Chapter XXII: New Problems
Since the desert of the Land of Winds, the battle between the two has changed more than a dozen terrains, and none of them have been conducive to the environment of Yi Yong.
Right now, they're in a place they're quite familiar with each other, in the middle of the street in Konoha and in front of the garrison's office building.
After nearly half an hour of fighting, Yiyong, whether it is physical strength or chakra, has reached the point of the end of the crossbow, the wounds on his body are dense, just looking at the appearance, he is enough to star in the most terrifying children's horror movie without makeup.
"Uchiha Ryu Hinosa Dance!"
The Uchiha water-stopping body and the three shadow clones swung up at the same time with a violent upward flame stream.
Yi Yong, who was injured in the leg in the previous battle, was affected by the fierce white light like a halo on the flames because he did not close the writing wheel eye, and this time he had no time to dodge, so he could only choose to use his back to get close to one of the clones, and at the cost of only taking one damage, he was like a rocket that was launched.
But the intense heat of the flames poured into his body, and a cough burst out of his mouth like a running wild horse, accompanied by charred black blood.
At this moment, Yi Yong's injuries were so serious that he could no longer use the world to control the lungs in his body that were burned by the heat.
From the moment the Uchiha Shisui decided to fight with all his might, Yoshiyo never had the upper hand at all, because the other party knew the importance of promoting his strengths and avoiding his weaknesses, and he would not fight in close combat at all.
Yi Yongkong has a very powerful sword technique, but he can't hit anyone, even if he rushes forward, Zhishui will immediately open up the distance, followed by a series of shadow clones, shuriken skills, and fire escape, wind escape ninjutsu. Even if Yi Yong has extremely high dynamic vision, he can't completely dodge a wide range of ninjutsu attacks.
Over time, minor injuries become more and drag down the body's operating efficiency, and there are serious injuries, just like now.
But he wasn't completely without results......
After this battle, Yi Yong has decided to learn some long-range attack methods and ninjutsu in case of emergency.
In particular, he must learn all kinds of methods of quickly approaching the enemy, otherwise he will not be able to give full play to his advantages.
From this point of view, one of the purposes of Zhishui's competition with him, to arouse Yiyong's interest in ninjutsu, has been achieved.
"It's over, Brave."
Zhishui wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead a little tiredly.
Itachi's younger brother is really unbelievably strong-willed, and few of those ferocious iron-blooded mist ninjas have fought to this extent.
He could be sure that although Yi Yong was using some means to control his injuries, the blood flowing from his body was enough to make him faint twice.
But he still survived, and he survived until now.
But if he continues to fight like this, he will have to cheat and replenish his chakra.
As for the kaleidoscope technique, in the illusion space of other gods, it can't be used, and even if it can, he doesn't plan to use it.
Because in that case, the gap between the combat effectiveness of the two sides is too large, and the volunteers will not be able to learn anything.
Looking at the righteous courage who was pushed to the highest point and began to decline after a short pause, Zhishui's eyes condensed, and the twenty-ninth Yin seal of today was formed.
"Fire Escape: Hao Fireball Technique!"
And his three clones are the handprints of another technique: "Wind Escape: Great Breakthrough!" β
Sudden surging air currents filled the streets.
The violent wind pressure carried a large red fireball into the sky at a high speed, like a burning sun crashing into the moon.
Yi Yong stopped coughing and stared intently at the tongue of fire that was getting closer and closer, calmly calculating the distance between each other in his heart.
When the fireball was less than three meters away from him, Yi Yong flipped his body, and the annular water blade rotated around him like a propeller in a high-speed operation, and the jagged edge directly cut through the incoming fireball, and then broke away from Yi Yong's body and ran downward!
The three doppelgangers of the water stop were cut in half by the suddenly expanding waterwheel, but the main body was nowhere to be seen.
After the first blow, Yi Yong's condition was significantly worse.
He felt that his eyes were dark, and he could barely see what was in front of him, and when he opened his eyes again, everything was spinning, and the water blades at the tips of his fingers began to deform......
The "Nino-type waterwheel" of the same size used this trick on the streets of Konoha cost more than three times as much chakra as it did at sea. This shows how important the environment is to the Water Ninja.
That is, in the moment of his trance, dozens of strands with stainless steel wires flew through his armpits, neck, ankles, wrists and knees like needles and threads, and then strained violently, binding Yiyong tightly and pulling it into a flat big character.
After a sharp pain in his skin, Yoshito found himself hung directly above the main street of Konoha with a web of silk threads, blood dripping down from his broken skin......
There's no way, in his current situation, even if he can see the attack, he can't dodge it at all.
"Righteousness, it's over."
Stopping the water stepped on a thin line across the street not far away, steady as a light bird.
"Sometimes, admitting defeat or begging for mercy is also a strategy, not something to be ashamed of."
The purpose of his contest this time is to teach Yiyong how to deal with ninjas, and of course, how to save his life if he is captured.
