"You despicable brat, I've already fallen into your hands. Whatever you say, it's up to you." After a while, the Seven-Tails lowered its body and coldly snorted.
Seeing that the other party had stopped resisting, Qin Yi smiled, and his figure gradually disappeared.
Outside, Uzumaki Nagase saw Qin Yi open his eyes and immediately approached.
"QinKage Sama, how is it?"
"It's calmed down so there are no major issues." Qin Yi nodded with a smile.
Getting along with a Bijū (Tailed Beast) was a long-term process, and Qin Yi didn't particularly care about forming a friendship with it. What he needed was to utilize its power.
Leaving the Nation of the Whirlpools, Qin Yi returned to the Nation of Qin.
After becoming the Seven-Tails Jinchūriki (Power of Human Sacrifice), he began researching a series of his own Ninjutsu.
Among them was the Space-Time Ninjutsu he valued the most.
During his three days of research on Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques), he had mostly focused on how to seal Bijū (Tailed Beasts). Now, he began delving into other aspects of Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques).
In Uzumaki Nagase's Ninjutsu, Qin Yi saw traces of space-time. If he could dissect, analyze, and incorporate his own understanding, he would undoubtedly be able to develop a truly unique Ninjutsu of his own.
This research lasted for two months.
The techniques and principles explained on the sealing scroll were more complex than he had imagined. After studying them, Qin Yi couldn't help but marvel.
"Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) could completely stand on their own as a major category."
"This power is exceptionally unique and quite miraculous!"
Within it, he not only found traces of space-time but also gained insights into barriers and arrays. What inspired him the most, however, was the hand seal technique!
"The hand seal technique I developed can be said to be a special kind of Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques). The two can be fused together."
His eyes sparkled, and a smile spread across Qin Yi's face.
Two months of research had given him a clearer understanding of Fūinjutsu (Sealing Techniques) and new ideas and paths for developing his own exclusive Ninjutsu.
Closing his eyes, Qin Yi's mind became clear as he immersed himself in the conceptualization of his new Ninjutsu.
In the blink of an eye, another three months passed.
The intensity of this development was unprecedented. In the past, he had invented Ninjutsu as easily as eating or drinking, taking no more than three or four days at most. This time, however, nearly half a year had passed.
But the results were equally gratifying.
"Slash Instant Second Stage, development complete."
"Hand Seal Technique Second Stage, development complete."
"In addition, the advancements of Rasengan, Odama Rasengan, and Rasenshuriken have all been developed."
"My strength has improved by leaps and bounds!"
Slowly opening his eyes, Qin Yi's face was filled with a smile.
He was currently sitting cross-legged in front of a secluded waterfall, opening his eyes to see the flowing river and hear the buzzing sound of the waterfall.
"The initial development is complete. Now, let's test it!"
Muttering to himself, Qin Yi stood up.
His eyes narrowed as he looked at a fish quietly floating in the river ahead.
"Slash Seal!"
His right hand rose, and his fingers quickly flickered, forming two seals. At the same time, mysterious runes appeared on the fish's body.
Then, in the next second, Qin Yi's figure suddenly disappeared. As he vanished, his body appeared in the air above the fish. His right hand reached out, and in the blink of an eye, he had grabbed the fish.
A smile appeared on his face as Qin Yi's feet were about to touch the water's surface. At that moment, he took another step, and his other hand formed a seal.
With the speed boost from the Hand Seal Technique, this happened in an instant.
At his original standing position, runes appeared, and his figure flashed back, standing on the ground.
"The moment the Slash Seal is formed, I can use it to teleport to the location of the seal."
"In addition to single-point hand seals, I can also use multi-point hand seals!"
His eyes filled with amusement, and Qin Yi's hands quickly formed seals.
Then, within a hundred meters ahead of him, runes resembling swords appeared on rocks, trees, and flowers, these were the Slash Seals.
Lifting his right foot, Qin Yi's figure suddenly disappeared.
From this moment on, his body began to flash rapidly within the hundred-meter radius, making it difficult to track his movements.
After a dozen breaths, he stopped.
"The Slash Seal is the result of the development of the Hand Seal Technique Second Stage. In the development of this technique, I combined Slash Instant with the Hand Seal Technique."
"Additionally, I incorporated a bit of the nature of the pseudo-Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Ball)."
Standing in the center of the land covered with Slash Seals, Qin Yi understood that this hundred-meter radius filled with Slash Seals was his domain.
"The Hand Seal Technique Second Stage no longer limits the range of hand seals; this seal can even appear on the enemy without them realizing it!"
"Like this!"
His eyes fixed on a flower swaying in the wind, Qin Yi formed a seal with his right hand.
"Fūton (Wind Release), Wind Cutter!"
The seal immediately dissipated, transforming into a C-Rank Ninjutsu Wind Cutter, which swiftly sliced the flower into four pieces.
Of course, the release speed of this seal was a second or two slower than the pseudo Gudōdama (Truth-Seeking Ball), and it could only release C-Rank Ninjutsu, but this was already the limit of what Qin Yi could achieve at the moment.
"Combined with Slash Instant, this killing power will be destructive!"
Additionally, Qin Yi developed another seal.
His hands quickly formed the four seals, which for Qin Yi was still just a moment's work.
He stepped out, arriving above a branch marked with a Slash Seal, and formed another seal with his right hand.
"Doton (Earth Release), Earth Pillar Stone!"
The branch shattered, and sharp earth pillars shot up, heading straight for Qin Yi's lower body. If hit, he would likely become a eunuch.
But at that moment, a smile crept onto Qin Yi's face.
"Turn Seal!"
The air around him trembled suddenly; there was no change to his surface, but the earth pillars passed right through his body as if they were penetrating air.
Following that, Qin Yi moved, disappearing from that spot and reappearing on the ground.
"The Turn Seal can redirect the enemy's attacks into the space I've constructed with the seal."
"Compared to the Flying Thunder God Technique, my Slash Instant is even more unpredictable and can truly be called Space-Time Ninjutsu!"
High-speed movement, redirecting attacks, and stealthily spreading seals all elevated the power of this technique to its peak. At the same time, this technique also combined the functions of the Flying Thunder God and the Sharingan, making it even more comprehensive.
If he were to encounter Namikaze Minato in the future, Qin Yi felt he could confidently tell him,
"You are the Yellow Flash, while I am the King's Flash!"
After conducting some other technique experiments, Qin Yi was very satisfied with this period of closed-door development.
"These techniques will suffice; the only downside is that they consume too much Chakra!"
Indeed, the combination of Slash Instant and the Hand Seal Technique consumed a massive amount of Chakra every second.
But fortunately, he still had a large battery sealed within his body.
