Chapter 27: Defeating the Flaming Red Lion

On the way back, on a secluded street, Nawaki uses the wind to notice the presence of living beings, when not even with that finding out, he made twenty shadow clones.

Shadow clones are in dark mist mode and enter shadows.

Nawaki returns to the Senju Complex shortly after that.

'I hope the clones get to see some useful jonin-level fights...' Nawaki muttered in his mind as he reached the courtyard: 'I don't have experience and haven't had many opportunities to see jonin-level fights. Although I fight beasts every night, humans fight differently...'

Unlike other times, Nawaki didn't enter the hunting dimension right after eating dinner and heading back to his room. Instead, he began to meditate while consuming the orbs.

Tsunade was more willing to go to his room. Her orb consumption has increased as well.

Some hours later...

Tsunade finished all two hundred orbs that Nawaki gave her.

Her speed of consumption has actually increased a lot.

To her surprise, there were another 100 orbs of faint red light in front of her.

'That boy...' Tsunade shook her head with a smile before going back to consuming the orbs.

Hours later, memories of the shadow clones that had been sent to the battlefield arrived.

Nawaki opened his eyes.

Most memories were of jonin-level fights.

A shadow clone of him even saved some people without being seen.

Dark Mist mode was actually very good at being hidden.

In the memories, he saw several different ways to fight. Some of the shadow clones watched the Hidden Rain ninjas. While others from the Hidden Sand and Hidden Stone.

Of course, there was also a clone watching the Konoha ninja.

Seeing them in battle was a real eye-opener.

Despite having many who didn't even seem to act like ninjas and fought head-on and died as fast as it came. Most fought stealthily. Which in Nawaki's opinion was the right way for a ninja to fight.

Fighting head-on without knowing if the enemy has created a trap is a suicidal action.

With the support of the purple orbs, Nawaki begins to understand the fighting style of ninjas from different villages at a very high and accurate speed.

It took over an hour for him to finish.

'I feel stronger...' Nawaki murmured in his mind.

After that, Nawaki lay down on the bed with the intention of entering the hunting dimension.

Five and a half months later...

After learning the art of wind and fire, Nawaki was able to reach the limit using the crystal orbs.

At this point, it didn't matter how many he used, as he had no more improvement using the orbs.

Nawaki was facing the Flaming Red Lion.

The Flaming Red Lion felt enormous pressure facing Nawaki.

The truth is that if the Flaming Red Lion wasn't running away, Nawaki might as well have killed it a few days ago.

This time, the Flaming Red Lion was cornered. All the lionesses that were along with him were killed by the shadow clones.

"ROAR!"

The roar that a few months ago could have frightened Nawaki, was now even cute.

Honestly, it was like a scared kitten meowing.

With his hands enveloped by dark wind, Nawaki in his dark mist mode attacks.

"Roar!"

Roaring and releasing a fireball from its mouth, Flaming Red Lion tries to resist.

The dark wind sliced

through the fireball as it continued to envelop Nawaki's hands.

Just behind the Flaming Red Lion was the tree Nawaki wanted. It was a huge tree over fifty meters tall.

This was a tree of fire.

When the Flaming Red Lion realized that his attack had failed, his bloodthirsty eyes blinked.

The Flaming Red Lion roared in fury. Vibrant red flames ignited in his body. He slapped it, and a huge claw of flame shot into the whirlpool.

*Bang!*

Terrifying waves of energy appear. Nawaki waved his hand and the waves of flame that seemed very powerful were blown away by the dark wind.

Obviously, Flaming Red Lion didn't expect this.

When Nawaki was close enough, one punch after another landed on the Flaming Red Lion's body and head.

The Flaming Red Lion's wailing roar was evident.

Nawaki didn't just want to defeat the Flaming Red Lion, he wanted to kill and take possession of the fire tree. So learn the deepest law of fire!

He was too strong now to pull this off!

The wind punch bombardment was like sharp blades. The Flaming Red Lion's body was shredded. Bloody cuts appeared all over the Flaming Red Lion's body, it roared and tried to escape Nawaki's grasp, but golden chains appeared and held it in place.

The Flaming Red Lion didn't even notice when strands of red hair appeared on Nawaki's head. All he could feel was his vitality of him draining away as he roared desperately not wanting to die.

When the Flaming Red Lion finally died, it turned to ash.

Nawaki saw this and smiled.

He finally killed this lion.

The ashes were blown away by the wind. After that, orbs of light were left behind.

There were 12 red spheres that emit an even brighter light than the red lions.

There were also 12 brighter purple orbs.

In addition, there was also a red crystal orb of vibrant fire that seemed to be full of life.

Lastly, there was a hazy white sphere that Nawaki had never seen. Perhaps, this was not even considered an orb. It was just a wire of energy. His form kept changing; sometimes it turned into orbs of light and sometimes into threads.

He didn't think much and collected all the light orbs first.

After that, he went to the fire tree. He then began to touch the flame.

This time, Nawaki didn't feel like he was going to be burned alive. Instead, it turned into a red light and entered Nawaki's mental dimension.

After doing all this, Nawaki's eyes darkened. When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his room.

Then excitement gleamed in his eyes.

His current harvest was richer than before.

There was even energy that Nawaki had never seen before!

Thinking about it, Nawaki's eyes lit up. He entered his mental dimension and watched.

At this moment, there was a small flame and a strange thread of energy beyond the orbs.

The flame was waving and burning in space. Nawaki felt he was constantly learning about the fire god's art in his brain.

That power wire just looked distorted. Nothing else was special about it.

Nawaki's eyes gleamed as he sat back down. His mental strength touched the energy and he chose to digest that energy.

As soon as he entered his body, Nawaki's body shuddered. His face changed.

That was very good!

It was as if a soft little hand was massaging every inch of his muscle.

Nawaki closed his eyes in comfort. He could clearly feel his body being filled with life force.

Even his mental strength was getting stronger.

Although it was just a thread of energy, it gave Nawaki the feeling of vast oceans. Washes Nawaki's body incessantly.

Nawaki sensed a fundamental shift in him. This slice of change was extremely profound.

Nawaki didn't think much. His condition was now very good. He was brighter than when he wore faint purple orbs.

Nawaki quickly used the male lion's crystal ball of fire.

The small flame continued emitting fire art runes. The male lion's fire art flowed through his body. The addition of the strange energy thread further improved his perception.

Nawaki felt that his fire art seemed to be accelerating extremely fast.

The next morning, sunlight shone through the window in Nawaki.
