Chapter 174 Lanwu's Advantages
"Hahaha—ha, what this kid means is that our ninja academy tests the Three Body Techniques, and has nothing to do with strength or anything like that, hahaha." Jiraiya felt a bit embarrassed when he heard Akaishi's challenge on the castle tower.
Sanmu and the others fell silent for a moment.
"It is against etiquette for the Three-Eyed Great Swordsman to be fought by a Konoha ninja. I should—" Mifune's face darkened at this moment.
"Shut up! What kind of place is this? What right do you, a swordsman, have to speak?" Sanmu shoved him hard, his eyes red.
After seeing Mifune kill the Rain Ninja yesterday, Sanmu has been restless ever since.
On one hand, he wanted Mifune to die immediately, but on the other hand, he knew that Mifune absolutely could not die.
At the same time, below the castle, the three Rain Ninja partners, the Great Salamander, spewed out poisonous mist together!
The purple poisonous fog spread rapidly through the air.
Akashi charged forward first, forming hand seals. His figure multiplied from one to two, then from two to four.
What the Rain Ninja didn't notice was that Akaishi's first clone was exactly the same, while the next two clones were mirror images!
The four Akaishi ran towards the poisonous fog together, seemingly recklessly rushing into it.
But just as Akaishi was about to rush in, four of them simultaneously pulled out the round fans they had been carrying on their backs—
Wind Release: Wind Pressure Technique! *4
At the edge of the poisonous fog, the four Red Stones fanned themselves with round fans. Under the four layers of "Wind Pressure Technique", the effect of air exchange and wind passage alone was close to ten "Great Breakthroughs". In terms of wind passage range alone, it was almost equivalent to an A-level "Airflow Dance". However, the consumption of four "Wind Pressure Techniques" was less than half that of "Airflow Dance".
The poisonous gas that had originally covered a circular area centered on the three-headed giant salamander was blown into a crescent shape after Akashi's four-fold wind escaping entered it.
Two-thirds of the poisonous fog dispersed to the flanks.
Immediately, Akaishi silently canceled the only "Shadow Clone," keeping only the other two "Mirror Clones"—if the main body only retained a quarter of its chakra, Akaishi was still somewhat weak.
Therefore, Akaishi first used "Shadow Clone," and then used "Mirror Clone" together with "Shadow Clone," which allowed him to reclaim the chakra of "Shadow Clone."
Two mirrored figures instantly surpassed the main body of the Red Stone and were about to disappear into the poisonous fog. At this moment, the poisonous fog was still spreading back at an accelerated speed, obviously the giant salamander was spitting even more fiercely!
At the same time, Lan Wu surpassed Chi Shi's true form and arrived in front of Chi Shi—
Water Release: Mist Concealment Technique!
Lanwu opened her mouth and exhaled a large cloud of white mist.
It was even whiter than the usual "Mist Concealment Technique," and it looked even thicker!
From the perspective of the city gate, this was already close to a milky white fog, which to some extent prevented the poisonous fog from spreading further. Although it did not completely stop it, the spread of the poisonous fog clearly slowed down after it came into contact with the fog.
Upon closer inspection, it can be observed that at the intersection of the two types, the "poisonous fog" is noticeably darker in color.
Upon seeing this, Jiraiya's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "This ninjutsu is already complete?"
"It's still a long way off. It's just that Miss Lanwu's expertise in Water Release chakra nature transformation has allowed her to modify the effects of the 'Hidden Mist Technique'," Orochimaru said calmly.
Orochimaru paused for a moment before saying, "Honestly, there are always some self-important guys—Miss Lanwu is only outstanding in her talent for Water Release chakra transformation; in medical ninjutsu, she's just mediocre."
Well, the "self-righteous guy" I'm referring to is, of course, the person who guided Lan Wu and led her to focus on training in "medical ninjutsu".
However, "someone" is not here right now, so Jiraiya obviously doesn't dare to convey the message!
Three days ago, Lanwu was still researching how to make the "antidote" effective against the poison of the salamander.
The poison of the salamander is indeed different from the usual poison techniques in the ninja world. Konoha's research on antidotes is actually very profound. After all, the Sand Village, which has always been ambitious, has many cunning old foxes who play with poison!
"The Lanwu dance was also aimed at the poisonous fog!" Jiraiya indirectly spoke up for "someone".
This is to prove that Lan Wu has not been misled; indeed, Lan Wu's focus is still on Water Release.
It seems that the focus on studying medical ninjutsu was entirely due to the circumstances.
The foundation of "medical ninjutsu? Detoxification techniques in medical ninjutsu" requires medical ninjas to instantly identify the type of toxin and neutralize it to achieve the detoxification effect, which greatly tests the skill level of medical ninjas.
"Moreover, the toxins in the salamander are different from ordinary toxins. They don't react with anything or have corrosive properties. Instead, they directly block nerve signals to achieve paralysis. The detoxification method is extremely inefficient at destroying it!"