But after glancing at the dense punctures, cuts, and burns all over Yiyong's body, he felt that it might be difficult to talk about Yiyong.
Most geniuses in the world have died because of this pride. And the pride of the Uchiha is usually multiplied by 3 times.
"If you're willing to throw in the towel, just make a gesture and we'll call it a day and go to lunch."
Zhishui touched his chin, "But if you don't want to, you can only bear the corresponding consequences."
"If it's a real enemy, you can only anger the other party if you hold on like this. Being killed is already the best outcome.
"On the contrary, surrendering and admitting defeat can often usher in the opportunity to fight back or be rescued."
[Maybe if he feels the fear of death once, he won't have to be so desperate when he meets other ninjas......]
At this moment, Zhishui is still thinking about how to let Yiyong learn enough lessons.
But the bruised Yiyong really did not throw himself as he expected, but began to shake the silk threads that entwined his body without saying a word, and his blood-stained but cold face carried a touch of heart-palpitating tenacity.
It's hard to imagine that his only record before that was a fight with a few and a half children.
Why was he able to endure such pain? γ
[Or did he overcome his fear of pain because he knew absolutely calmly that it was just an illusion?] γ
"In that case......
Shisui knew that no matter which way it was possible, the child's psychological work could only be done slowly by Itachi and Sasuke.
[In particular, this way of fighting without regard for one's own body needs to be corrected urgently. γ
"I had to force the fight to end.
"It's also a unique experience for you to feel what it's like to die like this in advance."
Itachi pursed his lips nervously, worried about the impact this might have on Yoshiyo, and hoped that the battle would end soon. Although it was only an illusion, every time Yiyong was injured expressionlessly, there would be an invisible knife on his heart.
But since he was determined to leave home alone to cultivate, he had to pass this level, otherwise he wouldn't be able to let go at all.
Why did Shisui keep fighting Yoshito in the Uchiha way after telling Yoshito how to deal with the dark part? He is brave in teaching, and Itachi knows very well.
He wasn't on either side at all. Neither side can be fully trusted.
After stopping the water, he immediately jumped up high, and while completing the seal, his chest and mouth swelled at the same time.
"Fire Escape, Dragon Fire Technique!"
The flaming faucet, which had been orange and yellow, like a furniture carving, carried an extremely distorted air and swooped down on the tightly bound Righteous Bravery.
At a distance of nearly ten meters, Yi Yong felt that his already insensitive face seemed to be coated with a layer of wax, dry and numb, as for his eyes, his eyes were burning and painful, and his nasal cavity even had the special smell of burning and curling up with a fever.
Although the scale of this move is small, it is not the kind of fireball that simply creates explosions and visual interference.
The flame temperature of the Fire Dragon Technique is extremely high, and if it hits it squarely, Yi Yong will be killed in an instant, and he will not suffer too much pain.
In this way, the water is still soft-hearted.
[Is this the power of ordinary forbearance? What a dangerous place......]
[But if I can last so long, Shi Tou and Purgatory will only be stronger than me.] γ
Yi Yong knew it was just a drill......
But he couldn't say the words to admit defeat or surrender.
In addition to the integrity and sense of honor as a water pillar, it is also because of the imaginary enemy of righteousness and bravery, not the hostile ninja in the eyes of Shisui and Itachi, nor the high-level of the village in the eyes of the clan, but the huge monster that almost killed their brother and three in the rubble six years ago.
He didn't believe that there was only one monster in such a big ninja world. I wonder if those things are like the twelve ghost moons, maybe when they will reappear......
But the creature taller than the village, with eyes similar to Onimai Tsuji's, and wantonly destroying everything, and unable to communicate, will listen to his pleas for mercy?
Probably not.
Therefore, if you do not have the confidence to win, you must be prepared to die.
[Only by facing death as if you were injured can you fight any opponent without any obstacles. γ
Yi Yong looked at the fire dragon that was getting closer and closer, closed his eyes slightly, and the last trace of waves on the heart lake disappeared completely.
His heart is like water, which is what he is now.
It is not a despair of giving up resistance or waiting for relief, but the threat of death as if it were an ordinary thing.
As long as this is the case, when facing a truly dangerous enemy, you will not make mistakes because of superfluous feelings such as fear and anger.
This is the unshakable measure of the water column.
["Brave, imagine the water...... Imagine the surface of the water without waves...... The breath of water is an unloading shield that can resist any attack......"]
Master Scale's words appeared in his ears.
"Water Breath ......"
The fire dragon was less than a meter away from him, and Yiyong's clothes were ignited by the high temperature, and the skin on his face was directly cracked and deformed.
"Eleven-type ......"
Suddenly, a huge drop of ice-blue water fell from his ankle and floated in the air, then spread out like a rolling wave, printing the surrounding area in the same color, like Katsushika Hokusai's Kanagawa surfing picture into reality......
The space where Yi Yong is located has long been like a dream, half real and half virtual.
"Nagi (zhi sound, not pronounced gang)."
