When he first arrived, he had one Kakashi's worth of Chakra. After activating his Mangekyo, he had two Kakashis' worth. After receiving white zetsu cells and training for so long, enduring the muscle training of Stone Pillar Himejima Gyomei, his power increased to six Kakashis.
Moreover, with the Breathing Technique running twenty-four hours a day, Uchiha Nagi's body gradually strengthened, and his Chakra slowly increased.
Now, his reserve energy is equivalent to six Kakashis... Poor Kakashi, he had Jonin-level Chakra at twelve, grew much stronger by twenty, yet his Chakra reserves remained the same, and even approaching thirty, his strength increased, but his Chakra still seemed unchanged...
"Where is this?!" Uchiha Nagi looked up at his surroundings. He had just used his Sharingan's ability, Mind Transfer, to return to the Ninja World.
"Still the familiar scent, the aura of slaughter, like a flower about to bloom at dawn..."
Uchiha Nagi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The air here was exceptionally clear, completely devoid of any industrial smell. Although it was still a forest, Uchiha Nagi could still feel that this was the Ninja World, a mysterious sixth sense.
"From the moment I stepped into this world, I can't relax for a single step..." After a minute of reflection, Uchiha Nagi immediately used the Transformation Jutsu to become an ordinary person.
Because in the Ninja World, not only were Konoha's Anbu pursuing him, but there were also bounty hunters, such as the money-obsessed Kakuzu.
Whether eating or drinking, one must be careful, because being a Ninja is never a straightforward profession; poisoning in secret and setting traps are commonplace.
Although Uchiha Nagi himself is a Medical Ninja, he cannot guarantee he can detect all poisons. For them, it's easy to create some naturally colorless and odorless poisons, for example, Jiraiya was once poisoned by Tsunade.
Uchiha Nagi carried a package and had a nichirin blade at his waist, like a wandering swordsman. It's not strange to carry a blade when traveling in the Ninja World, even for ordinary people, but wearing a forehead protector is different; only people from Ninja Villages are allowed to wear them, which is an unwritten rule.
He certainly wasn't that foolish. As a Rogue Ninja, wearing a forehead protector with a scratch on it would be clearly telling others, 'There's a Rogue Ninja here, come catch me!' People from other Villages and bounty hunters would not mind earning some money when they saw a Rogue Ninja.
So this was also the thing Uchiha Nagi found most puzzling: why so many Rogue Ninja liked to openly display their identity... Perhaps Kishimoto was just a manga artist who dug holes but didn't fill them...
Pedestrians hurried along the road. Some villagers carrying hoes, seeing Uchiha Nagi's blade, fearfully kept their distance.
This made it difficult for Uchiha Nagi to even ask for information. Uchiha Nagi looked around and spotted a farmer resting under a tree not far away. He decided on him—
"Hello, I'd like to ask something."
"Ah... I'm sorry, I don't have any money, please spare me."
"..."
Uchiha Nagi hadn't even finished speaking when the farmer knelt down and begged for mercy, leaving him speechless.
This is the cruel Ninja World, where class is incredibly rigid. The top layer is, of course, Ninja, the middle layer consists of samurai and wild Ninja, and the bottom layer is commoners, who are often the most miserable existence.
"Sigh..." Uchiha Nagi sighed and directly activated his Sharingan to start asking questions, simple and direct.
"Which country is this?"
The villager, under the Sharingan's hypnosis, answered blankly, "This is the Land of Hot Water."
"The Land of Hot Water? So I'm here. Where's the nearest town?"
"Keep walking southeast on this road, and you'll reach it in about ten miles..."
After asking, Uchiha Nagi directly gave him a suggestion to forget this memory, then got up and left. As for not being in the Land of Fire, it was probably because his position was different when he activated his ability, so the location changed.
What Uchiha Nagi needs to do now is go to the nearby black market, gather some information, and find out how long it's been since he left Konoha, then decide what to do.
His purpose for this trip was, first, to obtain Edo Tensei, and second, to buy some Chakra metal to see if he could combine it with solar ore at the Swordsmith Village to create different nichirin blades.
The third was to gain experience by challenging some of the strongest individuals in the Ninja World and copying their skills.
Among them, Uchiha Nagi was most curious about the Raikage's lineage. Did they develop their powerful physique because they cultivated the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, or were they able to cultivate the Lightning Release Chakra Mode because they already possessed such a powerful physique?
However, looking at the entire Land of Lightning, it seems only the Raikage father and son passed it down through generations. The conservative idea of not teaching outsiders is one aspect, and the second is that the difficulty is too high; none of their own people or students who could be taught were able to learn it.
Just like the Flying Thunder God, classified as an S-rank forbidden jutsu, is it truly impossible to find a third person who learned it besides the Fourth Hokage? Probably not; the reason is still that conservative mindset: unless they are direct disciples or family, it's generally not taught to them.
And ordinary people, even if they had the talent to learn the Flying Thunder God, wouldn't have the opportunity to encounter or learn it, so it naturally wouldn't be discovered.
"However, copying from the Raikage might be difficult, because a Kage of a Village never leaves the Village casually..." Uchiha Nagi murmured to himself.
Just charge in? That's impossible. The Raikage Village isn't without a sealing squad; it's very dangerous for anyone less than a Kage-level to attack a Village.
Soon, Uchiha Nagi arrived in a town. In any world, taverns are always the best place to gather information.
Uchiha Nagi walked into a tavern where a dozen sword-wielding ronin were gathered, along with a few Ninja from small Ninja Villages wearing forehead protectors.
Everyone sat in clearly defined groups: the sword-wielding ronin formed one group, the wandering Ninja another, and a few Rogue Ninja also formed a small group.
Among them, the people around showed the most reverence for the Rogue Ninja who came from the Great Ninja Villages.
Uchiha Nagi also roughly understood why Rogue Ninja would openly wear their forehead protectors: it was a form of intimidation.
As long as they weren't unlucky enough to run into an Anbu pursuit squad, they could generally live comfortably in other small countries. And people like Kakuzu were only interested in high-value bounties; he wouldn't even bother with those that were too low.
"Shopkeeper, give me the latest bounty book~" Uchiha Nagi walked up to the shop owner, sensing that the other party possessed Genin-level Chakra.
But judging by the scars on his face and hands, his combat power should be at a Chunin level.
"Alright, customer." The shop owner happily rummaged through the counter and handed Uchiha Nagi a small booklet.
"That'll be two thousand ~"
"Okay."
