Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

Akimichi Guiyue was holding a black stick taller than himself, and it seemed that he came prepared. Yuzhen knew that this was to guard against his chakra absorption ability...

However, today he is ready to demonstrate his other abilities and implement a combat method that involves gradual progress, increasing the intensity of the situation, and applying extreme pressure.

"Thank you for letting my brother go last time, but I won't show mercy."

"Of course, war is war. Even if I die here today, I will not regret what I have done."

Hey, doesn’t this opening dialogue clearly tell who is better?

As soon as he finished speaking, the chakra in Qiu Dao Guiyue's body suddenly burst out, and then butterfly wings appeared behind him. He leaped into the air at high speed and hit Yu Zhen's head with a stick with all his strength.

clang!

A crisp collision sound suddenly rang out, but upon closer inspection, Yu Zhen actually raised his forearm to block the opponent's stick attack.

A small amount of steam came out of Yu Zhen's body, but with his physical strength, even if he used Boiling Release, it would normally be impossible for him to directly use his body to meet the enemy's metal weapons.

When Akimichi Guiyue looked behind Yu Zhen, an expression of horror and panic immediately appeared on his face. He opened his mouth wide and his jaw almost hit the ground.

A pair of chakra wings actually opened behind Yu Zhen.

The Akimichi clan has a straightforward way of thinking. Yu Zhen could guess that the opponent would use a big move as soon as the battle started, so he was prepared.

Naturally, the chakra wings behind him were just a crude imitation of their appearance, and were fundamentally different from the butterfly wings of the Akimichi clan.

His imitation was not very similar. Behind the other person were two beautifully symmetrical pairs of butterfly wings, while behind him were enlarged versions of fly wings that had been gnawed by a dog.

But no matter what, his imitation greatly shocked the enemy's psychology. Akimichi Guiyue, who was full of vigor before the battle, immediately became flustered.

Yu Zhen has not yet learned the Yang attribute transformation. Whether it is the wings behind him or the strengthened arms, they all use the chakra plundered from Akimichi Renqing.

Therefore, the battle at hand is equivalent to the eldest brother fighting against the second brother. The second brother is already confused when the fight just started, so the outcome is no longer in doubt.

Yu Zhen once again harvested a batch of Yang attribute chakra, but this time he was restrained, at least he did not turn Akimichi Guiyue into a dried human state.

This battle scene was not as good as the previous one, but due to Yu Zhen's fancy moves, it caused a greater sensation among the spectators, especially the Akimichi clan, who even thought that their secret skills had been stolen.

The final result was no different, except that it was Akimichi Guiyue who fainted.

Chapter 86: Hotter than Shadow

In the third battle that followed, since Yuzhen had plundered Akimichi Guiyue's chakra again and he was frugal and did not use up Akimichi Renqing's chakra, it was equivalent to a tragedy in which the eldest and second brothers beat the third brother together.

The outcome of the battle is no longer in doubt.

The Akimichi clan suffered three consecutive defeats, and even the confidence of the entire ninja clan was severely hit, especially the three brothers, who became more or less autistic after each round of fighting.

They were a little doubtful that they were not capable of fighting at all...

But in contrast to this tragic reality, the number of onlookers who came to watch the third battle was far greater than the second. Among them were not only ninjas from the Firefly Organization, but also many ninjas from Lingdang City.

After all, as curious as the people on Yuzhen's side were about how he won, the people on Lingdang City's side were just as curious about how the Qiumichi clan failed.

There's nothing to lose by taking a look, it's just an eye-opener. In theory, selling peanuts, drinks, and mineral water around this area could also make a small fortune.

After all, fundamentally speaking, the word "one-on-one duel" seems very frivolous. In addition, Yu Zhen turned the frivolous duel into one that only determines the winner, not life or death. This greatly weakened the bloodiness of the battle and turned it into a spectator event.

Based on this, people on both sides have become more casual about the current "war".

In other words, they can't be serious even if they want to.

Lose the war? So what if we lose the war? The worst consequence is just getting burned all over the body and a few pieces of meat steamed, not even a bloody incident.

In short, the atmosphere of the whole situation was developing in a rather strange direction, and it must be said that this atmosphere was exactly what Yu Zhen needed.

After achieving three consecutive victories, Yu Zhen felt that the most important part of the war had been completed after he finished fighting.

The township innovation enterprise "Yinghuo" has severely suppressed the stock price and investor confidence of "Qimichi Traditional Family Handicraft Workshop". After everything has hit bottom, the acquisition activities will be launched.

And after this series of battles, Yu Zhen also had some unexpected gains.

On the one hand, while training through fighting, the progress of his practice of transforming the nature of his Yang-attribute chakra is accelerating.

On the other hand, as he repeatedly displayed his Boiling Release Kekkei Genkai, his team's morale was continuously boosted. After all, force was everything, and the strength of an organization's leader could, to a considerable extent, reflect the organization's potential for development.

