Chapter 117: Heading to the Land of Grass

Walking out the gate of the room, behind Uchiha Feiyu, a pair of enormous chakra wings suddenly sprouted, and he soared into the sky, arriving above the cliffs of Sunagakure.

Sunagakure itself is located within a canyon landscape, which was to prevent the onslaught of intense sandstorms from the Land of Wind; however, with the First Hokage—who was brought back by Reanimation—continuously planting trees and creating forests, the oasis of Sunagakure has constantly expanded, and at this moment, it is almost no longer threatened by any sandstorms.

The hillside above the canyon is also covered in lush green grass and shaded by trees, though there is one area where the grass and trees were cleared away to create a massive training ground.

In the training ground at this moment, two female ninjas were already conducting training, and Uchiha Feiyu knew their identities almost without needing to ask.

"Xia Rixing, Karura, you two arrived quite early!"

The training ground on the hillside can only be reached by passing the cliffs on both sides of Sunagakure; although the area is quite large, ordinary ninjas are unwilling to climb directly up the sheer cliffs just for a larger training ground.

That is no longer Sage Mode, but the realm of those animal Immortals; Uchiha Feiyu would have to be insane to spread such a thing around casually.

Only someone with Uchiha Feiyu's deep foundation, having pushed both Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation to an extremely high level, could successfully practice the Kongque Mysterious Method without affecting other ninjutsu.

It is a pity that she herself never received a very good education, which led to her having almost no strength, eventually falling into the Grass Ninja Village, becoming nothing more than a blood bag, and being bitten to death alive.

Upon hearing the report from the two female Anbu ninjas, a look of realization appeared on Uchiha Feiyu's face, and he nodded slightly:

Karura had long since been Uchiha Feiyu's Cauldron, while Xia Rixing was a gift that Karura brought to Uchiha Feiyu while she was executing a mission in Star Ninja Village and took away the Star Ninja Village's secret treasure, the "Star."

It can be said that even the pure Kongque Mysterious Method has the possibility of reaching Shadow-level if practiced to the limit, but this powerful Secret Technique is not without its flaws.

However, Uchiha Feiyu can easily handle the radiation released by the Star, relying on the Great Dao Treasure Bottle from the Swallowing Heaven Demonic Art.

If one is alone in this country, unless it is the type of guy who looks like they are not to be trifled with, or a ninja from another country, it is truly possible to be attacked by these Grass Ninja at any time and place.

Uchiha Feiyu estimates that he could not manage to improve these Secret Techniques even in another 800 years, but degrading these Secret Techniques and reducing the difficulty of cultivation is a very easy matter.

The facts are indeed so; Xia Rixing not only has no lack of talent but also maintains her maidenhood, which indeed allowed Uchiha Feiyu to progress a bit faster.

"Karura, you can also take a look, and when the time comes, hand it over to Pakura to practice as well... I estimate that the only ones in Sunagakure who can practice this Secret Technique to mastery are the three of you."

Of course, there is one more point... Uchiha Feiyu feels it is time to go and experiment with these Secret Techniques he has learned.

And because they only know how to copy the ninjutsu of other ninja villages, the Great Ninja Villages do not worry that any genius will truly appear in the Grass Ninja Village to threaten their status, because even if a genius were to appear in the Grass Ninja Village, the foundation of the Grass Ninja Village could hardly support them in reaching the Shadow-level.

To be honest, Uchiha Feiyu's estimation of the lower limits of ninja villages and ninjas was already very low, yet the performance of the Grass Ninja Village ninjas still broke through his predicted bottom line; at the very least, ninjas from those Great Ninja Villages do not resort to direct robbery.

"Understood, you may go now!"

It is not improving them to be stronger, but improving them to be weaker, relying on this method to lower the difficulty of cultivation.

"By that time, your strength will continue to advance by leaps and bounds, truly stepping into the very peak of Shadow-level Ninja."

Uchiha Feiyu pulled a Scroll from his bosom and handed it to Xia Rixing; this was precisely the Secret Technique he had already organized.

Once one is accustomed to the chakra Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation of the Kongque Mysterious Method, it becomes incomparably difficult to practice other ninjutsu, and at most, one can only practice ordinary C-Rank Ninjutsu.

Moreover, while sweeping across the entire Ninja World directly can indeed yield a windfall, if you pull up the roots, it will not be easy to have a long-term supply in the future.

"No, I can practice it; I have already finished practicing everything during this period, and I cannot digest the rest in a short time."

In Sunagakure, apart from Xia Rixing, only Uchiha Feiyu has mastered the Kongque Mysterious Method; other ninjas have not practiced it.

