Chapter 611: S+ Space-Time Ability

【Synthesis successful. Obtained item: Self-Select Draw Scroll·S+.】

Mu Yue immediately synthesized the fragments, then walked to the bathroom and carefully washed his hands.

"Lord Laozi, Jade Emperor..." Mu Yue then silently prayed to all the gods and Buddhas, reciting the names of famous deities from both the East and the West.

Whether it was useful was another matter; the proper ritual sense had to be maintained. After all, it was an S+ ultra-high-grade draw scroll, and a self-select scroll that could customize the draw type at that.

Mu Yue thought for a moment and finally chose the time-space category.

Currently, his disciples did not lack abilities; what they lacked was the time to thoroughly master their existing abilities.

For example, Nagato: Mu Yue had only taught him the Five Element Ninjutsu and the Breathing Method, nothing else. Was it because Nagato lacked the talent to learn other abilities?

Of course not. Nagato was a genius in his own right, and with Mu Yue's support through skills like Teaching, Enlightenment, and Doubt Resolution, how could he not learn?

It was simply that this was the most suitable path for Nagato.

Advanced Five Element Ninjutsu could fully leverage Nagato's advantage in chakra nature transformation level, while the Sun Breathing Technique could strengthen Nagato's Uzumaki physique, thereby offsetting the side effects of the Rinnegan.

Nagato's Rinnegan was Uchiha Madara's Rinnegan, making it exceptionally difficult for Nagato to use.

Since the disciples didn't need to draw additional skills, Mu Yue naturally preferred something more powerful for himself.

The time-space category was undoubtedly a category more likely to yield good results.

Powerful abilities like Flying Thunder God Technique, Kamui, and Amenotejikara could all be considered time-space ninjutsu.

Fire Release might not necessarily be low-tier, but time-space truly was top-tier; this attribute was hardly weak.

【Do you wish to convert the Self-Select Draw Scroll·S+ into a Time-Space Skill Draw Scroll·S+?】

Mu Yue clicked confirm, then clicked draw.

【Time-Space Skill Draw Scroll·S+ consumed. Obtained skill: Infinity Technique.】

The moment the draw completed, a vast amount of cultivation experience regarding the Infinity Technique flooded into Mu Yue's mind.

"It's actually this skill. That really is a jackpot." Mu Yue thought after organizing the memories.

Mu Yue was not unfamiliar with the Infinity Technique. This ability was very special and interesting, and its user was also very distinctive.

Of course, he was in the Naruto world, so the user was irrelevant for now.

The Infinity Technique was a somewhat fantastical ability that could realize the convergent infinite series from the Achilles paradox in the real world.

In practice, it manifested as the enemy never being able to touch the caster of the Infinity Technique. The closer the enemy got to the caster, the slower their speed became, until they seemed to be forcibly stopped.

The Hyuga clan's Rotation was hailed as an absolute defense, and Gaara's Sand Shield also had the reputation of an absolute defense, but compared to these two, the Infinity Technique was much more like a true absolute defense.

The enemy's attacks couldn't even touch you—if that wasn't an absolute defense, what was?

Next, Mu Yue activated the Flying Thunder God Technique to go outside Konoha. He wanted to test the specific performance of the Infinity Technique after localization.

The Infinity Technique sounded incredible, and indeed it performed very strongly in Jujutsu Kaisen, but Infinity was not invincible. There were still a few ways to hit the user of Infinity.

"Shadow Clone Technique!"

Mu Yue formed hand seals and created a shadow clone. He had the shadow clone attack him, while Mu Yue focused his breathing and activated the Transparent World.

In Jujutsu Kaisen, the Infinity Technique required sufficiently fine cursed energy manipulation to be used. If one's cursed energy manipulation was lacking, even if they inherited this ability, they couldn't use it.

After localization, this requirement became fine manipulation of chakra.

However, Mu Yue was, after all, someone who cheated.

The system would not give Mu Yue abilities he couldn't use. If Mu Yue's own hardware was insufficient, the system would help him upgrade the relevant hardware. The specific upgrade extent depended on the proficiency level of the skill.

For example, when he drew the Master-level Thoughtless Slash, Mu Yue's swordsmanship level skyrocketed, and his proficiency in Lightning Release nature transformation increased by a thousand points.

After drawing the Infinity Technique, Mu Yue could feel his chakra control level had risen.

Of course, the system would help Mu Yue improve, but it would not raise him to the point of perfectly utilizing the skill. Therefore, Mu Yue opened the Transparent World to further enhance the precision of his chakra manipulation.

"Explosive Fist!"

The shadow clone gathered a large amount of chakra on its fist and suddenly smashed it toward Mu Yue.

