Chapter 118 Earth Vein Perception, Technique
Chapter 109 Earth Vein Perception, Technique
When I left the Hokage Building, it was about 9:30 in the morning.
At the hospital, the director has approved the use of the shadow clone to take over the shifts.
After a moment's thought, Xingyuan Qianshuo decided not to return to the hospital and turned to walk towards the third training ground.
Since we have some free time, why not let the main body also have a good time cultivating?
Autumn is deepening in the training ground.
The leaves are turning yellow, and withered leaves occasionally drift down in the wind. The river is crystal clear, flowing gently and reflecting the sparse sunlight.
Silently, she practiced water polo control by the water's edge, each hand holding a water polo ball the size of a soccer ball.
Her small face was tense, her expression focused, as she tried her best to shape the water balloon into a perfect round shape and keep it stable.
Hanfang calmly touched a half-inch thick wooden board with his index finger, his fingertip swirling with chakra as he slowly carved the names of commonly used medicinal herbs.
Hyuga Tetsu squatted in front of a sandy area, his expression serious. He was drawing his own portrait with the chakra surging in his palm, but the crooked lines could only barely make out a human face.
Nohara Rin sat quietly on a rock, her gaze gentle, her breathing steady, her hands clasped together, and a pure white feather floated slowly in her palms.
It is worth noting that the four of them were wearing ropeless wooden clogs while they were practicing.
Such a unique training method is probably unique in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
Fortunately, the location was secluded, and there were no onlookers at the moment.
As Xingyuan Qianshuo approached, the group was still focused on their cultivation.
Only the shadow clone beside him had already noticed, glanced at him, and then ignored him.
At this moment, Jingyin noticed him, hurriedly got up, and the two water balloons in her hand fell back to the ground with a "splash".
"Master, you've arrived?" Jingyin greeted him, shaking her wet little hands.
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at the Shadow Clone Teacher next to her with some embarrassment, and thought to herself: Shadow clones are really amazing, I want to learn this in the future.
The other three stopped their cultivation upon hearing the sound and turned to look.
Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded to them, then formed a hand seal and dispelled the shadow clone.
The memories and some remaining chakra instantly returned to the body.
After numerous attempts, it was found that when a perfect-level shadow clone is actively deactivated at close range, it can recover approximately 40% of its remaining chakra if consciously guided.
If the attack is passively deactivated, only about 15% can be recovered. As for long-range attacks, there is no recovery effect at all.
While it can't compare to Naruto's Shadow Clone Jutsu, which can fully restore Sage Chakra, it's still a significant improvement.
What he lacks is perhaps the "quality" of his chakra; he needs a stronger resonance.
After receiving the memories and experiences, he had a slight thought and opened the system interface, where a new column appeared: "Earth Vein Perception Technique (Beginner: 137/500)".
This was the result of the shadow clone's previous attempts at cultivation; fortunately, it seemed to have some talent in this perception technique.
He looked up at the other side of the training ground—in the shadow clone's memory, he had sensed eight ninjas practicing there.
After a moment's thought, he squatted down again, touched the ground with his index finger, closed his eyes, and concentrated.
Chakra flowed from his fingertips, undergoing a subtle change and establishing a mysterious connection with the Earth's magnetic field.
This change is similar to the "Chaos Body Rush" technique he obtained from Tsunade, which can convert chakra into electrons and generate an electric field.
The "Earth ley line sensing technique" transforms chakra into a form that aligns with the Earth's magnetic field.
With his eyes closed, he first clearly sensed the four students beside him.
He then meticulously mobilized more chakra, expanding his perception range to the entire training ground.
Besides them, there were eleven other people in the arena: three were cultivating on their own, and eight were gathered together.
"One Jonin, one Chunin, and six Genin."
Of the eight people gathered together, the Jonin and Chunin stood side by side, while the other six were engaged in a chaotic battle.
"Perhaps it's a team participating in tomorrow's Chunin Exams, and they're doing a simulation exercise," Hoshino Senju secretly speculated.
As one extends their perception further afield, the chakra gradually dissipates, as if disappearing into a fog.
