In the following days, besides Shuriken Throwing class, Trap Setting class and Wilderness Survival Theory Class also began. According to Jiogan's self-assessment, his grades remained within the top fifteen, not bad enough to stand out, nor too poor to be noticed.
But in reality, Jiogan had been diligently studying and practicing in related fields. In terms of wilderness survival, Jiogan was a Food Nutrition Major in his previous life. When it came to wilderness survival, especially food, he probably knew better than most in the entire ninja world what could be eaten, what couldn't, and what could replenish what.
With planned study and training, Jiogan felt his strength had reached the level of an Elite Genin. In terms of ninjutsu and taijutsu, he had a rich repertoire of techniques, possessed strong spiritual power, and had high Illusion Resistance.
He could now frequently win against Might Duy in sparring matches. This was because Might Duy only knew taijutsu, and their matches weren't life-or-death battles. Jiogan benefited from his diverse offensive methods. If it were a life-or-death battle, ten Jiogans wouldn't be enough.
The combat class in their grade wouldn't start until the third year. However, Jiogan had watched the combat classes of Might Duy's class from afar. The overall level was indeed stronger than in the Anime Timeline, but Jiogan believed he wouldn't be much worse than the top students among them.
My Chakra Amount problem must be solved, otherwise, classmates who are inferior to me now will gradually surpass me in the future! Jiogan clenched his fist, feeling deeply unwilling.
In the world of Naruto, in the end, it's all about Bloodline Supremacy. Do I have to go and transplant Hashirama Cells or pluck out the Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan? Not to mention whether I can be compatible with Hashirama Cells and the Sharingan, the immense risks involved are something I cannot bear.
Only Yamato succeeded in transplanting Hashirama Cells, and it was an accident. Others, even those with Senju Clan bloodlines, did not succeed. To transplant a Sharingan, one would have to defect from the village. Even then, one would have to endure the torment of the Sharingan being unable to close and constantly consuming one's chakra. His Chakra Amount was already a weakness.
The original story didn't mention how Danzo's Hashirama Cells were transplanted. However, judging by his performance in the final battle against Sasuke, he couldn't use Wood Release, and it only served as a vessel to support the Sharingan on his arm. Furthermore, as his chakra was consumed, the Hashirama Cells would also backfire, which couldn't compare to Obito's transplant.
Obito's Hashirama Cells were cultivated by Madara through the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path. Not only could he use Wood Release, but the vitality of the Hashirama Cells could even offset the side effects of the Mangekyo Sharingan on his eyes. Obito, as Madara's avatar, operated in the ninja world for so many years, using his Phasing Ability to perfection, yet his Mangekyo Sharingan was perfectly fine. It's worth noting that Obito's Kamui wasn't an Eternal Mangekyo. In contrast, Kakashi would end up in Konoha Hospital after just one use.
If I want to go down the path of transplanting Hashirama Cells, unless I find Madara himself, it's impossible in Konoha. But that's Madara! This path is not feasible. Jiogan sighed.
Let's think of other ways. As a dignified Blue Star Transmigrator, how can I be limited by this small world? There must be other ways. Jiogan encouraged himself.
Soon, what was thought during the day would manifest in dreams at night. Dreams would eventually come true.
During a combat class for a graduating class in the third year, Jiogan saw a student from the Hyuga Clan in action. He wasn't wearing a headband, so he should be from the Main Family. Watching his fight, although he couldn't compare to the level of Neji Hyuga from the Anime Timeline, he definitely possessed the strength of a Genin.
The Gentle Fist of the Hyuga Clan had shades of Tai Chi and Eight Trigrams Palm. This suddenly gave Jiogan an idea. That's right, why didn't I think of that? Tai Chi, unlike the Eight Inner Gates, Tai Chi emphasizes Internal Energy Cultivation. Tai Chi was a compulsory course in college, and I was at an excellent level. Every time I finished a set, I would break a slight sweat but feel refreshed all over.
I wonder what kind of effect Tai Chi would have in this magical ninja world.
He decided to practice it immediately. That night, Jiogan recalled the essentials of practicing Tai Chi from his previous life and performed his first set of Tai Chi in this life in the ninja world.
After just one set, even though many movements weren't standard, Jiogan felt his Chakra Flow Rate accelerate, with a tendency to gather in his Dantian.
This physical change shocked Jiogan. It actually works! Chakra exists in every cell of the body. Only the Uzumaki Clan's Yin Seal can store chakra. I just performed a set of not-so-familiar movements, and I could clearly feel chakra gathering towards my Dantian. Could it be! Jiogan thought of the possibility of storing chakra without the Yin Seal, and he trembled with excitement!
Calm down! Calm down! I need to verify this again! Jiogan forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, and began the starting posture of Tai Chi.
One set, two sets, three sets...
After performing a total of ten sets of Tai Chi, Jiogan's Tai Chi movement level was already good. As he performed the eleven sets in this life, each one more proficient than the last, his movements became very standard.
Phew, oh my god, I sweated so much, it's comparable to running a lap around Konoha on my hands! Jiogan lay on the ground without any regard for his image, gasping for breath, but the excitement on his face was uncontrollable.
It's true, chakra is really gathering in my Dantian, and even after finishing, there's still a subtle flow of chakra towards my Dantian.
I need to verify one thing: whether the chakra in my Dantian will dissipate tomorrow, and if it doesn't dissipate, how much chakra can my Dantian store? Jiogan's mind was racing.
Jiogan immediately jumped into the bathtub and took a refreshing bath. He lay on the bed and almost fell asleep instantly. This was because after practicing the eleven sets of Tai Chi, his body's Chakra had almost entirely gathered in his Dantian, leaving him extremely fatigued.
The next morning, the first thing Jiogan did upon waking was to use Internal Vision to check his Dantian. 'Haha, no dissipation! No dissipation! It really didn't dissipate!'
Jiogan couldn't help but laugh maniacally. 'Haha, haha, hahahaha, so my cheat isn't anything else, it's me myself, haha.'
'What are you yelling about so early in the morning, you brat! Hurry up and come down for breakfast! You're going to be late!' His Mother's voice came from outside the house, carrying a hint of anger.
'Yes! Mother, I'm coming right away!' Jiogan shrunk his neck and quickly put on his clothes.
For the next half a month, as soon as Jiogan got home from school, he would immediately start practicing Tai Chi. As his training progressed, Jiogan gained a deeper understanding of Tai Chi.
His Dantian's Chakra storage capacity was now ten times that of his original body, and it wouldn't dissipate when not in use. After using Chakra, he could recover it by practicing Tai Chi. His previous weakness, Chakra deficiency, had been resolved and had now become his advantage.
Furthermore, after his Chakra storage capacity was full, practicing Tai Chi would cause a faint, almost imperceptible flow of Qi to widen his Meridians and gather in his Dantian. This was not Chakra, nor did it interfere with Chakra. His Dantian's Chakra storage capacity increased slightly every day.
Since his Chakra had been stored in his Dantian, he hadn't yet used any Water Release Ninjutsu and wondered if there would be any changes.
So, during the weekend holiday, Jiogan went alone to Training Ground 4, preparing to practice Water Release Ninjutsu and simultaneously learn the C-Rank Water Release Ninjutsu: Water Wave.
