Chapter 128 The Secret to Immortality, Developing Ice Release (Please Subscribe and Vote)
Sarutobi Sankage and the others were responsible for collecting the corpses, while Genichi Jushita thawed Hozuki Mugetsu and then applied a sealing technique to him, thus obtaining a living teacher.

Genichi was still very interested in the Water Transformation Technique.

As far as we know, this technique is not a bloodline limit, but a secret technique.

It could be a secret technique based on the special physique of the Hozuki clan, or it could be a simple water-style secret technique.

If it's the former, then cultivation might be impossible; if it's the latter, then there's no problem.

After handing Hozuki Mugetsu over to Akido Doto to carry, Genichi Kishita was about to give the order to leave when he couldn't help but turn around and look to the north.

Three figures suddenly appeared.

"Xuanyi!"

Might Guy exclaimed.

"Kai!"

Genichi greeted him with a smile: "Genma, Ebisu!"

These three unlucky guys.

The Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist are all gone. If they don't stop these two elite Mist Village squads, the tragedy may repeat itself.

No.

It seems unlikely that Might Guy will be there to save the day this time.

In the original timeline, Might Guy rushed to the battlefield after hearing that the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist had penetrated deep into the Land of Fire.

"Why are you here?"

Xuan Yi stepped forward from under the tree.

Mighty scratched his head and laughed, "We were assigned to be stationed nearby, and when we heard the commotion of battle, we came to check it out. We didn't expect it to be Xuan Yi and you guys."

"Unfortunately, it seems we're too late."

"Xuanyi, have all the enemies been dealt with?"

Genma Shiranui sighed inwardly, "That guy Kai is really oblivious. Doesn't he see the terrifying battlefield right in front of him?"

"At the current temperature, there's absolutely no way there could be such a large amount of ice. Was this caused by an ice escape technique?"

"Also, this lake must have been created by water-based techniques, right?"

"There must have been a fierce battle here. With our strength, we wouldn't have been able to participate at all!"

Wearing sunglasses, Ebisu was also secretly observing. Seeing the prisoner that Akimichi Tou was carrying, he secretly wondered, "There's only one prisoner. Have all the other enemies been killed?"

Genichi Shushita replied to Might Guy, "The battle is over."

"You must be careful, the people from Kirigakure might break through the front lines and infiltrate the rear."

Did you bring signal flares?

Genma Shiranui nodded: "I brought it."

"Xuanyi, how's the situation at the front?"

"We've heard that the Mist Ninja's attacks are very fierce."

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "That's right."

"But now that you've appeared here, the village's reinforcements have arrived, and the Mist Ninja won't succeed."

"Alright, we're leaving now. Be careful!"

During the mission, there wasn't much time for reminiscing, so Genichi led Ina Uzumaki and the others away.

After watching Genichi and the others leave, Ebisu leaped onto the ice.

Click!

The ice was already melting, and now it was being stepped on, causing cracks.

"The Ice Release Kekkei Genkai of Kirigakure is truly terrifying!"

Ebisu was amazed.

Genma Shiranui landed beside Ebisu and nodded, saying, "Such an enemy was dealt with by Genichi and the others."

Ebisu sighed, "I really don't know how that guy Genichi cultivated."

Genma Shiranui shrugged: "Talent!"

While the two were talking, Matt Kai was playing on the ice, making a series of cracking sounds.

……

When Genichi and his group of five returned to the front-line headquarters, Jiraiya had just returned as well.

Seeing that Genichi and his group of five had dealt with the infiltration team from Kirigakure, Jiraiya breathed a huge sigh of relief.

If this problem isn't resolved, Konoha will have to expend several times the resources of Kirigakure to wipe them out.

"Now that the problem is solved, Xuan Yi, you can return to the village to report after you have rested!"

Jiraiya said.

Shuxia Xuan nodded, then asked, "Have the village's reinforcements arrived?"

Jiraiya replied, "Fugaku Uchiha is personally leading the team, but it is still somewhat inferior to Kirigakure, and some of the troops cannot be sent to the front line immediately."

Genichi Kishita guessed that Jiraiya was probably referring to the seedlings like Might Guy.

"This is the list!"

Jiraiya took out a list.

Genichi Shushita took it and glanced around, noticing that Shizune was also there.

However, he was assigned to the medical team.

Young talents like Might Guy and Sarutobi Asuma were often assigned to build new defensive lines in the rear, either to guard the medical corps or to maintain the logistics line.

But Genichi Kishita also understood that this arrangement was only temporary.

Even when there aren't enough people, we still have to fill in the gaps.

"Jiraiya-sensei, I'm leaving!"

After putting down the list, Genichi Shushita turned and left.

Jiraiya looked up and muttered to himself, "What a little monster."

……

After leaving the tent, Genichi and Ina arrived at the medical team's camp, but seeing Shizune busy at work, they didn't disturb her and turned to leave.

After resting for two hours, Genichi led his team away from the front line and back to Konoha.

Meanwhile, the Hidden Mist Village's attack showed no signs of stopping.

As Yagura said, Genichi Kinoshita is very strong, but he cannot change the overall situation of the battle.

On the vast battlefield, he could only influence the outcome of local battles.

Unless this particular part can determine the outcome of the entire war.

However, battles in which Genichi Shushita's shadow clones participated are not included in this category.

Even eliminating the elite infiltration team from Kirigakure only resolved one crisis for Konoha, but it still couldn't immediately determine the outcome of this battle.

From morning onwards, the Mist Ninja launched a relentless attack, like waves crashing against Konoha's defenses without any pause.

Even with the arrival of reinforcements, Konoha's fourth line of defense only held out until the next two points before being torn apart by the Mist Ninja.

Even Genichi Kinoshita couldn't change the fact that Konoha had abandoned its fourth line of defense.

