Fire Release: Phoenix Flower - 36 fireballs, under Taiichi's control, split into two groups and attacked Yangping and Saori one after the other.
Compared to the fireballs of the past, this fireball was noticeably different. Its bright appearance was accompanied by an even more intense heat. Even before the fireball reached them, Yohei and Saori could feel the scorching temperature.
"We must not let the fireball get close." The two thought to themselves and did just that, quickly dodging to the sides.
However, this was all in vain. Taiyi maintained the hand seal, and the fireball he released drew a dangerous arc as it chased after the two of them.
The sound of fireballs hitting the ground followed closely behind the two, and scorching waves of air licked their backs. The intense heat forced them to exert their fastest speed.
When the last fireball landed, Yangping and Saori were finally able to catch their breath. Looking back at the route they had taken to escape, they saw that the ground was riddled with holes about half a meter wide, and at the edges of the holes, scorching lava was flowing down the walls to the red-hot bottom.
Yang Ping's pupils shrank sharply. Was this still the power of a fire-style ninjutsu? Ordinary fire-style ninjutsu might only cause burns, but Taiyi's fire-style ninjutsu would burn a person to ashes.
However, Taiyi didn't give the two time to be amazed. He used his Instantaneous Movement Technique and closed in on the shocked Yang Ping in an instant. With the momentum of the high-speed attack, he easily suppressed Yang Ping with his short sword.
This rapid-fire fighting style was completely different from Taiichi's previous fighting style, but it was more suitable for Taiichi's current high-speed movement. If it weren't for Yangping's powerful dynamic vision thanks to his three-tomoe Sharingan, he would be having a hard time even parrying.
At this moment, Saori on the other side was also at a loss. Compared to Yohei, who could still see clearly, Saori could only see a blurry figure moving quickly around Yohei, and knew nothing else.
In a situation where you can't even see clearly, there's no way to go forward and help.
Helpless, Saori could only keep releasing lightning orbs around Yangping, hoping to limit Taiyi's range of movement by scattering electric arcs in all directions.
This did indeed cause Taiichi some trouble. He stopped entangled with Yangping and changed his target, rushing straight towards Saori, who was assisting him.
Saori clearly understood that her taijutsu was no match for Taiichi. As she retreated rapidly, she quickly formed hand seals, using Lightning Release: Lightning Net.
A ball of lightning was thrown by Saori, and after flying a meter, it exploded in mid-air, transforming into a huge network of lightning that enveloped Taiichi, attempting to hinder Taiichi's actions: Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.
Faced with this wide-ranging lightning ninjutsu, Taiichi did not try to withstand it head-on, but instead used wind jutsu to break through it. The strong winds effortlessly dispersed the incoming electric net.
Without pausing for a moment, before Yangping could catch up, he darted behind Saori like a ghost, and with a swift stroke, knocked her unconscious with the back of his blade before she could even react.
"Saori!" Yangping, who was halfway through the rescue, saw this scene and his heart sank to the bottom. Neither of the two of them could defeat the enemy, and now there was only one left. Wasn't there no hope at all?
Taiichi didn't give him a chance to think. The moment he finished off Saori, he immediately started forming hand seals towards Yohei.
Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.
The fierce wind was like a giant hammer, mercilessly hurling Yang Ping away halfway. When he groggily stood up again, a short knife was already at his neck.
Ten minutes later, the three of them, having finished cleaning up the area, sat together and discussed the battle that had just taken place.
"Through the battle just now, I believe everyone has gained a corresponding understanding of their own abilities." As the strongest person present, Taiyi spoke first.
Yangping and Saori both nodded in agreement. Indeed, they had just given it their all, but they didn't know how much of their strength Taiichi had used.
"Yohei, during the previous battle, your Sharingan could actually see my movements, but your body's reaction was always a beat too slow." As he spoke, Taiichi suddenly punched Yohei.
The sudden movement was clearly unexpected by Yangping, and his Sharingan instantly captured the trajectory of the fist, but his body was a moment too slow to dodge.
At this moment, Taiyi's fist had stopped at Yangping's nose.
A bead of cold sweat slid down Yangping's forehead, but before he could utter a complaint, Taiyi's words continued.
"Look, your eyes see it, your brain wants you to hide, but your body isn't keeping up."
"What should we do then?" Saori asked before Yohei could finish. "Taiichi, I can't even see your movements clearly."
I know of two ways to solve this problem.
