Dissection Experiment
With a flick of his wrist, silvery-white lightning streaked across the air, leaving a beautiful trail, while a crackling sound echoed through the courtyard.
However, the initial enthusiasm comes quickly and goes even faster.
Riding on a tree, I practiced palm strikes in mid-air, releasing all the pent-up energy in my heart.
The Cloud Ninja are not like leeks in a field, which can be harvested at will... The weak Cloud Ninja are not worth picking up after killing them, while the stronger ones are not easy to deal with. The price he paid to kill Araki was not light. In the end, if it weren't for the help of Minato and Otoha, it would be hard to say who would live and who would die!
"Still too weak!"
With a sigh, Katsuki rolled up the scroll and put it away, then formed a hand Hand Seals.
Shadow Clone Technique!
A dozen or so clones spread out in the courtyard, each marking out a specific area, and then began to hone the nature transformation of Lightning Release Chakra. The things recorded in the scroll gave him a lot of insights. For a time, crackling sounds of electricity rose and fell, like a symphony conducted by a clumsy musician.
Fortunately, the neighbors were all ninjas, and because of the war, they were mostly out on field missions.
Otherwise, he would already be disturbing the peace.
"Lightning Release, control the frequency of the electric current..."
"Hmm... the direction of the electric current flow is also very interesting..."
"... Um, the current is increasing, ahhh!!!"
The Shadow Clone were very engrossed in their experiment, and every now and then there would be a loud bang. Excessive or out-of-control electric current would directly cause an explosion, and the clones would instantly turn into wisps of smoke and disappear.
This kind of thing happens quite often!
The Katsuki shivered. The memories of the Shadow Clone would be transmitted back to the main body. Fortunately, this was limited to the memories before the clone was destroyed. The painful experience that caused the clone's demise would not be returned to the main body. Otherwise, this technique would become a form of torture.
He uses clones to hone his Ninjutsu while his main body researches the power of the Hito Hito no Mi.
If it weren't for the various abilities developed from the Hito Hito no Mi, who knows how the rescue of Kushina would have turned out.
This further solidified his determination to develop the Hito Hito no Mi, partly because of Hito Hito no Mi enormous, untapped potential, and partly because it was his only remaining connection to his hazy memories of his past life.
As I grow older in this world, the memories of my past life slowly fade. Sometimes, when I wake up in the morning, I have a dreamlike feeling, as if my past life was just a long dream... There's no panic, just a silent sense of loss...
Hito Hito no Mi.
"What should I do..."
Sitting on the big tree, Katsuki fell into deep thought. Developing Devil Fruit abilities is a very mysterious thing. So far, he has only rudimentarily strengthened some parts of his body to temporarily increase his explosive power, jumping ability and other abilities. Although it is very useful, especially in actual combat.
His battle with Araki was largely due to his various enhancement abilities, but he felt that this was not the true power of the Hito Hito no Mi.
Superficial, everything is so superficial. The power of the Hito Hito no Mi is by no means such a simple and shallow thing. It is a deeper and more mysterious power!
However, they had no idea where to start, and relying solely on that vague intuition was utterly useless!
"Take it one step at a time. Don't be impatient. You can't rush things. Haste makes waste."
The scalpel's snow-white, sharp tip slid gently down the forearm, cutting through the skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle fibers. Beads of blood suddenly appeared, and a thin red line appeared on the left arm. Katsuki remained calm, allowing her Shadow Clone to dissect herself.
This is one of the experimental methods.
After much contemplation, he still felt that the Hito Hito no Mi ultimately had to focus on the word "human," and therefore, it was necessary to understand the human body's structure. With this in mind, he began his journey of self-anatomical dissection...
"Well, it feels perverted even after doing it a few times. How could you come up with such a stupid idea?"
"Huh? You're saying this as if this idea has nothing to do with you."
Enduring the pain in her left arm, Katsuki squinted at the Shadow Clone in front of her.
"That makes sense... Hmm, the healing speed is 0.3 seconds faster than last time. The life-or-death experience really works!" The clone timed the wound on his arm, calculating its healing speed.
"After all, I almost died! My internal organs almost ripped out. Just thinking about it now still makes me feel nauseous. If I hadn't made some progress, I would have been devastated. But... 0.3 seconds, that time is really... should I say it's a big improvement or a small one!"
"It's already pretty good. I just told you not to be impatient, and now you're being so greedy. You're a typical hypocrite!"
······
"Do you really enjoy making sarcastic remarks so much?"
Katsuki stared at her own Shadow Clone, her eyes twitching. "Damn, this is just looking for trouble!"
"Don't move, we're about to continue the incision."
The clone remained calm, wiping the sharp scalpel clean; its snow-white blade gleamed. It gently rested it on the calf, then cleanly and swiftly made a cut...
Summer nights come late; by the time the red sun reluctantly sets on the horizon, it's already past seven o'clock.
"Katsuki, dinner's ready."
Kushina's voice rang out, and with a slight enhancement of one's sense of smell, one could detect the rich fragrance.
"They've arrived."
Throwing away the dumbbells, Katsuki dispelled all her Shadow Clone. A wave of fatigue washed over her like a rising tide, her eyes became sore, her mind was foggy, and she staggered toward the house.
"Take a shower, I'll go take a shower first, a hot shower to relieve fatigue... It smells so good, is it pork cutlet curry? Hmm... Speaking of enhancing the sense of smell, isn't this the same as the Inuzuka Clan's Secret Technique? Haha, the potential of the Hito Hito no Mi is indeed limitless..."
My mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts, but the moment I stepped into the hot water, my mind instantly cleared up, and the comfortable feeling made me want to just fall asleep in the bathtub.
"... You really are capable of doing something like that. If you drowned in your own bathtub, you'd definitely become the dumbest person in Konoha..."
"Sister, I was wrong. Can we let this go...? Besides, it's impossible for him to drown. I'm confident in my abilities..."
Katsuki was both amused and exasperated. He had soaked in the bath for a little too long, and Kushina had dragged him out, thinking he had drowned. She had been nagging him on and on until he had finished his meal.
"Fine, fine, if you don't like it, forget it." Kushina slammed her hand on the table in annoyance, put the spoon on the plate, stood up, and strode away. Her voice echoed down the hallway, "It's your turn to wash the dishes today, don't forget."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Katsuki wiped her mouth, Hand Seals, and Shadow Clone appeared beside her, beginning to clear the table.
"Oh right, let's go out for lunch tomorrow, let's go eat barbecue." Kushina's voice came again.
