Chapter 153 Sparring (Please Subscribe)

To ensure that the village's ninjas could have a quiet and comfortable training environment at any time, Konoha specially built training grounds in various areas of the village.

The Sand Village delegation's residence in Konoha was located in the suburbs, facing south towards the main gate and west towards the Forest of Death.

The nearest training ground is Training Ground No. 32, which is separated from the Death Forest by only a net.

but.

Although it's only separated by a net, the area is so large that almost no one would come to such a deep place to cultivate. The outer area is already enough for normal training, so who would want to come to such a dangerous place for no reason!

But at this moment, two figures are fighting here.

The two sides in the battle were a boy and a girl.

The boy had short, choppy reddish-brown hair, regular features, and a slightly delicate appearance. He wore a black ninja outfit and a Sand Village headband on his forehead.

The girl had short, silver-white hair, a beautiful face, and a tall figure. She wore a ninja bodysuit with a gray vest over it, and also had a Sand Village headband tied around her forehead.

They are Ryuji Ayaki and Gin.

In order to adapt to their new bodies as quickly as possible and improve their strength to the original level, they would practice at the training ground closest to their residence every day.

They usually practice individually.

Yin had used it before and had a lot of experience, so when she practiced again, her speed was incredibly fast.

And Ryuji goes without saying.

He had already thoroughly studied the thousands of ninjutsu techniques in his mind, and with Kakashi-level ninjutsu learning talent, he could basically use any ninjutsu below A-rank after just recalling its usage.

It was more of a review than a study session.

As for forbidden ninjutsu of rank A and above...

Long Er has gained a lot of experience points from signing in over the past six months, but they haven't been used yet. Now they're finally coming in handy.

Although experience points cannot help him directly learn ninjutsu, as long as he can grasp the basics, even if it is a clumsy level that cannot be used, he can still level up by gaining experience points.

Although he couldn't max out all the S-rank ninjutsu in his mind due to insufficient experience points, mastering one or two would be enough for the time being.

A week has passed, and he has mastered over a thousand ninjutsu techniques, successfully upgrading two S-rank ninjutsu to the maximum level. Now that he has both standard ninjutsu and killing moves, he has begun practical combat training.

Mastering thousands of ninjutsu techniques doesn't necessarily mean you can use them all in battle.

Only through frequent practice and familiarity with the function and nature of each ninjutsu can one use the most appropriate ninjutsu at the most suitable time.

Only in this way can one be considered a ninja expert.

Silver also needed practical training to regain his former strength, which led to this scene.

……

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

Silver's movements are nimble and efficient, without any hesitation. Every punch and kick is simple and skillful, yet they all embody the beauty of human biomechanics.

Through the precise manipulation of chakra, even a seemingly simple punch can cause immense destruction, making people afraid to approach.

But Ryuji not only got close, but also countered his moves.

Ryuji naturally wouldn't use superhuman strength.

While the new body's chakra control is strong, it is not yet perfect.

If a comparison must be made, then the old body was Naruto's trash-level body, while the new body is like Sasuke's—talented, but not the best type.

The chakra control talent required for superhuman strength is at the level of Sakura.

Although it's not impossible to reach that level through training, it's too low a cost-benefit ratio for Long Er.

He spends so much time practicing superhuman strength that he could make a superhuman strength glove.

Even without the corresponding power, he still fought Silver to a standstill in close combat, holding his own without being at a disadvantage.

No, they even gained the upper hand.

No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't hit anyone.

Forces are reciprocal; the stronger the force used, the greater the inertia and the longer the interval between attacks. Forcibly withdrawing force will only cause injury to the body.

Although some martial arts masters have created techniques that utilize inertia to increase attack range and even power, they cannot completely compensate for the gap with ordinary attacks.

If it were an ordinary enemy, that would be one thing.

However, against Ryuji, whose physical skills are maxed out, this difference means she's destined to be unable to hit anyone.

Ryuji never confronted Gin head-on. Whenever she attacked, he would either dodge or bypass her frontal attack and counterattack from the side.