"Can it only cover this far? Less than a kilometer—" He frowned slightly, somewhat dissatisfied.
The four members of the Shizune group stood quietly to the side. They had seen their Shadow Clone Master train in this way and knew it was a sensory ninjutsu.
Xingyuan Qianshuo opened his eyes, stood up, and looked at them: "How's your cultivation going? Any thoughts?"
"Master, although I've made some progress, it still feels so difficult," Shizune said, her tone slightly coquettish.
The other three nodded slightly.
"Cultivation cannot be accomplished overnight." Xingyuan Qianshuo said calmly, "Ninja training is often measured in years, so one must avoid being overly ambitious."
"Yes, Master," Jingyin stuck out her tongue and bowed her head in response.
The four of them already possessed exceptional chakra control among their peers, and with the added blessing of "Benevolent Heart Inheritance," their talents reached an even higher level.
Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered for a moment, recalling the scene of assisting Tsunade in casting the Rasengan, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
"Silence, try controlling the water sphere again," he said.
Although Jingyin didn't understand why, she obediently agreed.
The group arrived at the riverbank together.
Silently dipped her hands into the river water, drawing out two water spheres the size of soccer balls. She flipped her palms over, trying to maintain their shape and resist the effects of gravity.
At this moment, Xingyuan Qianshuo stretched out his right hand, and chakra threads suddenly emerged from the tips of his five fingers, connecting several acupoints on Shizune's torso and arm.
Chakra was channeled into her body, and Shizune was slightly startled, causing the water sphere to sway gently.
"Stay focused and calmly feel the flow of chakra within your body," Hoshino Senju's voice was calm and clear.
Immediately, he meticulously manipulated the chakra within Shizune's body, guiding it to his hands to control the two water spheres.
The water sphere first became perfectly round, then transformed into a cube, a cuboid, a cone—and even rapidly spun into tiny water tornadoes, catching the spilled water steadily.
Under his control, the water sphere in Shizune's hand seemed to come alive, moving and obeying him.
After a dozen or so breaths, he said, "Alright, I'm stopping now. Try feeling it for yourself."
"Yes, Master!" Jingyin's voice was filled with excitement, her eyes sparkling.
Xingyuan Qianshuo removed the chakra threads, and Shizune tried to control the water sphere again.
"Yes, you've made some progress." He nodded slightly.
Turning to look at the other three, they also looked eager to try.
So, Xingyuan Qianshuo followed the same method, using chakra threads to guide the three in training to carve words in the air, draw in the sand, and float feathers.
After taking turns, everyone gained some insights, and while their bodies still had the memory, they all focused on practicing.
Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled and nodded. A self-motivated student is indeed easy to manage, and even supervision is unnecessary.
As for his own cultivation, he pondered for a moment, then formed hand seals to create two shadow clones, ordering them to go to a distant place to practice the water and wind ninjutsu he had memorized yesterday.
The main body then walked to the side and sat down on a rock.
He focused his mind and gently touched the rock surface with his right hand. Chakra surged in his palm, and a pattern mark slowly emerged on the rock surface: one or two concentric circles and six symmetrical straight lines running from the inside out.
It is the "Flying Thunder God Technique" created by Tobirama Senju.
Xingyuan Qianshuo raised his hand, frowning as he stared at the pattern—it only lasted a few seconds before vanishing without a trace.
"call----"
He let out a long breath, thinking to himself, "It really wasn't easy. Even with all my strength, I could only maintain it for such a short time."
Tobirama's Flying Thunder God Technique contains the power of Yin Release and the principles of sealing techniques. It appears simple, but in reality, it is composed of countless intricate runes.
Based on his previous experience, Xingyuan Qianshuo is not weak in these two aspects. The fact that he can now condense the mark is enough to show his extraordinary "talent".
In a sense, waiting for Minato Namikaze to be healed to obtain the Flying Thunder God Technique reward might be a more efficient approach.
But after a moment's hesitation, he continued his cultivation.
Since I have nothing else to do, self-training and system rewards don't conflict. As long as I can get to the basics, I can use the "Mastery" or "Perfection" scrolls from the system rewards to improve.
The morning passed quietly during my meditation, and before I knew it, it was almost noon.
