Chapter Seventy-two Early Morning

  When I arrived at the forest on the east side of Konoha, I was no longer the blonde-haired blue-eyed Uzumaki Naruto, nor was I the black-haired black-eyed Tsuki, but had transformed back into the one with moon-colored long hair and heterochromatic red-blue eyes, that is, me, Tsukino.

  It turns out that when I'm emotionally unstable, my special transformation technique will lose control! What an unexpected discovery, haha.

  I leaned against a big tree, half sprawled out. The cold rain poured down on me mercilessly, soaking through my thin clothes that offered no resistance. My waterlogged clothes were heavy, but nothing was heavier than my heart.

  Jiuxiang, I thought I had long let go of it, but it was all fake. I asked calmly.

  …………..

  Don't worry, I'm fine, very good. To be honest, facing the problem directly, although it's painful, it's a heart-wrenching pain, but it's also the best and fastest way to heal, as long as you can endure that suffering.

  Jiu Ye, I understand now. It turns out that I've been telling myself those days were a dream, fake, and that I never experienced them... I told myself it was a dream, so every day I'm just "dreaming"...

  Those things I never had, how could I lose them? Since I never lost them, why should I suffer for "losing" them?

  I faced it, I understood it, I accepted it, I forgave it.

  So, these scars won't break out again. Now I just need to get hurt in the same place one more time and this time it will heal completely without leaving any scars! The realization came at that moment, I understood everything.

  Old wounds will not heal, but as long as old wounds are made into new wounds, it's okay.

  I tried it out and indeed recovered to smooth skin at a visible speed.

  And there were two arms full of scars!

  One knife cut seems too slow, and how can a "line" be faster than a "surface"?

  I materialize chakra scalpels, and the surgery begins.

  I took out the medical bandage I was carrying with me, wrapped it around the affected area, although the recovery speed was very fast, but the bleeding didn't decrease because of that. Looking at the bandaged part stained with red flowers in many places, I decided to go find Bai and them again tomorrow?

  I jumped onto a big tree that I liked, and before long, I fell into a daze and slept, today, the spiritual consumption was really too heavy and painful for me, I can almost say that I fainted rather than fell asleep.

  Psychologically, coupled with physical factors, my entire being's vitality has weakened to an unimaginably low level.

  The scab of the wound was ripped open with blood, it hurt a lot, but only in this way could the medicine be applied to the deepest part.

  But now, I don't know that I haven't completely peeled off the wound, but only treated all the painful wounds that are currently felt, and left an undiscovered abscess in the deepest part...

  When I woke up with a slight stinging sensation on my face, I found several unknown small birds gently pecking at my cheeks.

  I shifted my body a bit and sat up, but those little birds didn't fly away; instead, they flew onto my arm and shoulder, hopping around.

  This temperament of being close to animals, according to my sister's words is "organisms with similar IQs will get close to each other", this is really going too far!

  Brother's words are pleasant to hear, "Animals always like to approach a clear mind", and...

  (This is your instinct... also, our instinct! Fake instinct!)

  I was teasing a small green bird with my fingers when I suddenly heard footsteps approaching, and the little birds around me were startled into flight.

  I looked up at the sky, although it was still very dark, but the east had already faintly emitted a white light, and some birdsong was also disturbing my ears.

  But I don't dislike this feeling.

  I curled up my right foot, rested my chin on it with my right hand, and tapped the knee of my left foot with my left index finger to the rhythm, slightly tilting my head as I sat in the branches of a large tree, watching someone practicing sword exercises.

  Why choose this one in particular?

  I've already forgotten how I used to hold my breath unconsciously when I'm alone, and even Shinra wouldn't notice me if he wasn't paying attention.

  "Excuse me, can you choose another tree as a practice target?" I'm making an exception now, it's only 4:30 at most, I don't have the habit of getting up at this time, either I wake up at 2 o'clock or I sleep straight through.

  Both Bai and Jun know that as long as nothing is going on, I don't have to rush out the door in the morning, I usually sleep in until someone wakes me up. Of course, it doesn't matter if I don't sleep, but this feeling of sleeping in makes me feel very happy.

  Although I have difficulty falling into a deep sleep, I always enjoy the slightly delayed daze of sleepiness because it is when my senses are most numb and I am most relaxed.

  After all, my five senses have become sharp after a year or two of self-training, and even reached the level of "sharp".

  Although in combat, extreme visual, auditory, tactile and olfactory senses gave me a huge advantage from the start.

  Unfortunately, the training effect was too strong, especially the visual, auditory and tactile senses that I had previously reinforced were already at a level that affected my normal life, although I don't know if my life can be considered normal.

  Because I trained the five senses in a way that is based on making the same moves as normal with limited senses, and then increasing the degree of limitation after reaching the goal.

