On the training ground.
boom!
The moment the fist came into contact with the ground, there was a huge explosion, and a hole several meters in diameter exploded directly on the ground. Gravel splashed everywhere, and the figure was covered by the sudden dust.
After the smoke and dust dissipated, shocking cracks were still scattered throughout the pits, extending deeper into the ground.
The skin on Liuli's fist was a little red, and she felt a dull pain in her fist, but soon she could no longer feel the pain and disappeared without a trace.
"Is this the power of natural energy? It should not be underestimated. Just a casual punch can have the same effect as ninjutsu."
Not only that, Liuli felt that her body had become extremely light, and the effect of using natural energy to replace the increase of chakra on the body was so significant.
This made Liuli start to fear the power of nature.
Compared with the entire nature, the natural energy in your body is just a drop of water in the ocean.
Falling into such contemplation, Liuli suddenly felt that human beings, or ninjas, were really too insignificant.
Survival cannot be separated from this land, nor can we survive without this sky.
No matter how strong you become, you can't transcend this world.
Everything is given by nature.
The chakra formed by the human body is not worth mentioning before this great power.
"What's wrong? Are you distracted?"
Shiraishi carries a convenient medical kit in order to prevent Liuli or himself from being injured in the following practice and to provide quick treatment.
Seeing Liuli fall into deep thought after testing the power of her physical skills, she couldn't help but become confused.
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt that human beings are such insignificant existence in front of nature."
After Shiraishi heard this, he suddenly laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
Liuli's eyes narrowed, a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and his fists were raised.
"Ah, it's nothing. I just feel that it's not like you, Liuli, to express your feelings about life here."
"..."
"Okay, okay, in fact, there is no need for this. After all, we humans are also an inseparable part of nature. It is just that humans are a more prominent group of animals in nature. Don't base it on the fact that humans are advanced beings that are superior to nature. We should embody this idea to think about issues between humans and nature. As the saying goes, the more knowledgeable you are, the more you know your own powerlessness."
After thinking carefully about Shiraishi's words, Liuli quite agreed.
In the past, I was too ignorant, so I was not afraid of anything.
As we grow older and gain more knowledge, we become more aware of the true vastness and breadth.
Before such great power, I realized that I was just a frog in the well.
"Okay, how does natural energy feel like?"
Shiraishi asked about business.
Liuli didn't answer, but punched Shiraishi directly in the face.
Shiraishi tilted his head slightly, letting Liuli's fist pass by his ear, as if he had carefully calculated it.
"As you said, this feeling is very powerful, and it is not on the same level as my previous self. Now, with the power of Sharingan, I should be able to catch Sakumo-sensei's speed and counterattack in time. "
Liuli felt that there was endless energy in her body. This state of cheering every cell in her body made her feel more comfortable than ever before.
"That's right. Next, let's experiment with whether natural energy can be directly applied to ninjutsu and genjutsu."
Natural energy is actually the same as physical energy and spiritual energy, and it requires many steps to extract.
Taking natural energy from nature is just a general overview. How to effectively ingest it, how to store it in the body, and which part of the body is the most suitable as the entrance all require constant accumulation of experience.
The same goes for physical energy and spiritual energy.
The amount of food intake on the day, the type of food, whether the emotional state of the day is stable, etc. will all affect the amount of physical energy and mental energy extracted.
Theoretically, chakra can be used to use taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu. Since it has been proven that natural energy can enhance taijutsu, ninjutsu and genjutsu should not be a problem.
Liuli had no objection. She also wanted to know whether natural energy could be used to release ninjutsu and genjutsu.
As she spoke, she began to form seals and release ninjutsu in order to better balance the natural energy gathered in her mouth.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
As the signature fire escape technique of the Uchiha clan, it is far stronger than the fire escape technique of ordinary ninjas.
Although Liuli successfully formed the seal and the natural energy did gather in the oral area, there was not much reaction.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Liuli's face was slightly unnatural and seemed to be in pain, Shiraishi ran over worriedly and asked.
Liuli turned her head, opened her mouth, took a breath, and her expression felt better.
"My tongue is burned..."
Shiraishi: "..."
It seems to have failed.
The natural energy only emitted unimaginable heat in Liuli's mouth, but it did not change into a fire ball and appeared in a physical way.
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
"Art fire escape ho fireball!"
"Fire Escape·Hao Fireball..."
…
After that, every time Liuli used Hao Fire Ball, he had to drink a large amount of water to reduce the heat in his mouth.
