Chapter 239
Boom!
The battle field raised a cloud of dust.
Asuma and Kabuto stood on each side of Itachi, panting. In the center of them, on the sunken ground lay a lion man who was unconscious.
Under the gaze of the three people, the opponent's huge and alienated body was rapidly degenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye. The bristles on his face scattered and his sharp claws retracted. Finally, what appeared in front of everyone was a man with ordinary facial features and a torn prisoner uniform draped over his body.
Soon, the people from the sealing squad and the security team nearby quickly stepped forward, put seals and shackles on the unconscious test subject on the ground, and quickly transferred him to the laboratory in the Technology Development Department responsible for the research of the Gray Stone, and called up instruments for testing.
"Teacher! We defeated that experiment."
Asuma excitedly pulled Kabuto and Itachi to the front of Luna and Tsunade, and shouted excitedly. He believed that he played a decisive role in this battle, such as rushing to the front to resist the most fierce attack of the experimental subject, creating opportunities for Itachi and Kabuto to attack.
"I see. As we promised before, tell me, what reward do you want?" Lu Ni looked at Asuma, whose face was still covered with sweat, and encouraged him with a chuckle.
"What reward do you want?" Asuma was stunned for a moment. Lu Ne's sudden question made his brain freeze, especially when he was thinking about what he wanted.
Although he was looking forward to the reward promised by Lu Ne, Asuma was a little confused when Lu Ne asked him to ask for what he needed.
He seemed, as if, to lack nothing?
He seemed to be able to get the ninjutsu, ninja tools, confidential knowledge of the ninja world, etc. that ordinary ninjas need from other places.
Who made his father the abdicated Third Hokage? Known as the Ninjutsu Doctor, his attainments and knowledge in Ninjutsu, especially the Five Elements of Escape, are more knowledgeable than the current Orochimaru.
The Sarutobi Clan would not lack him for the resources needed by the ninja world. At least there were only a few people in the village who were able to obtain a custom-made ninja tool made of chakra metal at his age.
However, he really wanted to learn the ninjutsu created by his teacher. He had been coveting the red fire cannon mastered by Itachi for a long time. He also had fire attribute chakra.
"I want to learn the Red Fire Cannon!" Asuma looked up at Lu Nie.
"What about you?" Lu Nie looked at the other two people.
Itachi also shook his head in bewilderment. As the eldest son of the Uchiha clan leader, and especially the one who was highly expected by the family to compete for the position of Hokage in the future, Itachi also had no shortage of ninjutsu and forbidden techniques. It was just that at his current age, he would not be allowed to come into contact with those dangerous forbidden techniques too early.
He knew that his teacher had a lot of good things, but he couldn't give an answer as to which ones would be useful to him.
Logically, he should seek ointments or other things that could increase the power of the Sharingan again, but as Lu Nie once reminded him, at his age, when his body has not yet fully developed, excessive eye power would be a heavy burden on his body.
Although there are ways to alleviate this burden, there is no need to take risks and take that risky path.
"I don't know." Itachi replied. If possible, he would like the advanced technique of the Red Fire Cannon, but as long as he can reach the required proficiency in the Red Fire Cannon, Lu Nie will give it to him, so there is no need to ask for it at this moment.
"I don't know either." Seeing Lu Nie's eyes turned to him, Dou swallowed and shook his head. He was the medical ninja in the team. Under Lu Nie's training, he was also involved in the research projects of the Technology Development Department, helping Lu Nie and other researchers to lay a solid foundation.
He positioned himself as the medical ninja in the team and the teacher's experimental assistant.
The medical ninjutsu in the village is different from the ninjutsu used in combat. As long as you can master it, you can be taught by any medical ninja in the hospital. Before he became Lu Nie's apprentice, he had already practiced it on the wounded in the hospital under Nono's training.
