Early morning, training ground by the river.
Perhaps it was the transformation of my mindset yesterday, the realization of my true self, that made today's Taiyi training so remarkably effective. Whether it was swordsmanship or ninjutsu, practicing them was incredibly efficient.
Especially beside the babbling brook, watching the slowly flowing and endless river, Taiyi was exceptionally adept at using the water attribute transformations.
"Water Release: Great Water Prison Technique"
Taiyi slapped the water with his palm, and a water wall more than 5 meters high suddenly rose from the water surface 20 meters away. The water wall did not stop and extended in all directions with lightning speed, forming a circular encirclement in the blink of an eye.
That wasn't all; the top of the encirclement poured down with surging water, while the entire encirclement closed inwards.
From the moment the water wall rises to the moment the surrounding circle closes in, the whole process takes only two or three seconds, and a large water sphere is formed.
If someone gets close enough to look, they can see that the water inside the water sphere is flowing rapidly and irregularly. This is to create turbulence to prevent trapped people from struggling.
As the first ninjutsu that Taiichi developed himself, his understanding of it was incredibly detailed. In Taiichi's opinion, there were still many areas where this ninjutsu could be improved.
For example, how to create water blades in a water sphere to quickly strangle trapped personnel.
For example, increase the speed and power of the turbulence, and try to twist the enemy inside into a pretzel with the turbulence.
These are all development directions that Taiyi is currently researching, but he had no clue where to start before. Now that Taiyi's mind is clear, as he maintains the Great Water Prison Technique by the river, all sorts of inspirations are constantly emerging.
[During enlightenment, water attribute change +500]
As Taichi continued to transfer chakra, the enormous water sphere gradually compressed inward, and its volume gradually decreased.
Meanwhile, the surface is constantly covered with bulges, and sometimes even a torrent of water splashes out. Each time this torrent hits the ground, it forms small craters, demonstrating the immense power of the water.
As time went on, Taiyi was also covered in sweat, but seeing the water prison gradually stabilize again, Taiyi gritted his teeth and persevered.
Just as Taiyi was about to smile, seeing that the task was about to be completed, the water prison suddenly collapsed. The gushing water transformed into indestructible water arrows that swept in all directions.
The moment the water prison collapsed, Taiichi knew he was doomed. He didn't have time to use any ninjutsu and could only flee backward at top speed.
Just over a second after Taiyi escaped, the spot where he had been standing was pierced by a barrage of water arrows, and more water arrows continued to shoot towards Taiyi as he fled.
Fortunately, Taiyi, who was fleeing, had freed up his hands to complete the hand seals. "Water Release: Water Wall" - a water wall rose up in front of Taiyi.
Then, a series of "plop plop plop" sounds were heard, and water splashed everywhere as the surface of the water array wall was hit.
It wasn't until another three to five seconds had passed that everything returned to calm.
At this moment, Taiyi also removed the water array barrier and looked around. What he saw shocked him so much that he was dumbfounded. He saw that everything within a 50-meter radius of the previous water prison was riddled with holes.
Taiyi stepped forward to inspect the tree with trepidation. Looking at the large tree, about 40 meters away from the eruption point, he saw four holes piercing through the trunk.
Then look at that big blue stone over there. Lying by the river, it is closest to the point of explosion. Its surface has more than ten holes. If you stick your finger in, you still can't reach the end.
Just imagine if that hit someone, it would leave a hole in their body. Thinking about it, Taiyi couldn't help but shudder.
The more detailed Taiichi's examination, the more cold sweat poured down his forehead. It seemed he had just been one step away from death. Taiichi now understood just how dangerous developing ninjutsu truly was.
Gazing at the river, now calm, for a long time, Tai suddenly burst out laughing: "Ha~ha~ha~ha~"
Why do you think that is? Well, although Taiichi didn't finish improving the Great Water Prison Technique, this is now a new ninjutsu with extraordinary power. Judging by its power, Taiichi would believe it to be an S-rank ninjutsu.
Once Taiyi regained his composure, he understood that these were simply two different ways of using the improved Great Water Prison Technique.
When used against an enemy, it works just like the previous mistake, creating water arrows that sweep in all directions, making it a ninjutsu suitable for use among enemy groups.
Internally, it's the original design of the Great Water Prison, which can more effectively trap and kill enemies inside.
In that short time, Taiyi had already come up with a name: internally, it would be called Water Release: Great Water Prison Technique, and externally, it would be called Water Release: Wild Water Dance.
All that remains is to continue refining these two new ninjutsu. Of course, Taichi needs to be fully prepared this time, because no one can guarantee that he will be able to dodge in time if he makes a mistake next time.
At this point, the panel also provided a corresponding prompt:
[During enlightenment, water attribute change +100]
【恭喜，你开发出新忍术，S级水遁·大水牢术（改）Lv0（32/100），S级水遁·狂水乱舞Lv0（45/100））
Looking at the two still unfinished Lv0 states, Taiichi was filled with enthusiasm. But when he thought about continuing to try, he awkwardly stopped.
It turns out that the previous practice and the experiment just now had exhausted his chakra, and now he could only wait for it to slowly recover.
Looking up at the sky, he realized it was already noon; so much time had passed without him noticing. Taiyi decided to stop training, slung his short sword over his shoulder again, and slowly strolled towards the village.
The midday sun made the bluestone slabs scorching hot, but this did not dampen people's enthusiasm for shopping.
On one side of the street, the aroma of eel rice balls and grilled saury wafted through the air. On the other side, the red-lacquered torii gate cast a short shadow, and the curtain of the three-colored rice ball shop was lifted by the heat, revealing steaming delicacies in bamboo trays.
As Taiichi was pondering what to eat for lunch, he looked up and saw a white-haired ninja squatting on the roof in the distance.
This scene gave Taiyi a sense of familiarity. When Taiyi looked up at the house where the ninja was standing, sure enough, a large character for "soup" was hanging in front of the eaves.
Without a doubt, the only person who would dare to hide on a rooftop and spy on a women's bathhouse in broad daylight is Jiraiya.
Seeing Jiraiya squatting on the roof, constantly adjusting his posture, and even lying down to find a good angle to peep, Taichi couldn't help but feel a mischievous urge.
Jiraiya was extremely excited at this moment. He had finally completed an S-rank mission and was on his way back to hand over the mission when he passed by the entrance of this hot spring.
Looking around, I confirmed that there really was a newly opened hot spring resort. It was currently having a grand opening sale, with lots of pretty young ladies and girls there.
This only intensified Jiraiya's restless desire to explore. After looking around again and making sure no one he knew was there, Jiraiya quietly slipped to the back of the house and climbed over the back wall onto the roof.
Jiraiya was an experienced hand. He listened carefully to the sounds inside the bathhouse, and after confirming the location of the women's bathhouse, he licked his increasingly dry fingers. Then, he carefully poked a small hole in the window.
Impatient Jiraiya quickly peered inside, and his breath hitched for a moment before he began to pant rapidly, occasionally letting out a silly chuckle.
Its buttocks, meanwhile, twisted east and west, determined to find a more suitable vantage point for observation.
Just as Jiraiya was engrossed in his own "source gathering" project, a sharp shout came from the rooftop next to him: "Jiraiya, what are you doing?!"
