Naruto: Countless versions of myself superimposed at the same time!

Kiyohara raised his hand and touched his forehead, his fingertips brushing against the slightly raised mark. He nodded and said:

"That's right."

Kiyohara nodded.

I've succeeded in becoming a ninja!

The tent fell silent for a moment.

Tsunade stood up, yawned, and squinted her eyes into slits.

Then she opened her eyes, reached out and lifted Kiyohara's chin, making Kiyohara tilt his head back slightly, and carefully examined the mark with her brown-gold eyes.

After a while, Tsunade released her grip and looked at the young disciple in front of her again.

Kiyohara stood there, his childishness largely gone after being ravaged by repeated battles.

Moreover, due to the multiple accumulations, Kiyohara's development speed was much faster than that of his peers, making him appear taller than average.

Tsunade suddenly felt a strong sense of disorientation.

She recalled the first time she met Kiyohara. At that time, Kiyohara was just beginning to show his talent, but he was still a junior who needed her guidance.

And now...

"The younger generation surpasses the older generation."

Tsunade sighed softly, but a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

As a teacher, the sense of accomplishment of producing such a student is incomparable to winning money in any gambling game.

"It's all thanks to the teachers' excellent instruction."

Qingyuan spoke.

That's true. Tsunade really doesn't hold back; she teaches whatever she knows.

The only remaining drawbacks might be that he always tempts his disciples to drink, and... he doesn't pay back his debts?

Tsunade waved her hand:

"Don't give me that. Your own hard work and talent are the key."

She paused for a moment, then said seriously.

"Now that the Yin Seal is complete, I will teach you the Hundred Healings Technique and the Ninja Art: Creation Rebirth in a while. These two techniques are the true applications of the Yin Seal. Once you learn them, as long as you have enough chakra and your brain is still intact, you will be practically immortal."

A glint flashed in Kiyohara's eyes.

That's exactly what he was waiting for.

Rich woman Gang has amassed another fortune.

"Thank you, teacher."

"Alright, alright."

Tsunade turned and walked toward the curtain.

"Let's go, let's go and make the final handover with Sunagakure first."

"it is good."

The master and apprentice quickly headed towards the camp where Sunagakure was located.

……

The handover period passed in the blink of an eye.

The Konoha camp became extremely busy during this period.

The ninjas dismantled the tents, sorted out supplies, and destroyed classified files that were difficult to take away.

The Sand Village ninja gradually moved in and began to reinforce and modify the existing defensive fortifications, making them more suitable for performing Wind Release ninjutsu and puppet techniques.

As for the land of rivers.

This is just a small country located on the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind, bearing the image of balancing the power of the two major ninja nations.

A small country without a ninja village naturally has little say.

In the original work, the Land of Rivers was also the main battlefield where Akatsuki extracted the One-Tailed Shukaku, and several battles took place, including Team Kai's interception of Kisame and Team Kakashi's rescue of Gaara.

"That's a lot."

Kiyohara sighed.

As the deputy captain, he was responsible for handling a large number of handover files.

It wasn't until nightfall that Kiyohara finished dealing with everything.

Kiyohara stepped out of the main tent and took a deep breath of the sea air.

He hadn't gone far when a figure blocked his way.

Ye Cang stood there, arms crossed, her long orange and green hair swaying gently in the evening breeze.

The tight-fitting sleeveless top still outlined her smooth, beautiful back, making it appear very fair and tender.

"Qingyuan."

Flames burned in Ye Cang's emerald green eyes.

Kiyohara stopped in his tracks:

"Is something wrong?"

"To exchange ideas."

Ye Cang said it bluntly.

"Right now."

Kiyohara raised an eyebrow.

No, not that brave.

Did Sunagakure know that he immediately challenged him to a duel?

"You should know that I killed the Third Mizukage."

"so what?"

Ye Cang raised his chin, his eyes blazing with even stronger fighting spirit.

"I know you are very strong, but I have also improved a lot during this time. I want to know how big the gap is between us now."

Her tone carried the stubbornness and pride unique to Sunagakure ninjas.

That was the kind of determination to personally verify something even knowing it might fail.

A ninja is someone who can endure hardship.

In the traditional view of Sunagakure ninjas, a ninja is someone who can endure unreasonable situations, withstand sandstorms, and continue to fight.

Moreover, ninjas are people who can overcome adversity.

Even if blades were to fall from above, the ninja's beliefs would not change.

This is "endurance".

This is what a ninja is.

Kiyohara nodded and agreed to Yekura's request:

"Row."

Since Yekura wanted to spar, Kiyohara also wanted to find a punching bag to vent his frustrations on.

The two arrived at a relatively open area outside the camp.

Ye Cang quickly formed hand seals, extracting a large amount of chakra and synthesizing it into Scorching Release chakra. The surrounding air began to distort and heat up.

"Burning Escape - Over-Steaming Kill!"

Several orange-red fireballs condensed around her, each only the size of a head, but the intense heat they contained was palpable even from a distance.

This is Yekura's signature ninjutsu, which can instantly evaporate the water in an enemy's body, killing them without them even realizing it.

Kiyohara stood still and formed a hand seal.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique".

A massive fireball erupted from his mouth, colliding head-on with Ye Cang's Scorching Release fireball.

Boom!

The collision of flames unleashed an astonishing heatwave. Ye Cang's Scorching Release Fireball began to melt the moment it touched the Great Fireball, and was engulfed by the even larger flame.

Ye Cang's pupils contracted, and he retreated hastily.

She originally thought Kiyohara would use his Sharingan or Magnet Release, but she didn't expect him to only use the most basic Fire Release.

Moreover, the power of this fire jutsu...

"You only use Fire Release?"

Ye Cang steadied himself.

"Didn't you want to have a friendly spar?"

As Kiyohara spoke, some flames flickered between his lips and tongue.

“I’ll use Fire Release, you’ll use Scorch Release, it’s fair.”

Ye Cang gritted his teeth and formed hand seals again.

Kiyohara really enjoys looking down on people.

She, Yecang, is "Scorching Yecang"!

This time, she continued to extract more chakra from her cells, and the number of fireballs gathered around her increased from five to ten.

"Scorching Release: Flame Wheel!"

Ten fireballs arced through the air, hurtling towards Qingyuan from different directions.

They collided with each other in the air, eventually turning into dozens of trails of fire.

Kiyohara took a breath, his chest visibly bulging, and then slowly exhaled.

A massive burst of flames erupted, forming a swirling fire tornado.

The fiery tornado shattered Yekura's Scorching Release ninjutsu, turning it into pure high temperature.

The area around Kiyohara was also charred black by the high temperature.

The land turned a visible black, and the surrounding trees were burned to charcoal.

Ye Cang stood frozen in place, his hands still in the hand seal position.

His eyes reflected the calm figure of Kiyohara, and the terrain behind him that had been completely altered by the high temperature.

gap.

A huge gap.

She has indeed improved during this period; her control over the Scorching Release is more refined, and her chakra reserves have also increased.

But compared to Kiyohara, these advances seemed so insignificant.

Kiyohara wasn't even taking it seriously.

That's enough.

Kiyohara spoke, breaking the silence.

Let's stop here.

Qingyuan waved.

Yecang had quite a few shortcomings in his eyes.

Chakra reserves are the biggest limitation for Hagura.

No matter what kind of technique is developed, the size and number of the Scorching Release fireballs will be limited by Yekura's chakra.

As he spoke, Kiyohara removed the ninja headband from his forehead.