Xingyuan Qianshuo stopped cultivating and formed hand seals to dispel the shadow clones practicing Water Release and Wind Release in the training ground.
As his memories and fatigue returned to their source, he paused to adjust his breathing and then opened the system interface.
"Water Fang Bullet (Proficiency: 126/3000)", "Hard Vortex Water Blade (Beginner: 323/500)", "Water Break Wave (Beginner:
154/500);
"Vacuum Wave (Proficiency: 74/3000)" and "Vacuum Jade (Proficiency: 41/3000)".
"Water Severing Wave is A-rank difficulty, the other four are B-rank. Now, without relying on system rewards, I can quickly master advanced ninjutsu through self-training alone."
"Huh?" he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
The system skill list now includes a new item: "Flying Thunder God Technique (Beginner: 58/500)".
"Can this be practiced separately?" He couldn't help but chuckle to himself. "However, it's reasonable to list the technique as a separate skill. It's a pity there are no scrolls available right now."
After a moment's thought, he composed himself and shut down the system.
Just as he was about to call the four to stop their training and go have a meal, a familiar figure appeared at the entrance of the training ground.
Her golden hair shone brightly in the midday sun, like flowing gold. With her fair face, proud figure, and a dashing aura in every step, she was none other than Tsunade.
She was carrying something in her hand, probably delivering lunch.
He usually brings food for Tsunade, but this time it's the other way around.
Xingyuan Qianshuo couldn't help but smile slightly, a warm feeling welling up in his heart.
He quickly stepped forward and took the multi-tiered wooden lunchbox from her hands.
"Huh, this wasn't bought?" Xingyuan Qianshuo asked.
"Yes, I just brought it from home." Tsunade chuckled, her eyes crinkling. "How's your training going?"
"not bad."
The two walked side by side, and the four members of the Silent Ones came to greet them.
"Greetings, Lady Tsunade."
"Greetings, Lady Tsunade."
"Greetings, Master."
Several people bowed and greeted them.
"Yes, that's good. Keep up the good work." Tsunade nodded encouragingly.
She looked at Nohara Rin and said gently, "Rin, cultivating alone can be quite tedious, so I'll ask Senshuo to guide you as well."
"Yes, Master."
"Once you have a solid foundation, I'll teach you some advanced ninjutsu."
"Yes, Master."
Tsunade made up an excuse with a serious expression, turning "being lazy" into "thinking about Rin".
Xingyuan Qianshuo pursed his lips, suppressing a laugh, but didn't expose her.
Upon reaching the cultivation spot by the river, Xingyuan Qianshuo looked at the ground and felt it was inconvenient to eat.
After a moment's thought, he handed the lunchbox to Jingyin beside him.
He then looked around and chose a rock that was nearly a meter high.
He walked to the edge of the rock, drew a kunai, and exhaled a breath of wind-style chakra onto the blade, which suddenly transformed into a sharp, elusive wind blade that refracted light.
With a swift stroke, he cut the rock horizontally and vertically, carving out a square stone table in the blink of an eye.
They then repeated the process on several nearby rocks, cutting out six stone blocks.
"Master is so amazing!" Shizune clapped her hands with a grin.
The other three children also showed expressions of admiration.
Tsunade's lips curled into a slight smile as she looked at Chisaku with admiration—
Such skillful control of wind release techniques is beyond the reach of ordinary ninjas.
Qian Shuo is indeed a genius.
"Alright, let's tidy up together," Xingyuan Qianshuo interrupted.
"Yes, Master!"
"Yes, Professor Chisaku!"
Soon, a square table and six stone stools were set up, and the group sat around it to enjoy their "picnic".
Tsunade's lunchbox had five layers: golden and crispy tempura, round tamagoyaki, fragrant grilled sausage, and crisp pickled vegetables, served with white rice.
Simple, yet heartwarming.
Tsunade indicated that they had already eaten, and the five of them began to eat without any hesitation.
At that moment, Tsunade noticed the four students' ropeless wooden clogs and couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.
The first time I saw Qian Shuo and She Ci wearing these wooden clogs was during the selection of medical specialty students.
