The camp at the Battlefield of Tono Country was brightly lit.
Aokawa sat cross-legged on his camp bed, his consciousness immersed in his Sea of Consciousness.

[energy crystal *15,000]
Lightning Release Chakra Mode?
It finally dropped from that kid, the Fourth Raikage A.
With this, offense and defense are integrated. It even comes with a Lightning Release Body Flicker Technique, and when added to Hirenkyaku...
As long as he doesn't run into someone like Madara who is a level above him, he can now walk tall among those at the Kage level.
He opened his personal information panel.

He had 1,000 energy crystals left from last time, plus the newly acquired 15,000, making a total of 16,000.
He planned to set this part aside for now.
When he returned this time, he first had to deal with the Caged Bird Seal on Hyuga Fū and his grandmother.
As for a way to solve the curse mark on the Soul, he intended to use Soul Distribution to smooth out the Caged Bird Seal curse mark.
energy crystals could be used as a substitute for Soul fragments to perform Soul Distribution, though he didn't know the exact consumption rate yet.
Next, he opened the description for Wind Release Mastery.
[Wind Release Mastery: Exquisite and subtle, nothing cannot be severed. Your Wind Release has been refined to the extreme; where its edge reaches, it can cut through metal and stone, part flowing water, and even slice through Chakra and light. A wisp of breeze is the sharpest blade in the world.]
[Effect 1: Chakra consumption for releasing Wind Release Ninjutsu is reduced by 50%]
[Effect 2: Wind Release talent increased by 100%]
[Effect 3: Mastery over Wind Release Chakra Nature Transformation and shape transformation increased by 100%]
[Effect 4: Wind Release Ninjutsu damage and range increased by 30%]
[Passive: Wind Release cutting power increased by 30%]
Aokawa glanced at it; the bonuses were fairly standard.
Just then, a new line of text appeared.
[You have mastered the Ninjutsu of the Five Elements: Wind, Fire, Lightning, Earth, and Water. Your understanding of Ninjutsu has reached the pinnacle Realm. You have obtained a new Ninjutsu crest: Envoy of the Five Elements.]
Envoy of the Five Elements?
Aokawa looked at the new crest and quickly clicked on it.
[Envoy of the Five Elements: The Five Elements rotate and return to one heart. You have surpassed the mastery of a single element and reached the original Realm of insight into their mutual generation, restriction, and endless flow. With every gesture, the power of the Five Elements moves with your will, resonating and coexisting, capable of creating within destruction and triggering annihilation within stillness. You are a walking Law; where you stand is a place of elemental balance.]
[Effect 1: All Ninjutsu damage and range increased by 20%]
[Effect 2: Resistance to Five Elements Ninjutsu increased by 20%]
[Passive 1: Elemental Annihilation. Any of your nature transformation attacks will exert "Law Suppression" on the enemy's same-type nature transformations. When an enemy uses defensive or offensive Ninjutsu of the same attribute as your current attack, their Ninjutsu's effect and intensity will be weakened by 30%. Your resistance to composite Ninjutsu is increased by 15%.]
[Passive 2: Elemental Fusion. Greatly enhances the Fusion of two nature transformation Chakras; composite Ninjutsu Fusion increased by 35%.]
Holy crap!
This thing dropped too?
The other things were unremarkable.
But this last one, Elemental Fusion, is really something.
With this, I can try to work on composite Ninjutsu.
Knock, knock, knock.
The urgent sound of knocking broke the silence.
"Come in," Aokawa said, opening his eyes.
Hyuga Ryosuke pushed the door open and entered. First, he poked his head in to look around, making sure there were no outsiders. Then, he quickly locked the door behind him and even made a point of sliding the bolt.
This guilty, suspicious behavior made Aokawa's brow twitch.
Hyuga Ryosuke turned around, rubbing his hands together. With a bit of bashfulness and heat on his face, his eyes wandered: "Aokawa, I have something to tell you."
"Just say it," Aokawa shrank back slightly. "Why did you lock the door? I'm not into guys."
"What are you thinking!" Hyuga Ryosuke rolled his eyes, pulled over a chair, and sat on it backward, resting his chin on the back. "I'm here for something serious this time."
"Don't say things that could be misunderstood," Aokawa poured a glass of water. "What do you mean 'this time'? I haven't done anything improper before either."
"Don't interrupt." Hyuga Ryosuke dropped his playful grin, his expression becoming unusually solemn.
He stared straight at Aokawa, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I want to learn that thing of yours."
"Which thing?"
"That light bow." Hyuga Ryosuke made a gesture of drawing a bow, a fanatical light shining in his eyes. "On the Battlefield, you were an army of one. That method of condensing Chakra into a bow and arrows... it's too cool."
Recalling that Rain of Light filling the sky and the image of arrows washing over the ground, Hyuga Ryosuke felt the blood in his body burning.
They were both from the Hyuga Clan, both had the Byakugan, so why was the gap so large?
Aokawa put down his water glass, his fingertips tapping lightly on his knee.
"That's not an ordinary Ninjutsu." Aokawa shook his head. "In essence, it's about highly compressing external Natural Energy and your own Chakra to construct Reishi weapons."
"Nonsense, tell me something I don't know." Hyuga Ryosuke leaned forward. "If it were simple, would I even be here asking?"
"The difficulty lies in control."
Aokawa held out his hand, palm up. A clump of pale blue light gathered in his hand, then pulsated like breathing.
"To achieve this, the meridians, Physique, and even the Soul require a specific adaptability. I can wield this power because I awakened a special Bloodline Limit."
"Bloodline Limit?" Hyuga Ryosuke was stunned. "The Hyuga Clan has something other than the Byakugan?"
"Atavism, mutation, or just luck, who knows," Aokawa made something up on the spot.
Hyuga Ryosuke grit his teeth. "Then how can one awaken such a Bloodline Limit? Medicine? Surgery? Or..."
