Settlement

During his recovery, Yichen tried to talk to the little girl again, but she still wouldn't speak no matter what, which made Yichen wonder if she was mute or deaf.

However, the little girl refused to leave Yichen's side no matter what. Kitsuchi and Purple Lightning both wanted to take the little girl away to rest, but the little girl just held onto Yichen's clothes and refused to let go.

This made Yichen think that the little girl must have suffered a psychological blow, and was somewhat withdrawn and dependent on him. She shouldn't be mute or deaf.

Fortunately, the little girl wasn't averse to everyone; she was willing to accept Tomoko's kindness. Although she still didn't want to stray too far from her, she was at least willing to participate in some daily activities under Tomoko's guidance.

Perhaps it's because they are close in age.

Yichen's overdraft was temporary, and he recovered in just a few days with the help of Medical Ninja.

But after recovering, Yichen felt conflicted because the little girl was too dependent on him, which made him uneasy about leaving her alone in the village. However, keeping her with him was clearly inappropriate, and he couldn't leave the camp to be with her for an extended period.

Finally, Tomoko, the only person besides Yichen who had the little girl's trust, came up with a solution: she and Yichen would go back together to see if the little girl would agree to live in Tomoko's house.

Tomoko's family are all commoners and don't need to go to the front lines. She also has a younger sister Chikotake who is still studying at the Ninja Academy, so she can keep the little girl company.

Moreover, girls of this age can also attend Ninja Academy, where they can make many friends.

Yichen thought this method was worth a try, so he used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to take the two of them back to the village as quickly as possible.

Yichen first went to see Ōnoki and told him about the little girl, focusing on her strange talent.

As the Tsuchikage, Ōnoki naturally understood the importance of this strange talent.

After meeting the little girl, they quickly agreed to Yichen's request to adopt her.

However, there was one thing that didn't go as Yichen expected: the little girl was willing to spend time with Tomoko's family, but insisted on sleeping in Yichen's little house at night.

For this, the little girl spoke for the first time.

Although the request was rather strange, it was ultimately a good thing that the little girl was willing to stay in the village.

Yichen arranged for the little girl to live in his small house, and then entrusted Tomoko's younger sister, Chikotake, to pick up and drop off the little girl at school every day.

However, no matter how hard he tried, Yichen couldn't get the little girl's name.

When it came time to register his name, Yichen had to come up with one himself.

It's summer now. When I met the little girl, I experienced Tsukuyomi again, so the little girl's name was Natsuki (Natsuki).

After settling Natsuki in, Yichen finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned to the East Front Camp with Tomoko. However, this time Yichen did not plan to go to the Land of Hot Water immediately.

This period is not a good time for me to go out; I'd better stay put.

The three disciples have been on a lot of missions lately, and Kitsuchi is deliberately training them.

Especially for Tomoko, although the young girl has Wind Release: Breakthrough in willpower, she has not yet gotten used to being a strong person in terms of mentality.

Kitsuchi used this method to gradually make Tomoko realize that she was no longer an ordinary person.

Yichen would also challenge Kitsuchi and Purple Lightning from time to time, partly to adapt to the Banshō Ten'in, an S-rank Ninjutsu that needed a lot of practice on how to use in actual combat.

Secondly, Yichen's progress in the Genjutsu Space needs to be consolidated, especially since the number of Hand Seals has been reduced, which also requires Yichen to spend time adapting to.

Aside from the cutting and slashing, Yichen's Lightning Release training went much more smoothly, and he felt that he was already able to learn C-rank Lightning Release.

The first Lightning Release Yichen learned was the Lightning Conduction, Combination Ninjutsu he had previously arranged for everyone in the camp to learn.

Although the learning process was slow, Yichen managed to succeed after a few days.

However, it requires 31 Hand Seals and consumes 8 Chakra.

If Yichen were Genin now, knowing this ninjutsu would be no different from not knowing it at all; it would be completely useless in actual combat.

But Yichen was still very happy, because he had now learned the fourth attribute (not counting the Yin Release).

What surprised Yichen the most was the Chakra Fusion; the progress in the Genjutsu Space was much greater than he had imagined.

The speed at which Yichen is fused has increased significantly, now far exceeding the rate at which it is consumed.

Basically, if Yichen used all his Chakra to fuse, he would have been able to fuse about 100C of Yichen Porcelain Release Chakra.

Therefore, Yichen entered the second stage of formal training, developing the Porcelain Release ninjutsu.

This process may seem complicated, but it is actually quite easy, because the purpose of developing Porcelain Release ninjutsu is not to fight enemies, but to deepen one's understanding through using Porcelain Release.

Therefore, even if Yichen creates a completely useless ninjutsu, he will still have achieved his goal.

At this point, it can be said that the development of bloodline limit has been completed. After all, the Porcelain Release ninjutsu has been used.

But after that, there's one last and most important step: changing oneself using Porcelain Release Chakra.

That's not urgent. Yichen needs to find a suitable Porcelain Release first.

The main purpose of developing Porcelain Release was to increase the body's adaptability to Porcelain Release, in preparation for integrating Porcelain Release Chakra into oneself later.

But having a new way to deal with the enemy is also a good idea.

After pondering for a while, Yichen devised a Porcelain Release that could be combined with Sealing Jutsu.

First, a rabbit was prepared, and Yichen tied the rabbit with a rope.

Then he slowly began to fuse the Porcelain Release Chakra. After consuming about one-tenth of his total Chakra, Yichen finally fused enough Porcelain Release Chakra.

