Chapter 277 The Second Original Bloodline Limit: Flame Release!

Nara Rinka thought that "converting Yin Release into flames" was the limit of what [Entangled Flame Cat Fire] could do.

Unexpectedly, the [Entangling Flame Catfire] spell scroll also involves another very impressive detail—

【Entwined Flame Cat Fire】can be fused with Fire Release ninjutsu in a certain proportion and stabilize the structure of the technique!

It is known that 【Entangling Flame Cat Fire】is a Yin Release ninjutsu that uses flames as its form of expression.

It is known that [Entangling Flame Cat Fire] can be perfectly integrated with Fire Release ninjutsu and maintain the stability of the ninjutsu.

Isn't this the fusion of "Yin Release and Fire Release" that Nara Rinka is pursuing in the next stage?!

"The original plan was to study the fusion ratio of Yin Release and Water Release, and then choose one of the nature changes of wind and fire to continue the research."

Nara Rinkazu savored the scroll of the [Entwined Flame Cat Fire] technique, feeling an immense sense of joy and satisfaction.

"I never expected that the Two-Tails Matatabi's S-rank [Ninja Scroll] would directly reveal a fusion technique of Yin Release and Fire Release!"

Nara Rinka glanced at Samui, who was still unconscious on the back of the [Shadow Creature], and after confirming that the other party would not wake up for a while, he decisively began to test the power of the newly acquired S-rank technique.

One of the advantages of Yin Release ninjutsu is that it rarely requires the "hand seals" step.

Matatabi's [Entangled Flame Cat Fire] also does not require "hand seals" to use and release.

Nara Rinka raised his right hand and, following the ninjutsu usage method involved in the [Entangling Flame Cat Fire] technique scroll, slowly converted his Yin Release chakra into flame energy.

Peng——

A dark blue flame grew in Nara Rinka's right palm, expanding to the size of his hand in just a few breaths. The blazing dark blue flame scorched and distorted the surrounding cold air.

The "body" that Nara Rinka is using at this time is still the Yin Release shell created by the Shadow Clone Technique.

His true form was still fast asleep in the shadows—cultivating the [Immortal Clan Guiding Technique] and the [Immortal Clan Breathing Method].

The moment the [Entwined Flame Cat Fire] was ignited, it began to spread towards Nara Rinka's entire body.

Nara Rinka held up the eerie blue flames formed by the [Entangling Flame Cat Fire] with one hand, simultaneously cutting off the replenishment of Yin Release chakra.

"If I let the [Entangling Flame Catfire] spread unchecked, does that mean my body will also transform into something like Two-Tails Matatabi, a little blue man completely enveloped in blue flames?"

Without the replenishment of Yin Release chakra, the dark blue flame in Nara Rinka's right hand gradually weakened.

"The 'main body' doesn't need to turn into a little blue man, but this adds another option to the tactical repertoire of [Shadow Clone]..."

After a brief test of the usage steps of [Entangling Flame Cat Fire], Nara Rinka plans to test its specific power and effects after returning to the Land of Hot Springs.

The most urgent task is to test the fusion of [Entangling Flame Cat Fire] and Fire Release ninjutsu!

[Summoning Technique: Lightning Sword Transformation]!

Nara Rinka first took out a blank mask from the summoning talisman and, following the forging steps of a nature mask, sealed a certain amount of Yin Release chakra, which was used to release the Entangling Cat Fire, into it.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a Fire Release Mask and a new Blank Mask from the summoning talisman.

The fusion techniques involved in the [Entangled Flame Cat Fire] technique scroll are based on this.

Nara Rinkachi channeled the Yin Release and Fire Release chakra from the two masks into the Blank Mask in a certain proportion.

Under his gaze, the surface of the new [Blank Mask] showed no signs of damage or change.

Even after all the chakra within the two masks had been transferred, the new [Blank Mask] showed no signs of cracking.

Nara Rinkei, who has extensive experience in mask making, knows very well that this new mask has been successfully forged!

"Next, we'll see if it's really the Yin Release and Fire Release bloodline limit I imagined..."

Nara Rinka took a deep breath and reached out to pick up the brand-new [Nature Mask].

A message notification popped up quietly on the panel.

[B-rank ninja tool [Flame Release Mask] detected!]

[Rank B Ninja Tool: Flame Release Mask]

[Ninja Tool Description: Omitted]

【Ninja Tool Effect: 1. The 【Flame Release Mask】contains a B-rank level Flame Release Chakra, which is not affected by the usual principle of nature-based antagonism and can be transferred between the user and the user.

2. The flame-type chakra contained within the [Flame Release Mask] can be transformed into flames with automatic tracking capabilities, supplying the user with its own energy.

[Ninja Tool Review: If we just burn everything, wouldn't that be clean!]

"Just as expected!"

Nara Rinka gazed at the [Flame Release Mask] in his hand, his joy evident in his eyes.

"That's great!"

