Kannabi Bridge, outside the base.
On a towering giant tree, a graceful figure sat cross-legged at the tip, her form as light as a leaf, swaying gently with the breeze.
Uchiha Hikari was dressed in loose, pure black practice clothes, her blue hair tied into a high, neat ponytail, her jade neck slender. At this moment, her eyes were slightly closed, her expression focused, without joy or sorrow, her exquisite face appearing even more aloof.
She had entered a state of meditation, merging with the surrounding nature, as if she were a fallen leaf, ready to ride the wind at any moment.
Thousands of meters away, Shin'yu stood in the air, ripples under his feet, watching her from afar.
Clearly, this state, different from any Chakra extraction, was the cultivation of Sage Art.
To better observe Light's Sage Art cultivation, Shin'yu fully opened his senses and even activated his Mangekyo Sharingan, the exquisite patterns spinning quietly, like a operating magic circle.
Soon, in his observation, a vague and indescribable aura appeared between heaven and earth, light and natural. It gathered into strands, surrounding Light's graceful body, sometimes turning into wisps of mist that floated into her nostrils.
In Shin'yu's understanding, that was undoubtedly Natural Energy.
Gradually, Light's aura also changed, like a secluded orchid in an empty valley, her form light and her energy pure, as aloof as an immortal descending to earth, untouched by worldly affairs.
Moreover, her appearance also underwent subtle changes.
Her black hair moved without wind, floating like ribbons, and a few purple spirit marks lit up on her fair face, like a cat's whiskers, adding a bit of enchanting beauty to her.
Clearly, the transformation was not yet complete, but this state of merging with nature did not last long.
Light frowned slightly, and the profound aura surrounding her slowly dissipated, stopping the "Sage Transformation."
Her hair fell, the spirit marks disappeared, and she returned to her usual appearance.
Light opened her eyes, looking a little unhappy.
In the distance, Shin'yu took a step, and as the ripples spread, he instantly crossed a thousand meters, appearing beside Light with a surge of wind.
"It's okay, it's already very good to have such results after only a few months of cultivation." He comforted her with a smile, gently offering his hand.
"Orochimaru only achieved results after two years of cultivation with the help of the White Snake Sage."
Light took Shin'yu's hand and stood up, "Are you sure this is Bochi's Sage Art?"
"Of course, it wouldn't buy me fake goods."
Light stared at her hands, recalling the feeling just now, and looked puzzled, "Why do I feel like I was turning into a cat just now?"
"You need to know, Bochi is a cat." Shin'yu couldn't help but pat her head.
If you don't turn into a cat, what do you want to turn into, a rabbit...?
"Shin'yu, I think this is a bit strange."
"Relax, relax, so this is what I want to do." Shin'yu said, "Only by seeing the proper Sage Art cultivation process can I understand it and summarize a path suitable for human cultivation."
"Having observed Orochimaru before, I already have some research on Ryuchi Cave's Sage Art. I believe that after seeing yours, this path will go further."
"Okay." Light nodded, seemingly understanding, she believed that Shin'yu would not harm her.
Through the cultivation just now, the Chakra in her body had indeed undergone some incredible changes. This reaction would simultaneously reflect the Physical Body and soul, and her aura would also skyrocket. Overall, she was indeed getting stronger.
At this moment, Shin'yu looked up slightly and chuckled, "Lord Madara and the others are back."
Light was a little surprised, her small mouth slightly open, "Really? Your perception reaches that far?"
She hadn't noticed anyone approaching at all.
Shin'yu nodded. After cultivating "Magnet Release," the Wind and Lightning powers within his body perfectly merged, allowing him to transform Chakra into magnetic force. This not only meant he could manipulate metal, but also strengthened the range of his magnetic field sensing.
Although that was his original intention.
However, "Magnet Release" and the powerful magnetic sensing ability that had evolved from adapting to the Flying Thunder God technique produced a wonderful reaction.
In the past, he could sense the ubiquitous magnetic fields within the universe on a very large scale, thereby understanding the distribution of magnetic fields. By monitoring the distribution and changes of charged particles in space, he could predict spatial fluctuations in advance, which was the strongest countermeasure against the Flying Thunder God.
