Chapter 200: Yahiko’s Growth (Ch 710489406)

After walking and stopping along the way, Yi Chen and his group of five arrived at the River Ninja Village without encountering any accidents.

The name of the River Country was not wrong, there was a big river running through the whole country, and the capital of the River Country and the River Ninja Village were both located beside this big river. It was just that the distance between the two was not short.

Yi Chen and his group of five were quickly stopped by a team of river ninjas.

The original River Ninja Village ninjas would not dare to intercept a team of ninjas from a great country so boldly. But the joining of the Akatsuki organization greatly increased the self-confidence of the River Ninjas.

Yi Chen found it a little amusing to see the River Ninjas who were beginning to have the confidence of a great ninja village.

The River Ninjas today should be the same as the Rain Ninjas before World War II. They think that with a strong man in charge, they can be on par with the five major countries.

However, Yi Chen didn’t care about these things and said directly to these people: “I’m here to find Yahiko, Nagato and Xiao Nan of the Akatsuki organization. I’m their friend.”

This team of river ninjas was a little unhappy that Yi Chen called their leader by his name. In their minds, their leader would be called Kage in the future.

However, since Yi Chen was a friend of their leader, they politely asked Yi Chen to wait for a moment, and then sent one person back to the village to report.

After a while, Yahiko and the other two came out in person to greet Yi Chen.

After the two sides met, Yi Chen and Yahiko were both stunned, because they both saw that the other was in the same state as themselves: quasi-shadow.

Yahiko was overjoyed and quickly said, “Yichen, you are going to become a Kage too? That’s great.”

Yahiko was more happy than surprised, while Yichen was more surprised than happy.

In the original novel, Yahiko was not at the level of Kage when he died. However, Yi Chen recalled that due to the advance of the timeline, Yahiko in the original novel might not have died at this time.

In other words, Yahiko has gone ahead of his suicidal self in the original work.

After a detailed discussion, Yi Chen suddenly realized that Yahiko became a quasi-shadow after he became the leader of the River Country and felt the pressure of maintaining the order of a medium-sized country.

Yi Chen had to say: “This is very Yayan.”

Yi Chen, Yahiko and the other two chatted as they walked, slowly strolling in the River Ninja Village that was under reconstruction.

After the group walked to the office building of the leader of the River Ninja Village, Yi Chen began to talk about business.

First, Yi Chen took out a bunch of scrolls that he had prepared long ago. These were the ninjutsu that Yi Chen had obtained from the enemy over the years and the ninjutsu that he had developed himself. Among them, the highest level was only an A-level water cutting technique and an A-level lightning stimulation technique. The others were B-level and C-level ninjutsu, but they were better in quantity.

Of course, Yi Chen had reported this matter to Ohnoki.

Originally, Yahiko and his three subordinates only had one Akatsuki organization. Although the Rock Ninja valued it, they did not regard it as an ally. But now the situation is different. The Rock Ninja cannot ignore a ninja village of a medium-sized country with a Kage-level leader.

So before Yi Chen set off, when he proposed to hand over the ninjutsu he had developed and seized to the river ninjas, Oonoki thought about it and agreed directly.

Of course, this is also related to the geographical location of the River Kingdom, which is located between the Wind Kingdom and the Fire Kingdom, and can well contain the two biggest competitors of the Earth Kingdom.

However, the River Kingdom is not adjacent to the Earth Kingdom, so the threat to the Earth Kingdom is basically non-existent.

So Ohnoki began to think about forming an alliance with the River Country.

Yahiko was overjoyed when he saw that Yi Chen had given him a lot of ninjutsu. Although their River Ninja Village inherited the wealth of the original River Ninja Village, its foundation was still too low.

Yi Chen’s move can be said to be a timely help.

After receiving the ninjutsu, Yahiko expressed his gratitude to Yichen.

Taking this opportunity, Yi Chen brought up the matter of the Iwagakure ninjas going to hold a joint Chunin exam.

After hearing this, Yahiko agreed without thinking, and said: “In this war, the Iwagakure was the first to take the initiative to end the war. We also want to go to the Iwagakure to see the style of the Iwagakure.”

“I heard that it was you, Yichen, who contributed to ending the war. Yichen, although you didn’t establish a peace organization like Akatsuki, you were ahead of us.”

“You did what we wanted to do but couldn’t do. You successfully prevented a war.”

When Yahiko said this, Nagato and Xiaonan looked at Yichen with eyes full of admiration.

This made Yi Chen a little embarrassed, his starting point was not pure. In other words, Yi Chen did play a role in this third battle, but these roles were just adding fuel to the fire.

“If Yahiko knew the truth one day, would he take Nagato and Konan with him to hunt me down throughout the Ninja World?” Yi Chen thought with a guilty conscience.

However, these are not what Yi Chen needs to consider now. The biggest goal of this trip is to complete the shield. Yi Chen called his four disciples and introduced them to Nagato and the others.

Kawakita also thanked Nagato and the others for the B-level swordsmanship they gave him.

When Changmen saw that Yichen had accepted a new batch of disciples, and after looking at the four disciples, he felt a little envious and wondered if he should also accept a few disciples.

For this purpose, Nagato also carefully asked Yi Chen several questions about accepting disciples.

The last time Yichen came to Akatsuki, they discussed a similar topic, but at that time Yahiko and the others were concerned about how to train the younger generation of Akatsuki. This time, Nagato’s questioning had a very different focus.

