A week later.
"Shua shua shua!"
Three Shuriken flew out in a "Grade" (pǐn) formation, colliding with each other in mid-air. Amidst the splashing sparks, they scattered in different directions.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The Shuriken were embedded in different tree trunks, but each one accurately pierced a falling leaf.
Shin'yu slowly lowered his hand, glanced at Uchiha Hikari beside him, and said softly, "The Shuriken Technique is very easy for us Uchiha to master. I believe you will reach this level soon."
Hikari frowned slightly, "Can you be more specific? I don't understand."
Remember the first website domain 𝕥𝕨𝕜𝕒𝕟.𝕔𝕠𝕞
Shin'yu blinked, as if he was choked.
After Uchiha Hikari joined the team, he was surprised to find that his foundation was not the worst in the team.
In comparison, Hikari's fighting style was more savage. Whether it was because she had been sealed for too long or because her foundation was poor, she could only release Eye Technique. Her Taijutsu didn't even include the simplest routines. As for Chakra control and Shuriken Technique, they were even more crude.
This was similar to Kawaki in the original timeline, who could only control the power of the "Karma," but his basic training was terrible.
Even Lord Madara shook his head and only left these words:
'This kind of child's play, Shin'yu, you teach her.'
Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and said, "Cultivating Shuriken Technique requires sufficient observation and physical coordination. You have the Mangekyo Sharingan, so there's no need to talk about observation. Now, you just need to try to make your movements keep up with your thoughts. As for the technique of throwing Shuriken..."
He thought for a moment, stretched out a finger, and said with a smile, "According to your favorite way, whatever is comfortable!"
Uchiha Hikari's forehead was covered with Black Lines, and she said speechlessly, "Is that how Lord Madara taught you?"
"You may have misunderstood something. I wasn't taught by Lord Madara." Shin'yu spread his hands. "Frankly speaking, my foundation is also very poor, but I'm just a little bit stronger than you."
"You're lying."
She frowned, her tone calm, "You can accurately control the direction and landing point of hundreds of Shuriken. Teach me."
"Well... it's the accumulation of practice over time, plus some epiphanies at moments of life and death. Of course, the experience and guidance of companions are also very important."
Hikari tilted her head, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes, "Moments of life and death?"
"Alas, in the Warring States Period, not everyone was like you, as a winning weapon, only appearing at the crucial moment of the finale." Shin'yu shook his head. "As a foot soldier charging on the battlefield, if your ability to kill the enemy is not strong, you can only be cannon fodder. Many times, people's potential is forced out."
He picked up a Shuriken from the ground, "On the chaotic battlefield, if you don't throw accurately, you will put yourself and your companions in danger; similarly, if you can't move freely on the water, you can only be abused by the enemy in the water—"
With a "shua" sound, the Shuriken cut through the air, drawing a beautiful arc around the two, and finally returned to Shin'yu like a swallow returning to its nest, spinning on his fingertip.
"This... this is very good, teach me quickly." Hikari's beautiful eyes widened slightly, like a child who had found a favorite toy.
"Simple trajectory calculation, while considering wind direction, air humidity, etc., and then shua, hey... In short, it's shua~ hey..." Shin'yu gestured twice, looking quite like it.
Hikari clenched her small pink fist, and blue veins popped out on her smooth forehead, "If you perfunctory me again, I will kill you!"
"Uh, don't be so violent." Shin'yu recalled the fear of being dominated by Amaterasu, and his face was a little ugly.
"This is Lord Madara's Mission for you." She looked Shin'yu in the eyes, stretched out her small hand, "Teach me quickly."
"Focus," she added.
Shin'yu sighed. It seemed Lord Madara was destined to be a hands-off boss.
"It seems your desire to become stronger is even more urgent than mine," Shin'yu said. "Do you also think the Eye of the Moon Plan is feasible?"
Not long ago, Lord Madara formally introduced his "Eye of the Moon" plan to the two of them, including everything from the Rinnegan, the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, and the world-destroying Eye Technique of Infinite Tsukuyomi.
According to Lord Madara, these were all recorded on the Stone Tablet in the basement of the Naka Shrine, the ultimate secrets left behind by Uchiha's ancestor, Indra, which only the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan could fully decipher.
It was these that strengthened his belief and guided him on the path he was about to take.
But before that, Lord Madara decided to first examine the world situation and judge whether Hashirama's method had truly brought peace. If this peace was only superficial, as hypocritical as the Hidden Leaf Village accepting the Uchiha, then he would carry out his belief and immediately execute the "Eye of the Moon" plan.
"If Lord Madara thinks it's possible, then it is," Uchiha Hikari said indifferently.
She really is confident to the point of indifference... Shin'yu thought to himself.
He knew very well that the so-called "Infinite Tsukuyomi" plan was just a conspiracy set up by Black Zetsu to revive Kaguya Otsutsuki. The contents of the clan Stone Tablet had long been tampered with by Black Zetsu, and even Lord Madara had become a pawn used by him.
What "ideal world" and "true peace" were all a complete deception!
Black Zetsu, or rather Kaguya's ultimate goal, was actually to consolidate defenses after revival in order to cope with the arrival of the Otsutsuki Clan!
