Chapter 324: Time and space training, piling up tasks
Dragon Vein is said to possess endless energy.
However, when Xia Li was absorbing it, she discovered that the legend was indeed not true, because as long as it was energy, it would be exhausted one day.
Although dragon veins can be regenerated, when the speed of absorption exceeds the speed of regeneration, its infinity is no longer infinite.
Moreover, Xia Li also discovered that this dragon vein had actually consumed a lot, probably due to the consumption caused by the previous reversal of time and space. This consumption was not low.
However, even so, the energy of the dragon vein is not lacking. After Xia Li found the Greer Mine, he finally had an energy source that he could absorb.
Absorbing the dragon's veins, and then converting it into natural energy, it began to wash away his body as before the transformation, in order to achieve further breakthroughs.
Although the efficiency is a bit slow, Xia Li is not in a hurry. Nothing will happen if there is a spiritual shadow clone in the main world.
Because although it is only a spiritual shadow clone, the strength that the spiritual shadow clone can use is one of the best there, and with Sasuke and Naruto here, Konoha is ridiculously stable now.
Unlike when he absorbed the Greer vein, his constitution was still very weak, so the absorption efficiency was actually very low, and the transformation speed was also very slow.
Xia Li's current absorption speed is like a whale swallowing it, but the washing speed is even slower.
After all, his body has reached such a point that it is indeed not easy to become stronger.
A few days later, Xia Li slowly opened his eyes. He had a feeling that his body was about to reach saturation.
However, even if he is saturated, he cannot achieve a breakthrough, but has reached a perfect state. It seems that his breakthrough will probably reach another level...
"Is it the Sixth Path level?" Xia Li thought, this level is indeed not that easy to reach, but he is now confident that he can break through to the Sixth Path level after completing the fusion of the three immortal modes.
Xia Li looked at the dragon's veins at this time. Naturally, the dragon's veins still had a lot of energy.
However, if he continued to absorb it, Xia Li felt that the dragon vein might not be able to regenerate itself.
Xia Li still understands the principle of fishing in the lake. Although this is not Xia Li's world, Xia Li doesn't intend to really absorb it all.
After all, Xia Li didn't know what would happen if he really absorbed all the dragon veins. It would be bad if a big commotion was caused, so he wouldn't cause trouble to Namikaze Menma.
Moreover, Xia Li returned to his own world for the missing part of the energy. There was a dragon vein there with excess energy for him to absorb. Not only that, Xia Li felt that he might be able to change the place of cultivation to the dragon vein in the future. side.
In this way, there is no limit to the energy he needs to consume to practice the immortal mode. Maybe a quantitative change can lead to a qualitative change.
Xia Li opened his eyes, and then sealed the part of the dragon vein he had untied, and then sat down again. This time it was not to practice, but to sense the mark that he had vaguely sensed before.
After a long time, Xia Li sensed many marks, but most of them were the marks of the Flying Thunder God in this world, and most of them were concentrated in Konoha.
This was not what Xia Li wanted. Xia Li was not in a hurry to continue sensing. Since he could sense it before, he would be able to succeed now.
Finally, Xia Li vaguely sensed a mark, and then the mark became clearer and clearer.
Until the end, the mark seemed to have changed in Xia Li's perception.
Under Xia Li's somewhat surprised perception, the appearance of the mark finally changed into one that made Xia Li very familiar.
"Moon Elf?"
Xia Li murmured, so it turned out that what he sensed was not the mark of the Flying Thunder God left by him, but the moon elf?
Of course, Xia Li knew that the Moon Elf could indeed be used as his Flying Thunder God Mark, but what Xia Li didn't expect was that he didn't sense the Flying Thunder God Formation he left in that world, but instead sensed the Moon Elf.
This shows that the Moon Elf is more powerful than the Flying Thunder God Mark of the Flying Thunder God Formation!
However, Xia Li didn't think too much. Now that he sensed it, he no longer hesitated. The chakra in his body began to surge. Soon, his figure disappeared into the dragon veins, as if he had never come. More than average.
…………
In the wet bone forest, Xia Li's spiritual shadow clone was practicing there at the moment. The next moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the wet bone forest. It was Xia Li's true form.
However, from the moment the original Xia Li appeared, both Xia Li's original form and the spiritual shadow clone were directly down.
