Chapter 53 Restart and meeting with fate

  On the training ground.

  Boom!

  The moment the fist touched the ground, there was a loud bang, and a pothole with a diameter of several meters exploded directly on the ground, gravel splashed everywhere, and the figure was covered by the sudden dust.

  After the smoke and dust dissipated, there were still shocking cracks in the potholes, extending deeper into the ground.

  The skin on Liuli's fist was a little red, and she felt a dull pain in the fist, but soon she couldn't feel the pain again, and it disappeared without a trace.

   "Is this the power of natural energy? It really shouldn't be underestimated. Just a casual fist has exactly the same effect as ninjutsu."

  Not only that, Liuli felt that her body had become extremely light, and the effect of using natural energy to replace Chakra's increase in the body was so remarkable.

   This made Liuli a little in awe of the power of nature.

  Compared with the whole nature, the natural energy in one's body is just a drop of water in the ocean.

   Falling into such contemplation, Liuli suddenly felt that human beings, or ninjas, were really too small.

  Survival is inseparable from this land, and it is also inseparable from this sky.

  No matter how strong you become, you can't escape this world.

  Everything is given by nature.

  The chakra formed by the human body is not worth mentioning before this mighty power.

   "What's the matter, you're out of your mind?"

  Baishi carries a portable medical kit, in order to prevent Liuli or himself from being injured in the next practice, and to be able to quickly treat him.

  After seeing Liuli try out the power of physical skills, she fell into deep thought and couldn't help feeling puzzled.

   "It's nothing, I just suddenly feel that human beings are such a small existence in front of nature."

  When Shiraishi heard this, he suddenly laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

  Liuli narrowed her eyes, a fierce light appeared in her eyes, and her fists were already raised.

   "Ah, it's nothing, I just feel that it's not like your style, Liuli, to express my feelings about life here."

   "..."

   "Okay, okay, there is actually no need for this. In the end, we humans are also an inseparable part of nature, but humans are a group of animals in the natural world, and humans are more prominent. Don't think about human beings and nature based on the idea that human beings are higher life forms above the natural world. There is a saying, the more knowledge you have, the more you know your own powerlessness."

   Thinking carefully about Baishi's words, Liuli quite agrees.

  Before I was too ignorant, so I was not afraid of everything.

  As you grow older and gain more knowledge, you can realize what is truly vast and broad.

   Before such great power, I realized that my previous self was just a frog in a well.

   "Okay, how does the natural energy feel?"

   Baishi asked about business.

   Liuli didn't answer, but directly punched Shiraishi in the face.

  Baishi tilted his head slightly, letting Liuli's fist pass by his ear, as if he had calculated it carefully.

   "As you said, this feeling is very strong, and it is completely different from my previous self. Now, with the power of Sharingan, I should be able to catch Teacher Shuo Mao's speed and make a timely counterattack."

  Liuli felt that there was endless energy in her body, and every cell in her body was jumping for joy, which made her feel unprecedentedly comfortable.

   "That's right. Next, let's experiment whether natural energy can be directly applied to ninjutsu and genjutsu."

  Natural energy is actually the same as physical energy and spiritual energy, and requires many steps to extract.

   Taking in natural energy from nature is just a general overview. How to effectively ingest it, how to store it in the body, and which part of the body is the most suitable as an entrance all require continuous accumulation of experience.

  The same goes for physical and mental energy.

  The food intake of the day, the type of food, whether the emotional state of the day is stable, etc., will all affect the extraction of physical energy and mental energy.

  Theoretically, Chakra can be used to use Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu, then it has been proven that natural energy can enhance Taijutsu, then Ninjutsu and Genjutsu should not be a problem.

   Liuli did not object, she also wanted to know whether natural energy could be used to release ninjutsu and illusion.

   As she spoke, she began to form mudras, and in order to better balance the natural energy gathered in the mouth, she performed ninjutsu release.

"Art fire escape **** fireball!"

  As the Uchiha clan's signature fire escape technique, it is far stronger than the fire escape technique of ordinary ninjas.

  Although the glaze was successfully sealed, and the natural energy did gather in the oral cavity, there was no major reaction.

"What's wrong?"

  Seeing Liuli's slightly unnatural and painful look, Baishi ran over worriedly and asked.

  Liuli turned her head, opened her mouth, and took a breath, her expression felt better.

   "Tongue is burning..."

  Shiraishi: "..."

   Looks like a failure.

  Natural energy only emits unimaginable heat in Liuli's mouth, but it has not changed into a fireball, and is presented in a materialized way.

"Art fire escape **** fireball!"

"Art fire escape **** fireball!"