Less than two months have passed, but it feels like a long time has gone by.
"A lot has indeed happened during this time," she sighed inwardly, her gaze filled with affection as she looked at Qian Shuo, who was eating heartily.
"What did your teacher, Chisaku, teach you?" Tsunade asked casually, composed herself.
"Manipulating water spheres with chakra."
"Let the feathers float."
"Inscribe words with the chakra of your fingertips."
"To draw with chakra on the sand."
The four people answered in turn.
With each sentence she heard, Tsunade's smile deepened.
"Ha ha ha ha-"
After Xiang Tie finished speaking that day, she finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Qian Shuo, you really have a lot of clever ideas."
"So-so. They're still young, there's not much I can teach them, the focus is on building a foundation."
"Yes, that's true."
Lunch ended quickly amidst laughter and conversation.
Hoshino Senju recalled the Chunin Exams and said, "By the way, the village is holding the Chunin Exams tomorrow, and our medical team will be responsible for medical support."
"Ah—" the four little ones exclaimed softly in unison.
"Master, we haven't learned anything yet!" Jingyin hurriedly said.
"Why would I let you treat them? I'll handle the main treatment; you can just observe and learn, and lend a hand," Xingyuan Qianshuo explained.
"Oh—" The four of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Chisaku-sensei, what are the Chunin Exams usually testing?" Hyuga Tetsu asked.
"The morning is the written test. Teams that pass will participate in team battles in the afternoon," Hoshino Chisaku replied. "Outstanding genin in the team battles will be recorded and selected."
"Oh." The four nodded in understanding.
Suddenly, Shizune seemed to remember something. Her gaze lingered on Tsunade for a moment before she asked, "Master, will there be a reward for this mission?"
"Uh—" Xingyuan Qianshuo paused for a moment, thinking to himself: I do the work, I teach, and you still want payment.
"Ahem—Jingyin, this is a mission assigned by the village to Konoha Hospital, and then the hospital transferred it to our medical team, so—there's no mission reward." He said, feeling inexplicably guilty.
"Oh————" Shizune was not disappointed upon hearing this, but simply glanced at Tsunade again.
"Alright, the mission is over tomorrow. I'll treat everyone to barbecue tonight," Xingyuan Qianshuo said generously, looking around the room.
"Thank you, Master."
"Thank you, Professor Qian Shuo."
Tsunade watched them interact and chat with a smile the whole time.
At that moment, he thought to himself, "Tomorrow is Shizune's birthday, and I was planning to go out for a drink to celebrate. Now I've saved myself some money."
Since Chisaku had already suggested having barbecue, Tsunade didn't bring it up and decided to go back and prepare a gift to surprise Shizune tomorrow.
After chatting and laughing for a while, Tsunade didn't linger any longer and left with her empty lunchbox.
After a short rest, the group continued their cultivation.
This type of chakra control training does not consume much chakra or physical strength, and can be continued continuously.
Seeing that they were using the same method all the time, Xingyuan Qianshuo felt a little bored, so he suggested that the four of them take turns practicing, which might help them improve each other.
They readily agreed and practiced for a morning, which was indeed a bit monotonous.
The four huddled together, whispering their experiences and discussing the next exercise.
Xingyuan Qianshuo then created two more shadow clones, which dispersed and continued his morning cultivation.
Now, his Flying Thunder God Mark can be maintained for about five minutes.
He left a spell mark on a rock, then stepped back a distance to try and sense it.
Within twenty meters, one must form hand seals and concentrate to perceive it;
Fifty meters away, still clear;
Even at a distance of 100 meters, it can still be sensed.
This is not because his ordinary sensory techniques are particularly outstanding, but because the Flying Thunder God mark itself contains Yin Release power and resonates with ninja chakra in some way.
However, the Flying Thunder God technique requires a high level of perception of the spell mark. It is not just about the mark itself, but also about perceiving the surrounding situation through the mark in order to confirm the "target point" where the teleportation will occur.
Xingyuan Qianshuo tried his best to sense the surroundings of the mark, but it was like a fog and could not be extended.
In this situation, it might be possible to perform the Flying Thunder God teleportation, but it would certainly be extremely dangerous.
