Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#333 - Divine Thoughts Expand

After ending the telepathic conversation with the Third Hokage, Liang Yue's originally relaxed mood immediately sank.

Because leaving the arena meant he lost control over the mission.

In Liang Yue's view, the standard for whether Orochimaru's Konoha Crush plan would succeed was definitely tied to the Third Hokage's safety.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi at this time was confident that after breaking through to the Innate Realm and receiving the infusion of natural energy, his body had returned to the peak of his life.

The chakra within his body, due to the tempering and fusion of natural energy, had become even more powerful.

Although Liang Yue hadn't personally witnessed the true form of the so-called "Sage Technique" energy, the quality of the Third Hokage's chakra at this time shouldn't be much weaker.

Even so, Liang Yue really didn't like the feeling of giving the initiative to others. In his opinion, this was tantamount to entrusting the success or failure of the mission to someone else.

What if that old man crashed at that time... …

However, compared to that, he couldn't ignore the matter on Hanabi's side. After all, he had watched that little girl grow up.

If she were to fall into Orochimaru's hands by accident, Hanabi's fate would definitely be very tragic.

"Forget it, I'll leave two shadow clones here to support."

As his thoughts swirled, Liang Yue quickly made a decision. With a hand seal, two shadow clones immediately appeared on his sides.

Just as he was about to fly away, he suddenly had a thought and left another shadow clone behind, casting an invisibility jutsu on it.

Afterward, Liang Yue took to the air. In a few moments, he disappeared from the arena.

… … .

However, on the way back to the Hyuga clan, he wasn't just burying his head in the road.

Since cultivating the "Evergreen Art", Liang Yue hadn't really found an opportunity to unleash its true power.

The "Evergreen Art" itself might not be a high-level technique, but the cultivation system it represented was beyond doubt. The spiritual power cultivated and transformed wasn't just a consumable for using spells.

In addition to nourishing and developing the body's potential, it could also nurture the cultivator's spiritual realm, and transform it into another miraculous instinct of a cultivator.

Divine Sense~!

The strength of Divine Sense is, to a certain extent, linked to the cultivator's mental strength.

Coincidentally, among Liang Yue's current attribute stats, the Spirit stat, which represents the strength of mental strength, has always been far ahead!

"Divine Sense, expand~!"

As Liang Yue's thoughts stirred, the divine sense that had only unconsciously covered the area within twenty or thirty meters around him instantly expanded rapidly outwards.

In less than a breath, everything within a five-hundred-meter radius was immediately brought under his control!

"Phew~ It seems I'm still not skilled enough. I can't exert its full effect for the time being. Otherwise, with my current Spirit stat, at least the area within five or six li would be covered by my Divine Sense. However, five hundred meters is enough~"

Soon, after expanding his divine sense, Liang Yue almost immediately noticed the abnormality in Konoha Village. Hundreds of ninjas were running around.

Among them were ninjas belonging to Konoha, as well as ninjas from other ninja villages. Some groups that met were already engaged in battle.

Obviously, the peaceful situation that had at least been maintained on the surface had now been broken.

Silent and invisible, yet carrying a horrifying power.

"Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!" "Puff!"

Accompanied by a chilling muffled explosion, five Sound Ninja who were engaged in battle were instantly penetrated through the top of their heads, the back of their necks, their backs, their chests, and their eye sockets!

As blood mist sprayed, these five people immediately fell softly to the ground, while Liang Yue's figure only flashed across the sky above them before disappearing quickly.

In the same place, only a few Leaf ninjas were left looking at each other in confusion.

Having just crossed a high wall, another group of three Sand Ninja appeared before him. At this time, this group was besieging a Konoha Jonin.

However, the one who had the upper hand was the Konoha ninja~

Only to see that this Jonin had a toothpick in his mouth, his name seemed to be Genma Shiranui.

During the desperate fight, he was also fighting back and forth with the other three. After a few blocks, he seized the opportunity and suddenly spat out the toothpick in his mouth, which shot into the chest of a Sand Ninja.

Liang Yue, who had his Divine Sense fully open at this time, had naturally already discovered the situation here, so as soon as he flipped over the wall, he flicked his hand again.

"Swish~"

In a flash of gray, three ordinary embroidery needles instantly disappeared into the enemy's heads!

The three Sand Ninja immediately fell to the ground powerlessly.

"Yo~ You've got good skills with hidden weapons. Let's spar together when we have time~"

As a Jonin of the Anbu, Genma Shiranui naturally recognized Liang Yue. Seeing that his opponent had been eliminated first, he immediately turned his head, looked at Liang Yue, who was facing away from the sun, and squinted unconsciously.

Then, he started talking, but Liang Yue didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time.

"We'll talk about it later. Go help the others."

After saying that, his figure flashed, and the whole person flew to another residential building, continuing to rush quickly towards the Hyuga family's direction.

Subsequently, on the way, Liang Yue, who had been silent for many years, finally picked up the butcher knife again and began to kill.

Wherever he passed, a rain of flying needles would fall first.

When he encountered an opposing ninja who could block one of his needles and not die, Liang Yue then took out his Eight Trigram Twin Blades.

For a time, this guy seemed to have transformed into a spinning top that brought death.

He turned, shifted, fluttered, leaped, his whole person was like an ethereal phantom, yet followed a beautiful trajectory.

The twin blades in his hands were like two shining streams of light, and wherever the light spots fluttered, blood would splatter in patches.

The reason why Liang Yue had to deliberately kill these passing cannon fodder ninjas on the way was naturally to accumulate experience points~

In less than three minutes, the Hyuga family's mansion was already in sight.

And after such a trip, the experience bar of the Wind Illusion Dragon template leading to the second level was directly filled by more than half!

"Sure enough, to level up, you still have to grind monsters diligently!"

This thought only flashed through his mind, and then Liang Yue took a step, and the whole person suddenly turned in the air, his figure shot horizontally towards another direction on the Hyuga family's side.

Obviously, he had made a new discovery with his Divine Sense fully open at this time.
