Chapter 4 Urgency! The Onmyoji's Crisis!
"Child, you are so serious every day, I am very pleased, teacher. Walking into the cabin, the old man paused and said to Naruto.
Looking at the old man's kind face, Naruto smiled, dragged a chair, and helped the old man to sit down slowly. "Teacher, I just want to be stronger...... Naruto scratched his head and smirked.
Then the room fell silent. Naruto also lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.
The old man shook his head and looked at Naruto in front of him, very helpless about this disciple.
"Hey, I say, little Naruto. The old man smiled bitterly and said, "I said, you just don't need those spells to think about it now, it's dark this day, and we don't have to eat anymore?" The old man specially accentuated the word "again".
Naruto, who woke up, looked at the old man in confusion. Looking at this scene, the old man had a headache.
"Forget it, what are you thinking? Tell me, I'll settle it for you now, or I'll have no food tonight." β
It's just tonight~ Hearing this, a smile appeared on Naruto's face.
"Hey, hey!" Naruto's smirk caused the old man to roll his eyes.
"Or does the teacher know me......" Naruto stood on the ground, grinning.
"Okay, let's talk about any questions, old man, I'm hungry......" The old man touched his stomach and waved his hand for Naruto to hurry up.
Naruto stopped smiling, was silent for a moment, touched his chin and said slowly, "Sensei, I ...... that trick just now"
""Break away from the fire?"
"Hmm. This trick is undoubtedly powerful. However, in order to fully perform the "Break from Fire", it will take a period of time to cohesive. In the future, if you fight the enemy, the enemy will not give you time to condense. That...... In other words, it will not be able to fully exert its power. What is going to be done?" Naruto grimaced, expressing his doubts.
The old man smiled, and instead of answering Naruto's question directly, he asked, "Then how do you think ...... 'Break from the Fire' should be used?"
Naruto thought for a long time, shook his head, and stood there dejectedly.
The old man squinted at Naruto and said, "In fact, there has never been an Onmyoji who has cast the 'Fire Split' on his opponent empty-handed. β
The old man's words made Naruto stunned.
"......What? This spell is not powerful enough? But this ...... It shouldn't be. The old man shook his head.
"Little Naruto, why are you confused at this time?" the old man paused and said, "No one uses it empty-handed, and it's true that it's too difficult to cast it empty-handed. No matter how powerful an Onmyoji's ability is, it will always take a while to exert its power completely empty-handed. Therefore, this technique is more frivolous. β
"That'...... What should I do then?" Naruto saw the old man's chin raised proudly, his heart moved, and he cooperated with the old man, showing a look of anxiety, and said, "Teacher, isn't it also for nothing that I learn it?"
The old man looked at Naruto with a "monkey hurry" look, laughed, and then said, "You kid! Forget it, tell you." This is a little different from the spell I told you before, this is a matching spell. "Breaking away from fire" is just the basics, to unleash its power, you also need to learn the "Spiritual Fire Technique"!"
"'Spiritual Fire'?"
"Hmm. Let me tell you a little bit about it. The so-called "Spiritual Fire Technique" is a flame that attaches a soul to a weapon, directly attacking the enemy's soul, causing it to take a lot of damage. This flame of the soul is said to be "breaking away from the fire". The flame itself is not visible, and only we onmyoji can perceive it. β
Naruto was stunned.
"So amazing?" Naruto muttered, the more he spoke, the more surprised he became, "I see!" It takes a while to gather its strength, otherwise it won't be able to exert its true power. Moreover, if you use it to attack in a hurry, the power will be greatly reduced. At this time, the "Spiritual Fire Technique" is very necessary. We can use our weapons to resist the enemy's attacks, and at the same time use the "Spiritual Fire Technique" to attach soul flames to the weapons to achieve the goal of inflicting heavy damage on the enemy!"
The old man nodded, his eyes full of relief.
"Yes, you're smart. And......" The old man deliberately hung Naruto's appetite, but he couldn't say anything about it.
"And, and what?" Naruto couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the old man's appearance.
How can you still look like a child when you're such a big person?
In desperation, Naruto had no choice but to walk to the old man's chair, beat the old man's legs with both hands, and asked the old man with a "naΓ―ve" look, asking, "Teacher, what ......?"
The old man smiled and said, "I want to tell you...... If you can be strong enough, you can cast it empty-handed!"
"What?" Naruto was furious, "Old man, you're going to fool me!"
The old man waved his hand, ignoring Naruto's pretense there, and said, "Don't pretend to be here for me, I'll tell you." β
Naruto laughed and stood beside the old man.