In short, the Akimichi clan lost as much as the Hotaru Organization gained in this series of battles.

Not to say that they have become a united force, but in any case, the internal cohesion of the organization is no longer the same as before.

For example, at this time, the Fuma clan worked hard to design and create a new weapon for the respected leader, and the clan leader Fuma Goro presented it to the emperor.

"This is?"

When Fuma Goro came to Yuzhen with the weapon on a tray, Yuzhen was still a little confused.

"Alliance Leader, after witnessing your Kekkei Genkai and the fighting style it engenders, we have carefully considered and designed this weapon to help you generate greater power and utilize your abilities more conveniently. We hope it will be of assistance to you in future battles."

"Huh? Designed specifically for me?"

Yu Zhen looked at the full-size metal arm guard that Fuma Goro was holding, and thought that no matter whether this thing was practical or not, he had to accept the other party's kindness.

He picked up the arm guard and found that it was very complicated in design. From the inside to the outside, it was layer upon layer of silk, cotton, linen, soft leather, hard leather, metal guard plates, and metal armor plates. The outermost metal armor plates were connected to each other and fixed to a more integrated and larger guard plate.

The most ingenious and complex design is that the Fengmo clan buried extremely complex pipelines inside the overall slim arm guard. These pipelines are used to better guide the flow of steam.

The air vents of those pipelines are hidden under the scales at different positions on the forearm, elbow and upper arm.

Especially the guards at the elbows, from which extend two long conical metal tubes like antelope horns, and the air vents at the very tips of the metal tubes seem to be specially designed.

To match this pair of "antelope horns", they also carved a freehand ghost face on the elbow guard.

Yu Zhen took a look and found that the way to wear it was not complicated. He put his palm into the glove under the gauntlet, tied the cable ties tightly in order, and finally fastened the outermost metal buckle.

So this full-coverage arm armor from the shoulder to the fingertips fit comfortably and tightly on Yu Zhen's arm. He only felt that the size and weight were just right. After trying to move his arm, he found that even with an extra piece of armor, it did not affect the flexibility of his arm at all.

Then he tried to use his bloodline limit, and a large amount of steam immediately gushed out from different parts of his arm armor. After getting used to it for a while, he found that because the direction of the steam was precisely controlled, he could indeed exert better force.

It is even said that the steam that has been gathered and can be ejected at high speed can allow Yu Zhen to use greater power in his attacks.

It has to be said that this weapon has both offensive and defensive capabilities, fully demonstrating the Fuma clan's high-level ninja tool-making capabilities.

Yu Zhen realized its effect, so he said to Fuma Goro: "Thank you very much for your thoughtfulness. This arm guard can greatly improve my combat effectiveness."

Of course he was not stingy with praise at such times. The Fengmo clan had put a lot of thought into him, not to mention that this was a practical weapon, not a fancy decoration.

"No, no, you're welcome. It's great that it can be put to use." Fuma Goro said with a smile.

Amid such praise, the atmosphere gradually became harmonious.

At this time, the two of them were in a newly built building. Because it happened to be a war, Yu Zhen used it as a wartime command center.

After Yuzhen finished his conversation with Fuma Goro, he suddenly heard a burst of discussion coming from the ninjas outside the corridor.

He walked out with curiosity and found that Uchiha Nanami was also there.

"What happened?"

A ninja who spoke with an accent and unclear articulation immediately said:

"Alliance leader, due to your consecutive victories, we heard that Lingdang City has given you a title. They call you 'Flame Shadow'."

The original meaning of this title is that when Yu Zhen fights, he will produce a lot of steam. After the sunlight passes through the clear atmosphere, it will cast the shadow of this steam on the ground. It leaps with Yu Zhen's battle and looks like the shadow of a huge flame.

This also means that in the battle with the Akimichi clan, as the weaker party, Yuzhen behaved more like a giant than the Akimichi ninja, so his shadow is the shadow of the invisible giant.

The origin of this title is very clear, and the imagery it conveys is also very meaningful. However, the bad thing is that this ninja has a bit of an accent...

"Flame Shadow"

Uchiha Nanami thought this was a good title. Yu Zhen was the leader of the organization, and this title was consistent with the organization's rise from ashes to fireflies...

"Flame Shadow"

Yu Zhenxin said this is not good, right? The "God of Ninja" is the Hokage, there is only one Fire, and my three Fire titles make it seem like the God of Ninja has become my little brother.

After the establishment of Konoha, how should Hashirama Senju deal with himself?

Did the First Hokage have to immediately say "I should step out of the way and let him succeed" when he met Yu Zhen?

No, no, that's too immodest.

Uh... the Akimichi clan just has a little bit of admiration for Yu Zhen, not to worship him.

