For Shinsei, the Light-Weight Rock Technique is more than just the ability to fly.
This technique can reduce the weight of objects; Ōnoki could even use it to lift an island. It can also reduce his own weight, making him faster.
In the original story, during the Fourth Shinobi World War, Ōnoki used this technique to successfully help the Raikage break through the limitations of his physical speed.
With the Storm Release Armor and Sage Mode combined, Shinsei has now pushed his physical speed to its absolute limit.
Aside from the Flying Thunder God, which allows him to ignore distance, Shinsei is unmatched in the Shinobi World when it comes to speed. Even Madara Uchiha, in his current state, cannot match Shinsei's physical speed.
But that's far from enough. The Six Paths Level is all-around powerful; whether it's strength, speed, or the power of Ninjutsu, it represents a qualitative leap compared to ordinary ninjas.
If Shinsei mastered the Added-Weight Rock Technique and reduced his own weight, his speed would increase significantly. At least in terms of speed, he would be close to or have reached the Six Paths Level.
Shinsei tossed the stone in his hand, then continued using Earth Release, attaching gravity-based Chakra to it.
Feeling the stone was slightly lighter than before, now that he had a feel for it, the next step was to familiarize himself with this power and enhance his understanding of its gravitational properties. The path to mastering Ninjutsu was long and arduous!
Shinsei sat cross-legged back on the bed and began to replace sleep with meditation. The surging energy in his body began to flow down from his dantian, circulating along the Ren and Du meridians. Gradually, he forgot about time and his troubles.
When Shinsei opened his eyes again, sunlight was already streaming into the room through the window. He washed his face and brushed his teeth; his mother had already prepared breakfast.
Just after finishing his meal, Shinsei stepped out of his room and saw a boy in a blue short-sleeved shirt standing on the rooftop opposite. The boy waved to him, Sasuke Uchiha jumped down, landing in front of Shinsei.
Why are you looking for me so early?
"I'm going to find him." Sasuke said seemingly casually, but his fists were already clenched tightly.
"Doesn't your Cursed Seal still need to store power?"
"That's about enough."
"Okay." Shinsei didn't mind; any time was fine with him.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Uchiha Itachi will likely hold back. Therefore, a slight difference in the power of the Cursed Seal Cursed Seal will not make a significant difference.
The two walked to Tsunade's office and explained the situation to Tsunade.
Tsunade rested her chin on her hands, frowning. As Hokage, she knew that Uchiha Itachi was a spy planted by the Third Hokage within Akatsuki. She glanced at her eldest disciple, Shinsei, and seeing that he had no objections, she pretended the matter didn't exist.
Regardless of the circumstances, Uchiha Itachi did indeed massacre his entire clan, Uchiha Sasuke's desire for revenge is understandable. Tsunade ultimately couldn't say anything more, only instructing the two, "Be careful on your journey."
The two changed their clothes and appearances, and left Konoha. Now that Danzo had defected, their whereabouts were much safer than before.
Tall trees rushed past them. They ran on and on until they saw an abandoned building, where they finally stopped.
This was once one of the Uchiha Clan's strongholds and a place where they held secret meetings.
"Long time no see, Mr. Kisame," Shinsei said to a broken wall.
"It's Shinsei. I didn't expect that you'd already made such a name for yourself in the Shinobi World after just a few months."
A tall figure in a red robe and black cloud emerged from the broken wall, carrying a giant sword wrapped in gauze. Kisame sighed; the boy he had met in Konoha had now grown into an important force in the Shinobi World that could not be ignored.
"Mr. Kisame, you're too kind. We've arrived. Where is Uchiha Itachi?"
Kisame, with his Kisame face, had a somewhat terrifying laugh. He pointed to a dark cave entrance beside him. "Itachi is already waiting there. We've been waiting for two days; if you don't come soon, we'll have to leave."
Sasuke dodged and rushed into the cave. Shinsei quickly followed, but Kisame blocked him with Samehada.
" Shinsei- chan, you can't go in."
" Kisame- san, are you so confident you can stop me?"
"I've heard that Shinsei- kun started with Water Release and is a renowned Water Release master in the Shinobi World. Since I also come from Village Hidden in the Mist, I'd like to ask Shinsei- kun to instruct us on the Water Release Ninjutsu of Kirigakure in the Land of Water."
His words piqued Shinsei's interest, and he became less interested in watching the duel between Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha, since he already knew the outcome.
"I've also heard that Kisame is famous for his Water Release. I would be extremely grateful if you could teach me even a move."
Perhaps Kisame sensed Samehada's emotions, Samehada kept wriggling its body, trying to break free from the gauze bindings.
Kisame lowered Samehada from his shoulder and slowly removed the gauze from its body, revealing a large sword shaped like a strange fish covered in sharp spikes. Samehada opened its mouth wide, flicked its tongue, and shook its head at Shinsei. Shinsei seemed to sense Samehada's friendly attitude towards him.
"Mr. Kisame, it seems you're interested in my weapon. How about I play with it for a while before returning it to you?"
"Hahaha, Shinsei- kun's joke isn't very funny. Samehada falls into your hands, can you ever get it back?"
Shinsei nodded seriously. "Mr. Kisame, I always keep my word. You must trust my character; I would never embezzle your weapon."
" Shinsei- chan, you're quite amusing, but I'm still a little uneasy." Kisame patted Samehada's long hilt, Samehada then wrapped around Kisame's wrist, seemingly trying to ingratiate itself.
Under the overcast sky, a light drizzle began to fall. The two faced each other, neither making the first move. Shinsei wasn't afraid; rather, the main characters this time weren't him, but rather Uchiha Itachi and Sasuke Uchiha inside.
" Kisame- san, would you be willing to step aside? I won't interfere in their duel."
Upon hearing this, Kisame held Samehada across his chest and said, "Although I really don't want to, since Shinsei- kun insists on going down, I have no choice but to learn from him."
"It should have been done long ago. Mr. Kisame, watch out."
Shinsei decided to finish the battle quickly, and the purple lotus mark he wished for quietly bloomed, with Senjutsu Chakra surging into every part of his body.
His skin emitted a silvery-white light, and since he began cultivating Sage Mode, this white radiance has become increasingly prominent, almost becoming a hallmark of his Sage Mode.
Senjutsu Chakra was rapidly converted into Storm Release, and the body's cells became unusually active in an instant.
Shinsei pushed off with his feet, his body transforming into a white streak of light as he swiftly swung his fist at Kisame.