Because, at that moment, the memories between the main soul and the secondary soul began to merge. The original body had more memories of the spiritual shadow clone's training, and the spiritual shadow clone was also savoring the memories brought by the return of the original body.
Soon, Xia Li's original self and the spiritual shadow clone opened their eyes and looked at each other with a smile. At this time, everything about them was in sync again.
After that, the spiritual shadow clone disappeared in Shigu Forest. Now that the main body is back, the cultivation matters can be left to the main body. He needs to return to Konoha to deal with recent affairs.
After all, he, the Hokage, can't disappear for too long. It would be okay if it was just Nara Shikaku complaining. The most troublesome thing is that the consultants may have opinions.
The key is that Xia Li is still unreasonable...
After the spirit transformed into a shadow clone and left, Xia Li teased the moon elf who had just jumped on his shoulder. Xia Li didn't think much about the identity of the moon elf.
Xia Li also knew that the spiritual shadow clone could vaguely perceive himself in different time and space with the help of the moon elf, and that he could also perceive the moon elf after synchronizing time and space.
Yes, if Xia Li was still in the past, he would not be able to sense the moon elves. He could only sense the moon elves after returning to the future through the dragon vein.
This can show that Xia Li's perception is not enough to perceive another world across time and space without the bonus of the moon elf.
However, the deputy soul couldn't figure out what the moon elf was, and he actually couldn't figure it out either. He only knew that the moon elf was definitely not simple and should not have been created by him at that time.
However, the Moon Elf was created through his hands...
At this time, Xia Li held the Moon Elf in her hand, and the Moon Elf tilted her head curiously and looked at Xia Li, her red eyes full of intimacy.
"What else can you do?" Xia Li asked softly.
The Moon Elf seemed to think about this problem for a while. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up, he jumped on Xia Li's shoulder, and then moved Xia Li to where the Flying Thunder God was.
Xia Li paused for a moment. He had never used Flying Thunder God himself, so was it done by the moon elf?
However, this is not surprising. The Moon Elf has brought Nine-Tails out of the seal before, so the range that the Moon Elf can take people to transfer should be anywhere within sight and the place where the Flying Thunder God's mark is.
"It's very powerful." Xia Li touched the Moon Elf. It was actually not of much use to Xia Li. He could fly the Thunder God himself, so naturally he didn't need the Moon Elf's help.
However, what also works for Xia Li is the ability to move the Mark of the Flying Thunder God within sight, but unfortunately this ability requires a complete tacit understanding between him and the Moon Elf.
Xia Li didn't dare to let the moon elf use this ability easily. What if he didn't react?
If used occasionally, it might have miraculous effects. Xia Li also thought that if there was no need to throw the Flying Thunder God Kunai, then his opponent would not even be able to predict when he would use the Flying Thunder God.
After all, the biggest flaw of Flying Thunder God is the Flying Thunder God's mark. Not only can it be destroyed, but it can also tell the opponent where he used Flying Thunder God to transfer.
Of course, even if most people knew it, they wouldn't be able to react. If it could be cracked so easily, it wouldn't be the ninjutsu that the Fourth Hokage used to dominate the battlefield.
But the question is, what opponent did the Fourth Hokage face on the battlefield, and what opponent did he face in the fourth battle?
However, Xia Li looked at the Moon Elf. Although Xia Li didn't know where the Moon Elf came from, there was no doubt that the Moon Elf had a great connection with the Flying Thunder God.
Therefore, if the Moon Elf can move within the field of vision, can he also move within the field of vision without relying on the Flying Thunder God Kunai?
If it can be done, then it will usher in a transformation and a qualitative leap.
However, now is not the time to study this, nor is it the time to practice dragon veins in this world as I thought before.
Because he had to fully digest this rare harvest.
The Linghua Shadow Clone basically did not really practice when he was in the different space this time. He has been realizing the power of time and space. In fact, the Linghua Shadow Clone also encountered a bottleneck in his understanding.
No matter how much he sensed it, he never personally felt the changes in the power of space, so he was unable to break through.
The Linghua Shadow Clone has not experienced it personally, but Xia Li has experienced it personally, and he has gone back and forth twice, so the problems encountered by the Linghua Shadow Clone can be said to be solved directly after the return of Xia Li himself.
And this gain must be turned into strength immediately.
