Chapter 809 Explosion
Bai Qing shouted, and a visible blast of icy air blew from her mouth, instantly enveloping the unsuspecting Zhang Hai. In a flash, Zhang Hai's body was frozen solid, becoming an ice sculpture.
Bai stared at the secret technique she had just unleashed, a look of surprise on her face. She hadn't expected the newly formed technique to be so powerful. But then, a look of worry appeared on her face.
"Lord Ye... are you alright?" Bai asked anxiously, worried that she might freeze Zhang Hai to death and how to undo the secret technique.
Within Zhang Hai's frozen body, a blazing flame suddenly erupted. The power of the flame instantly shattered the ice covering his entire body, which then vaporized into water vapor due to the intense heat, freeing him from his confinement.
After escaping, Zhang Hai couldn't help but shiver. Upon seeing this, Bai immediately stepped forward and hugged him, trying to warm him up with his body.
Xi Yan blushed and turned her head away, pretending not to have seen what was happening.
After Bai released him, Zhang Hai excitedly exclaimed, "That's right! The previous approach was indeed wrong! Ice Release should be developed towards control; that's more suitable for you to utilize!"
He felt his chakra and blood flow slow down due to the freezing cold, and a sense of shock washed over him. He realized that if Haku had used even more chakra, he might have even been able to intervene in a Kage-level battle in a sudden situation!
“Bai, although you were frozen just now, the flow of chakra and blood in your body was greatly affected, which will greatly affect your combat ability,” Zhang Hai said in a deep voice. “Ice Release has great potential. If you focus on it, you can already kill most ninjas instantly.” He affirmed Bai’s new direction, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Zhang Hai looked at Bai, his eyes gleaming with excitement. He recalled the theory proposed by scientists in his previous life that "absolute freezing can freeze thoughts, preserve corpses, and slow down death," and a bold plan quickly took shape in his mind.
"Haku, your Ice Release might be the key to defeating the Third Raikage!" Zhang Hai thought to himself. He planned to combine it with the Spirit Transformation Technique to maximize the effect of Haku's Ice Release. He would find the right moment to freeze the Third Raikage instantly, completely destroying his cellular activity, and then use his powerful swordsmanship to deliver a fatal blow!
Thinking of this, Zhang Hai's gaze towards Bai became intense. Bai was puzzled by this, but she could sense that Zhang Hai was very happy.
Zhang Hai patted Bai's shoulder and earnestly told her, "You are stronger than I think. Work hard and don't waste your talent. I believe that one day you can give me endless help."
Bai took a deep breath, nodded firmly, and his eyes were filled with anticipation for the future.
Under Zhang Hai's tutelage, Bai and Xiyan underwent intensive training at the training ground. After gaining a new direction, Bai's Ice Release technique became more than just an offensive ninjutsu; she even simulated an ice armor similar to the Raikage's lightning armor, boasting astonishing defensive capabilities.
After a day of training, Zhang Hai carried the exhausted Bai on his back and quietly asked her if all her people had died.
Bai answered sadly, "Yes." Her voice was soft, tinged with sorrow.
Zhang Hai suggested that he take him to visit Bai's clan's territory sometime. Bai asked him curiously why he had this idea.
Zhang Hai explained, "I think the Ice Release bloodline limit has huge potential, and I hope to find a way to quickly improve Haku from there."
Bai let out a rare, cold snort. When Zhang Hai asked her, puzzled, if she didn't want to go back, Bai sighed and said, "We'll talk about it later." She inwardly lamented that Zhang Hai didn't understand women's hearts; she had thought he…
After experiencing numerous battles during the Third Shinobi World War, Zhang Hai's swordsmanship and combat experience improved by leaps and bounds, resulting in a dramatic increase in his combat strength. It's no exaggeration to say that any ninja who hasn't reached Kage-level strength would be instantly defeated by him.
After a period of intensive training, Xi Yan and Bai's attacks have already caused Zhang Hai some trouble even when he is not using his full strength, which is an amazing achievement.
Every night, Zhang Hai would use various precious medicinal herbs to restore the strength of the exhausted Bai and Xiyan, and stimulate their potential. This was thanks to the guidance he had received from two geniuses, Tsunade and Orochimaru, which allowed him to reach an astonishing level in his research on human development.
Because of her young age, Yugao's focus was mainly on solidifying her foundation and improving her physical strength, so her progress was not yet obvious. However, Haku had no such concerns. Through the stimulation of a series of precious medicinal herbs, his chakra levels increased dramatically in a short period of time.
Zhang Hai estimated that Bai's current strength was already at the elite Jonin level, and if paired with an offensive ninja, she could even pose a threat to a Kage-level ninja. He was very satisfied because this meant that they were now capable of protecting themselves on the battlefield and even assisting him in completing some highly difficult missions.
In Konoha, only Zhang Hai had the financial resources to provide Bai and Xiyan with a large quantity of precious medicinal herbs. Some of these herbs could even save severely injured ninjas and were extremely valuable. He brewed these herbs into bathwater for the two of them to use daily. The power of the herbs penetrated through their skin, continuously nourishing their bodies and stimulating their potential.
Zhang Hai was very satisfied with the significant improvement the two men had made in a short period of time, believing it would be sufficient to handle routine situations on the battlefield in the future. He knew that the training time left for them would be very short, because war waits for no one.
Sure enough, a day later, an ANBU member summoned Zhang Hai, informing him that the Hokage wanted him to come over. Zhang Hai knew in his heart that the war must be escalating. With the reconstruction work on track, the village no longer needed a large number of ninjas stationed there, and the Konoha ninjas needed to return to the battlefield to continue fighting for the village.
When Zhang Hai arrived at the Hokage's office, he found that the mountain of documents had been reduced by more than half, and the atmosphere had become more relaxed. Shinku was there assisting with the paperwork; upon seeing Zhang Hai enter, she nodded to him and then continued working.
The Third Hokage didn't say much, but handed Zhang Hai a document and said in a deep voice, "The Hidden Cloud Village and the Hidden Leaf Village are currently at a temporary truce. The reason for the truce is in this document."
Curious, Zhang Hai took the document and opened it to read. The document stated: An unknown S-rank rogue ninja bounty hunter, supposedly a ninja from a small village, suddenly appeared during the Third Shinobi World War, specializing in "picking up corpses" on the battlefield, especially capturing ninjas with bloodline limits, and then using puppets to trade and extort money from these bloodline limit clans. Konoha, Iwagakure, and Kumogakure were all extorted for considerable sums, and the major bloodline limit clans hated him intensely.
Ultimately, Kumogakure (Hidden Cloud Village) initiated a truce, agreeing to first eliminate this "rotten apple" together. To this end, they opened three battlefields, aiming to completely eradicate this rogue ninja. Konoha, under siege, naturally agreed with pleasure, as it offered temporary relief from the pressure, and fighting together was a viable option.