After a moment's thought, Xingyuan Qianshuo formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone.
"I'm counting on you. Don't be afraid, I'll always be behind you." He joked when he saw his shadow clone looking serious.
The shadow clone curled its lip and said, "I know what you're thinking. You'd be even happier if I traveled to another dimension."
"
The original body smiled slightly, thinking to itself, "Shadow clones are truly divine magic. I can leave such risky tasks to them."
The shadow clone focused, formed a hand seal, sensed the imprint, and locked onto the coordinates in a flash!
The shadow clone vanished from beside the main body, leaving a ripple in the air, and reappeared—
"Hmm?" Xingyuan Qianshuo did not see the shadow clone, and carefully looked at the spell mark a hundred meters away.
Two meters away from the mark, a familiar head and half a shoulder emerged from the rock—it was the shadow clone that had teleported there using the Flying Thunder God Technique.
The shadow clone was pale and panting heavily. It struggled to turn its head to look over, and a moment later, it turned into white smoke with a bang.
Xingyuan Qianshuo received the memories, his lips twitching slightly: "If this technique were left on a person, wouldn't it teleport directly into their body?"
He opened the system and glanced at it; the Flying Thunder God Technique was not listed in the skill list.
"That means it didn't work."
He sighed inwardly, but was not disappointed. He formed another hand seal and created a shadow clone, wanting to try again.
Before he could even form the Shadow Clone Technique seal, he discovered that the Flying Thunder God Technique seal had vanished.
"It seems that beginner-level techniques are not enough. To achieve a technique imprint that is almost permanent like Minato's, it cannot be done with a short period of training."
After thinking for a moment, he made a mark on a tree trunk next to him, then instantly moved twenty meters away, allowing his shadow clone to try again.
This time, the shadow clone was stuck diagonally in the tree trunk, looking as if it had grown out of the tree. In a short while, it turned into white smoke and dissipated.
Xingyuan Qianshuo shook his head, recalling how easily Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique, a world of difference.
His current situation is caused by multiple factors, including deficiencies in his technique imprint, perception, and spatiotemporal talent.
After thinking it over, he gave up on using shadow clones to quickly learn the Flying Thunder God Technique and instead focused on cultivating the technique's imprints and perception.
There's no need to rush for now. Take it one step at a time. With system rewards, you can progress gradually.
At 4:30 PM, the shadow clone dissipated.
He also improved "Hard Vortex Water Blade" and "Water Severing Wave" to the proficient level, and learned "Water Blade Slash" and "Breaking Torrent".
In terms of Wind Release, he has newly mastered "Airflow Dance" and "Wind Blade".
After an afternoon of intensive practice, the newly learned ninjutsu techniques all reached the proficiency level.
This progress is mainly due to his "microscopic" chakra control and his continuous accumulation of skills in Water Release and Wind Release.
On the other hand, he has a sufficient amount of chakra to support repeated training.
Once these self-taught ninjutsu techniques reach the proficiency level, the rate of improvement slows down significantly.
Therefore, he stopped once he reached the proficiency level, leaving the rest to be promoted through system rewards.
More ninjutsu is not necessarily better; once a certain number is reached, one should pursue proficiency and power.
After all, in actual combat, the number of ninjutsu a ninja can use is limited; it's better to "master more" than "master more."
This is particularly evident in the characters of Hiruzen Sarutobi, Kakashi, and Orochimaru from the original manga.
They possessed countless ninjutsu techniques, but in actual combat, they only used the few they were most proficient in.
The shadow clone technique yields significant results, but the original body is far less effective.
He has mastered basic perception techniques, but the range of his perception is limited.
Further improvements to the Earth Vein Perception Technique and Flying Thunder God Technique have slowed significantly, remaining at the beginner level.
Although Xingyuan Qianshuo felt regretful about this, he accepted it calmly.
He was secretly looking forward to tomorrow's mission, hoping to use the scroll reward if he could get it.
As the sun sets, it bathes the training ground in a warm golden hue.
After reviewing his cultivation progress, he dismissed the four students and sent them home.
Be at the hospital on time tomorrow.
