#62 - Wind escape seed, additional wind escape attribute

"But before these eyes, it's still not enough."

With Kiyoshi's insight, he easily captured Sarutobi Asuma.

If we're just talking about the 'seeing' function of the eyes.

The Byakugan has X-ray vision, 360-degree field of vision, plus farsightedness.

The Sharingan has unparalleled dynamic vision!

Boom!

Kiyoshi's slender ninja blade blocked Sarutobi Asuma's serrated blade.

The two intersected, and Wind Release and Fire Release merged together, with wind fueling the fire. In an instant, the flame expanded into a large ball, like a brilliant firecracker!

"Sharingan!?"

Sarutobi Asuma was stunned, feeling the heat rushing towards his face.

He seemed to have seen a flash of scarlet in Kiyoshi's eyes just now.

Unfortunately, it was extremely fast. He didn't catch it and wasn't sure if he was seeing things.

No!

Sarutobi Asuma's eyes narrowed.

How could Kiyoshi know this move?

Without a doubt, this is... 'Chakra Flow'!

Looking at Sarutobi Asuma's puzzled and extremely surprised expression, Kiyoshi exerted force with his wrist.

Clang!

Sarutobi Asuma's chakra blade was knocked into the air by Kiyoshi.

There were obvious scratches on the surface of his fingers, as if they were about to break the skin.

The eight ninja skills include 'Strength'.

And 'Strength' is the ninja's arm strength, leg strength, and whole-body muscle strength, etc.

With the double bloodline blessing of the Yotsuki clan and the Uchiha clan, Kiyoshi's strength was greater than Sarutobi Asuma's.

The current Sarutobi Asuma was still a skinny young man, not the future scruffy macho man.

Of course, even as an adult, Kiyoshi didn't think Sarutobi Asuma could surpass him in strength.

For no other reason than that the Yotsuki clan was able to survive in a cruel and harsh environment, they had already undergone the strict selection of nature.

All those with poor physical genes had already died in history, leaving only the best genes!

The pain in his hand quickly transmitted to Sarutobi Asuma's brain through his nerves, bringing him back to his senses from his surprise.

They were still in battle.

Sarutobi Asuma gritted his teeth and swung the chakra blade in his other hand towards Kiyoshi, while using the hand that had released the chakra blade to assist with hand seals.

The light blue edge on the chakra blade shone even brighter, making a hissing sound.

Kiyoshi smiled slightly.

The future 'Flying Swallow'?

'Flying Swallow' doesn't refer to Sarutobi Asuma's fist blade-like chakra blades, but rather the Wind Release chakra nature ninjutsu attached to the chakra blades.

Like a pair of wings spread out by a flying swallow, emitting two dazzling beams of light in close combat.

Although it's not as mature as it will be in the future, it has some semblance of its prototype right now.

"Then, I'll come too."

Kiyoshi also had a move called 'Flying Bird'.

However, it didn't have so many fancy special effects, just the skill of exerting force and accelerating movement with chakra, making it particularly fast.

At this moment, Kiyoshi also moved.

The ninja blade emitting red-hot heat waves seemed to have disappeared before Sarutobi Asuma's eyes.

That逼人 high temperature, disappeared with a whoosh.

A warning bell rang loudly in Sarutobi Asuma's heart.

It's coming!

Sarutobi Asuma felt the airflow, but didn't have time to react.

The tactile sensation in his hand immediately made Sarutobi Asuma feel like he was hitting a solid mountain rock.

The second was Kiyoshi suddenly getting closer and then further away.

Kiyoshi seemed to be moving away from him, further and further away.

Sarutobi Asuma's pupils shrank. It wasn't Kiyoshi moving further away from him, but himself!

Boom!

The chakra blade in Sarutobi Asuma's hand felt like he was holding a heavy lead ball, carrying Sarutobi Asuma's body backwards.

Crack...

The tree behind him caught Sarutobi Asuma's body, and the rough bark cracked with spider web-like patterns.

His right hand, which was originally holding the chakra, was embedded in the tree trunk.

"Asuma..."

Yuhi Kurenai's eyes widened.

Just now, one of them was holding a fiery red ninja blade, and the other was holding a light blue chakra blade.

In one exchange, Sarutobi Asuma had one of his chakra blades knocked away, and then after a blur of the ninja blade in his hand, Sarutobi Asuma fell backwards.

Is this the foundation of a great clan ninja?

Yuhi Kurenai felt that it was completely different from the playing house during ninja school.

"You have comprehended the term [Wind Release Seed (White)]."

[Term: Wind Release Seed (White)]

[Achievement Requirements: Use Fire Release to restrain Wind Release and defeat Sarutobi Asuma's 'Flying Swallow'.]

[Progress: (Completed).]

[Effect: Your chakra's nature transformation for 'Wind Release' is strengthened, and you can refine chakra of this attribute.]

[Note: Subsequent advancements are possible.]

"Increasing chakra attributes after birth?"

Kiyoshi was slightly stunned.

This could save him years of training.

"Consider it a bargain."

Kiyoshi thought to himself.

The term panel recognized the prototype of 'Flying Swallow' as completed.

In that case, he can also practice some Wind Release ninjutsu.

Learning more different ninjutsu will help ninjas have an advantage in any geographical environment.

The future Sarutobi Asuma's strength is elite jonin, one of the strongest Wind Release ninjas in Konoha.

Further advancement would allow him to fight against the so-called 'Kage'.

Of course, this is a theoretical development.

Sarutobi Asuma will die in his thirties at the hands of the Akatsuki organization, and his strength will forever stagnate at that moment.

If he were to face 'Flying Swallow' at that time, Kiyoshi didn't think it would be as easy as it is now.

"Cough cough..."

Sarutobi Asuma was in so much pain that he couldn't breathe. After a while, he was able to use his vocal cords to make a sound.

"Kiyoshi, you're so strong, and how did you learn 'Chakra Flow'?"

Sarutobi Asuma pulled his hand out of the tree trunk. If he hadn't used 'Chakra Flow' and gathered a lot of chakra in his hand beforehand, Sarutobi Asuma might have suffered a bone fracture from that one blow.

At that time, he would have to lie down for a day or two even with medical ninjutsu.

But more than that, he was surprised that Kiyoshi also knew 'Chakra Flow'.

Isn't this his always leading field?

Before he knew it, Kiyoshi had rushed up.

"Because I'm a genius."

Kiyoshi said, touching his chin.

It's normal for the Uchiha clan to produce geniuses.

It's just that in this process, he also had some help from the term panel.

This reason left Sarutobi Asuma speechless, and he silently stood up and put the chakra blade that had been knocked away earlier into his ninja tool bag.

"Kiyoshi, I didn't see you practice this."

Yuhi Kurenai walked over gracefully, pointing to the ninja blade in Kiyoshi's hand.

The flames on it had faded, leaving behind a dark red afterglow that gradually dissipated.

"I practiced after you left."

"Is that so?"

Yuhi Kurenai nodded upon hearing this.

When Kiyoshi was with her, they were exchanging genjutsu and practicing together.

There really wasn't much time to practice other things.

"Asuma, you're very strong, but I took advantage of the fact that Fire Release restrains Wind Release. Otherwise, the result would be hard to say. I estimate that there's a high probability that we can pass this Chunin Exam. Let's participate together. Kurenai's genjutsu also meets the standards."

Kiyoshi turned to look at Sarutobi Asuma.

The five elements ninjutsu, mutually generating and restraining each other.

Fire Release happens to restrain Wind Release.
