Chapter 167 The Art of Wind Pressure
Although Orochimaru didn't understand why Akaishi was able to develop the "Air Explosion Technique" and awaken "Air Release" with it.
It's a bloodline limit, but the facts are undeniable.
Generally speaking, bloodline limits can only be inherited through bloodlines.
However, "chakra-type" bloodline limits can also be fused by the ninja himself, which is one of the important sources of the "First Hokage's bloodline limit".
The effect of "Void Release" was something Orochimaru had never heard of before, indicating that it wasn't just a name that Akaishi himself had given it that was unfamiliar, but rather a completely new bloodline limit.
Orochimaru was very interested in this and offered to help Akaishi assess the power of the "Air Explosion Technique".
At this time, Akaishi and Orochimaru arrived outside the mountain village. Akaishi then created a mirror clone. Akaishi also learned his lesson and would not use his real body to use the "Air Explosion Technique" again until a solution was found!
boom-
A series of sounds rang out as the air violently expanded and contracted. Akaishi's "Mirror Clone" had now multiplied into two, but—
They both look rather dull!
Akaishi:————
"As expected, the rapidly expanding air is very effective at dispersing smoke-based ninjutsu. Furthermore, the low air pressure at the center is aggressive, but only for a moment—"
"Akaishi-kun, the Mirror Clone technique you learned from Kagami-sensei will split when damaged, but—the two clones that appear later will still be affected. Even if they don't split to the point of being injured, they will still suffer from acute cerebral hypoxia and become confused," Orochimaru assessed.
In other words, using "Mirror Clone" is not quite the right approach.
"Wind Release plus Lightning Release, is that it? — I see. It simulates the effect of lightning causing air to expand —" Orochimaru continued his analysis.
Akashi looked surprised – lightning can make the air expand?
Of course, the ninjutsu principle of "Air Explosion Technique" does not actually create that high temperature, but directly uses "Air Release Chakra" to simulate the effect of air expansion.
Just as Lightning Release doesn't actually create the temperature and energy of visible lightning in nature, Fire Release doesn't require flammable materials to create its flames.
Essentially, "Air Explosion Technique" is a ninjutsu that causes the surrounding air to expand to its limit, with an effect similar to the sound of natural lightning.
"Considering both chakra consumption and learning difficulty—even disregarding the rigid requirement of 'Void Release chakra,' it can barely be classified as an A-rank ninjutsu," Orochimaru said after his assessment.
"A-rank? That's not bad!" Akaishi thought it was only C-rank, since it had almost no direct attack power except for extremely close-range attacks.
Orochimaru glanced at Akaishi, sensing that he didn't quite understand, and added, "Well, if the chakra consumption is even greater, it will fall into the S-rank."
Akaashi:? ? ?
Akaishi was taken aback at first, then quickly realized what was happening.
A higher level of ninjutsu isn't necessarily better!
This thing is essentially a measure of usage consumption and learning difficulty.
From the perspective of creating ninjutsu, it is actually "the lower the level, the better".
The reason why people feel that "the higher the level of ninjutsu, the more powerful it is" is because there are now thousands of ninjutsu techniques, so those low-cost ninjutsu techniques are no longer learned.
Especially for those ninjas in Konoha who have access to learning methods—
If you can learn a C-rank Fire Release large-scale ninjutsu, you'd definitely learn something like "Great Fireball Technique," "Dragon Fire Technique," or "Flame Bullet." It's impossible for you to dig out those outdated C-rank Fire Release techniques that are completely obsolete.
As a result, people usually only encounter ninjutsu that offer high cost-effectiveness within their respective difficulty levels, or at least have irreplaceable functions. They easily overlook the fact that ninjutsu level and practicality are not actually related.
The "Air Explosion Technique" is just like that.
If it were a C-rank ninjutsu, it would be the ultimate in cost-effectiveness, but now that it's downgraded to A-rank, it seems a bit "rough".
"But you don't need to be discouraged, Akashi-kun. Void Release is a ninjutsu that only you can learn, so evaluating its level now is actually meaningless," Orochimaru said calmly.
At least for now, "Void Escape" is remarkably effective in suppressing the poisonous fog.
What are the ninjutsu levels?
Currently, apart from Akaishi, there is no other person who possesses "Void Release Chakra," so there is no need to consider the difficulty of learning ninjutsu.
If an ordinary ninja suddenly acquires a "bloodline limit," they will definitely rack their brains to develop more ninjutsu, and more importantly, to branch out their lineage. As long as the inheritance is stable, a ninja clan with a "bloodline limit" will rise to prominence.
However, it doesn't seem to be that important to the Uchiha clan.
Even the "Fire Release Chakra" that frequently appears within the clan is not a big deal to the Uchiha clan!
After all, in the eyes of the Uchiha—
What bloodline limit do you have?
Is chakra bloodline limit considered a bloodline limit?
LOL —
Instead of spending time studying "Flame Release," you should study the Sharingan more!
Akaishi's "Void Escape" isn't actually very practical right now. It's nominally a kind of "bloodline limit," but—
There is only one corresponding ninjutsu.
