Chapter 104: The Summoning of the Thrid Hokage
After finishing his meal, Kiba
walked out of Ichiraku Ramen and headed back to his cabin on the outskirts of
the village.
After four days away, Kiba felt a
sense of familiarity and comfort when he saw the cabin.
Next, I'll make up for the daily training I've
missed these past four days!
Feeling full and a bit tired, Kiba
knew that resting now would be a waste of time. Instead, he decided to make up
for the daily training he had missed.
Having made up his mind, Kiba
walked to the back of the cabin and began his training routine.
Today, before bed, I'll do 1,200 straight punches,
1,200 side kicks, and 1,200 push-ups...
Kiba silently set his goals,
punching the wooden stake with determination.
At the same time, he thought about
developing the injury mode.
Opening the four gates is risky. The gate of pain
has entered the dangerous realm of the Eight Gates Released Formation. My
seven-year-old body can't handle the berserk chakra that comes with it. Each
activation causes severe muscle tissue damage, even if it's less than 10
seconds. Developing the gate of pain requires repeated attempts...
Kiba frowned. This was the biggest
challenge in developing the injury mode.
The gate of pain will undoubtedly
damage the body, and developing the gate of pain mode requires repeated
attempts. When he developed the life gate mode, it took thousands of tries
before he succeeded. Although he had the experience of developing the life gate
mode, the injury mode involves more violent chakra, which is incomparable to
the life gate. It can't be achieved overnight and will likely take many
attempts.
Opening the gate of pain requires injury, and
developing the gate of pain mode requires opening it multiple times. If I open
it once, wait for recovery, and then open it again... This efficiency is too
low. The pain is bearable, but this inefficient method isn't.
If he was born in a peaceful age
like Naruto's childhood, he could continue this way inefficiently. But not now.
He must develop the injury mode before the Third Shinobi War and obtain elite
Jonin-level chakra.
Once I have elite Jonin-level chakra, my ninjutsu
options will expand, and their power will increase. The strange power will also
be greater.
Currently, his ninjutsu choices
are limited. Water Release can only be maximized in places with water. Powerful
Water Release jutsu require considerable water. For example, his current
strongest Water Release jutsu, the B-rank Water Dragon Bullet Technique,
consumes almost two-thirds of his chakra in the life gate mode to produce
water. This is just enough to cast the technique, far from its maximum power.
Even in places with water, he
can't use the Water Dragon Bullet more than three times.
As for Earth Release, he has only
mastered three techniques: Earth Style Wall, double suicide decapitation Jutsu,
hiding like a mole jutsu and Earth Spear. These cannot be his main escape
techniques for now.
Because of continuous use and
adaptation of the life gate mode, the chakra loss in the life gate state has
become almost negligible. His chakra in the life gate mode has reached the
level of an elite Chunin, possibly even a Jonin, but it's still not enough.
His ninjutsu talent is very good,
and he will learn more jutsu in the future. If his chakra amount can't keep up,
much of his ninjutsu talent will be wasted.
I rely on strange strength the most. The strange
strength, developed by the First Hokage and perfected by Tsunade, requires a
huge chakra to exert maximum power—the power to collapse mountains and land.
The power of my current strange strength is nothing. If I told Tsunade this was
strange strength, she would probably beat me.
Therefore, as long as the injury
mode is completed, Kiba's strength will increase significantly. He will have
the confidence to protect himself in the Third Shinobi War.
After all, many formidable
opponents appeared in the Third War. One of them was the Fourth Hokage, Minato
Namikaze, and many others from various ninja villages. Even enemy ninjas
admired by Minato appeared.
It would have been great if I had read some analysis
posts about the Third Shinobi War on the Internet. I wouldn't be so ignorant
now, Kiba sighed and
punched the stake heavily, making a muffled sound.
However, this is also good. Every day, regard
tomorrow as the outbreak of the Third War and train hard!
Kiba thought this and then felt
bitter in his heart.
However, the injury mode is too time-consuming and
inefficient. I have to think about... wait, wasting time? Injuries take time?
When Kiba was distressed, a flash
of inspiration suddenly appeared in his mind.
Yes, it can be done like this! I think it is too
simple. The Eight Gates mode is like a puzzle, and my ultra-fine chakra control
is only a part of it. To fully develop the Eight Gates mode, other pieces are
needed, and this ninjutsu is just another piece!
Thinking of this, Kiba smiled.
This works! Certainly possible! With this ninjutsu,
I can develop the injury mode efficiently.
Kiba exhaled a long breath, his
fists coming down on the wooden stake with a "bang bang" sound.
After figuring out the solution,
Kiba's right fist hit a little harder, and then another thought flashed in his
mind.
Forgot! No weight-bearing props... Uh, daily
training, let's start all over again.
Thinking about it, Kiba stopped
his punching and walked toward the cabin to get the weight-bearing props. As he
walked toward the main entrance of the cabin, a ninja with an ANBU mask blocked
his way.
Kiba frowned.
so soon?
"Kiba, the Third Hokage is
looking for you. Please come in" the ANBU ninja said politely.
It seems that Kiba's identity as
the son of a traitor didn't bother the ANBU ninja.
"Okay, I see. Please let me
get something first. You can follow me," Kiba said.
"I'll wait for you
here," the ANBU ninja shook his head and said.
In his words, he showed trust in
Kiba, which surprised Kiba a little. After all, he was still the son of a
traitor, and it was normal to have doubts about him.
"Okay! Please wait a
moment." After all, it was a unit directly under the Hokage, and so
polite, Kiba's tone was also very polite.
After finishing speaking, Kiba
walked into the house.
And the ANBU ninja watched him
walk in.
Looking at this kid, he seems to have known that I
would come... He truly deserves to be the most dazzling genius who planned the
brilliant team battle of the final test.
