Reborn Naruto, I rolled my eyes to the sky

There are no very accurate maps in the ninja world. These are just pictures drawn by ninjas in each village based on the routes they have traveled.

The Kingdom of Wind is relatively better off to the east of the Sand Village because it is close to the west of the continent. Although it is not as prosperous as the Kingdom of Fire, it is home to most of the population and ninjas of the entire Kingdom of Wind, so it is relatively prosperous.

From the Sand Village further west, there are vast tracts of desert and wasteland. It is sparsely populated and rarely visited, so naturally there is no accurate map.

According to my speculation and Fenglan's clues, the ancient city of Loulan is located in the northwest of the Kingdom of Wind, a barren land that has turned into a desert.

After leaving the Sand Village with Fenglan, I took out a simple map. I could only roughly see the locations of the five major countries and each ninja village, and there were basically no detailed roads.

I stretched out my hand and drew a line from the Sand Village to the Wind Country in the northwest direction, and then drew a circle at the end. I said to Feng Lan: "Now we can basically confirm that the ancient city of Loulan is in the northwest, but the approximate range is not clear. Let's move forward from here to the northwest, and then slowly search around the possible areas. In the end, whether we can find the ancient city of Loulan depends on God's will."

Feng Lan gestured at the map and said, "It's quite a long distance. I have never been to such a far place."

After all, Fenglan has not graduated from the Ninja Academy yet. Even if she becomes a Genin after graduation, she will generally not receive missions that are too far away from the village.

"The world is big. As long as you are strong enough, one day you can travel to every corner of the ninja world." I said to Feng Lan with a smile.

After leaving the Sand Village, although we were still in the Sand Ninja's sphere of influence, the Wind Country was so vast that we would not easily encounter Sand Ninja. So I took Feng Lan and stopped rushing on the road. Instead, I walked slowly and began to guide his practice.

"I have already roughly explained to you the principles of practicing the twelve earthly branches' fundamental seals. According to the test, your wind and thunder attributes are suitable for practicing the Yin and Chen seals."

I looked up at the sky. It was probably the hour of the tiger when I was at the Liezhi clan's territory. Later, when I returned to Fenglan's home, I took Fenglan all the way and left the Sand Village. It was probably the hour of the rabbit now.

"It happens that it will be the Chen hour in a little while. I will first teach you to practice the Chen seal and experience the formal practice of the twelve earthly branches' fundamental seals."

Although the Twelve Earthly Branches Fundamental Seals were developed by myself, many of the underlying ideas are different from the current chakra system. I mostly communicate with Shinichi Minato, and I don't really have much experience in teaching others. I can only explain my ideas to Fenglan first to see if he can understand them.

"I told you before that the twelve Earthly Branches' fundamental seals focus on the integration of body and mind. The so-called body is the seal. We make the corresponding hand seals at the corresponding time so that our body can be perfectly aligned with the natural world. This should not be a problem for you."

"What's more important is the unity of body and mind, which means you need to visualize the corresponding image when you make a seal. Of course, every ninja has his own understanding of the world, and the images they visualize are naturally different."

"Take the hour of Chen as an example. In nature, Chen is the time when the sun rises and everything revives, representing the stage of Yang energy generation. In the human body, Chen represents vigorous breath, and Chen in the five elements belongs to thunder, which is the manifestation of strength."

"So the Chen Seal is one of the seals that can refine chakra and increase its growth the fastest. It is also the best time for you to guide and absorb the natural energy of the lightning attribute."

Seeing that it was almost noon, I gestured to Feng Lan to sit cross-legged on the ground facing the sun: "You can try what I just said. When refining chakra, visualize in your mind and see if you can attract natural energy."

After taking a deep breath, Feng Lan sat cross-legged on the ground, formed the Chen seal with her hands, and began to refine the chakra and visualize the corresponding images.

I opened my Byakugan and observed the chakra state in Fenglan's body and the fluctuations of the surrounding natural energy in order to evaluate Fenglan's progress in practice.

Under the stimulation of Feng Lan's spiritual energy, the cells throughout the body slowly burst out life energy and combined with spiritual energy, turning into chakra and circulating in the body. However, the speed of refining did not improve significantly, and the surrounding natural energy was also calm. It was obvious that the method of practicing the Twelve Earthly Branches Fundamental Seal was not successful.

After observing for a while, I shook my head and said, "You can stop now. Can you sense the natural energy during your practice?"

Feng Lan pondered for a moment: "When refining chakra, I tried hard to visualize the image of Chenshi, but it was already a little difficult to be distracted. As for sensing natural energy, I had even less energy."

I nodded, and understood Feng Lan's problem: "It's not easy to multitask, and it may be too difficult for you now."

"How about this, you can practice refining chakra, visualizing the images of the Yin and Chen hours, and sensing and guiding natural energy separately. Although the efficiency and effect are not high, you can quickly become familiar with them. Once they become your body's instinct, it will be easier to combine them with practice."