But when the shadow clone's fist reached about five centimeters from Mu Yue's body, the speed of the shadow clone's fist abruptly slowed down.

When it reached a distance of two to three centimeters, the shadow clone's fist came to a complete halt, as if hitting an invisible barrier. No matter how much chakra the shadow clone erupted, it couldn't make the fist get any closer to Mu Yue.

Swish!

The shadow clone retracted its strength, dodged back, and rapidly formed hand seals, gathering chakra at its throat.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

A large amount of flame was spewed by the shadow clone, then rapidly formed into a huge fireball that hurtled toward Mu Yue.

Boom!!

The flames struck Mu Yue, who remained motionless in place. The fierce blaze dyed the surroundings fiery red, and the ground was scorched black by the explosion and flames.

After the explosion smoke dissipated, Mu Yue appeared completely unharmed.

Not only was Mu Yue uninjured, even his clothing showed not a single trace of having been attacked.

Next, the shadow clone tried every trick in the book, testing all kinds of ninjutsu and secret techniques.

As Mu Yue expected, although the world of Naruto did not have abilities like Domain Expansion or Domain Amplification, the Limitless still couldn't be invincible.

For example, the Shadow Imitation Technique could still connect to his shadow to restrain him, and genjutsu could also affect him.

However, these were minor issues compared to the advantages of the Limitless technique, since it was unrealistic for a single technique to cover everything.

Moreover, with Mu Yue's speed, he could absolutely never be hit by the Shadow Imitation Technique, and his eyes allowed him to ignore genjutsu.

Mu Yue felt that the weakness of the Limitless technique was not in things like the Shadow Imitation Technique, but rather the consumption of the Limitless technique.

Now that he had over three million chakra, he naturally didn't need to worry too much about the consumption of the Limitless.

If he wanted to teach it to his disciple, then he would need to think of a solution.

Because among his current disciples, the only one with a chance of learning the Limitless technique was Kakashi, who had mastered the Transparent World and possessed considerable talent in chakra control.

Kakashi's chakra was actually not insignificant—at just twelve years old, he already surpassed some Konoha jonin.

But Kakashi already mastered quite a few abilities; adding another chakra-consuming Limitless technique would really stretch his reserves thin.

"If I could combine it with the Yang Seal, perhaps it could become a fully automatic Limitless technique, until the Yang Seal's chakra runs out." A thought flashed through Mu Yue's mind.

Mu Yue had high expectations for the Yang Seal technique and had been working hard to perfect it, developing it in different directions.

Suddenly, Mu Yue remembered something. He took out the Six Paths Staff from the system space, injected a bit of chakra into it, and hurled the Six Paths Staff toward the direction of his Flying Thunder God mark.

Swish!

Mu Yue used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport, then quietly watched the Six Paths Staff fly toward him, activating the Limitless technique.

There was no help for it—after injecting chakra into the Six Paths Staff, a shadow clone would instantly disperse upon touching it, so he had to test it this way.

Thump!

The Six Paths Staff lightly struck Mu Yue's chest, knocking him back a distance.

Using the Mystical Palm Technique to heal the spot that had been struck, Mu Yue wore an expression of "just as I thought."

The Six Paths Staff had the property of the Truth-Seeking Balls to ignore ninjutsu, and the Limitless technique was clearly within the scope of being ignored.

The ninja world had many ninjutsu and secret techniques with wondrous effects. Making good use of information gaps to kill opponents stronger than oneself with these techniques was not uncommon—for example, Hidan's curse.

However, once the difference in level was too great, no matter how miraculous the secret technique, it was useless.

The Six Paths level was such an existence. Even an Impure World Reincarnation body that could rapidly recover chakra and injuries could be wiped away with a wave of the hand before a Six Paths level opponent.

"Shōnama-bikuna!"

Mu Yue gathered chakra in his eyes and glanced at the Six Paths Staff.

Swish!

The Six Paths Staff shrank rapidly.

His dojutsu had a high priority; even the Six Paths Staff with Truth-Seeking Ball properties could still be shrunk.

Then Mu Yue put the Six Paths Staff back into the system space.

Although Daikokuten can also be used and is similarly convenient, Mu Yue still thinks the system space is a bit better.

"The advantage of the Limitless Cursed Technique is that it can also block taijutsu, compensating for Sukunahikona's defensive weakness while enriching his options." Mu Yue thought.

Aside from being used for defense, the Limitless Cursed Technique has many other uses.

For example, compressing the space between oneself and a certain position to achieve a teleportation-like effect.

Of course, it's only similar. In the world of Naruto, it's more like an extremely fast Body Flicker Technique; unlike the Flying Thunder God Technique which is spatial teleportation, if there is a person or object in the movement path, Mu Yue will directly crash into it.

