Chapter 109 Lightning Release Secret Technique, War Resumes
"Unfortunately, it's still too difficult to figure out bloodline limits." Gen Takuno sighed.
Judging from the current progress, even the relatively simple Ice Release technique requires him to spend a lot of time, let alone Swift Release or Dark Release.
So, should we continue researching the fusion of bloodline limits now?
Indeed, for Gen Takuno, these were all tasks that had to be completed. However, besides these, there were other situations where he needed to use the Spirit Transformation Technique, such as—
"The Lightning Release Chakra Mode he used in front of the Two-Tails Yugito."
While the ninjas of Kumogakure may not have many other attributes, they certainly don't lack lightning attribute. With these materials, he is confident that he can figure out the true Lightning Release chakra mode, although the final effect may not be exactly the same.
At that time, his fake Lightning Release Chakra Mode will be able to transform into a real one.
In this way, the identity of the "collector" becomes even more mysterious and unpredictable, leaving all those who try to find out in vain.
Furthermore, the method of using Lightning Release to precisely stimulate nerve electrical signals to forcibly increase reflex speed, which I had considered when practicing Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, can now be tested.
If this experiment succeeds, the resulting surge in combat power may even surpass bloodline limits; speed is the dividing line between life and death.
Most importantly, the speed of nerve reflexes is also related to something else, namely the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Of course, it wasn't that he had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. Thinking about this, he felt a little regretful. He really didn't have much talent for space-time. Currently, he had completely grasped the Flying Thunder God Technique's formula, but he still couldn't learn it.
So he did this simply to guard against the Flying Thunder God Technique!
He wasn't sure when he might become enemies with Minato Namikaze. After all, if what he had done were exposed, he probably wouldn't fare well and might have to face Minato Namikaze.
To fight Minato Namikaze, the first thing to do is not to master more powerful ninjutsu, but to find a way to counter his Flying Thunder God Technique.
With Kagura's Mind's Eye, even with the Flying Thunder God Technique, he wasn't worried about not being able to detect his opponent.
However, whether one can discover something and react to it is also a big problem.
Therefore, if he can improve his nerve reflex speed, and with Kagura's Mind's Eye locking on, he will have a basic method to deal with the Flying Thunder God Technique.
With a way to counter the Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato Namikaze was no longer such a threat to him.
Takuno's eyes flickered. In reality, he was just making some battle preparations. Overall, the possibility of him becoming an enemy of Minato Namikaze was not very high.
The only things he might expose are the experiments, the Yamato incident, and the events that triggered the war. Unless the other side probes his memories, it's virtually impossible for these things to be revealed.
Since almost everything he collected on the battlefield was not from Konoha, even if Minato Namikaze were to question and punish him, he might not necessarily be labeled a rogue ninja.
Even so, the possibility of Minato Namikaze fighting him is not zero, so it's best to start preparing in advance.
Strategizing within the command tent, winning battles a thousand miles away!
Thinking it over, he made a decision: to first study the relatively easy Lightning Release techniques to improve his strength, and then study the more difficult Bloodline Limits later.
However, even with the secret technique of lightning release, it is unrealistic to research it in a short period of time.
Moreover, his purpose in coming out was to recuperate in the Land of Hot Springs, and this period could not last too long. He would eventually have to return to Konoha and the battlefield.
Now, the battlefield is no longer of much help to him, but he still has no choice but to participate in this war.
"This is a bit of a waste of time," Gen Takuno muttered. Ending the war was too troublesome for him, so he should consider how to conduct experiments on the Spirit Transformation Technique while participating in the war.
Since the experimentation with the Spirit Transformation Technique can only be conducted by the main body, only the clones can remain on the battlefield.
If it's a shadow clone, it's too easy for it to disband due to some minor accident, and since it's not near the base, and once it disbands, they might not even be able to get the news, so it's not a good choice.
Yuan Tuoye frowned. Shadow clones do indeed have the ability to dissolve the original body and gain the corresponding memories, and even the chakra will return to the original body.
However, this does not mean that there are no distance restrictions at all.
Just like when Naruto Uzumaki fought Pain, the shadow clones responsible for gathering Sage Mode chakra had to be summoned to the scene using the Reverse Summoning Technique to disband, instead of letting the shadow clones calculate the duration of Sage Mode and disband themselves.
It is very likely that the Sage Chakra was already exhausted when it was transferred from Mount Myōboku to Konoha.
The same principle applies to memory transfer.
Therefore, there is a very high possibility that an accident might occur to the clone over there, and he will not be able to get the news, which will be very troublesome.
If the shadow clones pass, then Gen Takuno's gaze falls on the wood clones.
Of course, it's not the Wood Clone Technique in front of him. The Wood Clone Technique in front of him is just a Wood Clone Technique that he simulated based on many clone techniques, not the very high-level Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique from the original work.
