Chapter 180: Arrival at Dragon Cave [37]
Chapter 180: Arrival at Dragon Cave [37]
Several days later.
In a spacious backyard within the Uchiha clan's compound, a four-year-old boy was continuously throwing punches at a teenager standing before him. The teenager kept backing away to dodge the attacks, occasionally raising his hand to deflect a blow while speaking.
"You need to be more aggressive with your strikes to vital points, and your feint techniques should be more convincing."
Pa!
Feng Ye caught an elbow strike from Uchiha Itachi and gently pushed it upward, flipping him over.
Itachi somersaulted and landed a short distance away, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead as he panted lightly. "Yes, teacher."
"That's it for today. From now on, you'll continue your training on your own."
Feng Ye nodded at Itachi and smiled faintly. "To be honest, it's already quite remarkable that you've reached this level at the age of four. I don't think I was as skilled as you are now when I was your age."
"Age isn't the most important factor..." Itachi looked at Feng Ye with a hint of admiration in his eyes. "It's more about the effort put in. Teacher, you must have exerted far more effort than others to reach the pinnacle of the ninja world at such a young age."
"Mhm."
"Indeed."
Feng Ye smiled slightly and turned to leave.
After staying in the Uchiha clan's territory, two days ago, Uchiha Fugaku had asked him to guide Itachi in his training. In truth, any jonin could guide a four-year-old Itachi, and it wasn't necessary for Feng Ye to do so. The underlying meaning behind the request was for Itachi to become his disciple.
After some consideration, Feng Ye didn't resist and accepted Itachi as his first disciple.
Sasuke was Kakashi's disciple.
And now, Itachi was his.
The brothers happened to be the teachers of another set of brothers.
After leaving the courtyard where Itachi trained, Feng Ye returned to his residence and saw Kakashi practicing taijutsu in the courtyard. He paused for a moment before speaking. "Kakashi, go to Lou Lan in a few days and deliver this for me."
As he spoke, Feng Ye handed Kakashi a specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai.
It wasn't the Flying Thunder God Kunai of Namikaze Minato; the design was slightly different. This one was his own, custom-made within the Uchiha clan in recent days.
"Flying Thunder God Kunai..."
Kakashi took the kunai from Feng Ye and suddenly realized, "Why me?"
Feng Ye shrugged. "Because I have other matters to attend to, and you're free anyway."
Next, he prepared to set off for Dragon Cave.
He would first obtain the immortal technique training method from Dragon Cave, then get the one from Wet Bone Forest, and finally, the one from Mount Myoboku.
He had already obtained the coordinates for Dragon Cave and Wet Bone Forest from Orochimaru and Tsunade respectively, and two days ago, he had also gotten the coordinates for Mount Myoboku from Jiraiya.
The lack of sensory abilities was a significant weakness.
It had always hindered his ability to pursue targets effectively. Some special Body Flicker Techniques and Body Replacement Techniques could cause him to lose track of coordinates instantly.
He wouldn't concern himself with the affairs of Konoha in the short term, regardless of whether the Nine-Tails' invasion would occur or not. However, he had to deal with the issues of the corrupted Uchiha Obito and the missing Uchiha Madara. Without sufficient sensory abilities, he felt somewhat inadequate in addressing these matters.
In his current state, if he were to face off against Peak-state Senju Hashirama,
Most likely, neither of them would be able to gain the upper hand.
He could completely ignore Hashirama's Wood Release, and in a prolonged battle, he was certain to emerge victorious. However, he couldn't differentiate between the real Hashirama and his Wood Clone, allowing Hashirama to escape the battlefield at any time.
But once he mastered Sage Mode, it would be an entirely different story. He would acquire sensory abilities comparable to those of the Sharingan.
By then, he could begin to set his sights on the Six Paths!
Feng Ye never let down his guard because he knew that the Sage of the Six Paths had always been watching this world. Even though the Sage currently adhered to the principle of non-interference in the ninja world, Feng Ye, who existed outside of this world and possessed the ethereal clock, was an anomaly.
It was hard to ensure that the Sage of the Six Paths would definitely turn a blind eye. And if the Sage were to take any action, the ninja world would immediately see the emergence of a Six Paths-level existence.
Therefore...
Until he reached the level of the Six Paths, he was still far from being truly fearless.
Kakashi rolled his eyes and looked at the Flying Thunder God kunai in his hand. He couldn't help but say, "Big brother, you seem to be very concerned about the situation in Lou Lan. You wouldn't happen to have something going on with the Queen of Lou Lan, would you?"
Before he could finish his sentence, a finger came into his line of sight.
Bang!
Kakashi wanted to dodge, but the finger was too fast, and he couldn't avoid it. It poked him on the forehead, causing his entire upper body to involuntarily lean back.
"Cut the chatter and get going."
Feng Ye retracted his finger.
There was another reason for sending Kakashi to Lou Lan. As he would be leaving Konoha soon, it was a good opportunity for Kakashi to temporarily leave the village as well, just in case any problems arose.
After shooing Kakashi away, Feng Ye bid farewell to Uchiha Fugaku and briefly mentioned that he would be leaving for a trip. Then, he set off with Rin, leaving Konoha behind.
The two traveled east.
About half a month later, they arrived at the location of Dragon Cave.
"Is this the place where Dragon Cave is located? It feels so eerie..."
Rin followed behind Feng Ye, looking at the mist that shrouded the bizarre mountain range, and couldn't help but use a bit of chakra to dispel some of the chill she felt.
This place was a strange mountain range, enveloped in thick mist, and she vaguely felt as if something was secretly watching them.
"It's been a long time since I've seen that snake."
The voice of the Three-Tails echoed in Rin's mind.
Rin was surprised and asked, "Eh? That snake?"
"Mmm, the one you humans call the White Snake Sage."
The leaders of the Three Holy Lands, the White Snake Sage, the Toad Sage, and the Slug Sage, were all beings that existed a thousand years ago, dating back to the time of the Sage of Six Paths. In fact, they were even older than the birth of the tailed beasts, so the tailed beasts were generally familiar with them.
However, their relationships varied. For example, the relationship between the Nine-Tails and the Toad Sage was extremely poor, and it particularly despised toads. Its relationship with the other two sages was also rather indifferent.
Feng Ye reached out and grabbed a small tuft of mist in the air.
The mist quickly dissipated between his fingers.
"A semi-illusory and semi-real domain constructed using natural energy, huh? It's basically the same as what Orochimaru-sensei said. It's not an illusion technique targeting humans but a covering-type barrier..."
Feng Ye murmured and calmly continued walking forward.
At the same time, in the shadows.
Three pairs of eyes were watching Feng Ye.
A graceful figure loomed in and out of the mist.
"Ah, more humans have arrived..."
"They don't seem like humans who are lost."
"Hehehe, it's my turn to go first this time. They're my snacks, so you two better not try to take them from me."
