Naruto Shadow Mage

 “The rain has stopped”

At first, he competed with the heretic demon in terms of spiritual energy, and then fell directly from mid-air to the ground.

Lying on the cold and somewhat muddy ground at this time, the off-road conditions could not be worse. Even his face hidden under the ANBU mask was stained with a sickly paleness. .

 However, he was suffering from both mental and physical pain, but his demeanor during the off-roading did not look like he was in any pain at all.

Why?

 The reason is that at this time, I was suffering both mental and physical pain from cross-country, and I was not only excited but also excited!

Because, in the previous battle with the outsiders' demons, with the use of the whirlpool clan's spiritual magic, the cross-country's spiritual energy was solidified again and again. It was broken again and again, suffering unbearable pain for ordinary people. Cross-country has completed the true "qualitative" change of spiritual energy between the solidification and fragmentation of spiritual energy!

 The originally nihilistic spiritual energy, after completing a real "qualitative" change, has suddenly condensed into an entity.

As long as Cross Country silently uses the spiritual magic of the Uzumaki clan and carefully senses the spiritual energy in his body, Cross Country can feel a terrifying energy flowing between his eyebrows!

 That energy is transformed from nothingness into real spiritual energy!

 When cross-country has completed the true "qualitative" change of spiritual energy, it becomes truly clear how difficult it is to achieve the true "qualitative" change of spiritual energy!

Originally, during the confrontation with Kakuzu, Cross Country vaguely sensed the barrier to a true "qualitative" change in spiritual energy, thinking that his own spiritual energy was about to undergo a "qualitative" change.

But now, when Cross Country discovers that his spiritual energy after the "qualitative" change has changed from nothingness to reality, in addition to the "qualitative" change, in terms of "quantitative", only one ten thousandth of the original spiritual energy remains. At that time, cross-country finally became clear about how huge the accumulation required for a true "qualitative" change in spiritual energy is!

"The spiritual energy I held before was not only ranked first in the ninja world, but at least it could occupy the top five positions in the ninja world, right?"

"First of all, as a time traveler, my spiritual energy is different from ordinary people. In addition, I practice the spiritual arts of the Uzumaki clan. In terms of "quantity", the spiritual energy I hold can be said to be at the pinnacle level of the true ninja world. exists."

“Unfortunately, I couldn’t complete the real “qualitative” change in spiritual energy. I really felt like I was sitting in a well and looking at the sky.”

"If it weren't for the terrifying secret technique of the Heretic Golem, which shattered again and again and tempered my spiritual energy, allowing me to take that solid step even though the accumulation of spiritual energy was still insufficient, I'm afraid I would have wanted to complete it. The real “qualitative” change in spiritual energy will take at least ten years.”

“If you don’t break, you don’t build. If you break and then build, you are talking about the adventures I encountered when my spiritual energy truly changed qualitatively, right?”

“It’s just that my current mental energy cannot be said in terms of “quality”, but in terms of “quantity”

"well!"

 Sighed deeply, what was he sighing about?

 What cross-country sighs for is naturally one’s own “adventures”.

 What needs to be sighed even more is the problems that will be faced after encountering "adventures"!

 That’s right.

Using the spiritual magic of the Uzumaki clan to resist the ferocious secrets of the heretic demons, the cross-country spiritual energy was solidified and shattered again and again. It was indeed in the process of breaking and then standing that a real "Qualitative" change.

 However, according to conventional spiritual energy cultivation methods, the real "qualitative" change of spiritual energy is not like cross-country driving.

 The real "qualitative" change in spiritual energy is a natural change that occurs when spiritual energy has been cultivated to a certain level.

Just like the half-step "qualitative" change in the mental energy of cross-country, after experiencing the half-step "qualitative" change, the mental energy of cross-country can only be said to be getting stronger and stronger, without any change at all in terms of "quantity". Become stronger and stronger.

 On the contrary, in today’s off-roading, the mental energy has indeed changed “qualitatively”.

 However, due to insufficient accumulation of spiritual energy in cultivation, the road to truly "qualitative" spiritual energy transformation in cross-country is somewhat deformed.

 The final result is that the mental energy of cross-country has changed in terms of "qualitative", but unfortunately the "quantitative" aspect is not one ten thousandth of what it was before.

Of course, with the cross-country practice of the whirlpool clan's spiritual arts, his spiritual energy that has completed a true "qualitative" change must be replenished bit by bit in terms of "quantitative".