However, since Gen Takuno has mastered a great many clone techniques, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to deduce the true Wood Clone Technique from them.
Because of its wooden structure, the Wood Clone is stronger in defense and attack than the ordinary Shadow Clone. It also consumes less energy to maintain and can adjust the amount of chakra at will, instead of forcibly dividing the chakra.
Most importantly, in the original work, the Wood Clone was able to share information with the original body in real time, achieving precise intelligence gathering. Both the First Hokage and Yamato's Wood Clone demonstrated this ability.
This is much more convenient than the method of using shadow clones, which requires dispelling them to return to one's memories.
Unfortunately, the Land of Snow is not close to the battlefield between Konoha and Kumogakure. Since shadow clones cannot transmit memories, it would be difficult for wood clones to share information with the original body in real time.
Even so, it's enough.
Wood clones are more independent because they are not entirely composed of chakra like shadow clones.
When the main body suffers severe damage, the shadow clones will also be forced to dissolve. However, once the wood clones are separated, they become completely independent entities and will not be forced to dissolve like the shadow clones.
In this way, his main body can do a lot more things without worrying that his condition will force the shadow clone left in the medical room to be dispelled.
As for other forced termination methods, there's not much to worry about; they are simply attacks that exceed the limits of what can be tolerated.
However, although some unexpected things might happen in the medical room, it is unlikely that anything too serious will happen, and the possibility of the wooden clone being forced to dissipate is not high.
Not high — but there is still a possibility.
This gave Yuan Tuoye a headache. He didn't like uncertain things, even if the chances of this happening were not high.
So, is it necessary to have a crow follow along?
He tapped the table with his finger. In reality, he didn't want to reveal that his summoned beast was a crow, but if he didn't reveal it, the crow wouldn't be able to follow the wooden clone.
It's impossible to say that he suddenly got a pet, right? Besides, other people can tell the difference between a ninja beast and a regular pet.
If the crows weren't allowed to follow the wood clones and only observe from the sky, it would be even more impossible; how could a ninja beast be allowed to appear around on the battlefield?
It's important to know that ninja beasts possess intelligence. Any unknown ninja beast that appears in the camp will inevitably be mistaken for a ninja beast summoned by the enemy to gather intelligence, and will be killed on the spot.
Therefore, the safest approach at present is to reveal that a crow is his summoned beast, and then have the crow follow the wood clone in case he needs to notify him through the summoning contract.
Yuan Tuoye recalled his other identity as a collector, the mask being an unrelated fox mask, which had basically no connection to crows.
He had always paid attention to these things, and when choosing masks, he would never choose masks that had any connection with each other, such as the Collector's Fox or the Deputy Captain of the Dark Division's Eagle.
Therefore, it seems that the crow's summoned beast is not seriously harmed.
After thinking for a while, Yuan Tuoye couldn't think of any better way, so he could only make this decision.
However, there is still a problem to be solved with this method.
He needs to research the true Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique and create a perfect Wood Clone as much as possible.
Several days later.
Yuan Tuoye looked at the wooden clone in front of him, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.
It's not difficult to deduce the true Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique. No matter how advanced it is, it can't escape the category of clone techniques, so there are always clues to follow.
Furthermore, since the Shadow Clone Technique, which is only slightly lower in rank than his, has already been perfectly mastered, it becomes even easier.
Although the proficiency of this wooden clone is still not as high as that of the shadow clone, it is sufficient for use. Moreover, even if one studies it to a deeper level of proficiency, it will not be of much use and will only be a waste of time.
Looking at the wooden clone in front of him, Yuan Tuoye suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
Since the wood clone can share information with the original body in real time, could we use this to build an information sharing network similar to White Zetsu?
The two wooden clones maintain the greatest possible distance for information sharing, and they can conceal their presence to the greatest extent possible by hiding among the trees.
If trees with wood clones were planted throughout the entire ninja world—
Yuan Tuoye narrowed his eyes, then shook his head.
Wood clones and White Zetsu are different. White Zetsu can generate chakra on its own, while Wood clones, as clones, cannot generate chakra on their own. Even if they only maintain the minimum consumption, they cannot sustain it for long.
However, this idea can be kept.
If something is found later that can replenish chakra, this plan can then be put into use.
Having solved the technical problems caused by the Wood Clone Technique, Gen Takuno was ready to devote all his attention to the research of the Lightning Release technique.
Just as he had adjusted his state and was preparing to notify Crane Wing Snow to begin a new round of spiritualization experiments, Wind Flower Raging Waves had an urgent matter to attend to.
Yuan Tuoye opened the tightly closed door.
Feng Hua Nu Tao walked in hurriedly, a serious look on his face.
"My lord, there's been a new development on the battlefield between Konoha and Kumogakure, which you've been ordering me to keep a close watch on!" Feng Hua Nutao reported directly as soon as he entered the room.
