Chapter 10: Level 1 and Level 2

Haiyi had never taught his daughter, but he had taught his subordinates, and knew that he should not let his daughter feel proud at this time. Although he was excited in his heart, he still spoke in a nonchalant tone.

He thought for a moment and said, "Well, not bad. I barely have the prerequisites to practice the family secret technique. Let's start practicing the Heart Transformation Technique today."

Ino had a serious expression, her hands on her knees, and she sat straight.

Haiyi raised a finger: "The Heart Transformation Technique is a secret ninjutsu that uses the caster's mental power to seize and occupy the target's body. Once successful, the outcome is immediately determined. This family secret technique has obvious advantages, but it also has disadvantages. First, it requires a special hand seal. Second, once the body is occupied, if the body is damaged, the caster himself will also be damaged. Finally, the attack range of this technique is also very limited."

Worried that his daughter might back out, he quickly took back his words: "Of course, this is because the mind-turning technique is still at a very elementary level. When you reach the stage of mind-disturbing body, these problems will no longer exist."

Haiyi coughed and said, "Let's try the first stage of practicing the mind turning, which is to focus your attention."

It was obvious that he had been preparing for this day for a long time. He unsealed the scroll and took out five cards from it.

What is this?

There were a lot of irregular lines drawn on the card. Ino took a quick glance at it, and just a glance made her feel upset, as if something was about to jump out of her heart.

She knew very well that these were just some irregular lines and there was no such thing as "indescribable things". She looked at Hai Yi, waiting for the next explanation.

"The Ino-Shika-Cho Alliance has been around for more than two hundred years, but the history of the Yamanaka family can be traced back to the Ninja Clan period before the Warring States Period." It can be seen that Haiyi is very proud of his family history.

Is Konoha Village powerful? The village has only a 60-year history. The Senju and Uchiha are awesome, but they are gone now, but Yamanaka is still here! This is the advantage. Only those who survive to the end will have the last laugh.

Ino gave him a strange look, wondering what her cheap father was thinking.

Haiyi laid out the five cards one by one, and Ino immediately noticed the problem. The first card caused her the least annoyance, while the last one caused her the most.

"Without special training, the ninja's mental power is loose and weak. If we want to penetrate the enemy's inner defenses, our mental power must have enough penetration. Look at these five cards in turn. If you can clearly see the graphics and words in the center of the card, you have passed the test."

Haiyi took out a bowl of refreshing ointment and handed it to Ino: "Apply it on your temples, and then remember the formula I told you. Nourish yourself from within, be quiet and empty, the original hidden light, the inner light drives the form. If the upper part is closed, it is called existence, and if the lower part is closed, it is called non-existence. The non-existence is offered to the gods above, and the gods live above."

Ino applied the ointment on her left and right temples. Two seconds later, she felt a great shock in her spirit. Most of the distracting thoughts in her mind disappeared. The formula that Haiyi said was very light and sounded ordinary, but combined with the ointment and her current highly concentrated state of mind, she seemed to have something detached from the material world gathering in her brain in a trance.

She didn't understand the meaning of the formula at all, and Haiyi didn't explain it, but Ino still got something inexplicable from it.

She picked up the first card, and countless intricate yet extremely simple lines converged before her eyes.

At first glance, because of the visual difference, she even felt that the lines on the card were rotating at an irregular speed.

When she had a lot of distracting thoughts, she would feel dizzy looking at this thing. Now she temporarily forgot about blaming others, taking the blame, and breaking other people's windows. Her mind was clear and her eyes were focused on the center of the card. She soon saw the answer.

She said with certainty: "It is the word '悟'."

Hai nodded, motioning for her to continue.

The first four cards looked relatively easy, but the fifth one was particularly difficult. Haiyi was quite nervous. Ino squinted her eyes, wishing she had a pair of Byakugan or Sharingan or something. She stared at the center of the card. The more she wanted to see clearly, the blurrier she saw, and her mental strength was being consumed at an extremely fast rate.

In less than thirty seconds, she felt a dull pain in her temple, which was an outward manifestation of excessive use of mental power.

Haiyi reminded: "Don't stare at one point. When the picture rotates, don't resist. Let it go."

After watching for a full five minutes, Ino kept chanting the formula to keep her heart calm and suppress the boiling feeling in her brain. When the potency of the drug decreased, her mental strength was about to drop to the critical point, and her body was about to pass out, Ino finally completed the task.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he said, "I can see clearly, it is the word 'God'."

Hai laughed loudly. He was very satisfied. His daughter's talent was even higher than he had expected. It took him one and a half months to pass this level back then. Every time he failed, he needed to rest for ten days to recover his lost mental strength. He failed three times. The fourth time he resorted to self-harm, cutting seven or eight wounds on his two arms. He fought desperately and finally passed the level by luck.

Ino looked very exhausted when passing this level, but in fact, the boiling and fatigued states were all the brain's self-protection, and the brain itself had not reached its limit. As an expert in mind control, Haiyi still had this vision.

Ino also breathed a sigh of relief. She almost gave up just now.

I was wrong. I thought the secret technique of the Yamanaka family was still a ninjutsu after all, so I added some points to the ninjutsu. What was the result? This first level had nothing to do with ninjutsu or the eight ninja items. It was more like a test of mental strength and soul strength.

The more I calmed down, the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This mountain family gave her the impression that "you practice martial arts, I practice immortality", and the style of painting was weird. "Take a break for ten minutes, and then we will continue with the second step of practice."

"Okay." Ino's cheeks and neck were covered in sweat. He didn't bother to wipe it off. He sat cross-legged and tried to calm down to restore his mental strength.

According to her guess, the next step would most likely be to use the current opportunity of lack of mental strength to carry out squeeze-type training. This tactic is not new.

Ten minutes later, Haiyi brought Ino a stack of books that was more than one meter high. She was stunned.

What is this for? She flipped through a few pages and found the content of the book difficult to understand, and she didn't even recognize some of the words.

“What is this?”

Haiyi didn't beat around the bush: "Read, read quietly, and concentrate. Don't rest tonight, finish reading these books."

Ino rolled her eyes twice, and she roughly understood that the key at this stage is not the book, but concentration.

After all, she has the thoughts of an adult, not a child, and she has enough self-control.

Ino sat at the desk, picked up the book on top and started reading from the first page.
