Seimei raised his hands, meticulously formed the hand seals, channeled his internal chakra, and performed the ninjutsu - Wind Release: Wind Wings!
In the next moment, a pair of light blue wings appeared on his back.
Compared to its initial state, after advancing to lv1 and reaching the beginner level, his chakra wings had undergone many changes.
The most obvious one was their length.
They had directly shrunk from about two meters to less than one and a half meters, looking much smaller.
However, although their length had decreased, their effectiveness had significantly increased.
With a thought, a burst of Wind Release chakra was ejected from the wings.
Following that, Seimei's feet left the sea surface, and his entire body levitated.
As the chakra continued to be ejected, he rose higher and higher.
Soon, he was far away from the sea surface, reaching high into the sky.
Looking at the Eagle's Beak Cliff, which was constantly shrinking in the distance below, Seimei instinctively felt a slight palpitation. This was a normal reaction for a land-dwelling creature suddenly reaching high altitudes, commonly known as a fear of heights!
Although Seimei had been continuously practicing "Wind Release: Wind Wings" for some time, he had never been to such a high place before. It was truly his first time.
"Inhale... Exhale..."
Taking a deep breath and then slowly exhaling, Seimei overcame his fear, stopped focusing on the ground below, and with a thought, he controlled the chakra wings on his back to gently flap.
In the next moment, his figure flew forward.
That's right, after his "Wind Release: Wind Wings" advanced to lv1, he could already fly.
As for the flying speed...
Seimei experimented for a while and estimated a result of about ten meters per second, or thirty-six kilometers per hour.
This speed...
was about the same as an electric scooter in his previous life.
In this world, it wasn't even as fast as most ninjas running.
Another aspect was chakra consumption. Flying with "Wind Release: Wind Wings" consumed a considerable amount of chakra.
Even Seimei felt a bit心疼about it.
Of course, it wasn't without its advantages.
At the very least, when flying with "Wind Release: Wind Wings," he basically didn't need to worry about the terrain below.
And flying in a straight line would undoubtedly save a lot of time.
Moreover, it was currently only at lv1. As the level increased, it could be further improved, so it could be said that it had a promising future!
Collecting his thoughts, Seimei glanced at the sky. The sun had already set, and night was about to fall.
So, he didn't linger any longer and flew straight towards Eagle's Beak Cliff.
However, as soon as he got close, several Konoha ninjas emerged from their cover, drew their kunai, looked up at him, and shouted, "Who's there?"
Hearing this, Seimei looked towards the sound, activated his Sharingan, and realized they were sentries from the stronghold.
Having just successfully developed the flying technique, he was a bit excited and forgot that this direction was always under close surveillance by the stronghold.
Flying over so blatantly like this, he would naturally be noticed.
'Maybe I should learn a ninjutsu for concealment...'
A thought crossed Seimei's mind, but he quickly suppressed it.
Now wasn't the time to think about these things. To avoid causing a bigger misunderstanding, Seimei flapped his wings and flew down.
"Captain?"
After he landed, they saw his appearance and exclaimed in surprise.
"Mm, it's me."
Seimei nodded and responded, then immediately gave the password.
Naturally, they couldn't rely on appearance for identification here.
After all, whether it was the "Transformation Technique" or other ninjutsu, they could all change a ninja's appearance.
Therefore, passwords and the like were very common.
Only after Seimei gave the password did these people completely relax.
Then, someone curiously asked, "Captain, did you succeed?"
As he spoke, this person looked at the chakra wings on his back that hadn't yet dissipated.
Hearing this, Seimei glanced at the person and, seeing that it was a young Chunin from the Uchiha clan, immediately understood.
Only someone from the same clan would ask such a question.
After all, no matter in which world, cultivation was a relatively private matter, especially for ninjas who valued intelligence.
Although he hadn't kept his attempts to develop a flying technique a secret, and many people in the stronghold knew about it.
However, they wouldn't casually ask about it.
Only those who were from the same clan and had a close relationship with him would inquire so directly.
Perhaps because he was happy, Seimei wasn't displeased. He nodded slightly and then walked away.
Looking at his departing figure, Uchiha Wakamitsu said with envy, "I wish I could be like the captain someday!"
Hearing this, the people around chuckled and said, "Wakamitsu, stop dreaming. The captain is a true genius. Don't even think about it."
"Yeah, Wakamitsu, although you and the captain are both from the Uchiha clan, I don't think you can catch up to him." Someone echoed.
Hearing this, Uchiha Wakamitsu's face flushed red. The young man's competitive spirit was ignited, and he retorted with his neck stiffened, "Just you wait! One day, I will surpass the captain and prove it to you all!"
"Hahahaha"
Hearing this, everyone burst into laughter, clearly not believing he could do it.
Seimei didn't know about their discussion. After answering Uchiha Wakamitsu's question, he dispelled his chakra wings and went straight back to his residence.
...
In his room.
Seimei washed up briefly, prepared some food, and after filling his stomach, he started thinking about his next steps.
Now that his flying technique had been successfully developed, all that was left was to grind it. It was time to make plans for the future.
After pondering for a long time, Seimei had a plan.
First, as he had planned before, he would research the Mind Body Transmission Technique to enhance the communication between his main body and shadow clones.
Second, he would prepare for the development of the "Shadow Sword Technique" by researching the "Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique" based on the "Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Finally, and most importantly, he would contact the clan and ask them to send him some books and scrolls related to developing Earth Release chakra.
That's right, he was ready to develop his fourth chakra nature.
The successful development of "Wind Release: Wind Wings" made him feel that his mastery of Wind Release chakra had once again reached a new level.
And it would be difficult to make significant progress in the short term.
So, after careful consideration, he decided to develop his fourth chakra nature.
As for why he chose Earth Release instead of Lightning Release?
The reason was simple: he lacked defense.
Admittedly, his "Constitution" attribute was very high now, and his physical strength far surpassed that of ordinary ninjas. But in the end, he was still flesh and blood. If injured, he would still bleed and could die.
So, to compensate for this weakness, he planned to learn one or two defensive ninjutsu.
And compared to Lightning Release, Earth Release was undoubtedly better at this. The "Earth Release: Earth Spear" used by Kakuzu back then had left a deep impression on him.
Unfortunately, he hadn't developed Earth Release chakra at that time, so he couldn't copy it.
However, he believed that with the thousand-year heritage of the Uchiha clan, finding one or two similar ninjutsu shouldn't be a problem.
Of course, Lightning Release also had defensive ninjutsu like the "Lightning Release Chakra Mode," but most Lightning Release ninjutsu were known for their strong offensive capabilities.
So, it was better not to trouble the Uchiha clan with that.
As for whether the Uchiha clan would agree...
That was a joke. He was currently the Uchiha clan's poster boy. How could they possibly refuse?
With this thought, Seimei took out paper and pen and began to write a letter.
