Although for top Ninja, optimizing Ninjutsu and reducing the number of hand seals required to release a
Jutsu
are essential skills.
Even powerhouses like Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara always released
Jutsu
with a single hand seal.
But for the current Bai Xuan, hand seal speed is still very important.
In fact, in the Fire Shadow World, hand seals and releasing
Jutsu
are not an absolute causal relationship.
Ninja perform hand seals to convert Chakra into
Jutsu
for release.
However,
As long as a Ninja's control over Chakra reaches a certain level, they can naturally reduce the number of hand seals needed to release a
Jutsu
.
What's more,
Many Summoning Beasts can also release
Jutsu
, but how do they perform hand seals when they don't even have hands?!
The Toads of Mount Myōboku use Water Release, Danzo's Baku uses Wind Release, Temari's Kamaitachi also uses Wind Release, Hōzuki Gengetsu's Giant Clam uses Genjutsu, and so on.
Furthermore,
The Sage Toad of Mount Myōboku, the Slug Sage of Shikkotsu Forest, and the White Snake Sage of Dragon Ground Cave.
These three Sages should also be considered Summoning Beasts.
They can not only use ordinary
Jutsu
, but also Sage Art.
Not to mention Summoning Beasts, Tailed Beasts have never performed hand seals when releasing
Jutsu
.
One-Tail Shukaku's Wind Release: Drilling Air Bullet is released with just an open mouth.
The Swiftness talent doesn't just refer to movement speed, but to the entire body's agility.
Movement speed, hand seal speed, attack speed, reaction speed… all of these have been enhanced.
After quickly analyzing his current physical state, Bai Xuan's gaze also directly fell upon Hayate.
You should know that
The prompt Bai Xuan heard was: Strength, talent shared.
The word
shared
naturally doesn't mean that Bai Xuan unilaterally gained Hayate's strength and talent.
Instead, as Bai Xuan gained Hayate's strength and talent, Hayate would also gain Bai Xuan's strength and talent.
Moreover,
Bai Xuan not only has considerable physical and mental strength, but also possesses the Intelligence talent.
Canines are not stupid to begin with, and Ninja Dogs are even more so.
After sharing the Intelligence talent, Hayate's Intelligence might even be higher than that of an ordinary person.
As expected,
When Bai Xuan looked at Hayate, Hayate also looked at Bai Xuan, wagging his tail gently, lowering his head slightly, with a hint of respect and fawning in his eyes.
Hayate already understood that his changes were due to Bai Xuan.
And Bai Xuan was his master.
For his master, he only needed to be obedient, loyal, respectful, and try his best to please him; his master would not treat him unfairly.
This was Hayate's Intelligence as a Ninja Dog.
Looking at Hayate in this manner, Bai Xuan smiled and stroked Hayate's head.
Feeling his master's caress, Hayate naturally sped up his tail wagging, showing sufficient obedience and good behavior.
Only when Bai Xuan's hand left did Hayate return to normal.
[Summoning Beast: Hayate]
[Species: Ninja Dog]
[Talents: Swiftness, Scent]
[Shared Talent: Intelligence]
[Evolvable]
[Evolution Requirement: Windflower (100 plants)]
Looking at this attribute page, Bai Xuan's gaze couldn't help but narrow.
Hayate can evolve with just 100 Windflower plants?
This evolution requirement is a bit too simple, isn't it?
After muttering to himself with a hint of doubt, Bai Xuan stopped thinking about it.
Windflower is a common herb.
There are Windflower plants in the outer forest not far from Konoha Village.
It's already late today, so he'll go collect Windflower tomorrow and find out.
However, even though it was late today, there was still some time before bedtime.
During this time, he could still do some things.
For example,
Chakra extraction.
For example,
Learning Ninjutsu.
Clone Technique, Transformation Jutsu, and Clone Technique.
He could already try these three simplest and most basic Ninjutsu.
Thinking this, Bai Xuan continued to sit cross-legged, closed his eyes, concentrated, and began to extract Chakra.
About half an hour later, feeling the abnormality in his body, Bai Xuan stopped.
Chakra extraction requires the consumption of physical and mental energy.
Therefore,
It also requires careful control of the scale.
