Chapter 117: Six Months

"Kurama, have you had enough rest? If so, let's continue."

After enjoying a relaxing soak in the hot spring, Baishi returned to the training chamber and spoke to the Nine-Tails with a teasing tone.

Hearing this, Kurama's anger flared instantly. It struggled against the restraints, but the sealing space didn't budge.

Seeing its futile resistance, Baishi chuckled. "You're quite energetic. I take it you're ready."

ROAR!

The Nine-Tails let out a furious roar, yelling, "You little brat, just wait! One day, I'll devour you whole!"

Baishi rolled his eyes, cleaning out his ears exaggeratedly. "Hey, can't you come up with a new threat? Every time it's the same. You wanna eat me? Don't you remember Kinkaku and Ginkaku?"

"What Kinkaku and Ginkaku?" Kurama's tone was filled with confusion.

Baishi sighed inwardly. So, you really don't think much of humans, huh?

He decided to remind it. "You know, those two Cloud ninjas you swallowed whole? They survived by eating your flesh. Do you really think I'm weaker than them?"

His meaning was clear: even if Kurama managed to swallow him, he could survive and make it regret it.

As expected, Kurama fell silent. The giant fox seemed to spiral into a self-imposed depression, its massive form slumping as if it were sulking.

Satisfied, Baishi refrained from further provoking it and began his own evolution training.

This time, despite his continued extraction of its chakra, Kurama made no effort to resist. While resistance was futile anyway, the lack of struggle allowed Baishi to focus more on his training.

That afternoon, as planned, he concentrated on improving Spatial Perception, Sensory Enhancement, and Mental Resistance.

Among them, Sensory Enhancement and Mental Resistance were at Level VII, meaning they could progress relatively quickly. However, Spatial Perception, even at just one level higher, advanced at a significantly slower pace.

Fortunately, with an abundant energy source now at his disposal, Baishi no longer had to endure the frustration of slow progress.

---

As the Sun Set, Night Fell.

By the time darkness enveloped the land, Baishi was seated in the training chamber, his palms outstretched. Each hand held a swirling sphere of pure, unaligned chakra.

Clearly, he had paused the evolution of Spatial Perception, Sensory Enhancement, and Mental Resistance, shifting his focus to developing new chakra natures.

Logically, he could accelerate this process by creating multiple shadow clones to train alongside him.

However, Baishi opted against it. While shadow clones could consolidate training experience, their efficiency paled in comparison to his system. And the system didn't allow splitting its focus.

Thus, training solo remained far more effective.

Time ticked by. Midnight arrived before Baishi finally stopped.

Opening his system interface, he glanced at his progress. While the changes were modest, the day's achievements were clearly recorded, providing him with immense motivation.

Most people struggle to persevere not because they can't, but because they fail to see tangible results.

If everyone had a system interface like this, few would give up so easily, Baishi thought with a wry smile.

Shaking his head to dispel further musings, he closed the interface and went to clean up. Exhausted, he collapsed into bed, falling asleep almost immediately.

---

Morning.

The chirping of birds stirred Baishi awake. Sunlight filtered through the window, warming his face and making him squint against the brightness.

"Ahhh~"

Stretching with a yawn, he muttered, "That was a good night's sleep."

After freshening up and eating a few ration pills to fill his stomach, Baishi dove into another day of training.

The routine was as dull and monotonous as ever. Without the system to track his progress, he doubted he could endure such drudgery for long.

And so, the days slipped by.

As the fifteen spies monitoring Moon Island returned to their respective villages, their odd behavior quickly drew attention.

This prompted the villages to send a second wave of operatives to investigate.

Baishi followed the same process, planting mental seeds in the newcomers and sending them back.

The cycle repeated. As more spies were deployed, Baishi turned Moon Island into a complete information black hole for the ninja world.

As the influx of spies increased, their skill levels rose accordingly. When Baishi grew tired of dealing with them, he retreated to the magma cave for uninterrupted training.

