Naruto: I have an attribute panel

Chapter 452 New Immortal Techniques

In the empty living room, only Fugaku Uchiha remained. The meeting had gone much more smoothly than Fugaku had imagined.

The Second Elder and the Third Elder wisely refrained from raising too many objections, and their proposal received the support of all the elders.

This is truly all thanks to Lord Taiyi; indeed, strength is the best passport in the ninja world.

The Ninja Academy will be recruiting again soon. This time, all eligible children in the clan will be sent to the Ninja Academy to study, and no more children will be left to be trained separately in the clan. This is also a goodwill signal to the village.

Just as Fugaku was deep in thought, a figure rushed past the doorway.

Fugaku recognized him at a glance—his eldest son, Uchiha Itachi.

"Itachi, why are you so clumsy? Have you forgotten all the rules I taught you?"

Fugaku's reprimand immediately calmed Itachi down from his excitement, causing him to stop abruptly in his tracks.

Itachi turned around and looked at his father sitting in the living room. He had been so happy that he hadn't even noticed that there was someone in the living room.

That's really... shouldn't be happening.

Seeing that his son had regained his composure, Fugaku picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and then calmly asked, "Speak, what is it that you're in such a hurry?"

"Father, I have finally completed the practice task assigned by the teacher. I would like to ask the teacher for advice on the next steps in my studies."

"6

Itachi's little face lit up with excitement again, clearly his father's authority could not suppress his excitement.

"Oh!" Fugaku nodded in realization, but then he realized what Itachi was talking about.

He quickly put down his teacup and asked solemnly, "Is it that—cultivation of immortal arts?"

"Yes, Father." Itachi smiled and nodded happily.

"Haha, good, good, as expected of my son, he is so talented in this area." Old Master Fugaku was overjoyed. If it weren't for maintaining his fatherly dignity, he would have burst into laughter long ago.

"Alright, go find your teacher now. He should be happy about your progress too."

"Then I'll be going now, Father."

After saying that, Itachi took two steps back, turned around and slowly walked away. Once he was out of his father's sight, he immediately sped up and rushed to Tai's house.

"Heh, this kid—" Fugaku chuckled, but Itachi's little movements could not escape his perception.

However—Sage Mode, that's a power that even Orochimaru hasn't mastered. Indeed, having Itachi become Taichi's apprentice was the best decision he ever made.

Too much family.

When Itachi arrived happily, he found that Eta and Yami were also there.

In a flash, he realized that they, like him, had also achieved the ability to perceive natural energy at any time today.

Sure enough, when the two saw Itachi, without Itachi even having to ask, Eta couldn't resist and stepped forward, hugging Itachi's neck and telling him everything.

"Itachi, I knew you'd come today. The three of us completed the task assigned by the teacher on the same day again."

Itachi looked helpless as he was being hugged, feeling the strength on his neck. Anyone who didn't know better would think that Jiang Tai had a grudge against him.

Yami noticed Itachi's discomfort and slapped Eta on the head, scolding him without any politeness, "You idiot, how many times have I told you, can't you control your strength?"

"Ah~ Ah~ I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I got so excited I forgot."

Jiang Tai awkwardly scratched the back of his head. It's no wonder he felt this way; ever since he could sense natural energy, his strength had been steadily increasing.

This matter also attracted Taiyi's attention. After a series of examinations, all that could be said was that Jiang Tai had a special constitution. After he was able to sense natural energy, the natural energy was also actively permeating his body, resulting in Jiang Tai's physical fitness becoming stronger and stronger.

"It's nothing." Itachi twisted his neck and stretched his muscles. This kind of discomfort after a sudden increase in power was common for the Uchiha clan. He glanced around. "Hasn't Master arrived yet?"

"What, you miss me so much after such a short time?"

Taiyi's voice came from afar, and the three little ones turned their heads in surprise, only to see Taiyi's figure emerge from the corridor.

Yamei was the most excited. She ran over as fast as she could, shouting the good news, "Teacher, we succeeded! We can now feel the natural energy at any time!"

"Oh!" Taiyi smiled. "Is it the latest milky-white natural energy?"

Taiyi pressed on, explaining that since his breakthrough in meditation and the discovery of deeper secrets of natural energy, he had used the newly discovered milky-white natural energy as a foundation to renew the energy seeds within the three individuals.

As expected, with their foundation and the guidance of the Taiyi energy seed, the three quickly sensed this purer natural energy.

"Of course! Teacher, please hurry up and teach us the next step. I can't wait!"

Jiang Tai took a few steps to Taiyi, stuck out her buttocks, pushed aside Yamei, and started shaking Taiyi's hand.

