Chapter 123: Feng Ye's Level [15]

In front of an immense gorge that resembled a heavenly moat.

"The Third Raikage actually..."

Tsunade stared at the fallen Third Raikage, sensing the disappearance of his chakra, and she couldn't help but take a deep breath. She never expected the Third Raikage to perish here in such a manner.

However, upon further reflection, the might of Feng Ye's previous attack was likely on par with a super S-rank 'Secret Technique' ninjutsu. When faced with a jutsu of such immense power, even she, with her Hundred Seals technique, would undoubtedly perish if she couldn't dodge it.

"Feng Ye!!"

Snapping out of her shock, Tsunade's heart skipped a beat, and she leaped over, landing beside Feng Ye.

The silvery light bathing Feng Ye faded, and his body swayed slightly, but he managed to stay standing with the support of the Kusanagi sword.

Feng Ye turned to Tsunade and offered her a smile. "I'm fine, Teacher... Just overexerted my chakra, that's all."

Tsunade didn't heed Feng Ye's words. Although she had some idea of his condition through her slug, she still placed her hand on his shoulder and channeled her chakra into him to assess his physical state.

There were signs of chakra overexertion.

Additionally, his body showed signs of being slightly overtaxed, but aside from that, there were no other injuries. The side effects were worlds apart from the last time he had used a forbidden technique.

This both relieved and perplexed Tsunade, and she asked, looking at Feng Ye, "Why...?"

"I haven't just been resting since I started training with you and came to this world over a month ago," Feng Ye said with a smile. "I've also developed a technique that can restore my body to its pre-damaged state."

Tsunade was mildly astonished. "Is it a technique that combines your Hundred Seals technique with Orochimaru's? Your state doesn't seem like you've used the Hundred Seals."

"It's not the Hundred Seals technique," Feng Ye nodded slightly. "Anyhow, with this technique, my abilities have finally been perfected. I hardly have any shortcomings in any aspect."

Tsunade gazed at Feng Ye, his features still bearing a hint of youthful immaturity, his appearance that of a boy no older than fifteen, and she let out a sigh.

She knew exactly what this meant.

A ninja's journey, from their training to becoming a genin, chunin, and jounin, is a process of constantly refining their abilities.

When a ninja reaches the level of a jounin, it signifies that they have found a path suited to them and have made significant progress along that path.

But.

The techniques and paths pursued by jounin-level ninjas are often imperfect and riddled with various shortcomings.

These shortcomings don't refer to defects in the ninja's innate abilities, as all-rounder ninjas are practically non-existent. Every ninja has their strengths and weaknesses. The 'shortcomings' refer to the ninja's ability to address specific situations.

To put it simply, at her level, regardless of encountering a ninja specializing in speed or ninjutsu and genjutsu, she could handle almost any situation.

This was the result of a combination of battle experience and enhanced abilities.

In contrast.

Kurenai Yuhi, a jounin skilled in sensory and illusion techniques, might find herself unable to cast her genjutsu fast enough when facing a speed-specialist ninja, making it difficult for her to counter them.

However, attaining this level was incredibly challenging, proving to be a hurdle that countless ninjas struggled to overcome.

While many villages' jounin possessed prohibited and secret techniques that allowed them to take down similarly leveled ninjas in a mutual destruction, it couldn't be considered a true perfection of their abilities.

In any given village, there were numerous jounin, but only a select few—a number that could be counted on one's fingers—had reached this level of perfection. Even in Konoha, there were barely a handful who had achieved this feat.

Previously, Feng Ye, despite his battlefield prowess and victory over Chiyo, could only be considered a jounin who had mastered a 'prohibited' technique, capable of taking down a ninja of Chiyo's caliber. He had not yet perfected his abilities.

But now, Feng Ye was an entirely different story! Having overcome the side effects of the forbidden technique and wielding the Kusanagi sword, he could flawlessly execute the legendary Flag Wood Sword Technique inherited from White Fang... With all these factors combined, he had truly become a ninja who had perfected his abilities!

Every ninja who perfects their abilities experiences a significant leap in strength, and Feng Ye was no exception. The extent of this power boost varied from person to person.

Kurenai, for instance, had already reached this level after mastering the Hundred Seals technique, gaining strength that surpassed that of a jounin. However, even with this power, she was still somewhat helpless against a tailed beast like the Eight-Tails.

Jiraiya had boasted about Minato Namikaze, who had perfected his abilities and attained an extraordinarily high level of prowess. In the entire ninja world, only a scant few could claim victory over Minato.

This claim was further validated by Minato's impressive battle record.

Feng Ye belonged to this elite group of ninjas as well.

Having perfected his abilities, he had surpassed countless others and truly reached the level of a 'Kage'!

"To have achieved this at the age of eleven... You're truly a... monster," Tsunade couldn't help but exclaim in awe. She had intended to call him a genius, but the word no longer seemed sufficient to describe Feng Ye; he was akin to a freak of nature!

During the Second Ninja World War, only Orochimaru could be considered to have barely perfected his abilities among the trio of Tsunade, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya, and they were already in their twenties back then!

"What's that supposed to mean?" Feng Ye rolled his eyes.

Tsunade glanced at Feng Ye, then removed her coat and tossed it to him. "Since you're fine, wrap this around yourself."

During the previous battle, Feng Ye's clothes had been burned to shreds by lightning arcs, leaving only small scraps of fabric clinging to a few vital areas.

Feng Ye took Tsunade's coat and draped it around himself.

While the "clothing destruction leads to death" trope didn't apply to him, the opposite trope of "clothing remains intact" also didn't hold true. It was challenging to keep clothes intact after opening the fifth gate.

While he wasn't entirely exposed, the tattered remains of his clothes hanging on his body were unsightly. Perhaps it was time for him to find a set of garments that wouldn't tear so easily!
