Chapter 47: Blazing Fist!
Chapter 47: Blazing Fist!
Whoosh!
A crimson flame flickered to life at the tip of Tang Ping's fingers.
"This..."
Kakashi and Minato's eyes widened in surprise.
They had seen many things and knew exactly what this meant.
Chakra nature transformation!
This was a skill typically mastered by jonin.
Now, with the glove-like ninja tool, this gap was immediately bridged.
"Huh!"
Tang Ping seemed to sense something and instinctively looked at the creator of the tool.
"Hehe," in response to his gaze, Uzumaki Kukinai proudly introduced, "That's right, this ninja tool really does have all the functions you mentioned!"
Fire-natured chakra transformation, gathering flame energy, and enhancing control!
These were the three main functions Tang Ping had initially proposed.
He had planned for Kukinai to focus on one of these functions and create a tool tailored to his needs.
But to his surprise!
She managed to complete all three functions.
It was simply incredible.
The master of sealing techniques could indeed do as they pleased.
A divine artifact!
For him at this stage, it was nothing short of a divine artifact.
"Kukinai, you truly are amazing!" Tang Ping sincerely praised her, but then sighed in exasperation, "But how many times do I have to tell you not to call me that?"
He couldn't understand why she had given him such a nickname as 'Little Candy.'
A man like him, who had descended from the heavens, couldn't possibly have a nickname like that. It was a black mark on his history.
Tang Ping could already imagine it.
In the future, when he was punching the Six Paths and kicking Kaguya, someone calling him 'Little Candy.'
This world might as well be destroyed.
"Hmph, when you were begging me to make this tool for you, you called me 'Sister Kukinai.' Now that you have it, you just call me 'Kukinai,' right?"
Kukinai's reproachful voice sent a chill down Tang Ping's spine, and he had no choice but to concede.
"Sister Kukinai, you can call me whatever you want, but we should hurry to the arena, or we'll be late."
He quickly walked forward.
She had gone to great lengths for him, and he wasn't like Obito, who was ungrateful. He couldn't refuse her this small request.
"By the way, what should we call your new tool? How about 'Ultra Blazing Lightning... Mark II'?"
Minato's eyes gleamed as he tentatively suggested.
"..."
The others were speechless.
Minato was great in every other aspect, but his naming skills were terrible, always coming up with overly dramatic and lengthy names.
"No, thank you. It already has a name. I'll call it 'Blazing Fist'!"
Tang Ping declined Minato's 'suggestion,' not wanting to add another black mark to his history.
Blazing Fist!
It had to be better than those other tool names, right?
Names like the Seven-Star Sword or the Red Gourd just didn't fit the ninja world.
If those names were acceptable, his wouldn't raise any suspicion.
And the name was fitting.
Blazing indicated the tool's characteristic, and Fist represented the part of the body it equipped.
Perfect!
As he walked, Tang Ping manipulated the flame at his fingertips to quickly familiarize himself with the various attributes of the Blazing Fist.
First, the defense!
The Blazing Fist, made primarily from Fujisan branches, volcanic cloth, and chakra metal threads, was light and flexible, yet its defense was top-notch. It could serve as armor in critical moments.
Next, the enhanced control.
If Tang Ping's control was a 1 before, it was now at least a 3.
The significant improvement was partly due to his previously weak control and partly due to the power of the sealing technique.
Additionally, the surrounding temperature continued to rise, but the chakra consumption decreased.
This was because the tool gathered ambient heat, allowing the user to conserve energy.
It's just that he doesn't have the time, otherwise, Tang Ping would have rushed to the training grounds to experiment and train to his heart's content.
Who wouldn't want to play with a new toy right away?
Along the way, Tang Ping also noticed Kakashi's immense popularity.
"Go, Kakashi!"
"Don't lose!"
"You're the strongest!"
Super genius!
This reputation wasn't built for nothing. The villagers of Konoha were all cheering and supporting him. It's no wonder he would become the future 'Kakami' and '50-50'—his popularity has been evident since he was young.
In comparison, Tang Ping was a mere shadow. Even when walking together, in the villagers' eyes, he was like a foot washer to the main character.
Though his strength was considerable, who could blame them for treating him this way, given his surname 'Uchiha'?
Bound by this name, it was already a blessing that the village leadership didn't suppress him. They certainly wouldn't build up his reputation.
"Don't worry, you'll be as popular as Kakashi among the villagers eventually!"
Minato Namikaze, perhaps feeling the stark contrast, tried to reassure Tang Ping.
Unfortunately, he didn't realize that Tang Ping cared little about such things.
It was just a 'few' villagers cheering, after all.
In his previous life, the idols and celebrities he knew had millions of fans.
A few thousand 'casual fans' were nothing to fuss over.
Before long, they arrived at the 'Arena' on the outskirts of the village.
It was a massive structure, only used for grand celebrations and important matches, capable of accommodating tens of thousands of spectators.
Only the existence of ninjas could allow for such an impressive building.
The arena was circular, with one side featuring a towering red palace-like structure serving as a wall, designated for the viewing area of the most prestigious figures.
After all, the 'Sky Dragons' couldn't be made to sit in the stands like ordinary people, could they?
At that moment, a large number of spectators were queuing to enter.
However, Tang Ping and his group didn't need to wait in line; they used the backstage entrance.
On either side of the entrance, many ninjas from the three major villages were stationed, responsible for security checks.
The incident in the Forest of Death had highlighted the need for better security, so more resources were invested this time.
Thud, thud!
Tang Ping and his group entered and split up. He and Kakashi headed to the competitors' viewing stand, which offered a close-up view of the arena below.
The battlefield for ninjas couldn't be too small, so it was vast.
This was the Chuunin Exams, after all.
For battles between Kage-level ninjas, even a much larger area wouldn't be safe enough.
The arena was already filled with contestants.
"Kakashi, last time we didn't decide a winner. This time, I'll defeat you on the battlefield and prove the strength of the Sand Village!"
Maki approached with two teammates.
"Boring!"
Kakashi turned away, showing no interest in engaging with him.
Thud, thud!
Heavy footsteps echoed as several figures approached.
Massive, imposing bodies, with simple, honest faces, and headbands of the Rock Village.
It was Ganto!
However, he stopped a few meters away, not speaking, but the overwhelming killing intent was unmistakable.
So, he's not pretending anymore, huh?
Tang Ping silently mocked. The other party wasn't even pretending to be a low-ranking ninja anymore, but he stepped back.
Because the target wasn't him.
Kakashi, Maki, Ganto!
These were the geniuses promoted by their respective villages—Konoha, Sand, and Rock.
It wasn't surprising that they only had eyes for each other.
If Tang Ping could have forfeited without consequences and still managed to gain something, he would have withdrawn.
How else would he pay for Koji Yamamoto's medical expenses?
Now was his chance.
