Naruto: Assassinating Minato Namikaze at the Start

Chapter 53 Mysterious Mission

"Young people are so naive and impulsive." Akimichi Hijita looked shaken.

"Do you know how dangerous that was? You can't use your skills recklessly, especially..."

When Mo Jingxian turned her wrist and used her own body to experiment with the new technique, it completely surprised the three of them.

His actions were so sudden that it was too late to stop him.

Fortunately, no catastrophic consequences occurred. I wonder what that kid was thinking at the time.

What were you thinking?

Of course, Mo Jingxian couldn't tell them that the energy she was using wasn't chakra in the traditional sense.

How can one give an evaluation without personally experiencing the power of this technique?

How can it be integrated into one's existing combat system?

It's like holding a powerful weapon, but you don't know where its limits are.

Under normal circumstances, it would be fine; we could experiment slowly and explore gradually.

However, the Ninja World War is currently underway, and clashes with ninjas could occur at any time.

At critical moments, misjudging one's own "skills" can often lead to huge disasters.

Sometimes the consequences are far more serious than misjudging the enemy's strength.

Mo Jingxian certainly didn't want this to happen.

Therefore, using oneself as a test subject becomes a logical step.

There's actually another layer of protection: his control over the elements has visibly increased.

I am confident that I can withdraw this technique before it harms me.

But his teammates didn't know, and their concern was genuine.

He's not a bastard; he can tell right from wrong.

First, apologize to the captain. No matter what you say, your attitude must be absolutely correct.

"I'm sorry." Mo Jingxian stood up and bowed in apology. "It was my fault. I got a little carried away and caused everyone trouble."

His two teammates didn't say anything, but Kakashi looked at him strangely.

Ayako seemed to be a beat slow to react, or perhaps she was used to Mo Jingxian's frequent antics in front of her.

Mo Jingxian's attitude in admitting her mistake was sincere, and Qiu Daochutian couldn't say too much, since the team was still getting to know each other.

"That spell you just used..."

Although it's a bit impolite to ask, I'm still itching to try.

After all, judging from Mo Jingxian's behavior, she didn't seem to intend to hide it from everyone, so she simply asked casually.

"A sealing technique." Mo Jingxian didn't explain in detail, then added, "It's not completely successful yet."

"Oh." Captain Akimichi sat back down. "If there's nothing else, get some rest. I'll start the night watch."

"All right."

The team split up and returned to their respective positions.

Actually, that ninjutsu was already a success, but there are still some hurdles to overcome.

As the name suggests, "Sealing Technique" is a technique used to seal enemies and control chakra or body movement.

The "Water Element Five Elements Seal" that I developed myself has a better control effect on chakra.

In other words, sealing techniques, which are based on elements, inherently have higher authority than chakra.

That's the rule.

The principle behind the technique is also simple.

The five vibrations of the same element exhibit different properties, which are the sealing runes.

The five runes are linked together, mutually restraining and generating each other, forming a stable cycle.

When wedged into the enemy's chakra, it naturally occupies a superior position, influencing the flow of chakra.

The change in rules will naturally cause the opponent to fail to draw chakra, thereby achieving the goal of control.

This is the successful aspect.

On the other hand, the special vibrations of elements are maintained for too short a time, especially in the form of techniques.

It will automatically adjust its frequency until it reaches a consensus and becomes ordinary water element.

Therefore, the final effect will lose its sealing function.

This process lasts about ten seconds.

In other words, Mo Jingxian could not keep the same element at different vibration frequencies.

That's why he just said that the procedure was not yet fully successful.

There are two reasons for this result.

First, his understanding of the elements is too shallow, and his knowledge accumulation is insufficient.

Another... In the space of the ninja world, there is a large amount of free chakra, in the form of particles.

This is something he only realized after releasing the technique.

For this reason, he also overturned one of his previous theories.

It's not that the character's chakra is unable to control free energy, but rather that very few ninjas can do so.

Perhaps this is the threshold for becoming a Kage-level ninja, keeping countless people outside the gate.

This association is not without basis; when others use water-style chakra, it is called water release.

The same ninjutsu, if released by Tobirama Senju, is called Sea Release.

Even so, the amount of free energy used is estimated to be very small, far from reaching the 1:10 ratio of elements.

They have a lot of advantages, but they are a class that shines in the later stages of the game.

Another advantage of this technique is that, unlike traditional sealing techniques, it does not require physical contact with the target to be successfully released.

He can use the secondary burst of ninjutsu to seal elemental seals into the enemy's body through the technique of technique generating technique.

Of course, this is due to the inherent advantage of the element itself; chakra cannot be copied.

After sorting out the techniques in her mind, Mo Jingxian gathered her thoughts and began to recover her strength.

The next few days were uneventful.

The mission to escort the caravan was successfully completed.

The journey took us through three countries, each with its own unique customs, traditions, and natural scenery.

The journey wasn't boring, and I also enjoyed the scenery along the way during my breaks from work.

If future tasks could be this relaxed, that would be great.

The final handover of the mission didn't require these kids to worry about; Captain Akimichi handled everything by himself.

