Chapter 806: Research
Chapter 806: Research
In the end, Dai Tu announced the results, ranking both teams at the bottom and requiring everyone to answer a hundred questions.
Of course, Aoi and her team could offset the questions through extra training, reducing the burden and allowing them to answer the questions in installments, giving them more time.
"Let me show you what true ninjutsu is."
Dai Tu said, puffing out his chest.
Although he had only been in the parallel world for a week, his strength had improved significantly.
The intense battles left him no choice but to improve or face elimination.
Aoi and her teammates showed eager expressions.
Boruto's expression remained unchanged.
Boruto's perception of Dai Tu had changed, but he still didn't think that Dai Tu could demonstrate a ninjutsu that would astonish him.
Having experienced many trials and tribulations, Boruto had witnessed numerous powerful ninjutsu firsthand.
"Breath of Fire, full concentration!"
Dai Tu gathered a vast amount of nature energy, entering the Breath of Fire Sage Mode, and immediately transitioned into the Breath of Fire Chakra Mode, enhancing his fire attribute chakra nature transformation.
"Sage Art: Rasengan Azure Flame!"
Dai Tu extended his right hand, concentrating a large amount of fire attribute chakra, and a chakra sphere enveloped in blue flames rapidly formed.
This was a powerful sage technique that could only be performed within Kakashi's body, but now Dai Tu, having grown stronger, could execute it alone.
"Are you ready? It's about to explode."
Dai Tu's previously created shadow clone smiled and moved Aoi and the others to a safe distance before the Rasengan slammed into the ground.
A deafening explosion followed, accompanied by rising dust and flying debris.
As the smoke cleared, Boruto looked in Dai Tu's direction. The once-smooth training ground now had a charred pit several tens of meters wide, with blue flames still burning within.
Boruto's mouth hung open in surprise. He hadn't expected Dai Tu to know the Rasengan, and it was a more powerful version than he had ever seen.
"How's that? Pretty impressive, right?"
Dai Tu waved his hand, extinguishing the flames, and walked towards the group with a smug expression.
Aside from the unreasonable Divine Might, this was the strongest technique he could currently use.
"Captain Dai Tu, I want to learn this!"
Aoi raised her hand and shouted as quickly as she could.
"Excellent, very determined. With your learning speed, if you train for another twelve years, you should be able to meet the requirements for mastering the Azure Flame."
Dai Tu stroked his chin thoughtfully.
"Twelve years? That's too long!"
Aoi complained. She had only lived for fourteen years, and the requirement seemed too high.
"Too long? I have a way to learn it in just one day. Do you want to learn it?"
"Yes! Yes!"
"Tonight, before you go to sleep, keep saying, 'I've mastered the Azure Flame Rasengan.' You might even dream about it."
Dai Tu snapped his fingers and tapped Aoi's head. "If you want to learn powerful techniques, you must train diligently and lay a solid foundation. Don't expect to become an expert overnight."
Even with the guidance of the Moonbath Leader, it took him a long time to master the Azure Flame.
"How long did it take you to meet the requirements?"
Boruto asked curiously.
"About three years," Dai Tu replied after a moment's thought.
"Do you want to learn it?"
Dai Tu chuckled and reached for Boruto's head, but Boruto dodged his touch.
"I was just asking," Boruto said, not responding to Dai Tu's question.
Boruto was undoubtedly interested in learning such a powerful ninjutsu, but he couldn't perform fire-style techniques. Even with his talent, it might take him several years to meet the requirements.
However, this wasn't their world, and they wouldn't be staying for long.
"I want to use the favor you owe me to help me find Sasuke."
To prevent any misunderstanding, Boruto deliberately addressed Sasuke without any honorifics.
"Sasuke..."
Dai Tu thought for a moment, understanding Boruto's intention and guessing at his thoughts.
If he had traveled to a parallel world similar to the past, he would definitely want to see the young Moonbath Leader.
"It's a small matter, and you don't need to use up your favor. I'll take you to him tomorrow."
Dai Tu readily agreed.
Since he still had to train Aoi and the others, he scheduled it for the next day.
