Chapter 119 The Underdog Overthrows the Superior! (Third Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets)

"Pay attention to your breathing rate, completely empty your mind, your whole body is falling..."

Nara Rinka is currently teaching Yakushi Kabuto the D-rank technique he obtained at the Fire Temple: the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique].

This is a beginner-level breathing technique used at the Fire Temple.

The value of the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] can be either very high or very low.

On a grander scale, the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] is a prerequisite for the "Immortal Mode," allowing cultivators to perceive the omnipresent natural energy in the natural world.

To put it simply, the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] is actually just a special breathing technique. There's nothing particularly profound about it, and even a low-level ninja can learn it without any problems.

However, for ordinary people, it may take them more than ten or even several decades to barely master this secret technique.

After obtaining the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique], Nara Rangsuke spent nearly half a year cultivating before he was able to clearly perceive the existence of natural energy.

This is the result of his continuous, 24/7 online training.

For ordinary people, mastering the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] is a hurdle.

Maintaining the breathing frequency of the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] at regular intervals is another hurdle.

However, to fully integrate the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] into daily life and maintain it throughout daily activities such as sitting, standing, walking, and lying down is yet another hurdle.

Nara Rinkaku quietly watched Yakushi Kabuto's training process.

He didn't know how long it would take the ninja monks of the Fire Temple to successfully master the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique].

But if possible.

Nara Rinka hopes that Yakushi Kabuto can learn this breathing meditation method as soon as possible.

After all, the faster Kabuto grows, the sooner he can get a qualified tool.

As for Kabuto's age...

There are also some precocious geniuses in the ninja world who "possessed the mindset of a Hokage at the age of seven".

Age is not a problem for ninjas.

After a while.

Kabuto slowly opened his eyes, a faint look of confusion flashing in them, as if he had just woken up.

"Kabuto, what's it like practicing the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique]?"

"Feel?"

Kabuto lowered his head in shame.

"I think I just fell asleep... I'm sorry, Nara-nii."

"It's okay, I just noticed that your breathing rate hasn't fluctuated much."

Nara Rinka raised her hand and patted Yakushi Kabuto's head.

"While maintaining my breathing rate, I entered a deep sleep—well, meditation."

"This perfectly aligns with the cultivation philosophy of the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique]."

"Is that so?"

Yakushi Kabuto wasn't sure if Nara Rinkachi was comforting himself or lying to a child.

"Of course it's true."

Nara Rinka smiled with narrowed eyes, saying that Yakushi Kabuto's talent in cultivating the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] far exceeded his expectations.

"That's how I practiced back then."

"However, Kabuto, don't tell anyone about this [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] except for Nono-nee."

"Ninjas need to be careful to keep secrets at all times."

"I see!"

The pharmacist adjusted his glasses and said solemnly.

"I will definitely keep Nara-nii's secret!"

"It's your own secret of spiritual practice."

Nara took Gui and corrected his path.

"Also, Kabuto, don't think that just because you can cultivate the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] through deep meditation, you can ignore it at other times."

"The best way to cultivate is to completely integrate the breathing frequency of the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] into your own life rhythm and maintain it at all times."

"I will be closely monitoring your training over the next few days!"

Young Kabuto was completely unaware of Nara Rinkasa's true intentions; he simply smiled innocently.

"Thank you, Nara-nii!"

"pocket."

Nara Rinkazu patted Yakushi Kabuto's head again.

"You will definitely become an excellent ninja in the future."

into the night.

The Kikyo Orphanage was completely silent.

Nara Rinka released the anger that had been building up over this period of time, and fell into a kind of sage-like state that could only be understood but not explained.

"Lan Gui, you're so hot-tempered."

Yakushi Nono lay on her side, the person beside her like the moon, her fair wrists like frost and snow.

"But won't there be any problems with you teaching your secret techniques to Kabuto?"

"You said it's your own secret technique, so what's the problem?"

Nara Rinka squinted, turned over, and tried to plunge himself into deeper darkness.

"I know your concerns, Nono-nee, and I will not hand over the family's secret technique, the Shadow Technique, to Kabuto."

"What I taught him were all ninjutsu techniques that I had acquired through other means."

"Actually, I originally planned to teach Kabuto a water-style ninjutsu, 'Water Cutter,' but I didn't expect him to say that he wanted to become a ninja like me."

"It's best not to become a ninja like you." Yakushi Nonou's voice was somewhat broken and unsteady.

"because……"

Nara Lan Gui chuckled wickedly.

"All I know is how to subvert superiors?"

...A night spent resting at the Kikyo Orphanage...

The next morning.

