Three days later, the group returned to Konoha.
The story line this time is not too short, and the rewards are generous enough, especially for Zhang Chi. Although he did not personally participate in the battle, he just followed the process of Qi Zhen and the others and reached the level Level thirty.
After reaching level 50, Qi Zhen and the others' level improvement slowed down. After completing such a long task process, they only raised his level by one level. I don't know if he can reach it after clearing the game. Full level.
After the levels and points were settled in real time, Qi Zhen finally felt a little relieved. As expected, what he did this time did not arouse the suspicion of the system. At least after this part was completed, the system did not blame Qi Zhen for those small actions. As for the cancellation of real-time settlement, it seems that there should be no discovery.
While breathing a long sigh of relief, the four of them, Qi Zhen, rested in the village. They ate ramen and barbecue and walked around the village every day.
After the main plot started, those complicated side missions seemed to disappear. Even if Qi Zhen went to the Hokage's official residence to receive the mission, she would be told that there were no new missions assigned recently and that only the four of them were on standby.
In the past few days, the new Class Seven that Naruto and the others formed, their relationship with each other has improved by leaps and bounds. The sincere smile on Sai's face has become more open, but it was only then that Naruto and the others discovered that it turned out that Saoi's previous bad words were not intentional. This mysterious and powerful ninja who belonged to the "root" turned out to be like an idiot and really didn't understand all the worldly things.
So Sakura had a new job at this time.
That is to teach Sai the basic etiquette of getting along with others.
After a few days without work, Liang Sicheng began to feel bored, especially after he met Dingci. Every day he and this man went shopping in the village and complained that he seemed to have gained weight again when he came back.
The four members of the team all knew what mission was waiting for them next, but they didn't know how the mission would appear, so they could only quietly prepare mentally.
In fact, the main storyline arrives much more suddenly than expected.
On a sunny morning, Sakura found Qi Zhen who was reading books on ninjutsu at home, and told him that Naruto had begun the research and development of a new ninjutsu, and asked Qi Zhen and the others to help him take a look and come up with ideas.
Qi Zhen knew that the ninjutsu he was going to develop was the extremely handsome spiral shuriken.
But there was something else on his mind.
Naruto has begun to develop new ninjutsu, which means that the plot on the other side will also begin to move forward.
Just when Qi Zhen was about to follow Naruto out, Zaka returned to the house where everyone was resting and brought him important news.
When Zaka went to the Hokage's official residence to ask about the mission, this time he finally got a different answer than before.
It's just that this time the task doesn't seem to be mandatory, but an optional task.
As one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas, Master Chiriku, who had been practicing at the Fire Temple, was taken away by the Akatsuki organization.
The newspaper did not say whether the person was dead or alive, but as the largest temple in the Land of Fire, the symbolic significance of the Fire Temple to this country is self-evident, both from the perspective of tracing Akatsuki and from the perspective of belief. Look, even the Leaf Village has no reason to ignore it.
The reason why it is a mission that you can choose to participate in is because this mission has been prioritized by a team before Qi Zhen and the others.
Led by Konoha Jonin Asuma and composed of Chunin Shikamaru, Izumo, and Zitetsu, the team will soon set out to track down the other party's traces.
Asuma is the son of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. He is also one of the Twelve Guardian Ninjas. He has a very close relationship with Jilu. This trip is just to recover his friends, whether dead or alive.
Zaka made it clear that there was only about an hour left over there. If they wanted to go, they would gather at the gate of Konoha in an hour. No one would wait if they were late.
Qi Zhen was in trouble.
The difficulty is not that they have to choose one side to execute, but that they have to divide their forces.
Yes, these two tasks are actually optional. You can choose to go with Asuma and the others to fight Kakuzu Hidan, or you can choose to stay in Konoha Village to assist Naruto in completing the research and development of new ninjutsu.
Moreover, both tasks have the same rewards, the only difference lies in the number of questions.
Qi Zhen knew very well that these two tasks were said to be two, but in fact they would be merged into one task in the end. In the plot, Naruto would finally use the new ninjutsu he developed to kill Kakuzu.
If you want to complete both tasks, the four people must be divided into two parts.
The people left behind must assist Naruto in advancing the research and development of new ninjutsu as soon as possible in order to catch up with the decisive battle between the two sides. The other side is much simpler. After all, Asuma is bound to die in the original plot.
Zhang Chi, who has no fighting ability, will definitely stay. If one more person is left...
