• Over the next four years, he intends to raise his major abilities—including the Phoenix Genealogy Chart, Arcane Brush Palace, ninjutsu, genjutsu, swordsmanship, and medical ninjutsu—to high levels.
• He plans to expand the Ning Organization beyond Konoha by:
  • Establishing traveling arts troupes as recruitment fronts.
  • Training talented children in swordsmanship and other arts.
  • Building bookstores, publishing houses, printing factories, and paper mills.
  • Promoting literacy and education through Chinese-language textbooks.
• Ningyuan decides that the ninja world’s widespread illiteracy can help him replace its existing language and writing system with Chinese, potentially connecting or benefiting both worlds in the future.
• After finishing his administrative planning, he begins a new period of cultivation and theoretical research into ninjutsu.
• He defines ninjutsu as Chakra that has been “modulated,” comparing Chakra to electricity: a raw energy source capable of countless applications when controlled properly.
• He catalogs Chakra’s potential uses, including elemental manipulation, space, body enhancement, soul and emotion control, healing, sealing, immortality, information transfer, and even the creation of matter.
• From Chakra’s immense potential, he concludes that immortality and cultivation are fully possible in the Naruto world.
• Ningyuan identifies his central cultivation goal as eternal life, with all other abilities serving that objective.
• He compares ninja Chakra use with cultivation methods and concludes that ninjas fail to achieve immortality primarily because they:
  1. Do not store refined Chakra.
  2. Do not properly absorb and retain Natural Chakra.
