“I wonder if the Third Kazekage did that on purpose, or if it was an accident!”
“Or perhaps? It was a deliberate accident…” Uchiha Tenxiu couldn't help but secretly guess at Rasa's arrangements.
As for Yakura, she also failed in her competition with the Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, for the position of Kazekage. In the later internal power struggles, Rasa used a treacherous scheme to send her to Kirigakure to her death. She once appeared briefly in the Fourth Ninja World War.
Now, by following him, she has avoided her future premature death, which can be considered a good outcome.
However, putting their beauty aside for a moment, and looking solely at their strength, both of them can be said to be exceptionally gifted. Currently, they have both reached Elite Jonin strength, and each possesses unique specialties. One has her own Bloodline Limit—Scorch Release, while the other has shown powerful talent in Sealing Jutsu.
It's imaginable that with a little more training, Kage Level strength would not be difficult for them. If even more effort and resources were invested, there's even hope to help them break through to a higher level.
Because of this, Uchiha Tenxiu would specifically guide them in his daily life, focusing on improving their strength.
And in the days that followed, Uchiha Tenxiu devoted most of his time to improving his own strength.
He trained diligently every day, constantly breaking through his limits. This arduous training left both Karura and Yakura wide-eyed and deeply shocked.
Things like taijutsu training under a gravity barrier with multiple times the gravity, while carrying various weights.
Or using Genin-level Chakra and stamina to fight Jonin, to train for higher precision control.
Or constructing a nearly real world with Genjutsu, altering the perception of time within it, allowing outsiders to enter, and thereby controlling the manipulation of Genjutsu.
Just the people who cooperated with him in their training, in the illusion, unknowingly spent more than ten years, and only when they came out did they suddenly realize that they were still in the same year as ten years ago, such was the power of the Genjutsu.
Both of them were extremely shocked. Such a powerful Genjutsu would leave even Kage Level powerhouses helpless.
Not to mention, this was Uchiha Tenxiu, who possessed the Sharingan, using Genjutsu without activating his Sharingan.
It's truly unknown how terrifying this Genjutsu would become once Uchiha Tenxiu activated his Sharingan?
Just like that.
Days passed one by one.
In the blink of an eye, more than ten days had passed.
Uchiha Tenxiu's physical accumulation was already sufficient.
One morning, as Uchiha Tenxiu was training as usual, that boundary had completely blurred. Suddenly, his body trembled violently, and he abruptly opened his eyes.
In an instant, a powerful force surged from within him. The Super Kage Level boundary barrier, which was originally there, instantly disintegrated under the impact of this force.
Perhaps for others in the Ninja World, the concept of 'realm' is not obvious, and there are no realm bottlenecks.
Once they reach the corresponding level of strength, they simply enter it without much fanfare, but for Uchiha Tenxiu, who cultivates a technique, it is not like that.
Each level of the realm boundary is like a precise step in a process. Upon reaching each realm, a significant increase in strength occurs, causing an explosive growth period in all aspects of oneself, whether it be power, speed, spirit, or Chakra, all-round growth at a frantic pace.
At the same time, the cultivation technique, refined by Uchiha Tenxiu and integrated with the Ninja realms, also broke through to the third level.
It entered a new stage.
The first level of the cultivation technique, which trains the body, “Refining Essence,” is about controlling the physical body and dividing strength, much like the operation of a national martial arts system, constantly allowing less power to exert greater effects, significantly boosting physical taijutsu.
The second level of the cultivation technique, the “Qi Transformation” chapter, involves the extraction and utilization of energy. After continuously strengthening the body, the best energy is cultivated and stored in the “Dantian” that one has opened up.
Through gradual cultivation of meridian circulation, all of one's twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians are opened up, thereby absorbing excess energy and continuously accumulating it into the Dantian. When enough energy is stored for advancement, it is then released all at once, allowing oneself to break through the original limit.
This was also the process Uchiha Tenxiu had previously cultivated.
Through the construction of the twelve main meridians and the eight extraordinary meridians, he continuously stored excess energy into his Dantian.
Normally, the Dantian stored one portion of energy, and the cells of the physical body could store another portion of energy.
This was equivalent to double the energy capacity.
Additionally, while the meridians could not store extra energy, they could continuously circulate energy, constantly refining the excess energy in the form of meridian flow, thereby allowing for uninterrupted cultivation, wasting no time. Whether walking, sitting, or lying down, Uchiha Tenxiu could improve his strength.
And now, with the manifestation of the realm he had combined, both the Super Kage Level bottleneck and the cultivation technique bottleneck were completely broken.
His cultivation technique also entered the Qi Refining Stage.
In Uchiha Tenxiu's view, this stage is similar to the innate realm in the martial arts and fantasy worlds of his previous life, where one can continuously develop one's hidden meridians and various hidden acupoints. At the same time, one can perceive and breathe in the natural energy of the outside world.
That is, to freely refine the natural energy of the outside world.
Thus, for Uchiha Tenxiu, developing hidden meridians could break his own limits and continue to increase his basic stats, opening hidden acupoints could allow him to store more energy, and perceiving nature and breathing in the outside world could allow him to delve into the natural energy of this world.
In Uchiha Tenxiu's eyes, natural energy could now not only be observed but also clearly felt for the countless classifications contained within it: the fervent impulsiveness of fire, the gentleness of water, the agility of wind, the profoundness of earth…
And that's not all.
The Qi Refining methods of the Qi Refining Stage could continuously refine one's Chakra, improving its quality to a higher level.
This Qi Refining method helped his Chakra energy to continue its fundamental qualitative change.
“In this way, I have also achieved an alternative Sage Body evolution this time, being able to absorb natural energy from the outside world anytime, anywhere.”
“Combined with my Wood Release, who dares to say I am not a true Sage Body? In fact, as my strength increases, the true Sage Bodies of the Ninja World won't even be able to compare to me!”
“Moreover, unlike the Sage Mode of the outside world, they cannot retain the absorbed energy for long and can only use it temporarily, whereas I directly refine natural energy into my body, absorbing it permanently to grow myself and maintain my continuous evolution!”
“As expected of a cultivation technique, the method of cultivation is simply wonderful. In comparison, the Ninjutsu of this world focuses too much on these branches and does not explore the most fundamental Context, nor does it delve into the main trunk of cultivation that they possess.”
Uchiha Tenxiu thought to himself, a slight smile appearing on his face as he felt the immense increase in his strength.
Now, even in his normal state, he had fully achieved Super Kage Level.
This was just after breaking through, without having undergone the cultivation and refinement of the technique, merely some initial manifestations.
If he were to settle for some time.
He would cross another level.
Now, all of his basic stats had undergone a qualitative change.
With no shortcomings, he could now, with pure Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, or any single aspect, fight against those weak Super Kage Level individuals in the Ninja World, and achieve victory through the use of sufficient means, without resorting to super-scale Chakra or numerical suppression.
Outside the room.
Even a tiny bit of the powerful aura emanating from Uchiha Tenxiu caused Karura and Yakura, who were waiting outside the door, to suddenly be startled. They thought to themselves, “What terrifying power, is this the strength that adult possesses? Power countless times stronger than the Kazekage!”
At the same time, they also understood why the Third Kazekage had them follow him, merely as attendants.
Such a powerhouse, this terrifying power, simply could not be compared to a Kage Level powerhouse.
To try and subdue him.
Even the Third Kazekage, the strongest Kazekage, probably wouldn't have the qualifications!