Yu-no-Kuni (Hot Land) is an open-air natural bathing area.

The water temperature of 40 to 50 degrees Celsius is just right, and the underground hot spring water keeps gushing up from the outlet.

Mo Jingxian had a hot towel on her forehead and immersed herself in the pool from the neck down.

"Ah~ Oh~"

How wonderful! The best hot springs in the world are in Tangguo, and it truly lives up to its reputation.

The hot spring pool is about one meter deep, and the bottom is lined with pebbles all the way to the edge of the pool.

It was just big enough for an adult to sit down, and when Mo Jingxian sat down, she had to use her palms to support herself.

But that doesn't stop you from enjoying yourself.

Captain Akimichi knows how to enjoy life; as soon as the mission was over, he led his team over to enjoy themselves.

No doubt about it, I'll protect Captain Akimichi from now on.

Kakashi sat on the other side of the hot spring, watching Mo Jingxian's "sha" grotesque appearance, his brows furrowing unconsciously.

After a few days of getting to know each other, he didn't have a very good impression of the other party.

He never fought during missions, preferred pleasure, and lacked any of the qualities a ninja should possess.

Aside from demonstrating his sealing technique a few days ago, he hadn't discovered any other talents in Mo Jingxian.

Moreover, he always hangs around Ayako when he has nothing to do, and his mind is not on the mission at all.

This was the thing he couldn't accept the most; as a ninja, anyone who couldn't complete a mission was a piece of trash.

Kakashi hid half of his face in his mask, but even so, you could tell his face was taut.

His muscles never relaxed, as if he were ready to deal with an enemy's sneak attack at any moment.

"Aren't you tired of keeping this up?" Mo Jingxian glanced at Kakashi. "Work isn't everything in life."

"None of your business!"

Kakashi turned his head to the side, out of sight, out of mind.

"Hey!"

Mo Jingxian shook her head, not taking it to heart.

Over two lifetimes, he's had countless people who criticized him. If he remembered every single one of their words, wouldn't he be incredibly pathetic?

He can't even relax while soaking in a hot spring; I wonder who he's wary of.

However, it's not without its suspicious aspects...

For example: the big frog in the grass not far from the two of them.

In fact, Mo Jingxian had already discovered that this guy had followed her all the way here since she left the Land of Fire.

At first I didn't pay attention, but if I kept following it, it was obvious that there was a problem.

Toads don't have the aura of chakra, so they are often overlooked unintentionally.

However, he noticed that there was a faint, subtle energy emanating from its body.

This energy is somewhat similar to the elements within his body.

Connecting these clues, the answer isn't hard to guess.

One of the three sacred sites in the Naruto world.

Mt. Miaomu.

But Mo Jingxian didn't understand why it was following her.

However, since no hostility has been detected so far, we'll just let them be.

These monsters are always talking nonsense, believing in so-called prophecies, and searching the world for the child of prophecy.

As long as it doesn't affect you, it's best for everyone to live in peace.

After enjoying himself, Captain Akimichi did not rush back, but stayed in the Land of Hot Springs for two more days.

Morning of the third day.

The group set off again, not to return to Konoha, but to head towards the Land of Frost.

The team leader did not announce the mission or destination, and the three team members wisely refrained from asking any questions.

The group traveled silently.

I knew the mission wouldn't be that simple.

Silently complaining to himself, Mo Jingxian focused most of his attention on the "Corpse Demon Seal".

This technique has been largely analyzed, and the logic behind the runes' operation is not complicated.

I estimate that he should be able to master it in about half a month.

However, he discovered an interesting phenomenon in the analysis.

Unlike other sealing techniques, the core of this "technique" is... establishing communication with the Grim Reaper.

This "Grim Reaper" is not that "Grim Reaper"; it is a set of rules.

Mo Jingxian guessed that it was a fundamental rule that had always existed in this world, but for some reason it had been weakened to this extent.

He couldn't help but think of Hozuki Castle, where a similar rule was sealed within the Box of Elysium in its possession.

They call it "Awakening".

Although they have different names, they operate with very similar logic.

They all bypassed the involvement of energy, changing the existing world rules through direct intervention.

Mo Jingxian's thoughts had wandered a bit, but she pulled them back to the "technique" itself.

Communication requires the exchange of information, and written language is the best medium.

The runes used in this technique are quite interesting...

The farming squad entered the Land of Frost without stopping, disguised themselves along the way, and immediately rushed towards the border of the Land of Lightning.

Once they arrived at this place, the captain no longer concealed anything.

This escort mission was just a pretext; the real purpose was to reach the Land of Hot Springs to make contact with a Konoha spy.

According to information obtained through spies, the final destination is located somewhere in the Land of Lightning.

This segmented information transmission ensures secrecy and also proves that the task will not be easy.

Missions involving the five great nations are at least rank B, and you must be prepared to fight the Cloud Ninja at any time.

The squad moved quickly, and the previous relaxed atmosphere disappeared, replaced by solemnity.

The entire day was spent traveling, and even Mo Jingxian lost the mood to appreciate the scenery.

As night fell, the team finally reached the border.
