"Is there anyone else who wants to fight my disciple? Oh, I forgot to mention, you can't use ninjutsu next time, or I'll just take action directly. Oh, and by the way, he uses internal energy."

Chapter 350, Experiencing the Hot Spring

"Hidden force, it's actually hidden force."

No one had noticed it before, because Ye Gucheng had been too violent and had stunned everyone, so no one thought of this possibility.

"Are you kidding me? Even if he has internal strength, it shouldn't be this strong!"

Some people said that they had gained the approval of those around them.

As for fighting Ye Gucheng, no one wanted to do that. The previous battles had already terrified them enough. If they went up there, they might get their faces slapped too.

"Is there no one else? If not, let's continue the National Martial Arts Tournament. There should still be people who want to challenge my clone!"

For Yi Shuihan, this was just a minor incident.

The National Martial Arts Tournament continued, but because of Ye Gucheng, it seemed to dampen everyone's enthusiasm. After 10 consecutive matches without anyone winning, no one stepped up anymore.

The National Martial Arts Tournament seems destined to end in a disappointing fashion.

"Kakashi, Guy, why don't you give it a try?"

What's going on with these two? Weren't they so cocky before? Why are they so deflated now?

Was it frightened?

Yi Shuihan's guess was actually correct; they were indeed frightened. Although they were looking forward to fighting Yi Shuihan, being humiliated in front of so many people was a different story.

The so-called rewards for victory weren't very appealing to them. As for the subsequent cultivation techniques, Yi Shuihan would most likely give them to them if they asked, and he had already given them plenty of pointers.

After waiting for a full three minutes without any movement, Yi Shuihan decided not to continue and directly announced the result: the winner was Minato Namikaze.

In front of everyone, Yi Shuihan called Namikaze Minato to his side and then pointed a finger at his forehead.

"Alright, come find me in three days to claim the rest of the reward!"

Minato Namikaze nodded dazedly. His head was buzzing and his mind was in a daze from Yi Shuihan's methods. Just now, when Yi Shuihan's fingers touched his forehead, he felt a stream of information appear in his mind, which turned out to be the cultivation methods of Transforming Energy and Embracing the Core.

The fact that information can be transmitted directly into a person's brain in this way is something that Minato Namikaze could never have imagined before; it's beyond what humans can do.

Yi Shuihan returned to the podium.

"That's enough about the business. Now I'll talk about something personal. As you all know, this is a hot spring resort, but it's definitely different from ordinary hot springs. You can see what's under your feet; this is our hot spring. Some of you may already know about its effects, but others may not."

As Yi Shuihan said this, the Third Hokage's face turned ugly. From his perspective, he did not want the effects of the hot spring to be completely exposed to other people's eyes.

Instinctively, he wanted to speak up and stop them, but found himself locked in by three powerful auras—the Kazekage, the Tsuchikage, and the Raikage.

Somewhat dejected, the Third Generation finally gave up trying to stop it; he knew it was too late now.

"The hot spring beneath your feet has the effect of healing injuries and increasing chakra levels. As for the specific effects, you can experience them for yourselves."

As he spoke, Yi Shuihan revealed an extremely eerie smile, and he reached out and grabbed at the air.

The outer garments of the people below suddenly turned into pieces. Don't get the wrong idea, Yi Shuihan still kept their inner garments.

At the same time, their seats suddenly disappeared, and almost everyone fell into the hot spring without warning.

"Help! Help! I can't swim!"

A person is struggling in the hot spring, their face filled with terror.

"Come on, the hot spring isn't even as tall as you!"

"..."

There are even girls not wearing bras! What a mistake! Yi Shuihan's eyes were fixed on a certain direction, where a girl was covering her breasts in fear, her face full of embarrassment, while many men around her kept glancing at her.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen this before?!"

In her shame and anger, the girl roared loudly, leaning her body towards the bottom of the hot spring, leaving only her head above water. It wasn't that she didn't want to leave, but if she did, more people would see her body. For a moment, she could only try her best to hide her body in the water. At this moment, she regretted not wearing underwear, and of course, she hated Yi Shuihan.

