Chapter 60 Change and Constancy (Seeking continued reading and monthly votes)

The three sat down and chatted for a while about their ideas for the new sealing technique before Kushina Uzumaki went to the kitchen to get busy.

"Xuan Yi, you should know Kakashi very well, right?"

Minato Namikaze asked.

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "I understand it fairly well."

"Is Minato going to become the team leader Jonin?"

Minato Namikaze nodded: "You should have noticed that the situation in the ninja world has become increasingly tense recently, so the Third Hokage assigned Kakashi to me. A new ninja team will be formed after the new students graduate."

Everything seemed to be back on track.

But Genichi Shushita knew very well that things were different now.

"Kakashi is a genius. He's skilled in swordsmanship, lightning release, earth release... and has a keen combat instinct. If you entrust something to him, he can do a great job within his capabilities."

"She's a little arrogant and has a sharp tongue, but she has a kind heart and always thinks of her companions."

Genichi looked at Minato Namikaze and said, "Brother Minato, you must have heard about that matter, right?"

Minato Namikaze nodded: "That incident seems to have been a big blow to him."

Genichi Shushita sighed, "Kakashi feels guilty, thinking that if it weren't for him, Senior Yejuan wouldn't have died in battle."

"Although he was persuaded not to become discouraged and instead worked even harder in his cultivation, he may have become extreme."

"I'm afraid that will trouble you, Brother Minato."

Minato Namikaze nodded, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything should be fine."

hope so.

Genichi Shushita knew very well that there were some things he could hardly change.

After lunch, Genichi Kishita left Minato Namikaze's house.

Yes, Minato Namikaze is now living with Kushina Uzumaki.

It's really enviable.

Unfortunately, Shizune is still growing.

A man came to the riverbank. Under the tree, Xuan Yi stepped to the center of the river, then sat down cross-legged. He first used the "Zai" character technique, then the "Jie" character technique, and finally clasped his hands together and lowered his eyes.

He was trying to develop illusion techniques, specifically water-based illusion techniques.

This was inspired by a previous Hozuki Castle quest that took place on the sea.

For months, he has been trying to refine his idea step by step.

It must be said that developing a new ninjutsu from scratch is indeed extremely difficult.

Because a sudden inspiration or idea is not enough to support a sophisticated and complete technique.

Even a simple theory requires a long period of design and refinement.

However, putting it into practice is another challenge.

However, although this long-term development has not yet yielded any tangible results, it has brought considerable benefits.

For example, Genichi Shushita's understanding of water escape and illusion techniques became increasingly profound.

The application of word techniques also expanded into illusion magic during this process.

The "Soldier's Mantra" extends to enhancing any type of technique.

Previously, he could only use one word technique at a time, but now he can combine word techniques.

For example, when the "Soldier's Word Technique" is used in the "Water Wave Severing" technique, it can increase the speed of the water flow and the speed of casting, which in turn can increase the power and launch speed of the "Water Wave Severing".

The power of the Water Wave Severing Technique largely depends on speed.

Only high-pressure, high-flow-rate water jets possess formidable destructive power.

Only by performing the technique quickly can one spew out more high-pressure, high-speed water jets from the mouth in a very short time.

There's also the Wind Release: Great Breakthrough technique, where increased wind speed enhances the technique's power.

The deeper you delve into the study, the more you will discover the immense power contained within the Nine Syllable Mantra.

Unfortunately, it is too profound and requires a lot of time to explore and study.

Fortunately, Xuan Yi had no shortage of time under the tree.

Of course, what he lacks most is time.

Unless you're mediocre, who would feel like they have too much time to spare?

……

Four p.m.

On the river, Genichi under the tree opened his eyes and turned his head slightly to see Yanagi on the bank.

Yamanaka En laughed and said, "Xuan Yi, your senses are becoming more and more acute."

Genichi Shushita smiled and then asked, "Is there a mission?"

Shan Zhongyan nodded, threw a stone into the river, and said, "Meet at the village entrance at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."

A stone was thrown into the river, splashing water everywhere.

Each drop of water sparkles brilliantly in the air as it is illuminated by the sunlight.

Genichiro was immediately captivated by the sight of the tree sitting on the river.

