Chapter 146 Unlocking Lightning Release: Chidori, Blood Demon Art: Blood Explosion (Third and Fourth Updates)

early morning.

While still asleep, Xia Mu vaguely heard footsteps.

He felt a sudden urge, but did not wake up.

Soon, he felt his nose being pinched.

Xia Mu opened her eyes.

What comes into view is Kushina Uzumaki's pretty little face.

She was standing by the bed, bending down to look at him.

Why are you up so early today?

Xia Mu reached out, grasped her wrist, and moved her hand away from his nose.

"Today is the first day of the new year, so we can't sleep in."

Kushina Uzumaki said with a smile.

"I didn't sleep in; you woke up too early."

Xia Mu asked with a smile, "Did you get up so early just to tease me?"

Where?

Kushina Uzumaki smiled sheepishly and looked away.

"You should go now, Kushina."

Xia Mu sat up and said.

Why?

Kushina Uzumaki asked instinctively.

"Because I need to change my clothes."

Xia Mu blinked and said, "I think it's okay if you want to stay."

"I—I—"

Kushina Uzumaki's face immediately turned red.

She immediately turned and ran.

He made sure to close the door before running out.

Xia Mu couldn't help but smile.

He changed his clothes and left the room.

Natsuki looked up and saw Kushina Uzumaki and Nono Yakushi chatting on the sofa.

Yakushi Nonou sat very upright, but Uzumaki Kushina took off her shoes and sat cross-legged on the sofa.

From Xia Mu's perspective, you can see her fair and tender soles.

"Xia Mu, go wash up first."

When Kushina Uzumaki saw him, she waved and said, "We'll be waiting for you."

Xia Mu nodded.

After washing up, they went to Tsunade's house.

Eating breakfast at her house has become a habit and a daily routine.

After breakfast, a group of people went shopping.

For Xia Mu, the Lunar New Year is a rare time to rest.

Because he was either cultivating or busy with Akatsuki affairs.

The training I'm currently doing involves learning five Seven Escape Techniques.

Besides that, he developed Lightning Release: Chidori and learned Palm Healing Technique.

Lightning Release: Thousand Birds is a Lightning Release technique, while Palm Healing Technique is a Yang Release technique.

These two ninjutsu can also be counted among the five Seven Escape Techniques.

Xia Mu estimates that the development of Lightning Release: Chidori can be completed this month.

As for the Palm Immortal Technique, he hasn't started learning it yet.

Because it's Level A, which is quite difficult, start with the easier ones and learn the harder ones later.

Other abilities either require time or require combat.

The New Year passed quickly.

The ninjas of Konoha Village are busy again.

Xia Mu and the others were training at the Senju clan's residence.

After learning Water Breathing, the Six Styles of the Navy, and Armament Haki, Nawaki continued to learn Tobirama Senju's Water Release techniques.

After learning the Six Powers of the Navy, Kushina Uzumaki began learning Armament Haki.

Yakushi Nonou wasn't there; she and Tsunade went to Konoha Hospital.

Minato Namikaze is not there either.

He has already mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and is now continuing to study advanced ninjutsu such as the Flying Thunder God Second Stage and Flying Thunder God Lightning Guidance.

Xia Mu had previously asked him to spar after seeing that he had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he refused.

His intention was to wait until he had fully mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and all the other ninjutsu techniques before engaging him in battle at his peak.

Xia Mu thought about it and then agreed.

Defeating the stronger Minato Namikaze can trigger a stronger character template.

After all, difficulty and intensity are directly proportional.

Another two weeks have passed.

While Nawaki and Kushina were training, they suddenly heard a piercing thunderclap.

It was as if a thousand birds were chirping at the same time, creating an exceptionally noisy cacophony.

They instinctively looked at Xia Mu.

Lightning crackled around Xia Mu's right hand, its power appearing terrifying.

"Is this Lightning Release: Chidori?"

Rope Tree couldn't help but ask.

Natsuki did not avoid them when he developed Lightning Release: Chidori, so they all knew about it.

"No wonder it's called Chidori."

Kushina Uzumaki shook her head and said, "It's really noisy."

"It feels like it's going to be amazing."

Rope Tree guessed.

Just then, Xia Mu suddenly appeared in front of a tree.

His right hand stabbed at the tree like a ninja sword.

The sharp lightning sliced ​​through the bark and penetrated deep into the trunk.

A clicking sound rang out.

