After a long time, their lips parted.
The exchange of saliva that lasted for several minutes completely stunned Yukiko.
It took her a long time to come to her senses. "Kaze, you... Mmm!"
Afraid that Yukiko would make a sound and attract others, Kaze quickly covered her mouth again.
"Yukiko, you don't want others to know about us, do you?"
As it took quite a while, Kaze casually opened the system panel and began to study it.
Hitting on girls is important, but you can't forget about the serious business!
[The host's current attributes are as follows:
Killing power: 29
Speed: 33
Defense: 31
Chakra: 30]
Kaze's current average attribute has reached 30, which is the level of an Elite Jonin.
Coupled with tricks such as Earth Grudge Fear, Mangekyō Sharingan, and Flying Raijin Technique, he can even fight a Kage-level powerhouse to a draw.
For Kage-level figures like Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tanzō, who don't have many tricks, he can simply crush them!
"Dad, I hope you'll talk to me politely from now on. Otherwise, don't blame me for not caring about our father - son relationship."
It's not Kaze boasting.
With his current strength, even if he were to encounter Madara Uchiha, he wouldn't be afraid of him.
To be honest, if he really met Madara, his combat power definitely won't be enough.
"If my previous speculation is correct, the Commotion in the Mist Village and the actions of the Uchiha Yau duo were all instigated by Madara."
"Now that The Third Great Ninja War is approaching, Madara will definitely not miss this opportunity and will enter the fray."
"My current strength is still too weak. I have to find a way to become stronger." Kaze thought to himself.
During this period, his life had been too peaceful, and the system didn't give him many Multiple - choice questions.
His attribute values were increasing at a snail's pace.
After some thought, Kaze believed that there was only one way to quickly become stronger in a short time.
That was to find a way to obtain the Sage Art of Shikkotsu Forest!
The Sage Art is a bit like the setting in fantasy novels.
Maybe Kishimoto read some Chinese web novels in his spare time.
The so - called Sage Art is a terrifying power that is formed by absorbing Natural Energy and integrating it with one's own energy.
The Sage Art is extremely special.
For example, the "Land of Purity" can restrict the use of ordinary Chakra, but it cannot completely restrict Sage Chakra.
Another example is the Ten - Tails Jinchūriki, who can ignore all Ninjutsu, but cannot ignore the damage caused by the Sage Art.
"If I can learn the Sage Art, my strength will definitely..."
"Kaze... let... let me go..."
Just as Kaze was thinking, Yukiko moved her face away with difficulty and whispered in his arms.
With such a soft voice, of course Kaze couldn't hear it. He continued to explore Yukiko's body without a care in the world.
[Ding! The host actually complained that this system is unreliable. Now this system will give you a Multiple - choice question!
]
Suddenly, the system's prompt tone sounded, startling Kaze so much that he almost dropped his kunai.
[Option 1: Let go of Yukiko. Women will only affect your training speed. Completion reward: Speed + 1 point.]
[Option 2: Let go of what? The journey is long, and I'll explore far and wide! Completion reward: Killing power + 1 point.]
[Option 3: Use the Flying Raijin Technique to leave directly and let Yukiko experience the unpredictability of human nature. Completion reward: Speed + 2 points.]
"System, are you deliberately causing trouble?" Kaze complained irritably.
"Just such a tiny amount of attribute points, and you want me to... Damn it, plus two!"
"Um, I choose Option 3!"
System: [Oh, men. How well I know you guys.]
Whoosh!
The next moment, Kaze used the Flying Raijin Technique and left, leaving Yukiko standing there, utterly confused.
Yukiko: "???"
She was confused. Kaze had just started hitting on her and then suddenly bolted. What was that all about?
Someone was walking towards her from afar. She nervously tidied up her clothes and regained her usual elegant demeanor.
However, her mind and body were still lingering in the previous sensation.
So, this was the feeling of a kiss... It was kind of strange...
Damn it, Kaze Shimura. This guy had stolen her first kiss and didn't even give her an explanation.
Just... just ran off like that. Humph!
Gritting her teeth, Yukiko took wobbly steps and returned to the restaurant.
On the other side, in the training ground of the Anbu that belonged to Kaze.
As soon as Kaze's figure appeared, a light screen popped up in front of him from the system.
[Ding! Selection successful. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the reward: Speed + 2 points!]
"Whoo! I'm even faster now. This is great!" Kaze cheered.
35 is the dividing line between Kage - level and Elite Jonin.
That meant, just in terms of speed, Kaze could already compete with Kage - level powerhouses.
Pulling himself out of his lustful state, Kaze entered the sage mode.
All he could think about now was training.
Forget about Yukiko Sarutobi and Vivi Uchiha. Get out of the way!
"Women will only affect my training speed. Time waits for no one. I can't keep wallowing in this!"
Kaze bit his finger and formed hand seals, activating the Summoning Jutsu.
Puff!
A slug about the same height as Kaze emerged from the white smoke.
It affectionately nudged Kaze with its antenna and gently said,
"Little Kaze, you haven't summoned me in a long time. What do you need me to help with this time?"
Scratching his head, Kaze thought for a long time but couldn't come up with a good way to put it. So he simply said,
"Senior Slug, I want to train in the Sage Art of the Shikkotsu Forest. Do you think I still have a chance?"
The slug swayed its tentacles as if pondering. After a long while, it said,
"Little Kaze, the Sage Art of our Shikkotsu Forest... is a bit special."
"That's the reason why Lady Tsunade didn't choose to practice the Sage Art of Shikkotsu Forest at that time."
Somewhat special?
Thinking about it, in the anime, the sage arts of the other two sacred places have both made appearances.
But only the Sage Art of Shikkotsu Forest has never been clearly shown.
Many people speculate that Hashirama's Sage Art might originate from the Shikkotsu Forest, but it's just a guess.
In this regard, the Sage Art of Shikkotsu Forest is indeed quite "special".
"Senior Katsuyu, can you tell me what makes it so special?" Kaze asked.
Katsuyu looked a bit embarrassed. "It's hard to describe it clearly just by talking."
It thought for a while and suggested, "How about you come with me to the Shikkotsu Forest? You'll probably understand once you see it with your own eyes."
"Sure, Senior Katsuyu."
Kaze naturally had no objections and immediately nodded in agreement.
Actually, he was very curious about what "special" meant in Katsuyu's words.
"Alright, I'll head back first, Kaze."
Katsuyu said softly, "I'll perform a reverse summoning on you at the Shikkotsu Forest later."
As it said this, its tone suddenly became serious.
"Kaze, remember, no matter what you see later, don't be too surprised."
"...You must be mentally prepared!"
This was the first time Katsuyu had spoken to Kaze in such a serious tone.
Kaze felt a chill run down his spine.
But in order to gain strength, he still nodded bravely.
"O...Okay, I understand, Lady Katsuyu."