However, as time went on, Konoha's defenses thinned, but the number of troops increased, making it even more difficult for the Mist Ninja to break through.

This is destined to be a protracted war.

When Genichi and the others returned to Konoha, it was already dark.

Akimichi Touhou was instructed to send the prisoners to the intelligence department, while Genichi Kishita went to the Hokage's office to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi listened quietly, then said, "Well done. The prisoners will be sent to Konoha Hospital after interrogation by the intelligence department."

"Go back and rest!"

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Yes!"

Back at the Dark Side base, after removing their equipment and disbanding the squad, Genichi Kinoshita and Ina Uzumaki went home.

"Although it's only been two days, it feels like this mission has been going on for a long time."

Walking down the street, Uzumaki Ina couldn't help but stretch.

Genichi Shushita smiled and said, "It's because too many things have happened."

Uzumaki Ina nodded, then said, "I don't know when the war will end. I still prefer the days of training in the village."

Turning to look at Xuan Yi under the tree, she silently added: There are also the days spent with Lord Xuan Yi.

Although they were together while carrying out their missions, it wasn't the same.

She loves the feeling of home.

"The war is unlikely to end so easily."

Genichi Shushita, hands behind his head, said, "It's only just begun."

"But it will end sooner or later, we will definitely make it to the end."

Uzumaki Ina smiled and nodded: "Mm!"

No one is more powerful than Master Xuan!

When they returned home and saw their son and future daughter-in-law, Noji and Minako were overjoyed.

The whole village now knows about the war, and naturally they are worried about their son.

I couldn't be happier to see my son back now.

So Genichi's father continued to watch over the dumpling shop, while his mother, Minako, went upstairs to cook, and Uzumaki Ina immediately followed to help.

Genichi Shushita went to the bathroom, filled the tub with hot water, and soaked in it.

"Comfortable!"

Genichi Shushita rested his hands on the edge of the bathtub, closed his eyes, and enjoyed the moment while deep in thought.

Today was the first time he had directly used the Eight-Tails' chakra in battle, and his speed, strength, and reaction speed had all been greatly improved.

Fierce and ferocious.

This is due to the high quality of the tailed beast's chakra.

"This kind of combat mode is indeed quite fun, but it lacks skill and is a bit too brutal."

"If my chakra quality could reach the level of the Eight-Tails..."

Genichi under the tree pondered to himself.

At this moment, within the Eight Trigrams Seal, the Eight-Tails' chakra leaked out and was then converted into its own physical energy through the circulation system constructed by the Eight Trigrams Seal.

Tailed beasts are indeed amazing creations. They are aggregates of chakra, but they also have physical bodies. Therefore, tailed beast chakra can directly restore physical strength.

It's physical strength, not chakra.

In other words, through the Bagua seal, the power of the Eight-Tailed Fox is continuously absorbed by Genichi's cells and becomes nourishment.

"My physique is actually constantly affected by the power of the tailed beasts, although I don't usually feel it."

"This subtle change doesn't seem like the drastic change that comes with becoming the Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki."

"If given enough time, I wonder if my physical body could be altered to be infinitely close to the Eight-Tails, thereby making the quality of the extracted chakra infinitely close to that of the Eight-Tails?"

There's enough time—ten years definitely won't be enough, twenty or thirty years might not be enough either…

"Luckily, I used cheat codes."

Xuan Yi sighed under the tree.

A ninja's chakra is a combination of physical and mental energy, and at this point, the physical body often determines the quality of the chakra.

Unless... like the Uchiha clan, whose bloodline limit enhancement comes from a mental mutation that leads to changes in chakra.

Mind and body!
Genichi was deep in thought under the tree.

Tailed Beast Power!

A change in properties!

Immortal mode!

This is a method that can now be definitively said to change the quality of chakra.

But there is another challenge: the feedback of chakra to the body and mind.

Leaving aside the mental aspect, there isn't even a good solution for the physical aspect yet.

"Next, I will work hard to develop the potential brought by Ice Release and see how it goes, whether it can bring about a significant change in physical condition, or even an improvement in the quality of chakra."

"The path of Tailed Beast Chakra can only be slowly worn down over time, and the next overdraft is not far away."

"Sage Mode, Sage Body..."

Genichi Shushita is certain that Sage Mode does not equate to Sage Body.

Take the three holy lands for example; they don't need to enter Sage Mode like Jiraiya and his group.

Genichi Shushita suspected that the Slug Sage, Gamamaru, and White Snake Sage directly absorbed natural energy through their bodies, or rather, through their cells.

What they used was naturally sage power, or sage chakra.

Jugo, who goes berserk, is probably half a sage. If he can control himself from going berserk, then he should be a sage body, feeding directly on natural energy.

"If only we could study the immortals from the three holy lands..."

A wicked thought arose in Genichi's mind.

Moreover, he was very curious whether the Sage of Six Paths' physical body had become that of a sage.

If it were like a toad pill, it should live a very long time.

There are too many questions.

Genichi Shushita couldn't help but curse inwardly: "What does a comic artist know about Naruto? He's made a complete mess of it."

Wow!

Genichi Shushita opened his eyes, got up, and stepped out of the bathtub.

After drying himself off, he couldn't help but shake himself, quite satisfied.

He's already so talented at such a young age; in a few more years he'll be able to unleash his full potential.

Put on your clothes and go out to cook.

After finishing his meal, Genichi under the tree went out alone using the Flying Thunder God Technique and came to a small lake in the back mountains of Konoha.

The shadow clone had previously come here to train in Ice Release.

Now that Genichi under the tree has come here again, it is naturally to develop Ice Release.

Today I tried it out, and the Ice Release technique worked quite well, directly defeating the Water Transformation Technique.

So the next step is to carefully consider the development direction of Ice Release.