Then Yichen controlled the Porcelain Release Chakra, transforming it into something resembling mud. Under Yichen's control, the mud slowly spread onto the rabbit's body.

Ignoring the rabbit's struggles, the mud eventually completely enveloped it.

Finally, the mud, under the control of the Yichen, turned into hard rock.

Thus, the poor rabbit used in the experiment was completely trapped inside a ceramic object.

Of course, Yichen's current Porcelain Release is still a long way from actual combat.

The speed at which the Porcelain Release Chakra was fused was outrageously slow, and the power of the Porcelain Release was far from sufficient to counter Yichen's current enemies.

The only advantage of Porcelain Release is its malleability; it is difficult to break apart during an attack.

However, Yichen remained calm. The secret text clearly stated that it was normal for someone at this stage of their Kekkei Genkai not to be able to fight.

The purpose of this step is to lay the groundwork for later integrating Porcelain Release into the body.

Once the final step is completed and the essence of life is elevated, all the limitations on using Porcelain Release will disappear.

Therefore, Yichen was quite satisfied with his results. Next, he used the fused Porcelain Release Chakra to nourish his body and subtly make changes.

On one hand, they deepened their understanding by using the Porcelain Release technique.

There are two directions: the former from the outside to the inside, and the latter from the inside to the outside.

With persistent practice, completing the evolution of life is only a matter of time.

However, the reason why Iwagakure was able to pass on bloodline development as a secret technique was naturally not limited to this slow and painstaking method.

The village has developed a Secret Medicine to aid in the development of Kekkei Genkai. Once a ninja completes the final step of bloodline development, the Secret Medicine can greatly shorten this gradual process.

Given Yichen's current status in the village, it wouldn't be easy for him to find out the recipe, but exchanging for a prepared Secret Medicine wouldn't be too difficult.

Not wanting to wait any longer, Yichen flew back to the village and explained the situation to Ōnoki.

Ōnoki knew that Yichen had been practicing Chakra Fusion, since Yichen had reported the matter of exchanging for A-rank Secret Scroll to him.

However, Ōnoki hadn't expected that Yichen would reach the final step so quickly.

In Ōnoki's memory, Yichen's talent did not lie in his Chakra perception.

Yichen's talent has always been Chakra Control.

However, upon closer examination, the reason becomes clear: Yichen independently developed A-rank Ninjutsu in the Water Release and mastered S-rank Ninjutsu in the Earth Release. In terms of both, he is among the top in the entire history of Iwa ninja.

So Ōnoki accepted the reality, wrote a report on the receipt of supplies for Yichen, and then sent Yichen away.

Yichen stopped by to check on Natsuki and found that she, as a transfer student, got along quite well with her classmates, so he didn't disturb her. After collecting the medicinal herbs, he returned to the East Front Camp.

Upon returning to the camp, Yichen went straight to the Logistics Department and personally began decocting the medicinal herbs.

"It feels so good to have the village's support!" A few days later, Yichen stood in the Training Ground and couldn't help but sigh.

Previously, the foundation of Iwagakure had always hindered the development of Yifa, most notably the waste of Yin Release talents.

But this time, the only word to describe Iwagakure's performance was "amazing".

In just a few days, Yichen had already felt a gradual transformation in his body.

This transformation is mainly reflected in the gradual improvement of physical condition, the gradual increase in Chakra reserves, and the increasingly faster Chakra fusion speed.

Although these increases were not very obvious, Yichen always had a strange feeling that he was becoming stronger and stronger, and from time to time he had a feeling that everything was under his control.

I guess this is how Uchiha Sasuke felt every time he made progress in the original story. "Heaven is the greatest, and I am Second."

Fortunately, as a transmigrator, Yichen knew about the scenes of gods fighting in the Fourth Shinobi War, so although he felt like he was deceiving himself, Yichen still maintained a sense of rationality.

These days, Yichen has stopped developing his Lightning Release and is focusing all his efforts on practicing Chakra Fusion. This is because Yichen has discovered that the more proficient he is in mastering Porcelain Release Chakra, the faster his transformation will be.

A few days later, Yichen began to experience a tingling and itchy sensation all over his body. His intuition told him that this sensation originated from every cell in his body and was a manifestation of changes at the Genetic Level.

The tingling and itching sensation grew stronger and stronger, lasting for more than ten days. In the last few days, this sensation completely overwhelmed Yichen's senses, covering up all other sensations.

During this time, Yichen didn't get a good night's sleep. When he was awake, he came up with a way to combat the tingling and itching sensation.

By maximizing the use of Sensory Ninjutsu, one can shift their attention from themselves to the furthest point their senses can reach, thereby blurring their perception of themselves.

After more than ten days, I slowly started to feel pain in my body.

At first, Yichen was very excited because as the pain intensified, it gradually suppressed the tingling and itching sensation.

At that time, in Yichen's eyes, what in this world, besides itching, was unbearable?

Then Yichen understood that there was still pain. After a few days, the pain completely overwhelmed the numbness and itching. This time it was even more uncomfortable, and Yichen didn't even have the energy to use his Sensory Ninjutsu.

In the end, Purple Lightning came up with a solution: he had Yichen cast Genjutsu on one of the prisoners captured by the Anbu, diverting Yichen's attention to analyzing the intelligence carried by the prisoner.

By occasionally diverting his attention like this, Yichen barely managed to get through the ten-odd days, after which the pain quickly subsided.

Yichen has finally been reborn.