 It's just that, in terms of the "quantity" of mental energy, if it cannot return to its original level, the cross-country strength will be weakened to a certain extent.

Especially when the "quantity" of mental energy is less than one ten thousandth of the previous level, because the mental energy and physical energy in the body cannot reach a balance, off-road use is temporarily unavailable, and the problem of chakra cultivation really makes it difficult. Off-roading feels a bit of a headache.

However, one peck, one drink, one loss and one gain are the rules of the world.

It can make a real "qualitative" change in spiritual energy. The harvest from cross-country is enough. Even if chakra cannot be used temporarily, there seems to be no problem at all.

 But don’t forget, the off-roading is now in the Country of Rain, not in the Leaf Village of the Country of Fire!

If the cross-country is still in the Leaf Village, it will be temporarily unavailable. To cultivate chakra, not to mention the Nara clan, but the Fourth Hokage, Shimura Danzo and others, it is impossible for the cross-country to temporarily recover its original strength. lives are threatened.

On the contrary, in the dangerous country of Rain, the situation faced by cross-country is a bit complicated.

Especially when Cross Country caught a glimpse of the heretic demon with his peripheral vision, and the extremely weak Nagato walked towards him, he endured the mental and physical torture, and Cross Country stood up slowly. He looked at Nagato with wary eyes.

 “Nagato, are you okay?”

 I don’t know what the situation is like in Nagato, but there must be no problem with cross-country alert.

If Nagato is still in a state of schizophrenia, going cross-country will be a desperate effort, and Madara, who is hiding behind Nagato, will lose something important.

 Fortunately, the expected result of the cross-country trip did not happen.

 After all, Nagato had already regained his consciousness when Konan was in a crisis situation.

However, Nagato's mood was very unstable at this time, especially after subduing the Heretic Golem. The weak Nagato was constantly impacted by the Heretic Golem, and he seemed extremely anxious emotionally.

 So, staring at the cross country in front of him, Nagato finally suppressed the murderous intention in his heart.

 Then, his eyes shifted to the unconscious Konan and the dead demigod Hanzo. Nagato took a deep breath and finally suppressed the idea of ​​​​killing off-road in his heart, and said coldly:

“Hanzo is dead, is your mission completed?”

"finished."

Nodded, Cross Country also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he found that Nagato had no intention of killing him.

Then he looked at the unconscious Konan in front of him, faced Nagato cross-country, and asked:

 “What do you think you have planned?”

 “Plan? Of course we will follow Yahiko’s will!”

His eyes were full of annoyance and pain. Breathing in the fresh air after the rain, Nagato left his back to Cross Country, as if he was telling something slowly, and murmured comfortingly: "Hanzo is dead. Yahiko's will will definitely shine in my hands. Therefore, I plan to gather the power of the "Akatsuki" organization, first gather the participating forces of the Rain Ninja Village, and then tell the big countries and the great Ninja Villages step by step that I, Nagato, will lead. The Rain Ninja Village, the Country of Rain, is not easy to bully.”

“Feng, I don’t even know your real name now, but there’s no need.”

“Because from today on, I am no longer Nagato.”

 Speaking, Cross Country clearly felt Nagato's "blackening", but was unable to stop Nagato's change.

 Master Ban’s plan is really flawless.

Off-road has stepped into the chess game without knowing Banye’s true trump card. Survival is a very good result, and other things are beyond the control of off-road.

 So, before Nagato could finish his words, Cross Country went to the side of Demigod Hanzo and cut off the head of Demigod Hanzo.

Just so casually, he hung the head of the demigod on his waist, and with heavy steps, he quickly disappeared in front of Nagato.

On the contrary, it was Nagato, who had only left the back of Cross Country before. When he found that Cross Country was leaving with heavy steps, he suddenly turned around and faced Cross Country.

Moreover, just as the cross-country figure gradually disappeared from Nagato's sight, a faint smile suddenly appeared on his face. Nagato's samsara eyes were filled with thick purple. At the same time, his indifference And the mechanical sound slowly reached the off-road ears.

"who I am?"

 “I am the God of the Kingdom of Rain! That’s why I changed my name to Payne today!”

"Wind, when we meet next time, you still represent the Leaf Village, but I represent the will of the Country of Rain. I can't be merciful!"

 “If you leave now, you are taking a second chance!”

 “The third time, if we are hostile”

 “Don’t even think about using that third chance to survive, I will definitely kill you without mercy!”