Yi Shuihan's sudden attack caused quite a commotion at the venue, but since they were all elites, they quickly discovered the benefits of the hot spring and immediately shifted their attention.

Those martial arts practitioners who were not originally ninjas but only practiced traditional Chinese martial arts were also extremely shocked when they felt the chakra rapidly increasing in their bodies, and most of them were stunned.

“Dai, you stay here and keep an eye on them, and tell them about the hot springs at our resort.”

After giving Matt Dai a brief instruction, Yi Shuihan left.

"What an amazing hot spring! I thought it was just an ordinary hot spring resort."

Ōnoki felt the changes in his body and murmured to himself.

"As expected, this person is extraordinary, and the hot spring resort he runs is also extraordinary. Where did such a person come from?"

"No, if Konoha had the help of this hot spring, wouldn't its strength have increased significantly already? We must restrict it. I wonder if we could allow him to open a branch in our country!"

While the martial arts practitioners from other countries were still relatively calm, the ninjas from other nations quickly realized the changes brought about by the hot springs and their minds began to stir.

Starting today, it's definitely impossible for Konoha to monopolize this hot spring; otherwise, all the other countries would probably unite to attack Konoha.

At this point, Might Guy started talking about the hot spring resort. After hearing that there was a daily limit on the number of spots, these people had an idea: they had to get people to grab the spots, and they couldn't let Konoha have all the good stuff.

"Fortunately, there are still fixed daily slots." The Third Generation comforted himself, observing the ill-intentioned looks in his old rivals' eyes.

……

"Are you sure what you're doing won't pose any danger to Konoha?"

"Definitely not. Even if you don't believe me, you should believe in yourself. With your strength, what's the use of other countries having a few more Kage-level characters?"

Tsunade has asked this question more than 10 times, which shows that she truly has deep feelings for Konoha.

Chapter 351, Completion Rate Improvement

If Might Guy hadn't chased them away at the last minute, those martial arts practitioners probably wouldn't have planned to leave at all. As for the ninjas, they fared a little better, since the black iron-level hot springs weren't of much help to them.

The original purpose of the National Martial Arts Tournament was to flex our muscles, but that purpose was actually achieved during the visit of the Three Shadows. Therefore, this National Martial Arts Tournament only served two other purposes.

Firstly, it serves as a means of spreading the teachings. It is believed that after this conference, Yi Shuihan's title as a propagator of Chinese martial arts will be firmly established. In the future, as Chinese martial arts develop, his status in the field will be equivalent to that of the Sage of Six Paths in the field of ninjutsu.

Secondly, the hot springs were publicized, and this time his hot spring resort was no longer only known in Konoha.

Shortly after the National Martial Arts Tournament, the three Shadows visited him separately, wanting him to open a branch, and promising not to pursue the matter of the National Martial Arts Academy any further.

Yi Shuihan agreed after only a slight hesitation. In fact, the reason he let them experience the hot spring was to open a branch.

Of course, this branch is definitely not as good as the main store. He only plans to open it up to the bronze level, and in addition to this kind of cultivation hot spring, he also plans to create hot springs with other effects.

More common types of hot springs, such as beauty hot springs and vitality hot springs, are also planned to open, and there will be no limit on the number of people.

These days he has figured out that he can achieve the same effect without relying on dragon blood, just by using formations. Otherwise, he would not be planning to open branches on a large scale.

Aside from the main store, he plans to solve problems using formations, but the main store is significantly different.

Just three months later,

The Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Thunder have all opened multi-dimensional hot spring resorts, and they have received a good response in a short period of time.

According to data, the most popular hot springs are beauty hot springs, followed by vitality hot springs. As for training hot springs, they are not well-known and are probably monopolized by ninjas, so ordinary people are unaware of them.

Of course, the development of the National Martial Arts Academy was also very rapid. After removing the obstacles, a large number of strong people were created in a short period of time.

