About half an hour later, Konan put down the Chakra Extraction Technique, crossed her legs on the stool, and closed her eyes.
Clearly, she was preparing to begin extracting chakra.
Seeing this, Hayato Ren showed a faint smile on his face, then took out the Flying Thunder God scroll and began studying it intently.
Among the ninjutsu in the Book of Sealing, the Flying Thunder God held the greatest attraction for Hayato Ren.
After all, it was the legendary Space-Time Ninjutsu.
Of course, the Reanimation Jutsu was also very powerful. However, it wasn't very perfected yet.
Even if cast, it could only summon less than one-tenth of the deceased's original power.
It would only display its true effectiveness after improvements by Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto later on.
Otherwise, Senju Tobirama wouldn't have been killed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku along with the Second Raikage. He could have just used the summoning technique and flattened the Hidden Cloud Village.
But so far, Hayato Ren still hadn't comprehended anything.
The Flying Thunder God's difficulty was simply too high, which was why only Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato in the entire Shinobi World could use it independently.
Hayato Ren still had a long way to go if he wanted to master it.
About twenty minutes later, Konan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Hayato Ren with surprise, saying:
"Brother Ren, I think I've extracted chakra."
Hearing this, Hayato Ren immediately put down the scroll in his hand, quickly walked over to Konan, and grasped her right hand.
Under Hayato Ren's perception, a faint stream of chakra had indeed appeared within Konan's body.
"Konan is truly a genius, extracting chakra so quickly. You'll definitely become a great ninja in the future."
Hearing Hayato Ren's praise, Konan immediately showed a bright smile on her face.
"Not at all, it's because you taught me well, Brother Ren."
Hearing this, Hayato Ren couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Compared to someone who extracted chakra in less than half an hour, it had taken him a full day to extract chakra back then.
Although it wasn't considered poor performance, it certainly couldn't be called genius-level.
But then again, the current Hayato Ren possessed Jonin-level combat ability even without relying on Charizard.
Having such strength at this age meant he was no ordinary person either.
Next, Hayato Ren took out Chakra Paper and handed it to Konan.
"This is Chakra Paper. Input your chakra into it and you'll know your chakra attributes."
Konan nodded, then carefully channeled her chakra into the Chakra Paper.
After a short while, the Chakra Paper in Konan's hand began to change.
The Chakra Paper in Konan's hand divided into three areas: one area became wet, another area crumbled, and the final area split directly in half.
Combined with the Yang attribute Hayato Ren had just detected, this meant Konan naturally possessed four attributes: Water, Earth, Wind, and Yang.
In terms of chakra attributes, she could be considered exceptionally talented.
After learning this, Konan became even happier.
In her view, she should be able to quickly become an outstanding ninja and then be able to help Hayato Ren.
Next, Hayato Ren began teaching Konan the most basic Three Body Technique.
As for Konan's signature Paper Style in the future, Hayato Ren had no clues about it because this Bloodline Limit had never appeared in the Shinobi World.
It was probably similar to Hashirama Senju's Wood Style - a Bloodline Limit developed by Konan herself.
...
Looking at the Stone Ninja camp in the distance, Orochimaru observed the situation for a moment before directly issuing the attack command.
At Orochimaru's command, a squad consisting of twenty Jonin and forty Chunin boldly charged toward the Stone Ninja camp.
Meanwhile, the Stone Ninja responsible for reconnaissance quickly discovered the Leaf's attack, but by the time they frantically sounded the alarm, it was already too late.
Because the Leaf's vanguard squad had already breached the Stone Ninja camp, creating massive chaos.
The Stone Ninja side had no knowledge of the Leaf's attack plan - they never dreamed Orochimaru would choose to attack during daytime.
Therefore, the Stone Ninja immediately fell into chaos. However, they soon organized their forces and launched a counterattack against the Leaf, causing the battle to become a tug-of-war.
At this moment, Orochimaru, who was supervising the battle from the rear, suddenly bit his index finger and forcefully slammed it onto the ground.
With a "boom," a giant snake as tall as a small hill emerged, carrying Orochimaru on its head as it appeared on the battlefield.
This enormous snake was naturally Orochimaru's Summoning Beast, Manda. However, Manda didn't seem very respectful toward Orochimaru.
"Orochimaru, this time I need one hundred sacrifices."
Manda flicked its massive forked tongue as it made its demand to Orochimaru.
Given the critical moment of the battle, Orochimaru didn't bargain with Manda, simply responding:
"You can eat all the enemies this time."
"Same rules as always - those I eat don't count toward the sacrifices."
"I understand."
After confirming the deal, Manda joined the battle with Orochimaru riding on its head.
A Stone Ninja had just thrust his kunai into an enemy's body when, before he could even feel pleased, his body was covered by a massive shadow.
Simultaneously, an incredibly foul, fishy odor suddenly filled his senses.
When he turned to look, he saw a gigantic mouth coming straight for him.
"This ninja's flesh is too tough. The sacrifices you prepare for me can't be this low-quality stuff."
After devouring the unfortunate Stone Ninja, Manda complained discontentedly to Orochimaru.
Clearly, the bodies of Stone Ninjas, weathered by years of wind and sand, didn't suit Manda's taste.
Faced with the "picky" Manda, Orochimaru could only roll his eyes helplessly.
If this attack weren't so crucial, he wouldn't have summoned this insatiably greedy creature.
However, Manda's power and intimidation were clearly worth its price.
After this brutal scene, the Stone Ninja's morale immediately plummeted to rock bottom.
Some Stone Ninja even trembled as they dropped their weapons, exclaiming:
"This is ridiculous, how can we possibly fight that kind of monster?"
Then they turned and fled without hesitation.
But this deserter hadn't gotten far before a Jonin from his own side decapitated him with a single strike.
This scene made many Stone Ninja who had been considering retreat reaffirm their determination to fight.
