Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Thinking of the eye technique on the Mangekyou Sharingan in his hand, Itachi's gaze sharpened. He put his straw hat back on and, amidst the tinkling of wind chimes, headed off into the distance.

Kisame, observing this, asked in surprise, "Itachi, this is a rest period before a mission. Weren't we supposed to stay here for a few days? Where are you going?"

"Do something."

Kisame grinned: "The leader has instructed that Akatsuki members cannot act alone; they must go in pairs. Since you have things to do, I'll give up my vacation and go with you."

"Whatever you want," Itachi said without turning his head.

Chapter 139 Being able to associate with Lord Yu Yi is a blessing we've earned in our entire lives.

Suoqian Village.

The village has been much quieter than usual these days because the clan chief recently brought back a big thing.

The adults went to the former Sky Village, known as Angkor Fortress, which will become the new Lock Village in the future, to carry out renovation work and to assign new residences.

The children followed along with great enthusiasm, excitedly exploring this sky city.

Also here, Yu Yi Xuan Yue flung a reckless boy who had deliberately run to the edge of the fortress, leaned most of his body out, and shouted loudly at the sky behind him.

Watching the boy and his companions flee in a panic, looking like they'd been caught doing something wrong, Yu Yi Xuan Yue shook her head, too lazy to pay attention to these energetic brats. With a flick of her hand, she unfurled the huge scroll she had specially brought.

After a puff of white smoke, a large amount of extremely valuable barrier materials came into view.

Barriers, like sealing techniques, are something that only a very few forces can master.

In the entire ninja world, only the five great ninja villages are capable of setting up a barrier that covers the entire village and integrates various functions.

Other factions, such as the Tsuchigumo clan and the Fire Temple, either have limited space or rely on the help of major ninja villages to set up even basic barriers around their settlements.

Suoqian Village used to have its own barrier, but its power was limited and its quality was average.

Now that Yu Yi Xuan Yue has returned and is using Angkor Fortress as the next place for the Yu Yi clan to settle down, her actions will naturally not be too stingy.

I still want to thank Danzo and Root.

At this moment, Yu Yi Xuan Yue was not only here, but also had three other shadow clones distributed in the three directions of the fortress: east, west, south, and north. They were quickly setting up the barrier materials they had scavenged from the root.

Of course, one can also clap one's hands together to actively cast a barrier spell.

However, this means the barrier's existence is limited, and it requires barrier-related materials and meticulous planning to ensure its longevity.

In addition, maintaining the barrier's operation itself requires a constant expenditure of money.

This is also why many small ninja villages simply don't set up barriers.

As an intelligence organization active in the ninja world, Susakaki Village still has a considerable income, so there's no need to invest money in maintaining the barrier after Yui Gengetsu.

and so.

A quarter of an hour later.

With herself at the center, Yu Yi Xuan Yue and her three shadow clones rapidly formed hand seals, having already inscribed dense arrays of barrier spells within a 20-meter radius and placed the corresponding materials in the correct locations.

In an instant, the barrier spell on the ground lit up with a dazzling light.

Huge pillars of light rose successively from the four directions of the fortress: east, west, south, and north.

With a "snap," Yu Yi Xuan Yue clasped her hands together one last time and softly called out:

"Barrier Technique: Four Extremes Concealing and Restricting Array!"

At this moment, atop the fortress, amidst the proud gaze of all the villagers of Sukuzen Village, the astonished stares of the former fortress-guarding ninja who had been brought here without knowing why, and the reverent gaze of Shennong who had come to appease them, and also under the intense watchful eyes of Sasuke, who was maintaining order and security at the fortress.

Four enormous light curtains, representing the earth, fire, wind, and water attributes of chakra, rose from the east, west, south, and north directions of the fortress, completely covering the massive fortress. The four attributes of chakra intertwined on the formed barrier, like a rainbow, making it look exceptionally beautiful.

A full quarter of an hour passed before the colors of the four elemental chakra on the barrier gradually faded.

Everything seemed like an illusion, and the area around the fortress returned to its former state.

However, those on the fortress were unaware of this.

If the people still in Suoqian Village looked up at this moment, they would find that the fortress that was hanging overhead had disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The barrier called "Four Extremes Concealment Array" is a new ability that Yu Yi Xuan Yue added to the "Four Extremes Concealment Array," granting the user the ability to become invisible.

Only the barrier on the fortress remains intact, so in the future, the village of Sukamae will not only be able to defend against attacks from the four elements of earth, fire, wind, and water without taking damage, but will also be able to remain invisible at all times.

Unlike before, when they returned, to prevent people on the ground from discovering the fortress in the sky and exposing their intelligence, Yu Yi Xuan Yue basically made the fortress stay hidden during the day and be active at night, except on cloudy days.

"The barrier is successfully completed. Next, we need to gradually relocate Suoqian Village here," Yu Yi Xuan Yue pondered.

In the absence of fleeing, the relocation of a clan is never a simple matter of packing up and leaving.

Moreover, Susakaki Village itself also undertakes the work of an intelligence organization.

After moving the headquarters to the sky, the intelligence work will need to be re-planned in terms of how it will be conducted, in what form, and personnel allocation.