However, while many people have broken through to the level of Ming Jin, very few have broken through to the level of An Jin, and there are none yet at the level of Hua Jin. This shows that even though it is easier to cultivate than chakra, it is not so easy to break through to a high level.

Without other interventions, it would take at least 10 years for a large number of cultivators to reach the Transformation Realm, even though the spiritual energy in this world is relatively abundant.

In truth, Yi Shuihan can afford to wait. By the time the story begins, the strength of those below the Kage level will probably be similar to that of a ninja.

However, it's uncertain whether the Chinese martial arts system will become completely similar to ninjutsu if we don't continue to interfere. After all, there's the possibility of World War IV and the appearance of Kaguya-sama. If we're not careful, the world could be destroyed. We can't expect the plot to be entirely correct.

Yi Shuihan was confident in defeating Kaguya-hime, but there was no good way to completely eliminate her for the time being, since even the Sage of Six Paths could only seal her.

Based on the current strength of the Sage of Six Paths, it can be inferred that his strength at his peak was roughly equivalent to a Bronze 6-star. Even he could only seal him, so it is likely that Yi Shui Han Kong would not be able to completely destroy Kaguya Otsutsuki now.

Speaking of strength, Yi Shuihan's current apparent strength is already at Bronze 6-star, making him even stronger in combat.

The cultivation system's realm is at the peak of the late stage of Returning to Emptiness, which is a state of about to break through, but it is uncertain when exactly the breakthrough will occur; it could be the next moment or it could be decades later.

Returning to the state of emptiness and reaching the state of harmony with the Dao is still quite difficult, but once he reaches the state of harmony with the Dao, Yi Shuihan can become an immortal in a very short time by relying on the supernatural powers he has mastered.

It's fair to say that once he achieves enlightenment, Kaguya Otsutsuki would be someone he could easily deal with.

In the past few months, Yi Shuihan hasn't just been busy opening new branches; he's also been focusing on another mission: the Shadow Challenge.

Defeating someone with the title of Shadow is not difficult; the difficulty lies in finding someone with the title of Shadow. Fortunately, after some experimentation, Yi Shuihan also discovered a small bug: as long as the previous Shadow approves, the next Shadow can be considered a mission target as long as they have the strength of a Shadow.

So when opening a branch, Yi Shuihan asked them to bring out all the strong people to meet, and then made a request that seemed strange to others: to spar with someone of the Shadow level or above. Moreover, during the sparring, the current Shadow would acknowledge that the person sparring with Yi Shuihan was the next Shadow.

Yi Shuihan's hot springs were too attractive, and Yi Shuihan said he wouldn't open a branch if the request wasn't agreed to, so his request was granted.

It's all a matter of a few words. Once the sparring is over, things will be back on track, and there won't be any losses.

By the time he returned to Konoha, Yi Shuihan had defeated 15 Kage. Although there were definitely a few more hidden ones, Yi Shuihan was satisfied.

This exceeds the original demand by 400%.

They found the Third Hokage in Konoha, and then added 10 more people at the cost of 10 slots. It has to be said that Konoha's strong people are indeed far superior to those of other countries.

With three months left in the year, Yi Shuihan set off for the Land of Water in order to further increase the completion rate.

Of course, he himself did not have high expectations for this, because the Land of Water was not very strong, and it would be good if there were two or three Kage-level powerhouses.

"At this point in time, I wonder if the Daimyo of the Land of Water is under the control of Madara Uchiha!"

Outside of Misty Shadow Village, Yi Shuihan frowned. He could hear the sounds of fighting from a great distance, clearly indicating that he had come at an inopportune time.

Generally speaking, there are ninjas guarding the villages of the five great nations, but Yi Shuihan didn't see a single one, as even the guarding ninjas had joined the battle.

No wonder the Mist Shadows weren't in the third war; their internal situation was already in such a state that they simply didn't have the strength to participate in the great war anymore!

I wonder if a third world war will ever happen?