Although it's inferior to the Flying Thunder God Technique, as an advanced usage technique of a ninjutsu, it is already considered powerful.

Additionally, the Limitless Cursed Technique can also be used offensively, turning the distance between multiple targets into a negative value, thereby generating an attractive force.

This move is fairly powerful, but not very easy to use. In actual combat, it might not be as good as the basic Rinnegan ability, Universal Pull.

Overall, Mu Yue feels that the Limitless Cursed Technique is still worth his S+ extraction scroll.

Unlike the Unfettered Slash and the Blue Flame, the Limitless Cursed Technique is very well-rounded—it can take hits, dish out damage, and also run away.

Even if a ninja only trained in the Limitless Cursed Technique, they could still become a formidable powerhouse.

This is a ninjutsu very suitable as a family secret technique, but its difficulty is too high, making it easy for the inheritance to be broken.

……

Hokage Building, conference room.

"The battle location is decided. It will be on the small hill at the border of the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain," Hiruzen Sarutobi said.

In order to finalize the duel location, Hiruzen Sarutobi had no small amount of trouble making Orochimaru and the Shinobi Sect argue back and forth.

Hiruzen Sarutobi certainly hoped it would be in the Land of Fire and closer to Konoha, so that it would be less prone to accidents.

Kakuzu and the others, on the other hand, hoped it would be far from Konoha, ideally at Six Paths City, also with the aim of avoiding accidents.

In the end, both sides had to compromise and chose the hill at the border of the two nations.

"What about the time?" Homura Mitokado asked.

At this point, there was definitely no stopping it.

"Four days from now. I've already sent Orochimaru away from the Shinobi Sect to go and reconnoiter the site conditions," Hiruzen Sarutobi replied.

He wasn't actually guarding against the Shinobi Sect, because the Shinobi Sect only had a few capable members. He was worried about other ninja forces causing trouble.

"Then I'll go with you at that time," Homura Mitokado suggested.

If he and Hiruzen Sarutobi joined forces, plus Orochimaru, even in the worst situation, they should be able to break through the encirclement.

Moreover, the border of the Land of Fire was still the Land of Fire. Homura Mitokado felt that even if something unexpected happened, it wouldn't be that extreme.

"No need for so much trouble. After all, Orochimaru will be there," Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head.

This was his impulsive and arbitrary choice; how could he bear to trouble his old friend to accompany him on this trip.

"What's the trouble? Just treat it as a few days of paid leave," Homura Mitokado said with a smile.

"I won't help you handle your work. You'll do it yourself when you get back," Koharu Utatane said faintly.

Seeing this scene, Hiruzen Sarutobi was reminded of the times they had carried out missions together, and couldn't help but smile.

"Then, Homura, you'll come with me. It's been a long time since we've left the village together."

After becoming higher-ups, each of them shouldered heavy responsibilities. They rarely left the village easily; when they did, it was for important missions, and they seldom set out together.

"During the few days I'm away from Konoha, if there are any urgent matters, I'll trouble you, Mu Yue, to handle them for me. Other things can wait until I return," Hiruzen Sarutobi then turned to Mu Yue and said.

Since this trip out of the village wouldn't be long, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't arrange for an acting Hokage.

"I understand, Third Hokage," Mu Yue nodded and replied.

He planned to depart at the same time as Hiruzen Sarutobi, leaving a Shadow Clone in Konoha to handle affairs.

After all, he was going to fight against Hiruzen Sarutobi, who hadn't completely aged yet. There was no way he would send a Shadow Clone of the Shinobi Sect to take it on.

Three days later.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Homura Mitokado changed into their mission combat uniforms and met at the training ground. Apart from the higher-ups, six jōnin were also standing on the training ground.

These were all elite jonin specially selected by Sarutobi Hiruzen to serve as his temporary guards.

"Mu Yue, Koharu, I'll leave Konoha in your hands for now." Sarutobi Hiruzen said in farewell.

Mu Yue's shadow clone and Utatane Koharu responded, then watched the group leave.

By now, Mu Yue's original body had already used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport outside Konoha.

After leaving the training ground, Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura used the Transformation Technique to disguise themselves as ordinary Konoha ninja.

This arranged duel was a classified mission, known to very few people. Sarutobi Hiruzen and Mitokado Homura had to conceal their identities.

"Danzo, soon I will avenge you." After leaving Konoha, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked to the west and said.

That direction led to the Rain Country, which was also the direction of their dueling site.

PS: Gojo Roushi's abilities are quite complex, so I'm trying to explain them as clearly as possible, and I'll write a bit more.

Also, the fact that the Transparent World can improve chakra control is not a new setting; it was mentioned back in chapter 59 (after going premium) in the chapter on the Perfect Breathing Technique.