It lasted until evening before the experiment of natural energy release ninjutsu came to an end.
The result ended in failure.
◎
A week passed after that.
Experiments on using natural energy to replace chakra and releasing ninjutsu and genjutsu have all ended in failure.
In other words, the natural energy that currently exists alone, except for increasing physical and mental activity, cannot be used to replace chakra's role in releasing ninjutsu and illusions.
But this does not mean that this experiment failed completely. Shiraishi believes that the reason why he could not achieve his expected results may be because of the wrong method.
Suddenly at this time, an order came from above, and Sakumo's team needed to take action immediately and go to the front line of the Fire Kingdom battlefield to provide support.
As a result, Shiraishi had to stop the work at hand and hid everything in the laboratory very neatly. The experimental equipment was transferred to the ninja cat summoned by Liuli.
After nearly twenty days of relaxation, Team Sakumo finally ushered in a new round of mission life.
Meet at the gate of Konoha.
When Shiraishi and Ruri came here, Ayane and Sakumo had been waiting here for a long time.
Because a lot of time was wasted hiding the experimental equipment, Shiraishi and Liuli arrived a little late. However, there was still half an hour before the agreed meeting time, so it was not considered late.
The four of them didn't say much after they met. After half a month passed, the faces of the four of them were slightly different. Sakumo's aura became the most obvious. There was a sharp aura about him, which was predictable. His sword skills have reached a new level.
"Teacher Sakumo, we are all here, we can go."
After Shiraishi saw that everyone was gathered, he was ready to take action.
"Wait a moment, there is another team that will join us. It should be here soon."
Sakumo smiled and waited with a calm heart.
Another squad? Baishi and the other three looked confused.
Sure enough, as Sakumo said, about half a minute later, two people, one large and one small, arrived.
The Lord is the same as Sakumo, wearing the Jounin uniform of Konoha. He is an adult man with white hair. He looks a bit cunning and irregular, but his demeanor is somewhat extraordinary.
The little man following behind him is about the same age as Shiraishi and the others. He has dazzling golden hair and a sunny and handsome smile. Compared to the shy and shy person a few years ago, he is now a more mature person. The big boy.
——Minato Namikaze.
Shiraishi recognized the boy's identity.
Like the three of them, they were students who entered the ninja school at the same time, so they could be said to be classmates in the same class.
But the other party skipped and graduated in fourth grade, became a genin and participated in missions earlier than the three of them.
I didn't expect to meet under such circumstances.
Shiraishi greeted Minato friendly, and Minato smiled back.
"I'm sorry, I was delayed because of some things. It shouldn't have delayed anything, right, Sakumo?"
The white-haired ninja smiled and scratched his head. He was a talkative person with a cheerful personality.
"No. But I didn't expect you to have returned to the village, Jiraiya. We haven't seen each other for several years."
Sakumo called out the white-haired ninja's name.
Jiraiya, one of the Sannin of Konoha and a disciple of the Sandaime Hokage.
After hearing the name, Shiraishi looked at Jiraiya for a moment.
Judging from the external aura, he is indeed a powerful jounin. There are no obvious flaws in his every move, which shows that his taijutsu is definitely not weak.
Just like that, Shiraishi wouldn't pay attention to him.
But a while ago, there were suddenly a lot of toads in Konoha, and he was the biggest suspect.
The other party got involved with Sakumo in just a few words, chatting and laughing, and Shiraishi nodded secretly.
This kind of guy is troublesome, thick-skinned, and has strong communication skills. Therefore, when talking to him, you have to avoid the important and take the easy. Even if you are just chatting, the other person will have a strong purpose.
Putting aside his strength, his personality is definitely the type that Shiraishi least wants to encounter.
After not reminiscing for long, Sakumo and Jiraiya took the lead and rushed towards the frontline battlefield.
On the way, Jiraiya sighed secretly.
Although some toads from Mt. Myoboku were placed in Konoha, Jiraiya was not confident that he could find anything.
What's more, he has to go to the frontline battlefield now and has no time to think about this matter.
It would be nice if the big toad fairy's prediction ability was more accurate.
By the way...are there really such powerful ninjas in Konoha?
However, the powerful ninjas who are familiar with Konoha have a close relationship with him. It cannot be said that they know everything about them, but their loyalty to Konoha is absolutely no problem.
So, who was the prophecy that brought boundless war to the ninja world and destroyed ninjas from the ninja world?
Where in Konoha is it?
