Light Release: Limit Splitter Jutsu

Yichen's second option is to skip the Kekkei Genkai and directly develop Kekkei Tōta. It's somewhat similar to the first option: develop more Kekkei Tōta.

By using Kekkei Tōta, the connections between various attributes are deepened, preparing for the later fusion of four or five attributes.

The second option, which involves developing Kekkei Tōta, is similar to the current Light Release. It doesn't require complete fusion with the body; it only requires achieving the ability to perform the Kekkei Tōta Ninjutsu.

This process won't be short either, but it's much faster than the first one. By linking all five attributes, it might only require two or three Kekkei Tōta.

However, if this process is followed, the connections between various attributes will be rather superficial, and the road ahead will not be smooth.

Because Yichen's current Bloodline Limit Release: Light Release is not completely integrated with his body, Yichen can Light Release outside his body, but he cannot generate Light Release Chakra inside his body.

Yichen's body is not immune to the damage of Light Release; the Light Release Chakra generated within his body will cause fatal harm to Yichen himself.

If other Kekkei Tōta only reach this level, then when Yichen tries to fuse the five attributes in the future, it will still be extremely difficult, and he may even kill himself.

Yichen's third path is to fully develop Light Release, so that Light Release, the Kekkei Tōta, can reach the same level as the other three Kekkei Genkai, and can truly be integrated into his body.

A complete grasp of Kekkei Tōta would allow Yichen's Life level to be upgraded once again. The foundation is much more solid than the second option, making the road ahead easier.

At that time, whether we directly consider fusing the five attributes or fusing a fourth attribute on the basis of Light Release, the success rate will be much higher than the first two methods.

However, Yichen did not have a clear method for integrating the Light Release Bloodline Elimination into himself.

In order to fight against Konoha, the ancestors of Iwagakure embarked on the path of developing Kekkei Genkai. Yichen didn't know how much they paid for it, but in the end, they developed the key drug that allowed Kekkei Genkai to fuse with the body.

However, the village has not researched how to integrate Kekkei Tōta into itself.

In the original story, Ōnoki, who mastered Dust Release for decades, was never shown touching Dust Release with his own body until the very end. This indicates that Ōnoki was not immune to damage from Dust Release.

The inability to be immune to Dust Release damage means that Dust Release has not been integrated into one's own body.

If Yichen chooses this path, his subsequent cultivation will be extremely difficult, as there are no precedents to follow and no shortcuts to take.

Yichen was somewhat conflicted:

The first method is easy in the early stages, but it takes a long time, and your strength will not improve for a considerable period of time, making it easy to end up with nothing.

The second method is also not difficult in the early stages and takes relatively little time, but the risks are too high in the later stages and the chance of success is smaller.

The third method is very difficult in the early stages, but once successful, it becomes much easier later on. Moreover, from three attributes to four attributes, and then to five attributes, strength and Life level steadily increase.

Although his eyes were fixed on the three disciples cultivating not far away, Yichen's thoughts drifted elsewhere, unable to return for a long time.

This decision is too difficult to make; one wrong step could lead to complete failure.

With his current perspective, Yichen is completely unable to judge which method is better. If the final result is unsatisfactory, then Yichen's journey through time will be meaningless.

Perhaps in future battles between gods, Yichen won't even be able to protect himself, let alone lead Iwagakure to rise to power.

Moreover, the plot has been completely overturned by himself, Yichen seriously doubts whether the two main characters from the original work can still grow normally.

If, due to his own actions, the Sage of Six Paths were to lose the battle between the brothers, Black Zetsu and the Sage of Six Paths, then the Ninja World would be finished, and everything he had painstakingly built would be meaningless.

Just then, a conversation between three disciples not far away reached Yichen's ears.

Sokai that Yichen was distracted, Zaojie muttered a complaint to Chiga, who was also practicing basic physical training, while doing his own basic training.

"Chiga, why doesn't Teacher Yichen teach us some powerful Ninjutsu, but instead makes us do Weighted Training Gear training every day? I haven't felt any progress even after so much Weighted Training Gear training."

"On the way here, Teacher Yichen gave me some pointers on Genjutsu, and my strength improved significantly."

"If only Teacher Yichen taught me Genjutsu directly, my strength would improve rapidly."

Before Chiga could answer, Sasagawa Ayumi spoke up, "Zhongxing, your foundation is more solid than ours. You grew up in the family of three generations and received very reasonable and systematic training from a young age, so you don't feel it as much."

"But my feeling is different. After this period of perseverance, my strength has improved significantly. From power and speed to awareness, there has been an improvement in all aspects."

Sokai was somewhat skeptical and said, "Really? It's that effective?"

Chiga also said, "Ayumi is right, our progress is visible to the naked eye."

