I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

【…】

[Analysis complete]

[The Great Sage: It can be calculated]

"Then let's begin the calculations! I will manipulate the power of ice and snow..."

[Calculation begins]

[Estimated time: 12 hours]

Twelve hours?

This isn't too slow, but Shigure can speed it up a little.

Seven passive skill slots.

The passive skill slots 1-3 are Chakra Refinement, Advanced Taijutsu, and Basic Visual Illusion!

Passive skills 4 and 5 are all Breathing.

The remaining passive skill slots 6 and 7 are now all equipped with Ice Release: Frozen Time!

[Skill in operation]

Shigure waited silently.

To Shigure's surprise, the Ice Release: Frozen Moment technique actually took quite a long time to activate.

It took a full three minutes to complete the process.

Running once every three minutes, or 20 times an hour, is a rather slow pace.

However, if both skill slots are equipped at the same time, then it can run 40 times per hour.

At the same time, each Ice Escape and Freeze moment can be enhanced while it is running.

The enhancement of Ice Release can reduce the calculation time of the Great Sage.

And the enhancements to the Frozen Moment spell go without saying.

This technique will become increasingly powerful.

The only thing to worry about is that the chakra consumed will gradually increase.

However, this problem is not without a solution; at worst, you can add two Ice Release skills to your skill bar.

Using Ice Release in this way is a zero-cost state.

Even if you consume a lot of chakra, there's no need to worry at all.

During the system calculation, Shiyu also had something to do: update her skill status.

Make the Ice Release: Frozen Moment skill state more and more perfect.

As Shigure began to unleash Ice Release: Frozen Moment, everything within a ten-meter radius began to freeze.

As time went by, snowflakes slowly drifted down.

As the Frozen state in the skill bar continues to run, Shigure's freezing range is constantly expanding.

Meanwhile, Shigure's Ice Release technique consumed no energy and continued until late at night.

In five hours, Shiyu updated the status of her skills seven times. The continuous updates to the skill status also meant that the limits that Shiyu could achieve were constantly increasing.

The Great Sage's calculation time was also reduced to seven hours.

With two hours left, Shigure decided not to wait any longer.

It's already late at night, and Shigure has to get up early tomorrow because the ninja class assignments will be held.

In five hours, the freezing area of ​​Shiyu had expanded to a distance of thirty-six meters.

Its power has increased more than three times.

At the same time, the freezing speed is reduced by half, and it only takes five or six seconds to freeze everything within range.

Shigure can also control chakra, focusing on quickly freezing something within a certain range.

The freeze time is about three seconds, depending on the size of the target.

However, freezing only freezes the surface; to completely allow the cold air to penetrate the interior...

It still needs about ten seconds.

Chapter 60: Helping Sakura Avoid Two Years of Detours

When Shigure got home, she didn't wait any longer for the Ice Release ninjutsu that she could finish calculating in an hour!

Instead, they went straight to sleep.

Shigure woke up early the next morning.

The Ice Release ninjutsu calculated yesterday has also been completed.

Shiyu took a quick look.

【Ice Release ~A World of Ice and Snow】

The name is not bad.

The effect was basically as required by the simultaneous rain.

[Ice Release ~Ice World: Can be used without hand seals, but requires Ice Release ~Frozen Time to activate. Maintaining Frozen Time consumes double the chakra.]

Create a world of ice and snow within the frozen moment, and manipulate all the ice and snow for attack or defense.

[Ice and snow can transform into ice crystals, ice blocks, and various other forms of ice and snow according to the host's wishes.]

[Simultaneously consuming chakra allows for the unlimited creation of ice and snow within the jutsu's coverage area.]

Enemies or objects touched by ice and snow will be struck by the cold air and quickly frozen.

I am very satisfied with the results of this procedure.

This is basically the same as he had planned, but it will probably consume a lot of chakra!

Shigure had previously experienced the chakra consumption of the Frozen Moment. Based on Shigure's current chakra reserves, without using his ninjutsu...

It can only maintain the frozen state for about half an hour.

The Ice and Snow World technique requires double the chakra consumption during the freezing process.

It seems that if we want to use Ice Release in the future, we must make Ice Release have the ability to be consumed without cost.

Otherwise, Shigure wouldn't be able to sustain this rate of chakra consumption for long.

The passive skill 7 has been changed to Ice Release: Ice World.

While this doesn't allow you to achieve a zero-cost state, you can simply switch to two Ice Release techniques during battle.

Arriving at the ninja academy.

Naruto arrived early and was the first to greet Shigure upon seeing him.

"Shigure, over here!"

Shigure nodded to Naruto, but then turned and sat down next to Ino.

Shikamaru frowned and looked at Shigure. "Why do I always feel like you bring a cold wind?"

"Is there?" The aura of Ice Release was leaked?

Not so!

Choji, standing nearby, exclaimed, "No! I didn't feel anything!"

Shikamaru waved his hand. "I guess I was mistaken!"

After just one night, Shikamaru sensed that Shigure had changed a lot, and these changes were not as simple as they seemed!

Shigure suddenly remembered that today was Naruto and Sasuke's first on-screen kiss!

I don't know if I'll ever have the chance to see it.

He glanced at Naruto, who was grinning at him in a daze, and then at Sasuke in the distance, who had a gloomy expression and kept glancing at him.

Why does this guy seem to like spying on me?

What's wrong with Uchiha Sasuke?

When Sasuke was discovered, he turned his head away in embarrassment and pretended to look elsewhere.

Shi Yu was a little confused; what did this mean?

Sasuke noticed that everyone was surrounding Shigure. In the past, Shigure could talk to anyone and was considered to be quite popular.

Since Shigure changed, it seems like everyone revolves around her.

Recently, even Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame have been taking the time to chat with Shigure from time to time.

This guy seems to be more popular now.

"Congratulations on becoming genin!"

Iruka had already entered while everyone was whispering.
