Divine Ability [Law of Heaven and Earth]

Akimichi Denji did not rush; he took a sip of hot tea, observing the two people before him, each harboring their own hidden thoughts.

He had said that on purpose.

Whether it was Hinata's Gentle Fist or her chakra, he wanted to possess both.

"I also want to train with Denji-kun." The first to speak was Hyuga Hinata, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.

But both of them heard her clearly.

Hyuga Hiashi looked at Hyuga Hinata in surprise; this was the first time he had heard his daughter voice her own desires.

Realizing that a misunderstanding might arise, Hyuga Hinata added, "I want to become stronger."

"As a member of the main branch, I must become stronger, possess great power, and uphold the honor of the main branch."

Seeming to have found her justification, she nodded as if trying to convince herself: "Yes, that is it."

Hyuga Hiashi paused, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

Since Hinata had such an ambition, he naturally would not stand in her way.

"Then, could I trouble Denji-kun to guide Hinata as well? I have heard that Denji-kun's taijutsu is quite impressive. If Hinata could train alongside you, it would surely be of great help."

"As for the compensation, I will provide it in the future."

Success! Hinata cheered inwardly.

Although it was a bit of a lie, and the reason she gave wasn't her true motivation, it was still a part of her feelings, nonetheless.

The result was good.

Akimichi Denji pondered; helping Hinata was something he wanted to do as well.

On one hand, he could gain exposure to the Gentle Fist, and on the other, he could take the opportunity to absorb her chakra.

There was a reason Hinata was pressured by Hyuga Hiashi and struggled to show her strength.

Her talent was not lacking; it was just that during her growth, she only had two opponents.

One was Hyuga Neji, a genius of the branch house. He was a monster who could teach himself the Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms just by watching from the sidelines.

The other was Hyuga Hiashi, the head of the Hyuga clan. His strength ranked among the best in all of Konoha. That was why Hyuga Hiashi was never satisfied with her.

Under this constant pressure, Hinata developed a timid personality. The more pressure she felt, the worse she performed, and the worse she performed, the more pressure she felt—a vicious cycle.

"Ding! Completed Hyuga Hinata's wish [Will there be a place for me by your side?], Wish Point +1."

"Ding! Completed Hyuga Hiashi's wish [Hoping for his daughter to become a phoenix], Wish Point +1."

Harvesting two Wish Points at once, Akimichi Denji nodded with satisfaction.

The two chatted for a while longer before Hyuga Hiashi took his leave, citing family matters.

Akimichi Denji could tell that Hyuga Hiashi felt there was nothing to discuss with a child like him since Akimichi Choza was not present.

He did not mind it much.

Returning to his room, he looked at the panel; his Wish Points were at an unprecedented high.

With 4 Wish Points remaining, it was enough for him to raise his Senju Style Taijutsu to the realm of Transcendence.

However, he did not spend them yet. Taijutsu only required steady, grinding effort to improve; relying on his sparring sessions with Tsunade, he would eventually reach a higher level.

He could always add points after mastering it.

It was better to prioritize points on ninjutsu where he lacked natural talent.

His gaze shifted to the Multi-Size Technique.

Strength of a Hundred and the Multi-Size Technique complemented each other, so he had to prioritize maxing out the Multi-Size Technique.

[Ninjutsu: Multi-Size Technique (Proficient) -> (Master)]

[Effect: Can freely control the magnification precision (precision limit is 1x), maximum magnification 10x.]

Akimichi Denji digested the memories and exhaled a long breath, feeling a surge of excitement as he looked at the Master-level effects.

In the past, the Multi-Size Technique could not be controlled freely; if muscles were magnified to an excessive degree, it would lead to severe damage.

The highest realm of the Multi-Size Technique—Butterfly Mode—was exactly like this.

On the surface, it was merely converting all body fat into chakra butterfly wings, but in reality, the power magnified by this process far exceeded the structural limits of the body.