"Besides this, there's another benefit to basic training. This is something Senior Tomoko told me when I last came to the Land of Demons."

The two Sokai became interested; Tomoko had a great reputation. She was the first certified master of Yichen, and now she was also a village advisor—a true winner in life.

For Sokai three of them, Tomoko was one of Yichen's first students and had similar experiences. Her words might be helpful to all three of them.

Chiga didn't keep them in suspense and continued, "Senior Tomoko said that in addition to improving our strength, basic training also raises our potential."

"Mastering powerful Ninjutsu can allow us to improve rapidly in a short period of time, but there is a limit to this. It's difficult to break through this limit through practicing powerful Ninjutsu. However, strengthening the foundation offers hope of achieving that."

She said that basic training gradually improves our bodies, constantly strengthening our foundation and preparing us for future leaps forward.

"Almost all of Teacher Yichen's disciples have experienced a leap in their strength. This process has been witnessed by everyone, which has shown everyone Teacher Yichen's discerning eye in choosing disciples and his ability to teach them."

"But what people don't know is that the reason why Teacher Yichen's disciples have been able to make such leaps in strength is because of their solid foundation."

"Moreover, after these disciples have made a great leap in strength, they have basically not yet reached their limit. They often still have spare strength and hope for another leap."

"What gives them such great potential is this very simple basic training."

"So from the Team One of senior student Chiko -Tomoko to our Team Six, all of Teacher Yichen's students have never stopped their basic training."

"Tomoko said that most of Teacher Yichen's students, including herself, are still persisting in their daily basic training."

Sasagawa Ayumi exclaimed, "So basic training is this effective?"

As for Sokai, he was completely confused. He didn't understand Chiga's logic, but he knew that Chiga said that basic training was very important, and that even the Elite Jonin- level senior Tomoko Megumi, was still persisting.

So Sokai stopped complaining and continued the boring and tedious training with his two companions.

Unbeknownst to the three, Yichen overheard their entire conversation, which in turn helped Yichen make a very important decision.

Choose the third option!

While fusing with Light Release is difficult now, it will be of great help in the future. Fully fusing with Light Release can also elevate Life level, making it a truly solid foundational cultivation method.

How could I have gotten so caught up in such a simple principle? That's exactly how I teach my disciples!

If at this point in time, some Sage were to guide me in the same way I guided the three who Sokai, then that immortal would probably also advise me to solidify my foundation and elevate my actual Life level.

Yichen smiled and cast a grateful glance at Chiga, who was concentrating on his cultivation.

Yichen took a deep breath and told himself, "I've made up my mind. I'll ignore the other two methods and focus all my efforts on developing Light Release, so I can integrate it into my body as soon as possible."

Setting aside other thoughts for the moment, Yichen began to carefully consider the direction for developing the Light Release.

First, I need to learn Light Release Ninjutsu. Currently, I only know one Light Release Ninjutsu, which is the World Splitter Jutsu. Even Yichen hasn't fully mastered the Limit Splitter Jutsu of the Kekkei Tōta.

Yichen hasn't even reached Ōnoki's level yet, so it's too naive of him to think about how to surpass everyone.

The Limit Splitter Jutsu and the World Splitter Jutsu are essentially the same. The only difference is that the World Splitter Jutsu is instantaneous, releasing power all at once.

The Limit Splitter Jutsu is continuous; its attack range and direction can still be adjusted after the attack is launched.

There is no clear boundary between the two. As one's mastery of the World Splitter Jutsu increases, one can gradually transition to the Limit Splitter Jutsu.

According to Yichen's understanding, for the World Splitter Jutsu to be upgraded to the Limit Splitter Jutsu, two things must be achieved: first, continuity; second, adjustability.

Sustainability is easy to understand; it means slowly releasing the gathered Light Release Chakra to achieve a continuous attack.

This is a method to transform a powerful Ninjutsu into Ninjutsu with great penetrating power.

Yichen believes that the maximum duration is when all Chakra is consumed. If one can continuously output Light Release until all chakra in the body is exhausted, then this step can be considered completely completed.

The second aspect, adjustability, has higher requirements. The user must be able to control both the attack range of the Kekkei Tōta the direction of the attack.

Yichen hasn't even scratched the surface of either aspect yet. To be precise, since learning Light Release, Yichen hasn't practiced it properly.

"It seems I'll have to find some time to properly learn from Ōnoki about his understanding of Dust Release," Yichen thought to himself.

Yichen's Light Release was taught to him by Ōnoki, but after learning it, Yichen stopped receiving instruction from Ōnoki.

Instead, they set their cultivation goals in other directions.

Therefore, Yichen's progress in using the Light Release is not significant.
