Chapter 55: Arrived at the Frontier

Country of fire.

Frontier.

Orochimaru led nearly a hundred ninja, including Yeruashi, to a small town.

The town was in ruins, fire was still burning in some places and corpses were everywhere.

"Lord Orochimaru, the battle took place three days ago!"

After a ninja quickly scanned the ruined city, he reported to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru scanned the city briefly, a dangerous light flickered in the snake's pupils, "Although the Iwagakure forces have already left this place, but now that we are in their range of activities. Sooner or later there will be a confrontation."

"Get organized, make camp and rest here."

Orochimaru gave the order.

Since this is already the border of the Fire Country, the battle may unfold at any time. Your group has made a great effort to get here as soon as possible, you can still remain in full combat readiness, but if you immediately start actively scouting the border, it will take even more energy and if you are ambushed by Iwagakure ninja, the situation can become very dangerous.

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, the ninja looked at each other and entered the small village, starting to put out fires and take out corpses to set up a temporary camp.

After the camp was set up, in the very center of the tent, Orochimaru stood in front of the table, looking thoughtfully at the map.

After several minutes of reflection, he said, "Which way have the Iwagakure forces gone, in your opinion?"

Next to Orochimaru was Yeruashi, he also looked at the map, upon hearing the question, he said thoughtfully, "Since the Iwagakure advance party decided to resort to such attacks, shouldn't they seek to return to the Grass Country as quickly as possible. "

Orochimaru nodded, "I think so too, but they won't dare to go further into the Fire Country, there are only these two directions left."

He put two chess pieces on the card and said, "Call the third and fourth teams."

Yeruashi nodded and left the tent, soon two teams entered, a total of eight people.

The captains of the two teams were Jounins, one from the Hyuga clan and the other from the Uchiha clan, and their squads included elite Chuunins who specialized in sensory and tracking.

"Hyuga Setsuna, explore this board..."

"Uchiha Tsuki, you're on this..."

Orochimaru instructed the two teams and said very seriously, "If you encounter a lone Iwagakure ninja, you can try to get information from him, but in other situations, don't act rashly."

"Yes."

The team captains responded respectfully.

Even the members of the great Uchiha and Hyuga clans are very respectful to Orochimaru, who became famous during the Second Ninja World War and performed a great deal of feats.

After the teams left the tent, Orochimaru looked at Yeruashi and smiled, "Go get a good rest and get ready, there might be a battle soon."

Yeruashi nodded and left the tent.

After returning to his tent, Yeruashi didn't immediately lay down to rest, he ate and started exercising.

He hasn't stopped training since he left Konoha, because thanks to the relentless training, the fourth gate is already about to open.

For someone who has the ability to go back in time, opening the fourth gate means being able to use his power almost indefinitely.

How fast would it be if he opened the fourth gate in a state of quadruple time acceleration?

Yeruashi couldn't say for sure, but he could guess that this speed should be enough to use Peacock Dawn, and it would be hard to handle even for a Kage level opponent!

With such speed and the ability to reverse the flow of time, on the battlefield of the Third Ninja World War, it will be very hard to find a person who can threaten him.

And the list of enemies he can kill will also expand.

Whether it's a Jounin or an Elite Jounin, they won't be able to resist his speed in the state of opening the fourth gate and four times the time acceleration, even a quasi-Kage level ninja will find it very difficult to avoid death when colliding with him!

"Oh..."

Yeruashi took a deep breath and started doing simple push-ups.

To train Hachimon Tonko, the most effective exercises are the most basic ones, like push-ups and squats. There are no shortcuts. You need to count on a large number of repetitions, gradually strengthening your physical body and relaxing the restrictions of the eight gates.

Yeruashi wore used wheel weights.

Due to the existence of the reverse flow ability of time, there is no need to worry about a sudden battle, if the body is too tired at the wrong time, Yeruashi will simply rewind time and return it to the state before the start of training, wasting this short period of exercise.

Therefore, he always carried the heaviest weights and performed the hardest training during each stop, this is the fourth time since leaving Konoha.

331, 332, 333...

At first, he did push-ups very fast, but after the three hundredth repetition, he began to slow down noticeably, his movements became stiff and his hands trembled slightly.

486, 487...

The pain in his hands increased steadily, but Yeruashi continued to endure, mentally counting repetitions, in such training, not only the physical body is sharpened, but also the will.

In fact, after receiving the ability to reverse the flow of time, even after ceasing to practice Hachimon Tonko, Yeruashi will still have great power and will be able to walk through the ninja world calmly, relying on simpler and much less time-consuming techniques. But after thinking about it, he decided not to abandon the practice of Hachimon Tonko.

On the one hand, Hachimon Tonko really suits him.

On the other hand, Yeruashi does not believe that his will is strong, the extremely hard and tough practice of Hachimon Subtly allows you to sharpen your will and spirit, which in turn leads to the growth of the spiritual aspect.

In addition, there is an even more important factor.

This technique can provide immunity to most Genjutsu!

The essence of Genjutsu is to interfere with the target's chakra flow and then influence their perception, which leads to being placed in an illusion.

What happens when Hachimon Tonko is used? When the first gate is opened, the chakra flow is ignited in the brain area, and when the next gate is opened, the chakra of the whole body goes crazy!

It is almost impossible to catch a ninja in a Genjutsu that is in an open-door state, because even he himself is barely able to control the uncontrolled chakra in the Tenketsu of his body, what can we say about interference in the flow of chakra?

Genjutsu is his weakness.

Yeruashi's skill in Genjutsu has always been at an average level, if Orochimaru decides to trap him in an illusion, it will be very hard to resist.

But the practice of Hachimon Tonko is able to compensate for and even completely neutralize this disadvantage, because with the opening of each subsequent gate, chakra begins to run rampant in the body, respectively, the effectiveness of Genjutsu decreases!

After opening the fifth gate, you will be immune to most illusions.

As for the eighth gate....

Even Uchiha Madara, who has the power of the Six Paths, did not attempt to put Might Guy, who opened the eighth gate, into Genjutsu at all. Given Madara's combat experience, there was only one possibility, he just knew that Genjutsu would be completely ineffective in this situation.

Even the chakra of the Six Paths and Rinnegan were not allowed to interfere with the flow of Might Guy's chakra, which opened the Eighth Gate, The Gate of Death.
