Chapter 69 A few days later, his strength skyrocketed.
A dozen days later, at a training ground, Kitahara Kaede, dressed in a tight-fitting suit and a green vest, was forming hand seals.
"Illusion, Tree Binding Kill!"
Kitahara Kaede shouted, and in front of him stood his teammate, Hinata Keiko.
In an instant, trees appeared out of thin air around Hyuga Keiko, binding her tightly.
"Break the illusion, use your Byakugan to fight it."
"This is what Kitahara Kaede commanded," he said.
Clearly, he was practicing this B-rank genjutsu, which he had just obtained through merit points, with his teammates. Kurenai Yuhi had once used this technique to try and trap Itachi Uchiha.
Of course, he used Hyuga Keiko to practice illusion techniques, and he was also honing Hyuga Keiko's skills to increase her resistance to illusion techniques.
While the Byakugan is not as good as the Sharingan in terms of genjutsu, it is still a dojutsu and naturally possesses a certain degree of resistance to genjutsu. However, unlike the Sharingan, it does not automatically grant immunity to low-level genjutsu when opened.
"untie!"
Hyuga Keiko tried to break the illusion, but it was no use; the branches remained tightly wrapped around her.
Kitahara Kaede's progress in genjutsu was incredibly rapid, as she had been Kitahara Kaede's sparring partner for the past few days. Due to her own ocular jutsu, her resistance to genjutsu was much stronger than that of ordinary ninjas, making her Kitahara Kaede's best sparring partner.
So she witnessed firsthand how Kitahara Kaede mastered this illusion technique in such a short time. Even though she knew she was under the illusion, she couldn't break free without using her Byakugan.
Kitahara Kaede's strength entered a period of rapid growth, leaving her speechless, especially since she had Byakugan and could clearly see Kitahara Kaede's chakra increasing at an astonishing rate every day.
A month or two ago, Kitahara Kaede's chakra level was at most comparable to that of a Jonin from the Hyuga clan's branch family. But now, Kitahara Kaede's chakra level is several times higher than that of any elite Jonin she had ever seen. The sheer volume of her chakra is unlike anything she has ever witnessed in her life.
Even their main family is far behind Kitahara Kaede in terms of chakra reserves.
This is cheating!
She thought about this every day. She didn't know that Kitahara Kaede had first integrated the standard bloodline of the Uchiha clan, and then fused with the nascent Sage Body of the Uzumaki clan. In terms of physique, he was simply invincible.
Under such immense chakra suppression, even a mere B-rank genjutsu was enough to completely overwhelm Hyuga Keiko, leaving her with no chance to turn the tide.
"open!"
Hyuga Keiko simply activated her Byakugan, and in an instant, the veins around her eyes bulged.
But it was no use; they still couldn't break through Kitahara Kaede's Tree Binding Kill technique.
Even with the power of the Byakugan, it couldn't be broken, which in itself represents Kitahara Kaede's extremely high level of skill in genjutsu. Not to mention that Kitahara Kaede also has a hidden Sharingan, and his eye power is far superior to that of Hyuga Keiko, a member of the Hyuga branch family.
"I can't take it anymore, I can't take it anymore." Xiang Tianyuanlong's screams came from not far away. He was facing the attack of a shadow clone of Beiyuan Feng, who was pressing him with basic Konoha Fluid Techniques so hard that he couldn't breathe.
"No, your basic physical skills are too poor."
"This is what Kitahara Kaede's shadow clone said."
Kitahara Kaede consciously sought ways to improve the strength of his two teammates.
Previously, both of them were genin, and their strength was barely at the threshold of chunin. In the entire ninja world, they were nothing more than high-level cannon fodder.
Just like the Demon Brothers at the beginning of Naruto, they were instantly killed by Kakashi Hatake.
Next, they will participate in the Chunin Selection Exam, which is much more difficult than the one he participated in before, with countless monsters in it. So whenever Kitahara Kaede has time, he trains his two teammates.
Under Kitahara Kaede's relentless training, the two quickly stabilized at the Chunin level and were moving towards becoming elite Chunin. Kitahara Kaede also taught Ayumu Genryu the Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique, Leaf Gale, and Earth Release: Heart Decapitation Technique, as he himself possessed fire-attribute chakra and was well-suited to train in them.
As for Hyuga Keiko, who came from the Hyuga clan, she was taught two genjutsu. As for other ninjutsu and taijutsu, the Hyuga clan had its own system. In particular, the Gentle Fist system had been perfected over many years by the ancestors of the Hyuga clan.
Unfortunately, she was only a member of a branch family and couldn't learn everything. Moreover, she didn't have the extraordinary talent of Hyuga Neji, who could learn how to use the Rejuvenation Technique just by watching, even without being taught.
Under Kitahara Kaede's relentless training pressure, the two improved their combat experience very quickly, and their chakra also increased significantly. In particular, they had shared a lot of money while doing missions with Kitahara Kaede, which Kitahara Kaede forced them to use to buy some medicinal herbs to soak their bodies and improve their physical constitution.
The Hyuga clan has such a prescription. Although the prescriptions held by the branch family are far inferior to those held by the main family, they are still a cultivation resource that was previously unattainable for commoners like Genryu Sōten.
The two were rapidly depleting their wealth, while their strength was also rapidly increasing. According to Kitahara Kaede's estimation, it wouldn't be long before they could reach the level of Special Jonin.
When the Chunin Exams begin in a few months, the two of them will have a good chance to become Special Jonin. That is, although they will not reach the level of Jonin overall, they will have reached the level of Jonin in some individual areas.
By then, even if the Chunin Exams are filled with powerful individuals, they will be able to protect themselves.
Kitahara Kaede, however, did not need to take those medicinal baths. After fusing with the body of a beginner Uzumaki clan sage, he had not yet reached his limit. He did nothing every day, and his chakra continued to increase rapidly.
Over the course of several days, he gained the chakra of two more elite Jonin-level individuals, bringing his total chakra level to half that of a Kage-level shinobi.
His strength has increased dramatically. Even if he faced a Kage-level powerhouse, Kitahara Kaede was confident that he could protect himself. Against ordinary elite Jonin, it would be a piece of cake.
Even with such intense training, he could continue for a whole day, then rest for one night, and the next day he would be full of energy to continue training. This is the terrifying aspect of the sage body of the Uzumaki clan.
He also secretly tested his wound healing ability. For ordinary injuries, his recovery speed was about ten times faster than usual. Minor injuries such as scrapes and abrasions would heal in a short while.
This made him yearn for it. This was only a beginner-level immortal body of the Vortex Clan. What if it were a mid-level or advanced one?