If Kaguya successfully revived, all the humans in the world would be turned into White Zetsu by the God Tree; if the Otsutsuki Clan from outer space successfully invaded, then all of humanity would become nutrients for the God Tree, devoured by the Otsutsuki Clan...
No matter which side succeeded, it would be devastating for the world.
The current Shinobi World seemed peaceful, a scene of harmony under the suppression of the two great gods, Hashirama and Lord Madara, but in reality, it hid countless dangers.
The Evil God of unknown origin...
Black Zetsu, manipulating things from the shadows...
Hamura's Descendants on the moon...
The Sage of Six Paths, in the Pure Land but spying on the world...
And Isshiki Otsutsuki, who had seized the body of the monk Jigen, survived for thousands of years, and had far-reaching plans...
The Shinobi World had too many uncertainties...
But even though Shin'yu knew all of this in advance, he couldn't say it, because no one would believe him if he did, and he might even put himself in danger.
For now, he could only silently become stronger by Lord Madara's side, wait for the right opportunity, and then become a chess player, completely controlling his own destiny.
The so-called low-key development, bah! A gentleman hides his talents and waits for the opportune moment, that's the idea.
"These are not things I should be considering now," Uchiha Hikari suddenly said, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes. "I only know that if I can't become stronger, I'll just be a burden and will definitely be abandoned."
...
Afternoon.
Uchiha Hikari stretched out one foot and stepped on a tree trunk. After condensing Chakra at the sole of her foot, she took a deep breath and stepped on it with her other foot, her body perpendicular to the tree trunk at a 90-degree angle.
She was training her control and balance of Chakra.
From directly above, Shin'yu's voice came:
"For a Ninja, walking on trees or water is just a way of operating Chakra. The principle is to use Chakra to change the physical properties of the fiber molecules in contact with the soles of the feet, affecting the way hydrogen bonds work, thereby increasing the adhesion of the tree trunk to the soles of the feet. The difficulty lies in the need to constantly switch the condensed state of Chakra while walking..."
Hikari, with a small, strained face, tried her best to take two steps before falling.
She rubbed her bottom as she stood up, lifting her head to look up at the figure on the tree, her expression a mix of speechlessness and envy.
On the tree, Shin'yu was hanging upside down, his feet firmly attached to the underside of a branch, his black hair standing on end, his natural posture like a self-possessed bat.
He held a scroll in his hands, casually replying, "You're too focused. My suggestion is to try to control your Chakra in the most comfortable way possible, imagine yourself walking on flat ground, and gradually turn it into an instinct..."
Uchiha Hikari took a deep breath, her expression serious, and continued her attempts.
Shin'yu ignored her, his gaze never leaving the scroll in front of him.
"Spiritualization Technique: Separates one's spiritual energy and physical energy, and materializes the spiritual energy to form a stable 'Spiritual Body', and uses it to fight. Its effect goes beyond the concept of ordinary Ninjutsu.
The Spiritual Body itself has the caster's consciousness, can fly at high speed, traverse regardless of terrain, ignore all physical attacks, can possess enemies, causing their spirits to collapse from within and die, and can enter the spiritual world of others, forcibly controlling their bodies.
Once this technique is mastered, the soul will become specialized, giving rise to a super-wide range of perception, allowing one to sense the souls of others, no matter how far away or whether they know the other person's location in advance. After transforming into a Spiritual Body, one can arrive at the other person's body in the first instance.
Depending on the situation and the user's will, many things can be done, such as transmitting information or confirming the other person's life or death, and it can also be used to provide Chakra to the other person.
But it has a fatal weakness: when the Spiritual Body leaves the Physical Body, the Physical Body is extremely vulnerable to attack. If the Physical Body is lost, the Spiritual Body will soon dissipate and die."
"This is simply the legendary 'Astral Projection'!" Shin'yu nodded repeatedly as he read, further strengthening his determination to master this technique.
The reason it is an S-Rank Ninjutsu is because the threshold for cultivating the Spiritualization Technique is extremely high. Cultivators must possess high-quality Yin Release Chakra. Moreover, astral projection is an extremely dangerous thing in itself. Those without great Willpower do not even have the courage to cultivate it.
Just then, a figure landed on the branch, causing the two to look up at the same time.
Black clothes fluttered, long hair reached the waist, carrying a War Fan and Scythe, it was Uchiha Madara.
"How is the training going?"
"Not good." Hikari raised her small face and pointed at Shin'yu, frankly reporting, "He can't teach me."
What?
Damn, you look so innocent, but you're actually snitching on me, and right in front of me!
Shin'yu was taken aback, hooked his foot on the branch, and swayed to stand on the branch. "That... Lord Madara, her Shuriken Technique has improved greatly. If we only consider one Shuriken, she has already achieved one hundred hits out of one hundred throws. It's just that her Chakra control level needs to be improved."
"He's lying, I can't learn his methods at all." Hikari continued, never failing to shock.
Shin'yu broke out in a cold sweat.
"Teach with more care." Madara glanced at him faintly.
"Definitely, definitely." Shin'yu nodded guiltily.
"Compared to this..." He quickly changed the subject, "Lord Madara, what did you gain from this trip?"
"Just a simple visit to an old friend." Madara revealed a sneer, "Investigating people's livelihood is destined to be a long process, we still have a long way to go."
