The Prestige of the Supreme Power of Rules

Rip—

The crisp sound of tearing paper, accompanied by the crackling pop of sparks, rang out together on the balcony.

Gojo Yoru, wearing a gray bathrobe, sat on a stool, tearing pages from his diary one by one and tossing the written sheets into the small furnace before him.

Watching the content—composed entirely of pinyin and Cantonese, a game guide revised again and again over the past six years—turn to ashes before his eyes, Gojo Yoru felt as if he were watching his past self burn away as well, and couldn't help but sigh.

The more confident he was now, the more powerless he had once been.

Just as Namikaze Minato had been Gojo Yoru's inner demon all these years.

This game guide also symbolized Gojo Yoru's dark side.

No one except Gojo Yoru knew what insane plans and world truths that overturned the common understanding of the ninja world lay within this diary.

If those plans were realized, this ninja world would give birth to a terrifying and pitiful stitched-together monster.

But now, that tragic future would not come to pass. All that remained was a cheat-filled, smooth-sailing life.

After burning the entire game guide, Gojo Yoru stood up and gazed at the winter moon, as if locking eyes with Kaguya Otsutsuki sealed within it.

"Haah..."

Suddenly, Gojo Yoru took a deep breath, then exhaled the stagnant energy of all these years as a white mist-like arrow of breath, slowly streaming from his mouth.

In that moment, even Gojo Yoru could clearly feel that some change had occurred within his body.

It was an elevation of spirit, energy, and mind!

What this elevation brought was not only a shift in mental state but also an increase in both physical energy and mental energy.

From now on, Gojo Yoru officially bid farewell to the past, would integrate into this world, and begin a brand-new life named "Gojo Yoru."

Putting out the furnace, Gojo Yoru did not immediately return to rest. Instead, he went back to the basement covered in incantations.

After organizing and storing the remaining diary entries, he continued his daily Space-Time training.

"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"

His hands formed seals with lightning speed—not only practiced but so fast they left afterimages.

Each precise hand sign seemed to flash back to images of Gojo Yoru training day after day since childhood.

Pop, pop...

As Gojo Yoru's soft shout fell, two sounds like bursting balloons exploded in the basement.

Two puffs of white smoke materialized on either side of Gojo Yoru.

When the smoke cleared, two Shadow Clones appeared.

But these two Shadow Clones were somewhat unusual.

Normal Shadow Clones are not only solid but also possess independent consciousness and can act freely.

Aside from being fragile and having unequal chakra reserves, Shadow Clones are almost indistinguishable from the original.

This is also the biggest difference between Shadow Clones and Phantom Clones.

Phantom Clones, after all, are merely illusions for misdirection, lacking the "spirit" that a solid body possesses.

But now, the condition of these two Shadow Clones was the opposite of Phantom Clones.

The faces of these two Shadow Clones had vacant eyes and dull expressions, like a pair of puppets.

Most critically, their bodies flickered and distorted from time to time, like a glitching monitor.

Clearly, these two Shadow Clones were "malfunctioning."

"Which aspect is the problem here?"

Gojo Yoru examined the two failed Shadow Clones, thinking to himself: "Ordinary chakra has already fused with Space-Time Chakra, and this new chakra successfully created a solid body—so why don't the Shadow Clones have independent consciousness?"

"Could it be that the domineering nature of Space-Time Chakra remains, and without the original's control, it immediately breaks the balance? If so, then the Shadow Clones should automatically dispel, right?"

"Or does this Space-Time Power extracted from within have a [unique] property, usable only by the original, not even by clones, causing them to crash?"

Gojo Yoru couldn't figure it out and could only sigh helplessly: "As expected of a supreme-level power. Even with this level of chakra control, I can only grasp a fraction of it."

After failing again to create a Shadow Clone with Space-Time Chakra, Gojo Yoru practiced the Phantom Body Flicker Technique in the cramped basement.

Having received the Nature Transformation scroll gifted by Orochimaru in March, over the past half year, Gojo Yoru had gained a certain understanding of Yang Release. Not only had he mastered basic Medical Ninjutsu, but he had also successfully fused ordinary chakra with Space-Time Chakra, enabling him to use the Clone Technique from the Three Body Techniques.

This was a great breakthrough!

Successfully using the Clone Technique meant that Gojo Yoru's efforts were on the right track. Space-Time Chakra could be used to perform ninjutsu—it was just extremely difficult.

Even with the chakra control required to master the Rasengan, he could only touch a fraction of it.

However, Space-Time Power itself is a supreme Power of Rules. Even many of the Kekkei Mōra of pure-blood Otsutsuki only scratch the surface.

Having only completed his first Evolution, with a Space-Time Chakra capacity at the level of a mere Genin, Gojo Yoru had already achieved something remarkable.

Even if it was only scratching the surface, Gojo Yoru had developed his own unique Phantom Body Flicker Technique.

The Phantom Body Flicker Technique could split into multiple Phantom Clones that coordinated attacks with the original, and these Phantom Clones would not disappear even when struck.

This is the signature technique that earned Uchiha Shisui the title "Body Flicker Shisui" in the original work!

However, Uchiha Shisui's Phantom Body Flicker Technique primarily relies on the Sharingan's genjutsu, with the powerful Body Flicker as a supplement.

Without formidable seal-less genjutsu and Body Flicker talent, one cannot train in Uchiha Shisui's Phantom Body Flicker Technique.

Even Uchiha Itachi, whose genjutsu is equally powerful, could never learn this move.

As for Gojo Yoru's Phantom Body Flicker Technique, it is mainly based on Space-Time Chakra, with the Body Flicker as a supplement.

Phantom Clones imbued with Space-Time Chakra possess the effect of not dispersing upon being struck, and in coordination with the main body's silent Body Flicker, they can swap positions with the main body without a trace.

Moreover, Gojo Yoru discovered a very important fact.

That is... Space-Time Chakra is difficult to sense!

When drawn out of the body with a Chakra Blade, Space-Time Chakra can be seen.

When attempted to be injected into a Rasengan, the black Space-Time Chakra is also visible.

But when fused with ordinary chakra, or when residing inside Gojo Yoru's body, ordinary Sensing Techniques simply cannot detect the presence of Space-Time Chakra.

Gojo Yoru confirmed this himself using a Shadow Clone.

Without a doubt, this is the shielding of a higher dimension, the prestige of the supreme Power of Rules.

However, based on the understanding of people in the ninja world, before Gojo Yoru actively exposed his Space-Time Ninjutsu, they could not have imagined that the black chakra inside Gojo Yoru actually contained Space-Time Power.

When that moment arrives, Gojo Yoru's Space-Time Bloodline will surely overturn everyone's understanding in the ninja world.