"What is a weapon? that is, something that can replace a human body and inflict more damage on the enemy, such as a stick, a knife, a sword, or something. β
And ...... If you reach a certain level, you will find that the power of these weapons seems to be reduced, after all, they are all foreign objects. Ninjas may not have too much demand for weapons, shuriken, kunai or anything is enough. But when it comes to the samurai of the past, it is different, all their kung fu is in weapons. If an ordinary samurai has a weapon that is powerful enough, his strength will be very different. Therefore, there is a distinction between famous swords and famous swords. β
"What kind of unity between the sword and the sword, in fact, this is also a limitation. That can only be achieved in the realm of a sword or a sword alone. But a truly powerful samurai can exert great power in his hands. β
"At this point, the human body can also be used as a weapon. You don't need a weapon, your hands and arms are weapons, and you can still exert great power. β
"So......" the old man said slowly, "Theoretically, a Great Yin-Yang Sorcerer can release the 'Separation from the Fire' empty-handed, and its power will not diminish in the slightest. β
Naruto stopped talking, thinking about what the old man had said.
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "That's only theoretical, and you also said it, teacher." In the history of Onmyoji, there is no one who can cast the ...... of "Breaking from Fire" empty-handed"
The old man was silent.
But......
"But...... The teacher believes. You can!" The old man looked at Naruto with burning eyes: "You are very talented, and you are very hard-working! At least, among the disciples I have seen, you are the most diligent! There is no disciple who can start learning and practicing spells in the morning before the sun comes out, until the sun sets and the sky is dark. Don't complain about hardship, don't call tired, more than two years!"
The room fell silent.
Naruto was silent, and the old man looked at Naruto with a smile.
At that moment, Naruto's stomach crumbled out of place, cooing.
Hearing this, Naruto's face instantly turned red, embarrassed to avoid the old man's playful gaze.
"What's the matter, are you hungry......" Old Man Feng Luo smiled proudly and said, "Go and prepare something to eat!"
Naruto smiled "hehe" and walked briskly towards the outside of the house.
"This kid, my old man is starving with him all day long!" muttered the old man, touching his stomach. Unexpectedly, his stomach also screamed, and the old man Kazara looked at Naruto who had just gone out, and let out a big sigh.
"Thankfully, thankfully, ......"
"Otherwise, my image as a teacher will be ruined, this kid...... Alas!"
......
The small figure made rapid progress through the forest, through the dense jungle of trees, jumped to one place, brushed aside a clump of flowers and plants in front of him, Naruto grinned, clapped his hands and walked forward.
On the small round lake, the microwave is sparkling, and from time to time small fish jump up and toss again against the reflection of the moon in the water. The silver moonlight sprinkled down, and Xiaohu looked out shyly as if wearing a layer of silver clothes.
Naruto strode over to the shore of the lake, standing on the shore, looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, and although it was not the first time he had seen it, he was still intoxicated......
The blue water rippled, the calm water surface was flooded with large waves, the lake water poured upside down, and with a long "moo" sound, a huge figure rushed out of the lake, staring at Naruto on the shore.
"Xiaoqing?"
The helpless look in Xiaoqing's eyes was seen by Naruto, but he pretended not to know.
"I said, you're here to ask me for fish again?" Xiaoqing wagged his tail in dissatisfaction, and another wave rose on the surface of the lake.
Naruto nodded, looking at the huge figure in front of him "innocently".
"Do you think what a noble identity the deity is, and it has been used as a tool for fishing by your master and apprentice again and again?"
Naruto was still "naΓ―ve" with a face.
Looking at Naruto's appearance, Xiaoqing resisted the urge to kick him, even though he had no feet!
Although she was dissatisfied, Xiaoqing still flicked her tail and pulled up a few fish, all of which were fat and plump, and fell on the shore.
"That's enough!" said the little green urn in a huffy voice, and Naruto happily put away his dinner.
Looking at the joy on Naruto's face, Xiaoqing didn't care, stared at Naruto with big eyes, and asked thoughtlessly, "Your teacher's body...... Are you alright?"
Naruto looked up questioningly and said, "What's wrong......?"
Xiaoqing hurriedly lowered her head and said vaguely, "Oh! It's nothing, take good care of your teacher's body." With that, he prepared to go back to the bottom of the lake.
Naruto quietly listened to Xiaoqing's words and nodded heavily.
The surface of the lake is calm again, and the clear moon is reflected in its entirety on the calm surface of the lake. Beautiful and intoxicating!
"Xiaoqing, what if...... I want to be good friends with you, not just ...... My Shikigami!"
Naruto's tiny figure vanished into the shore, leaving only a soft word in his wake.
Naruto, who was carrying a few fish in the forest, listened to the faint buzz in his ears, and the corners of his mouth raised a shallow arc.