Yi Shuihan suddenly realized that, after all, the world order had changed a lot because of his existence. Whether it was martial arts or hot springs for cultivation, it was enough to make all countries temporarily quiet down.

However, if the Third Shinobi World War really was started by that guy Madara Uchiha, it probably would have continued!

And then there's Black Zetsu, that mother-obsessed psychopath, who will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble. After all, if the ninja world continues to be so quiet, it will have a certain impact on his resurrection plan, which is definitely not what he wants to see.

Chapter 352, Killing the Enemy and Saving Lives

Coming back to his senses from his own delusions, Yi Shuihan noticed that a group of people were rapidly approaching him at a speed roughly equivalent to that of a Jonin.

"Chase him! Don't let him get away! He's infested with a demon. Kill him!"

The first thing you can see is a middle-aged man who looks to be about 30 years old. He is covered in wounds, especially his abdomen, which is still bleeding.

Clearly, this was a person being chased, with about a dozen people with ferocious expressions pursuing him.

It harbors a demon, so it must be the owner of a bloodline limit!

Is it during the Blood Mist period, with the Fourth Mizukage in power? Shouldn't it be the Third Mizukage?

There is relatively little knowledge about the Land of Water, Yi Shui Han. In the original work, it appears much less frequently than other countries. If Konoha is the protagonist and the other four great countries are supporting characters, then the Land of Water is the supporting character among supporting characters.

In Yi Shuihan's memory, the Fourth Mizukage was an idiot. In order to consolidate his position, he actually created the Blood Mist, rejecting all Bloodline Limit holders. While others were thinking about how to strengthen their own power and then go out to fight Konoha and seize territory, he was the only one who was stirring up civil war.

The Hidden Mist Village has a relatively large number of clans with bloodline limits, and they are quite powerful. The most famous ones are the Ice Release Mizuki Clan and the Bone Release Kaguya Clan. In terms of strength, they can at least be compared to the Hidden Leaf Village's Cataract Clan and the Uchiha Clan. Of course, this excludes the upgraded Tenseigan of the Sharingan Mangekyou Sharingan and Byakugan.

Besides the initial outbreak, there were other bloodline families that Yi Shuihan didn't know about. In any case, Wuying suffered heavy losses in this civil war. Originally, its overall strength was not weak among the five major powers, but later it became the weakest. This was even without participating in the third war.

The aversion to bloodstains is understandable. In other countries, having bloodstains is something to be envied, but here it means having to hide and be hated by everyone.

Toyota Ao was at his wit's end. His body had suffered serious injuries, and he would surely die if he didn't receive timely treatment. However, he didn't have time to treat himself, as there were still a lot of pursuers behind him!

His vision was beginning to blur, and he was on the verge of despair. His will to not die sustained him as he fought his way out of the encirclement, but now the aftereffects were almost kicking in.

What's going on? There's someone here! What's he doing here? Judging from his attire, is he an ordinary person? Oh no, if I show up here now, they'll kill me. Hopefully, I can buy him some time!

"Get out of here!"

As they crossed the Yi River, Toyota Qing quickly said something.

Yi Shuihan, who originally didn't intend to get involved in this matter, changed his mind slightly because of this sentence and decided to save his life.

"Outsider, huh? You're unlucky to have met me. I'll finish you off with one slash."

The pursuers also saw Yi Shuihan. They were only slightly stunned before revealing a bloodthirsty expression. The leader swung his knife directly at him, as if he were casually crushing an ant.

Those behind them were not surprised at all; on the contrary, they were quite excited, as if they were the ones wielding the knife.

They can no longer be called normal people. The long-term high-pressure life and the wrong values ​​have turned them into true ninjas, tools that have no interest in anything other than missions and killing. Although they wear human skin, their inner selves have become devils.

Indeed, under the rule that the graduation test for ninja academies is to kill one's comrades, how can one survive without becoming a devil?

Anyone else here would probably be dead already. The leader of this pursuit is quite strong; a casual slash from him would likely kill even a Chunin.
