Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

Chapter 113 The Power of the Tenseigan (15% of the original's power)

Now, that timeframe has been significantly shortened.

After thinking about it again, Qiu Shui didn't find it too surprising.

The Byakugan is an innate bloodline limit, unlike the Sharingan which requires strong emotional stimulation to awaken.

Its awakening and use depend more on the user's mental state and chakra control.

Hinata's ability to withstand pressure is far inferior to that of Sasuke, the legendary king of stress resistance.

Sasuke can at least relieve stress by fighting his classmates in real battles.

Hinata has nowhere to let go.

Today she experienced a tremendous transformation from fear to courage, from retreat to counterattack. That psychological breakthrough may be the key she has always lacked.

"Shusui-sensei, I'll head home now," Hinata said softly, stopping in her tracks.

She wanted to go home quickly and tell her father about the change in her eyes.

"Okay," Qiu Shui replied gently, watching her turn and leave.

Hinata's figure gradually disappeared into the distance.

Two messages popped up in front of Qiu Shui.

[Hidden Quest: Hinata Hyuga's Confidence (Exceeded)]

[Gain Reincarnation Eye (5%) as a reward]

Before I could even take a closer look, a sharp pain suddenly exploded from deep within my eyeball.

Qiu Shui subconsciously closed her eyes, her hands clenching involuntarily.

The pain came on so fast and so intensely that there was no time to prepare mentally.

Immediately afterwards, his visual system seemed to completely collapse.

Even with my eyes closed, I could see countless images flashing, overlapping, tearing apart, and rearranging wildly in front of me.

This state lasted only a few seconds, but it felt to Qiu Shui as if a very long time had passed.

The pain gradually subsided, and my vision returned to normal.

Qiu Shui slowly opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and then walked straight towards the Death Forest, preparing to test the abilities he could unleash with the 15% Tenseigan he had acquired during this period.

On the way to the Forest of Death, Qiushui activated the Reincarnation Eye.

Although it's unlikely that anyone is following him, it's always good to be cautious.

The moment the Tenseigan was activated, Shusui clearly sensed that his clairvoyance range had increased dramatically from five kilometers to thirty kilometers, and his chakra was also slowly decreasing.

The Death Forest covers an area of ​​about 20 kilometers and has a complex internal terrain. The primeval forest blocks out the sun, swamps hide under dead leaves, rivers and waterfalls cut through the area, and the underground cave system is bottomless.

The forest is home to giant beasts, poisonous insects, and man-eating plants, some of which were deliberately placed there by generations of Konoha ninja to increase the difficulty of the Chunin Exams.

This forest is designated as a forbidden area and is only open as a testing ground during the Chunin Exams.

When Shusui participated in the Chunin Exams, he also spent a week in this forest.

This place is indeed extremely unfriendly to ordinary Chunin and Genin.

Not only do they have to face the frantic snatching of the scrolls from other test takers, but they also have to deal with the endless unknown threats lurking in the forest.

Back then, he didn't have the strength he has now, and he took every step very carefully.

At this moment, under the vision of the Tenseigan, Shusui traversed the Forest of Death, seeing countless traps left over from previous Chunin Exams that had never been triggered.

Some were simple tripwires and pitfall traps, some were sophisticated repeating crossbows, some were explosive tags buried underground, and some were complex devices whose triggering principles he couldn't even understand.

These traps are covered with weeds and moss, and over the years, some have rusted and become ineffective, but most are still in a state where they can be triggered at any time.

Qiu Shui secretly rejoiced that she had awakened the Reincarnation Eye.

Otherwise, just navigating through this forest would be enough to give him a headache with all those densely packed traps.

If you're unlucky enough to encounter a trap where poison is smeared on hidden weapons, you could really be caught off guard and lose your life.

During their journey, Qiu Shui also encountered several large tigers and a black bear with a body as big as a small mountain.

When those beasts pounced out of the bushes, their eyes gleamed with a hungry green light, clearly regarding him as a dinner that had come to them.

Shusui did not use ninjutsu.

Although the Forest of Death is remote, it is not too far from the village. If the ninjutsu causes too much noise and attracts the attention of the Anbu or patrolling ninjas, it will be very troublesome to explain.

He took out a kunai, held it in his hand, and went to meet the attacker.

He is very fast.

They passed away peacefully.

Before the tiger and the black bear could even make a second attack, Qiu Shui's kunai struck their vital points with pinpoint accuracy, causing them to crash to the ground with a dull thud. They then lay quietly in the pile of fallen leaves and fell fast asleep.

Qiu Shui found a wide clearing in the forest.

It is surrounded by tall trees and the ground is relatively flat.

He activated his Reincarnation Eye again, expanding his perception range to its limit, and carefully scanned the area within a radius of several kilometers.

After confirming that there was no human presence, Qiushui began testing the various abilities of the Tenseigan.

