Naruto: My setting is above yours.

The transformation of the illusory into the real is precisely the creation of something from nothing.

Genma couldn't help but think of the Sharingan's Izanagi technique.

He thought for a moment and asked, "Second Hokage, bloodline limits are formed by the fusion of two nature transformations. So, is the Sharingan formed by the fusion of Yin Release and Yang Release nature transformations?"

The question jumped a bit too quickly, but Tobirama Senju immediately replied, "You could say that."

He frowned and said, "The awakening of the Sharingan is a special Yin Release chakra that is born after the mind is stimulated and acts on the visual nerve. It is a combination of Yin Release chakra and the physical body. It can also be said to be a fusion of Yin Release and Yang Release nature transformations, but Yin Release is dominant."

When it comes to understanding the Sharingan, even members of the Uchiha clan might not surpass him!

Hearing Tobirama Senju's explanation, Genma thought to himself, "Just as I expected."

He had only speculated before, but now that Tobirama Senju had given a positive answer, the answer must be correct.

Looking at the Rinnegan, its true method of activation is the combination of the powers of Indra and Ashura, one of whom inherited the Yin Release power of the Sage of Six Paths, and the other inherited the Yang Release power.

The Rinnegan is basically confirmed to be formed by the fusion of Yin and Yang properties. Unlike the Sharingan, the Yin and Yang are in a balanced state, with neither one being dominant.

Therefore, having the Rinnegan, one naturally masters the Yin-Yang Release technique.

For example, manufacturing black rods.

Chapter 59 The Ambitious One (Fourth Update)

Genma benefited greatly from his exchange with Tobirama Senju.

Creating a psychic 1.0 version was absolutely the right choice.

After this exchange, Xuanma became even more determined to master the Yin-Yang Escape Technique first.

Having mastered the Yin-Yang Release technique, and then mastered Earth Release, Water Release, Wind Release, and Fire Release, plus the Lightning Release already mastered, then mastering the Truth-Seeking Balls would probably be a natural progression.

Of course, Xuanma knew that mastering the Yin-Yang Escape Technique was extremely difficult.

After all, since the existence of chakra in the ninja world, there has only been one person who, without the Rinnegan or being the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, has mastered the Truth-Seeking Balls: Hamura Otsutsuki.

But he is Kaguya Otsutsuki's son!

Even a master like Tobirama Senju, who developed various forbidden techniques, failed to master the Yin-Yang Release technique, which speaks volumes.

For Genma, as long as he can correctly understand the Yin-Yang Escape Technique, then the rest can be left to the setting book.

Time passed day by day.

As the war outside intensifies, Xuanma's stats keep increasing, though the amount given each time is small, it's a continuous stream.

This also shows the intensity of the war.

After a five-day rest, the Shuo Mao squad faced a new mission.

Xuanma's outfit is different this time. In addition to the vest-style armor and forearm guards that he already has, he has added upper arm guards and shoulder guards.

In addition, he also carried a ninja sword.

The short sword "Ranga," a gift from his father, was tucked into his lower back, while the new long sword "Miko" was carried on his back.

Miko is also a chakra sword, and its chakra metal content far surpasses that of the Ranga short sword, with a price as high as 7 million ryo.

According to the shop owner, it is the most expensive chakra sword currently sold in Konoha, and it is also a famous sword. It was made 5 years ago by a master swordsmith from the Land of Iron.

The name Mi Hu originated from the person who forged the sword, not from Xuan Ma himself.

The reason I bought another chakra blade is that I suddenly became rich, and there's no point in just leaving the money sitting there.

One was that his body was growing larger and his strength was increasing, and Xuanma felt that the Lan Ya short sword was a little lighter.

Furthermore, it's always good to be prepared; if the Lan Ya short sword breaks, there will be a spare.

After all, Kakashi's short sword was broken by Iwa ninja during the Battle of Kannabi Bridge.

Genma's appearance immediately drew the attention of Shizune and Aoba Yamashiro.

"Xuanma is getting more and more outrageous!"

Yamashiro Aoba offered a slightly sarcastic comment.

Shizune asked in confusion, "Huh, why are you carrying two ninja swords?"

Sakumo Hatake was also curious, as the swordsmanship he taught was suitable for short swords and wouldn't become unsuitable just because someone grew taller.

Xuanma laughed and said, "An inch longer, an inch stronger. Besides, my reaction is fast enough to further leverage my advantages."

