Aokawa took a deep breath, drew the bowstring to a full moon, and then let go.
Hum!
The moment the bowstring vibrated, the Chakra Arrow shot out, letting out a dull roar like a sonic boom!
The fully drawn bowstring gave that Demon-breaking arrow terrifying kinetic energy; it tore through the air in its path, surging forward at high speed.
Aokawa immediately tracked it with his Byakugan.
Within a few breaths, the Chakra Arrow was already over a thousand meters away, piercing through several large trees in succession before finally embedding itself deep into the trunk of a giant tree that would take several people to encircle.
He roughly calculated the distance; it actually exceeded fifteen hundred meters!
The range had more than doubled compared to before!
A light flashed in Aokawa's eyes: "From now on, I can truly be considered to have entered the ranks of snipers in the Ninja World."
From the moment Aokawa began condensing the Chakra Arrow until it shot away, Kurenai Yūhi's gaze never left him.
He held his breath the entire time, his heart filled with shock.
"Are you sure this is just a new Move he just thought of?"
As an experienced Jonin, he could feel that beneath the highly condensed appearance of that Chakra Arrow lay extremely compressed energy.
This kind of structurally complete and energy-stable form was only seen in very mature techniques.
What was even more terrifying was its speed; after the Chakra Arrow was fired, it exceeded his range of perception in just an instant.
This meant that if he encountered such an arrow on the Battlefield, he would hardly have a chance to react.
Uchiha Tetsubi couldn't help but feel a bit bitter.
"Is this what a Genius is? Just an idea, and he can complete such a high-difficulty technique right after."
As an Uchiha, he knew that to condense Chakra to such an extent...
...the requirements for mastering Chakra shape transformation were terrifyingly high.
In the past ten years, he had also been a somewhat famous little Genius among his peers and had met many gifted people.
But none of them had given him as strong a sense of frustration as he had felt recently.
Facing the strength demonstrated by Aokawa, he didn't even feel jealousy.
Because the gap was already so large that it gave him a sense of powerlessness, feeling that he wouldn't be able to catch up in his entire life.
If a highly condensed Chakra Arrow was something he could still understand...
...then Aokawa's next actions completely overturned his understanding.
Aokawa lowered his head in thought for a moment, then suddenly lifted his foot and took a light step forward.
The next moment.
His figure blurred without warning, and then he appeared silently on a large tree several meters away.
The whole process was very relaxed and smooth, but the distance and method completely defied common sense.
"This... what kind of movement method is this?"
Uchiha Tetsubi stood up abruptly, his Sharingan automatically activating under his strong emotions.
As a member of the Uchiha Clan known for Taijutsu and agility, he knew that all movement required a point of leverage.
But with Aokawa's Move just now, no force could be seen at all, and the soft soil under his feet didn't even leave a mark.
However, this was only the beginning.
Standing on the tree branch, Aokawa seemed to find the feeling after closing his eyes and sensing for a while.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and his body leaned forward a bit.
The next moment, his figure disappeared again.
This time, it was no longer just a simple single displacement.
Instead, it was a continuous series of flickers.
His figure formed a series of blurred zigzag lines under the Gekko.
One moment he appeared in the canopy on the left, and the next second he flickered to an open space several meters away.
A moment later, he was standing on a rock.
There was no posture of physical exertion, ignoring the constraints of gravity and inertia.
As if with a single thought, everywhere in the forest was a landmark he could go to at any time.
What made the three of them even more terrified was that Aokawa's flickering speed was getting faster and faster.
His figure began to pull out clear afterimages, with several of him appearing in different positions at the same time and then disappearing instantly.
The forest was full of Aokawa moving at high speed, forming an invisible net.
Kurenai Yūhi had completely lost the ability to speak.
As a Jonin, he had seen the Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode and Minato's Flying Thunder God.
But those two either relied on terrifying physical explosive power or required special technique markings.
What Aokawa was showing now was a completely different kind of movement.
More elusive and more free.
Looking at the afterimages everywhere, Uchiha Tetsubi pushed his Sharingan to the limit.
His gaze was fixed on Aokawa, who was constantly flickering in the field, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
Even his Dynamic Vision, which he was so proud of, seemed very powerless at this moment.
He couldn't even accurately predict Aokawa's next appearance.
Because this way of moving was fundamentally different from the prediction System he had trained so hard for.
"In mid-air... a second change of direction!" The three of them suddenly let out unbelievable cries: "This... how is this possible!"
They saw Aokawa hover for a moment in the air.
Without any place to draw leverage, his body turned back in a way that completely defied common sense.
They looked at each other, their faces full of disbelief.
This completely overturned their understanding of movement Ninjutsu!
The experience of Hirenkyaku made Aokawa feel incredibly refreshed.
This way of moving, freely controlling direction and ignoring environmental restrictions, opened a brand new tactical door for him.
With a light flicker, he reappeared silently at his original position.
He turned his head and saw the three people who were completely petrified.
Kurenai Yūhi opened his mouth and only found his voice after a long while: "Aokawa... this... what is this again?"
Hearing this, Uchiha Tetsubi and Kurenai Yuhi also leaned in.
Aokawa smiled and tried to explain in a way they could understand:
"This is a high-speed Movement Footwork developed based on my Kekkei Genkai. I call it Hirenkyaku."
"The principle is roughly to gather and control the energy under my feet, and then through transporting energy, achieve instantaneous movement and changes in direction."
"Trans... transporting energy?"
Listening to this casual explanation and looking at the miraculous movement scene just now, Kurenai Yūhi and the other two felt that their worldview had been severely impacted once again.
The principle is easy to understand, but are you serious about transporting energy?
We are still struggling to improve our control over the Chakra inside our bodies, and you have already evolved to controlling the energy outside?
The gap between people is indeed larger than the gap between humans and dogs.
Aokawa looked at the three of them whose worldviews had been shaken and felt a bit amused, but he also knew they needed some time to digest it.
"How are you guys feeling?" He changed the subject. "If there's anything unusual, you should speak up in time."
"Much better now, it doesn't affect our movement," the three responded.
Aokawa nodded, and seeing that everything was fine, he found a place to lean back and rest.
Kurenai Yūhi, by the light of the Gekko, took out a map and began planning tomorrow's route.
Not far away, Kurenai Yuhi was also leaning against a tree.
Her beautiful eyes blinked as she stared blankly at Aokawa, who was leaning against a tree in the Gekko, lost in thought.
Her heart was filled with a mix of emotions.
