Konoha's Hextech Ninja

To speed up this process, you must feed it food that contains a lot of energy.

Fire-type foods are best.

Alternatively, the Fire Release chakra converted by Yoruichi Yagami would also be an excellent supplement for Charmander.

“Red, you should also sign a spirit contract with Smolder.” Yagami Yoruichi took out a contract scroll.

This is a contract scroll made by Yoruichi Yagami herself. The target of the contract is not a group, but only the little fire dragon Smolder.

The only name written on it is Yagami Yoruichi's.

Charmander's strength is still a bit weak for Yoruichi Yagami, and under normal circumstances, Yoruichi Yagami would not need Charmander's help.

When she really needed a summoning beast, the slug was actually more helpful to Yoruichi Yagami.

Although slugs are not good at fighting, they are arguably the best summoning beast in the ninja world when it comes to support.

However, for Kurenai Yuhi, if she could summon Charmander, it would be an extremely powerful trump card.

A summoning beast with Kage-level strength is enough for Kurenai Yuhi to deal with most dangers in the ninja world.

“Okay.” Kurenai smiled and did not refuse. She took out a kunai, cut her finger, wrote her name on the contract scroll, and pressed her fingerprint on it.

"Little guy, I'm your partner from now on, got it?!" Kurenai reached out and poked the little dragon's head.

"Awoo~!" Charmander shook its head, and a wisp of flame emerged from its head, startling Kurenai.

"Is it skilled in Fire Release?" Kurenai Yuhi asked in surprise.

"Fire Release..." Yagami Yoruichi didn't explain, but nodded and said, "I guess so, its specialty is fire."

"Fire attribute, you taught me Fire Release, but I'm still progressing very slowly," Kurenai Yuhi said somewhat sullenly.

"Don't rush, take your time. New nature transformations aren't easy to learn. I've only barely mastered Lightning Release yet; I haven't mastered all the elemental transformations," Yagami Yoruichi said with a chuckle.

Kurenai glared at Yoruichi Yagami and retorted, "You're just showing off! I haven't even mastered a single attribute, and you're almost proficient in all of them!"

As her [Spirit] attribute increased, Yagami Yoruichi's Yin Release talent rapidly soared, allowing her to improve quickly even without spending too much time training.

The only thing that's lacking is the Lightning Release technique, which I only recently started researching.

But I've already gotten the hang of it.

With the support of numerous clones, reaching the mastery level won't take too long.

Moreover, Yoruichi Yagami also exchanged for Kennen's template to enhance her lightning attribute talent.

Before long, Yoruichi Yagami will become one of the few ninjas in the ninja world who is proficient in all seven elemental attributes.

While chatting with Kurenai Yuhi, a thought also flashed through Yoruichi Yagami's mind.

By training step by step, exchanging for new hero templates, and becoming familiar with new abilities, Yagami Yoruichi's strength will improve.

Developing new ninjutsu and other techniques can also expand the boundaries of Yagami Yoruichi's abilities.

However, this improvement seems too slow compared to the rapid progress during the previous period of superhuman abilities.

Mastering another attribute and learning dozens or even hundreds of ninjutsu simply makes Yagami Yoruichi's abilities more comprehensive.

However, it is difficult to raise the ceiling of Yoruichi Yagami's performance.

Even if the two attributes were fused into a bloodline limit, although Yoruichi Yagami has not tried it yet, she can roughly judge that a regular bloodline limit would not be of much help to her.

Even the Sharingan, a bloodline limit originating from the Otsutsuki clan, offered very little help to Yoruichi Yagami.

Even the Mangekyou Sharingan is at most an added bonus, unless one possesses a heaven-defying eye technique like Kamui.

At the very least, one would need to be able to activate the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan of the Complete Susanoo to raise the upper limit of Yagami Yoruichi's combat power.

Other physical constitutions, such as the Thousand Hands and the Uzumaki, are similar; they only work if one possesses special abilities like a Sage Body of the same level.

However, these bloodline limits cannot be obtained through attribute synthesis alone.

Without the bloodline of the Otsutsuki clan, it would be impossible to obtain.

At this level, Yoruichi Yagami is getting closer and closer to the 'ceiling of Kage-level'.

Aside from breaking through the threshold of the Six Paths level, the only things that could significantly boost Yagami Yoru's strength seem to be forbidden techniques like the Eight Gates.

or……

Sage Mode.

"How about we go to Shikkotsu Forest sometime and learn Sage Mode?"

A thought flashed through Yagami Yoruichi's mind.

In terms of combat strength, Yagami Yoruichi was confident that even if Uchiha Madara came out, he would not be her match.

In this era, apart from a few extremely powerful and immortal beings, Yagami Yoruichi can be considered invincible in the ninja world.

But you can never have too much ability.

If one cannot break through to the next level in a short period of time, cultivating the Immortal Mode seems to be a good path.

However, Yagami Yoruichi asked Katsuyu, and the threshold for the Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest is the highest among the three holy lands.

For over a thousand years, only Hashirama Senju has successfully mastered it.

Even if Yoruichi Yagami could learn it, it would take her a very long time.

At least in the initial stages of learning, this kind of thing cannot be accelerated by using a clone; only the main body can do it personally.

