Chapter 26 3 divided by 2
April 22, Konoha Year 36.
On the morning of the second day after Jiraiya's team of four arrived in the Flower Capital.
Lan Wu woke up in her sleeping bag and found that Chi Shi was still in the same cross-legged position as last night, seemingly still practicing his chakra control...
Seeing this, Lan Wu looked at Chi Shi with some emotion. Since the team was formed, several days had passed. Although Lan Wu had countless complaints about Chi Shi, she even "appreciated" his diligence.
Of course, this was something Lan Wu would never dare to let Chi Shi know.
Otherwise, based on what Lan Wu knows about him these past few days, he would definitely be disdainful on the surface, but inside he would be arrogant and conceited!
Akaishi really worked hard...
Because he had teammates around him, especially Jiraiya, an elite Jonin, Akaishi didn't waste his nights. Except when it was his turn to keep watch, he would use the rest of the time to train through "immersion".
Although the Sharingan can directly copy ninjutsu, and can even be used skillfully as soon as it is copied, there is still a lot of room for improvement in terms of nature transformation and form transformation—this can also be seen from the physical examination results.
Even if someone is proficient in B-rank ninjutsu, and has exceptional battlefield intuition and can always use it at the right time, they are at best a special jonin who is skilled in ninjutsu, or at the level of an ordinary jonin.
If one possesses a large number of chakra attributes and a comprehensive mastery of numerous ninjutsu, they can generally overcome their opponent and can be considered one of the strongest ninjutsu users among Jonin.
but……
This doesn't qualify you as a true master!
If elite Jonin is considered the threshold for "master", then to reach that level in ninjutsu, one must be proficient in either "nature transformation" or "form transformation".
Simply having a large number of ninjutsu techniques has a very limited potential.
Just like now, when people mention "Konoha's top ninjas," the first person that generally comes to mind is the Second Hokage, known as the "Water God," rather than the Third Hokage, who is now known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu"...
Tobirama Senju's Water Release techniques, including form and nature transformations, have reached the pinnacle of the ninja world. Even without any special bloodline limit or secret techniques, his strength is still at the peak of the ninja world based solely on Water Release!
This achievement is based on the nature and form of chakra. Unlike awakening the Sharingan or learning ninjutsu, which can be accomplished overnight with obvious signs of success, it requires accumulation over time and a gradual, powerful breakthrough.
The bloodline of the Uchiha clan, coupled with the immersion system, brought great convenience to Akashi. At this time, Akashi was in a period of rapid growth and was happy to cultivate diligently.
……
Noticing that Akashi's eyelids twitched, Lanwu immediately stepped forward and unceremoniously shook him awake...
Akashi had just woken up from his reverie when he felt Lanwu calling him.
Today's plan, getting ready to begin...
"Do you know where the black market in the Flower Capital is?" Lan Wu asked Akaishi to confirm.
"I roughly know. The case file mentioned that the arresting officers investigated several pawnshops that held stolen goods but to no avail... There are so many pawnshops in the Flower Capital, yet they only investigated a few, and they were all on the same, secluded street. Clearly, everyone tacitly agreed that this was where stolen goods were being received," Akaishi said confidently.
"After luring the enemy in, remember to fire a signal flare. Don't try to be a hero," Lan Wu reminded her.
"Don't worry." Akashi nodded confidently.
Minato thought for a moment and then said, "Actually... it would be better if Akaishi used Shadow Clone and followed us afterward."
"This way, when your main body encounters an enemy in the black market, you can create shadow clones and then dispel them. By utilizing the fact that the main body and other shadow clones can obtain the memories of the shadow clones when they disappear, you can instantly transmit precise information back."
Akaishi was taken aback by this, then said, "That's a good idea, but I don't know how!"
Minato then said, "My Shadow Clone Technique was a reward given to me by the Hokage. I can't teach it to you without permission. Why don't you go find Jiraiya-sensei? Jiraiya-sensei definitely knows the Shadow Clone Technique."
The Shadow Clone Technique is so useful...
While it's less stable than other physical clones, such as water clones or earth clones, it's practically a bug-level ninjutsu for spying and transmitting intelligence.
Therefore, ever since the Second Hokage created this ninjutsu, almost every Jonin of Konoha has learned it...
"No need, I'll teach you," Lan Wu interrupted directly.
Although Lanwu had never used it before, she did know how to use it.
and……
She is the granddaughter of the Second Hokage!
This is a family heirloom for her; she can teach it to whomever she wants without any taboos.
"Shadow Clone Technique... I'll give it a try, but I might not be able to replicate it." Akaishi scratched his head and said.
The "Shadow Clone Technique" was originally on the Uchiha clan's learning list, but because it was a B-rank ninjutsu, it couldn't be copied by a regular Sharingan, so it was placed on the second-rank Sharingan's learning list.
However, Akaishi's left eye is a ninjutsu eye, so there was actually a chance to copy it. But he had prioritized learning the five elemental ninjutsu and hadn't paid attention to this auxiliary Shadow Clone Technique. Normally, the Shadow Clone Technique can only be used as an auxiliary ninjutsu, and the combat power it provides is negligible, since... it consumes too much chakra!
Lanwu then demonstrated it to Chishi...
Although there is only one Ren Seal, the control over the flow of chakra is not simple.
As Lanwu demonstrated, she also explained to Akashi: "The Ren Seal's bias towards chakra guidance is Water Release and Yang Release. Although the Shadow Clone Technique itself is not exactly Water Release, nor does it truly incorporate Yang Release chakra, it does indeed have elements of both in terms of chakra control..."
This is not a simple matter for Akaishi.
After all, Akaishi had neither the talent for Water Release chakra nor much knowledge of Yang Release.
"No, no, I can't copy it." Akaishi shook his head after trying several times.
Akaishi was also helpless...
What kind of perverts are you two?
After I opened my eyes, I couldn't copy it even if I wanted to. How did you two learn it before graduation?
However, Akaishi immediately said, "How about this, I'll use an earth clone to follow you. When it's time to warn you, I'll immediately deactivate the clone."
This is the Earth Release ninjutsu that Akaishi copied from the Eighth Generation last night.
Earth Release and Water Release, as physical chakra attributes, both have C-rank physical clones.
The learning and use difficulty is lower than that of the Shadow Clone Technique, but of course the effect is not as good as the Shadow Clone Technique—the combat ability is about the same, the chakra consumption is less, but the most important information transmission ability is lost.
"Earth Release: Earth Clone Technique!"
Akaishi was seen using ninjutsu in the courtyard when a figure that looked exactly like him materialized from the ground and rose up...
Seeing this, Lan Wu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Then I'll go with you."
As Lan Wu spoke, she also formed a hand seal, and then... a splash of water appeared, revealing a water clone.
Although Ranma's skill in clone techniques is not as good as Minato's, water clones are easier to control and consume less energy than shadow clones, and they do not require transforming into other people.
Seeing this, Minato tilted his head and then formed the same hand seals...
bang——
A shadow clone of Minato appeared, and then...
The shadow clone Minato, the real body Ranmai, and the real body Akagi stood together, while the earth clone Akagi, the water clone Ranmai, and the real body Minato stood together. The three split into two groups, with three people in each group!