Estimating the amount of Chakra in his body, although he had no reference, Bai Xuan still felt that his Chakra volume had reached the standard of a Genin.
Opening his eyes, Bai Xuan opened the Ninjutsu scroll recording the Three Body Technique and began to read it carefully.
As the most basic Three Body Technique, Clone Technique, Clone Technique, and Transformation Jutsu are all E-rank Ninjutsu, the lowest level.
But a low rank doesn't mean useless; these three Ninjutsu are very practical.
Simple to learn and very practical.
It is precisely these two characteristics that have made these three Ninjutsu the first Ninjutsu almost every Ninja begins to learn.
Chapter 3 Might Guy
The next day, early morning.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Bai Xuan was arranging his attire in front of the mirror.
Through the mirror, the slender Bai Xuan looked truly handsome.
His features were like a painting, his eyes like stars, with a calm composure that showed he was unfazed by anything, and a relaxed indifference on his face, making him appear extraordinarily uncommon.
After organizing everything he needed to bring, Bai Xuan patted Hayate's head:
Let's go.
Woof!
Hayate responded, then wagged his tail and obediently followed behind Bai Xuan.
Then,
Bai Xuan left the house.
Walking on the road with Hayate, Bai Xuan attracted many gazes, accompanied by some sighs, praises, and discussions.
As for the reason,
It was naturally due to Bai Xuan's outstanding appearance.
Of course,
Perhaps Hayate's appearance was also very handsome, which could also be a reason.
But no matter what, it had been four years, and Bai Xuan had long grown accustomed to these gazes.
Unhurriedly, Bai Xuan walked towards the forest outside Konoha Village.
Because Konoha Ninja often came to this forest to train, this forest was actually very safe.
As for which Konoha Ninja,
It was, of course, Konoha's Proud Blue Beast, Might Guy.
This training fanatic often trained in this forest.
As for why Bai Xuan knew, it was naturally because Bai Xuan also often trained in this forest.
Furthermore,
Bai Xuan and Might Guy had a good relationship.
As expected, just as Bai Xuan arrived at the forest, a green figure stirred up a strong wind and passed by Bai Xuan.
Yo!
Bai Xuan, you're here to train!
After a passionate greeting, Might Guy continued to run forward.
Might Guy never slackened on his training plan.
A strong wind blew, kicking up a layer of dust, and the green figure quickly moved away.
Such speed was truly terrifying.
And Bai Xuan knew that Might Guy was wearing weights, a thousand pounds of weights.
If the weights were removed, Might Guy's speed could increase by at least nearly two times.
By then,
Perhaps Bai Xuan would only be able to see a green afterimage.
Actually, this wasn't very difficult to understand; not to mention that Might Guy, who opened the Death Gate, almost kicked out the ending.
Even if Might Guy only opened the Sixth Gate: View Gate, he could still use terrifying Taijutsu attacks like Morning Peacock.
It generates flames through the friction of high-speed straight punches with the air, using the shockwaves and flames formed by striking the air to deliver continuous blows to the opponent.
It is named because the flames generated by high-speed attacks form a scene in the air like a peacock spreading its tail.
Its heat evaporated the lake-like water created by Kisame Hoshigaki's Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave.
Even with Chakra assistance, to unleash such an attack with punches, the punching speed must definitely exceed the speed of sound, even reaching two or three times the speed of sound.
With such fast punching speed, movement speed naturally wouldn't be slow.
More importantly, this represented Might Guy's extremely astonishing physical abilities.
It was conceivable how weak Bai Xuan was at this moment.
After taking one last look at the green figure, Bai Xuan led Hayate into the forest.
Windflower is an herb that closely resembles a morning glory and is used to treat external injuries.
However, because its effect is not very good, it is not considered precious, and not many people pick it.
As soon as he entered the forest, Bai Xuan saw a greenish Windflower plant under a large tree.
After taking out a wooden box, Bai Xuan directly pulled up the Windflower plant by its roots, slightly shook off the soil from the roots, and then placed it directly into the wooden box.
Placing the wooden box in front of Hayate, Bai Xuan directly instructed:
Remember the scent of the Windflower, and when you find it, don't move; just call me over.
Listening to Bai Xuan's instructions, Hayate also sniffed the scent of the Windflower.
