In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed.
Uya has completely perfected the First Stage of the Lightning Release Secret Technique. To advance further, he needs to obtain the cultivation method for the Second Stage.
After mastering the First Stage, Uya's body will not emit obvious lightning; at most, only some tiny arcs of electricity will appear, barely noticeable unless you look closely.
Uya estimated that only by mastering the Second Stage would it be possible to create Lightning Cloak like the Fourth Raikage and Third Raikage.
Having reached the pinnacle of the First Stage, Uya's skin and some of his flesh and blood were significantly strengthened and amplified. His body gradually matured from its youthful state, and his skin tone took on a healthy bronze hue.
You should know that Uya is only about ten years old, but physically he looks like he is already fourteen or fifteen years old.
It's not just that people in the Hokage world are precocious; it's also due to their training in taijutsu (Taijutsu ).
The growth of his body greatly accelerated Uya's progress in cultivating the True Eight Gates Released Formation.
Originally, if Uya wanted to reach the level of opening the Fourth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation, he would need to continuously train his Taijutsu for nearly a year to reach the required level.
However, once you arrive at the battlefield of the Second Shinobi World War, there simply isn't much time left for training!
Just like now, Uya has very little time to teach Konan and Yahiko how to train, and he doesn't have much time to train himself either. He still has to go out constantly to hunt down ninjas and scouts from other ninja villages.
It's fair to say that on such a battlefield, it might take three to five years to cultivate to the point of opening the Fourth Gate.
However, the First Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique directly compressed this process.
Uya has been in the Land of Rain for several months now. The practice of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique has meant that Uya has been constantly training his Taijutsu for the past few months!
Uya estimated that if he could obtain the Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique, he might only need to cultivate half of it to reach the level of opening the Fourth Gate.
However, like the Kusanagi Sword, this is something that is very difficult to obtain in a short period of time.
After shaking his head, Uya felt that regardless of whether the remaining Kusanagi Sword were in Sunagakure, he had to target them on this battlefield. In any case, as long as the Kusanagi Sword got within a certain range of him, he would sense them.
If he cannot find it on the battlefield, then Uya will infiltrate Sunagakure during or after the war.
Besides, Uya will definitely go to Kumogakure. Since the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique has such a great boost, Uya is determined to get it.
"Call!"
Exhaling, Uya stood up, and the wisps of electricity on his body instantly disappeared.
Then, Uya walked out of the room, took a stroll, and checked on Konan Yahiko's training progress.
Because Konan and Yahiko were about the same age as him, their training speed was much faster than that of the children at the Ninja Academy.
In this world, it's not true that the younger you are, the better you can cultivate. Because Chakra is extracted from the body's cells, you actually need to reach a certain age before you can start cultivating.
Konan Yahiko are still at the prime age for training.
Therefore, their current Chakra levels are almost at the level of Genin, and Konan's original Paper Release Ninjutsu has finally been developed.
Having Ninjutsu basically means they possess the strength of Genin, making it difficult for ordinary people to pose a threat to them.
Uya nodded noncommittally, neither confirming nor denying her satisfaction.
Meanwhile, to Uya's dismay, he had been trying to find Uya 'Nagato whereabouts for some time, but without any success.
Nagato seems to have completely disappeared!
This puzzled Uya greatly.
As usual, Uya went out again and came to a nearby town.
The Land of Rain is not large, and there are not many towns, so almost every town has Konoha scout ninjas.
It's worth mentioning that when the news of Uya killing Senjin reached Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time before finally asking Uya if she needed anything else.
What Uya needed was, of course, the training method for the Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique, but the message went unanswered, and he didn't receive a reply from Hiruzen Sarutobi. It's likely that Konoha really didn't have it.
After wandering around the town, Uya casually dispatched several Amegakure ninjas and also killed an Iwagakure scout he had discovered.
Then, Uya went to find the Konoha ninja responsible for relaying messages and intelligence.
Passing messages on the battlefield is a special task, and for Special Anbu like Uya, passing messages is even more special.
It uses the oldest method of transmission via scrolls.
The scroll must be opened using a special method; otherwise, it will destroy itself, erasing its contents.
This is a method that is absolutely confidential.
Uya hadn't received any news from Konoha for a long time; he was the one who usually relayed messages to Konoha.
This time, however, they received a message from Konoha.
After reaching a corner and breaking the special seal on the scroll, Uya casually glanced at its contents.
But that one glance made Uya's gaze suddenly sharpen, and a fierce aura emanated from his entire body.
This almost immediately revealed Uya's identity as a ninja, but Uya didn't care at all.
He even unconsciously tightened his grip, nearly crushing the scroll.
The information on the scroll reads: Tsunade led the Konoha squad into an ambush by Iwagakure and was forced into the heart of the Land of Rain. The situation is critical, and Uya needs to come to their rescue as soon as possible.
Tsunade's strength is at least that of Elite Jonin, or even Quasi-Kage Level.
But now, the word used here isn't "support," it's "rescue"!
A single word can make all the difference!
This shows that Tsunade was facing a genuine crisis; otherwise, such a term wouldn't have been used.
Taking a deep breath, Uya destroyed the scroll and left.
If Tsunade is in danger, Uya absolutely cannot stand idly by. The plot has already been altered too much by Uya, and Uya cannot predict whether Tsunade will die if he doesn't help.
So he had to go.
The scroll provided a general location, and the route would pass right by the place where Uya, Konan, and the others lived.
Therefore, Uya decided to tell Konan Yahiko first.
If the scroll had given the opposite direction, Uya probably wouldn't have even notified Konan and Yahiko, and would have gone straight to the location indicated on the scroll.
Without expending too much energy, Uya used her full speed and returned to her residence in a short time.
Konan Yahiko are still training.
Uya simply told them that he would be leaving for a while and that they should be careful to hide themselves and preferably stay in a nearby town.
They are no longer ordinary people who can't even kill a chicken.