Once they left, he would resurface.

This game of cat and mouse added a bit of amusement to his otherwise tedious routine.

Finally, after suffering multiple setbacks, the villages ceased sending operatives to the island itself, opting to monitor its surrounding waters instead.

Baishi paid them little attention.

When his Spatial Perception reached Level IX, his Flying Thunder God Technique's maximum range expanded to 500 kilometers, rendering such surveillance efforts meaningless.

More importantly, the time required to lock onto markers was drastically reduced, enabling faster teleportation.

This effectively increased his ability to evade ambushes and escape unfavorable situations.

Moreover, the past six months had seen substantial improvement in many of his abilities.

"System, display my status," Baishi commanded mentally.

The familiar translucent panel appeared:

---

---

In just half a year, all four base attributes—Strength, Agility, Constitution, and Intelligence—had risen by at least 20 points.

Of these, Intelligence saw the most dramatic growth, increasing by 27 points. Such progress was unprecedented.

The credit largely went to Kurama, whose abundant chakra supply had accelerated Baishi's evolution to incredible speeds.

Not only had his base attributes surged, but nearly all his enhancements had improved by an entire level—a feat that once seemed unattainable.

With Absorption Skin now at Level IX, his ability to process Kurama's chakra had reached new heights.

This promised even faster progress in the future, filling Baishi with boundless anticipation.

Chapter 120: Chapter 118: Ambush

Chapter 118: Ambush

After taking a quick look at his status, Baishi closed the interface. Locking onto the marker inside the training chamber, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, leaving the lava cave.

Time to work on Spatial Perception, Sensory Enhancement, and Mental Resistance.

However, as soon as he appeared in the training chamber, he immediately sensed something was off.

"Someone's here?"

Before he could react, a series of blazing fireballs shot toward him, obliterating the hot spring area, including the training chamber and the surrounding wooden buildings.

Emerging from the roaring flames, Baishi strode out slowly, clad only in shorts and otherwise unscathed. Clearly, he hadn't even had time to put on proper clothes.

Despite the intense heat, his body showed no signs of burns—not even his hair was singed.

This was the effect of his High-Temperature Resistance, now at Level VIII and close to breaking into Level IX. A mere Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Jutsu was no threat to him.

He quickly identified the attacker.

Fixing his gaze on a figure standing on a tree branch in the distance, Baishi's expression turned cold. "Uchiha Obito?"

He hadn't expected that after half a year of silence, Obito would suddenly show up—and attack without hesitation, seemingly eager to kill him.

What grudge could he possibly hold against me?

Then, Baishi remembered: it was he who had exposed Obito's identity.

From Obito's perspective, he had finally outlived Madara's oppressive shadow and was ready to fight for his goals. Yet Baishi's single revelation had dragged him into the spotlight, derailing many of his plans. Worse, it attracted relentless pursuit, including a stubborn adversary he couldn't shake off.

"Obito!"

A voice filled with surprise and excitement broke the tension.

Kakashi appeared on the scene, his gaze locking onto Obito as though afraid he might vanish again.

Panting slightly, Kakashi exclaimed, "So, you really did come here."

Yes, the relentless pursuer was none other than Hatake Kakashi.

Though Kakashi no longer possessed the Sharingan, his skills as a prodigy who graduated at five, became a Chunin at seven, and an elite Jonin by twelve were still formidable. At sixteen, his strength rivaled or even surpassed his alternate self at this age.

Without the drain of a constantly active Sharingan, his combat style was now more dynamic and versatile. Moreover, his younger self had never fully utilized the Sharingan's potential.

However, just like in the original timeline, Minato had assigned Kakashi to the Anbu to help him cope with his grief over losing his teammates.

This one-year stint in the Anbu allowed Kakashi to piece together the clues left by Obito and deduce that his ultimate destination was Moon Island. And so, he had pursued him all the way here.

