Chapter 99: Busoshoku Haki
Itachi, who was not interested in staying any longer, directly carried two sets of bentos and went out. Then, he went to a place where there was no one and directly transformed into a shadow clone.
"It's time for lunch. You can come up. I have something to do outside."
The avatar Itachi nodded, indicating that he understood.
Then the real Itachi secretly slipped out.
....
In front of Aoba's house, Itachi frowned, "Not at home, could it be there?".
Itachi took the lunchbox and turned to leave, then came to the place where Aoba often trained.
However, there was also no one here. Only the traces of cultivation left behind in this month proved the significance of this place.
"It's not here either..."
Itachi was suddenly a little confused. He did not know where that guy would go.
However, he immediately thought of someone!
During this period of time, Aoba and that person would train here almost every day.
After having a clue, Itachi no longer stayed and went back directly.
And Guy's figure was not difficult to find, or it could be said that people would always leave a deep impression on the unique existence.
"Oh, you are talking about that strange guy. I seem to have seen that way just now."
"Thank you."
Even Itachi did not expect it to go so smoothly. He just asked a few people and found the other party's whereabouts.
After turning this street, Itachi immediately saw the target he was looking for was walking on the street upside down. The people around him could not avoid it. Their eyes fell on him as if they were looking at Ox. Many people were pointing and watching.
However, the figure was still immersed in his own world and was not affected at all.
From time to time, he would even show a bright smile and give a thumbs-up to the onlookers from time to time.
Even if he only supported himself with one hand, his body was as stable as a rock.
The other party's strong mental endurance ability shocked Itachi. It was not that he had never heard of Guy and his past achievements. But only by seeing it with his own eyes could he discover that the other party's brilliance was far more than just hard work.
If it were for him, he would probably run away immediately...
This thought suddenly sprouted in Itachi's heart.
However, he still walked towards the other party.
"What's the matter, young man?"
After discovering that the road ahead was blocked by someone, Guy subconsciously opened his mouth. Then, for some reason, he suddenly recalled that day a month ago.
It was also this scene that he said the same thing.
"Aoba didn't come to class today. Do you know where he is?"
Guy was stunned for a moment. Then, he said with some realization, "You must be Uchiha Itachi. Now, you can go to the hospital to find him. After yesterday's training, he fainted. I don't know where he lives, so I sent him to the hospital. But you don't have to worry. That guy's body is very good, and his recovery is very fast!"
When Itachi heard this, his expression did not change. He just nodded and left.
As for Guy, who was watching Itachi leave, he suddenly smiled.
'Konoha's twin stars... might not be just a joke.'
...............
In a certain ward in Konoha's hospital, Aoba, who had lived here countless times, was obviously very familiar with this place. He did not feel any discomfort at all.
Moreover, because he had completely relaxed and slept well, he was in good spirits at the moment. It was just that he had delayed school.
'Well, this kind of small matter, there is no need to pay attention to it.'
Aoba, who did not think it was a big deal, immediately began to check the harvest this time.
A whole three abilities had been upgraded by one level during training, so there was naturally no need to say more.
What was left was the reward given by the dog system!
A silver treasure chest.
The basic reward for an intermediate skill card, in addition to the additional reward for three beginner skill cards!
It seemed that his reckless behavior had indeed obtained Guy's greatest recognition. Otherwise, the dog system would not be so generous this time.
He opened the silver treasure chest first...
[Successfully opened the silver treasure chest. You have obtained [Busoshoku Haki]. ]
'Good stuff!'
Aoba immediately waved his fist, looking a little excited.
He was very familiar with the ability of Busoshoku Haki, and his potential was great. The practicality was very high whether it was used for attack or defense!
Moreover, it was very suitable for him, who could only take the physical body route for the time being!
He just didn't know if he could activate it at the same time as [Hardening].
Aoba, who suddenly thought of this, immediately stretched out his right hand and then released the [Busoshoku Haki]first. The [Busoshoku Haki] was released successfully, but because the level is only LV0, there is only a faint layer of 'airflow' Flowing on the surface. It is not obvious.
However, he was not disappointed. After all, his level had not risen yet.
Next was the highlight!
He first activated [Hardening], a layer of extremely hard stratum corneum immediately wrapped around his right hand, and then immediately activated [Busoshoku Haki].
Success!
These two abilities would not clash with each other!
Moreover, they could be used at the same time!
Feeling the feeling of his right hand being wrapped by [Hardening] and [Busoshoku Haki] at the same time, a feeling of security arose.
"By the way, there is still a skill card that is useless!"
Aoba dispersed his ability and suddenly thought of the three beginner skill cards and the intermediate skill card he got from this mission. In addition, he also kept a high-level skill card from the gold mission reward.
The beginner skill card could only upgrade his ability to level 3 at most, and above that, he would have to use the intermediate skill card, while the intermediate skill card could only strengthen his ability to level 6, while the advanced skill card could only upgrade to level 9 at most!
As for whether level 9 was the limit, whether there was a level 10 or something else, he still did not know.
However, since he had accumulated so many skill cards, it was time to convert them into real strength!
However, he was still a little hesitant about which ability to upgrade.
[Hardening], [Poor Quality Self Healing Body], and [Hakuda], these three abilities were currently LV5. In other words, by using that intermediate skill card and advanced skill card, they could immediately upgrade one of their abilities to LV7!
That was LV7!
How much time would it take to cultivate just by working hard!
Moreover, no matter what ability it was, it would inevitably become more difficult to upgrade.
Perhaps the first few levels could be leveled up very quickly, but the next few might be thousands of times more difficult.
Just thinking about the experience of this month was enough. Every day, he struggled on the line of life and death, covered in cuts and bruises. He endured the pain of wanting to die. After losing so much blood and sweat, he barely managed to level up. It was only from Level 4 to Level 5.
Aoba estimated that even if he went through this hell training again, it would not have such a good effect.
After all, in the end, he was already used to the intensity of fighting with Guy.