In less than a quarter of an hour, the four members of the team gathered together.
Sakura came over just to give a warning and left to visit Naruto. The four of them stared at each other, waiting for Qi Zhen's decision.
In fact, Qi Zhen originally wanted Liang Sicheng to stay. After all, his IQ was there and his ability to adapt to changes was the strongest among the four except Qi Zhen.
"I'll stay."
To everyone's surprise, Xhaka actually volunteered to stay.
"I don't know much about chakra, but when it comes to things like form changes, you all combined don't know as much as I do," Zaka said.
Indeed, a person who can transform his limbs into sharp blades at any time will play a much greater role in the development of Naruto's new ninjutsu than Liang Sicheng.
"That's it, see you later." Qi Zhen nodded, no longer entangled.
So the last people to appear in front of the gate of Konoha were Qi Zhen and Liang Sicheng, while Zhaka and Zhang Chi appeared on the lawn of the training ground, looking at the tall waterfall rising from the ground and marveling at it.
The Asuma team is no stranger to Qi Zhen, especially Izumo and Zitetsu. They met the four of them as early as when they first arrived in Konoha.
With their participation, Shikamaru's confidence was obviously much stronger.
A group of six people went on the road together and soon disappeared at the end of the road.
Although the four members of the team have been very idle these days, the NPCs have never stopped moving, especially Naruto, who started the research and development of new ninjutsu soon after returning to the village.
For this reason, he also specifically consulted Asuma about the changes in chakra form, and now he has advanced to the point where he can cut a waterfall with the chakra sprayed from his palm.
Yamato used Wooden Release to build a long bridge in front of the waterfall, and Naruto began to rely on his shadow clone to absorb the experience of using chakra. In order to prevent him from seduce the power of the Nine Tails in his body due to chakra overdraft, Yamato He had to keep an eye on him at all times, and once he discovered any clues, he would knock Naruto out or suppress him to prevent him from going berserk.
Sakura also explained the reason why the four members of the team were asked to come to help. It seemed that it was because Naruto had some minor problems when the chakra was changing its form. As a result, no matter how hard he tried, the chakra could not change in a sharp direction, resulting in Progress was very slow.
Xhaka showed his hand in front of them.
Literally his hand was exposed, and in front of Naruto, his arm turned into a bloody sharp blade, swiping twice in the air, making a buzzing sound.
Chakra, as a kind of energy, is naturally fundamentally different from Zaka's body tissue. To put it bluntly, it is more like the internal force described in ancient martial arts.
The best application of this behavior of releasing chakra is actually the medical ninja.
Medical Ninjutsu itself is to achieve the purpose of healing others through the release of chakra.
Others who want to release chakra can only use two media. One is to give chakra shape and attributes through seals, and then issue ninjutsu. The other is to condense chakra on weapons, such as Asuma's fist blade, and some ninja's swords, etc.
It is not difficult to release chakra out of the body. What is difficult is how to use the released chakra to fight.
In a sense, if you can cut through waterfalls with the chakra released by your hands, you can naturally cut through other things.
If you want to do this, you must let the chakra you emit have the power to cut, that is, change the shape of the chakra.
Naruto seemed to have an epiphany, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"I think I understand!" he said.
Zhang Chi was a little confused and asked in confusion, "What do you understand?"
"Can you do it again?" Naruto asked Zaka anxiously.
"Oh." Zhaka responded, and his arm transformed from normal to blade shape again.
"Yes, yes, that's it!" Naruto said in surprise.
Not only was he relaxed this time, Xhaka himself was also a little confused.
In fact, when he just told Qi Zhen that he was staying, although he kept saying that he knew everything about form transformation, he had no idea at all and didn't know how to help Naruto. However, now It seems that Naruto understands the situation without having to do anything on his own?
Zhaka looked at his arm. Several muscle tissues sprouted from both sides of his arm and hand at the same time, forming the structure of the entire arm blade like a spider web. Then his tissue seemed to pour out of mercury, pouring out the structure in the middle. The holes are all filled.
He watched the process of change carefully and gradually understood Naruto's thoughts.
Perhaps once chakra energy leaves the body, it will fly away in disorder. It is extremely difficult to control it to maintain a certain shape after leaving the body.
However, with Zaka's experience in constructing arm blades, Naruto can generally refer to this method of constructing veins, allowing chakra to remain in a disconnected state after leaving the body, and then simulate a sharp shape.