All I can say is that these two people not only have auditory hallucinations, but are also very dramatic. A crappy title can add layers of weight to their minds.

…………

Two days later.

After the first phase of the battle, which consisted of just three "one-on-one duels", Lingdang City and the Qiumichi clan actually had almost no chance of winning.

Some pessimistic people have begun to consider the specific consequences of defeat.

Although the enemy seems to have shown incredible patience and kindness, no one can be naive enough to expect that this kindness will last forever.

I can't win in a one-on-one fight, and I can't defeat the opponent by ambush. So is the only option left to me is to fight a large-scale battle?

However, after several fights with Yuzhen, for some reason, Akimichi Renqing and others began to agree with his theory... There is really nothing wrong with a one-on-one fight, it's just that the three brothers take turns getting beaten.

There is nothing more fortunate than not having to see our tribe members die on the battlefield.

Therefore, maintaining the status quo is a good choice. Even if Yu Zhen wants to steal the secret techniques of the Akimichi clan, let him learn slowly. What's the big deal if he learns it?

However, among those who were full of doubts about the future, Daimyo Shimizu Kisuke was not included. He certainly had doubts in his heart, but the direction of his doubts was different from that of ordinary people.

That night, when Daimyo Shimizu returned to his bedroom alone and arranged the ninja in charge of security to a slightly farther location, he opened the window and stared at the night sky and the bright moon for a while.

Winter is about to pass, but the night is still silent, and the sounds of birds, animals and insects will not begin to play for some time.

After a while...

Thinking of this, Shimizu Daimyo suddenly opened his mouth and said softly:

"Mr. Yuzhen, are you here?"

"Mr. Daimyo, what do you want to talk to me about?"

The sudden voice behind him made Shimizu Daimyo shudder. "Huh? I just asked casually, you're really here!"

You come and go so freely, do you treat this place as your home? Do you know how to respect other people's privacy?

In fact, Yu Zhen understands very well, but he does not respect it.

"Mr. Yuzhen, your infiltration ability is indeed excellent, but... you should know that scaring people can kill them."

Daimyo Shimizu seemed to be just complaining. He didn't look dissatisfied with Yu Zhen's appearance, or he seemed to have been looking for an opportunity to talk to Yu Zhen.

"I'm sorry, I'm used to it. The people I deal with are usually ninjas. Most of the time, I don't have to consider the feelings of the ninja on the other side when I act." Yu Zhen said this. In every sense, he was telling the truth.

There's nothing wrong with it, except that he's a little bit inhumane.

Daimyo Shimizu could understand what Yuzhen said. He gave up the seat by the window and motioned Yuzhen to sit behind a low table. After Yuzhen sat down, he sat in the main seat opposite.

With the help of moonlight, Qingshui Jiyou poured a cup of tea for Yuzhen.

This person doesn't seem to be arrogant, and seems to be treating an ordinary visitor as an ordinary person... Of course, this kind of approachable way of treating people must be based on the person, and the daimyo can't be so polite to everyone.

In front of a powerful ninja like Yuzhen, Shimizu Kisuke has always had a very clear self-awareness. For this reason alone, he is much stronger than the dead Daimyo Kikyo.

I have to say that although that daimyo lived longer, he obviously lived a dog's life.

"Mr. Yuzhen, we are not much different in age. Can you guess what I have been afraid of and what I have been thinking about since I was old enough to understand?"

In terms of age, Shimizu Kisuke looks slightly older than Hane. They are roughly the same age, which is one of the reasons why Shimizu Kisuke feels Hane is a person he can communicate with.

Yu Zhen thought for a moment and naturally gave an answer:

"To survive in this chaotic world?"

"Ha, yes, that's it. This sentence summarizes it very accurately."

Yu Zhenxin said that this sentence is enough for you, but for me I have to add that I don’t seek fame and fortune.

"I know that compared to most ordinary people and most ninjas, the living conditions of someone like me are already quite good. However, no matter how good it is, we cannot escape the precariousness of life."

Shimizu Kisuke said this while shaking his head, and there seemed to be a look of reminiscence in his eyes while he spoke.

The higher the social class one comes from, the more one values ​​life. Although Yu Zhen cannot empathize with Shimizu Kiyou, he can understand his thoughts a little bit by guessing.

The pain suffered by the daimyo may not be worth mentioning compared to that of ordinary civilians, but pain is pain after all, and this little pain may be a huge matter for a "noble person" like the daimyo.

Shimizu Kiyou's childhood experiences may not be worth mentioning, but his worries are by no means unfounded.

Yu Zhen just listened to these words and took them as a joke, because he couldn't tell how much of the daimyo's words were genuine feelings and how much were just pretentious.

"As a daimyo, I have a clear understanding of the environment in which Lingdang City is located. It is just a remote small city with very limited strength..."
