Chapter 87 Talent Has No Reason
Chapter 87 Talent Has No Reason
Training Ground No. 23 in Konoha Village.
This place has become deserted due to the war.
This actually made things easier for Mo Jingxian's team, saving them from unnecessary trouble caused by having too many people around.
Mo Jingxian and Zhishui stood facing each other, forming a seal of opposition.
Looking back, it was here that he and Minato had their first sparring session.
This is also where his life began to change.
After another year of wandering, he returned here once again.
This time, however, he stood in the same position as Minato, supporting the newcomer as a senior.
Life's circumstances are unpredictable; there's always an invisible thread pulling people back to where they started.
I'm feeling a bit emotional right now. Maybe it's because I've experienced so much life and death this past year, so I'm bound to have a lot of thoughts.
He brought his thoughts back to the present: "Shisui, are you ready?"
Xiao Shishui was a little nervous and nodded mechanically.
"Don't be nervous, just pretend..."
Before he could finish speaking, the figure had already faded away, and Mo Jingxian shamelessly chose to launch a sneak attack.
Yes, that's how well-intentioned they were. The first lesson was about the wickedness of the human heart!
When he reappeared, he was already behind Zhishui.
Shisui was still waiting for him to continue when he suddenly felt a kick in the back.
Mo Jingxian controlled her strength very well, so that she wouldn't hurt Zhishui, but it would still hurt for a while.
However, he had no intention of letting Shisui off the hook.
Young people still need to train.
The older generation said it well: sweat more in peacetime, bleed less in wartime.
Mo Jingxian found a plausible reason for herself.
He felt no guilt whatsoever when he beat up kids; his mind was completely at ease.
Kakashi, watching from the sidelines, was disgusted by Mo Jingxian's shamelessness. He curled his lip, ashamed to be associated with this bastard.
Ayako was all smiles; she liked the relaxed atmosphere.
In the arena, Mo Jingxian moved so fast that she left afterimages, like a wisp of smoke flitting left and right.
Having suffered a setback in the first attack, Zhi Shui immediately focused his attention on dealing with Mo Jingxian.
When he gets serious, Shisui is like a completely different person.
The shyness on his face disappeared, and he entered a state of solemnity, even his eyes became aggressive.
"Whoosh!" The still water dispersed.
The water clones successfully deceived Mo Jingxian, and Zhishui immediately created three more water clones.
The four still water spirits surrounded Mo Jingxian, and in the next instant, they launched an attack simultaneously.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
Mo Jingxian blocked the short knife with her icy hand, and stabbed at Zhishui's chest with her other hand.
Three fierce gusts of wind howled around me, attacking from the left, right, and rear respectively.
Ignoring the other attacks, he swiftly plunged his fingers into Shisui's chest.
With a "splash," the still water dispersed before Mo Jingxian's eyes.
His expression suddenly hardened, and the playful look on his face vanished.
Mo Jingxian was certain that the still water from before was the original body, but now it had become a water clone.
To be honest, he didn't figure out how Shisui managed to do it.
That's why it's surprising; Shisui's talent is no joke.
When this scene unfolded, Kakashi instinctively took a step forward.
Ayako Hinata activated her Byakugan, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the remaining three Shisui-ma.
Some people have an innate, keen sense of combat.
The three attacks, executed with perfect coordination and unparalleled rhythm, were seamlessly linked.
After a series of clanging sounds, Mo Jingxian's legs and arms were completely covered in ice.
His speed increased again, reaching as much as 60% of his peak performance.
With a few quick movements, his figure became so fast that it blurred people's vision.
In less than a breath, all the water-repelling clones of the still water were eliminated.
Shisui instantly activated his Sharingan with two tomoe, dodging the attack and retreating a few steps in the blink of an eye.
Mo Jingxian did not pursue, but stood there and looked at Zhishui for a few moments.
"Is this the technique you mentioned?"
"Yes, Brother Xian."
"Truly remarkable talent." Mo Jingxian didn't hold back her praise, then changed the subject:
"Now, I'm going to get serious. Shisui-kun, please show me your true skills."
His tone seemed joking, but he wasn't joking at all.
What Shisui brought him... cannot be described as shocking. This little guy is simply a prodigy.
Judging from his performance just now, six-year-old Shisui has already reached Chunin level.
Even among Chunin, he was among the very top-tier group.
With such terrifying talent, it's no wonder the Hokage values him so highly.
Frost covered her entire body as Mo Jingxian tried to test Zhi Shui's true skill.
He wanted to see where this little guy's limits were.
The duel between the two was captured by Bai's eyes, and every brilliant moment of offense and defense was captured.
Ayako Hinata put herself in Mo Jingxian's shoes and realized that she couldn't easily defeat Shisui with her true strength.
Thinking about this, I couldn't help but gasp.
"Kakashi."
"What?"
"Are you confident you can beat Shisui in a short time?"
Kakashi thought for a moment: "It's pointless."
He said, "Shisui is only six years old. With his talent, he will definitely reach the level of a Jonin in two or three years. In the future..."
The rest of the words were left unsaid, nor needed to be, but Ayako understood what Kakashi meant.
The two could not see the upper limit of Shisui's abilities; he had already surpassed the realm of genius.
"Is the Uchiha clan really that powerful? I see the shadow of a sage in him," Ayako murmured to herself.