At the moment when the roaring fire dragon was about to engulf Yi Yong, it disappeared out of thin air, as if breaking into a different space that no one could see.
Also disappeared was the flame on Yiyong's body.
The ice-blue liquid beneath his body spread wider and wider as if it had been replenished suddenly, like a beautiful lake made of translucent mercury reflecting the sky, reaching its limit at a radius of about ten meters, but eventually reversing and shrinking like a time turn, as if consciously burrowing back into the center of Yiyong's feet.
Yi Yong opened his eyes, but his scorched face was more energetic than before the weird one.
γStamina and Chakra...... Are all replenished? The injury has also recovered a lot......]
He stretched out his hand and tugged hard, and directly tore off the silk thread holding his right hand on the spot.
This is the ninjutsu ability of the Eleven-type that neutralizes all the ninjutsu that enters the range of "Nagi" and the non-blood inheritance limit, decomposes it into chakra and physical strength, and then replenishes and repairs one's body.
The most important thing is that this trick doesn't require much chakra! The key is to be brave enough to enter that state of absolute calm.
To defeat Righteous Brave within Nagi's area of effect, the only way to do so is to use the Water Escape and Blood Relay Limit abilities - in other words, you must defeat Righteous Brave in the area he is best at.
Itachi's eyes widened for some reason, and he came to Shisui in an instant.
"What's going on?"
"I didn't do it."
Zhishui shook his head incredulously, "I don't know exactly what the situation is, he obviously didn't even hold a knife in his hand......"
Then, he waved his hand at Yi Yong, who had already broken free from the silk thread: "Enough is enough, I won't fight." β
[If I don't cheat, I will only have three chakras of the fire dragon left......]
After saying that, a fierce white light flashed in the eyes of Itachi and Yiyong at the same time.
When they came to their senses, they were back in the mountain stream hut where Nanga River was, as evidenced by the roaring waterfall, and for the first time, Itachi thought the sound was so pleasant.
After checking that he was out of the hallucination, he quickly turned to Yiyong and was relieved to make sure that he did not have any wounds on his body and did not show any symptoms of a nervous breakdown.
"Yiyong, even if you win this time. As agreed......"
Zhishui paused, stretched a big waist, and then leaned forward and put his arms on the table, folded his hands and rested his chin on it, and stared at Yiyong with slightly tired eyes like a baby.
"I won't lend you anything. I won't need this place anyway, and everything here will be yours in the future. Anyway, then again, this is the real estate of the clan. β
Yi Yong blinked, unable to tell whether it was surprise or embarrassment.
"Is that good?"
"It won't be long before I'm going to leave the shadows and patrol the waters around the Land of Water. You're so virtuous, take good care of here. β
He smiled heartily, "Anyway, I can't think of anything more suitable to hide your power than this valley." That last moment really scared me. β
"I'll repay you."
Yi Yong desperately needed such a secret and safe place to practice the breath of fire, so he didn't say no.
Anyway, the breath of the moon is not strictly a thing of the Ghost Slayer, and after learning it, it will be used as a return gift and then taught to stop the water.
In Yi Yong's observation, since he had practiced the Water Breath for many years, he could have an extremely high water attribute chakra affinity.
Then let the breath of the moon be practiced by stopping the water, and it should also be able to increase the mastery of the yin attribute chakra. He loves illusions so much, he's going to need this.
The only problem is that he's afraid he'll have to wait a few more years.
"Since you say that, I'll always look forward to it, Yiyong."
Shisui raised a bright smile, then put the bamboo tube on the table, poked it lightly, and rolled towards the weasel.
What is contained inside is the ninjutsu scroll that Yi Yong learned before Shui Dun and Water Blade Slash, and it has the experience of the second generation Hokage Thousand Hands practicing Shui Dun all his life.
"During the time I left the village, I will leave this thing to you for safekeeping."
He looked like he was asking someone for help, and it was quite like that.
Itachi didn't want to take something so precious.
Because he knew that once he took it, even if he wanted to send it back to Zhishui at that time, the other party would not be able to take it back, and most of them would say some kind of clumsy excuse of "I'm still busy, you can help me keep it for a while".
And the real purpose of stopping the water should be to let yourself learn the above techniques, and then teach Yiyong.
The reason why Zhishui didn't give it directly to Yiyong was because he was worried that giving both things to Yiyong at once would make him unhappy.
[I really like to take care of others......]
In the end, the ferret, with the eager eyes of the elder brother, couldn't refuse at all, so he could only take the bamboo tube and hold it in his hand without saying a word.
The thing is obviously not heavy, but he has rushed to a heavy trust and expectation.
So far......
Yi Yong finally has a place where he can secretly cultivate the breath of fire.
He looked at the misty waterfall in the distance, determined to accomplish this goal before the ninja school opened.
It's just that it seems to be a troublesome thing for the resurrected Purgatory Kyojuro to stay in Konoha Village reasonably and legally.
And this is the next problem he will solve.
