Chapter 12: Moonlight Blade

Finally, the blade stopped one centimeter above Tiancun Hao's head, almost touching his scalp.

"Hoo, hoo..."

Tamura Hao panted violently, his head was sweating, his face was a little red, his heartbeat was almost twice as fast as usual, and his arms holding the knife were trembling slightly.

This was the side effect of the previous explosion. Even if he used his comprehension to improve his chakra control to the limit that can be achieved at this stage, such a long-term high-intensity explosion still caused a load on the body, and even damage.

At the same time, Fukai's explosive power was too strong. Every collision was a severe test for his arms. He felt that his arm muscles had been strained in many places.

"The teacher is too strong. I didn't let the teacher retreat even a step when I burst out with all my strength."

After taking a breath, Tiancun Hao put the two swords into the sealing technique of the arm guard, and sighed at the strength of this teacher.

The opponent was far stronger than himself in both strength and speed. He didn't even use ninjutsu just now. He simply used chakra to increase his body strength and calmly blocked his combo attack.

He didn't hurt him at all after hitting him hundreds of times, and his counterattack afterwards crushed him and made him retreat again and again.

He is indeed a jonin who has mastered the art of ninjutsu, and he is also the future Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails.

Of course, it was mainly because he was too weak. His current combat power was probably similar to that of Lee who didn't use the Eight Gates during the Chunin Exam in the original plot.

And he was in an explosive state just now, and couldn't last long. He couldn't last for less than a minute from the beginning to the end of the battle.

It wasn't even three minutes!

It was mainly because his chakra was exhausted, and he couldn't fight against Fukai with his physical fitness alone.

Fukai looked at the ninja sword whose blade was almost serrated, and sighed in his heart, but he was very satisfied with this student.

"Your burst just now was very powerful, enough to fight against a Chunin who specializes in physical skills. It is rare to have such strength at the age of ten.

It is also wise to choose this long sword to make up for the lack of long-range ninjutsu attacks to a certain extent, especially when dealing with opponents with full-body mechanisms like puppeteers. It will be safer to fight like this."

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a genius at the age of ten. If it were not for the chakra volume that dragged him down and made his burst just now difficult to sustain, he would be a real Chunin.

Of course, strength is only part of the ninja title assessment. The more important thing for Chunin is tactical command ability, which is not yet visible.

"I have put in many times the effort of ordinary people to achieve the current results."

Tamura Hao shook his head, feeling helpless about this. This is a gap in physical qualifications, and it cannot be continuously improved by acquired efforts.

In this world, natural qualifications determine the upper limit, and hard work only determines a lower limit.

Without the blood of Otsutsuki, you are not qualified even if you want to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki.

"You are too young now, and your physique has not yet fully developed. It is not suitable for you to major in strength. Moreover, your sword and swordsmanship are mainly based on stabbing, supplemented by slashing, which is more suitable for the burst of speed.

Later, I will teach you how to practice the nature change of the thunder attribute. After you have mastered it, you can use the thunder attribute chakra to stimulate the nerves and bones to increase the burst speed.

In addition, the stimulation and burst of speed puts much less load on the body than the burst of strength, which is more suitable for your current age and size.

Then there is actual combat. You have almost no actual combat experience. Although the foundation of swordsmanship is solid, it is relatively rigid. You need to use a lot of actual combat to activate the swordsmanship."

Fukai gave advice and made a general plan for the student's training in the future.

"I am right, isn't it? Ah Hao is a rare genius."

At this time, a figure flashed beside the two of them. It was Yeyue Ai.

Yeyue Ai had arrived a long time ago and watched the entire battle process of the two.

Although it was only a short minute, he was very interested and slightly surprised.

He knew that this junior brother was a genius, but he had previously thought that his talent lay in the research and development of weapons and ninja tools, or in other words, in novel ideas.

But who would have thought that he was so talented in training and fighting.

He saw the battle just now very clearly, and could clearly see that this junior brother was making progress in actual combat. Even when facing Fukai who took the initiative to attack, his means of response became more and more fluent.

If it weren't for the huge gap in strength and the exhaustion of chakra, he might have been able to hold on for a while.

"Brother Yeyue!"

Tiancun Hao greeted Yeyue Ai.

"Let's go, I have prepared medicinal baths for you, and medical ninjas."

Yeyue Ai put his arm around Tiancun Hao's shoulders and led him out of the training ground.

This time he came here specifically to take this junior brother to the medicinal bath.

Fukai also followed him. He also wanted to talk more with this student about future training, especially to understand his thoughts on his future path.

…

“Isn’t this medicinal bath a secret of the Night Moon Clan?”

Coming to the three large barrels and looking at the medicinal liquid inside, Fukai was shocked.

He had used the Night Moon Clan’s body-refining medicinal bath, which was very effective for physical training and could repair hidden injuries in the body.

But he had only enjoyed it less than ten times, mainly because it was too expensive. One barrel cost one million taels. Even if their family had some assets, they couldn’t afford too many medicinal baths.

The most important thing was that this was a secret medicinal bath of the Night Moon Clan, and it was even improved by the second generation, which gathered the secret medicines inherited by many families in the Hidden Cloud Village. It was even more priceless and was a secret of the Night Moon Clan and the Raikage lineage.

Now Yeyue Ai actually brought that child here to enjoy this kind of medicinal bath, which was very wrong.

"This is more advanced than the medicinal bath you enjoyed at the beginning. It is used by our Yeyue clan to temper the hand blade. My father's hell stab was also trained with the help of this medicinal bath for many years."

Yeyue Ai said proudly that this medicinal bath is the most perfect. The previous full-body body training was just a simplified version.

However, this medicinal bath is too expensive. Each of the three large barrels costs 10 million taels. In the past, they could only use the small barrels to simply temper their palms and then practice the secret hand blade secret technique of their Yeyue family.

The core secret technique of their Yeyue family is to hone the heirloom hand blade as sharp as lightning through the training of crushing the body and bones. Only when it is used can Chiyo Mai, who can perform the level of thunder and cruelty, be invincible.

Because of this, although Chiyo Mai, who can perform the level of thunder and cruelty, is only a C-level ninjutsu, its power is not weaker than that of S-level ninjutsu, and even the defense of the tailed beast can be broken by it.

My father has practiced a stronger hell stab on this basis and suppressed the runaway eight-tail and two-tail many times.

And now he has extravagantly used ten times the amount of medicinal bath, which is enough to temper the whole body.

"Ah Hao, this is our Yeyue family's secret medicine. The cost of one barrel of this kind of big barrel is 10 million taels, and three barrels are 30 million taels. Each medicinal bath can last for a month, and it can be done once a month. Can you bear it?"

Turning his eyes to Tiancun Hao who was looking at the three barrels of medicinal liquid, Yeyue Ai hung the future welfare on this junior brother.

This junior brother is fine in other aspects, but his ability to make money is really top.

The current income is already scary, and it will increase significantly in the future. It is only a matter of time to surpass the overall income of the village.

After discussing with his father, he came up with this crazy idea.

With the help of the junior brother's money ability, the strength of the three of them can be maximized, at least to improve their physical fitness.

In the past, their Yeyue clan had limited financial resources, and could only use this precious medicinal bath to temper their palms and practice heirloom hand knives, but now they can further temper the whole body.

When the body is tempered to the extreme, the power of the ninjutsu performed will be unimaginable.
