Chapter 498： Monk (Part 1)

After half a year of hard training in the desert, although the cross-country journey could not completely swallow up the original strength of the Erwei Brigade, he was still making progress. There were three main aspects of progress.

The first point is the mastery of the secret art of escape.

Half a year ago, Cross Country relied on the battle with the Erwei Brigade to complete the third stage of condensation and the fourth stage of condensation of the Yin Escape Brand. However, due to lack of time and being injured all the time, Cross Country failed to discover the ability to condense the third and fourth stages of the Yin Escape Brand. In the half year in the desert, there was enough time for cross-country. If the Yin Escape Brand's third-stage condensation ability and fourth-stage condensation ability had not been discovered, then half a year of cross-country time would have been wasted.

First of all, let’s talk about the three-stage condensation ability of Yin Escape Brand.

Speaking of which, for the ability to condense the Yin Escape brand in the third stage of cross-country, I need to thank Erwei Matabuki more.

Because when Off-Road explored the three-stage condensation ability of the Yin Escape Brand, he suddenly discovered that his three-stage condensation ability of the Yin Escape Brand was the fire of the netherworld!

That was what he gained from the confrontation with the two-tailed jinchuuriki Yukijin. The ability to condense the three stages of cross-country Yin Escape Brand is a weakened version of the Nether Fire.

The real Nether Fire is dark blue. If Erwei Mataita uses it personally, it also contains a strange black aura, which is a breath that can burn spiritual energy. As for the two-tailed jinchūriki Yukito, because he did not follow the eight-tailed ox-demon chuuriki Kirabi like in the original plot, the nether fire he mastered is slightly weaker, and it only has the ability to damage the spirit. It's just an energy ability. It's not as scary as the Nether Fire controlled by Erwei Mataita. The color is light blue.

The cross-country Yin Escape brand is condensed in three stages, and the netherworld fire it masters is light blue.

Perhaps, the light blue Nether Fire is in Erwei again. From the perspective of the existence that controls the real Nether Fire, it is completely a weak flame. But in cross-country, it is an improvement to be able to initially master the Nether Fire, not to mention that cross-country has the possibility of swallowing Erwei Youlv's original ability. If he can swallow Erwei Youlv's original ability, his Nether Fire will be Is it possible to evolve again?

Secondly, let’s talk about the condensed ability of the four stages of Yin Escape Brand.

The four stages of the Yin Escape Brand's condensation, cross-country, rely on the power of the Uzumaki clan's Yin Escape inheritance brand to successfully complete the condensation. It is also because of this that the four-stage condensed ability of Cross Country's Yin Escape Brand is biased towards assisting abilities. For example, cross-country can use mental communication without using the shadow communication technique, and the ability to eavesdrop on other people's mental communication, as well as the ability to read other people's memories, are the abilities brought about by the condensation of the four stages of cross-country's Yin Escape brand.

Finally, let’s summarize the off-road Yin Escape Brand ability.

It is the form of the Yin Escape Brand itself. The first ability is to use the secret technique of Shadow Escape by using spiritual energy. The "Beiming" that can swallow other people's spiritual energy is the second ability. The "Bei Ming" that can purify other people's mixed spiritual energy and purify spiritual energy is "No form" is the third ability, and the light blue netherworld fire is the fourth ability. It can use spiritual energy to communicate spiritually "without distance", peek into other people's spiritual communication and memory abilities, and has the ability to cross-country named "peeping". It’s the fifth ability.

Second point, in addition to exploring all the mysteries of the Yin Escape Brand, in addition to the training in the Yin Escape Secret Technique, cross-country training has already begun in the Yang Escape Secret Technique.

Although, he cannot use chakra and relies on the sharp spear flow to temper his body. However, relying on the secret techniques used by the God of Wind and Thunder to train the body, cross-country physical fitness has still improved in half a year of hard training. However, the inability to use chakra still limits the practice of cross-country, so just relying on some self-explored physical exercise methods, the improvement of cross-country physical fitness is very limited. If the physical fitness of cross-country before was 100 points. .

After half a year of hard training, my cross-country physical fitness has only increased by 10 points at most, which is not slow.

The third point, what is the progress of cross-country in half a year of hard training?

The answer is "wind"!

After liberating the power of "Tianjealousy", Cross Country faintly understood the mystery of "wind".

Now in the desert, even if chakra cannot be used, off-roaders can rely on the understanding brought about by liberating the power of "Jealousy" to faintly capture the breath of "wind", using alternative methods, methods that do not use chakra , cast the Fourth Hokage's secret technique of perception, which is the perception of wind.

So, even if the cross-country had not opened Kagura's eyes before, after understanding the mystery of "wind", the cross-country could still sense that someone had stepped into his territory without using chakra.

followed by.

As Cross Country's gaze moved away, the figure that suddenly appeared in the desert was reflected in Cross Country's sight.

Looking away, what do you see at the first glance?

It’s a monk!

He is a monk with an old face walking barefoot in the desert!

The monk's face looks very rough and full of wrinkles. Just by looking at it, he is about eighty or ninety years old. Moreover, his eyebrows were very long, and the front half was still black, but the back half was already white. This showed that Cross Country's guess was not wrong at all. The monk who appeared in front of him was indeed an old monk.

But, is it possible for an ordinary, old monk to wander in the boundless desert?

Of course it’s impossible!

 Even if you go off-road, it is because you have lost the use of chakra, so it is difficult to move in the desert. But don't forget that Cross Country is a shadow-level expert in the ninja world. Even if he is injured, he almost lost his life in the desert. The monk who looks ordinary and old, but is actually walking in the desert without even a trace of wind and frost. How can he be an ordinary person?

“It’s weird!”

"This guy doesn't have the aura of a strong man at all. Even when I use Kagura's Heart Eye, I can't detect the aura of chakra hidden in him. Could it be that he is really not a ninja?"

"How can it be?"

"How can he walk in the desert without training as a ninja? Hmm."

"The place I am now should be within the Kingdom of Wind. Does this mean that this guy may be from Suna Ninja Village? However, in the original plot, except for the old woman Chiyo and the old man Ebizo, there seems to be only one person in Suna Ninja Village. Are there no other strong men? Wait, this guy gives me a vaguely familiar aura, could it be..."

Huttered to himself, Cross Country vaguely guessed the monk's identity.

However, without giving Cross Country any definite time, the monk suddenly took a step under the guard of Cross Country.

One step to the end of the world, one step to the edge!

Just taking one step, the monk actually strolled directly in front of the cross-country. Immediately, he slowly opened his eyes, and the monk's words made him shrink slightly!

“Young man, you have an aura that I am familiar with.”

“Are you a Jinchūriki from the ninja world who just completed the seal?”