At that moment, the whole world seemed to slow down.

Under the tree, Genichi saw that each falling water droplet reflected the entire world, including himself, and also Enya on the shore. Splash!
Drops of water splashed up and fell onto the river surface, merging into the water.

Genichi's gaze followed the movement of the tree, and he saw the sun, blue sky and white clouds, himself, and the two banks reflected on the floating river surface.

Yamanaka En looked at Genichiro under the tree, opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, Genichi under the tree smiled and stood up: "Yan, thank you!"

"what?"

Yamanaka Yan was a little confused.

Shuxia Xuanyi smiled and said, "My new technique is almost complete."

"Ok?"

Yamanaka En was taken aback: "Because I threw a stone?"

Genichi smiled and nodded under the tree.

Yamanaka En couldn't help but grit his teeth: "Damn genius!"

"How enviable!"

After saying that, Yamanaka En turned and ran away.

It’s so shocking!
The pressure is too much!
Xuan Yi smiled under the tree, then sat down to continue his cultivation until the sun set before returning home.

At nine o'clock the next day, Genichi Shushita arrived at the village entrance on time, and then the team set off.

This day is January 15th, Konoha Year 45.

After leaving the village, Genichi and his companions headed north, then turned northeast, and crossed the border into the Land of Hot Springs.

The next day, the group arrived at the northeastern border of the Land of Hot Water.

Further north are the Land of the Moon and the Land of the Sun, and then continuing northeast is the Land of Thunder.

"This mission is an intelligence handover, Rank A."

After resting under a large tree, Hatake Sakumo began explaining the mission: "The location is the Land of the Sun. We will split into two groups."

"Group A, Langyi and Yan, you are responsible for the perimeter, monitoring the surrounding area. If any enemies appear, immediately send a signal and retreat to the outer edge of the enemy's territory to provide support."

Uchihachi Hajime and Yamanaka En nodded in unison.

"Group B, Xuan Yi and I."

Sakumo Hatake looked at Genichi under the tree: "Genichi, after you get the intelligence, you are in charge of keeping it safe."

"If anything unexpected happens, retreat with the intelligence first."

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Understood!"

Sakumo Hatake concluded, "We'll spend the night here and enter the Land of the Sun tomorrow morning."

Silent all night.

Around eight o'clock the next morning, Genichi Kinoshita and his three companions crossed the border and entered the Land of the Sun.

The Land of the Sun is located to the east of the Land of the Moon, bordering the sea, and is long and narrow from north to south.

Both the Land of the Moon and the Land of the Sun are within the sphere of influence of the Hidden Cloud Village.

It's safe to assume that the intelligence we're receiving this time will almost certainly come from Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village).

On a mountain no more than 800 or 900 meters high, Xuan Yi and his three companions looked down at a town facing the sea from under a tree.

The intelligence is located within the town.

"Xuanyi, come with me!"

Hatake Sakumo leaped down the mountain, and Genichi under the tree waved to Uchiha Nagato and the other two before following him.

As soon as the two disappeared from sight, Yamanaka En and Uchi Nagahito immediately took action.

The two quickly caught a sea eagle, and then Yamanaka En used the Mind Transfer Technique to control the sea eagle to circle in the air.

This is more useful than conventional sensory ninjutsu, and it has a wider monitoring range.

Uchihachi was responsible for guarding Yamanaka En's side.

These mountains are teeming with wild animals, and we must also be wary of enemy attacks.

Yamanaka En is currently completely powerless to resist.

Meanwhile, Genichi Kinoshita and Sakumo Hatake used transformation techniques to become ordinary people and enter the town.

The two first strolled around the town, changing their appearances several times, before finally entering an inconspicuous general store.

Sakumo Hatake bought a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from the general store, and then left with Genichi Kinoshita.

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and then handed the cigarette and lighter to Genichi Kinoshita.

The two of them strolled out of the town.

"Ok?"

Sakumo Hatake looked up and saw a sea eagle circling overhead, its cry piercing the sky.

Xuan Yi's expression changed slightly under the tree.

"Xuan Yi, take the intelligence and meet up with Lang Yi and the others!"

Sakumo Hatake's cigarette fell to the ground, and his transformation technique was immediately canceled.