The trunk was pierced and then cut in half.

"This power is at least A-rank ninjutsu!"

"That's what Rope Tree exclaimed in amazement."

Kushina Uzumaki said with a smile, "This is just everyday stuff for Natsuki."

Rope Tree's lips twitched, and he was speechless.

While Lightning Release: Chidori is indeed extraordinary, it still lacks the impact of previous techniques like the Weather Stick and Moonwalk.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Kakashi Hatake's template ability three: Lightning Release: Lightning Blade.]

Xia Mu looked at the line of text in front of him and shook his hand.

As the lightning disappeared, a flood of information rushed into my mind.

The system defines Lightning Release: Lightning Blade as an improved version of Lightning Release: Chidori.

Natsuki was very confused at the time about what exactly had been improved.

Now he knew that the improved Lightning Release: Lightning Blade would no longer make a piercing sound like Lightning Release: Chidori.

To be fair, such obvious noise is actually undesirable during combat.

Because it would alert the enemy, it cannot be used for surprise attacks.

Lightning Release: Lightning Blade is different; it abandons sound and becomes silent.

Whether it's Lightning Release: Lightning Blade or Lightning Release: Chidori, you need to rush towards the enemy quickly when attacking.

Once the sound stops, the enemy won't react as easily, increasing the hit rate.

In addition, Lightning Release: Lightning Blade and Lightning Release: Chidori have many derivative ninjutsu.

For example, the kunai Raikiri used by Kakashi Hatake.

By infusing Lightning Release: Lightning Blade into a kunai, one can both increase the kunai's attack power and transform Lightning Release: Lightning Blade into a ranged attack.

Another example is the Chidori Blade used by Sasuke Uchiha.

Infusing the weapon with Lightning Release: Chidori increases its destructive power and also gives it a paralyzing effect.

There's also the Kamui Raikiri used by Kakashi Hatake.

By infusing the power of divine might into Lightning Release: Lightning Blade, once it hits a target, the affected part of the target can be sucked into another dimension.

[Congratulations, host, for unlocking Misaka Mikoto's template ability seven: True Lightning Strike.]

Another line of text appeared.

The true Lightning Strike is unlocked by developing Lightning Release: Chidori.

However, its power is greater than that of Lightning Release: Chidori and Lightning Release: Raikiri.

Xia Mu felt that it could rival the S-rank Lightning Release: Kirin.

Its effect is to generate lightning strikes between clouds and the ground by gathering thunderclouds, with a maximum output voltage of up to one billion volts.

It can be considered Misaka Mikoto's ultimate move.

"Natsuki, is that an A-rank Lightning Release technique?"

Rope Tree asked curiously.

"It's Grade A."

"That's what Xia Mu replied."

"Unfortunately, I don't know lightning release."

Rope Tree said with some regret.

"You can learn too."

Xia Mu paused for a moment, then said, "But I suggest you continue learning Water Release techniques."

Rope Tree has limited talents.

Being proficient in both swordsmanship and water release techniques is enough to establish oneself among Jonin.

In fact, most Jonin are only proficient in two things at most, and it's unnecessary to do more than that, as it would be a waste of time and energy.

This also applies to Kushina Uzumaki.

Having mastered sealing techniques and taijutsu, plus the Nine-Tails, they could all compete for the title of strongest ninja if Madara Uchiha and others hadn't emerged.

"I know."

Rope Tree nodded, clearly aware of his own limitations.

Just then, an ANBU ninja appeared not far away.

"You shall continue your cultivation."

After greeting Natsuki and Nawaki and Kushina Uzumaki, Natsuki stepped forward.

"Natsuki-sama."

The ANBU ninja bowed slightly and said, "A merchant claiming to be from the Land of Demons says he wants to see you."

Where is he?

Xia Mu raised an eyebrow and asked.

"He first inquired about your situation in the mission lobby, and was then escorted to your office by staff."

The ANBU ninja replied.

"I'll be right there."

Xia Mu nodded slightly and said.

Since he is a merchant from the Land of Demons, he must be related to Kakuzu's Dawn branch.

He hadn't expected that Kakugoto would send someone to his door directly.

But it's nothing.

It is very common to assign ninjas to specific missions.

Especially now that he's very famous, people often request him.

However, he refused them all.

The ANBU ninja disappeared, and Natsuki headed towards the ANBU base.

Upon arrival, I went straight into his office.

