He originally wanted to try a trick to see if treating only one area would count as completing the task.
Unfortunately, the moment his thought crossed his mind, a system notification popped up.
[Reminder: This is a 120-minute project. Please behave yourself.]
'System, what's this 120-minute project?'
[It's the most expensive, compliant kind; please don't play dumb, host.]
Shenyue Xingyun sighed softly.
Time passed little by little.
Mikoto Uchiha's body twitched occasionally, and Shingetsu Seiun couldn't tell if it was the healing effect of the Healing Palm Technique or if she had woken up.
It's like she's awake, but also like she's not.
As if awake.
He ignored the other person and continued with the treatment, hoping the awkward moment would pass quickly.
The doctor is kind.
I have a clear conscience!
Tomorrow, no one will remember what happened today.
He began to concentrate on using the Palm Immortal Technique.
One, two... one thousand and sixty times.
Whether Mikoto Uchiha was awake or not, whether her breathing fluctuated or not, he pretended not to see it in the dim light of the cave. He only cared about healing his wounds.
This was a long 120 minutes…
...
Mikoto Uchiha felt like she was going to die!
Palm Immortal Technique!
She never imagined that one day she would almost die from the Palm Immortal Technique.
Sometimes, she couldn't help but want to open her eyes, but inexplicably, she just clenched her fists.
Wait a moment.
Perhaps the treatment will be over soon.
With that thought in mind, she waited and waited.
After the other party had treated her injuries to a near-complete degree.
She gradually became numb.
Then... she started replaying her thoughts on a slideshow.
A jumble of images flashed before her eyes.
The days of skipping and jumping around the Uchiha clan's territory with braids, the girl with countless suitors at the ninja academy, the excellent ninja after graduation, the powerful Fugaku, the increasingly boring married life, the villagers who gradually distanced themselves from the Uchiha under the influence of the higher-ups, the husband who was busy with clan affairs all day long, and the phrase he always said, "I'm going to a meeting at the Naka Shrine"...
Sometimes she felt like she was dead, and sometimes she felt her heart pounding violently.
Waves surge and clouds gather.
In a daze, Uchiha Mikoto felt herself flying.
Keep going up, up, and up again! We arrived at the top of a sheer cliff.
The next second, it crashed down!
And then the cycle repeats itself.
Unaware of where they were, it seemed like the journey would never end.
In the dimly lit cave, at a certain moment, Uchiha Mikoto uncontrollably opened her eyes, first in panic, then with an empty look.
……
【Ding! 】
[Current Task: Ultimate Version of Teacher-Student Compassion - Completed]
[Please select mission reward: Demon King Training Manual Lv3, Uchiha Fluid Jutsu Lv3, Great Fireball Jutsu 1000x Special Skill Amplification Card.]
Upon seeing the system notification that popped up in front of her, Shen Yue Xingyun excitedly stopped her treatment.
Check the task rewards.
I glanced at the Demon King Cultivation Manual; it was a guide for cultivating an evolved version of Uchiha Itachi. I'll skip it.
Uchiha Taijutsu Lv3. Selecting this will raise your taijutsu skills to the level of an Uchiha Jonin.
Shenyue Xingyun looked somewhat surprised.
The first image that came to mind was Madara Uchiha leading the Allied Shinobi Forces.
Shaking his head to banish the unrealistic images from his mind, Shenyue Xingyun looked at the last option—the 1000x special skill amplification card for the Great Fireball.
The task changed twice, and this was the most obvious change. Moreover, he felt that this was a reward specially prepared by the system to lure him in.
Click for details: Fireball Jutsu 1000x Special Skill Amplification Card. This card amplifies the power of Fireball Jutsu by 1000 times (Note: Chakra consumption is increased tenfold).
Since learning the Great Fireball Technique, he has practiced for days, and the size of the fireball has increased from more than half a person's height to the height of a person. If it were to be enlarged a thousand times... Shenyue Xingyun thought for a moment and looked at the dark rock ceiling of the cave.
Choose the Fireball Special Skill Amplification Card (1000x)!
'use!'
[Bound to: Uchiha Mikoto (Instance - Uchiha Fugaku)]
[Task refreshed!]
[Current Task: Succession in an Orderly Manner (Your team leader, a Jonin, is deeply concerned about the education of the children. Please guide Uchiha Itachi to ensure his healthy development up to the age of enrollment.)]