And if one cannot practice the Secret Technique to mastery, this thing can only be used when practicing the Kongque Mysterious Method; therefore, apart from some ninjas who want to practice the Kongque Mysterious Method, it is purely a waste of time for other ninjas.

"That's great! Lord Feiyu, please teach me this secret method!"

Because they are wall-grasses with no integrity, although the Great Ninja Villages do not trust them, they do not worry about them defecting to other ninja villages when they are strong, and as for when they are weak, they do not care about the Grass Ninja at all.

Only ninjas with flight capabilities can easily come here, and as for the current Sand Ninja, the only ones who can develop flight capabilities to fly up to cliffs over a hundred meters high are Xia Rixing's Kongque Mysterious Method and Karura's Magnet Release.

"If you want to keep getting stronger, if you want to transcend this world, you must have a long-term perspective... even for the Demonic Path, one must wait for the crop to grow before harvesting!"

The current Uchiha Feiyu feels he already possesses the strength to sweep across a Great Ninja Village, though he is not yet certain if he can deal with the entire Ninja World.

Although it sounds shameful, by relying on the two tricks of being a wall-grass and copying, the Grass Ninja Village has indeed developed, and even in these years of development, it has surpassed the Waterfall Ninja Village and Rain Ninja, faintly showing the posture of a leader among second-tier ninja villages.

Furthermore, Uchiha Feiyu does not want ordinary ninjas to practice this kind of Secret Technique; the Natural Energy refined through the Great Dao Treasure Bottle is extremely gentle, which can easily allow people to master Sage Mode, and can also serve to improve the essence of life, achieving the effect of a human becoming an Immortal.

"Lord Feiyu!"

As a small country sandwiched between several great powers, the Grass Country's policy of action is much the same as its name, which can be called the wall-grass among wall-grasses.

Rather than letting this person be a blood bag, it would be better to just drag her back to Sunagakure and make her a jinchuriki; in any case, the current Sunagakure's Shukaku does not have a suitable jinchuriki.

Seeing Uchiha Feiyu come over, looks of pleasant surprise appeared on both of their faces, and they threw themselves at him.

"I came here this time to solve the difficult problems of the Kongque Mysterious Method!"

Moreover, the Dual Cultivation Technique of the Joyous Union Canon also made up for some of the flaws in her practice of the Kongque Mysterious Method, and it further allowed her strength to reach the level of an Elite Jonin in a very short time.

Sitting in an inn in a town in the Land of Grass, Uchiha Feiyu looked at the two Grass Country ninjas trembling on their knees before him, and thought to himself secretly.

The mission to Star Ninja Village had no difficulty; in fact, at that time, the leader of Star Ninja Village had already decided to seal away the secret treasure "Star," because due to the practice of the Kongque Mysterious Method, Star Ninja Village had almost crippled its entire village, and the village could not even find a few ninjas over 30 years old.

In fact, as long as one of these two problems is solved, the Kongque Mysterious Method can be called a rare inheritance.

"Of course you can... and even later, when your chakra control ability and your perception of Natural Energy become stronger, you can completely rely on my secret method to master Sage Mode."

This female of the Uzumaki Clan has already awakened the Bloodline Limit regarding the Sage Body, possesses the ability of physical healing, and can rely on blood and chakra to heal injured ninjas; her ninja talent can be imagined.

Uchiha Feiyu cannot solve the problem of the Kongque Mysterious Method being unable to coexist with other ninjutsu, or rather, this is not a problem at all; it is just that those ninjas who force themselves to practice the Kongque Mysterious Method lack the foundation.

Not to mention that the Star, which is necessary for practicing the Kongque Mysterious Method, will harm the human body and shorten one's lifespan, the Kongque Mysterious Method itself is equivalent to a certain high-end chakra Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation.

It is precisely because the Kongque Mysterious Method and other ninjutsu are difficult to coexist that the ninjas of Sunagakure have no interest in this kind of ninjutsu with huge Aftereffects.

The current Xia Rixing is even the strongest in Sunagakure after Pakura and Karura; relying on the Kongque Mysterious Method, which integrates offense and defense and possesses flexible flight capabilities, she can entangle even a Shadow-level powerhouse for a long time.

He hugged the two beauties and gently stroked their heads, causing them to show expressions of begging for affection like small animals, but after a moment, they both reacted.

After teaching the Secret Technique he developed to the two, Uchiha Feiyu gave them some guidance, and just as he was preparing to leave, two female Anbu wearing masks appeared in the training ground.

Afterwards, Karura used the excuse of wanting to make up for the flaws of the Kongque Mysterious Method and needing Xia Rixing's help to bring this young girl to the Land of Wind's Sunagakure, and finally offered her to Uchiha Feiyu.

