Uchiha Ling once calculated that her Chakra, from extraction to natural dissipation within the human body, could only last for a few seconds, while outside the body, it would dissipate in about one second.
Chakra dissipated within the body would transform into cellular energy and spiritual energy, and could continue to synthesize Chakra, but outside the body, whether it was Chakra with changed properties or un-attributed Chakra, its disintegration into spiritual energy and cellular energy would not return to the human body.
After being released as Ninjutsu, Lightning Release, Wind Release, and Fire Release dissipated the fastest, Water Release was second, and Earth Release was the slowest.
Chakra can directly transform into corresponding elemental Wind, Fire, Water, Earth, and Lightning, but it can also be injected into these existing elements in nature for borrowing.
Borrowing natural Chakra consumes the least, which is also why the environment greatly influences a Ninja's combat.
Uchiha Ling collected her scattered thoughts, because at this moment, she and many Konoha Ninja had already pursued the Sunagakure Anbu to their rear.
One must be careful of Shuriken, Kunai, and Exploding Tags thrown by the opponent when they flee, and the Ninjutsu that appears from time to time also needs to be carefully guarded against.
Uchiha Ling did not rush too fast; she was not very keen on killing, because of the characteristics of her golden finger, she tended to cripple her opponents.
For example, breaking hands and feet, or causing lifelong disabilities—this could be considered Uchiha Ling's unique mercy.
Better to live a miserable life than die; being crippled is certainly better than continuing to be a Ninja living on the edge of a blade, and the money they saved as Ninja is enough for them to live comfortably for the rest of their lives.
Most importantly, Uchiha Ling could also gain their continuous and stable hatred, wouldn't this source of stable emotion surge rapidly?
It strikes at the enemy's living forces and also drags down their finances, because these crippled Ninja also need pensions.
If they don't give it, one or two might be fine, but as Uchiha Ling cripples more and more people, these disabled Ninja will eventually become dissatisfied with the Village, which is an unstable factor.
Uchiha Ling's method, which achieves three benefits with one action, is unfortunately not something many people would follow; they are already caught in a cycle of vengeance and will absolutely not give up until the opponent is dead.
At this moment, some Konoha Ninja had already caught up with the enemy Village's Anbu Ninja, and Uchiha Ling was naturally in the first echelon; a close-quarters battle was about to erupt.
Uchiha Ling saw a Sunagakure Anbu, whose Chakra was only at the Chunin level, actually dare to form hand signs and counterattack, so she immediately made him her primary target.
Uchiha Ling could see the deep hatred for Konoha Village and a hint of fear in the eyes of this Sunagakure Anbu.
But when he saw a short, petite loli like Uchiha Ling coming towards him, his pupils suddenly dilated, and a strange smile appeared on his distorted face; he had found hope for survival.
As long as he could capture this Ninja Academy Student brat, who appeared in the war for some unknown reason, he might be able to use her as a hostage and escape with his life.
He formed hand signs, preparing to use Swift Release: Downwind to bind this brat; he loved the desperate eyes and hateful gaze of his enemies the most.
Unfortunately, this Sunagakure Anbu did not choose his opponent well; he only felt a strong gust of wind blow past him, stirring up a large amount of sand, and the brat had already disappeared from his sight.
He suddenly felt his hands, which were forming hand signs, become uncontrollable; looking down, he found a perfectly neat blood-red thread on the wrists of both his hands.
Before he could wonder why there was a blood-red thread, he felt a sharp pain, and both of his hands separated from his wrists with a gush of blood.
That was no blood-red thread at all; it was clearly a line of blood, and his two hands were instantly severed, but he had no idea why they had fallen off.
Uchiha Ling's speed was so fast that it exceeded the capture frequency of the Sunagakure Anbu's vision, and this was not even Uchiha Ling's maximum speed, because she had not yet used the Monstrous Strength Body Flicker Technique.
Currently, it was merely Swift Release: Downwind, a Body Flicker Technique modified from Shisui's Swift Release: Current, combined with her physical attributes enhanced by the Jade Hounds' ability.
This Anbu had already lost his threat; Uchiha Ling directly pressed her palm onto his back, and Sealing Technique runes crawled all over the Sunagakure Anbu's body, sealing his Chakra, then she punched him unconscious.
Having successfully created a disabled person, Uchiha Ling not only felt no guilt but instead had a sense of saving a life.
The reason for this feeling was probably that a disabled person would definitely live longer than a Ninja; these were all merits.
If her golden finger was a merit system, she would probably have heard a "ding" sound by now.
And then it would be, "Your merit balance has received one merit," followed by the sound of money falling, which would definitely motivate her.
Unfortunately, at present, it can only be credited if these enemy Village Anbu survive, which is a pity, but even so, it cannot dampen Uchiha Ling's determination to save (cripple) enemy Ninja.
Uchiha Ling's speed was incredibly fast; almost no Chunin-level opponents could react, and most of them ended up crippled, just like the first Anbu.
However, sometimes, due to the angle of attack and the degree of the enemy's resistance, different levels of disability would result.
Some would have their palms sliced off, some would have their arms directly severed, and some would be cut off at the shoulder; the most severe would probably be a broken spine.
In fact, breaking a spine is more mentally taxing than directly turning a person into a blood mist, otherwise, if the strength is not controlled well, the enemy will be killed.
Therefore, Uchiha Ling generally uses Ame no Habakiri to randomly select a lucky part of the enemy to sever, which is clean, neat, and leaves a beautiful, tidy wound.
To deal with these Anbu, Uchiha Ling doesn't even need to use Ninjutsu; merely using Body Flicker Technique combined with Gale Sword Technique is enough to make these people run in fear.
If Uchiha Ling does not use large-scale Ninjutsu, Monstrous Strength, or summon Shikigami, then she is a weakened version of Konoha's White Fang.
However, one specializes in Lightning Release sword techniques and the other in Wind Release sword techniques; facing these assassin-type Ninja, Jonin who are not fast at forming hand signs will simply be cut down in one strike.
If your speed is so fast that you can't react, then you can only become a victim of the blade; even if you can react, Jonin without sufficient means to cope and create distance will also surely die.
Ninjutsu-type Ninja might kill the most people, but assassin-type Ninja are definitely the fastest killers; Jonin need one or two seconds to form the hand signs for their most proficient Ninjutsu.
One or two seconds is enough time for a Ninja like White Fang to get close and swing his sword; at the Jonin stage, if one aspect exceeds the Jonin level, it is enough to far surpass Jonin, this is quasi-Kage level.
And Kage-level powerhouses cannot have obvious weaknesses; their fault tolerance must be high; Uchiha Ling, if she uses the Monstrous Strength technique to enhance her speed and strength, has already surpassed the Jonin stage.
Currently, dealing with these Anbu, who are Chunin-level at most Special Jonin, is merely a difference of one or two strikes; among these Anbu, no one can make Uchiha Ling strike a third time.
In just under two minutes, Uchiha Ling crippled more than twenty Sunagakure Anbu Ninja; if she didn't seal their Chakra, this speed would be even faster.