This resulted in the Akimichi clan needing to rest every time they used the Butterfly Mode.

If the problem of the body's tolerance limit could be solved, the Butterfly Mode would no longer have the drawback of requiring recovery.

Yet, this was a paradox: magnification was based on the body's peak strength, so it would inevitably break the limit.

Now, the Multi-Size Technique could control precision freely. If such high power wasn't needed, one could use the minimum magnification precision to only double the strength, which would reduce energy consumption and lower the damage to the body.

Akimichi Denji continued to focus his gaze on the Multi-Size Technique.

[Ninjutsu: Multi-Size Technique (Master) -> (Grandmaster)]

[Effect: 1. Can freely control the magnification precision (precision limit is 0.5x), maximum magnification 20x.

2. Awaken Butterfly Mode: Consume energy to significantly increase strength and chakra, and generate chakra butterfly wings.]

The addition of Butterfly Mode was easy enough to understand.

In the original work, the Akimichi Clan needed to burn through all their body fat, but he did not need to expend all his energy; he only required a fixed amount of energy to activate Butterfly Mode.

Akimichi Denji made a rough estimate: it would cost about 50 energy points.

It felt a bit like a loss.

The power brought by Butterfly Mode was temporary, but the energy points he invested were permanent.

It seemed Butterfly Mode should only be used in life-or-death situations.

Akimichi Denji made up his mind not to use it often, then focused his thoughts on the Multi-Size Technique to continue adding points.

[Ninjutsu: Multi-Size Technique (Grandmaster) -> (Transcendental)]

[Effects: 1. Can freely control the precision of size multiplication (precision limit of 0.1x), with a maximum multiplication of 50x.

2. Awakens Butterfly Mode: Consumes energy to significantly increase strength and chakra, generating chakra butterfly wings.

3. Awakens Divine Ability [Law of Heaven and Earth]: Consumes a massive amount of energy to transform into a giant.]

Regarding the first effect, both the precision and the magnitude of the multiplication had been improved.

He should be able to learn how to use Gear Third like Luffy now.

And he wouldn't shrink afterward, either.

The second effect, Butterfly Mode, hadn't changed much.

But upon seeing the description of the final effect, Akimichi Denji's pupils suddenly constricted, and his breathing even stalled for a beat.

This excited him far more than the Butterfly Mode from just a moment ago.

Law of Heaven and Earth, the transcendental effect of the Multi-Size Technique. The scene depicted by those few words exploded in his mind like a thunderclap.

The term originated from Eastern mythology, referring to immortals and gods mimicking the laws of heaven and earth to transform into giant forms that stood between the sky and the earth.

There were similar abilities in the world of Naruto; one was the Kurama avatar, where Naruto, upon perfectly fusing with the Nine-Tails' chakra, transformed into a Demon Fox burning with crimson-gold flames.

The other was the ultimate ocular technique of the Sharingan—Susanoo. It allowed the user to summon a giant armored construct forged from extreme Yin-style chakra to envelop them.

Now, he possessed a similar ability as well...

But he was immediately doused with a bucket of cold water.

The description for Butterfly Mode only mentioned consuming energy, while the description for [Law of Heaven and Earth] added the word "massive."

If Butterfly Mode cost 50, the energy for Law of Heaven and Earth might well exceed 1,000.

With his current energy points, he couldn't even cast it once.

It was even more useless than Butterfly Mode.

Akimichi Denji shook his head, though he didn't feel discouraged.

Relying on his own accumulation, he would eventually be able to manifest [Law of Heaven and Earth].

However, upon seeing the Taotie Technique on the panel, Akimichi Denji was momentarily stunned.

The Taotie Technique could absorb any energy, while Law of Heaven and Earth could consume energy to transform.

If he could absorb natural energy...

Would that count as an Akimichi Clan Sage Mode?

Akimichi Denji's breathing grew rapid; if it were truly possible...