First, there's the manipulation of gravity and repulsion.

Qiu Shui reached out and aimed at a rock about half a person's height not far away, trying to pull it over using gravity. The rock moved slightly, swayed a little, and then nothing happened.

He then tried to use repulsive force to push away the dead leaves on the ground. The dead leaves were indeed blown away, but the area was only about three meters in front of him.

After several tests, Qiu Shui came to a conclusion.

His gravitational and repulsive forces can only be manipulated within a three-meter radius.

Beyond three meters, it has no effect at all.

Moreover, after using it once, you need to wait a full ten seconds before you can use it again.

Qiu Shui was not greatly surprised.

On the moon, Toneri Otsutsuki is a pureblood, with his Otsutsuki bloodline and physique reaching over 90%, while Shusui's current Otsutsuki bloodline concentration is only 10%, and his Tenseigan proportion is only 15%.

Given the gap in performance, achieving this level of results is already a pleasant surprise.

Next is the ability to absorb and release ninjutsu.

Shusui created a shadow clone, which stood ten meters away, and used the Great Fireball Technique on him.

A huge fireball roared towards us, the heat was scorching.

Qiu Shui raised her hand, attempting to absorb the entire fireball.

It can absorb about 15% of ninjutsu energy and convert it into energy that it can use and store, or reflect it back.

The remaining 85% still requires other means of defense: either dodge, withstand the attack with your body, or use other ninjutsu to counteract it.

Although it couldn't quite achieve the effect of Nagato absorbing all ninjutsu and turning it into nothingness, Shusui was still quite satisfied.

As for the Tenseigan's chakra modes, spatial manipulation and transfer, life creation and destruction, and signature techniques like the Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion and the Silver Wheel Reincarnation Explosion, after trying them once, Qiushui confirmed that he couldn't use them at all before.

Qiu Shui roughly estimated that at least 30% or 50% of the bloodline of the Otsutsuki and the Tenseigan would be required to unlock these abilities.

There was a discovery that brightened Qiu Shui's eyes and could even be described as an unexpected delight.

He discovered that his ordinary chakra would undergo a subtle qualitative change when the Tenseigan was activated, transforming into a chakra with a faint Truth-Seeking Ball quality.

This amount of chakra is far from enough to condense into a true Truth-Seeking Ball, but it makes his chakra extremely penetrating, while also possessing a slight gravitational or repulsive characteristic.

Most importantly, this transformation effect can be directly applied to all of his ninjutsu.

In other words, any ninjutsu he uses, regardless of its attribute or level, will automatically be imbued with this special chakra characteristic, increasing the power of the ninjutsu by about five percent.

At the same time, the trajectory, speed, and trajectory of ninjutsu will be subtly altered by the accompanying repulsive or attractive force.

Five percent.

That doesn't sound like much.

However, if two people have similar levels of ninjutsu proficiency, nature transformation training, and form transformation mastery, then Shusui can gain a slight but decisive advantage under the enhancement of this effect.

When masters clash, victory or defeat often hinges on a single, narrow margin.

Qiu Shui was satisfied with the removal of the Reincarnation Eye. He stood in the open space for a while, and after confirming that no obvious traces had been left, he turned and walked out of the Death Forest.

On Saturday morning at four o'clock, in a dilapidated wooden house outside the sixth ring road of Konoha Village, the night had not yet faded, and the sky outside the window was a thick, dark blue.

Xiao Li woke up on time, without lingering or hesitating, like a wound-up machine, precise and decisive.

After a quick wash, he sat down at the table, took out his books from his bag, and began to read under the dim light.

Time slipped away second by second amidst the sound of him turning the pages.

Between five and six o'clock, Xiao Li went out for a run.

The streets were empty and quiet in the early morning, with only his own footsteps and breathing echoing rhythmically.

Between six and seven o'clock, he returned to the open space in front of the small wooden house and began to do strength training.

Push-ups, sit-ups, squat jumps... every movement was performed meticulously, sweat dripping down his cheeks and making small round pits in the muddy ground beneath his feet.

Between 7:00 and 7:30, Xiao Li bought two rice balls and a cup of hot tea from a roadside breakfast stall, ate them while sitting on the steps, and then went back to his room to take a shower and change into clean clothes.

At 8:10, Xiao Li arrived at the classroom of Class 1, Grade 5 on time.

Since the final exams didn't start until 9 o'clock today, the classroom was deserted, with not a single person in sight.

Youth should not be wasted.

Xiao Li went to the back corner of the classroom, which was his private space.

Place your hands on the ground and begin doing push-ups.

One, two, three... His movements were precise and powerful; each time he slumped down, his chest almost touched the ground, and each time he pushed himself up, it was crisp and clean.

As time went by, students gradually arrived in the classroom.

They carried their schoolbags and walked into the classroom in twos and threes. Some were chatting, some were flipping through books, and some were catching up on sleep at their desks.