Upon seeing Kakashi, Obito's eyes flickered with a mix of emotions, but he said nothing. Instead, he kept his focus on Baishi and demanded, "Tell me, how did you learn my identity?"

"Heh."

Baishi chuckled softly, about to reply when his expression suddenly shifted. In an instant, he flashed to a nearby tree, where one of his Flying Thunder God markers was located.

The spot he had just vacated twisted unnaturally as Black Zetsu materialized, transforming from a shadowy plane into a three-dimensional humanoid form.

Baishi couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

Black Zetsu was a schemer capable of deceiving even Uchiha Madara. If not for the recent upgrade to Spatial Perception, Baishi might not have escaped in time.

The enhanced speed at which he could lock onto markers, courtesy of Level IX Spatial Perception, had saved his life. Without it, Black Zetsu's ambush might have gravely injured—or even killed—him.

Realizing the depth of the danger, Baishi quickly assessed the situation.

Obito and Black Zetsu must have planned this ambush meticulously. It's likely why Kakashi was able to track them here—they took too long to prepare.

This place is too dangerous. I need to retreat. A wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall.

But as Baishi contemplated his escape, Obito and Black Zetsu sprang into action.

Before Baishi could react, he felt a surge of mental energy attempting to infiltrate his brain, disrupting the chakra flow in his neural pathways.

"A genjutsu?"

He immediately realized Obito was trying to ensnare him in an illusion.

The culprit was obvious. At Level VIII, Baishi's Mental Resistance rendered him nearly immune to ordinary genjutsu. Only a Mangekyo Sharingan could pose a challenge.

Thankfully, in such a short span, Obito can't deploy a high-level illusion—this is likely just the innate hypnotic ability of the Sharingan.

With this understanding, Baishi quickly dispelled the illusion.

But no sooner had he broken free than a second wave of mental energy assaulted him, far more sinister than before.

This time, it was Black Zetsu.

Unlike normal mental energy, Black Zetsu's was extraordinarily tenacious and brimming with malice. Baishi could feel that this hatred wasn't directed at him personally but at humanity as a whole.

Of course. As Kaguya's split-off consciousness, why would he harbor goodwill toward humans?

But Baishi quickly caught himself.

Why am I dwelling on this?

He realized with alarm that Black Zetsu's energy was subtly altering his thoughts, steering them away from immediate concerns like escaping.

It seemed his Level VIII Mental Resistance was once again proving invaluable. Otherwise, Black Zetsu might have done more than merely distract him—he could've seized control of Baishi's mind.

Even so, the danger wasn't over. Outside his mental struggle, Obito was still a threat.

As if on cue, an overwhelming sense of danger gripped Baishi. Channeling all his strength into resisting Black Zetsu's influence, he managed to regain control just as the space in front of his chest began to distort.

"Kamui?"

Baishi instantly recognized Obito's technique: the Mangekyo ability to warp objects into the Kamui dimension.

He tried to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique, but the spatial distortion slowed his response.

Though the delay was minuscule, Baishi knew it wasn't enough.

In a split-second decision, he twisted his body sharply. A sickening crack echoed as his spine fractured, his entire form contorting unnaturally.

The maneuver, though agonizing, succeeded in minimizing the damage. Instead of a fatal blow, Obito's Kamui severed only Baishi's right arm.

As the distortion faded, Baishi wasted no time. Locking onto the nearest marker, he activated the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Just before disappearing, he cast a cold, piercing glare at Obito.

This near-death experience had taught him a harsh lesson. His complacency in neglecting to scout the area after training had left him vulnerable.

With Obito and Black Zetsu working in tandem, the ambush had nearly cost him his life.

But there wouldn't be a next time.

Baishi vowed to recover fully before taking the fight to Obito, eradicating the threat once and for all.

As for Black Zetsu?

The thousand-year-old schemer might prove harder to track down, but if Baishi ever found him, he wouldn't hesitate to eliminate him too.
