Sasuke understood the arguments presented in the book; after all, Fire Style ninjutsu is essentially a method of release that involves infusing "non-elemental" chakra into "fire" elemental chakra. Learning a sufficient number of Fire Style techniques and practicing them frequently is, in itself, a process of strengthening and refining nature transformation.
Beyond nature transformation, some advanced Fire Style techniques also involve shape transformation. Techniques like Great Dragon Fire, Dragon Flame Song Dance, and Phoenix Flame Dance all take a simple fireball and alter or compress its shape, turning it into lifelike dragons or phoenixes to concentrate or expand the attack range and power of the technique.
Is there really only the method recorded in the book?
If he were to practice nature transformation directly like Naruto, his progress would be very slow given his current conditions.
And if he followed the methods in the book, it wouldn't be a good idea for him right now either.
For him at present, practicing the release of two or three Fire Style techniques a day is his limit; after all, to ensure his strength improves as quickly as possible, he leaves most of his chakra for his Shadow Clone to use for study.
Hmm...
The characteristic of Fire Style is temperature, or more accurately, high heat.
Since the knowledge of this world could not solve Sasuke's current dilemma for the time being, he turned his thoughts to the knowledge he had learned in his past life.
From a physics perspective, temperature is a manifestation of the intensity of the thermal motion of an object's molecules.
The faster the molecules move, the higher the temperature, and the hotter the object; the slower the molecules move, the lower the temperature, and the colder the object.
In common parlance, friction generates heat!
Thinking of this, Sasuke revealed an expression of sudden realization, as if he had understood something.
"If my hypothesis is correct, then..."
He acted as soon as he thought of it. Sasuke gathered a ball of chakra in his palm again. He did not know the essence of chakra, nor did he know if there were molecules or atoms inside such a thing.
But that did not stop him from doing something similar by imitating the theory of molecular thermal motion.
It was still a ball of chakra in his hand, but under the shroud of that chakra, he remotely controlled countless tiny bits of chakra to collide and move continuously in a relatively slow manner, thereby imitating the frictional motion between molecules.
As soon as he placed his hand over it, within a short time, he could see the kettle steaming with visible water mist, and the water inside the kettle began to boil continuously.
"Hahahaha, it really is so!"
"The ancients did not deceive me; science is power!"
Seeing this, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a bit happy.
But the joy lasted only for a few breaths. Sasuke quickly calmed down and continued to think.
First, under normal atmospheric pressure, the boiling point of water is one hundred degrees. This temperature is barely satisfactory against ordinary people, but it is far from enough against ninjas. It is basically impossible to defeat an enemy using only the fire elemental chakra in his hand.
He could compensate for this in the future by increasing the speed of the tiny chakra particles within his chakra; he might not be unable to reach the level of Wind Style: Rasenshuriken in the future.
However, this would involve training in chakra control.
Second, this is an advantage. In the future, when releasing fire elemental chakra from his mouth, he could incorporate the principle of intermolecular motion to make techniques like the Great Fireball Technique release with higher temperatures and faster speeds!
However, he must also be mindful of the degree, so as not to cause the speed of the chakra within his mouth to become too fast, leading to instability and burning his oral cavity.
He had solved one problem, but two more had appeared, yet Sasuke did not mind at all.
The more intelligent a person is, the more problems they will discover, the more they will know their own shortcomings, and the more humble they will be.
Only a frog at the bottom of a well would think that the opening of the well is the entire sky.
Sasuke quietly closed his eyes. As long as he could identify the problem and confirm that the path was correct, then everything else was not a problem.
Following his usual routine, he summarized the day's gains on paper, went over them in his mind, and then destroyed them.
The night was already deep. By this time, Sasuke had finished his day's training and entered his room, but he did not rest immediately. Instead, he lay prone on a mat on the tatami, bending his elbows with his palms on the floor beside his waist, legs straight, and the tops of his feet pressing against the floor. He inhaled, straightened his elbows, and lifted his body off the ground, palms supporting his weight, tops of his feet pressing down. He exhaled, lifting his head to look toward the ceiling.
At the same time, he exhaled whenever his body bent forward and took a deep breath when contracting his body; it looked like a very strange movement.
Yoga!
The movements Sasuke was doing now naturally came from the yoga of his past life.
In his past life, he was a fitness enthusiast. In terms of fitness, like most of his male peers, he chose to lift weights, while his girlfriend chose yoga.
He had never practiced any yoga in his past life, but through the long years of living together, he had been influenced by what he saw and heard.
He was no stranger to yoga as a fitness exercise, and he kept the key points and standards of those movements firmly in his heart.
Two months ago, after deciding on his training plan, he began to study yoga seriously, making sure to perform an hour of yoga practice every night before going to sleep.
Yoga is a fitness exercise that can improve physical flexibility, promote blood circulation, and expel toxins from the body. Practicing yoga also provides a massage-like effect. For him, who was undergoing training that was almost devilish every day, it could be considered a very good way to relax.
In addition to the physical benefits, yoga can also soothe the mind and spirit, achieving the effect of focusing the mind and entering a state of meditative stillness.
The meditation practice that Sasuke had previously set as a method for increasing spiritual energy referred to yoga and Yoga Meditation Technique.
In ancient times, yoga belonged to one of the six schools of philosophy. Its practice is divided into seven levels: Muladhara, Svadhishthana, Manipura, Anahata, Vishuddha, Ajna, and Sahasrara. Reaching the highest level is the state of "Brahman-Atman Unity."
Legend has it that before the Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment, he was a master of yoga asceticism, and later, the Zen meditation of Buddhism incorporated many elements of yoga meditation.
The yoga Sasuke learned was naturally not the yoga of ancient religion, but a type of fitness and mind-calming exercise found in yoga studios everywhere on the streets today.
The concept of chakra in Naruto comes from the energy centers in yoga, referring to the energy centers distributed throughout the human body, especially those arranged along the central axis of the body from the tailbone to the top of the head—the Three Channels and Seven Chakras!
He did not know if there was any special relationship between the yoga of his past life and the chakra of this world, but after two months of practice, Sasuke could clearly feel that his spirit was getting better and better, and the speed at which he refined and circulated chakra had also improved.
Since it could increase his strength and relax his body and mind, killing two birds with one stone, Sasuke had persisted with it.