Nara Rinkazu thought for a moment and guided the Flame Release chakra sealed within the Flame Release Mask.

A ball of purplish-black chakra gathered in Nara Rinka's palm, forming a continuously burning purplish-black flame, its heat even surpassing that of the previous [Entangling Flame Cat Fire].

Nara Rinka manipulated the purplish-black flames, which flowed and danced like water at his fingertips, creating a cool and magnificent scene.

"For some reason, I was reminded of an old friend with red hair... Hyakushiki Oni-yaki!"

Nara Rinkazu's right hand was shaped like a claw, sweeping fiercely through the air like a falcon, leaving a faint burn mark in the air as his claw left a trail of purplish-black flames.

As Nara loosened his grip, the purplish-black flame immediately flew out of his hand, streaking across the sky like a shooting star.

Nara Rinka could sense a faint connection between himself and the purplish-black flame formed from [Flame Release] chakra. He could even manipulate the movement and direction of the flame remotely through this connection.

"Form change, automatic tracking, and terrifyingly high temperatures—these are the three fundamental characteristics of [Flame Release]!"

The demonstration of the [Flame Release] technique made Nara Ranka involuntarily think of another fire-style ninjutsu.

It is said to be the highest-level ninjutsu in the Fire Release series—[Amaterasu]!

Well known.

Fire Release ninjutsu is the legendary "Art of Compassion".

Despite possessing extremely high offensive ninjutsu, the number of ninjas killed by Fire Release throughout the entire series is truly very small.

As for Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha's [Amaterasu].

It can burn with a glare, and once burned, it will never go out.

They were exaggerating its incredible power.

However, when you look at their actual performance, it's so bad it's unbearable to look at.

Burning the stomach lining of a toad, burning snake skin, burning arms...

There is even a specific counter-technique for Amaterasu—Ninja Art: Undressing Technique.

Once you're hit by the supposedly indestructible black flames of Amaterasu, simply removing your clothes will allow you to avoid the burning damage...

This isn't just outrageous; it's like its mother opening a door for something outrageous.

That would at least be outrageous, like its grandma opening the door for outrageous people.

When Nara Ranke thought of Amaterasu, it wasn't because he hoped that his Flame Release would be as bad as the former.

After all, throughout the entire history of the ninja world, there are all sorts of ninjutsu and counter-ninjutsu.

A ninjutsu like Amaterasu, which can be countered by "undressing," is incredibly powerful even in the world of explosive techniques.

only……

"As one of the eye techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan, Amaterasu is definitely a ninjutsu that is released by 'eye power', but it still does not deviate from the essence of fire-style ninjutsu."

"From this perspective, is Amaterasu also a 'calamity fire' formed by the fusion of Yin Release and Fire Release?"

"Furthermore, although Amaterasu's actual combat record is lackluster, its attack power is truly not to be underestimated, especially its attack power against living organisms, such as the esophagus of the giant toad..."

"If Amaterasu is a fusion of Yin Release and Fire Release, then it explains why it causes such high damage to living matter..."

"With that in mind, I'll also need to test the lethality of [Flame Release] against living beings later."

"If my deduction is correct, then the basic characteristics of [Flame Release] need to be further enhanced... with a specialization in ecological functions!"

Nara Rinka extracts the advanced and complex knowledge of ninjutsu.

Limited by the current environmental conditions, he was unable to immediately begin in-depth research on [Flame Release].

However, once they arrive in the Land of Hot Springs, Nara Rinka will definitely convert the [Flame Release] into the corresponding [Flame Release Chakra Creation Method] as soon as possible!

"I didn't expect to master the fusion of Yin Release and Water Release before I even mastered the fusion of Yin Release and Water Release... It saved me a lot of trouble!"

Nara Rinka shifted her gaze to Samui and quietly put away all the masks beside her.

In his perception, Samui was about to wake up.

Nara Rinkei doesn't currently intend to give this "little golden cat" much trust.

Of course, considering the S-rank technique [Entangling Flame Cat Fire] that was just used, Nara Rinkei decided to slightly improve Samui's future situation and treatment.

"Eek—"

Samyi let out a soft moan, opened her eyes, and stared blankly at the boundless sky.

"woke up?"

Nara Rinka spoke up in time, drawing the other party's attention.

"We are almost at the Land of Hot Springs."

"Nara-sensei!"

Samui attempted to flip himself off the back of the Shadow Creature.

However, he had just received a chakra infusion from Matatabi, the Two-Tails.

Let alone "carp leaping out of the water," even the simple act of turning over and sitting up made Samui's brows furrow tightly.

"Rest well for a while, stop struggling."

Nara Rinka's words of advice made Samui stop hesitating to bow and greet this "Nara teacher".

But the question that followed immediately made Samui tense up.

"Samui, what's your chakra nature? Have you had it tested?"

"Reporting, Nara-sensei! It's fire! I have the talent for Fire Release: Nature Transformation!"
