Chapter 126: The Weakness of the New Tactics
As soon as Hideki finished speaking, the small holes on the three outer sides of the eight boundary stones instantly ejected a large amount of chakra tail flames.
Driven by the powerful reaction force, the entire cubic barrier quickly shrank towards the center.
The high-concentration chakra barrier was compressed again, making a sound similar to breaking glass.
In less than a few seconds, the original huge barrier disappeared, leaving only a cube composed of eight square boundary stones floating back to Hideki's hand.
"Hideki, your demonstration is too dangerous. Aren't you afraid of killing me?"
Without any warning, Minato appeared next to Hideki again and said speechlessly.
Hideki spread his hands and said calmly:
"Just now, Minato, you printed the Flying Thunder God Technique all over the place, and this World Annihilation Formation will take several seconds to activate."
"If you can't escape even with this, then I think you need to practice your Flying Thunder God Technique. It's not time to test its actual combat effectiveness yet..."
"Not to mention that my barrier doesn't have the function of prohibiting space-time ninjutsu, otherwise I wouldn't do this."
Minato was slightly stunned when he heard this, then he became serious and suddenly realized a problem of his own.
It seems that even I am not immune to this.
Because he had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, he felt that he could come and go freely no matter what happened, so he became a little careless.
He knew it was a barrier technique, but he still dared to drill into it, even forgetting that there might be a function that prohibits time and space ninjutsu...
Although this situation may not happen at the beginning, once the information that you have mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique is exposed, you may really be targeted like this.
Did Hideki do that on purpose just to remind himself of this?
Minato then said with gratitude:
"Thank you, Hideki. I won't be careless again in the future."
When Hideki heard this, a bunch of question marks suddenly popped up in his mind.
He had never expected that his petty actions could bring such profound insights to Minato.
But since the other party thanked him, Hideki naturally accepted it with a smile, and said with a look of satisfaction that the young man was teachable:
"Minato, as long as you understand..."
Now that they have revealed their cards to each other, it is time for the formal competition.
After a short rest, the two began to hone their skills with the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Barrier Technique...
…
In the morning, deep in the Konoha Forest.
Several blue streaks of light and a flash of yellow were chasing each other among the branches and leaves of the trees like shooting stars chasing the moon.
Especially those blue streams of light, which sometimes disperse into stars, sometimes connect into lines, and sometimes condense into walls. The variety of patterns is so dazzling.
Even though it was a yellow flash that was as fast as lightning, Minato, who always had a strong spatial thinking ability, felt a little tired to be honest.
Because he not only has to determine the locations of these boundary stone floating cannons, but also has to pay attention to and be wary of the chakra lines and chakra barriers that may appear between them at any time.
With each additional boundary stone, the complexity of this calculation increases exponentially.
So even though Minato had already begun to perform the Flying Thunder God Technique, he did not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Or rather, it should be said that it was precisely because he was performing the Flying Thunder God Technique that Minato was even more cautious.
Because once used, the spatial relationship between himself and all boundary stone floating cannons will be completely changed, and all previous calculations will have to be started over again.
So Minato had to think ten steps ahead and could only teleport after calculating everything.
To be honest, if it wasn't for the purpose of honing the Flying Thunder God Technique, it would have been easier for Minato to deal with it using the Instant Body Technique.
But this is also the significance of this exchange and practice.
This made Minato feel fortunate that it was a wise decision to invite Hideki to compete with him.
Because under such harsh and high-pressure conditions, Minato, as the son of prophecy...his father's talent also began to be squeezed out.
Not only is his proficiency in performing the Flying Thunder God Technique improving by leaps and bounds, but his already extraordinary spatial thinking ability is also steadily improving.
But even so, he would occasionally fail to calculate properly and end up crashing.
Fortunately, Hideki was very thoughtful and built a kindness technique mode into the boundary stone floater.
Don't be fooled by the fact that those chakra lines cutting trees look so fierce. In fact, once they touch other people's chakra, they will quickly reduce the chakra output, making the chakra lines harmless to humans and animals.
After more than two hours of on-and-off sparring, the score between Minato and Hideki is currently five to four.
He broke through the siege and encountered Hideki five times, and was "killed" by Hideki four times.
Of course, this only represents the victory or defeat between him who only uses the Flying Thunder God Technique and Hideki who only uses the Star Barrier Technique.
If he uses all his skills, Minato is still confident that he can defeat Hideki...
Gamabunta: I heard someone is playing with barrier techniques, can you show me one?
Of course, even if he didn't rely on summoning to bully Hideki, Minato would still be sure of victory.
Because as he sparred with Hideki, he gradually discovered many flaws in the Star Barrier Technique.
The first is the problem of control distance that every puppeteer will face.
Although Minato found through testing that the range of the boundary stone floating cannon was incredibly long, they could still follow him even when he ran more than a hundred meters away.
But once they are far away from Hideki, their flexibility will drop drastically, making it difficult for them to cause him much trouble.
At the same time, the farther the boundary stones are from each other, the lower the strength of the chakra lines and barriers formed will be.
Generally speaking, if it is longer than five meters, it can be easily cut off by a kunai that is condensed with chakra.
Of course, Minato highly suspected that Hideki just wanted him to think this way, and actually had some energy left.
Therefore, he didn't dare to go to such extremes. If he really wanted to make a breakthrough, he would choose a longer chakra line.
Of course, this Star Boundary Technique has a biggest weakness...
Just as the battle was going on, the boundary stone floating cannons suddenly called off their operations and floated back to Hideki.
here we go again.
Minato smiled helplessly, and instantly came to Hideki's side, took a scroll-shaped chakra capacitor handed over by Hideki, and began to inject chakra into it.
The reason why he was so skilled was because he had already performed this process five times...
"Hideki, your chakra capacitance is really low."
"If we can't resolve this quickly, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out for long."
"There's no other way. The barrier of the barrier technique needs to be condensed with high concentration of chakra, which consumes a lot of chakra."
Hideki shrugged and spread his hands,
"And the biggest problem is the lack of materials."
"It's OK to use ordinary materials, but the rune spells have to be drawn larger, otherwise the materials won't be able to bear it."
"But the chakra capacitor will be too bulky and will seriously affect its mobility."
"This thing can't be placed in a storage scroll like a nesting doll, so if you want to use it in actual combat, you still have to use those precious materials."
"But this kind of material has always been in short supply. I had to collect some with great difficulty to barely make these capacitors."
"Otherwise, if we can build a small capacitor into the boundary stone floating gun instead of relying solely on chakra lines for long-distance transmission, then the effect of this star barrier technique will be greatly improved."
The material that Hideki used to create the capacitor was actually the fragment of the Thousand-Armed Giant Buddha that he had found in the Valley of the End.
Because he is busy with many tasks this semester and is also offered a high reward by Sunagakure.
Therefore, Hideki has very few opportunities to win prizes in the Valley of the End, and naturally the rewards are also small.
By the end of the semester, all I had gotten were three fist-sized pieces of Buddha statue and some chakra plants of little use.
However, with the increase in strength and the gap in materials needed to create more chakra capacitors, it is imperative to increase investment in exploring the Valley of the End.
Hideki shook his head slightly, putting these thoughts aside for the time being, and said to Minato:
"Besides the chakra capacitor, I don't actually have much chakra left."
"So the next step is the last competition..."
