Chapter 160 - Funeral. (2/2)
The next day Zu Ling woke up early, I could tell she was having very little difficult moving with the seals, but she was able to adjust relatively fast. I had barely adopted this little girl for a day and I am already proud of her. Is this how a parent feels?
We have eaten breakfast and went to the memorial I built yesterday. zu Ling even cried a bit, but I could feel it was a cry fo relief, see all the people she knows got a proper burial, I am just concerned because she hasn't talked much, and I know for a fact that she isn't mute, I can easily cure physical problems with my Yang Release after all. She must've been really affected by this...
I proposed we played ball for a bit, I took one of those huge but light balls we use on the beach and we start playing, running around and tossing the ball at each other, me and Alessa were fairly happy seeing that the little girl smiled a bit during our games. Good to see she is warming up to us...
Soon it was lunchtime, The little girl has eaten a lot again. I even pated her head while using my [Sun Mark] to heal any kind of damage to her body, she basically melted on my hand that way... It was kinda cute, to be honest.
After lunchtime I decided we should play some board games, we played monopoly, chess, and even a more tame version of D&D, I want my daughter to be cultured after all. Sadly as intelligent as she is, she is barely a year old, so the max she could do was to point to the magic listed in the paper and admire me telling what happened and what her character had done.
Soon it was dinner time, we ate, and she was extremely sleepy again. She is literally sleeping like a log, already looking like her father... I am so proud.
And after putting Zu Ling to sleep I talked to Allessa a bit...
”You're a tailor right?”(Aizen).
”Yup. I picked a lot of professions and tailoring was one of them. After all we elves have a lot of time so it's common to have a wider skillset...”(Allessa).
”Could you maybe make some clothes for Zu Ling, I am good at making armor, not clothes...”(Aizen).
”Sure I was already thinking of doing it”(Allessa).
”Now I will 'borrow' some skills from the Tang family”(Aizen).
”Ok, be sure to return by sunrise.”(Allessa).

To find the right village took me more time than I would like to admit, thankfully with my speed running around the globe is a fairly easy task, principally when I have Swift Release, I am almost certain I can beat TVFlash in speed, but the one from comics I sincerely doubt it.
Entering the village was as easy as breathing, I am a former Anbu stealth was literally my job. Entering the Tang family House is equally easy. Besides being a Sage and having a very good Anbu training, my energy is something totally different than Tang Hao was expecting, he would be probably in guard if Soul Power was used, chakra from a sage... not some much.
The first that I went to use the Yamanaka jutsu was Tang Hao, just looking at his drunken sleeping form made me lose a lot of respect for his character. I know you lost the love of your life, heck I would be probably just as sad if I had lost Allessa, but instead, fo wasting yourself away drinking, why didn't he try to become stronger to enact his vengeance, why not use all these negative sentiments to fuel a newfound sentiment to justice, heck maybe he could try being a father for Tang San if the brat was a normal kid I have no doubts he would grow messed up. Thankfully Tang Hao lucked out a lot with Tang San.
Pushing my thoughts away from the drunk father I use the Yamanaka jutsu on him, the need to touch long gone, now I just need fairly good proximity with my hand and the victim's head and I can safely use the jutsu.
Normally trying to extract memories is a very dangerous battle of will and wits, which would be the case between me and Tang Hao, sadly form him I have a higher tier of both soul and spirit thanks to becoming an Arhat and a Bodhisattva, thus making the process as smooth as breathing. I am relatively happy with the multitude of training regimens for Soul Masters, The forging, and blacksmithing techniques... I have to admit, this guy was really a prodigy with a hammer. It only made his drunken self more ugly to see.
Now Tang San, I expect him o be more difficult than Tang Hao. Because even if tang San doesn't have any cultivation whatsoever the [Purple Demon Eyes] besides an eye technique are a mental one, so his mental defenses should be way more refined than Tang Hao.
And was right and wrong at the same time. Tang San does indeed have more refined defenses than tang Hao, but he is still weak being the same age as my daughter and all, Or I am just Op as hell? both it is probably both.
