9,000 energy crystals, plus the 990 remaining from before.
Suddenly, half of the resources needed to open the stone gate next time had been obtained.
Fighting someone with the formidable strength of the Eight-Tails has its benefits, though it was extremely dangerous, forcing him to use the Spirit Dissolving Gloves to cope.
But the harvest was several times greater than before.
He looked at the newly acquired Lightning Release Mastery and clicked on the expansion symbol following it.
[Lightning Release Mastery: Like a flash of lightning, the body moves as the heart desires. Your mastery over Lightning Release has reached the Transcendent realm. The ultimate speed is not to strike first, but to arrive later—when your sword is already sheathed, the thunder only then explodes behind the enemy. In all the world's techniques, only speed is invincible. Wielding the laws of heaven and acting as the enforcer of thunderous punishment, your Lightning Release can resonate with natural lightning, summoning the majesty of heaven. Its power is immense and carries a soul-shaking pressure; it is Heaven's Punishment.]
[Effect 1: Chakra consumption for Lightning Release Ninjutsu is reduced by 50%]
[Effect 2: Lightning Release talent increased by 100%]
[Effect 3: Mastery over Lightning Release Chakra Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation increased by 100%]
[Effect 4: Damage and range of Lightning Release Ninjutsu increased by 30%]
[Passive: Lightning Release resistance increased by 30%]
An equally practical crest.
The other numerical increases for Lightning Release Ninjutsu went without saying.
This Lightning Release resistance could greatly enhance his defensive capabilities when fighting Ninjas like Darui, the Raikage, or Killer Bee.
And since the description mentioned that Lightning Release could resonate with natural lightning, it meant he could use the lightning in the sky to boost its power, just like Raiga and Sasuke.
Kirin can finally be put on the development schedule.
Sorry! Sasuke!
I'll be the one to teach you Kirin in the future.
Hyuga Aokawa was in a great mood; he opened his eyes and stood up.
"Are you well-rested?" Minato Namikaze asked.
Hyuga Aokawa nodded. Just as he was about to speak, Kakashi and the others ran back from the distance.
Behind them, Uchiha Inabi was escorting Nii Yugito.
"What should be done with the Two-Tails?" Hyuga Aokawa looked at Minato Namikaze.
The latter took Nii Yugito from Uchiha Inabi: "She needs to be taken to the Village to await Hokage-sama's arrangements."
"Hmph! Don't even think about it!" Nii Yugito struggled, her eyes wide with anger. "Even if I die, I won't let you get another Tailed Beast."
In her agitation, the Tailed Beast Chakra on her body showed signs of erupting.
Seeing this, Minato Namikaze's hand lit up with Chakra, and he struck Nii Yugito's abdomen with his palm.
"Four Symbols Seal!"
He forcefully added another Sealing Techniques on top of Nii Yugito's original Seal.
"Whether we obtain the Tailed Beast or not isn't for you to decide," Minato Namikaze's tone turned cold.
When dealing with enemies, he discarded his usual gentle smile and became very cold.
"You can Seal the Two-Tails, but can you stop me?" Nii Yugito tilted her head back. "As a Jinchuriki, I can't escape, but I can still commit suicide and take the Two-Tails with me."
Hyuga Aokawa was startled. This woman was his military merit now; if she died on the way, his credit would be greatly diminished.
He hurriedly advised, "Your fate won't necessarily be having the Two-Tails extracted; you might be exchanged as a prisoner of war after the conflict."
"I can tell you have a good relationship with the Two-Tails, otherwise it wouldn't have cooperated with you and lent you its power repeatedly."
"You must understand that once a Jinchuriki dies, the Tailed Beast dies too. Although it will revive after some time, no one knows where it will reappear."
"At that time, it will still be trapped in a dark Seal by someone and used as a machine of war."
"But if you live, there is still some hope of being exchanged as a post-war prisoner."
As soon as Hyuga Aokawa finished speaking, Nii Yugito felt a warmth in her abdomen, and her emotions gradually calmed down.
"Then I'll take her back first; with the speed of the Flying Thunder God, it will be very fast." Minato Namikaze said, touching Nii Yugito before vanishing.
The moment he left, Kakashi and the others gathered around. "Aokawa, are you alright?"
Especially Kurenai Yuhi, who hurriedly grabbed the place where Hyuga Aokawa's bone had just broken, looking it over carefully.
"I've already healed myself. Don't forget I'm a Medical Ninja," Hyuga Aokawa said helplessly.
Uchiha Inabi stepped forward, looking hesitant. "Aokawa... I know it's not the right time to ask, but I still want to know. Can you tell me how you know our Uchiha Clan's Great Fire Annihilation...?"
Fire Release is a signature Ninjutsu for many clans in the Ninja World, with many varieties; the Sarutobi clan is also famous for Fire Release.
But aside from some common Fire Release techniques, every clan basically has its own Secret Techniques.
Like their Uchiha Clan's secret Fire Release techniques, Great Fire Destruction and Great Fire Annihilation, which are Ninjutsu mastered only by the clan's Jonin and some Genius; even he doesn't know them.
How could Hyuga Aokawa, an outsider and a Hyuga who uses Gentle Fist, know this Ninjutsu?
"Ah... that!"
Hyuga Aokawa had actually forgotten about this; when he was burning Killer Bee just now, they probably saw it when they returned from the dense forest.
That's the downside of having too many Ninjutsu; you have to be careful to come up with an explanation when using them.
"Shisui taught me this," Hyuga Aokawa said without hesitation.
"Impossible!" Uchiha Inabi looked completely skeptical. "This is a clan secret technique. Shisui couldn't possibly not know that; why would he teach you?"
"When I was on a team with him before, he used it once against an enemy. I took a glance and memorized it," Hyuga Aokawa said.
"Memorized it with just a glance?" Uchiha Inabi was even more skeptical.
Even Kurenai Yuhi felt that Aokawa's explanation was too perfunctory.
"The Byakugan can see the human body's meridians, and its insight is not inferior to the Sharingan. Isn't it unsurprising to learn a Ninjutsu after seeing it?" Hyuga Aokawa pointed to his eyes.
"Is that so?" Kakashi and the others looked at Hyuga Iroha and Hyuga Ryosuke, who were also from the Hyuga clan.
"Don't look at them; they're so immersed in Gentle Fist that they've never even looked at other Ninjutsu," Hyuga Aokawa said mercilessly.
Hyuga Iroha, as if he hadn't heard, explained: "It's not that simple. Seeing the meridians and hand signs is one thing; whether you can understand and use it is another."
"Theoretically it makes sense, but the fact that Aokawa can use it after seeing it once shows his Innate talent is superior, and others can't compare."
Is his Innate talent that good?
Do I not know whether his Innate talent is good or not?
Hyuga Ryosuke was even starting to doubt his own memory today.
How did the Hyuga Aokawa in his memory, who learned nothing fast except for picking up girls, become a hero who could go toe-to-toe with monsters?
