Naruto: Can't learn ninjutsu? I'll just practice immortality!

Under the cover of rain, Asakawa Naoki, who continued to raise his altitude with the sword control technique, soon disappeared from the sight of the Rain Ninjas.

"Master Hanzo, what should we do next?" asked a Rain Ninja.

"Put the Rain Country on alert and mobilize ninjas to search nearby!" Hanzo said slowly.

"But we are still at war with Konoha." Another Rain Ninja asked.

"The war will be over soon." Hanzo whispered.

The surrounding Rain Ninjas were silent. In this war with Konoha, they were eventually defeated.

In order to prevent the Rain Country from suffering more damage, they could only admit defeat to Konoha to get the hope of lingering.

......

Asakawa Naoki, who was standing on the flying sword, naturally did not know the situation below. After escaping from the pursuit of Hanzo and the Rain Ninjas, Asakawa Naoki wanted to directly control the flying sword to catch up with Orochimaru and the others.

The speed of the flying sword was much faster than that of Orochimaru and his men who were carrying the wounded. If they had gone at full speed, they might have reached Konoha before them.

However, just as Asakawa Naoki was about to fly the flying sword to Konoha, the mana in his dantian began to surge.

During the more than a day that he had held Hanzo, Asakawa Naoki was not only very tired mentally, but also in terms of mana.

With the help of the fire of essence, the medicinal materials and most of the ration pills on his body were all transformed into essence, and then refined into mana.

In this process, Asakawa Naoki's mana, which had already reached its limit, finally couldn't bear it, and after extreme compression, it had a tendency to liquefy.

Now that he had escaped from the dead, his mental power was slightly relaxed, and the mana that was faintly liquefied finally began to liquefy completely.

At this time, Asakawa Naoki finally realized that he was going to break through!

"I didn't expect that the opportunity for a breakthrough that I couldn't find after all my efforts before was here." Asakawa Naoki was slightly happy.

"Now that we are on the verge of a breakthrough, I'm afraid we can't rush back to Konoha, so let's break through first."

After thinking for a while, Asakawa Naoki accelerated his flying sword and distanced himself from Hanzo and the others. He didn't want to be disturbed when he was breaking through.

After flying for a while, when he felt it was about time, Asakawa Naoki rushed directly to a cave where he could hide from the rain.

"Traces of people living there?"

Asakawa Naoki didn't expect that there were traces of people living at the breakthrough location he randomly chose, but after a casual glance, it seemed that they were not ninjas.

At the moment, he didn't know when the other party would come back, and the mana in his body had reached a limit, so Asakawa Naoki couldn't care too much.

"Start the breakthrough, and wait for the owner of this cave to come back and give him more money as compensation."

After thinking for a while, Asakawa Naoki threw a fairy bean. If the other party wanted to kill him, the fairy bean that sensed the killing intention would automatically transform into a fairy soldier and protect him with its weak self-awareness.

The fairy bean fell beside him, and Asakawa Naoki finally began to break through with all his strength.

Under the effect of the fire of essence, the originally soaked clothes and hair were quickly dried, and there was no need to worry about catching a cold due to the cold.

Asakawa Naoki began to immerse all his mind in the dantian, controlling the mana to continue to compress.

The "gaseous" mana that originally filled the dantian was transformed into "liquid" mana. Although the total amount remained unchanged, the volume occupied was only one tenth of it. Even if the dantian did not continue to expand, the total amount of "liquid" mana that could be accommodated was far more than the peak of the late stage of refining essence into qi.

Moreover, it was not just the mana that changed. At the moment of breaking through the refining qi into spirit, Asakawa Naoki's whole body was changing.

The meridians where the mana flowed were rapidly strengthened so that they could absorb spiritual energy and operate more mana.

His physical strength also quickly became stronger under the nourishment of liquid mana, and it was greatly improved again after the fire of essence was ignited.

At the same time, although from the appearance, Asakawa Naoki's appearance did not change much, it gave people a sense of immortality, as if he was facing not an ordinary person but an immortal.

"After breaking through the stage of refining qi into spirit, I can finally absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth." Asakawa Naoki sensed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around him, which is what the ninja world calls natural energy.

When he first started refining essence into qi, Asakawa Naoki could sense natural energy.

Because during the period of refining essence into qi, neither the meridians nor the dantian could withstand the violent natural energy, and he could only rely on absorbing the essence from food to refine it into mana.

But after breaking through the stage of refining qi into spirit, his body, both the dantian and the meridians were further strengthened, and he finally no longer had to rely on absorbing the essence from food to refine weak mana, but could instead directly absorb natural energy from heaven and earth to refine it into mana.

This not only means that Asakawa Naoki no longer has to eat and drink like a glutton like before,More importantly, directly absorbing natural energy and refining it into liquid mana means that the power and endurance of Asakawa Naoki's magic are greatly improved!

"Now that I face Hanzo again, he is the one who should run away."

"However, in front of me now, Hanzo can't escape."

Asakawa Naoki sighed in his heart. The liquid mana of refining qi into spirit not only crushes the gaseous mana of refining essence into qi in total volume, but also far exceeds the gaseous mana in power.

Moreover, after breaking through the refining qi into spirit, the most critical point.

Spiritual consciousness!

At the moment of successful breakthrough, Asakawa Naoki's spiritual power finally ushered in a transformation.

The spiritual power that could only look inward and could not leave the body can now finally leave the body and expand rapidly.

Five meters, ten meters, a hundred meters, a thousand meters...

Until two thousand meters, the expansion of spiritual consciousness finally stopped.

Of course, the coverage of spiritual consciousness is not a straight line of two thousand meters, but a radius of two thousand meters centered on Asakawa Naoki.

Within the range of his spiritual sense, every bird and every worm appeared in his mind in a concrete form.

At this moment, Asakawa Naoki seemed to be a player who had cheated in the game and had a God's perspective.

Even small animals could not escape his perception, let alone people.

"As expected of a cultivator's spiritual sense, it is simply the most perfect radar."

"This is much more useful than the ninja's perception ninjutsu."

With spiritual sense, Asakawa Naoki no longer had to worry about being backstabbed twice like Uchiha Madara.

While Asakawa Naoki was still adapting to his spiritual sense, two small figures in raincoats walked from a distance to the cave where Asakawa Naoki was.

"Is this cave their home?"

"Where are the adults in their family?"

Asakawa Naoki did not continue to think. In this not-so-peaceful ninja world, there should not be too many orphans, not to mention the Rain Country at the center of the Second Ninja World War.

Children like this without adults are most likely orphans.

In fact, the situation of Naoki Asakawa who traveled to Konoha was similar. However, compared to the orphans in the Rain Country, the Konoha where Naoki Asakawa was located had not been invaded. In addition, his parents still had a certain amount of pensions and savings, so Naoki Asakawa was not so miserable.