Yi Chen understood quickly, and after thinking for a while, he said, “Nagato, if you want to accept a disciple, it’s best to choose one with a more lively personality. You are relatively silent, and if the disciple is also silent like you, it will be more difficult for you to teach the disciple. You have to choose those students who like to ask questions actively.”

“In addition to personality, talent is also very important. Although my disciples’ grades in the ninja school were average, they all have their own specialties.”

“Especially Xiaosha, her talents are very compatible with mine, and I can help her to bring out her talents very well.”

“As for you, Nagato, it would be best if you choose students with stronger mental powers. Your power requires the blessing of the Samsara Eye, but these abilities can be taught to students. Perhaps you can find a disciple who is suitable to learn your unique ninjutsu?”

After listening to Yi Chen’s analysis, Nagato nodded, thoughtfully.

Upon hearing that Nagato was going to accept a disciple, Yahiko and Konan immediately expressed their desire to accept disciples as well, and both asked Yichen to help with their advice.

Everyone chatted until very late before going to rest.

The next morning, Nagato took the initiative to find Yichen and said he had something to tell Yichen. Yichen thought it was still about accepting a disciple, so he didn’t refuse.

After the two of them came to a training ground, Nagato said, “Yichen, since you learned Wanxiang Tianyin before, I have been studying the two ninjutsu, Wanxiang Tianyin and Shinra Tensei, since you left.”

“Based on your method of practicing Wanxiang Tianyin, I have come up with a method for practicing Shenluo Tianzheng. Would you like to try it?”

Yi Chen was confused. What was going on? Nagato was going to teach him S-level ninjutsu?

Was it to repay the low-level ninjutsu I gave him yesterday? Although the number of ninjutsu Yi Chen gave was not small, their value was definitely far less than an S-level ninjutsu.

Moreover, Shinra Tensei is an S-level ninjutsu with special abilities.

It’s not that Yi Chen hadn’t thought about learning Shinra Tensei from Nagato, but if he put himself in Nagato’s shoes, Yi Chen felt that he would definitely not show this trump card to others easily.

In order to avoid the possibility of not even having friends anymore, Yi Chen didn’t dare to mention this matter at all. But now Nagato took the initiative to bring it up.

Moreover, judging from Nagato’s expression, he had been thinking about this problem since he left last time, and it had nothing to do with the set of ninjutsu he had taught him yesterday.

Yahiko, Nagato and Konan truly regard Yichen as a friend and as one of their own.

This is what Yahiko thought when he accepted Yi Chen’s ninjutsu yesterday, and this is also the reason why Nagato wanted to teach Yi Chen S-level ninjutsu today.

“Huh~~” Yi Chen nodded and said, “Nagato, thank you. Come on, let’s try it.”

Then Nagato began to describe in detail to Yichen the similarities and differences between Shinra Tensei and Wanxiang Tianyin.

Both of these ninjutsu are related to gravity and are similar in nature, but since the Rinnegan has given them different names, they are indeed very different.

During Nagato’s teaching, Yi Chen was surprised to find that Nagato’s Shinra Tensei seemed to no longer have the limitation of time interval.

It seems that Nagato has completely mastered this ninjutsu through his research over the years.

“No wonder Nagato proposed to teach me Shinra Tensei. It turns out he has the confidence to do so.”

Thanks to Nagato’s long-term research and thinking, as well as Yi Chen’s experience in learning Wanxiang Tianyin, this learning process went more smoothly than expected.

Under Nagato’s careful teaching, Yi Chen barely mastered this ninjutsu in just seven or eight days.

However, the power of the Shinra Tensei that Yi Chen used was too weak. If Shinra Tensei was used to speed up the fired kunai, it would still be somewhat effective, but if one wanted to use Shinra Tensei to attack the enemy out of thin air, its power would be even less than that of the weakest C-class water escape technique.

What makes Yi Chen most depressed is that Shinra Tensei actually consumes a lot of chakra. The greater the power, the greater the consumption.

Nagato has chakra, so he is naturally not at a disadvantage, but Yi Chen’s pitiful chakra amount is nothing when faced with such huge consumption.

Yi Chen calculated that if he used all his strength now, the cost of performing a Shinra Tensei would be no less than that of an A-level ninjutsu, Great Water Strike, reaching a terrifying 20A.

Because Yi Chen is at the quasi-shadow level, his chakra amount is increasing rapidly and now it is around 1200A.

1200A of chakra seems to be enough to perform Shinra Tensei 60 times, which seems to be not a small amount.

However, Yi Chen has not yet fully mastered the Shinra Tensei ninjutsu, and the power he is using now is not even up to the level of a C-level ninjutsu. There is still a lot of room for improvement in power.

At that time, Yi Chen was not sure whether 1200A of chakra was enough for him to perform Shinra Tensei.

Although he taught Yi Chen the Shinra Tensei, Nagato felt a little embarrassed. He himself had no shortage of chakra, so he had not thought of this situation before teaching Yi Chen.

In addition to the high consumption, the interval between uses of this Shinra Tensei was as long as 1 minute. Yi Chen needed to wait at least a minute before he could use it again.

Therefore, the actual combat application ability of this ninjutsu is almost zero. The only advantage is that this ninjutsu, like the Wanxiang Tianyin, is an instant ninjutsu and does not require hand seals.

After all, he had learned a new S-level ninjutsu, and it was an offensive S-level ninjutsu. Although it was useless now, no one could predict what would happen in the future, so Yi Chen was still very excited and kept thanking Nagato.