Upon hearing Taiichi's answer, Yohei and Saori immediately perked up their ears and sat up straight.
"The first and most orthodox way is to improve physical fitness."
"Ah, this is too slow to take effect. I wonder how long it will take to train." Yang Ping was a little discouraged when he heard this, but then he thought, Taiyi is so young and yet he has such great strength. Could it be that he has some special method?
"Taiyi, do you have some unique method to improve your body's reaction speed?"
Taiyi rolled his eyes and couldn't help but scoff, "You're dreaming. Of course, you can only learn this through your own training."
Upon hearing this answer, Yangping, who had initially thought Taiyi had a shortcut, immediately became dejected again.
"However, I do have a set of training methods that I've developed myself, which are very effective in improving physical fitness. I can teach them to you."
Just when things seemed hopeless, Yangping was suddenly energized again.
"Taiichi, really?"
Are you really willing to teach us?
"Could this be some kind of secret technique?"
Yang Ping's three consecutive rhetorical questions truly reflected his surprise. You must know that in this era, such unique forging methods are the secret techniques of each family, and they have always been kept closely guarded secrets.
Saori, standing to the side, was the same, her longing eyes fixed on Taiichi, filled with hope.
"Yes, this mission has made me realize a lot of things. We are friends and comrades-in-arms. On the battlefield, only when you all become stronger can I be safer."
Taiyi looked at the two of them and solemnly expressed his thoughts.
"Taiyi~~" Yangping was speechless for a moment, clearly moved by Taiyi's words. "Taiyi, don't worry, I will not teach it to anyone without your permission, not even the family."
Saori nodded in agreement.
Taiyi trusts them, values them, and is willing to teach them his unique training methods; they cannot be ignorant of this.
"Haha, let me tell you another way to improve reaction speed!" Taiichi was also happy and continued, "You could learn this from Saori, but as for Yohei, it depends on how you develop in the future."
"Oh, what method is it?" Saori asked curiously after hearing Taiichi's words.
"By stimulating and activating muscles with lightning-attribute chakra, we can comprehensively improve all aspects of the human body's qualities, including reaction speed."
"Of course, this is a very delicate skill. Saori, you are a lightning elementalist, so you can ask your family if they have any records of this."
Saori nodded seriously after listening. She vaguely remembered hearing her father mention similar ninjutsu before, but it had been so long that she couldn't remember it. She would ask her father about it when she got back today.
"Ah! I'm a fire elementalist. If this method really works, should I also learn a lightning elemental transformation?" Yangping said, troubled.
Taiyi stood speechlessly by Yangping's side and mercilessly retorted, "You should practice your Fire Release ninjutsu first before talking about anything else."
Upon hearing Taiyi mention Fire Release, Yangping immediately became interested. "Taiyi, what's the deal with your Fire Release? I've never seen your Fire Release so hot before!"
"It depends on each person's understanding of chakra nature transformation. My understanding of fire-style nature transformation is high temperature. So during this period, I have been going to the blacksmith shop to experience the high temperature of the flames. With my own forging, the temperature of the fire release gradually increased."
Taiyi shared his Fire Release training methods without reservation, and also shared his insights on nature transformation training. It was truly a hands-on teaching experience.
But as everyone knows, understanding the nature transformation of chakra is a very personal matter. The same attribute can be interpreted in ten thousand different ways by ten thousand different people. Even something as simple as high temperature can be interpreted from different perspectives by different people.
This is why Madara Uchiha's Fire Release technique is a sea of flames, while ordinary ninjas can only use small fireballs.
Yangping and Saori listened intently. They could never get enough of these explanations of chakra nature transformation; people often gain the latest insights from the narration of others.
Especially for someone like Taiichi, who has unique insights into the nature of change, the two of them gained even more.
"Alright, that's about it. Now I'll teach you my training methods."
With that, Taiyi stood up and went to the center of the field.
Taiyi was going to teach the two basic physical techniques that he had long since discarded, focusing on the fighting and training methods. This alone would greatly improve their combat and training efficiency.
It's not that Taiyi doesn't want to teach more, but considering his current strength, what he teaches can still be considered Taiyi's own experience summary. If he were to teach more, it might attract the attention of some monsters and demons.
Ultimately, Taiyi must ensure his own safety first.
The rest of the time was spent teaching the two basic physical techniques.