"Then let's each perform a ninjutsu." Lu Nie clapped his hands and said to the three people. Seeing the three people nod in unison, he raised a finger to Asuma, who had the most eager look on his face, and asked: "Red Fire Cannon, or a wind jutsu with similar power characteristics to the Red Fire Cannon, you choose one, Asuma."
Asuma's eyes lit up instantly, and he said without hesitation: "Wind Style!" Although he has fire attribute chakra, his best and favorite is still wind style, especially when it can be combined with Shinichi characters.
"Give me your ninja tool." Under Asuma's expectant gaze, Lu Ne took the Shinichimonji from his hand and showed him the wind-style ninjutsu.
Under the rotating blade, with the blade as the eye of the wind, a huge whirlwind was released forward, sweeping and cutting everything within the range of the wind, and finally stirring the test field into pieces. After moving and releasing the wind into the sky, Lu Ne threw the Shinichi text back to the messy-haired Asuma and explained to him the effect and principle of this technique.
"Tianlan! You can adjust the power of the release and decide whether to blow the opponent away or cut him. Under the guidance of the Third Hokage, you have integrated a matching sword technique with the Shinichimonji, and this technique can be a supplement. It can be used alone or in conjunction with your fire escape ninjutsu, and the direction can be adjusted dynamically. Similarly, it can also gather part of the natural force sweeping around and strengthen its power according to your wishes. But be careful of backlash.
In terms of the difficulty level of ninjutsu, it should be classified as A-level, but if the power of nature is taken into account, it is more difficult to master than the average A-level ninjutsu."
"That's it!" Looking at the messy test site destroyed by Tianlan, and feeling the powerful power up close, Asuma nodded without hesitation. If the three of them hadn't been connected by Lu Ni's shadow, he would have been swept in and experienced the power of this technique firsthand.
"For Kabuto, do you want a combat ninjutsu, a medical forbidden technique, or an auxiliary technique?" Lu Ni looked at Kabuto and asked.
If both chose forbidden medical techniques, he planned to throw it to Tsunade.
This question is also to determine which path Kabuto wants to take in the future. Seeing the hesitant look on Kabuto's face, Lu Nie encouraged him: "Just choose what you want in your heart. In many cases, you always have to make a choice alone." "Auxiliary technique." Kabuto was silent for a moment under the gaze of Lu Nie and his two companions, and then hesitantly spoke.
"Can you tell me what you think?" Lu Nie asked in a gentle tone.
"In the future, I will have to go out of the village to do missions with Itachi and the others, and we may encounter powerful enemies at that time. Asuma and Itachi are already very powerful, and I am also good at medical ninjutsu, but if I can master an auxiliary technique, maybe I can help them." Kabuto expressed his thoughts.
"Very good. No matter what, the fact that you can make decisions based on your own ideas is already a kind of growth." Luna didn't expect to lose his parents and was afraid of being abandoned, so Kabuto, who always thought about the people around him, could change his character immediately. But it was also good that he could gradually establish a bond and mutual trust with other people besides the children in the orphanage and Nono, too.
The other party will always grow up slowly.
Lu Nie opened his hands, and several lines instantly spread out from under his feet, forming a barrier in the form of an inverted cone on all four sides, covering Lu Nie and the others.
"Mountain-Reversing Crystal! A defensive formation that can be cast by one person. You can think of it as a barrier. When needed, it can be used to ensure your safety and serve as a temporary medical room.
The only drawback is that the energy consumption is a bit high, but this problem is not unsolvable." Lu Nie looked at Tsunade.
"Don't look at me, he is not suitable to inherit my technique." Tsunade knew what Lu Nie's look meant. After refusing, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Those techniques are meaningless to me now. If it's just to increase his chakra, if you and Orochimaru don't want to do it, leave it to me."
"This technique is a bit difficult and can be classified as S-level. However, with your talent and control over chakra, you should be able to master it in a certain period of time. After it is formed, it is difficult to destroy it with ordinary ninjutsu and taijutsu, and its strength can be increased according to the input of chakra and natural energy."