Kakashi remained silent; his silence signified his agreement.
Indeed, he had only ever seen such limitless talent in Mo Jingxian.
"The Phoenix Fire Technique!"
Six fiery crows shot out from the still water spout, tracing graceful arcs as they attacked Mo Jingxian.
This technique was also improved by Zhishui.
The fire crow passed through the figure, and the shadow began to fade.
A ribbon of water sliced through the neck of the still water, and the water flowed out on the spot.
The real Shisui appeared to his side and behind, and suddenly swung his shuriken.
The rapidly spinning shuriken pierced through the fire crow, the timing was impeccable.
Shisui's sense of rhythm seems innate; he can unintentionally unleash attacks that leave people in awe.
The flaming shuriken still struck the shadow.
Mo Jingxian didn't use a single ninjutsu; she dodged all the attacks solely by relying on her speed.
A figure flashed in front of Zhishui, feigning a chop to the neck, while the tail behind him shot up like a venomous snake.
The attack was quite covert.
Taking advantage of the moment when Shisui was distracted by the hand chop, the tail circled around to his blind spot and launched a fatal sneak attack.
Two jet-black tomoe spun rapidly from his eyes.
The moment their eyes met, Shisui launched an illusion attack.
At the same time, the steel wire binding the five fingers suddenly tightened.
The sword that Mo Jingxian had left behind flew back again.
The shuriken clashed a few times in the air, instantly blocking all his escape routes.
As the battle progressed to this point, Shisui's attack strategy became clear.
Using water to disguise himself, he deceived Mo Jingxian, luring him into a trap.
He instantly flashed to the side and unleashed a second attack with Phoenix Flame.
Finally, he used his Water Instant to circle behind him, then used his shuriken to block the attack path, leaving only one passage.
Even Mo Jingxian's reaction was taken into account by Zhishui.
The final trump card was illusion combined with wire manipulation, which immediately plunged Mo Jingxian into a pre-prepared deadly trap.
"Clap clap clap..."
Kakashi and Ayako Hyuga, standing on the periphery, applauded enthusiastically.
Mo Jingxian placed his palm on the back of Shisui's head and sincerely praised, "His combat talent is also unparalleled in the ninja world."
As he spoke, he withdrew his hand, the look of amazement still lingering in his eyes.
"Brother Xian is still the best. His speed alone left me helpless." Zhi Shui scratched his head sheepishly.
"I said that's enough for you two." Ayako and Kakashi walked over:
"Why are they all praising each other like this? What, are they trying to make life impossible for ordinary people like us?"
The others were already used to Ayako frequently mimicking Mo Jingxian's tone of voice.
After a knowing smile, the group of friends became lively again.
The weather in April was neither too hot nor too cold. The four of them sat on the ground and began to review and analyze the battle they had just fought.
Little Zhuge Kakashi is back online, offering his commentary on the highlights of the previous segment.
During this time, he also expanded his ideas, such as hiding explosive tags in clones to use as a sneak attack at crucial moments.
blah blah blah, I said a lot...
"As expected of the Chrysanthemum Maniac," Mo Jingxian teased, which earned her a furious attack from Kakashi.
After the laughter subsided, Mo Jingxian brought up the serious matter.
"You have all seen Zhi Shui's talent," he said.
"I'm going to give all the runes to Zhishui; his development speed far surpasses the rest of us."
But that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying; we still need to conduct research.
What I mean is, we can divide the runes into sections and study them in depth in areas that interest us, which would greatly improve efficiency.
"I have no objection." Ayako nodded.
"But you can't give me too much, I'm not very smart."
Mo Jingxian chuckled: "Absolutely, I'll keep your pig brain for other uses."
No wonder he had such a sharp tongue; he deserved to be beaten.
Kakashi readily agreed and added that the four of them should get together whenever they have time to share their experiences and improve together.
His proposal was unanimously approved, and Zhishui explained the new technique to the three of them in detail.
The main function of the technique is to affect the opponent's vision and hearing while in motion, causing the enemy to unconsciously ignore the main body during combat.
Combined with the Instantaneous Movement Technique and the Clone Technique, it's difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, leaving the observer constantly on the defensive.
This technique involves nine basic runes, and there are also variables in their combination, making it quite complex.
I have no idea how Shisui came up with that idea.
Mo Jingxian tried it out, and it would take him some time to fully learn it, even if he used elemental logic.
Using chakra energy instead would take much longer.
As for superposition... let's not consider it for now, it's too far off.
It seems I had some foresight; leaving professional matters to professionals is the right thing to do.
The rest is simple.
All four of them had their own things to do.
Ayako gathers the unique chakra runes of the Hyuga clan to cultivate her coordination with Agan.
Kakashi attempted to break through the barrier of four layers of runes, while Shisui was in charge of researching and developing rune techniques.
Mo Jingxian has now completed 70% of her elemental transformation, as well as her breathing techniques and elemental comprehension...
There was so much to do, but thankfully Shisui helped share some of the workload.
Mo Jingxian reached into her ninja bag and touched the small bottle lying inside.
It contains Hashirama cells that were exchanged from Orochimaru.
He didn't use it immediately; the preparations were still a bit lacking.
The sealing technique has been basically successfully constructed, but the connection between the three techniques is not yet stable enough.
Mo Jingxian figured that once the spell was stable, the elemental energy would be almost completely converted...
