For Ninjutsu below A-rank, learning most of them generally doesn't present overly difficult challenges; even if one lacks talent, daily practice will eventually lead to mastery of these Ninjutsu.
Some geniuses can even master these B-rank and C-rank Ninjutsu instantly just by glancing at them.
Therefore, it can be concluded that learning a Ninjutsu is not difficult, but making that Ninjutsu powerful is not something the average person can achieve.
Of course, if a Ninjutsu is practiced until it is extremely proficient, even reaching the point of innovation, the increase is not just in the power of the Ninjutsu; one's own Chakra will also improve significantly.
Therefore, Kirito stopped worrying about the quantity of Ninjutsu during his training and began to focus on slow cultivation... Time gradually passed... In the azure sky, wisps of black smoke occasionally floated by, and from the empty mountains, the sounds of Ninjutsu explosions could be heard from time to time.
Clearly, the distant battle had entered a fierce stage, and on the other side of the mountain, brutal fighting was likely taking place daily.
And this patch of woods was equally unsettled.
Taking advantage of the fact that the war had not yet spread here, Kirito spent over twenty days practicing furiously, sweating profusely.
Most of the Ninjutsu in the notebook have been learned. According to a rough classification, Water Release belongs to Transformation Ninjutsu, such as Water Clone Jutsu and Water Body Transformation Technique. These utilize various strange transformations to catch enemies off guard and strike them when they are unprepared.
Earth Release belongs to Defensive Ninjutsu, such as Earth Flow Wall and Hiding in Rock Technique, which allows one's body to hide within rocks and move freely; this is also a form of defense.
The remaining three types of Chakra—Fire Release, Lightning Release, and Wind Release—are more straightforward, and the Ninjutsu derived from them are basically all offensive Ninjutsu.
However, the focus of these three types of Ninjutsu is also different.
Wind Release is swift and intangible, for example, Wind Release.
Whirlwind Fist, Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere. Overall, they lean towards assassination.
Lightning Release Ninjutsu gives a feeling of grand, sweeping movements, leaning towards destruction.
As for the endless Fire Release, it gives a sense of destruction.
Opening the Status Panel in his mind, his Chakra volume had grown considerably after practicing Ninjutsu, and the progress of his Five Elements Dao Arts also showed significant changes.
[Five Elements Release Techniques (Beginner)]
[Metal Release: 21.8%]
[Wood Release: 22.5%]
[Water Release: 32.5%]
[Fire Release: 36.7%]
[Earth Release: 41.1%]
His Five Elements Release Techniques were his greatest killing move. Previously, the capacity of his Five Elements Dao Arts was insufficient, resulting in a small scale even when used. But now the capacity should be adequate, and it was time to study them thoroughly.
Kirito first used all five Dao Arts once.
When Kirito used Metal Release, he felt a sense of disorientation. The scene before him became dazzling with golden light, like direct sunlight, making it difficult to open his eyes. Even with his eyes closed, merely trying to sense his surroundings with his mind made him feel dizzy.
After feeling it for a long time, he retracted his Metal Release.
On the surface, Metal Release seemed useless, but perhaps the timing of its use was simply inappropriate. If it could match the concept in his mind, he would set aside time to research it again.
Then, Kirito once again formed a hand seal with one hand, quietly recited a few incantations, and marvelous changes began beneath the earth before him.
First, a small sapling broke through the soil. Accompanied by the surge of energy from Kirito's body, the power of Wood Release quickly gathered around the sapling.
As the sapling grew, it simultaneously began to blossom and bear fruit.
As the power of Wood Release increased, the sapling was like a newborn child whose growth was put on fast-forward. After one minute, it reached maturity from infancy.
First, the main trunk grew, then the branches, and subsequently, its height increased steadily.
Starting from a few dozen centimeters, it reached about one meter high, followed by two meters, then three meters.
Kirito lowered his hand and stopped the output of Wood Release, and the large tree before him also ceased growing.
Looking around, the leaves on the branches were lush and dense, and the fruits on the tree smelled fragrant.
Although it was just an ordinary tree, upon closer inspection, the tree created by Wood Release appeared somewhat different from the surrounding trees.
Kirito had only stood under the tree observing for ten minutes when the chirping of birds suddenly sounded in his ears.
Looking up, a flock of birds flew through the jungle, neither veering nor depending on anything, and landed on this large tree. Some birds ate the fruits on the tree, while others buried their heads deep in their feathers and began to rest.
Currently, the Ninja World is filled with war; every day is dominated by the roar of Ninjutsu and the sounds of Ninja fighting.
Although this area has not been directly affected by the war, danger lurks everywhere nearby.
The birds and beasts in the forest had long since fled due to panic, yet the tree Kirito created was strange; it was still able to attract birds to rest there under these circumstances.
He raised his hand and gently stroked the large tree, closing his eyes to sense it carefully.
After a moment, Kirito opened his eyes.
Although this large tree created by Wood Release was just an ordinary tree, compared to the other vegetation in the forest, this tree gave off a powerful feeling of vitality.
This must be Wood Release.
Having gained a rough estimate of these two Five Elements Dao Arts, Kirito was ready to begin his second preparation: choosing his focus.
If a Ninja wants to grow rapidly, it is necessary to choose a direction to focus on and train diligently; this way, combat power can be quickly improved.
Considering the five types of Chakra he currently possessed, combined with the Five Elements Dao Arts within him.
The two most compatible Dao Arts and Release Techniques were undoubtedly Fire Release and Water Release. Kirito intended to combine these two Release Techniques and Dao Arts.
He pinched his ring finger and pinky finger with his thumb, holding the remaining two fingers vertically near the tip of his nose. The Opposition Seal was formed. He slowly mobilized the power of his Five Elements Dao Arts, refining this power and combining it with his Chakra.
Gradually, Kirito felt something, and twelve hand signs were formed sequentially using both hands.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
The Chakra in his body instantly transformed into raging flames, erupting from his mouth.
Following the trajectory of the Chakra output, the flames rushed forward from his mouth quickly and fiercely like a torrent of water, displaying the massive destructive characteristic of Great Fire Annihilation.
Kirito's hands continued to form seals, and the Chakra inside his body was constantly being outputted.
However, looking at the Great Fire Annihilation being unleashed, Kirito couldn't help but frown.
The name Great Fire Annihilation sounds domineering, incinerating everything in sight in the form of a sea of fire.
However, the Great Fire Annihilation currently unleashed by Kirito was only a little over two meters wide, less than three meters. This seemed quite different from the image he saw in the anime of his previous life.
Of course, it wasn't that Kirito hadn't trained hard on Great Fire Annihilation, but the difficulty in developing this technique was genuinely high.
When he first learned this technique, the width of the flame he expelled was only about half a meter wide; now it had expanded to over two meters.
This was already a significant improvement.
However, influenced by the anime scenes from his previous life, Kirito felt it was still far from enough.
Since the power of the Ninjutsu could only reach this level.
Then let's add the Five Elements Dao Arts as well.
Kirito's expression became more composed. He began guiding the power of the Five Elements Dao Arts to join the Great Fire Annihilation. When the two powers successfully merged within his body, he felt his entire body start to become somewhat hot and dry.