Boruto had no objections, and he stayed with Dai Tu and his team for the rest of the day.
It wasn't that Dai Tu insisted on his presence; Boruto found it interesting and chose not to leave.
Watching Dai Tu train Aoi and her teammates, Boruto felt like he was witnessing a live-action manga, albeit a comedic one.
When he became a "training tool" and joined in, it became even more enjoyable.
Time flew by when they were having fun, and it was already past three in the afternoon when Dai Tu announced the end of the training session.
Since none of them were particularly busy, they rested for a while before Dai Tu and his team accompanied Boruto on a stroll through Konohagakure.
With more people, the walk through Konoha was indeed more enjoyable, and by the time they returned at five, everyone was in high spirits.
...
"Moonbath Leader, I'm afraid we've failed again," Orochimaru said, turning to Moonbath Leader as he looked at the lifeless criminal.
"Perhaps it's because your chakra is too strong. We should select individuals with better taijutsu skills and stronger physiques to withstand it."
"The issue isn't the strength of the physique but the 'aptitude' of the body."
Moonbath Leader shook his head.
To save Boruto and thoroughly research the powerful divine technique "Xie," Moonbath Leader sought out Orochimaru to study it together.
However, saying that their research was not going smoothly is putting it mildly; it was practically impossible to initiate.
The reason was that individuals capable of bearing the 'Xie' were incredibly rare.
Moonbath Leader and Orochimaru had tested it on all the death row inmates over two days, and every single one of them had died violently.
"So, what kind of 'aptitude' are we talking about? Is it ninjutsu or something else?"
Orochimaru inquired.
"If it's about ninjutsu, this body of mine is passable."
After exchanging memories with his parallel world counterpart, Orochimaru discovered numerous abilities, including the non-corporeal reincarnation.
"I know how to accelerate the thawing of the 'Xie'."
Great Sage Kaguya replied truthfully.
The faster the thawing of the Xie, the more advantageous it was for the Daitoryu clan, so naturally, they would never research how to slow down the thawing of the Xie.
At least, not in Great Sage Kaguya's memory.
"You've already mentioned this to me."
Moonbath Leader had only asked casually, so he wasn't overly disappointed.
If it was just about delaying the thaw, Moonbath Leader actually had a very effective plan.
He could use the Six Paths Seal to seal Boruto's chakra, causing the thawing of the Xie to slow down to its lowest limit, becoming extremely gradual, and it would take sixty or seventy years to completely thaw.
However, there was one problem with this approach: Boruto would no longer be able to use chakra and could only live as an ordinary person.
This would be cruel for someone with such excellent ninja talent as Boruto, so Moonbath Leader only considered it as a backup plan.
When the research made little progress and Boruto and the others had to return, Moonbath Leader would bring out this plan.
As night fell, Moonbath Leader sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, closing his eyes and sensing the Six Paths chakra within his body.
According to Moonbath Leader's classification of the mystical realm, even the Six Paths Sage was considered a top-tier Post-Zhouhou Existence, and there was much for the current Moonbath Leader to learn from.
"I wonder what reward there will be this time."
After finishing his cultivation, Moonbath Leader checked his disciples' life tasks, and Shizui's progress bar, which was nearly at ninety percent, was particularly eye-catching.
After breaking through to the Post-Zhouhou Stage, the system's assistance to Moonbath Leader became much less significant.
Even the life task rewards of Kakashi and Might Guy from the Fourth Great Ninja War had little impact on Moonbath Leader's strength, being barely better than nothing.
He was already well-rounded, lacking neither offensive nor defensive capabilities.
However, Moonbath Leader did not underestimate the system.
The last time, Shizui's life task reward, the Potala Earring, was quite extraordinary. It not only became the disciples' trump card but also proved useful to Moonbath Leader.
It could be said that as Moonbath Leader's strength increased, only the rewards from high-progress life tasks might be of use to him.
Currently, Shizui's life task was in the absolute lead, with the second-highest being Dai Tu, who was just one percent short of the eighty percent mark.
The third was Might Guy, with over seventy percent progress.
As for Kakashi, his life task was unique and different from the others.