And Tang San was a frigging well of skills and info, This guy has better throwing techniques than the ones I had in Narutoverse, and this is saying something. And this guy was really a genius. the principal technique I wanted from him was...
His knowledge of both throwing weapons and martial techniques, something very useful. His knowledge of pills, herbs, and poisons, something I don't need much due to my connection with nature but it's sure nice to have it.
The [Purple Demon Eyes]
Which is divided into 4 stages.
Survey
Detailed
Mustard Seed
Boundless
In the Survey realm, it was able to substantially improve vision power and clearly grasp detail.
The Detailed realm improved the user vision even further and granted a mental state where everything slowed down, allowing the user to react in the shortest possible time. It is also able to see Soul Masters' amount of soul power given that the soul power of soul masters is lower than the user's.
The Mustard Seed enabled Tang San to survey the surroundings, including noticing very minute details such as the wings of a fly, and even the fact that Xiao Wu was a Spirit Beast. It allows Tang San to shock or confuse an enemy who is in a vulnerable state. It also allows Tang San to breakthrough illusions. This realm also allows the user to attack the mental state of the opponent.
Upon fusing with his second spirit bone, the Wisdom Skull, his Purple Demon Eye advanced directly to the limits of the mustard seed-stage and allowed him to condense his spirit force and create an attack capable of destroying a boulder, which he named God Eye.
While nearing the end of the 3rd Seagod trial, Tang San in a moment of inspiration unlocked the Boundless realm level, breaking the Wisdom Skull Bone, and became able to see everything on Sea God Island. The Boundless realm rather than enhancing eyesight, unlocks the Mind's eye instead, and combined with the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud version of the Wisdom Skull Bone, becomes able to survey not just a whole island but the surrounding ocean as well.
It would be a good addition seeing as I don't have any kind of improvement to my eyes, and I like to make every part of my body into a lethal weapon, and I mean EVERY PART.
Then there is the [Mysterious Jade Hands].
Mysterious Jade Hand causes the palm and the hand to become extremely tough and tensile. Moreover, it can obstruct any poison. This is a good technique that will probably help me improve my [Armament Haki] even more.
A footwork technique called [Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track Steps].
This is a movement and balance technique that allows Tang San to move with extreme speed and traverse difficult terrains as well as dodge attacks fast enough to leave behind after images.
This is something that was extremely lacking in my arsenal, I may have very good footwork and technique, but I don't have any kind fo technique specialized in it, this will make me faster and more nimble and agile, it will surely improve my speed of movement even more.
[Controlling Crane Catching Dragon].
It is a method of improving coordination and strength. It is also an extraordinarily potent grappling technique that has diabolical muscle splitting bone displacing techniques. This technique, when combined with soul power, can also manipulate objects at a distance.
This will help a lot too, seeing as I have just normal grappling techniques, and the bonus of using your energy to affect things at a distance is surely welcome...
[Hidden Weapon Hundred Separation]
Is the official name of Tang San throwing techniques, definitely something I am looking for, as a ninja and an Anbu I definitely appreciate it.
And finally the [Mysterious Heaven Skill]
It is a method for training internal qi. This allows the user to resist extreme pressure, poison and helps with recovering injuries. It also helps on purifying your energy, making it denser and purer, besides being literally the base for all the other techniques, which I am unable to use right now. Thankfully I already have some experience modifying techniques so I think I can change it to suit chakra.
But what do I want a cultivation technique for? I am not a cultivator, right? Well technically no I am not. But my method of expanding chakra is simple direct and works exceptionally well, so I thought of modifying and changing the Tang San cultivation method and fuse with the one I made, my idea is to pick the principles I use on my first one of constantly expanding and smoothing the surface of my channels and fuse with the other benefits of Tang San technique. So I will try to change the part of his technique that helps open the 8 extraordinary meridians and use it to open my 361 tenketsu, well they are already open but I want to open them extraordinarily. I am sure it will make me stronger.
Leaving the Tang Residence I went to the church of the village, the other important thing I want to take care of, the awakening ceremony formation. And after almost an hour inspecting the place I was able to take every info I could about this formation, now I and Allessa just need to translate it to our type of energy.
