Hokage: What Should I Do If I’m Not A Genius?

Valley of the End

Important locations in Hokage have been the site of three important battles.

The first time, the final battle between Madara and Hashirama ended in Hashirama's victory and briefly maintained peace in Konoha.

The second time, Sasuke defected, and Naruto fought to recover Sasuke. The two had a fierce battle. The second form of the cursed seal and the tailed beast's coat appeared for the first time. In the end, Naruto showed mercy and Sasuke left victoriously.

The third time, it was still the battle between Naruto and Sasuke. Unlike the last time, which was a small fight, this time the battle was devastating.

Sasuke was blessed with the power of Yin from eight half-tailed beasts Chakra and Six Paths.

Half of Nine Tails and a small amount of Eight Tailed Beasts Chakra, the power of Six Paths Yang, Naruto who is blessed by Sage Mode with all the natural energy here.

This battle completely destroyed the terrain of the Valley of the End. Although the two were tied, it ended with Sasuke surrendering and the two also lost an arm each in this battle.

However, Taiyi did not come here to check in as a tourist, but as a place for his future cultivation.

Without the little Nine Tails plug-in, Taiyi could only find other ways to improve his strength.

The battle with Ai made Taichi understand that physical fitness is really important, not to mention the future battle with Ōtsutsuki. Ninjutsu has basically no effect. Only Senjutsu, Taijutsu, and Blood Successor Snare level attacks can work.

Among the above three abilities, the one closest to Taiyi is physical skills. The waterfall here can not only exercise the body, but also assist in the practice of sword skills.

Another point is that practicing Wind Style Chakra's Nature Transformation imitates Naruto's training method, first cutting leaves and then waterfalls.

Although Taiyi can already cast Wind Style·Rasengan, but that is with the help of the little Nine Tails. If Taiyi alone can succeed once out of ten times, it would be good. In the end, the cultivation of Nature Transformation is still not enough.

Moreover, Nature Transformation can also be used in knife skills, killing two birds with one stone.

Put the luggage you brought on the ground, find a good place to pitch the tent, and then place the pots and pans.

The Valley of the End is not very far from the village, but Taiyi spent the whole morning purchasing supplies, and it was already afternoon when he arrived at the Valley of the End. After all this work, the sky was already dark.

Taiyi can only deal with one thing first, go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow to start formal training.

…

The next day, Tai got together very early, mainly because the sound of the waterfall was too loud, so Tai didn't sleep much.

I found some dry firewood in the forest, lit a fire, heated up the instant food I bought, and had a full breakfast.

Taichi picked up the Short Sword, stripped down to his underwear, and came to the edge of the waterfall.

A silver-white waterfall sloped down from between the statues of Madara and Hashirama. The huge water flow hit the pool, creating a thunderous rumble, and dense water droplets splashed on Tai's face.

Taiyi swallowed, looked down at his thin body, and then at the huge waterfall in front of him.

I thought to myself: "Why don't we change places? I won't just shoot myself to death, right?!"

Of course this was just a joke, Taiyi clenched the Short Sword in his hand and walked into the waterfall with firm eyes.

"Whoa!"

The next second, Taiyi's figure disappeared from the waterfall. A moment later, Taiyi emerged from the water pool not far from the waterfall.

"Ahem!"

Taiyi lay helplessly on the water, so careless!

The water surface under the impact of the waterfall was extremely unstable, and coupled with the powerful impact of the waterfall, Taiyi fell into the water the moment he stepped into the waterfall.

After some adjustments, Taiyi regrouped and rushed into the waterfall again. No surprise, Taiyi was rushed out again.

I don’t believe Xie Taiyi tried again, but it’s still the same.

Taiyi lay weakly on the water, feeling that he was not here to practice, but to learn to swim.

At this time, Taiyi saw a tree in the upper middle of the waterfall, and a tree in the lower middle. The two trees happened to grow out of the middle of the waterfall. Taiyi's eyes lit up, and he stood up in a hurry, and jumped to the upper part. on the tree.

The impact of the water flow splashed dense water on the tree trunk, and the water splashed on Taiyi's face. The tree trunk was very slippery, and he needed to concentrate his Chakra to stand on the tree trunk.

This Zhenghe Taiyi idea can not only exercise physical fitness, but also exercise Chakra control ability, killing two birds with one stone.

Taiyi tentatively walked into the waterfall, and the continuous water hit Taiyi's thin body.

The powerful impact made Taiyi stumble and almost fell down, but fortunately, the impact here was much weaker than at the bottom. Taiyi could barely support it, but don't think about practicing swords for the time being. You need to wait until your body can withstand it. Only waterfall impact is possible.

In this way, Taiyi finally officially entered the first stage of cultivation, and his work and rest became regular.

Get up early, do physical training, then have breakfast, then undergo waterfall baptism until the chakra is exhausted.

After restoring the Chakra, perform knife training until the physical strength is exhausted, recover the physical strength, and accept the waterfall baptism again until the Chakra is exhausted.

The days passed like this, and finally Taiyi was able to do simple activities under the waterfall.

So, knife skills training began under the waterfall.

In the early days, Short Sword always fell off due to the powerful impact of the waterfall, and Taiyi's wrists were often injured.

Fortunately, Taichi knew how to use medical ninjutsu and brought a lot of medicine. He would check his body every day and treat any injuries in time to prevent hidden injuries.

After more than half a month, Taiyi could finally wield the Short Sword easily under the impact of the waterfall.

However, the supplies Taiyi purchased were also exhausted, and Taiyi could only return to the village to replenish them.

Back in the village, Taiyi paid special attention to see if anything special had happened recently, but fortunately, he didn't hear anything major from the villagers.

Taichi took it all in, and returned to the Valley of the End with the replenished supplies for the next stage of training.

Cut the waterfall!

But instead of cutting it with your hands, you use a knife, attach the Wind Style Chakra to the Short Sword, and use the Short Sword to cut the waterfall.

Because of the loss of Nine Tails and the lack of Chakra, Taiyi was unable to use Shadow Clone to assist in training and could only do it himself.

Cutting towards the waterfall one by one, the days passed by.

It went from having no effect at all to being able to cut the waterfall a little bit.

Finally, hard work pays off.

One month later.

Taichi closed his eyes, holding a Short Sword, standing on a tree trunk facing the waterfall.

Little bits of water splashed on Taiyi's face, and the blue Wind Style Chakra on the Short Sword flowed slowly.

Taiyi's eyes suddenly opened, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

A "swish" sound.

A cold light flashed, and the waterfall in front of Taiyi split into two.

The continuous flow of water stopped abruptly due to the light of the knife, revealing the smooth stone wall behind the waterfall, with a deep knife mark on the stone wall.

Later, the waterfall resumed its flow and the stone walls were covered up.

"Success!"
