Do you even want to look at what you're doing? Is perfecting Ninjutsu that simple? Wouldn't that make us all look like idiots?
Just by simply inferring the effect of a Ninjutsu from how the injuries were caused, then deducing its principle, you directly perfected or created an S-rank Ninjutsu.
Not only was Kakashi feeling defeated, but everyone present felt like an idiot. They struggled so hard to learn a high-level Ninjutsu, and you just casually created one.
"How about it? Did you understand? This Jutsu can also be simplified into three hand seals, but you'll need to develop that yourself. My mastery of Lightning Release nature transformation isn't enough; I'm still more accustomed to the Rasengan series of Ninjutsu."
Second Body was able to perfect this Ninjutsu so quickly, naturally not because she was as much of a genius as they imagined. It was mainly because she had researched it incidentally while developing the Spiraling Compression Sphere.
However, thinking that Kakashi hadn't created it yet, she didn't directly bring it out to strike at Kakashi's confidence. Now that Kakashi had created it, she could naturally help him perfect it.
Second Body didn't feel at all that what she was doing was also a blow to others. Second Body's aptitude, enhanced by the Heavenly Restriction and Bloodline Limit transformation, had already surpassed the limits of a genius.
"Yes, I remember!" Although Kakashi was stunned, he still nodded without changing his expression. He was somewhat glad he was wearing his mask; otherwise, he definitely wouldn't have been able to maintain a calm expression.
If anyone was more severely hit, it was Obito. Kakashi at least could create a half-finished high-level Ninjutsu, while he had only learned two Fire Release Ninjutsu so far.
This time, he overexerted himself fighting a Sunagakure Chunin, and if Rin hadn't helped, he probably would have died. Although the two of them, relying on their teamwork, killed the Chunin, both of them were injured.
Second Body healed Kakashi and then checked Obito's injuries, finding that he only had many small cuts on his body from wind blades, which just looked very bad.
"Obito-哥, your injuries aren't serious. Why do you have such a dying expression?"
Second Body's words brought Obito back to his senses. Seeing everyone's gaze, Obito was also embarrassed to show his inner disappointment, so he just scratched the back of his head and chuckled foolishly.
"Ah ha, it's nothing, I'm just lamenting that Second Body's talent is indeed much better than a certain guy's. A Ninjutsu that he couldn't perfect in half a month, Second Body perfected in one glance."
Obito didn't forget to step on Kakashi to hide his inner emotions, but unfortunately, Kakashi understood him too well. In his dead-fish eyes, what Obito wanted to hide was completely exposed.
"That's right, a certain dead last still hasn't learned a third Fire Release Ninjutsu. Both are Uchiha, so why is the gap so big?"
Kakashi hit the nail on the head, and Obito was instantly reduced to zero health, immediately wanting to challenge him to a duel, but he was stopped by Rin, who had already healed herself using Mystical Palm Technique.
But facing Kakashi's disdainful gaze, he was still somewhat furious. Uchiha Obito swore that one day he would definitely defeat Kakashi and marry Rin.
Second Body healed all the injured, and then they began to return. Orochimaru, who went to pursue Ebizo, hadn't returned yet, and it was unknown if he had fallen into an ambush.
Second Body wasn't worried about the "Slithering Snake's" safety at all. Even if Sunagakure had a large army ambushing him, Orochimaru could easily escape with his snake-like movements. However, not having returned for so long, he was clearly entangled.
In the original work, besides being completely restrained by Itachi, the "Slithering Snake" rarely faced life-and-death crises. The current "Slithering Snake" is not yet in his complete form and cannot be revived with just a wisp of a remnant soul.
The captured Sunagakure personnel had no intention of escaping and were just being obediently escorted. Minato Namikaze had already notified Konoha to send people to receive the prisoners.
Second Body didn't care about the other Sunagakure ninja, but she wanted to keep Pakura for researching the Scorch Release Bloodline Limit and couldn't let her return to the Village to be tortured by that pervert Ibiki Morino.
"How about it, Miss Ye Cang? You lead the way for us, bypassing Sunagakure's defenses and going to Lou Lan. I also won't let them interrogate you, how does that sound?"
Second Body knew that to reach Lou Lan behind the Land of Wind, they had to pass through Sunagakure's heavy defenses, and infiltrating behind enemy lines was still very dangerous.
It wasn't dangerous for Second Body and Minato Namikaze, but it wasn't certain for Kakashi and the others. Second Body had actually suggested that Kakashi and the others stay at the front lines, but Minato Namikaze refused.
Minato's reason was that with the two of them there, they could protect their safety, but staying on the battlefield, that was uncertain.
Pakura lowered her head, pondering Second Body's suggestion. She really didn't want to go to Konoha and be interrogated. Moreover, going to the Land of Wind, her chances of escaping were much higher.
"Okay, I promise to take you to Lou Lan, but you must restore my Chakra, otherwise I cannot lead you through the defenses."
Pakura bit her lip tightly. She knew that doing this was somewhat betraying her Village. Konoha might ask her to help scout the defenses to conquer the Land of Wind's territory.
"Yo Xi! Working for Konoha, big benefits, you understand?"
Pakura didn't understand what Uchiha Ling was rambling about, but she still understood what she was trying to express.
"By the way, if Sunagakure loses this war and I capture Rasa alive, do you want to become the Kazekage? My Konoha can support your ascension. Those who don't comply, die! Those who obey, Konoha can station troops and provide protection."
Second Body intended to probe if Pakura had ambition. If she did, that would be best. The position of Kazekage, giving it to the simple and easily deceived Pakura would be better than giving it to the cunning and despicable Rasa, wouldn't it?
"Kazekage?" Pakura lowered her eyes. She had once thought about competing for Kazekage, but her political maneuvering skills were no match for Rasa, and she didn't have the Magnet Release that represented Sunagakure, so she failed without exception.
Now, she didn't want to be Kazekage, nor did she have any other goals. She was extremely confused. She couldn't quite see the future of Sunagakure. Could Rasa, who pushed Sunagakure into the whirlpool of war, truly lead Sunagakure to prosperity?
Ever since learning of the Third Kazekage's death, and the news that he died at Sasori's hands, Sunagakure had a subtle feeling of falling apart. Without Chiyo and Ebizo to manage the overall situation, they had been vying for power for over half a year.
The so-called elders and even the acting Kazekage only cared about their own power and the stability of their positions, disregarding the Village's interests and pushing everyone into the quagmire of war.
If Pakura were a transmigrator, she would probably lament, "When did the Six Dynasties become merely private interests of factions!"
Now, Sunagakure's vanguard forces were almost completely wiped out. Although the Village could still mobilize five thousand ninja, could they truly defeat Konoha, which had Uchiha Ling and many other strong individuals?
"It seems you don't want to be Kazekage. Originally, if you wanted to, I could have found a way to enhance your strength. What a pity."
Second Body's hope of propping up a puppet regime was somewhat shattered. Although she could make Pakura agree through a series of overt and covert schemes, Second Body was too lazy to waste time.
