In the Land of Rain, in the forest.
A figure was walking along the riverbank, carefully searching and observing.
Tsunade originally planned to heal her injuries and then return to Konoha's camp with Uya, but unexpectedly they encountered a highly poisonous Ibuse and even obtained the Ibuse's venom sac.
Therefore, Tsunade postponed her decision to return to Konoha, because the fact that this Ibuse was appearing here meant that its home was nearby.
Moreover, even if its home isn't here, this must be where it's active, and where highly poisonous substances are active, there must be plants that counteract them, which are essential for preparing an antidote.
Tsunade is currently conducting preliminary experiments.
Counteracting the poison of the Ibuse is not so simple; otherwise, Hanzo of the Salamander wouldn't have been able to strike fear into the hearts of countless Shinobi World with his poison technique.
While Tsunade was gathering herbs and researching antidotes, Uya was modifying the Monstrous Strength.
Uya wanted to transform his offensive Monstrous Strength into a supportive Body Flicker Technique.
" Body Flicker Technique, Shave!"
boom!
The ground beneath Uya's feet suddenly cracked open, and Uya's body transformed into a blur, instantly rushing to a large tree in the distance. With a sudden punch, he shattered the tree into pieces.
"There seem to be a few minor adjustments that can be made."
This speed has already satisfied Uya somewhat.
Monstrous Strength is a technique that requires precise control of Chakra, but by gradually and experimentally altering these details, it becomes another technique altogether.
Taijutsu involving explosive, instantaneous movement; shaving.
The special Taijutsu of shaving can now be used in its initial stages.
Uya's speed was originally comparable to that of Kage Level powerhouse, but the speed he unleashed when using Shave was twice his original speed!
In terms of both effectiveness and limitations, it can already be considered to fall into the category of Body Flicker Technique.
The so-called Body Flicker Technique is the ability to instantly move at extremely high speeds. The most famous example is the Flying Thunder God, and there are also Earth Body Flicker Technique, Water Body Flicker Technique, and so on.
"Try again."
After making some adjustments to the details, Uya's gaze sharpened, and then he suddenly exerted force with his feet.
Click!!
The earth cracked open once again, and this time Uya's speed was so fast that even his afterimage was barely visible. He appeared suddenly in the distance as if he had flashed by!
Uya himself almost crashed headfirst into a big tree!
"This..."
Stopping in his tracks, Uya was stunned, then a look of surprise appeared on his face.
This is the perfect shave!
Countless adjustments and improvements were made, and finally the detailed application of Chakra was perfected!
It could even be said that it was due to a bit of luck; the speed that burst forth just now was three times Uya's normal speed.
"That speed in that instant, even if it can't compare to the Fourth Raikage in the original story, is probably not too far off. But unfortunately, it was only for a moment."
After the initial joy, Uya wore a thoughtful expression.
It's even slower than the Fourth Raikage's speed in the original story, so comparing it to the Flying Thunder God is naturally out of the question.
However, it's not that Shave wasn't strong enough, but rather that Uya's body wasn't strong enough.
Yes, there is almost no absolute limit to the speed increase of shaving, but the question is whether the body can withstand the burst of speed in that instant!
The current Uya can be said to be physically weaker than the Fourth Raikage in the original story, and the gap is even quite large.
Even if Uya were to obtain the speed of the Fourth Raikage, Uya body would not be able to withstand it.
Simply put, the stronger the body, the more it can withstand the stronger the shaving effect, and the faster the burst speed.
Shave is also a technique that can be developed over time, similar to Uya's Power of Tremors.
"If I can master the Second Stage of the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique, and then open the Fourth Gate of the True Eight Gates Released Formation, with the instantaneous burst speed of Shave, I should be able to surpass the Fourth Raikage."
"I just don't know how much of a gap there will be between it and the Flying Thunder God at that time, in short distances."
After muttering something to himself, Uya's eyes flickered, still thinking about the Lightning Release Body Tempering Secret Technique.
However, the battlefield in the Land of Rain only involved four forces: Iwagakure, Sunagakure, Amegakure, Konoha.
The Kumogakure of the Land of Lightning was not involved.
After the outbreak and end of the War in the Land of Rain, Second Shinobi World War entered a long period of localized warfare, and Kumogakure) joined the Second Shinobi World War.
Second Shinobi World War was the complete opposite of Third Shinobi World War. Second Shinobi World War started with a decisive battle in the Land of Rain, and then entered into localized wars.
The Third Shinobi World War began as a localized conflict, then escalated into a decisive battle, and finally ended with the Yellow Flash Minato Namikaze, sweeping across the battlefield and becoming a legend in the Shinobi World.
After using the perfect Shave technique several times in succession and completely memorizing the way Chakra circulated, Uya turned and left.
Strictly speaking, although Shave has reached a perfect state, it cannot unleash its true power in Uya's hands at present; it can only be considered a prototype.
Uya may only be able to truly unleash the power of the True Eight Gates Released Formation by opening the Fourth Gate, and only by opening the Fifth Gate or even the Sixth Gate can it be fully developed and perfected.
Of course, even so, the appearance of the razor allowed Uya to take another step forward in strength!
Above the Quasi-Kage level is the Kage Level.
In the Hokage world, there are no terms like "Quasi-Kage" or "Kage Level." It's just a simple classification system that Uya uses to measure the strength of his enemies.
For example, Elite Jonin with special Kekkei Genkai, or those who possess forbidden or Secret Technique, can generally be classified as Quasi-Kage.
But shadows are completely different.
Shadow stands at the pinnacle of human achievement in almost every aspect.
To say that they are at the pinnacle in every aspect actually means that they can't go any further; their strength has reached a limit, and there's no room for improvement.
As for beings like Madara Uchiha and Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki, they are no longer within the realm of humanity; ordinary ninjas cannot reach that level simply through training.
Unlike Chunin Jonin, who are further divided into Elite Chunin and Elite Jonin, the Kage Level doesn't have a concept of an "Elite Kage Level.
Every Kage Level powerhouse is a figure who can stand proudly above others.
In the original work, it seems that there are many Kage Level powerhouses, and there are even beings like Madara Uchiha and Princess Kaguya Otsutsuki who are far stronger than Kage Level.
But in reality, Kage Level powerhouses are extremely rare.
However, among Kage Level powerhouses, due to the different cultivation paths each person takes, their strengths do indeed vary, with some being strong and others weak.
Uya's classification of Kage Level is as follows: ordinary Kage Level, strong Kage Level, and Peak Kage Level!
The Fourth Kazekage, Gaara's father, was easily defeated by Orochimaru in the original work. His strength was probably at most that of an ordinary Kage Level, and he would have had difficulty suppressing the One-Tail.
A monster like the Third Raikage, who could suppress the Eight-Tails and even fight against thousands of enemies for three days and three nights, is at least at the Peak Kage Level, or even half a step above the Kage Level.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, at his peak, he was at least at the Peak Kage Level.
Hanzo of the Salamander also stands at the Peak Kage Level.
As for Konoha's White Fang, Uya estimates he might be slightly weaker, but he's still not an ordinary Kage Level ninja; he's a strong Kage Level ninja.