"Natsuki-sama."

A middle-aged man saw him and quickly stood up to greet him.

Xia Mu looked him over and realized that he was not a ninja, but just an ordinary person.

Kakuzu was indeed very thoughtful. If he had sent a ninja, it would most likely have aroused suspicion and investigation from Konoha.

But if it's an ordinary person, Konoha Village usually doesn't care.

"Lord Kakuzu asked me to give this to you."

The middle-aged man took out a scroll and handed it to him.

Xia Mu opened the scroll and began to read.

As he expected, the scroll contained information about the priestess of the Land of Demons and the daimyo of the Land of Snow.

The current priestess of the Land of Demons is Miroku, who is also Shion's mother.

But she is still very young, unmarried, and has no child.

The demon from the land of demons, the Wraith, has been sealed away for nearly a thousand years, and no trace of its escape has been found since.

However, Kakuzu discovers that an organization called the Yomi Cult is attempting a rescue.

The Land of Snow is currently very peaceful.

Feng Hua Nu Tao had no intention of usurping the throne, but he had already begun researching chakra armor.

At the same time, he also had close ties with the snow ninja of the Land of Snow.

Snow Ninja is skilled in Ice Release.

However, their Ice Release technique is not true Ice Release; it is a secret technique based on the environment.

In other words, they didn't create ice with chakra, but rather they manipulated the ubiquitous ice and snow of the Land of Snow to fight.

It's similar to the sand control technique of Sunagakure.

Xia Mu nodded slightly.

It must be said that Kakuzu did an excellent job with intelligence gathering.

It's highly likely that he also used the power of the underground black market.

"Go back now."

Xia Mu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said, "I will go to see Kakuzu in a while."

"Yes, Natsuki-sama."

The middle-aged man paused for a moment, then said, "Lord Kakuzu also asked me to convey a message that the potion for restoring energy is running low."

No wonder they sent someone to look for him.

It turns out it was because of the energy-restoring potion.

Xia Mu laughed dumbly.

Kakuzu really is a miser.

After the middle-aged man left, Xia Mu sat on the sofa and began to ponder.

He was thinking about which country to start with.

After careful consideration, he decided to take control of the Snow Country first.

The Snow Country has many advanced technologies and researchers, which will be more conducive to the development of Dawn Corporation's research department.

Besides that, there was that group of Snow Ninja.

Thanks to the favorable environment of the Land of Snow, the Snow Ninja are quite strong.

But it's only good.

In the original work, there were only three who could barely reach the level of Jonin.

Natsuki's idea was to have them serve as practice targets for Yahiko, Konan, and Nagato.

All three of them now possess Chunin-level strength, but so far, they have never participated in a battle.

Talking about war on paper is ultimately meaningless.

Letting them participate in battles will also allow them to grow faster.

After defeating the Snow Ninja, they can also recruit them into the Akatsuki organization.

A group of ninjas who did not establish a ninja village were no different from wandering ninjas.

They risked their lives for the Wind, Flowers, and Raging Waves simply to earn money and survive better.

If someone richer and more powerful than Feng Hua Nu Tao appears, they will easily switch sides.

It was also thanks to this group of Snow Ninjas that Feng Hua Nu Tao was able to rebel and usurp the throne ahead of schedule.

Of course, the Land of Demons will not give up either.

Based on Kakuzu's intelligence, the Land of Demons will most likely have to start with the Yomi Cult.

The Yellow Springs Cult is indeed mentioned in the original work.

Their leader is named Huang Quan, and he is also a rare medical ninja.

To unlock the return path for the Unohana Retsu template, you need to defeat three medical Jonin.

Medical ninjas are already scarce, so Natsuki naturally wouldn't let Yomi go.

The only problem is that the timeline is different now, so we don't know what the Yellow Springs Cult is all about.

We'll have to let Kakuzu investigate the specifics.

Unfortunately, there is only one Kakuzu.

If there were a few more Kakuzu, the Akatsuki organization could have developed much faster.

Xia Mu was not in a hurry to return to the Land of Rain.

He hoped to take Yahiko and Konan to the Snow Country after they unlocked the Blood Demon Technique.

During this time, he continued to learn the Seven Elements Ninjutsu.

If we could unlock the three-tomoe Sharingan of Kakashi Hatake's template, some things would become much simpler.

But he has to find time to go to the Land of Demons.

A week later.