   "Fire Escape · Hao Fireball..."

  …

  Afterwards, every time Liuli used the fireball, she had to drink a big sip of water to reduce the heat in her mouth.

   It lasted until the evening, and the experiment of natural energy release ninjutsu ended.

   The result ended in failure.

  ◎

   A week passed after that.

  Using natural energy to replace chakra, and experimenting with releasing ninjutsu and illusion, none of them ended in failure.

  That is to say, the natural energy that currently exists alone cannot be used to replace Chakra's status of releasing ninjutsu and illusion, except for increasing physical and mental activity.

  But this does not mean that this experiment has completely failed. Shiraishi believes that the reason why he could not achieve his expected effect may be due to the wrong method.

  Suddenly at this time, an order came from above, and Shuo Mao's team needed to start operations immediately, and went to the front line of the Fire Nation battlefield to provide support.

  Therefore, Shiraishi had no choice but to stop the work at hand, and quickly concealed everything in the laboratory, and handed over the experimental equipment to the ninja cat summoned by Liuli.

   After nearly 20 days of relaxing time, the Shuo Mao team finally ushered in a new round of mission career.

  Assemble at Konoha Gate.

  When Shiraishi and Liuli came here, Ayane and Sakumo had been waiting here for a long time.

  Because it wasted a lot of time to hide the experimental equipment, Baishi and Liuli came a little late, but there is still half an hour before the agreed meeting time, so it is not considered late.

  The four of them didn't talk much after they met. After more than half a month, the faces of the four of them were slightly different. Shuo Mao's aura became the most obvious. There was a sharp aura that was revealed all over his body. It could be predicted that his sword skills had improved to a higher level.

   "Teacher Shuo Mao, we are all here, we can go."

  When Baishi saw that everyone was present, he was ready to act.

   "Wait a little longer, there is another team that will act with us. It should be coming soon."

   Shuo Mao smiled and waited with a sinking heart.

  Another squad? The three of Baishi looked puzzled.

   Sure enough, as Shuo Mao said, about half a minute later, two people, one big and one small, came here.

  Adult is the same as Sakumo, wearing Konoha's Jōnin uniform. He is a white-haired adult man. He looks a little slippery and unscrupulous, but he has an extraordinary demeanor.

  The little man following behind him was about the same age as the three of Baishi, with golden hair shining brightly and a sunny and handsome smile.

  —Nafeng Minato.

   Shiraishi recognized the boy's identity.

   Like the three of us, they are students who entered the ninja school at the same time, so it can be said that they are classmates of the same class.

  But the other party skipped a grade and graduated in the fourth grade, and became a ninja earlier than the three of them, and participated in the mission.

   I didn't expect to meet in this situation.

  Shiraishi greeted Minato friendly, and Minato smiled back.

   "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, because some things were delayed, there should be no delays, Shuo Mao?"

  The white-haired ninja scratched his head with a smile. He was easy to talk and had a bright personality.

   "No. But I didn't expect you to have returned to the village, Jiraiya. We haven't seen each other for several years."

  Sakumo called out the name of the white-haired ninja.

   One of Konoha Sannin, Jiraiya, a disciple of the Third Hokage.

  After hearing this name, Shiraishi took a slight look at Jiraiya.

   Judging from the external aura, he is indeed a strong Jnin. There are no obvious flaws in his every move, which shows that his physical skills are definitely not weak.

  Just that, Shiraishi will not pay attention to him.

   But a while ago, a lot of toads suddenly appeared in Konoha, and he was the biggest suspect.

  The other party chatted with Shuo Mao in a few words, talking and laughing, Bai Shi secretly nodded.

   This kind of guy is very troublesome, thick-skinned, and has strong communication skills. Therefore, when talking with him, you should avoid the important and ignore the trivial. Even if you are chatting, the other party has a strong purpose.

  Leaving aside his strength, his personality is definitely the type that Shiraishi does not want to meet.

   Not long after reminiscing about the old days, Shuo Mao and Zilai took the lead and rushed towards the frontline battlefield.

   On the way, Jilai also secretly sighed.

  Although I put some toads from Mt. Miaomu in the leaves, I am not confident that I can find anything.

   What's more, he has to go to the front line now, so he has no time to think about it.

   It would be great if Immortal Toad's prediction ability was more accurate.

  By the way...is there really such a powerful ninja among Konoha?

  But the powerful ninjas familiar in Konoha have a close relationship with him, and it cannot be said that they know everything about him, but their loyalty to Konoha is absolutely no problem.

  So, who is the person who brought the boundless flames of war to the ninja world and let the ninjas be destroyed from the ninja world?

   Where is Konoha in the corner?