After getting Tsunade's promise, Shikagawa nodded in satisfaction. Although he did have a way to increase Kabuto's chakra, given his current age and physical condition, the safest and most suitable thing to do was, of course, to let Tsunade handle and solve it.
Dou looked at the upside-down triangle barrier, felt the layer of energy ground under his feet, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Having been with Kagome for so long, with one of his companions being the son of the Third Hokage, the other the son of the patriarch of a wealthy Konoha family, and his stepmother being a wandering shrine maiden who was good at collecting intelligence, Kabuto's horizons and cognition have broadened much more than two years ago, so he knows very well how rare and precious such a powerful barrier that can be activated by one person is.
The barrier collapsed, and several people landed steadily on the ground. Lu Nie set his eyes on the last Itachi.
"What about you, Itachi? Do you want a fire-style ninjutsu, or something else?" asked Lu Nie.
"Other options, are they techniques of other attributes?" Itachi pondered for a moment and did not make a choice immediately, but asked back.
"Yes, if you have an idea, some techniques similar to sealing techniques are also fine." Lu Nie replied. With a forbidden technique teacher like Orochimaru, Lu Nie has created many seemingly authentic Kidō-style ninjutsu based on his own impressions and the ninjutsu here.
He didn't mind teaching them all to Itachi and the others, but many of them were not perfect, just like the second generation's wholesale creation of forbidden techniques. After they were created, many of them were not suitable for being taught to Itachi and the others now.
Although their foundation and strength have far surpassed those of their peers, they are not yet at the stage where they can forge their own path. They still need continuous accumulation and learning, and explore their future path through actual combat.
This is what all the strong men in the ninja world must go through. Without these, unless they have other channels and means like him, there will be loopholes and immaturity.
"Sealing technique?" Itachi was slightly stunned when he heard the technique that Lu Nei seemed to mention deliberately, and suppressed the restlessness in his heart about Fire Style. He had a vague feeling that the sealing technique that Lu Nei mentioned seemed to be calling him, making him feel a palpitation in his heart at this moment.
Does the teacher think that the unknown sealing technique is more suitable for me now? But can the sealing technique be used in battle?
A sealing technique of that level should at least be included in Konoha's book of forbidden techniques, right?
After thinking seriously for a while, Itachi looked up and said to Lu Nie: "I choose the sealing technique."
Lu Ni pointed at Itachi, and under the surprised gazes of Itachi and Tsunade, six rays of light suddenly emerged from the air, like shackles, firmly pinning Itachi's arms and body, making him unable to move.
Itachi tried to struggle, but found that he couldn't get free at all. Even the chakra in his body fell into a brief silence at this moment. Just like being hit by the acupuncture points of Hinata's Byakugan, the chakra flowing in the meridians was cut off where the light was stuck.
"Let me try it!" Tsunade's eyes narrowed. This kind of sealing technique that was almost instantaneous and did not require hand seals was considered rare even among the Uzumaki clan. She wanted to experience the power and effect of this technique herself.
Lu Ni also immediately gave Tsunade the same blow.
Six thicker pieces of light stuck to Tsunade's body, binding her arms tightly to her waist. The size and texture of the light pieces were much stronger than those on Itachi.
Tsunade felt it carefully and felt that she was indeed suppressed to some extent, but when she exerted force, in just a blink of an eye, the light piece that locked her body was stretched open and shattered.
Looking at Tsunade who forcibly opened the six-rod light prison with just her physical strength, Lu Ni was also slightly surprised. Although he only used chakra, Tsunade did not enter the Sage Mode and Hougyoku Mode. She simply used the power of her physical body and chakra to open it.
"It's a very practical sealing technique! It can be cast instantly, and can instantly restrict a person's movements. If used by surprise in battle, it can quickly kill the enemy and end the battle." Tsunade gave her own evaluation.
The value of this sealing technique was highly valued in Tsunade's eyes. At least if a ninjutsu like this were used in battle, even a Kage would suffer a loss if caught off guard. This information gap was fatal!