"This Secret Technique is not difficult to get started with; once you have mastered it, Xia Rixing, you can go directly to practice the Kongque Mysterious Method, but if you want to practice it to mastery, to the level of being able to absorb Natural Energy, it will take a lot of effort."

In Karura's eyes, Xia Rixing's talent is almost second only to herself and Pakura; if she were born in Sunagakure, she could at least become an Elite Jonin in the future, which can be called an excellent candidate for a Cauldron.

After the two female ninjas heard Uchiha Feiyu's words, they both stopped their sparring and training, and turned their heads to look at Uchiha Feiyu.

"Not to mention that the atmosphere of this broken ninja village is simply terrible to the limit; even if some genius really appeared in this ninja village, they would probably defect at the first opportunity!"

"Lord Feiyu, the Uzumaki Clan you asked us to pay attention to has already appeared in the Grass Ninja Village!"

And the characteristic of Grass Country ninjas is that they are good at imitating the ninjutsu of other ninja villages and making improvements—to put it bluntly, they copy some ninjutsu and give them a makeover, and those so-called improvements are nine times out of ten similar to Uchiha Feiyu's method of improving the Great Dao Treasure Bottle.

Therefore, the best method is to first take action against these small Ninja Villages, kill the majority, and subjugate the remaining few, letting them become a part of the Sand Ninja, and likewise, Ninja Villages controlled by Uchiha Feiyu.

As for the Uzumaki Clan in the Grass Ninja Village, there is no need to think to know that it is that unlucky mother of Uzumaki Karin.

And Xia Rixing, under the Joyous Union Canon, has also completely become one of his own, directly forgetting the so-called Star Ninja Village and putting on the forehead protector of the Sand Ninja.

In these two years, although relying on the Dual Cultivation of the Joyous Union Canon, Xia Rixing's own physical fitness and all aspects have been highly improved, which in turn caused the power of the Kongque Mysterious Method to rise accordingly, but in reality, in terms of attainments in the ninja technique of the Kongque Mysterious Method, Xia Rixing has always been marking time.

Without the assistance of the Star, wanting to continue cultivating the Kongque Mysterious Method is almost an impossible thing; the requirements of this Secret Technique for chakra Nature Transformation are simply too high.

After hearing these words, a look of joy appeared on Xia Rixing's face.

The Secret Technique of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle itself can not only devour and refine external power, but also remove its dross and refine its essence; using it to deal with a tiny Star is, of course, easy, and can even be called using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

As for these two Grass Ninja, they came to Uchiha Feiyu of their own accord after he arrived in the Land of Grass; the reason, well—they took Uchiha Feiyu, who looked quite wealthy, for a foreign fat sheep and wanted to slaughter him directly.

Compared to the one-country-one-village system of the Five Great Nations, the systems of the many small countries in the Ninja World are very chaotic; some have only a Daimyo but no Ninja Village, while others have only a Ninja Village but no Daimyo, and the Land of Grass belongs to the latter.

It is just that, except for Uchiha Feiyu, ordinary ninja have no way to refine this Secret Technique, and if it weren't for the fact that Uchiha Feiyu absorbed the information directly from the Book of Demonic Inheritance, he himself would not even be able to cultivate the basics.

In fact, not only Uchiha Feiyu, but basically any outsider passing through the Land of Grass, if they are not a ninja and are alone, are very easily extorted by these Grass Ninja, or even directly robbed and killed.

"Lord Feiyu, have you solved the problem of the Kongque Mysterious Method? Does that mean I can continue to cultivate the Kongque Mysterious Method in the future?"

The Grass Ninja Village is a very good place; its strength is neither strong nor weak, and it has some foundation, with a number of ninja around three or four thousand, which completely meets the difficulty level Uchiha Feiyu needs, and at the same time, he can also obtain no small benefits from the Book of Demonic Path.

The ninja technique known as the Kongque Mysterious Method indeed has many benefits; looking solely at the power it displays, it is integrated in offense and defense, and can almost be called a small-scale Susanoo, and in terms of flexibility, it is even a large margin stronger than the first or second stages of Susanoo.

And his so-called solution was to dismantle and reduce the Secret Technique of the Great Dao Treasure Bottle, developing a ninja technique specifically for absorbing the essence of the Star's power.

……

"Is Lord Feiyu here to conduct cultivation?"

"You two, report all the intelligence on the Grass Ninja Village to me!"

Following Uchiha Feiyu's command, under his pair of Sharingan whose pupil power had already broken through to the Eternal Mangekyo, the two ninja immediately began to report the intelligence like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
