Chapter 324: Time and space training, accumulated tasks

Dragon veins, according to legend, have endless energy.

However, when Xia Li absorbed it, he found that the legend was not true, because as long as it was energy, it would be absorbed one day.

Although dragon veins can regenerate, when the absorption speed exceeds the regeneration speed, its infinity is no longer infinite.

Moreover, Xia Li also found that this dragon vein has actually consumed a lot, probably due to the consumption caused by the previous reversal of time and space, which is not low.

However, even so, the energy of the dragon vein is not small. After the Grayer Mine, Xia Li finally has another energy source that he can absorb.

Absorbing the dragon vein, and then converting it into natural energy, he began to wash his body as before the transformation, in order to achieve further breakthroughs.

Although the efficiency is a bit slow, Xia Li is not in a hurry. There is a spiritual shadow clone in the main world and nothing will happen.

Because although it is only a spiritual shadow clone, the strength that the spiritual shadow clone can use is also one of the best there, and there are Sasuke and Naruto, and Konoha is now ridiculously stable.

Unlike when he absorbed the Grayer ore vein, his physique was still very weak, so the efficiency of absorption was actually very low, and the speed of transformation was also very slow.

Xia Li's current absorption speed was like swallowing a whale, but the speed of flushing was even slower.

After all, his body had reached such a level, and it was really not easy to become stronger.

A few days later, Xia Li slowly opened his eyes, and he had a feeling that his body was about to reach saturation.

However, even if it was saturated, he could not break through, but reached a perfect state. It seemed that his next breakthrough would probably reach another level...

"Six Paths level?" Xia Li thought, this level was indeed not so easy to reach, but he now had the confidence to break through to the Six Paths level after completing the fusion of the three major immortal modes.

Xia Li looked at the dragon vein at this time, and the dragon vein naturally still had a lot of energy.

However, if he continued to absorb, Xia Li felt that the dragon vein might not be able to regenerate and recover by itself.

Xia Li still understood the principle of exhausting the pond to catch fish. Although this was not Xia Li's world, Xia Li did not intend to really absorb it all.

After all, Xia Li didn't know what would happen if he really absorbed all the dragon veins. It would be bad if it caused a big riot, so he didn't want to cause trouble for Namikaze Menma.

Moreover, Xia Li returned to his own world with the missing energy. There was another dragon vein there with extra energy for him to absorb. Not only that, Xia Li felt that he might change the place of cultivation to the dragon vein in the future.

In this way, the energy he needed to consume to cultivate the Sage Mode would be completely unlimited, and perhaps a quantitative change would cause a qualitative change.

Xia Li opened his eyes, and then sealed the part of the dragon vein he had unlocked again, and then sat down again. This time it was not for cultivation, but to perceive the mark that he had vaguely perceived before.

After a long time, Xia Li perceived many marks, but most of them were the Flying Thunder God marks in this world, and most of them were concentrated in the location of Konoha.

And this was not what Xia Li wanted. Xia Li was not in a hurry to continue to perceive. Since he could perceive it before, he would definitely be able to succeed now.

Finally, Xia Li vaguely sensed a mark, and then the mark became clearer and clearer.

Until the end, the mark seemed to change in Xia Li's perception.

Under Xia Li's somewhat surprised perception, the appearance of the mark finally changed into a familiar one for Xia Li.

"Moon Elf?"

Xia Li murmured. It turned out that what he sensed was not the Flying Thunder God Mark he left behind, but the Moon Elf?

Xia Li certainly knew that the Moon Elf could indeed be used as his Flying Thunder God Mark, but what Xia Li did not expect was that he did not sense the Flying Thunder God Formation he left in that world, but sensed the Moon Elf.

This shows that the Moon Elf is more powerful than the Flying Thunder God Mark of the Flying Thunder God Formation!

However, Xia Li did not think too much. Since he sensed it, he no longer hesitated. The chakra in his body began to surge. Soon, his figure disappeared in this dragon vein, as if he had never been there.

…………

In the Wet Bone Forest, Xia Li's spirit shadow clone was practicing there at this time. The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the Wet Bone Forest. It was Xia Li's original body.

However, from the moment Xia Li's original body appeared, both Xia Li's original body and spirit shadow clone were directly down.

