The Hidden Effects of Wood Release and Shikotsumyaku

In terms of strength, Hinata is now no weaker than Naruto and Sasuke, who have obtained the Six Paths Power, and may even surpass them in terms of core strength.

However, a ninja's battles are not just about physical strength; soft skills such as 'combat experience' are also extremely important.

In addition to the Byakugan, Hinata now possesses the abilities of Wood Release and Shikotsumyaku.

However, as the saying goes, the First Hokage Wood Release to conquer the world, Yamato Wood Release for landscaping. The same Kekkei Genkai manifests differently in different people.

Hinata had also secretly tested the power of Wood Release and Shikotsumyaku. With the support of Senjutsu Chakra, the power of the techniques was naturally very strong, but it was far from reaching the level of the First Hokage, let alone the stronger 'All-Killing Ash Bones'.

Hinata wants to continue to improve her strength, besides accumulating training over time and fusing with the Tailed Beast Chakra, she can only work on these two Kekkei Genkai.

Thanks to the Talent Cheat she received from a wish before her transmigration, Hinata not only perfectly fused Wood Release and Shikotsumyaku, but also greatly enhanced the potential of these two bloodlines with the help of her Talent Cheat.

"From the perspective of 'techniques', Wood Release and Shikotsumyaku are not very helpful to me."

It's not that Hinata looks down on Wood Release, it's just that Wood Release Ninjutsu doesn't help Hinata much.

Take the First Hokage's "Sage Art Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands" for example. Although it beat Madara Uchiha and Nine-Tails to a pulp, it seemed very powerful.

Hinata's Gentle Fist can achieve the same result.

Wood Release's ability to absorb Chakra is impressive, but Hinata's Tenseigan also possesses the ability to absorb Chakra.

The key to a move is quality, not quantity.

In comparison, the Shikotsumyaku) is far inferior to Wood Release. If it weren't for the "All-Killing Ash Bones" technique, Hinata wouldn't even glance at the Shikotsumyaku.

However, despite this, there is a hidden benefit to combining Wood Release and Shikotsumyaku.

The transformed wood-attribute Chakra can enhance the activity of physical cells, while the Shikotsumyaku) can further increase bone hardness.

Simply put, the power of Wood Release and Shikotsumyaku) can enhance a person's physical abilities.

For Taijutsu -type ninjas, physical fitness is the foundation of everything.

The only barrier to mastering Taijutsu- type ninjas is physical fitness.

Even Might Guy, who is said to have almost ended the series with one kick, couldn't defeat Kisame Hoshigaki without using the Eight Inner Gates.

"But... what should we do?"

Hinata recalled the novels she had read in her previous life, as well as some cultivation methods she found online, trying to find inspiration from them.

'Katz! Katz...'

Hinata was almost finished with a bag of potato chips, but she still hadn't found a way to quickly improve her Wood Release and Shikotsumyaku power.

"..."

Wood Release... Does this mean a qualitative change in Wood Chakra?

"Or, to put it another way, if it's Wood Release, I wonder if my body would be able to photosynthesize?"

Without hesitation, Hinata ran to the courtyard, took out a rocking chair, and lay down on it. The warm sunlight shone on her body, making her feel cozy and warm.

"Comfortable..."

I lay there with my eyes half-closed for a while.

"Next is... to convert the Chakra into wood-style Chakra and then distribute it throughout the body..."

When it comes to photosynthesis, it's not just Hinata idea.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants absorb light energy, synthesize energy-rich organic matter from carbon dioxide and water, and release oxygen at the same time.

In contrast, humans breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

The Otsutsuki clan's ability to travel freely in space may be closely related to some power of the God Tree.

Hinata, as a human, breathes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis is the process of converting carbon dioxide into oxygen.

If Wood Release truly possesses the ability to photosynthesize, then when Hinata enters space, at least oxygen can be self-sufficient.

Only...

Hinata didn't feel any reaction related to 'photosynthesis' in her body; instead, her skin felt slightly warm from the sun.

"Does it mean we have to absorb the God Tree itself?"

After thinking about it for a while, Hinata decided to put Wood Release aside for the time being and study Shikotsumyaku first.

The Shikotsumyaku is an ability that allows one to freely manipulate the bones throughout the body for defense or attack.

Anything related to 'bone', such as osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and calcium concentration, can be manipulated without limit, allowing bone to be formed, broken down, or kept hardened.

However, what Hinata really cared about was not the bones themselves, but the bone marrow inside them.

Even though Hinata was a poor student in her previous life, Hinata still knew the importance of bone marrow to humans.

Bone marrow has hematopoietic function, and blood plays an important role in maintaining life.

Blood exchanges substances with tissue fluid through its flow, supplying tissue cells with oxygen and nutrients, and carrying away carbon dioxide and metabolic waste products.

Hinata believes that it is better to use the power of the Shikotsumyaku) to strengthen herself rather than to use it in battle.

"Let's start with the little finger..."

Hinata extended her little finger, gathering Natural Energy to frantically wash over the joints of her little finger, to see if the Natural Energy could strengthen her bones.

Bones are an important part of the human body, and bone marrow is even more important to humans. Hinata is a little winged one!

As for the excess Natural Energy that was gathered, Hinata naturally stored it in the Yin-Yang Seal, preparing to refine it into Nascent Soul (Natural Energy Tailed Beasts?) one day.

"..."

After experimenting for a while, Hinata frowned slightly.

Compared to the unreliable photosynthesis, strengthening bones seems to have some effect, but the strengthening time is too short to see any results yet.

In fact, the Natural Energy within the Yin-Yang Seal will subtly affect Hinata's physique, and Hinata's active gathering of Natural Energy to cleanse her bones has a similar effect to the former.

Hinata scratched her head.

There seems to be some special connection between the various Kekkei Genkai passed down from Kaguya Otsutsuki.

Hinata had a vague premonition that if she could find the connection between these abilities, she might be able to unlock the secret of life's evolution.

Sharingan, Byakugan, Rinnegan, Tenseigan, Wood Release (Life Force), Sage Body, Shikotsumyaku...

These Kekkei Genkai were all separated from Kaguya Otsutsuki, passed down from generation to generation, and their abilities have changed over time.

The physical constitution of the Hyuga Clan is somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

Hyuga Clan ninjas can release Chakra from all the pressure points on their bodies, something ordinary ninjas cannot do.

These Kekkei Genkai that affect the human body are actually different from Kekkei Genkai such as Ice Release and Magnet Release.

"The God Tree..."

Hinata had previously stated that the God Tree was related to the evolution of life, and that Natural Energy was the God Tree's nourishment.

The Three Great Sage Regions rely on vast amounts of Natural Energy to maintain their immortality.

What exactly is the connection between these abilities and energy?

"It's like..."