The techniques of receiving, neutralizing, and releasing were brought to their extreme, causing Yin's monstrous strength to strike the cotton candy, making her so uncomfortable that she vomited blood.

Ryuji gently grabbed Gin's wrist as she struck him, pulling it towards him with her force, while simultaneously stepping aside as she was pulled away.

Gin, propelled forward by the force and the inertia of the pull, passed by Ryuji and delivered a powerful punch to the ground.

"boom!"

The force of the punch shattered even the mighty Dali.

But it had no effect on Ryuji later on.

In fact, if it weren't for the need to familiarize himself with his newly acquired body and skills and experience more combat, he could have ended this battle long ago, having already entered Silver's blind spot.

"Gin, I'm going to use ninjutsu."

After giving a reminder, Ryuji quickly formed hand seals.

[Fire Release: Great Flame Technique!]

Blazing flames spewed from its mouth, and supported by a massive amount of chakra, this C-rank fire-style ninjutsu unleashed tremendous power.

A thin stream of fire shot out from its mouth and quickly spread, instantly covering an area with a diameter of about 10 meters in front of it.

Furthermore, the Great Flame Technique is different from the Great Fireball Technique.

The Fireball is a ranged attack that fires a fireball; once the fireball is fired, it becomes irrelevant to the caster.

The Great Flame Technique, on the other hand, relies on the user to provide a continuous output of chakra. Its power can be adjusted by increasing or decreasing chakra, and the direction of the attack can also be shifted by the user's control.

If there's anything that's inferior to the Great Fireball Jutsu, it's that the ninjutsu has a longer range and consumes more chakra.

After all, one is something that is constantly spoken, while the other is something that is used up and then discarded.

It's like the difference between free-to-play games and buy-to-play games. Free-to-play games don't cost money to play, but you still have to spend money on in-game purchases later.

With a buy-out game, you only need to pay to play, and you can play it forever without spending another penny.

However, this weakness is compensated for by the caster's large amount of chakra.

Short range?

Then increase the amount of chakra to expand the range of ninjutsu.

High chakra consumption?

I have plenty of chakra, so I'm not afraid of it being depleted.

Faced with such a wide-ranging ninjutsu, Gin could only use ninjutsu to defend against it.

[Earth Escape·Earth Formation Wall! 】

After the seal was completed, Yin pressed his hands on the ground, and a thick rock wall rose up from the ground.

The flames were blocked by the wall, so they had to go around to the sides.

However, although she blocked the flames, the terrifying heat that made her sweat profusely in an instant still terrified Yin.

It's clearly just a C-rank ninjutsu, yet it's so powerful. If I had just hardened my body with the earth spear, and charged at my master while bearing the ninjutsu, I would have been terrified.

My body would probably crack from the heat halfway through the race!

Silver, who deliberately gave up the best option to save face for his master, unexpectedly preserved the suspense of victory.

but……

"You were careless!"

The sound came from below.

Then came a right hand that reached out from underground and grabbed her ankle.

[Earth Release: Heart-Slaying Decapitation Technique!]

Feeling the power coming from his hand, Yin's lips curled into a smile. "It was you who was careless, Master."

As she spoke, she shoved her foot hard, pulling Long Er out of the ground.

boom!

The person who was pulled out turned into smoke and disappeared, and a kunai was placed against her neck from behind.

Silver's body stiffened slightly, then he let out a long sigh and forced a smile.

"I lost."

"It's boring."

Ryuji put away his kunai and walked back with a bored expression, saying as he went, "Whether it's you or Kurenai, you always hold back in battle."

"I didn't hold back in this battle..." Silver said, who had caught up. "Master will win entirely because you're too strong."

"Come on."

Long Er pouted, not believing it at all.

Although he has indeed improved very quickly, surpassing his previous self who only wore an exoskeleton, he is by no means strong enough to defeat Silver so easily.

Even though Yin hasn't recovered his previous fighting strength.

I had insomnia all night and just woke up to update a chapter.

Actually, I wrote a chapter before going to bed yesterday, but after reading it, I felt it wasn't good enough, so I deleted it and rewrote it.
