Naruto Bloodline Theory? Nothing but trash

As a member of the Branch Family himself, he naturally did not dare to be negligent at this moment.

He immediately expressed his loyalty, saying that he would complete the mission properly and let others know the prestige of the Hyuga Clan!

"Mm..."

Seeing that his warning had been effective, Hyuga Hiashi nodded in satisfaction.

However, he had seen every bit of his younger brother Hizashi Hyuga's reaction as he kept his head lowered in silence.

How could he fail to understand the dissatisfaction and gloom toward the Main Family brewing within him?

Still... the other man was his biological younger brother. As long as he did not do anything out of line, Hiashi would pretend not to see it.

But it was still necessary to give him another warning.

"A person's fate and bloodline are determined from the moment they are born. Everyone has their own place, as well as their own life and death..."

After Hyuga Hiashi's remarks,

Hokuto Hyuga assumed that the clan head was speaking to him, so his attitude became even more humble.

Yet Hizashi Hyuga understood that this was his elder brother's warning to him...

After Konoha began its operations,

the storm-tossed Amegakure also received new orders.

Hanzo stood in the square, staring at his subordinates.

His granddaughter Asuka was among them.

Amegakure could not compare to the Five Great Nations in terms of ninja numbers, so it often employed guerrilla tactics.

They made use of the natural terrain.

Launching sudden ambushes from the water was a commonly used tactic.

This time, after compiling the intelligence from the past few days, Hanzo issued new instructions.

Orders were sent out one after another, and the subordinates departed to begin their operations.

Soon, only his granddaughter and several companions who were also serving as guards remained in the square.

"Lord Hanzo, please rest assured. I will definitely protect the Young Lady."

A young Rain ninja about the same age as Asuka stepped forward and spoke.

His eyes were full of affection as he looked at Asuka.

Her flowing black hair and slender figure.

Good looks were justice.

Along with those black sclera and scarlet pupils, Asuka possessed an indescribable air of mystery and allure.

Her appearance and temperament alone had captured the hearts of many people her age.

Hanzo glanced at the clan crest on his body and nodded slightly. "Ryu, your Swift Release is a very rare and powerful Kekkei Genkai. Make good use of it..."

"Yes!"

The young Rain ninja named Ryu immediately puffed out his chest.

He was not the only one looking forward to protecting Asuka and carrying out missions with her.

In fact, Asuka was also hoping... that she could see that figure with black flames burning in his eyes again.

Asuka: "He said we would meet again if fate allowed it... and he promised he would not join Akatsuki..."

Asuka was eager to make a move.

She hoped to recruit Amakawa Mingren into Amegakure and bring new vitality to the village...

She also wanted to prove something to the other young people of the Land of Rain.

Joining the Akatsuki Organization was not their only choice...

Training, Tempering the Will

At night, rain still fell from the skies over the Land of Rain.

Years of warfare had long turned this small town into a ghost town.

On the rooftop of a dilapidated high-rise,

a figure in the darkness held one hand behind his back and performed one-finger handstand push-ups...

"991... 992... 993..."

In order to adapt to Dark Chakra and the enhancement of strength it brought to his body,

Mingren was performing an extremely dangerous exercise atop a building dozens of meters tall.

This was a world of ninjas.

Yet it had televisions, videotapes, and even scientific equipment such as surveillance cameras.

Tall buildings were not particularly rare either.

In the Original Work,

there were imposing structures all across the Ninja World, and even the street pavilions left behind from the Warring States Period in Tanzaku Town of the Land of Fire possessed considerable height.

Doing push-ups at such a height,

Mingren had already done a thousand, yet he did not look anywhere near exhausted.

Though drenched in sweat, he could still grit his teeth and persist.

"What is the point of doing this?"

Shennong, standing nearby in a raincoat, watched his disciple in the rain.

Dark Chakra was originally a technique that allowed people to gain power out of thin air.

If he instead continued to train so hard, would that not be putting the cart before the horse???

The high-rise stood dozens of meters tall, while the wind and rain howled.

With a single finger braced against the edge, Mingren felt as though he would immediately plunge into an abyss if he merely glanced downward.

"Power gained out of thin air requires an adjustment period..."

Mingren explained.

In the Original Work, even those who possessed Bloodline Theory abilities and gained power out of thin air needed continuous training before they could bring out their full potential.

That was a fact.

And besides...

"Amegakure does not have a Ninja Academy. That is different from the Five Great Nations."

In terms of educational resources,

the Land of Rain was inherently behind the Five Great Nations.

"If your educational resources are inferior to others, then you can only compete through willpower..."

Willpower was not something one simply had because one talked about it.

It had to be tempered. Only through genuine experience could it emerge and be possessed.

"Training atop a high-rise will help me adapt to this power on one hand, and on the other, it will help me overcome my fear..."

Ninjas were creatures that leapt across roofs and scaled walls.

They were also professionals who faced all sorts of extreme environments.

If he wanted to remain calm even when Mount Tai collapsed before him,

then he had to witness a real mountain collapse.

The wind and rain swept in again, making Mingren's body begin to sway.

Mingren felt as though he could fall at any moment.

Still, even if he fell, from this height... he probably would not die outright.

A Strength Value of "8" was equivalent to Zabuza and Asuma in the first part.

He could easily swing the Kubikiribōchō, which was over two meters long.

He could also knock down a whole group of Extra Chunin with a single punch.

At the same time, it gave him a powerful Physical constitution.

A ninja's increased strength brought more than changes in Chakra reserves and the like.

Even their "Blunt Impact Resistance" would soar alongside it.

In the Kakashi Gaiden manga, thirteen-year-old Chunin... Obito Uchiha was crushed into a near-cripple by a boulder over a meter in diameter.

By the time Kakashi was twenty-six, during the manga's first part, elite Jonin Kakashi had forcibly withstood the power behind Zabuza's Kubikiribōchō strikes.

Then, in the manga's Shippuden, Kakashi's base stats had already reached Shadow Level, and his Physical constitution was even more absurd. Kakuzu kicked him flying, sending him crashing through more than a dozen towering trees in succession, yet after taking a single breath, he leapt up as if nothing had happened and dodged Hidan's scythe attack.

Countless pieces of evidence in the manga showed that a ninja's "Blunt Impact Resistance" was directly proportional to their strength.

The stronger they were, the more punishment they could take.

Although he had never attended the Ninja Academy for even a single day and had never taken the Genin graduation exam,

that did not stop him, with a Strength Value of "8," from possessing an absurdly powerful Physical constitution.

A height that would kill an ordinary person from a fall

might only seriously injure him...

Very soon,

Mingren's body began to sway violently.

As his training neared its end, his stamina drained faster.

At this moment, Mingren was drenched in sweat, his body twitching.

The blood in his veins surged madly, and he felt as though his entire body was about to burst apart...

"I can't stop... I have to squeeze out my limit..."

Mingren gritted his teeth and persisted.

Then...

the number before his eyes changed.

[Strength... 8.1!]

Hard work did not betray those with determination.

After several days of extreme training and adapting to this power,

Mingren's Physical constitution had increased again.

But in the next instant,

Mingren's vision suddenly went black as a violent gust swept toward him.

In an instant, the exhausted Mingren fell from dozens of meters in the air...

"..."

Shennong immediately furrowed his brow. He had intended to help, but withdrew his hand.

Because

Dark Chakra combined with the Body Activation Technique created a positive cycle that could repair and strengthen the body.

A few seconds later...

Boom!!

It was like a cannonball had struck the ground.
