Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 20: The Nine Major Acupuncture Points

The Taiyang point (the temple) is an extremely special acupuncture point around the human eye. If an error occurred during the opening process, or if the wrong method was used, it wouldn't be strange for the person to die directly.

But thankfully, I managed to pass this difficult trial of opening the Taiyang point without any danger. Immediately after the Taiyang point, the next one to open was the Tongziliao point. The Tongziliao point is located on the face, in the depression 0.5 cun lateral to the outer corner of the eye.

The "Tongzi" in Tongziliao refers to the black part of the eyeball, the pupil. To open this point, one must circulate chakra to stimulate that black part of the eye. Only in this way can the Tongziliao point be successfully opened.

Before long, the Tongziliao point was also successfully opened by me. Compared to the previous three points, opening this Tongziliao point was much simpler.

It might be because I have already personally opened three points and have accumulated some real experience. In addition, the system also transferred the method for opening the nine major points into my mind, which is why it felt simpler.

Furthermore, the next few points were not particularly difficult to open either.

Take the Yuyao point, for example. This point is located on the forehead, directly above the pupil, in the middle of the eyebrow. Opening this point wasn't particularly difficult either; it was just that the method to open it was a bit troublesome and took some time.

Half an hour later, the Yuyao point was also opened by me. Including the Yuyao point, a total of five points had been opened. But now was not the time to be happy.

Besides these five points, there were still four left. When the remaining four points were opened, that would be the time to be truly happy.

Without further ado, Orion proceeded to open the next point. The name of the next point was Sizhukong. This point was also located on the face, in the depression at the end of the eyebrow.

The difficulty of opening this point was not high either, it was just that the process was about as complex as the previous five points.

Another half an hour passed, and the Sizhukong point was also opened by me. After opening this point, only the last three remained: the Chengqi point, the Qiuhou point, and the final point, Yangbai.

Now it was time to open the Chengqi point. The location of the Chengqi point is directly below the pupil when looking straight ahead, where the eyeball meets the lower edge of the eye socket.

Opening the Chengqi point also required going through countless complex steps. I followed the method in my mind step by step with extreme care. However, I suddenly discovered that the difficulty of opening this point seemed to be a bit higher than the previous ones.

But it was only a little, not enough to stump me. After less than another half an hour, I opened the Chengqi point. At this point, I felt a little tired. After all, I had been staying motionless for a very long time.

But for the sake of the Eye of God ninjutsu, I still had to persevere. After all, the system had hyped this ninjutsu up to the heavens. If I didn't get to see it for myself, I would be very unwilling to give up.

But thankfully, the Chengqi point was also successfully opened by me. Now only the last two points remained, Qiuhou and Yangbai. Now I needed to open the Qiuhou point. The location of the Qiuhou point is at the junction between the outer one-fourth and inner three-fourths of the lower edge of the eye socket.

After knowing the location of this point, I proceeded to open it. I suddenly discovered that the steps to open this point were more numerous than the previous seven, and the difficulty had also increased somewhat.

But I had already opened the previous seven points, so giving up now was impossible. And it was only a little more difficult, not a lot. As long as I gritted my teeth, I could succeed.

More than half an hour later, I successfully opened this point. After this point was opened, I breathed a sigh of relief, because finally, only the very last point remained. The name of that last point was Yangbai.

The Yangbai point is located on the forehead, directly above the pupil and one cun above the eyebrow. But just as I was about to open this point, my expression suddenly turned ugly. It wasn't for any other reason but one.

The method and steps in my mind for opening the Yangbai point were more than twice as difficult as the methods and steps for opening the other eight major points. If I were to really calculate it, I estimate it was more than double the sum of the methods and steps for the previous eight points.

And the difficulty had also increased a lot, almost more than double the difficulty of opening the previous eight points. Faced with such a great challenge, I really found it a bit hard to adapt.

Because ever since Orion was born into this world of Naruto, I can say with certainty that opening this one point was definitely the greatest challenge of my life. To be honest, even I myself lacked a bit of confidence and doubted whether I could succeed.

However, lack of confidence is one thing, and doubting my ability to succeed is another. But giving up is something that I, Namikaze Orion, will absolutely never do.

After all, Orion had already opened eight of the major points around my eyes. I didn't want to give up halfway. Even if I had no confidence, even if I doubted I could succeed, I had to do my best and try with everything I had.

Because if Orion tried and still failed, at least I would have tried. Failing after trying is acceptable. But to give up without even trying, forgive me, but I can't do that. And I'm not that kind of person. Giving up without a fight is not my style.

Just like that, Orion ignored everything else and began the process of opening the final major point. The steps, method, and difficulty of opening this last point far exceeded the previous eight. But since he had the method, since he had the steps, Orion would follow the steps in his mind, one by one, follow the method in his mind, one by one. Orion believed that he would definitely succeed. He believed that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.

Time passed, second by second, minute by minute. Orion's process of opening the final point, Yangbai, was already halfway through. But at this moment, something happened that nearly caused me to fail.

At this time, Orion was halfway through the steps to open this final point. Because this last point consumed too much chakra and mental energy, his face was now frighteningly pale.

Moreover, the chakra in his body was almost completely depleted. Orion roughly estimated that my chakra was not enough to support this entire process. At this moment, he was truly and utterly anxious.

The progress of opening the final point increased more and more. Just as he was about to open this final point, Yangbai, Orion's chakra had been completely exhausted.

"What do I do? Only the last fifth of the Yangbai point is left to be opened, but my chakra ran out at this very moment. What should I do?"

Orion asked himself this in his heart. The feeling of extreme anxiety in my heart... I estimate that only I could feel it at this moment. Other people couldn't feel it at all.