"Oh? So the two sides have started fighting again?" Yuan Tuoye frowned slightly, clearly having anticipated this turn of events, but wanting to confirm the details.
"Indeed, sir!" Feng Hua Nutao's voice was calm. "The Hidden Cloud Village has deployed a new main force this time. According to reliable intelligence, it is the legendary Eight-Tails Jinchuriki himself who has taken to the battlefield! At present, Jiraiya, one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, is leading his troops to resist with all his might. The situation seems to be quite unfavorable for Konoha."
Although Gen Takuno asked him to pay attention to the developments of this war, in reality, who wins or loses has nothing to do with the Land of Snow.
"I see—" Gen Takuno nodded calmly, not surprised by this development.
After Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki of Kumogakure, suffered a severe injury, they could no longer maintain the status quo, making it inevitable to use the Eight-Tails as their trump card.
Yuan Tuoye quickly assessed the tilt of the battlefield in his mind.
Killer Bee, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki, needs no introduction in terms of strength. Even if he hasn't reached his peak strength yet, he might not be able to suppress Jiraiya in his normal state.
However, once Killer Bee uses the Tailed Beast Mode, which is the perfect Jinchuriki mode, Jiraiya's situation becomes extremely dangerous.
Admittedly, Jiraiya also possessed the powerful Sage Mode, but its activation animation was too long, making it almost useless on the ever-changing battlefield.
This also means that with Killer Bee's powerful appearance, the Hidden Cloud Village will inevitably launch a large-scale counterattack.
Moreover, Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki, who has been resting for some time and whose injuries should have recovered considerably, is also very likely to be able to return to the battlefield.
Even if it can only unleash near-Kage level strength, it is still a considerable threat.
From this perspective, it seems that Konoha is facing numerous crises.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Gen Takuno's lips; he wasn't truly worried about Konoha.
Konoha's strength extends far beyond just one of the Legendary Sannin.
Fugaku, the Uchiha clan leader, has concealed his strength well enough that he should be more than capable of dealing with Yukito, who has not yet fully recovered.
More importantly, if the three leading figures of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio—Akimichi Choza, Nara Shikaku, and Yamanaka Inoichi—joined forces, they would be a force to be reckoned with.
Especially with his ability to multiply, Akimichi Choza is like a mobile fortress in the open environment of the battlefield, making him a game-changer.
If Ding Zuo were to learn the even more advanced Butterfly Transformation Technique, despite his shortcomings in other areas, his destructive power could even briefly rise to the level of a Kage!
At this point, with the addition of Nara Shikaku's ever-present shadow binding technique and precise strategy, as well as Yamanaka Inoichi's powerful mental perception and interference abilities, this trio could even contend with ordinary Kage-level powerhouses!
In addition, there are other seasoned and highly skilled Jonin in the Konoha army.
When these elite forces come together and unite as one, even if Killer Bee himself were to arrive, or even if his renowned Fourth Raikage brother A were to be on the battlefield, it would be impossible for them to easily break through Konoha's defenses.
After all, the Fourth Raikage's strength was, to be honest, completely inferior to that of Killer Bee. The reason he was able to intimidate Killer Bee was not because of his strength, but because of the suppression of his status. He was able to forcibly bring the freedom-loving Killer Bee back to Kumogakure.
Killer Bee, unable to defy his brother, could only hide from the Fourth Raikage.
Even the Fourth Raikage was not as strong as his father, the Third Raikage.
Only the deceased Third Raikage possessed terrifying offensive and defensive capabilities on the battlefield, capable of destroying cities and fortresses while remaining as solid as a rock, which could be considered a disaster on par with the Tailed Beasts.
If he were still alive and personally involved in this battle, Konoha would truly be in a state of utter chaos.
Faced with such a monster, even Minato Namikaze would probably have to risk activating Sage Mode to overcome its terrifying defenses.
Thinking of this, Yuan Tuoye couldn't help but shake his head slightly, dispelling these assumptions from his mind.
A more crucial question arose in his mind: with the Eight-Tails Killer Bee, a huge variable, stirring up the battle, what choice would the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, who shone with the title of "Yellow Flash" but did not personally go to the front line, make?
Takuno Minato had probably seen through Minato Namikaze's concerns.
The fundamental reason for Minato Namikaze's absence from such an important battle is probably his deep concern for the safety of his wife, Kushina Uzumaki.
He had to be wary of the dangerous person who possessed the ability to manipulate strange spatial structures, and Obito Uchiha seized the opportunity to launch another attack.
After all, Minato Namikaze was not the elderly and conservative Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
His illustrious reputation as "Golden Flash" was forged through countless battles fought in blood and fire!
Unless absolutely necessary, he would never leave his battlefield.
However, in Gen Takuno's opinion, Minato might be overthinking things.