Unlike regular taijutsu training, this one requires the use of many different power generation techniques. Even the Sharingan clones of Yohei didn't have much effect. It took the two of them a whole day to finally understand the secrets of this basic taijutsu.
It was only then that the two realized how precious the training method Taiyi had taught them was, and they felt a deep sense of gratitude.
The following day, at 2 PM.
After finishing his morning workout, Taiichi went to the street and bought a lot of snacks, such as tricolor dumplings, dorayaki, tempura, and sushi. He brought a whole bag of them to the orphanage.
Taichi felt ashamed that he hadn't visited Nono and the others at the orphanage since he returned.
Knocking on the orphanage door, light footsteps soon came from inside.
-
"Who is it!" Yamei's clear and melodious voice came from behind.
"It's me, open the door." Taiichi deliberately lowered his voice, wanting to tease Yami.
"Ah!" came a gasp.
Taiichi was still wondering why Yami would make such a surprised exclamation.
"It's Taiichi-nii-san!"
The courtyard gate suddenly opened, and an elfin-like figure darted out and pounced on Taiyi.
Taiichi patted Yami's head, feeling her closeness to him, and a warm joy welled up in his heart.
"Yami, have you been behaving well lately? Have you been listening to the headmaster?"
Taiichi led Yami into the courtyard.
"Of course she's good, Yami is the best girl."
At this moment, everyone in the courtyard heard the commotion and rushed over to surround Taiyi, talking to each other.
"Brother Taiichi, what's in your bag?" Yami stood on tiptoe, her little hands curiously rummaging through the bulging bag. She had noticed Taiichi's bag a while ago, and now she couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.
The other children immediately quieted down, and more than twenty pairs of bright eyes stared at the mysterious bag.
Taiichi deliberately held the bag high, watching the children crane their necks like a flock of hungry chicks, and finally couldn't help but laugh: "It's tricolor dumplings, dorayaki, and—"
As he spoke, he deliberately dragged out his words, making the children anxious and tugging at his clothes.
"And tempura and sushi, all our favorites!" The mischievous Jiang Tai suddenly shouted, his nose twitching like a puppy's. "I smell fried shrimp!"
The yard erupted in cheers, with the children surrounding Taiichi even closer and chattering about the snacks they wanted.
"Alright, everyone line up, don't crowd around Taiyi." At this moment, an old lady came out of the house and came over to maintain order as Taiyi was surrounded in the middle.
The children clearly respected the old lady, and they lined up under her guidance, taking turns to receive their favorite snacks from Taiyi and enjoying them on the side.
"Grandma Keiko, what brings you here today?" Taiichi asked the old woman, puzzled.
"It's because Nono had to go out, so she called me here to watch over the orphanage. If these kids aren't supervised, they'll probably tear the roof off," Grandma Keiko said with a smile, her face full of kindness.
"Oh, Nono-neechan went out. Did she say what happened? When will she be back?" Tai asked curiously, but his heart sank slightly.
"She's been gone for about half a month now. Judging by the time, she should be back in the next day or two. You know that Nonoyu used to go out for a while from time to time, so I didn't ask her any questions." Grandma Keiko answered Taiichi while busy picking vegetables.
At this moment, Taiichi became even more certain of his guess. Nono must have been called to carry out another spy mission for Root. However, now that the orphanage was not short of money, Nono still had not broken free from Root's control.
Taiichi felt a sense of powerlessness. His current power was too small to influence the decisions of those above. He didn't even know the specifics; he could only wait for Nonou to return and ask her.
Thinking it over, Taiichi stepped forward without making a sound and helped Grandma Keiko pick vegetables, chatting about the various interesting things that happened to him after becoming a ninja.
Taiichi spent that day at the orphanage, chatting and playing with the children.
He would also occasionally use some minor ninjutsu, relying on his superb chakra control to transform into a fire bird one moment and conjure a mini water dragon the next. This amused the group of children, who exclaimed in envy.
"I want to learn this too." Yamei waved her arm, trying to touch the little dragon flying in the air.
"Yami, you'd better train your body well and learn more knowledge so you can learn this when you become a ninja!" Taichi guided her from the side.
"Yes, I will."
"We want to become ninjas too, to be ninjas like Taichi-nii."
The joyful time passed by in the blink of an eye. Taiyi played with the children, ate with them, and then spent a lot of effort coaxing them to sleep.
Just as Taiichi was about to leave, the orphanage gate was quietly opened.