Feeling refreshed and invigorated, Nara Rinka, after engaging in morning practice with Yakushi Nonou, quietly left the Kikyo Orphanage.

Arriving at a secluded villa in Kikyo City.

Nara Rinka came to check on the condition of the female captives from Sunagakure who had been left to roam freely for some time.

Before leaving the village to carry out the mission.

Nara Rangsuke specifically entrusted the clan chief to send someone to take care of Yokura.

This was also to prevent any problems from arising with this female prisoner from Sunagakure who was under immense mental stress.

Looking back now...

Yekura's physical condition was good, but her mental state was not good. Her originally bright and spirited orange eyes seemed to be covered with a thick layer of gray.

Upon seeing the arrival of Nara Rinka.

Ye Cangteng jumped up from his seat and rushed to Nara Rinka in a few quick steps.

She has been detained in this villa for some time now.

In addition to restrictions on their daily activities, they are not allowed to use chakra or contact the outside world.

Yekura was no longer subject to suppression from other aspects.

If she were to say that she is currently "in jail".

Then there shouldn't be such a luxurious "prison" in the entire ninja world.

however……

Although her material benefits were not reduced, Yekura was under tremendous mental pressure.

Yekura knew perfectly well that Nara Rinka's disappearance was due to a mission outside the village.

However, she was unaware of the details of Nara's mission to capture the cassia tree.

just in case……

What if the Nara laurel wrestling team goes to Sunagakure instead...?

What if, just as they said that day, Nara Rinka uses her Scorching Release to deal with the Sunagakure ninja...

Yekura couldn't even imagine the immense mental pressure she would be under.

"You're back!"

Like an orange cat, Yekura circled around Nara Rinkazu, not hindering his movements, but simply walking around him.

"Is this mission over?"

Nara Rinka did not immediately respond to Yekura's question. He simply walked into the living room and half-reclined, half-sat on the soft sofa.

Yekura immediately sat down next to Nara Rinka, leaning closer and staring intently at the latter's profile.

Nara Rinka made no hand seals, but one after another, shadow clones emerged from the shadows beneath him and scattered throughout the villa, continuing their previous research project.

"You just asked a stupid question. Ask something you really want to ask."

"Where did you go?"

Yekura asked impatiently, her breath hot from her cherry-like mouth almost reaching Nara Ranka's ears.

"Iwagakure? Kumogakure? Or...Sunagakure?"

"In this mission, I wiped out a small ninja unit."

Nara Rinka turned her head, extended her right hand, and lifted Yokura's chin.

"The ninja squad you definitely know."

Nara Rinka clearly observed that Yoko's pupils suddenly contracted slightly before dilating again.

He added, with a mischievous grin.

"The demolition squad of Iwagakure."

These words, once inside Yecang's ears, acted like a switch, instantly activating her.

"You—"

"Miss Yekura."

Nara Rinkazu's right hand exerted a little force, squeezing Yekura's small mouth into a pouty shape, and at the same time silencing her words.

"I think you should be very clear about your situation."

"After successfully researching the [Burning Release Chakra Creation Method], your actual value to me has approached zero."

"Moreover, during this mission, I also unexpectedly captured a new bloodline limit user."

"Your [Burning Release] isn't the only one for me."

The anger that had just welled up in Yekura's heart vanished completely as Nara Ranke recounted the story word by word.

A familiar sense of powerlessness washed over him, and Yekura became docile once again.

"So, what exactly do you want to do, Nara-kun?"

Nara Rinka's hand slid down Yokura's chin and gently gripped her neck.

"Don't you understand?"

Nara Rinkazu's hand tightened slightly, and a delicate blush spread from his palm outwards, covering every inch of Yekura's fair neck.

"If ninjas have no value, then they have no reason to live."

Yekura felt her breathing becoming increasingly rapid, but she still gazed intently at Nara Rinkazu, waiting for his next words.

"You need to increase your value, Ms. Yekura, your value to me."

Nara loosened his grip on Katsura's hand, ceasing his teasing of Yokura, and said somewhat boredly.

"Think carefully, what else about you can interest me?"

"If not..."

"What if I had it?"

Ye Cang completely ignored the faint blue marks on her fair and delicate neck.

She reached out and grasped Nara Rinka's hand in return, her fingertips gently swirling in his palm.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Yekura."

Nara Rinka gave Yekura a strange look, but did not withdraw her hand.

He truly hadn't expected the other party to take the initiative to make such a gesture of burning gas.

As expected, it's Pakura with the Scorch Release technique...

"Let's do it another day."

Updates are getting later and later...

I feel like I can't adjust my sleep schedule anymore.

One more update will be released after midnight.