Because, at that moment, the memories between the main soul and the secondary soul began to blend. The original body had the memory of the spirit shadow clone's practice, and the spirit shadow clone was also savoring the memory brought by the original body's return.

Soon, Xia Li's original body and spirit shadow clone opened their eyes and smiled at each other. At this time, everything they had was synchronized again.

Then, the spirit shadow clone disappeared in the Wet Bone Forest. Since the original body was back, the cultivation was left to the original body. He needed to return to Konoha to deal with recent affairs.

After all, he, the Hokage, could not disappear for too long. If it was just Nara Shikaku complaining, it would be fine. The most troublesome thing was that those consultants would probably have opinions.

The key was that Xia Li was not right...

After the spirit transformed into a shadow clone and left, Xia Li teased the moon elf who had just jumped on his shoulder. Xia Li didn't think much about the identity of the moon elf.

Xia Li also knew that the spiritual shadow clone could vaguely perceive himself in different time and space with the help of the moon elf, and that he could also perceive the moon elf after synchronizing time and space.

Yes, if Xia Li was still in the past, he would not be able to sense the moon elves. He could only sense the moon elves after returning to the future through the dragon vein.

This can show that Xia Li's perception is not enough to perceive another world across time and space without the bonus of the moon elf.

However, the deputy soul couldn't figure out what the moon elf was, and he actually couldn't figure it out either. He only knew that the moon elf was definitely not simple and should not have been created by him at that time.

However, the moon elves were created through his hands...

At this time, Xia Li held the Moon Elf in her hand, and the Moon Elf tilted her head curiously and looked at Xia Li, her red eyes full of intimacy.

"What else can you do?" Xia Li asked softly.

The Moon Elf seemed to think about this problem for a while. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up, he jumped on Xia Li's shoulder, and then moved Xia Li to where the Flying Thunder God was.

Xia Li paused for a moment. He had never used Flying Thunder God himself, so was it done by the moon elf?

However, this is not surprising. The Moon Elf has brought Nine-Tails out of the seal before, so the range that the Moon Elf can take people to transfer should be anywhere within sight and the place where the Flying Thunder God's mark is.

"It's very powerful." Xia Li touched the Moon Elf. It was not of much use to Xia Li. He could fly the Thunder God himself, so he naturally didn't need the Moon Elf's help.

However, what also works for Xia Li is the ability to move the Mark of the Flying Thunder God within sight, but unfortunately this ability requires a complete tacit understanding between him and the Moon Elf.

Xia Li didn't dare to let the moon elf use this ability easily. What if he didn't react?

If used occasionally, it might have miraculous effects. Xia Li also thought that if there was no need to throw the Flying Thunder God Kunai, then his opponent would not even be able to predict when he would use the Flying Thunder God.

After all, the biggest flaw of Flying Thunder God is the Flying Thunder God's mark. Not only can it be destroyed, but it can also tell the opponent where he used Flying Thunder God to transfer.

Of course, even if most people knew it, they wouldn't be able to react. If it could be cracked so easily, it wouldn't be the ninjutsu that the Fourth Hokage used to dominate the battlefield.

But the question is, what opponent did the Fourth Hokage face on the battlefield, and what opponent did he face in the fourth battle?

However, Xia Li looked at the Moon Elf. Although Xia Li didn't know where the Moon Elf came from, there was no doubt that the Moon Elf had a great connection with the Flying Thunder God.

Therefore, if the Moon Elf can move within the field of vision, can he also move within the field of vision without relying on the Flying Thunder God Kunai?

If it can be done, then it will usher in a transformation and a qualitative leap.

However, now is not the time to study this, nor is it the time to practice dragon veins in this world as I thought before.

Because he had to fully digest this rare harvest.

The Linghua Shadow Clone basically did not really practice when he was in the different space this time. He has been realizing the power of time and space. In fact, the Linghua Shadow Clone also encountered a bottleneck in his understanding.

No matter how much he sensed it, he never personally felt the changes in the power of space, so he was unable to break through.

The Linghua Shadow Clone has not experienced it personally, but Xia Li has experienced it personally, and he has gone back and forth twice, so the problems encountered by the Linghua Shadow Clone can be said to be solved directly after the return of Xia Li himself.

And this gain must be turned into strength immediately.