Kushina Uzumaki is no longer completely ignorant of Obito Uchiha.
With her own "Diamond Sealing Technique," which is powerful enough to suppress the rampaging Nine-Tails, her normal strength is firmly among the elite Jonin.
If she were willing to try using some of the Nine-Tails' chakra, the energy she unleashed would be enough to make her a Kage-level powerhouse!
Kushina Uzumaki, with her potential to become a Kage and her awareness of the enemy's key abilities, was not a prey that Obito Uchiha could easily abduct.
Defeating her might not be difficult for Obito, but to capture her quickly while she fights desperately? The odds are too high!
Moreover, there is the enormous risk of provoking the Nine-Tails to go completely berserk.
Takuno even felt that the "Nine-Tails' rampage" was likely just a sinister attempt by Obito on a whim.
At this time, due to the restrictions imposed by the Gedo Mazo, the grand plan to hunt the tailed beasts had not yet been officially launched. Even if the Nine-Tails were captured, it would need to be kept in a safe place and nurtured slowly.
However, upon learning that his master's wife, Kushina Uzumaki, was about to give birth, and also knowing the weakness of the seal during childbirth, Obito Uchiha probably acted with the mindset of "doing it as a favor and not losing anything."
As for releasing the Nine-Tails directly into the center of Konoha Village, that was purely a crazy act of revenge driven by jealousy and hatred towards the teacher who "couldn't protect anyone but was happy and content," and it was an extremely irrational act.
If it weren't for this hatred, given Obito's "Kamui" dimension ability, he could have simply dragged Kushina into another dimension when she was extremely weak, and that would have been the end of it.
This not only allowed them to capture the entire Nine-Tails, thus completing part of their future plan, but also weakened the power of Konoha's tailed beasts.
Of course, the deaths of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, as well as the enormous losses caused to Konoha by the Nine-Tails' rampage, can be considered a gain. However, the fact that he did not obtain the Nine-Tails can be considered a loss for both himself and others.
Even Obito Uchiha himself probably only knew the death of Kushina Uzumaki before he took his revenge; he could never have imagined that Minato Namikaze would commit suicide for her!
Therefore, Obito Uchiha was driven by jealousy and committed a crime of passion, wanting Minato Namikaze to experience what it felt like to lose the person he cared about most.
He even forgot about his own Tailed Beast Plan —
However, Obito Uchiha should have calmed down by now. Since he has missed the best opportunity to get his hands on the Nine-Tails, he will no longer keep his eyes on Kushina Uzumaki.
It's estimated that they'll wait until the Tailed Beasts Project begins before taking action against Kushina Uzumaki again.
As for Naruto? Obito Uchiha probably didn't know that he also had half of the Nine-Tails inside him. This is still a top secret, known only to a few people.
"Will the missions at the Wind and Flower Fury and Wolf Fang Avalanche be affected?" Gen Takuno asked.
Although his departure has had some impact, he has already arranged identities for them, so as long as he doesn't interfere with Konoha, there shouldn't be any major problems.
The people of Konoha wouldn't care about the enemy.
"My lord, the numbers have indeed decreased recently, but that's due to the Cloud Village's retreat. Now that the Cloud Village has resumed its offensive, they should be able to recover," Feng Hua Nu Tao replied.
In fact, this also increased the mortality rate of the Snow Ninja who were mixed in with the Konoha teams.
However, Feng Hua Nu Tao never cared about such things. If someone died, they died. As long as it didn't delay the completion of the mission, that was fine. Naturally, he wouldn't report it to Yuan Tuo Ye.
"That's good." Yuan Tuoye nodded. His rate of energy consumption wasn't slow; only by replenishing in time could he maintain the cycle.
"Keep it up, I need to leave for a while," said Gen Takuno.
"Yes!" Feng Hua Nu Tao replied respectfully, not daring to ask what Yuan Tuo Ye was going to do.
Gen Takuno stretched. With Konoha and Kumogakure at war again, he, as a senior who had displayed a strong "Will of Fire" in front of Minato Namikaze, couldn't be absent.
If it's a performance, then you have to perform the whole thing!
Soon, using the reverse summoning technique, Gen Takuno arrived in the Land of Hot Springs and successfully handed over his previous Stand.
Then, after a long absence, he stepped out of the guest room and asked the owner some questions about the war between Konoha and Kumogakure. His expression suddenly changed.
Under the boss's gaze, filled with reluctance to part with the "fat sheep," he immediately cancelled his room reservation and left.
That way, even if Jiraiya comes here to relax in the future and happens to ask about him, the boss should be able to clearly tell him what he did here.
Although he may forget the details, he will certainly not forget the money he earned from him.
At this time, Gen Takuno also embarked on the road back to Konoha. Although he could go directly to the battlefield, he still needed to tell Minato Namikaze.