  Although it is said to be the five senses, I only did training for vision, hearing, touch and smell, because my ability to distinguish food is very low. Except for a few specific flavors, I don't care about other flavors at all. Plus, most toxic substances are immune to my physique, so I didn't do any training in this aspect.

  Of course, Baigaku and Kimura are doing a full set of training.

  White is most effective with auditory and tactile, while Kimimaro has an amazing reaction to visual and tactile, but the others are not bad either, all of which are above mid-nin, almost at the level of a special high-nin.

  Both Bai and Kuno are now capable of fighting at a level above normal even after completely losing their sense of sight and hearing.

  And I, perhaps due to this body's origin, my training progress has been so rapid that even Kuwabara is surprised. He says that with my current situation, it's possible that before the age of 12, I may be able to fight on par with Uchiha Madara even if I lose two out of three senses: sight, hearing or touch.

  At that time, the battle was no longer just relying on the five senses to proceed, but rather the control of chakra. It's not just about controlling the chakra within one's own body, but also starting to grasp the chakra outside of it.

  Disperse your chakra around you and sense all of your opponent's actions through the fluctuations in their chakra.

  What is meant by "Chakra embodiment" is that to some extent one has already stepped into this realm with one foot.

  What I yearn for most now is "flight", but currently, I am still in the stage of "walking in the air". To break through my current predicament, I still have a lot of room for improvement.

  That's enough said.

  In short, when I first completely removed all the restraints that bound my senses for the first time, I almost screamed, and this was already a very panicked expression for me, who had always been quite confident in my self-control.

  A kilometer away, the ants on the leaves of the big tree move, a slight difference in every millimeter, even the flow of blood vessels under the skin when emotions change; several kilometers away, people's voices, every word and sentence with different tones, and even the sound of my own heartbeat is almost driving me to collapse; all smells are like materialization, almost accurate to "minutes" to infer the existence time of objects; and for me at that time, it was just the flow of wind, but it made me feel as if I were in a thick glue, I could clearly feel every inch of skin reacting to the wind...... This is not even counting the degree after I use Chakra to strengthen my senses.

  At that time, if it weren't for the fact that you saw my expression was strange and immediately sensed something was wrong after noticing, sealing me in a barrier to give me some time to adapt or resolve my physical condition at the time, the consequences would have been unthinkable.

  Extremely sharp senses, for that time, was a double-edged sword, so I could only seal up part of it.

  I deployed a layer of chakra membrane that completely covered my entire body, blocking out over 70% of my sensory range, and then maintained it at a slightly high level that I could tolerate, which finally settled the matter.

  This seal is irremovable and can only weaken with the passage of time, giving me just enough time to adapt to my own sensory abilities. According to my estimate, it will take at most two to three years for this layer of chakra membrane to dissipate slowly, allowing me to adjust my senses properly and sleep normally, rather than being in a state of less than sixty percent sleep like now.

  And in the forest, he can occasionally reach a depth of sleep of around 70% to 80%, so I didn't want to disturb him, and of course, my laziness was also one of the main reasons.

  Unfortunately, the target he used for his shuriken training happened to be the very tree I was planning to take a nap in. Although the impact of the shuriken hitting the trunk of the tree, which had a diameter of about half a meter, wasn't that great, to me, who has extremely sensitive senses compared to normal people, it was no different from an earthquake.

  But in response to my opening my mouth, I received four dark projectiles flying towards me.

  I silently sighed in my heart, is it so hard for me to sleep in a bit?!

  The angle of attack is good, and although the number of hidden weapons is not many, it is obvious that they have been thought out. The first two are aimed at my vital points, and the last two are on the left and right attacking the direction where I am most likely to dodge, what a pity!

  I stretched out my right hand, mobilizing the Chakra Shield, and the transparent Chakra entity would attack all four of my sword-wielding hands. In fact, I didn't even need to swing my hands to control the Chakra Shield surrounding me; it was just a habit.

  It seems I won't be able to sleep! Once I have some activity, I'll immediately wake up and won't fall asleep again for a while. I patted my face to boost my spirits, but I was still a bit dazed.

  I slowly floated down from the branches of a tall tree that was five or six meters high, and landed in front of the person who had disturbed my sleep.

  He was a boy of over ten years old.

  Actually in the previous chapter, I didn't intend to be cruel, it's just that as I was writing...it ended up like that. I'll try my best to make it better afterwards.

  The previous chapter was just to let Naruto's depression after Jiraiya's death be vented in this chapter, and also to heal the wound in his heart. This was decided from the beginning, whoever caused the cause should solve it, roughly like that.

  In addition, the psychological description of the characters is my writing habit. It can be said to be a bit forced, but it's just my style. If I change it, I will find it difficult to write. If you can tolerate it, please continue reading; if not, then forget it.

  That's it.