Once you get the hang of it and learn how to control natural energy to synthesize Sage Chakra, you can use clones to quickly improve your proficiency.

But if a lot of time is spent on the initial stages...

Yagami Yoichi glanced at Kurenai Yuhi and said, "Kurenai, I'm going to Shikkotsu Forest to learn Sage Mode. I might stay there for quite a while."

"Sage Mode?" Kurenai Yuhi stared blankly at Yoruichi Yagami.

"You can think of it as a forbidden technique." Yagami Yoruichi briefly explained the effects of Sage Mode, saying, "My current strength has reached a bottleneck. If I want to continue improving, Sage Mode is the only option."

In fact, even forbidden techniques like the Eight Gates Formation can achieve this.

But Yoruichi Yagami had no interest in learning a forbidden technique that could result in an extreme one-for-one exchange.

The Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, is indeed very powerful; Might Guy, an elite Jonin, almost killed Madara Uchiha with a single kick.

If Yagami Yoruichi were to use it, he could probably kick Kaguya Otsutsuki to death.

But no matter how powerful such a life-swapping method is, Yagami Yoruichi would never consider it.

My own life is precious; no matter how powerful the enemy, it's not worth trading my life for.

In comparison, Sage Mode is much better.

Not only can it greatly enhance strength, but if one can achieve a Sage Body like Hashirama Senju, who can instantly activate Sage Mode, it might also be able to leverage the improvement of Yang Release and break through the bottleneck of Six Paths level.

"Forbidden techniques...aren't they very dangerous?" Kurenai Yuhi asked with a worried expression.

"It's not dangerous, since Senior Slug is protecting us. It's just that this technique is very difficult, and it will probably take quite a while."

Yagami Yoruichi explained, and then said, "Don't worry, I'll come back to see you often when I'm resting."

"Then it's a deal, you have to come back often!" Kurenai Yuhi stretched out her hand and made a pinky promise.

Seeing her childlike appearance, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but smile, extending his little finger and hooking it with Yuhi Kurenai's little finger: "I promise, I'll come back as soon as I have time."

As the two were talking, suddenly, an ANBU member appeared in a flash and said urgently, "Lord Yoruichi, we have discovered important information. Please go to the Hokage Building immediately!"

"Important intelligence?" Yagami Yoruichi was taken aback, and immediately created a clone of himself to head to the Hokage Building.

……

Inside the Hokage's office.

"This information was obtained from the Fourth Raikage's brain."

Sakumo Hatake handed the data deciphered by the intelligence team to Yoruichi Yagami and said, "The Third Raikage originally planned to attack the Land of Wind in order to seize a super weapon that was said to have been sealed for hundreds of years and had the power to destroy the world. However, our plans were disrupted, so he started fighting us to the death."

"A super weapon from the Land of Winds? It can even destroy the world?"

Yoruichi Yagami was a little puzzled, as she had never heard of this in the original work.

Upon opening the intelligence report, Yagami Yoruichi suddenly felt that this place looked familiar: "Isn't this the Dragon Vein? Could it be that the Hidden Cloud Village wants to utilize the power of the Dragon Vein?"

“It doesn’t seem to be like that.” Sakumo Hatake shook his head and said, “It seems there’s another seal beneath the dragon vein. It was left hundreds of years ago and is said to be related to the Senju clan. But even the Raikage doesn’t know the specifics.”

Based on the memories extracted from the Fourth Raikage's brain, the Hidden Cloud Village found information about the 'super weapon' sealed beneath the Dragon Vein through ancient texts.

They want to invade the Land of Wind, seize this super weapon, and strengthen the Hidden Cloud Village.

It was only because Yagami Yoruichi disrupted their plans that they began to fight Konoha to the death, until their demise.

The orphans brought back from Kumogakure are still living in Konoha and occasionally cause some minor trouble.

This kind of hatred is indeed not so easy to eliminate.

However, these minor matters never reach Yagami Yoruichi's attention; they are handled by her subordinates.

However, it was the so-called 'super weapon' that Kumogakure wanted to seize that really piqued Yoruichi Yagami's interest.

It was sealed beneath the dragon vein hundreds of years ago during the Warring States period, and it is also related to the Thousand Hands clan.

Yagami Yoruichi racked her brains for a long time, but couldn't recall such a passage in the original work.

Did the Hidden Cloud Village fail to obtain it, or are the rumors false?

Or perhaps, it's part of the story about non-flammable materials?

After thinking for a long time without getting an answer, Yagami Yoruichi couldn't help but ask, "Are you interested in this so-called super weapon?"

"According to the information in the Fourth Raikage's brain, this super weapon may have the power to destroy a great ninja village, and it cannot be left unattended."

Sakumo Hatake said, "If Minato Namikaze were still alive, he would be the best candidate. However, after the sacrifice of Jonin Minato Namikaze, there are not many ninjas in the village who are skilled in sealing techniques."

The dragon vein itself was sealed.

This thing is still below the dragon vein, which can be considered a seal within a seal.

To break this barrier, one must be a master of sealing techniques.

Kushina Uzumaki, the village's most skilled sealer, is the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki and certainly cannot be this far away.

Minato Namikaze and Hiruzen Sarutobi have both sacrificed themselves.

There aren't many other powerful individuals skilled in sealing techniques.
