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

However, after regaining his senses, Sasuke realized that Shigure's arrangement represented his approval of him.

The person at the front of the team is responsible for clearing the way and is also the first to deal with danger.

Placing him in such a dangerous position at the very front was not intended to target him; on the contrary, Sasuke felt that Shigure recognized his worth.

This pleased Sasuke, so he stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

Naruto didn't understand the point of Shigure's arrangement; it was just a simple journey, why make it so complicated!

The group of four set off.

Shiyu was at the back of the group, constantly observing all movements ahead.

At the same time, being wary of what's behind you makes this arguably the most arduous position.

However, since we haven't gone too far from Konoha yet, Shigure can take a break a little.

Yesterday, I successfully upgraded Boil Escape to the level of Composite Fusion, and last night I spent the whole night running the passive skill bar.

Ice Release also reached the fusion level this morning.

Both chakra control and chakra attributes met the requirements.

The only remaining issue is physical condition.

Of course, although the requirements have been met, the two Ice Release skills, Shigure, are not going to be canceled anytime soon.

However, the Ice Release: Ice World ninjutsu can be temporarily removed from the passive skill bar.

The Ice Release: Frozen Time ninjutsu can be enhanced.

What Shigure needs now is to increase the range of his freezing ability. As for the strength of his ice and snow power, it will also increase as his ice-escape technique improves.

Therefore, you can simply add Ice Release: Freeze Time to your skill bar.

The empty skill slot will be used to upgrade advanced physical skills!

At the same time, one of the two Boil Release techniques was directly reduced, leaving only one Boil Release technique - Heat Breath Blade.

Hanging it on the skill bar is also to continuously enhance the power of the Heat Breath Blade.

The empty slot is naturally filled with advanced physical techniques.

That makes four skill slots! The skills in the other three skill slots remain unchanged: Chakra Refining Technique, Basic Visual Illusion (573), and Advanced Taijutsu.

In this way, you'll have three advanced physical skills at the same time.

If you encounter a battle, immediately switch two of your physical techniques to Breathing Sword Technique.

This way, one can obtain a state where there is no consumption of escape, stamina, and the Breathing Sword Technique.

It was most helpful to Shigure.

'Looks like I'll have to figure out different skill configurations for PvE and PvP sometime!'

During battle, have the Great Sage help you switch!

[Great Sage: Yes]

Under the blazing sun, Sasuke, Naruto, and Shigure, as ninjas, felt the heat, but it was still within an acceptable range.

At the same time, it wasn't too tiring.

Kezna, on the other hand, needs to rest after walking for two hours.

It was only at this moment that Tazuna slowly began to realize the extraordinary nature of these three kids.

They were even stronger than an adult like him, especially since Naruto and Shigure had no sweat on their foreheads at all.

The other, somewhat aloof kid, only broke out in a slight sweat.

As expected of a Konoha ninja, even though he's just a kid, he's completely different from ordinary kids.

After walking for three or four hours, Shiyu finally noticed that something was wrong.

In this kind of weather, there were two puddles on either side of the road; it was an utterly idiotic camouflage.

Chapter 78 The Whetstone That Instantly Kills Shigure

When Shigure noticed something was wrong on the road.

Kakashi, who was behind them, also noticed it.

In such hot weather, there were actually two puddles by the roadside!

It's hard not to notice this. Putting aside where it came from, the fact that these two puddles haven't evaporated in this kind of weather is quite illogical.

'Can you spot it, you little devils!'

Although Shigure is very strong, Sasuke and Naruto are not weak either.

But when actually facing an enemy, what will their reaction be and will they dare to take action?

At the same time, it's hard to say whether or not people will notice these details.

As the group was about to walk into the enemy's ambush, Kakashi's hand involuntarily reached for his ninja tool bag.

Boom!

Suddenly, two ninjas sprang out from the sandbars on either side of the road.

The opponent brandished their weapon and launched an attack immediately.

And their targets are Sasuke and Naruto.

With Naruto and Sasuke dealt with, all that's left is to deal with Shigure.

Even if Shigure isn't killed, the other person can still kill Tazuna and complete the assassination mission.

The moment the two figures appeared, Sasuke was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered.

He pulled out a kunai and kicked the opponent at the same time.

Sasuke's reaction was quite good, and Kakashi nodded.

Naruto, on the other hand, froze on the spot—this was a stress response.

When faced with an unexpected situation, one's body becomes completely out of control, which is a terrible situation when facing an enemy.

But it's the first time! So it's understandable.

Kakashi looked at Shigure.

From the moment the enemy appeared until they attacked Naruto and Sasuke, Kakashi kept observing Shigure's situation.

Kakashi was quite surprised by Shigure's reaction, as he showed absolutely no reaction.

calm down!

calm!

It doesn't even affect breathing.

Shigure had clearly noticed the presence of these two guys long ago, so he wasn't panicked at all.

Seeing that Naruto couldn't move, Shigure simply raised his hand and threw a kunai.

Whoosh!

A whooshing sound suddenly echoed through the air.

Immediately afterwards, the person was pierced directly by a kunai.

Kakashi's lips twitched slightly upon seeing this; Shigure's power was terrifying.

The fact that even a thrown kunai could possess such penetrating power shows just how monstrous Shigure's power is.

A Chunin was killed.

Meanwhile, Sasuke repelled another Chunin who came to assassinate him.

However, they failed to kill the other party.

After the opponent fell to the ground, he quickly got up and found that his companion was already lying on the ground. The opponent panicked a little but did not waste any time and continued to attack Sasuke.

Stopping would mean certain death, while taking action offers a glimmer of hope.

Sasuke swung his kunai to block the opponent's attack.

It seemed that it wouldn't be possible to take it down anytime soon, and Shigure didn't make any further moves, which startled Tazuna, who was standing to the side.

"How come there are two people here?!"

No one answered his question.

Shigure came to Naruto's side and patted him on the shoulder. "Everyone has a first time. If you didn't do well enough, just make sure you don't do as badly as you did this time next time!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto, whose expression had been gloomy, immediately relaxed a lot.

He looked at the guy who had been killed by Shigure, still blaming himself for being unable to move.

It's very inappropriate for a ninja to be in this situation.

Boom! !

Meanwhile, Sasuke also defeated another Chunin. Although the opponent was a Chunin, Chunin is just a rank of ninja and does not necessarily represent strength.
