Chapter 139: Aftermath and Cultivation [25]
Chapter 139: Aftermath and Cultivation [25]
A heavy silence fell within the tent.
"Dan... What did you just say, Danzo-sama?!"
Before Orochimaru could speak, one of the elite jonin beside him wore an incredulous look on his face and blurted out, addressing Danzo.
The other elite jonin present also turned to look, their expressions mirroring his disbelief.
Danzo didn't respond.
He simply lowered his head again, picking up the scroll once more as if to engrave every detail onto his mind.
"...Huh."
After a few seconds of silence, Orochimaru sighed and spoke, his voice tinged with a mix of emotions: "Was it Feng Ye who did this?"
"Yes."
Danzo continued staring intently at the scroll.
Orochimaru turned his head toward the entrance of the tent, walking a few steps in that direction. Pausing at the doorway, he gazed at the distant sky, now slowly darkening, before returning inside after a moment. A bitter smile played on his lips as he muttered, "This disciple of mine..."
Monster!
Even he, often dubbed a monster by others, felt that Feng Ye was the true monster in comparison.
Graduating from the Ninja Academy at the age of nine, Feng Ye went on to become a chuunin the same year. At ten years old, he advanced to the level of jounin, killing Chiyo and, at eleven, slew the Third Raikage, earning the rank of elite jounin...
And in the same year, he also killed the ninja mountain toad, Jiraiya, known as the demigod of the ninja world!
His rise to power was nothing short of miraculous.
But the most terrifying aspect was that Feng Ye had single-handedly infiltrated Amegakure and slain Jiraiya. The mere thought of such a feat was enough to boggle the mind.
Even though Amegakure was a small hidden village, it undoubtedly had its defenses and barriers in place, and Jiraiya himself was a pinnacle powerhouse in the ninja world!
At this moment, Orochimaru found it challenging to gauge Feng Ye's true strength!
He only knew that he was no match for Feng Ye.
Orochimaru was at a loss for words, and Danzo, fixated on the scroll, fell silent, his thoughts unknown.
The elite jonin beside them exchanged glances, each seeing the shock reflected in the others' eyes.
Alone.
He infiltrated Amegakure, killed Jiraiya, and brought down the entire village!
What terrifying power!
In that moment, amidst their awe, they even felt a sense of relief that such a formidable existence was the son of Bai Ya and a ninja of Konoha. Had he belonged to another village, the mere thought would have struck fear into their hearts.
...
News of Feng Ye's slaying of Jiraiya and the fall of Amegakure spread far and wide.
Both Iwagakure and Sunagakure were greatly affected by this development. The Tsuchikage, Onoki, was stunned, and the Kazekage, Rasa, was shaken to his core.
While Rasa did not recall the sand ninjas active on the border, as they were the 'dissidents' he intended to eliminate, Onoki immediately ordered a retreat of his frontline forces.
He dared not act recklessly anymore!
With Amegakure now in ruins, should Feng Ye join the battlefield, the opposing forces would suffer tremendous losses. Unless they could form an alliance with Sunagakure, there was little chance of continuing the war.
However, the power Feng Ye displayed in this battle also gave Onoki a massive headache. This ninja was even more fearsome than a jinchuriki!
He was an absolute weapon of war!
...
As Sunagakure fell into an eerie calm and Iwagakure began to quietly retreat, Feng Ye did not return to Konoha's camp. Instead, he arrived at a canyon within the Land of Rain.
The Shadow Clone technique was such that any experience and sensation endured by the clones would be completely relayed back to the original body upon their dispersal. Having created at least a thousand clones, an extremely exaggerated number, the impact of their dispersal was equally overwhelming.
Having witnessed Naruto's use of multiple shadow clones before, Feng Ye had assumed there wouldn't be any major issues. But now, he couldn't help but complain—he simply couldn't understand how Naruto managed to withstand the feedback from so many clones.
It just didn't make sense!
The only plausible explanation was that Naruto's spirit was connected to the Nine-Tails, and the feedback he received was largely shielded by the tailed beast, preventing any adverse effects.
Regardless, the Shadow Clone technique was not to be taken lightly, and Feng Ye decided that he would look for opportunities to learn the Water Clone or Rock Clone techniques instead, as these clones did not relay their experiences back to the original body.
After a moment's thought, Feng Ye found a clean rock to sit on and took out the scroll containing the secret Lightning Release technique.
He wasn't sure about the Sand Ninjas, but he could guess the Rock Ninjas' reaction. Having killed Mountain Toad Hanzo single-handedly and crushed the Rain Ninja Village, Great Tree would undoubtedly refrain from any hasty actions for the time being, ordering his forces to retreat and cease their pressure on Konoha.
Feng Ye had no intention of pursuing the Rock Ninjas further.
They were scattered across the Land of Fire and the Land of Earth, and chasing them down would require a vast amount of location intelligence and an extensive amount of time.
Rather than spending time hunting down a few Rock Ninjas, Feng Ye wanted to further elaborate on the Lightning Release secret technique he had previously organized and then refine it through experimentation.
After that, he would begin cultivating it.
His physique was not as naturally suited to the Eight Inner Gates as Might Guy's, and he had only been able to reach the fifth gate so far due to his rigorous training regimen—a regimen that far exceeded Guy's in terms of time spent training!
On the surface, it appeared that Feng Ye had taken two years to cultivate the Eight Inner Gates to the fifth gate, from the age of nine to eleven. But in reality, he had spent at least twice that amount of time—over four years!
The difficulty of the Eight Inner Gates increased exponentially, and the sixth gate was almost as challenging as the sum of the previous gates. At his current pace, he estimated that it would take at least four years of actual training to reach it.
Such training was incredibly monotonous, and while Feng Ye possessed unwavering determination, he didn't want to continue down this path. Moreover, at this rate, the seventh gate would likely take even longer, and the eighth gate might never be attainable.
Thus, a change was necessary.
With the ability to turn back time, Feng Ye could attempt to experiment with ninja techniques endlessly without worrying about the consequences on his body.
Using the Lightning Release chakra secret technique to temper and refine his body, he believed that he had a high probability of reducing the difficulty of opening the Eight Inner Gates and shortening the time required.
After all,
The Eight Inner Gates technique he was using was no longer a pure taijutsu style but a Lightning Release-enhanced version, using lightning chakra to force the gates open.