[Task Timeframe: Three Years]
[Mission Reward (Choose one): Susanoo First Form Lv3, Noble Phantasm: Yata Mirror, "Healing and Eye-Nourishing Technique".]
Shenyue Xingyun was somewhat surprised to see the new mission.
I thought the system would continue to mess with him, but the tasks suddenly became much more normal.
Putting the task aside, Shenyue Xingyun checked her attribute panel.
[Host: Shenyue Xingyun]
【Charm: 99】
[Title: Succubus's Hand]
[Chakra: 0.04/0.31 calories, Status: High Consumption]
[Physical Techniques: (Lv1), Body Flicker Technique (Lv3), Leaf Style Swordsmanship (Lv1), Great Kabuto (Lv1) (Can cause minor mental damage)]
[Ninjutsu: Great Fireball Technique (Lv4), Palm Healing Technique (Lv2)]
[Illusion: Illusion Resistance (Lv2)]
[Backpack: Title - Shadowless, Chakra Recovery Card *2]
When Shen Yuexingyun saw the words 'Lv4' after the Fireball Technique, her pupils trembled slightly.
Lv4!
The system boosted the Great Fireball by 1000 times, bringing it to Lv4.
I want to try it...
Chapter 64 Power
"Mikoto-sensei." He turned to look at Uchiha Mikoto, wanting to ask if using an extremely large Great Fireball Jutsu would be effective against this strange Earth Release ninjutsu, but when his gaze fell on her, he realized that she had already fallen asleep at some point.
Judging from the other person's even breathing and relaxed posture, it wasn't an act; it was genuine.
Just as he was about to shake the other person awake, Shenyue Xingyun suddenly stopped what she was doing.
Perhaps it's not a bad thing that the other person has fallen asleep.
After all, it was an extremely large fireball, which was difficult for him to explain.
Carefully dragging Uchiha Mikoto to a corner of the cave, a damp trail was left on the ground where they had been—the blood from her previous injuries.
At the same time, with each step he took on the ground, he felt a portion of his chakra being drawn away by the space. Despite covering only a short distance, the chakra consumption of Shen Yue Xingyun was extremely noticeable. In the system panel, [Chakra: 0.04/0.31 cal, Status: Significant Consumption] had changed to [Chakra: 0.03/0.31 cal, Status: Huge Consumption]
Using his clothes to carefully cover Uchiha Mikoto, Shingetsu Seiun found her ninja tool bag and discovered several explosive tags. Including the two tags already in her bag, there were less than ten tags in total.
Reaching the center of the cave, he looked up at the stone wall about fifty meters away, secretly estimating the effect of a fireball with 1000 times the power.
'System, if this fireball is launched, will it instantly turn me and Misaka-sensei into furnaces together?'
[Hint: This is a 1000x Fireball Technique with controllable launch direction. Please use it boldly.]
He pursed his lips, suppressing the faint worry in his heart, Shenyue Xingyun knew he had no other choice.
Their current location is at the center where the Land of Fire's border connects to Konoha. It would take at least a full day for Sarutobi Asuma and Yuhi Kurenai to return and report back to reinforcements. If they were going back to Konoha, that would be fine, but if they were going to the front-line garrison, it's questionable whether the people sent could even break through this Earth Release barrier.
If they wait any longer, he might be able to hold on with his chakra recovery card, but Uchiha Mikoto definitely won't be able to.
Although he healed the other party's injuries, his weakened body couldn't hold out for long in such an environment.
So, let's gamble on a 1000x multiplier Fireball!
'Use the Chakra Recovery Card!'
As the panel refreshed from [Chakra: 0.03/0.31 cards, Status: Huge Consumption] to [Chakra: 0.31/0.31 cards, Status: Healthy], a rich surge of chakra instantly flowed into his limbs and bones.
Sensing the abundant power within his body, Shingetsu Nebula dared not delay, fearing that the barrier would absorb his chakra again.
He took a deep breath, urging his chakra to surge rapidly along his meridians, while simultaneously changing hand seals.
'Wei-Wu-Mao-Si-Ren-You-Hai-Wu-Yin!'
As the nine hand seals were formed in succession, Shen Yue Xingyun felt his abundant chakra being rapidly depleted, and a surge of intense, scorching energy accumulated in his chest, which he felt compelled to release.
He clasped his hands together and suddenly exhaled towards the dark sky!