Sakumo Hatake praised, "A very good consideration."

He doesn't need his disciples to blindly follow his path; he's happy to see them innovate and develop.

"It's about time, let's go!"

At a command, the squad ended their chatter and set off.

As usual, Sakumo Hatake began explaining the mission details after leaving the village.

The destination is the western border of the Land of Fire, specifically the area where the Land of Fire, the Land of Grass, and the Land of Waterfall meet.

The border situation became complicated as soon as the war broke out. Even though no other forces are currently at war with Konoha, the impact has already spread.

Unidentified forces have begun to infiltrate from the border.

"Sakumo-sensei, that direction is most likely towards Iwagakure, right?"

After Sakumo Hatake finished explaining the mission details, Aoba Yamashiro immediately spoke.

Sakumo Hatake said, "Don't rush to conclusions, even though this is the most likely possibility."

Shizune asked in confusion, "Iwagakure is clearly at war with Sunagakure, so why are they harassing us?"

Yamashiro Aoba speculated, "Perhaps it's to gather intelligence, detect our movements, and guard against us?"

Xuanma said, "Qingye, I think you're too conservative."

"Perhaps Iwagakure is preparing to invade the Land of Fire."

"After all, for Iwagakure, the interests of the Land of Wind are limited to the north. Venturing deep into the heart of the Land of Wind is just a vast desert, which is not worthwhile."

"The Land of Birds, as a buffer zone, is itself within the sphere of influence of Iwagakure."

"The Land of Fire is different. It is rich in resources and has many surrounding small countries, making it a suitable direction for expanding its influence."

The core factor that triggered the Ninja World War was self-interest.

What are the benefits for the ninja village?

Occupying other countries' territory?

Obviously not.

It's a mission-based hiring!

If Konoha's power is confined to the Land of Fire, then the surrounding small countries without ninja villages will naturally belong to Iwagakure and its allies. They will be responsible for all the mercenary missions and the daimyo's funding.

Furthermore, if Konoha's influence is further reduced, it may even lose its mercenary missions to the Land of Fire and the Daimyo's funding.

Genma remembered that after the Third Shinobi World War, the Daimyo's government in the Land of Wind reduced its funding to Sunagakure, and the Fourth Kazekage became a gold digger to obtain development funds for the village.

For the daimyo of various countries, having their own hired henchmen is of course the best.

But if all else fails, it's also an option to pay someone else to hire thugs.

After listening to the students' analysis, Sakumo Hatake concluded, "The analysis was all very good."

"Then, aside from this mission, we can try to capture prisoners. Aoba, I remember you have a secret technique for reading memories. We can try to get some information."

Yamashiro Aoba nodded: "Yes, although I'm not very proficient yet, I will do my best!"

Sakumo Hatake nodded, then shouted, "Speed ​​up! Let's get there before dark!"

"learn!"

Genma and the other two responded in unison, and then sped up to catch up with Hatake Sakumo ahead.

The journey was tedious, so the team only rested for an hour at noon before continuing.

As the sun was setting, and they were still some distance from the border, Sakumo Hatake, who was at the front, suddenly raised his hand and stopped.

Genma then positioned himself to the right of Hatake Sakumo, and casually placed his right hand on the hilt of the sword at his right lower back.

Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune stopped and landed on the tree branch.

A barely perceptible whooshing sound rang out from the woods.

Xuanma's gaze sharpened: "Quite a few, eleven people!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a sharp whistling sound rang out.

咻咻 咻 ~

That was a large number of ninja tools being thrown.

The newcomer not only didn't greet them, but also started attacking them!

"Teacher, please help me hold the line!"

Xuanma spoke, then raised his left hand vertically.

bang bang bang~

Four shadow clones appeared, while Hatake Sakumo had already fired shuriken, blocking all the ninja tools heading straight for them.

Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune on the tree branches waved their kunai in defense.

Immediately afterwards, accompanied by the sound of electricity crackling, the forest was illuminated.

The five Xuanma warriors wielding swords vanished from their original positions in an instant.

"Ah~"

The screams were sharp and short.

A ninja who had emerged from behind a tree on the left, attempting a sneak attack from the side, collapsed, clutching his neck.

Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune looked over and saw several black horses flashing and darting through the woods. Each time they stopped, a scream rang out, followed by corpses falling to the ground.

Sakumo Hatake did not make a move, but his gaze was fixed on the entire battlefield, ready to intervene at any moment.

But it's clearly not necessary.