"To find an effective antidote for the toxins of the salamander is almost equivalent to creating a new medical ninjutsu." Orochimaru's meaning was clear: given Lan Wu's aptitude and abilities, researching this would be a waste of time.
However, Jiraiya rubbed his nose and said, "At least—Lanwu didn't go through all that trouble for nothing, did she?"
Orochimaru: ————
Orochimaru paused for a moment.
It really is!
Lan Wu doesn't have much talent in "medical ninjutsu"; she's just average at "learning".
However, whether she inherited the mind of the second generation or the straightforwardness of the first generation, Lan Wu had an idea when she wanted to improve the "detoxification technique". Since it was difficult to destroy this kind of toxin, why not think of a way to "extract" these toxins!
Therefore, the first step is to concentrate the toxins to prevent them from further affecting the nerves and causing paralysis. Then, extract them using chakra, and then—
That was it!
The first step was beyond Lanwu's capabilities.
This is essentially creating a completely new "detoxification technique".
When Orochimaru saw this, he nodded secretly, "Yes, that's more like it."
Once you've thought of it, you simply can't do it—that's the norm for "geniuses"!
The idea that "someone" can create something simply because they have a thought of it is neither scientific nor virtuous.
So Orochimaru reminded Lan Wu of something at that time—
"Miss Lanwu, your idea is good, but your talent is simply not enough to support you in developing this new ninjutsu. You have no clue how to condense toxins inside the human body."
At first, when Lan Wu heard this, she thought that Captain Orochimaru had come to put her down.
However, Orochimaru later said, "You should think more about your true strengths."
After receiving this hint, Lan Wu considered another possibility: the toxins might condense within the body and then be extracted, something she couldn't do herself, but—
Making the poisonous fog condense and then settle is something I could very well do!
The "Mist Concealment Technique" inherently possesses a certain absorption effect, something Lan Wu already knew.
So, over the next three days, Lan Wu applied this technique to the improvement of the "Mist Concealment Technique".
Lanwu had previously tried to enlarge the small water droplets of the "Mist Concealment Technique" to resist the interference and shielding of the enemy's "Mist Concealment Technique".
What needs to be done now is pretty much the same —
There are two main steps: first, to enlarge the small water droplets into a coarse, wet mist; second, to make these drifting water droplets have a fat-soluble surface so that they can better absorb toxin particles!
In this way, the poisonous fog that enters the "Concentrated Fog Concealment Technique" becomes large poisonous particles, which naturally settle to the ground and can no longer float.
This led to the scene at the foot of the city gate: where the two came into contact, the toxin appeared to be darker in color, but it was not easy for it to spread!
Although it cannot completely block the spread of the toxic fog, it can greatly reduce the speed at which the fog spreads.
"Unfortunately, this not only increases chakra consumption dramatically, but also significantly reduces the area of effect," Jiraiya lamented.
The denser it is, the smaller the area it will cover.
and----
"The small range and high consumption are not the most important problems. The main difficulty is that this method requires too much chakra manipulation," Orochimaru said.
It's currently just an alternative use of the "Hidden Mist Technique," and it's extremely difficult to learn. Orochimaru could certainly learn it, but he estimated that only a handful of Jonin in the village who specialize in Water Release could learn it.
If it can be fully developed into a "new ninjutsu", the learning threshold will be lowered. After all, it is currently a high-end variation of the "Hidden Mist Technique". It would be better to learn a new ninjutsu directly. The hand seals will be different, and then you can "know what it is without knowing why it is".
Even so, Orochimaru estimated that this new ninjutsu would be extremely difficult among B-rank ninjutsu, even more difficult than many A-rank ninjutsu, since it involves profound chakra transformation techniques, especially form transformation and nature transformation!
If one had more chakra, they would fall into the A-rank category.
Seeing that the poisonous fog had mostly dissipated and then been contained, Akaishi, Ranmai, and Minato all focused their attention on their respective opponents—the swordsmen and great swordsmen of the Land of Iron. When they saw Akaishi's "clone technique," they even smirked, thinking it was nothing more than a smokescreen, a flashy trick.
However, when the four-fold wind pressure technique directly dispersed most of the poisonous fog, the warriors' expressions turned serious.
Then we see Lan Wu use a strange technique to intercept the poisonous fog—
Ninjas are so strong!
Although they are usually known for their "superior swordsmanship", they have been dealt a heavy blow by the Rain Ninja recently. Now, seeing young Konoha ninjas break through the poisonous fog that left them helpless and forced to fight to the death, their hearts are shaken even more!
Of course, some people remained unmoved.
Mifune watched this scene intently—
He was usually criticized for being unorthodox, but at this time Mifune's swordsmanship was at its strongest. He did not think, "Could we be making a mistake?" but rather, "We should strive to improve ourselves!"
External chakra release is the future of swordsmanship—Mifune gripped Kurosawa's hand even tighter—
