Three days later.
Early morning.
Seimei walked out of the tent and through the base camp, watching the crowds coming and going, and inexplicably felt an oppressive feeling of an impending storm.
Seimei knew where this feeling came from - with Orochimaru's personality, it was absolutely impossible to just get beaten without fighting back.
The ambush in the canyon at the beginning was one time, and the sneak attack three days ago was another time. After suffering two losses in a row, Orochimaru couldn't possibly not retaliate.
He had reason to suspect that the other party was brewing a big move.
However...
Seimei glanced at the traces of smoke and fire around him, knowing that even if he wanted to retaliate, it would not be possible in a short period of time.
Three days ago, the joint raid by the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja, although Konoha blocked it, more than half of the supplies in the base camp were burned.
Therefore, before the new supplies arrived, Orochimaru was unlikely to make any major moves.
And according to the speed at which they rushed to the Land of Rain battlefield a month ago, it would take at least 20 days to transport the supplies from Konoha to here.
And that's not even counting the time to gather supplies. If someone sabotages the transportation of supplies along the way, it will take even longer.
Seimei estimated that it would not be possible to get it done without a month's time.
In other words, there would probably not be any large-scale battles in the next month.
This made him relax a little.
...
Leaving the base camp and passing through several lines of defense, Seimei came to a dense forest located on the northwest side of the base camp.
As soon as he approached here, he heard several shouts of punching tree stumps, and further away, there were clanging sounds of weapons colliding.
Seimei was no longer surprised by this.
This place was originally allocated by the base camp for ninja training, so it was normal for someone to practice here.
Even in times of war, ninjas could not perform missions all year round. Basically, every ten days or half a month, they would get a few days of rest.
And under the pressure of the battlefield, many ninjas would choose to practice during this time to improve their own strength.
In order to facilitate management, the base camp specially allocated this area.
Having been on the battlefield for more than a month, Seimei would come here whenever he had time, especially in the past three days, he would come here to practice every day.
Quickly coming to an empty corner, Seimei pulled out a short sword.
This short sword was captured from Shiraishi Kaito. The sword was about half a meter long, and the blade was silver-white. It was made of fine iron mixed with some chakra conductive metal.
It was not only strong and durable, but also had good energy transmission efficiency.
Unfortunately, Seimei's fire-style ninjutsu level was not high, and his understanding of fire-attribute chakra was too shallow to complete the corresponding attribute chakra's form change and nature change, and could not exert the full power of this short blade.
Otherwise, with one move of his 'Blazing Fire Blade', the enemy would not only suffer physical damage, but also suffer high-temperature burns from the flames.
Shaking his head, Seimei temporarily put these thoughts behind him and began to practice 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu'.
That's right, Seimei had already exchanged for 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu', and the process went very smoothly without any trouble.
And during the practice, Seimei discovered that the perfection of 'Basic Taijutsu' actually had a bonus effect on it.
In less than three days, his 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' had already reached the入门 level, and even reached the lv1 (60/200) level.
According to Seimei's estimation, the learning difficulty of 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' should be C-rank. Even if it didn't consume too much chakra during practice, it would take at least three days to reach the入门 level.
Comparing the two, this was not just a little bit faster.
As for the reason?
Seimei had roughly figured it out. It was that many of the techniques in 'Basic Taijutsu' were actually included in 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu'.
In this way, the perfection of 'Basic Taijutsu' was equivalent to him learning part of the content of 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' in advance.
That's why the progress was so fast!
However, Seimei estimated that this gain effect was also limited and could not continue to assist the growth of 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu'.
After all, there was only so much that 'Basic Taijutsu' contained. Once these foundations were exhausted, it would naturally be useless.
Things developed as he expected.
Two days later.
Morning.
When Seimei completed another round of 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' training, the proficiency only increased by one point.
At the same time, on his panel, 'Basic Taijutsu' in the skill column flickered for a while and suddenly disappeared.
At first, Seimei was worried for a while, but after confirming that the relevant knowledge was still in his mind, he was relieved.
Obviously, 'Basic Taijutsu' was completely absorbed by 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu'.
At this time, the level of his 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' was lv1 (181/200).
Seeing that it was about to level up, Seimei naturally wouldn't waste time. After a short rest, he started a new round of training.
However, without the gain buff of 'Basic Taijutsu', the training speed inevitably slowed down.
It wasn't until mid-afternoon that he finally leveled up 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' to lv2 (1/500).
At this moment, although Seimei was not yet a master swordsman, he wielded the short blade in his hand decently.
After practicing for a while, Seimei put down the short blade and began to review the whole process of practicing 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' in the past few days.
One thing was certain, that his 'Konoha-Style Kenjutsu' could improve so quickly was definitely inseparable from the 'Basic Taijutsu' that he had already practiced to perfection.
From this, Seimei couldn't help but think of the situation when he learned 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique'.
At that time, it was precisely because he had already practiced 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' to lv1 that he was able to quickly get started with 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique'.
Even the 'Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique' he learned later was also because 'Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique' and 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' had been mastered one after another, so he was able to accumulate proficiency at a faster speed.
At that time, he discovered a pattern, that is, ninjutsu of the same attribute could promote each other to a certain extent.
But after all three ninjutsu were upgraded to lv1, this effect was not obvious, or almost non-existent.
So, he didn't continue to delve into it.
Now, Seimei realized he was wrong.
He shouldn't have upgraded the three fire-style ninjutsu at the same time.
Because they were all C-rank ninjutsu, and the proficiency was not much different, there was not much meaning in learning from each other.
Therefore, the proficiency could only increase bit by bit.
The correct approach should be to first improve the level of one ninjutsu, thereby mastering the advanced usage of the corresponding attribute chakra, and then learn other related ninjutsu.
In this way, it was equivalent to a senior student doing a junior student's test questions, and the process would naturally be much easier.
Reflected on the panel, it was the proficiency increasing exponentially.
In this way, not only could time be saved, but also chakra.
This made Seimei regret not thinking of this earlier.
Fortunately, it was not too late.
Seimei opened the panel and glanced at it, and finally decided to first improve the level of 'Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique' among the three fire-style ninjutsu.
The reason for choosing this was very simple, its practicality was the strongest.
As for other skills...
The relevance was not too great, just improve them step by step.