Xia Li actually had a vague idea about the next path, an idea that he had always wanted to explore but had never succeeded.

The combination of wind escape and space leads to a completely different path from the wind escape spiral shuriken, a path of ultimate cutting.

Xia Li was in good condition at the moment, and without any hesitation, she couldn't wait to start practicing.

…………

Konoha, in the Hokage's office.

Nara Shikaku and Nara Shikamaru were currently dealing with official duties with their scalp numb.

After all, Nara Shikamaru is not like Nara Shikaku who can prepare everything now, and even if Nara Shikaku has arrangements with Xia Li, it is impossible for him to really use the power of Hokage as unscrupulously as Xia Li.

Therefore, Xia Li's departure made Nara and his son busy from morning to night, from front to back.

"It's true Xia Li, just throw away such a big stall..." Nara Shikamaru was so tired that he lay on the table and complained.

"Stop complaining. Being so tired is also caused by your lack of ability." Nara Shikaku was sitting in the Hokage's seat and rubbed his forehead. He also had a headache.

There were some things that he still couldn't make decisions alone. He had to wait until Xia Li came back before deciding. This was the most troublesome. The key was that some things were urgent, so he needed to have a meeting with the consultant to discuss.

In the past, when Xia Li was here, he would say whatever he said. As long as it was beneficial to Konoha, even if those consultants had different ideas, they would not say much, but Nara Shikaku could not do this.

It takes a lot of time to hold meetings to confirm the final plan, which also slows down their efficiency in handling official business.

After hearing what Nara Shikaku said, Nara Shikamaru had no way to refute anything. After all, when Xia Li didn't leave, he knew that although his father was not relaxed, he was not busy, and he didn't need to work overtime overnight...

So, is he really too bad? Nara Shikamaru is a little skeptical about life.

At this time, Nara Shikaku showed a smile in his eyes. In fact, he was very satisfied with his son's ability. The reason why he said that was just to make Nara Shikamaru guard against arrogance and impatience.

The fundamental reason for the slow handling of affairs now is the problem mentioned above, which cannot be blamed on Nara Shikamaru.

Nara Shikaku thinks that Nara Shikamaru will become a qualified Hokage secretary in the future.

In this regard, Nara Shikaku sincerely hopes that Nara Shikamaru can meet a Hokage like Xia Li. Otherwise, Nara Shikaku looks at the increasing number of documents on the desk. These documents will be enough for Nara Shikamaru and the future Hokage to be busy.

After all, Konoha is developing in a good direction now. The better the development, the more affairs the Hokage needs to deal with. There is nothing we can do about it.

Moreover, with Xia Li's ability, Konoha's development cannot stagnate, so Nara Shikaku thinks that the affairs of the Hokage may double in the future...

By then, it is unknown how busy the Hokage and his secretary will be.

Nara Shikaku smiled. Anyway, he would have retired by then, and it would be Nara Shikamaru who should suffer. Wouldn't it be good for him to learn from the Third Hokage to go fishing and not participate in political events?

At this time, Xia Li suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office.

When Nara Shikamaru saw Xia Li, he was like seeing a savior, his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Xia Li, you finally know to come back!"

"Ahem!" Nara Shikaku also hurriedly got up from the position of Hokage at this time, and then saw Nara Shikamaru like this, and couldn't help coughing twice, asking Nara Shikamaru not to be too presumptuous.

"What happened?" Xia Li was a little surprised when he saw Shikamaru, whose performance was completely different from his memory. Is he the kind of person who would show such an expression?

"Hokage-sama, Shikamaru is fine, he's just too busy." Nara Shikaku replied.

"Oh, did Shikamaru become your secretary when I left?" Xia Li asked.

"Yes."

"Oh, then how about Shikamaru be my secretary later?" Xia Li said with a raised eyebrow.

"Let me go, I still want to relax for a few years." Shikamaru showed his usual dead fish eyes and complained weakly.

Xia Li laughed twice and then sat down at his seat, without forcing Shikamaru to do anything.

"Hokage-sama, these are the more important and urgent documents I have sorted out recently." Nara Shikaku handed a stack of documents to Xia Li.

Xia Li looked at the thickness of the documents, frowned, looked at the sky, and sighed. He probably had to work overtime today.