Unless Akaishi develops more corresponding ninjutsu and forms a system, it will not be of much significance even if future generations inherit "Void Release".
"Ah! By the way, Captain Orochimaru, I also invented a C-rank Wind Release technique!" Akaishi suddenly said.
When Orochimaru brought this up, Akaishi was no longer sleepy.
The "Air Explosion Technique" certainly doesn't have much potential for widespread dissemination, but—
The "Wind Pressure Technique" is something else entirely!
Akashi felt that it was about the same level of difficulty and energy consumption as "Great Breakthrough", which is the same ecological niche as a C-rank large-scale wind release ninjutsu.
C-rank ninjutsu is also the most common ninjutsu in battle. D-rank ninjutsu is too weak and is often not as powerful as fists and feet. B-rank ninjutsu is too difficult to learn and consumes too much energy for ordinary Chunin.
"An invention?" Orochimaru was taken aback upon hearing this.
Akaishi thought Orochimaru was eager to see his results, so—
Akashi immediately formed six hand seals. Orochimaru could tell from the seals that it was a Wind Release ninjutsu, and judging from the difficulty of its release, it was indeed within the C-rank.
The next moment, Akaishi, standing still, drew his fan and swung it sharply at Orochimaru—
"Wind Release: Wind Pressure Technique!"
The "Wind Pressure Technique" is not good at attacking, and the airflow is too dispersed. Since it was used against Orochimaru, Akaishi was not afraid of causing him any damage.
The hurricane, accompanied by the fanning of the red rocks, spread over an area of about 150 degrees, creating waves all around.
Orochimaru's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this.
Orochimaru, of course, immediately recognized the effect of this "jutsu" —
From the perspective of consumption and the difficulty of casting, it may not be the most cost-effective, but it is at least comparable to the "Great Breakthrough". The key is that it is suitable for use with the "Wind Pressure Technique" now!
"Not bad, the wind angle is almost twice as large as the Great Breakthrough, and it's also more durable. Although it lacks offensive power, its effect is equivalent to 1.5 to 2 Great Breakthroughs when used to dispel poisonous fog or use the Mist Concealment Technique." Orochimaru finished speaking with satisfaction, his gaze towards Akaishi becoming increasingly curious.
"Akaishi-kun, how did you create this ninjutsu?" Orochimaru asked curiously.
Orochimaru stared intently at Akaishi, as if trying to see through his secret, but he only saw—
Akashi then revealed a deep expression, and then said righteously, "As a member of Konoha, as a member of the Uchiha clan, I am always anxious when I think of the despicable tricks of Amegakure and Kirigakure, and their covetousness of Konoha—" He also looked worried as he spoke.
Orochimaru: ————
Is this what I'm asking?
So you think Konoha needs this kind of ninjutsu, so you created it?
You've also fallen under the spell of the "Will of Fire"?
Seeing Orochimaru's strange expression, Akaishi, in order to increase his persuasiveness—
Then Akashi took out the sealing scroll.
Bang bang bang—
The three small sculptures were taken out of the seal by Akaishi.
There were three small sculptures: "the first generation with a giant tree-man behind him", "the second generation surrounded by water dragons", and "Sarutobi-sensei posing with a giant Vajra staff".
Orochimaru: ————
"At times like these, I look at the three Hokage-sama—" Akaishi said righteously.
"Alright, that's enough." Orochimaru stopped him from continuing, rubbing the corner of his eye as he spoke.
Jiraiya and Ranma were also drawn to the ninjutsu used by Akaishi.
Orochimaru then added, "This ninjutsu is quite good, especially now, it's very useful—Akaishi-kun, you can write it down on a scroll and have Jiraiya send it back later."
Jiraiya used Mount Myōboku as a transit point to send messages to Konoha over long distances, or to items like scrolls. Although this also involves constantly changing spatial location, scrolls can be "read and burned," so the consumption is not significant.
"Was that a ninjutsu you created, Akaishi? How difficult and energy-consuming is it to learn?" Jiraiya had only seen it from afar.
"Rank C," Orochimaru answered for Akaishi.
"Well done! As expected of my student, hahaha—" Jiraiya said, laughing loudly.
Jiraiya could, of course, see the effect of this ninjutsu.
Orochimaru: ————
Orochimaru felt his eyes becoming increasingly dry.
As Jiraiya spoke, he took out a scroll with a rather unusual design on the outside. The outer cover was painted with an abstract toad, which he guessed was a scroll from Mount Myōboku!
"This C-rank ninjutsu will be very important for the war to come, right?" Lan Wu suddenly said. "I estimate that thousands—no, tens of thousands—of Konoha ninjas will come to learn it!"
That's right, C-rank ninjutsu doesn't mean it's unimportant.
A rank A or rank S ninjutsu might be mastered by fewer than ten people in total, but a practical rank C ninjutsu, especially one related to the impending war, would definitely be widely promoted in Konoha. Chunin with Wind Release chakra transformation talent, and even some genin, would learn it.
Who can say that this contribution is less than developing A-rank ninjutsu?
Orochimaru glanced at Lan Wu, knowing she was trying to curry favor with Akaishi, and then gave her a sly smile.