Fortunately, I didn't need to do these things myself; I could leave them to Elder Muting and his subordinates.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue glanced one last time at the barrier that had vanished into nothingness and was secretly protecting the village, then flashed away and left the fortress.

at the same time.

Shennong witnessed the entire process of the barrier's formation.

Knowing that this was the work of one person, unlike other ninja villages that mobilized numerous barrier-wielding ninja teams and expended considerable effort to achieve a similar effect, he paused for a moment in stunned silence, then suddenly burst into laughter at the air ninjas who were lost and unsure of their path ahead:

"Look! This is just the tip of the iceberg of the legendary Yu Yi Xuan Yue's abilities. I've told you many times, the greatest skill I've learned in the past fifty years is to be pragmatic! You must be pragmatic!"

"Like right now, being able to associate with Lord Yu Yi is a blessing we've earned in our entire lives!"

The air ninjas who were inexplicably abducted look at each other.

Since their leader had said so, and having witnessed Yu Yi Xuan Yue's power, they no longer had any complaints and could kneel down in peace.

At that moment, Shennong, who looked every bit the lackey of Yu Yixuanyue, gave the order with satisfaction:

"Very good. Lord Hagoromo recently issued a mission to train the ninjas of Sekimae Village to operate flying ninja tools. Now, everyone, do your best."

All the air ninjas had no objections and quickly integrated into the village of Kusama.

Suoqian Village, the above-ground experimental base.

The fortress is undergoing major infrastructure construction. After completing her tasks, Yu Yi Xuan Yue returned here to continue her cultivation and experimental work.

Gulu~Gulu~

The clone that previously made a name for itself in the Land of Fire is now soaking in a nutrient tank, repairing the damage it sustained along the way.

As for the Mangekyou Sharingan that belonged to Shisui, it had already been taken out and was also soaking in a container, which was placed on Hagoromo Gengetsu's table.

"The practice of using clones with Uchiha cells to house the Mangekyou Sharingan to accelerate Yin Release chakra research is indeed proving to be quite effective."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue felt that she had gained a lot more understanding of Yin attribute chakra than before. In particular, the fierce battle with Guy not only made her more proficient in the operation of the Mangekyou Sharingan, but also made great progress in the transformation of Yin attribute properties. She nodded in satisfaction.

Yin-Yang Escape

Thinking of the great gains in Yin Escape this time, and combined with the continuous progress in Yang Escape, Yu Yi Xuan Yue suddenly had a certain eagerness to try.

He slowly extended his palm.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 140 Seeking the Dao Jade: Yin Yang and Five Elements

Yu Yi Xuan Yue extended her right hand, palm facing upward.

Using Yin-Yang Release, unlike the black rods he had created before, a pitch-black sphere the size of a ping-pong ball appeared in his palm.

The first step is to use Yin-Yang Escape Technique to create a physical form, thus completing the process.

The second step is to add high-density chakra of the seven attributes of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements.

With a thought, Yu Yi Xuan Yue channeled the chakra of the seven elements—Yin, Yang, Fire, Earth, Wind, Water, and Lightning—into the black sphere created by Yin-Yang Release.

This is not an easy task.

It requires the individual to have an extremely deep understanding and mastery of the nature changes of the seven elemental chakras in order to peacefully gather the seven elemental chakras that are mutually restraining and would become violent upon contact.

Even Yu Yixuanyue, an expert in this field, spent a considerable amount of time on this step, maintaining focused attention throughout the entire process and not daring to be distracted for even a moment.

Even so, just a few seconds after the second step was completed, the black sphere, which had automatically floated up after incorporating the seven attributes of Yin-Yang and Five Elements chakra, became extremely unstable.

After a tremor, the black ball suddenly exploded.

A deafening roar sounded.

The seemingly small black sphere unleashed power in an instant that was in no way inferior to an S-rank ninjutsu.

Having anticipated this, Yu Yi Xuan Yue reached out and used her Netherworld Escape technique to absorb all the power generated by the black sphere's explosion.

Afterwards, apart from the pages of the documents on the table being turned by the aftershocks of the explosion, everything in the laboratory was as usual.

"Still not working?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue sighed softly.

His actions just now were a special ninjutsu called "Truth-Seeking Balls," created by him based on his understanding of Yin-Yang, Five Elements, and Seven Attribute Chakra.

The so-called Seeking the Dao Jewels refer to the black floating spheres that automatically float behind Six Paths level figures.

It can take the form of a black sphere or freely transform into various weapons for the caster to use.

Because it possesses the full power of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements, the Truth-Seeking Ball can easily unleash power that surpasses Bloodline Limits and Bloodline Elimination.

It is worth noting that it does not belong to the bloodline limit, but is marked as "ninjutsu" in the Book of Formations.

Although those who advance to the Six Paths level will automatically generate Seeking Jade.

However, before that, because Truth-Seeking Balls were "ninjutsu," people could also create Truth-Seeking Balls using their own seven types of chakra.

For example, Hagoromo and Hamura when they were young.

But in the entire ninja world, only these two people are capable of creating Truth-Seeking Balls.

Until Shippuden ended, no one else was able to reach this level.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue's attempt just now also ended in failure.