Then, Xia Li also opened the document and read it. There were not only specific contents on it, but also suggestions from Nara Shikaku.

Soon, Xia Li completed the instructions and made specific arrangements.

At this time, Nara Shikamaru was still in the office. Seeing that Xia Li had completed the arrangements so quickly, he was a little dumbfounded and asked, "Don't you need to discuss these with the consultants?"

"Why should I discuss them with them?" Xia Li looked at Shikamaru a little strangely.

Suddenly, Shikamaru opened his eyes wide, and then looked at Nara Shikaku a little accusingly. It turned out that the culprit for such slow efficiency was here.

Nara Shikaku also blushed at this time, coughed twice and didn't say anything.

"But these still need to be notified to them, Shikamaru, you are still here, you take these to notify those consultants, remember to come back quickly, there are still many things waiting to be dealt with." Xia Li handed the documents to Shikamaru.

"Okay." Shikamaru took the file subconsciously, and then froze. It stands to reason that after Xia Li came back, his position as secretary would automatically be gone. Why did he subconsciously agree again...

However, Shikamaru looked at Xia Li and Nara Shikaku who had started working, and didn't say much. He also showed admiration in his eyes and left with the file.

This time, it was a notification rather than a discussion. Shikamaru had never fought such a rich battle in the past few days. He must have a good time in front of those guys!

After being busy for most of the day, the files on the Hokage's desk slowly came to an end. The remaining files were only some not-too-important files, and there was no rush to approve them.

Shikamaru finally understood why Nara Shikaku was able to get off work on time before. It turned out that the real efficiency was so high, although he also helped in this.

But there were not so many files in the past. Today, so many files were left by him and his father...

And Xia Li actually understood that Nara Shikaku's power as the temporary Hokage could not be as great as his, so he did not blame them at all. Being able to do this can already reflect the high ability of the Nara father and son.

At this time, Xia Li stretched and asked, "Is there the mission report about the Dragon Vein mission?"

"Here." Nara Shikaku quickly handed Xia Li a file and said, "The centipede of the Sand Village seems to have disappeared in the dragon vein, so this mission may have failed."

"Hibizu is dead." Xia Li said directly, and then looked at the mission report, which indeed contained Naruto's experience problems, and Kakashi also saw Naruto's problems.

Nara Shikaku also nodded. Although he didn't know how Xia Li learned about it, he believed what Xia Li said.

"Shikamaru, go to the Intelligence Department and ask them to notify Suna Ninja about this matter. After notifying you, you can get off work." Xia Li said at this time.

"Okay." Shikamaru's eyes lit up, and then he ran away. It can be expected that after today, Shikamaru will probably not come to the Hokage's office again.

"Have you seen the problems with Naruto?" Xia Li asked at this time.

Nara Shikaku nodded. This is indeed a big problem. Although it can be broken through ten chapters at once, it is also a good thing if it can be understood in advance.

"Select some of the recent B-level tasks and A-level tasks for Naruto to complete." Xia Li said.

"Yes." This was actually Nara Shikaku's idea. Unfortunately, as the acting Hokage, he couldn't let the jinchūriki of the village go out to do tasks. Those old guys didn't agree.

"In addition, the restriction is that Naruto cannot use the power of the Nine Tails except when encountering dangerous situations, and Kakashi is arranged to watch Naruto." Xia Li thought for a while and then said, "In addition, let Hinata Hina Tian and Shizune should follow."

Nara Shikaku frowned at this time and said, "Kakashi and Hinata are easy to arrange, but Shizune is the person next to Tsunade-sama..."

"It's okay, Teacher Tsunade will agree." Xia Li said with a smile.

"Okay." Now that Xia Li had said so, Nara Shikaku stopped asking any more questions. He thought for a while, and he had actually heard Shikamaru talk about the relationship between Naruto and Hinata Hinata.

So Nara Shikaku can probably understand the reason why Xia Li asked Hinata Hinata to follow. As for Shizune...

Nara Shikaku slowly understood and shook his head with a smile. That's it. I didn't expect that the two old bachelors in Konoha would finally be single.

But speaking of old bachelors, the oldest old bachelor is of course the Sannin, but it seems that those two are also showing signs of being single...

Nara Shikaku nodded and sighed, everything is developing in a good direction.
