Chapter 110: The Triwizard Tournament Heats Up [820]
Tsunade had been sitting in a tea house not far from the casino. It wasn't until she heard a loud crash from the casino that she stood up, her eyes narrowing as she exhaled softly.
"It's finally over."
Feng Ye had only brought a few thousand dollars, and after gambling for so long without any activity, she was starting to wonder what was going on. She was just about to leave when she saw Feng Ye and Shizune exiting the casino and quickly making their way over.
Yawning, Tsunade walked up to them and said, "Let's go. We should still have time to make it to the next town. I have an acquaintance there who might be able to lend us some money for accommodations."
"No, no," Feng Ye chuckled. "Let's stay here tonight. We'll go to the best hot spring inn in town."
Tsunade paused, but before she could say anything, Shizune excitedly exclaimed, "Lady Tsunade! Feng Ye won back all the money!!!"
"Huh?!?" Tsunade exclaimed, her voice rising several decibels.
...
At the hot spring inn, Feng Ye lay comfortably in the steaming pool, his hands resting on the surface of the water. A faint green light flickered in his palms.
Even while relaxing in the hot spring, he didn't slack off on his training in palm ninjutsu.
After this period of cultivation, he could clearly feel that his control over chakra had improved even further, and this enhancement in turn helped him break through the bottleneck in his Hatake Sword Technique—or rather, the Hatake Sword Art as he had modified it. He had been stuck at the second stage for a long time, unable to condense the chakra blade.
The first stage of the Hatake Sword Art involved mastering chakra flow, while the second stage required highly concentrated control to shape the scattered chakra into a sharp blade.
This was similar in nature to the chakra scalpel used in medical ninjutsu.
Both techniques demanded an extremely high level of mastery.
If he could advance to the second stage of the Hatake Sword Art, he might be able to improve his Chidori by transforming the scattered lightning chakra into a more concentrated lightning blade.
Even in the state of Eight Inner Gates, where the violent and chaotic chakra flow was difficult to maintain, the cutting power of the technique would still be greatly enhanced.
For him, this would be a substantial increase in strength.
At his current level, he had no shortage of speed and chakra, and he also possessed abilities akin to those of a Reincarnated Dirt Body. The only limitation to his power was the might of his attacks.
If he could increase the power of his strikes to the point of breaking through defenses like those of the Third Raikage, he would be virtually unstoppable among the Kage-level ninja!
"It shouldn't take long now to master the Chakra Scalpel... After that, achieving the second stage of the Hatake Sword Art should be easy."
Feng Ye gazed at the faint green glow in his palm, a slight smile playing on his lips. As the green light eventually dissipated, he stretched his body and glanced at the wooden fence that separated the hot spring into sections.
Hmm.
Tsunade and Shizune were probably on the other side.
Tsunade was likely enjoying the hot spring normally, but as for Shizune... well, he hoped she wasn't trying to peek over here—Feng Ye stroked his chin as his eyes roamed over the wooden fence.
Indeed, on the other side of the fence, Shizune and Tsunade were soaking in the hot spring. Shizune sensed Feng Ye's presence on the other side, feeling a mix of shyness, curiosity, and excitement.
However, with Tsunade right beside her, she dared not make any moves.
...
Five days later, Feng Ye mastered the Palm Ninjutsu.
Another five days passed, and he successfully learned the Chakra Scalpel.
Two days after that, in an empty field, Feng Ye held the Kusanagi sword in his hand. Chakra flowed within him and into the blade, suddenly condensing into a white light that extended from the sword's edge like a translucent, gleaming blade.
This strike was executed without the use of time acceleration or the Eight Inner Gates.
"Indeed, just mastering the second stage of the Hatake Sword Art is enough to possess strength comparable to that of a high-level jonin. With further improvement, this single move could even reach Kage-level might."
Feng Ye murmured to himself.
He suddenly felt that if Kakashi hadn't transplanted the Sharingan and instead focused on cultivating his sword technique, he might not have been any worse off, or perhaps even stronger.
During this period of cultivating the Palm Mystical Technique, he had been constantly asking Tsunade about the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique. After witnessing Feng Ye's incredible rate of progress, Tsunade no longer objected and shared some of the technique's intricacies with him.
This included the Yin Seal Technique.
This technique was a prerequisite for the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique as it was extremely chakra-taxing, and a normal ninja's chakra reserves would not be able to support even a few activations of the technique.
Feng Ye listened to her explanations but had no intention of practicing it himself. The chakra stored by the Yin Seal Technique did not increase one's own chakra capacity; it merely provided an external 'blue bottle' for supplementary chakra, which was of little use to someone with time-rewinding abilities like him.
Even the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique itself held little appeal.
The reason he sought to learn this technique was primarily to obtain the 'program' or control method to naturally circulate chakra within his body.
Feng Ye was confident that this was one of the keys to cultivating the Immortal Body. Only by using the body's activated cells and employing the circulation method of the Multi-Shadow Clone Technique to combine natural energy with his own cells could he transform his body toward the Immortal Body.
Just then, a voice interrupted Feng Ye's training.
"Feng Ye!"
It was Shizune, her voice carrying a hint of urgency and tension, something that hadn't been present in the past half-month.
Feng Ye sheathed the Kusanagi sword and looked in Shizune's direction, seeing her tense expression as she rushed over.
"Feng Ye, something's happened!"
She paused for a moment, then took a deep breath and continued, "The village sent ninjas to look for you and Lady Tsunade. Apparently, Kirigakure, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure have all begun to make their moves, and their target is our Fire Country!"
Hearing Shizune's urgent report, Feng Ye sighed and said, "So, the three great ninja villages have formed an alliance? It seems the situation is quite unfavorable... Let's go."
In his memory,
According to the normal plotline, Konoha should have defeated Sunagakure, and there would have been a period of peace in the ninja world. Then, Iwagakure would attack Konoha, followed by Kumogakure ambushing Iwagakure, and Kirigakure attacking Konoha. Kumogakure would then turn against Konoha as well.
In the end, the three villages would indeed unite to attack Konoha, but not right from the start. They would first deplete each other's forces significantly before joining forces against Konoha.
Feng Ye wasn't surprised by this development.
Minato Namikaze's performance in the decisive battle had been dazzling, and he had even slain Chiyo of Sunagakure, which would undoubtedly disrupt the balance of power in the ninja world!
"The next step should be the most crucial turning point of the Third Great Ninja War."
Feng Ye murmured to himself.