Xia Li actually had a vague idea about the next path, an idea that he had always wanted to explore but had never succeeded.
The combination of Wind Release and Space leads to a completely different path from the Wind Release Spiral Shuriken, an ultimate cutting path. Xia Li was in good condition at the moment, and without any hesitation, she couldn't wait to start practicing.
…………
Konoha, in the Hokage's office.
Nara Shikaku and Nara Shikamaru were currently dealing with official duties with their scalp numb.
After all, Nara Shikamaru is not like Nara Shikaku who can prepare everything now, and even if Nara Shikaku has arrangements with Xia Li, it is impossible for him to really use the power of Hokage as unscrupulously as Xia Li.
Therefore, Xia Li's departure made Nara and his son busy from morning to night, from front to back.
"It's true Xia Li, just throw away such a big stall..." Nara Shikamaru was so tired that he lay on the table and complained.
"Stop complaining. Being so tired is also caused by your lack of ability." Nara Shikaku was sitting in the Hokage's seat and rubbed his forehead. He also had a headache.
There were some things that he still couldn't make decisions alone. He had to wait until Xia Li came back before deciding. This was the most troublesome. The key was that some things were urgent, so he needed to have a meeting with the consultant to discuss.
In the past, when Xia Li was here, he would say whatever he said. As long as it was beneficial to Konoha, even if those consultants had different ideas, they would not say much, but Nara Shikaku could not do this.
Meetings take a lot of time to confirm the final plan, which also causes their efficiency in handling official business to slow down a lot.
After hearing Nara Shikaku's words, Nara Shikamaru couldn't refute anything. After all, when Xia Li didn't leave, he knew that although his father was not relaxed, he was not busy either, and he didn't need to work overtime overnight... …
So, is he really that bad? Nara Shikamaru is a little skeptical about life.
At this time, Nara Shikaku showed a smile in his eyes. In fact, he was very satisfied with his son's ability. The reason why he said that was just to make Nara Shikamaru guard against arrogance and impatience.
The fundamental reason why things are handled so slowly now is the problem mentioned above. This cannot be blamed on Nara Shikamaru.
Nara Shikaku feels that Nara Shikamaru will also become a qualified Hokage secretary in the future.
In this regard, Nara Shikaku sincerely hopes that Nara Shikamaru can meet a Hokage like Xia Li. If not, Nara Shikaku looks at the increasing number of documents on the desk. These documents can be enough for Nara Shikamaru and the future Hokage. Very busy.
After all, Konoha has been developing in a good direction. The better the development, the more things the Hokage has to deal with. There is no way around it.
Moreover, with Xia Li's ability, Konoha's development cannot be stagnant, so Nara Shikaku feels that the Hokage's affairs may double in the future...
By then, it is unknown how busy the Hokage and his secretary will be.
Nara Shikaku smiled. Anyway, he was probably retired at that time, and Nara Shikamaru was the one who deserved the blame. At that time, was it not good for him to follow the Sandaime Hokage and go fishing and not participate in political events?
At this time, Xia Li suddenly appeared in the Hokage's office.
After Nara Shikamaru saw Xia Li, he seemed to have seen a savior. His eyes lit up and he shouted, "Xia Li, you finally know you are back!"
"Ahem!" Nara Shikaku also quickly got up from the position of Hokage at this time, and then saw Nara Shikamaru like this, he couldn't help coughing twice, and asked Nara Shikamaru not to be too presumptuous.
"What happened?" Xia Li was a little surprised when he looked at Shikamaru, who behaved completely differently from what he remembered. Could the other person have such an expression?
"Hokage-sama, Shikamaru has nothing to do, he's just too busy." Nara Shikaku replied.
"Oh, did Shikamaru become your secretary when I left?" Xia Li asked.
"Yes."
"Oh, otherwise, Shikamaru will be my secretary from now on?" Xia Li said with a raised eyebrow.
"Let me go, I still want to relax for a few more years." Shikamaru showed his usual dead eyes and complained feebly.
Xia Li laughed twice and then came to the seat and sat down, without forcing Shikamaru to do anything.
"Hokage-sama, these are the more important and urgent documents that I have compiled recently." Nara Shikaku handed a stack of documents to Xia Li.
Xia Li looked at the thickness of the document, frowned, looked at the sky, and sighed. She probably had to work overtime today.