A satisfied smile flashed across Taiyi's lips, but he immediately straightened his face, pulled his hand away from Jiang Tai's grasp, and flicked it on the forehead.

"What are you swaying about? Do you think you're a child? Stand still, all of you, and do this for me to check."

"Ouch, ouch!" Jiang Tai clutched her head, backing away as she complained, "If you're going to do an examination, why did you have to hit my head?"

He didn't make any move as he spoke, but from Taiyi's perspective, the natural energy around Jiang Tai was flowing abnormally.

This can also be described as an observer effect. Ordinary people cannot perceive natural energy, and natural energy does not react to ordinary people, just like it does to all things in the world.

However, once people observe natural energy, even if you don't actively interfere with it, it will be unconsciously disturbed by you and exhibit abnormal flow.

Taiichi's smile did not disappear. He turned to look at Yami and Itachi and found that the natural energy around them was also disturbed.

Now, we can finally confirm the results of their cultivation.

"Very good. The fact that you completed the sensory training in such a short time shows you've put in a lot of effort. However—"

Taiyi looked at the three of them, his voice growing softer, "You all sensed chakra almost simultaneously, and now you've completed your sensory training at roughly the same time. What's going on here—"

As Taiyi spoke, he fell into his own thoughts: Could it be that training with multiple people has a synergistic effect?

"Teacher!" Jiang Tai didn't care about anything else. Seeing that Taiyi had already started to daydream, he immediately grinned slyly and shouted.

Taiyi's hazy eyes instantly locked onto Jiang Tai, and the oppressive feeling generated by his guarding made the little brat Jiang Tai stiffen up as if he had a stress reaction.

Sure enough, what a brat! If you don't discipline him for three days, he'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles. He even dares to interrupt the teacher's thinking; he's simply lawless!

A Vajra chain shot up from behind Taiyi and, with a twist in mid-air, wrapped around Jiang Tai.

Before Jiang Tai could even react, he was tightly bound and lifted into the air by the Vajra Chains.

Jiang Tai then snapped out of his daze and immediately began flailing his arms and screeching in the air.

"Teacher, I know I was wrong, please put me down."

The Adamantine Lock is no ordinary chain; it's a sealing chain that can imprison chakra. Once a ninja's chakra is sealed, the feeling of powerlessness and tingling is unbearable.

Taiyi ignored Jiang Tai's struggles and twisted the chain again to gag him, silencing the noise.

"Alright, forget about him. Now that you've completed your sensory training, let's move on to the next step of your learning."

Itachi and Masami, who had originally wanted to plead for Tai, immediately shut their mouths, straightened their expressions, and stared at Tai, afraid of missing a single word he said.

As for Jiang Tai, who is still in the air, let him suffer there a little longer. After all, wrongdoing should be punished.

When Jiang Tai saw that Taiyi had started lecturing like this, he became anxious. He struggled to break free but could not, so he immediately gave up. His limbs went limp and he was supported only by the Vajra Chains. He swayed in mid-air and listened to the lecture.

Seeing this, Taiyi appropriately relaxed the sealing effect of the Vajra Chains so that Jiang Tai would not feel so uncomfortable and could listen to the lecture in peace.

In the end, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

As the sun sets, the shadows of one adult and three children in the courtyard grow longer and longer.

"—So, this method of absorbing and combining natural energy with chakra, although it is slower to cultivate, can guarantee that there will be no phenomenon of natural energy erosion. It can be considered a safe cultivation method that I have summarized."

Yami and Itachi stared intently with their bright, watery eyes, listening to Taiichi's teachings without blinking. In the air, Eta's limbs were limp, and he could only listen to the lesson with his ears perked up.

"Alright." Taiyi waved his hand, and the Vajra Chains put Jiang Tai down, then shrank back behind him and dissipated into specks of golden light.

Taiyi glared fiercely at Jiang Tai, making Jiang Tai beg for mercy repeatedly before finally letting it go.

He glanced at the sky and then said, "You can practice here for the rest of the time. I will be watching you. Remember, you must absorb natural energy slowly and steadily. Otherwise, although you won't be eroded, you will still suffer a lot."

"Yes." *3

Under the setting sun, the three little ones sat cross-legged in the courtyard, trying for the first time to absorb natural energy on their own.

At first, all three of them were very cautious, taking it one step at a time and trying their best to control their absorption rate.

When natural energy enters the body for the first time, it combines with one's own chakra for the first time.

As the first wisp of Sage Chakra was born, that powerful force unconsciously lingered in the hearts of the three.

And so, things spiraled out of control.

This combination seemed to have a powerful attraction, and the natural energy, as if it had gained its own consciousness, began to actively drill into the three people's bodies.