Although he could also perceive a person's emotions by sensing the magnetic field, thereby assisting Genjutsu to achieve better control, this could only be considered icing on the cake in the face of the powerful Eternal Mangekyo Eye Power.
Originally, this was just a passive skill, and the long-range perception derived from it could only "see" but not "move."
But now, he could transform Chakra into magnetic force, thereby actively influencing the magnetic field. The effect of this was simply terrifying.
To give the simplest example, the Third Kazekage's limit for manipulating magnetic force was 2 kilometers, while Shin'yu's normal control range was several thousand times that.
The reason it was normal was because he could change the magnetic field, so this distance could continue to increase.
Shin'yu's development of this ability was far from over, because his next goal was:
To cultivate Sage Art through the magnetic field, to sense the magnetic force of nature through his own magnetic force, thereby drawing out Natural Energy and creating a Sage Art that was truly suitable for human cultivation!
Transforming Chakra into magnetism, the Physical Body absorbing the current of nature, and then connecting with the magnetic field with consciousness, connecting to the cosmic magnetic field through magnetic field rotation, endlessly, and continuously!
It sounded very dreamy, but once successful, the Sage Art cultivated would be unprecedentedly powerful!
This was also why Shin'yu painstakingly tried to refer to and observe other Sage Arts.
Soon, Madara returned with Nen, and the group entered the underground base together.
Shin'yu stood in front of the wild boar, raised his sword fingers and made a simple gesture. "Frost Descent One Heart" automatically unsheathed, circling around the wild boar like a butterfly.
"Chichichi!"
The sharp blade light intertwined into a net, and in just a moment, it dismembered it into large and small pieces of meat.
The blade was as clean and bright as new, without a trace of blood.
After the Guardian God Sword returned to its sheath, the spilled blood had already been washed away by the water. Shin'yu had already turned around to drink tea, his movements were free and skilled.
Only Light was left shaking her head and sighing, "Shin'yu is still Shin'yu."
Such delicate swordsmanship and subtle Chakra manipulation ability, even if she cultivated for another 10 years, she couldn't catch up.
Indoors, the master and disciple were drinking together, and Nen, the youngest in seniority, poured tea for the two.
"Are you sure it's okay to let Light be the chef?" Old Madara frowned, looking reluctant.
Shin'yu said indifferently, "Lord Madara doesn't trust her cooking skills?"
"It's not that I don't trust her, it's that I dare not trust her." Madara replied truthfully.
"Don't worry, I've already told her in advance." Shin'yu blinked, "No carrots."
Old Madara breathed a sigh of relief.
Nian, who was pouring tea on the side, suddenly said, "By the way, we discovered a team of Stone Ninja on the border of the Rain Country."
"Stone Ninja?"
"That's right, Lord Madara even used Genjutsu to extract information." Nian subconsciously looked at Madara, who waved his hand, signaling him to continue.
Nian cleared his throat:
"The origin of the matter is that Rain Ninja disguised as Sand Ninja attacked the Stone Ninja's base in the Rain Country, leading to a large-scale conflict between the Stone Ninja and the Sand Ninja. Afterwards, the Stone Ninja's intelligence department saw through this scheme of using one force to destroy another, discovering that the group of Rain Ninja were actually disguised Hidden Leaf Village Ninja..."
"Therefore, the Stone Ninja began to retaliate against the Hidden Leaf Village crazily, not only destroying their base, but also sending people to the border of the Land of Fire to intercept and kill Hidden Leaf Village Ninja who came to support..."
"As a result, they ran into us." Madara said lightly, then looked at Shin'yu: "This matter won't end like this, the situation will soon escalate into war. Is all of this your doing?"
Shin'yu choked, "Lord Madara, what does this have to do with me?"
"It has nothing to do with you? That's hard to say. Weren't you also behind the last Shinobi World War?" Old Madara added.
"Uh..."
"Belligerence is the nature of Ninja, it has nothing to do with Grand Uncle." Nian nodded, "Yes, that's right."