Then, Xia Li also opened the file and read it. It not only contained specific contents, but also Nara Shikaku's suggestions.
Soon, Xia Li completed the instructions and made specific arrangements.
At this time, Nara Shikamaru was still in the office. Seeing Xia Li completing the arrangements so quickly, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded and asked, "Don't you need to discuss this with the consultants?"
"Why do you need to discuss it with them?" Xia Li looked at Shikamaru a little strangely.
Suddenly, Shikamaru's eyes widened, and then he looked at Nara Shikaku with a bit of accusation. It turned out that the culprit of such slow efficiency was here.
Nara Shikaku also blushed at this time and coughed twice without saying anything.
"But we still need to notify them of these, Shikamaru. You happen to be still here. Take these and notify the consultants. Remember to come back quickly. There are still many things waiting to be dealt with." Xia Li handed the document to Lu pill.
"Okay." Shikamaru subconsciously took the document and was stunned. It stands to reason that after Xia Li comes back, his secretary position will automatically be gone. Why did he subconsciously agree...
However, Shikamaru looked at Xia Li and Nara Shikaku who were starting to work, without saying anything more, with a look of admiration in his eyes, and left with the documents.
This time, it was a notice rather than a discussion. Shikamaru had never fought such a rich battle in the past few days. He must feel good in front of those guys!
After working for a long time, the documents on the Hokage's desk slowly disappeared. What was left were only some documents that were not too important, and he was not in a hurry to give instructions.
Shikamaru finally understood why Nara Shikaku was able to get off work on time before. It turned out that the real efficiency was so high, although he was also helping.
But there were not so many documents in the past. Today, so many are what he and his father have left...
In fact, Xia Li also understood that Nara Shikaku's power as Hokage could not be as great as his, so he did not blame them at all. Being able to do this showed that the abilities of Nara and his son were very high.
At this time, Xia Li stretched and asked, "Is the mission report about the Dragon Vein mission here?"
"Here." Nara Shikaku quickly handed Xia Li a document and said at the same time, "The centipede in Sand Ninja Village seems to have disappeared into the dragon veins, so this mission may have failed."
< br>
"Hibizu is dead." Xia Li said directly, and then looked at the mission report, which indeed contained Naruto's experience problems, and Kakashi also saw Naruto's problems.
Nara Shikaku also nodded. Although he didn't know how Xia Li learned about it, he believed what Xia Li said.
"Shikamaru, go to the Intelligence Department and ask them to notify Suna Ninja about this matter. After notifying you, you can get off work." Xia Li said at this time.
"Okay." Shikamaru's eyes lit up, and then he ran away. It can be expected that after today, Shikamaru will probably not come to the Hokage's office again.
"Have you seen the problems with Naruto?" Xia Li asked at this time.
Nara Shikaku nodded. This is indeed a big problem. Although it can be broken through ten chapters at once, it is also a good thing if it can be understood in advance.
"Select some of the recent B-level tasks and A-level tasks for Naruto to complete." Xia Li said.
"Yes." This was actually Nara Shikaku's idea. Unfortunately, as the acting Hokage, he couldn't let the jinchūriki of the village go out to do tasks. Those old guys didn't agree.
"In addition, the restriction is that Naruto cannot use the power of the Nine Tails except when encountering dangerous situations, and Kakashi is arranged to watch Naruto." Xia Li thought for a while and then said, "In addition, let Hinata Hina Tian and Shizune should also follow.”
Nara Shikaku frowned at this time and said, "Kakashi and Hinata are easy to arrange, but Shizune is the person next to Tsunade-sama..."
"It's okay, Teacher Tsunade will agree." Xia Li said with a smile.
"Okay." Since Xia Li said so, Nara Shikaku stopped asking any more questions. He thought for a while and he had actually heard Shikamaru talk about the relationship between Naruto and Hinata Hinata.
So Nara Shikaku can probably understand the reason why Xia Li asked Hinata Hinata to follow. As for Shizune...
Nara Shikaku slowly understood and shook his head with a smile. That's it. I didn't expect that the two old bachelors in Konoha would finally be single.
But speaking of old bachelors, the oldest old bachelor is of course the Sannin, but it seems that those two are also showing signs of being single...
Nara Shikaku nodded and sighed, everything is developing in a good direction.
