be coming to watch the match!

In order to ensure that nobles from other countries could arrive smoothly to watch the competition, the third round of matches was scheduled for two weeks later!

That is, June 15th!

Therefore, in the next fourteen Tenten, the participants can relax for a while, or they can use this time to make final preparations.

Don't be fooled by the fact that fourteen days may not seem like a long time.

However, in the eyes of certain groups, this amount of time is enough for them to achieve a significant improvement in a particular area!

Aren't Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto in the original work just like that?

Putting aside everything else, the ability of Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate and activate cells is enough to bring about a qualitative change in Uchiha Sasuke!

To paraphrase Rock Lee Li, the Taijutsu that took him so long to master, Uchiha Sasuke was able to replicate in less than a month.

This is the difference that talent brings.

Uchiha Sasuke and Naruto in the Chunin Ninja Exams already had strength approaching that of Jonin. In the subsequent Battle of the Valley of the End, the two of them, using the Cursed Seal and the Nine-Tails Chakra, were capable of defeating or even killing most Jonin!

And counting from when they graduated from the Ninja Academy to when they reached the Valley of the End, only a few months had passed!?

This is the best example of how true genius cannot be measured by common sense!

Not to mention, these two are simply overpowered!

Qi certainly couldn't, and had no way of, compare himself to these two, but the past two weeks had indeed been enough time for him to make some special preparations.

Especially after that battle against the Root members sent by Danzo, there was no progress or improvement in terms of strength, but in terms of combat experience and skills, Kei still gained a deeper understanding.

Therefore, Qi plans to find a place to conduct some personal cultivation tests.

After reporting to my teacher, Ms. Qing.

On the morning of the second day, Qi casually walked out of the inn where his ninja village was staying and went to a Konoha Ninja on the outer edge who was actually there to monitor him. He asked where would be a suitable place to train Ninjutsu. After receiving the answer...

Qi then headed straight towards the location of the Training Ground One that was open to the public.

Their journey was unimpeded; not a single Konoha Ninja came to question or obstruct them, including the Uchiha Clan's Konoha Military Police Force. As mentioned before, Konoha would certainly be wary of and monitor these ninjas from other villages.

However, they were still given ample freedom in the most basic actions.

A great power should still maintain its demeanor!

"It really is a suitable area for Ninjutsu training; it's just so spacious and empty..."

When Qi arrived at the Training Ground One in Konohagakure and looked at the vast plain before him, he blurted out something without thinking.

"Well, let's try the previous plan first..."

Qi took a deep breath, uttered these last words to himself, and then immediately immersed himself in his chosen cultivation practice.

For most people, a single and monotonous training method is difficult to persist in for a long time. Ninja training is such a thing. In fact, it should be said that for the vast majority of ninjas, it is difficult to maintain a steadfast belief in training year after year!

This is why, throughout the history of ninjas, there have been so many individuals with distinct strengths and weaknesses. This is not only due to differences in talent, but also to differences in the degree of personal effort!

Talent determines your ceiling, but hard work determines whether you can reach it!

In theory, for any human who can refine Chakra and become a ninja, as long as they work hard enough!

Even if limited by talent, he could never become Kage Level, or even reach the Jonin level.

But becoming a Chunin is still no problem at all!

Effort will definitely bring rewards; this is an undeniable truth, and tears and sweat will not lie! (Tianlai Novel Network)

As a ninja, you must remember this!

Qi never felt that having talent gave him the right to be complacent. Even setting aside the existence of people in this world with bloodlines and talents far surpassing his own, there were certainly quite a few peers of similar age to him, if not countless!

Not working hard means falling behind!

Kakashi from the original work is the best proof!

Kakashi chose to stagnate during what should have been a crucial period of rapid growth, which in itself is a form of regression!

Otherwise, given Kakashi's talent as a child, wouldn't it be a joke if he only grew into an Elite Jonin who Zabuza -toe with Zabuza during the prime of his ninja career, from age 12 to 26?

While he might not necessarily become a Kage Level shinobi like his father, the next generation's White Fang, renowned throughout the Shinobi World, he should at least be a near-Kage level figure capable of overpowering Zabuza, or at most killing this Kirigakure demon with Quasi-Kage, right?

Therefore, a ninja's life is like rowing against the current; if you don't move forward, you fall behind!

Qi didn't want to find himself in that situation. There's no need to say much more; the upcoming Third Shinobi World War wouldn't allow Qi any room for maneuver!

"Bang!"

"Boom!"

"Whoosh!"

"Swish"

The flashes of light and shadow on the training field were accompanied by swirling dust.

Qi's figure flashed continuously within them.

Drawing lessons from previous battles.

He needs to hone his Taijutsu skills, especially to further master how to suppress an opponent with one hand. After all, he can perform hand Hand Seals with one hand, and this is not limited to low-to-mid-level battles, but can also be applied to high-level battles at the Kage Level in the future.

This fighting style gives Qi a significant advantage in many situations!

"Phew, it's still a bit rough around the edges. Also, it would be better if it had some strength..."

During rest time.

Qi frowned, pondering the content of his cultivation just now.

Taijutsu.

To be honest...

Compared to Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, it is the least demanding in terms of talent and skill. Of course, this is relative; it doesn't mean that no talent is actually required.

Moreover, it should still be viewed from a general perspective.

If it's truly those extremely advanced Taijutsu, then it still depends on talent, just like Might Guy's Eight Gates Released Formation!

There's definitely no way that only Might Guy knows about this.