Xia Mu brought the energy-restoring potion she had prepared to the metropolis of the Land of Demons.

Although the Land of Demons sounds a bit eerie, it's actually not much different from other countries.

The name "Demon Kingdom" is clearly related to otherworldly monsters called "Wangliang".

In the ninja world, the influence of the Otsutsuki clan is undoubtedly the greatest.

But besides that, there are also many special places or creatures in the ninja world itself.

For example, this otherworldly monster, or the Grim Reaper and the evil god.

Following the map provided by Kakuzu, Natsuki quickly located the branch office of Dawn Corporation.

This is a large shop with two floors, and the signboard reads "Dawn".

Xia Mu glanced around and noticed that there were many guests.

However, the branch offices do the same thing, not directly selling stamina recovery potions.

Xia Mu arrived at just the right time.

An auction is taking place here.

The auction process was also determined by Xia Mu based on her knowledge from her previous life.

Wealthy merchants and nobles sat in private rooms on the second floor.

The remaining customers stood on the first floor and shouted out prices.

Xia Mu stood there for a while, then went upstairs.

He used his electromagnetic wave sensor to lock onto Kakuzu's location.

Xia Mu pushed open the door and went inside.

Kakuzu was somewhat surprised to see him, but quickly regained his composure.

"Energy Restoration Potion"

Xia Mu handed him a spirit storage scroll and said, "The Hero's Water you gave me is now down to one-tenth."

""

"I understand. I'll give you the Hero's Water later."

After Kakuzu took the summoning storage scroll, he asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Investigate the situation of the Yellow Springs Cult."

Xia Mu said upon hearing this.

"Does the Underworld Cult exist?"

Kakuzu roughly understood his thoughts, but he didn't press the matter.

Because he gets paid to do things.

Whatever Xia Mu wants to do with the Yellow Springs Cult and Kui Liang is none of his business.

"Then I'll be going. Let me know if anything happens."

Xia Mu did not linger and turned to leave.

Time passed slowly.

May marks the beginning of summer.

On the Shadow Rock of Konoha Village.

Natsuki, Nawaki, Yakushino, and Kushina were sitting on the ground, gazing down at Konoha Village.

The four of them were tired from training, so at Kushina Uzumaki's suggestion, they came to Shadow Rock to enjoy the scenery.

"I hope that one day my portrait will appear on Shadow Rock."

Rope Tree lowered his gaze to the three head-shaped figures on Shadow Rock.

They are Hashirama Senju, Tobirama Senju, and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Only those who become Hokage are qualified to leave their portrait on the Shadow Rock.

Just as Xia Mu was about to speak, a line of text appeared before her eyes.

[Xiao Nan has unlocked the Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst.]

Subsequently, a lot of information flooded into his mind.

He mastered the Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst in an instant.

Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst has many uses.

In addition to causing blood to explode and generate high temperatures, it can also cause blood to adhere to weapons, forming burning blades.

Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst is the nemesis of demons, capable of destroying demons' Blood Demon Art and purifying demons' poison.

Unfortunately, since all the ghosts in this world originated from Natsuki, this effect becomes meaningless.

What he didn't expect was that Konan would unlock the Blood Demon Art: Blood Burst so quickly.

But this is a good thing.

I just don't know when Yahiko will be able to unlock it.

After thinking about it, Xia Mu decided to go to the Land of Rain in a couple of days to check on the situation.

He snapped out of his daze and started chatting with Nawaki and the others.

Two days later.

Natsuki left Konoha and headed to the Land of Rain.

Upon arriving at the metropolis of the Land of Rain, they headed straight for the courtyard in the south of the city.

"Ms. Natsuki!"

Xiao Nan was the first to run up to him, eagerly exclaiming, "I've mastered a new ability!"

She was very happy, and a rare smile appeared on her face.

In contrast, Yahiko was somewhat disappointed.

He not only failed to grasp the Blood Demon Technique, but he hadn't even begun to understand it, and he didn't know how to comprehend it.

After Xiao Nan finished speaking, she extended her hand.

Crimson blood flowed from her palm like water into the distance.

In mid-air, the blood suddenly exploded.

Upon landing, the ground burst into flames.

"very nice."

Xia Mu patted her head and said, "Given your excellent performance, I plan to take you out on a mission."

"Task?"

Yahiko immediately became excited and asked, "Will we encounter battle?"

"meeting."

Xia Mu nodded and said, "We'll encounter quite a few enemies this time."
