Ninja at the top of the food chain

Chapter 176 Explained
I don't know how much time passed until Lei Luo was woken up by a panting female voice.

"Hey! Wake up!"

It was Yuko. Thoughts flashed through his mind, Lei Luo quickly opened his eyes, but he didn't know when he had exited the mental space.

What floated in front of her was Yuko's flushed face.

Sweat wet her blond hair, causing strands of hair to tangle up and hang down. Her expression seemed very tired, and she also had a feeling of powerlessness.

Wisps of orange-red light shone down from the sky, slightly blackening Yuko's face, and at the end of his field of vision was the endless blue sky.

When did I... lie down?

Thinking of this, Lei Luo stretched out his hand subconsciously, trying to cover the sunlight from the sky, but when he stretched halfway, he suddenly stopped.

"Already, is it dusk?"

"Yeah..." Seeing that Lei Luo had woken up, Yuko withdrew her head, and at the same time stretched out a hand to hold Lei Luo's palm hanging in the air, and exerted a sudden force.

"How do you feel?" Pulling Lei Luo up from the ground, Yuko turned around and asked while walking towards the residence.

Noticing the curious look in Yuko's eyes, Lei Luo suddenly had an inexplicable premonition, and subconsciously wanted to ask the other party: Is this the first time you have used this technique on someone else?

But after thinking about it, Lei Luo gave up the idea and focused on his own brain.

From the moment he woke up, he suddenly felt refreshed, like a person who has stayed up all night and is full of sleep all at once, that feeling...

"It's cool." A smile unconsciously bloomed on the corner of his mouth, Lei Luo closed his eyes slightly, as if he was enjoying the feeling of this moment.

"Heh~" Seeing Lei Luo's lazy look, Yuko twitched the corner of her mouth, and couldn't help complaining, "You're really cool, I'm almost exhausted."

As she spoke, Yuko kept walking, and continued to walk forward. Looking at her steps, she seemed a little anxious.

Lei Luo judged that the other party must have consumed a lot of energy and wanted to take a rest quickly, so he immediately followed up.

"What is the principle of this technique?"

While walking, Lei Luo asked.

Without thinking too much, Yuko gave a short answer: "Refine your soul."

Lei Luo had a clear understanding in his heart, and then asked: "Can this help me eliminate the hidden danger of soul fusion?"

As if thinking that Lei Luo's question was very low-level, Yuko put on an expression unwilling to say more: "Otherwise?"

"why?"

Perhaps Lei Luo's endless questions annoyed Yuko, who took a deep breath and explained patiently:
"When you got hit by Hyakki Night Walk, that kind of soul fusion is not so much a fusion as a collision."

"The power of the hundred ghosts has not completely disappeared, but has penetrated into your soul like a thorn. Although you can borrow their power, that power does not actually belong to you."

"That's why your time is often out of control. This is because of Hyakki...or Kato Dan's residual consciousness is at work."

"And the shadow of my heart... I believe you have also experienced it. It is to heat your soul and melt your soul and the thorns at the same time, so as to completely complete a certain degree of harmony."

"Do you understand now?"

"I see." Lei Luo nodded, and then thought of another question, but after looking at Yuko's tired face, he finally held back and didn't say anything.

Who knows, Lei Luo didn't ask, but Yuko replied without turning her head: "It will take at least two months."

Lei Luo opened his mouth, but the words condensed in his heart finally turned into: "Thank you, Yuko."

"It's nothing." Yuko turned her back to Lei Luo, with a smile unconsciously on the corner of her mouth, "Mutual benefit, fair trade, isn't this your life creed?"

"I think that's fine."

……

Time flies by, and five days pass in the blink of an eye.

In addition to helping Lei Luo with "chemotherapy" every day, Yuko also needs to receive the latter's various training instructions in order to master the art of darkness as soon as possible.

I have to say that after doing so much work, Yuko has multiple personalities to support her, and she still inevitably feels what it means to "live the day like a year".

Lei Luo's intentions, she understands that it is also necessary to strengthen her own strength, and it is because of this that Yuko can persevere and quickly become proficient in the art of dark work.

During this process, from time to time, Lei Luo used time fluctuations to pack some illusion knowledge to Yuko.

Therefore, the latter is also trying to use these newly acquired knowledge to improve some of the dark row's spells, in order to reduce its chakra consumption, so that this spell can form her combat power as quickly as possible.

This kind of pragmatism has always been the idea that Lei Luo pursued when he was learning ninjutsu. Now it seems that Yuko has touched a little bit of the essence.

"Illusion. Dark action!" Yuko made a seal with both hands, quickly mobilized the chakra in his body, and then yelled loudly, locking the target on Lei Luo who was not far in front.

In an instant, waves of invisible illusion chakra waves enveloped Lei Luo, and quickly attacked the latter's mind from all directions.

Intuition sent an early warning, Lei Luo glanced at Yuko two meters away expressionlessly, his steps backed up slightly as his eyes flickered, and his body retreated ten meters in an instant, leaving only a few blurred afterimages on the spot .

"It's empty." When he stood firm, Lei Luo commented in a neutral tone. Seeing that Yuko's face hadn't changed, his heart moved, and he turned his head slightly behind him.

Another Yuko suddenly rushed out from the woods not far away. After smiling slightly at Lei Luo, he opened his hands suddenly, and the ninjutsu prepared before was about to be used.

"Shadow clone? It's very hidden." He praised Yuko with a little surprise, and Lei Luo changed his figure again, and the whole person moved to the side of the first Yuko like a phantom.

The arm was raised, and a brain collapsed on Yuko's forehead, directly beating the girl who was staring at her dizzily, and she sat down on the ground.

"I guess this is true."

Unwavering words came out of Lei Luo's mouth. He first turned his head to look at the other Yuko, and seeing that the other Yuko had dissipated into smoke as he expected, he turned his head again and said coldly:
"Your intentions are too obvious. This level of offensive, let alone forcing me out, even if you come to a Jonin at random, you can't defeat it."

At the end, Lei Luo concluded: "Your current technique of walking in darkness has an effective range of three meters. With such a short distance, you have only two choices..."

"The first one is to use your mind control ability to control some of the weaker enemies, and use it to launch a siege against the strong ones you can't control, so that the opponents will throw a mouse attack, and you will take the opportunity to get closer and look for the time to cast the dark line .”

"The second, which is the current situation, you need to use your mind-reading ability reasonably to obtain information, bury your shadow avatar in an unexpected location, and at the same time be ready for dark action at all times, and use your shadow avatar to force the opponent to approach you."

"Release the Dark Line first... I really don't know whether to call you stupid or naive."

Yuko rubbed her forehead aggrievedly, and got up from the ground. Perhaps Lei Luo's criticism was too harsh, so she retorted a little unconvinced:
"The casting speed of the Dark Line is already very fast. I don't think there is any problem with using it first, and I also prepared a shadow clone, just to deal with the second situation you mentioned!"

After finishing speaking, Yuko complained rather depressingly: "My dark action was successfully cast, but you can still dodge it. This speed is too abnormal."

"The flying speed of the illusion can't keep up with your moving speed, Lei Luo, are you really human?"