At first, the three of them could barely control it, but as the amount of Sage Chakra in their bodies increased, their control became weaker and weaker.

What followed was complete loss of control.

The surging natural energy rushed into the three people's bodies, as if it wanted to burst them apart.

The three children gradually showed signs of pain, but they were still trying their best to control themselves.

Finally, the first sign of loss of control occurred. Yamei's spirit could no longer suppress the surging natural energy, which "burst" Yamei's body in just a few seconds.

"Pfft—"

'

Almost all of Yami's chakra was enveloped by natural energy, gushing out like a deflated balloon, and Yami's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.

This is the inevitable result of excessive chakra depletion and physical weakness.

Following Yami's example, Itachi quickly followed in her footsteps, collapsing limply with a clear "plop".

Jiang Tai, perhaps due to his special constitution, lasted the longest, a full five minutes before finally losing control of his natural energy and collapsing to the ground.

"Haha, how was it? How did it feel?"

Taiyi looked at the three little ones on the ground, who could barely move a finger, and unusually, he showed a gloating expression.

It wasn't that Taiyi was intentionally trying to make a fool of them; it was just that if they weren't allowed to experience certain dangers firsthand, they wouldn't take them seriously.

Besides, this is just exhaustion, not turning into stone or a puddle of water, and he himself is there to look after her, so her safety is guaranteed.

After waiting for about half an hour, Jiang Tai, who was the last one to collapse, was the first to get up.

Taiyi was amazed, thinking to himself that this guy might be the one who mastered the Sage Mode the best.

Ten more minutes passed before Itachi and Yami finally got up.

The three sat on the ground, panting heavily, their faces pale, looking as if they were recovering from a serious illness.

Taiyi nodded secretly before issuing a warning.

"You've all felt it too. This is the danger of uncontrolled natural energy. And this is after my improvements. If you were cultivating the immortal techniques of the three holy lands, it wouldn't be as simple as just being exhausted."

At this moment, the three of them truly understood the dangers of cultivating immortal arts. Having only heard about them before, and with their previous cultivation progressing smoothly, they had gradually become arrogant.

But now that they've officially started, reality has given them a resounding slap in the face, a slap so loud it will stay with them for a lifetime.

Taiyi was prepared, and at this moment he took out three specially made soldier ration pills from his pocket and handed them over.

"Here you go, one for each of you. These are special military rations made by the teacher. You can't buy them outside. Others would beg for one if they could."

The three of them each took one, and the weakened trio did not notice the fleeting smile on Taiyi's lips.

"Just a reminder, it's best to swallow this medicine whole; don't chew it."

Itachi took the soldier's ration pill, held it to his nose and sniffed it. A fresh, herbal scent wafted into his nostrils. It had a medicinal smell, but it wasn't unpleasant.

Hearing the teacher's reminder, he looked at the soldier's ration pill in his hand with a puzzled expression. Although it was not big, it seemed quite difficult to swallow it in one gulp.

Meanwhile, Jiang Tai and Ya Mei were already preparing to eat. The weasel stopped examining it and simply tossed the soldier's ration into its mouth. If it got hard to swallow, it could just chew it up; it probably wouldn't be a problem.

A bitter taste shot from my mouth straight to the top of my head, then back down from the top of my head, gushing out from my nasal cavity.

This taste—it was truly—the most bitter thing he had ever eaten in his life.

My body involuntarily reacted by vomiting, wanting to spit out the bitter taste in my mouth.

"Slap, slap, slap."

Three crisp slaps rang out. Before anyone knew it, Taiyi had appeared behind the three little ones, slapping each of them on the back and forcing the ration pills they were about to spit out back in.

The three of them looked like unlucky guys who were about to choke to death, struggling to swallow the bitterness in their mouths. Jiang Tai kept spitting out the bitterness as if he wanted to spit it out.

"Teacher, what is this? I've never eaten anything this awful." Yamei couldn't help but complain, sticking out her tongue as she spoke. The bitterness made her feel like her tongue wasn't even her own.

"You three ignorant fools! My specially made soldier's rations are incredibly precious. Don't you feel your strength now?"

Taiyi spoke with righteous indignation and without blushing.

His special soldier pills were indeed effective, but why didn't they become standard supplies for Konoha ninjas? It wasn't that he didn't share the recipe, but rather that the pills were simply unpalatable. The ninjas would rather eat a few more soldier pills than eat Taichi's special product.

However, Taiyi's special soldier pills were indeed very effective. Just a minute ago, the three of them were limp and weak, but now they were able to talk back.

"Teacher, your soldier rations are really—" Itachi tried to organize his thoughts, but couldn't think of a word to use, so he could only give a thumbs up to express his admiration.
