Ice Release Fusion and Not Acting Human

Taiichi's Training Ground.

A spring breeze ripples across the pond.

Taiichi held his breath and adjusted himself to his optimal state.

He stretched out his right hand, and a wisp of wind immediately formed in his palm. But this was not what he wanted. As he continued to output Chakra, the external wisp gradually disappeared, leaving only a pale blue wisp of wind-attribute Chakra in Taiichi's hand.

He nodded in satisfaction. This was something Taiichi couldn't usually do; usually, when attribute Chakra was output to the outside of his body, it would automatically transform into its corresponding attribute form.

The wind attribute manifests as a gentle breeze, a gale, or Wind Blade.

The fire element transforms into raging flames.

The water element manifests as flowing water.

The earth element manifests as land and rocks.

The lightning attribute transforms into lightning.

This allows it to exist in the outside world in the form of elemental Chakra, but only when Taiichi's Chakra Control reaches Lv11 can it be done.

It was precisely because of this ability that Taiichi had the confidence to fuse Chakra to form Kekkei Genkai.

Returning to the point, looking at the wind-style Chakra in his right hand, Taiichi also extended his left hand, and water-style Chakra condensed as well, a ball of light blue Chakra floating on his left hand.

With his hands raised in front of his eyes, looking at the two Chakra clusters, Taiichi concentrated all his energy. Two thin threads slowly extended from the two Chakra clusters, gradually approaching each other and slowly making contact.

At first, the wind and water Chakra threads would immediately break free from Taiichi's control upon the slightest touch, quickly transforming into a gentle breeze and water droplets. Fortunately, these were only wisps of Chakra and did not cause any damage; the scattered water droplets were simply blown by the breeze, making the surroundings even cooler.

Taiichi carefully maintained the stability of his Chakra, allowing the two streams of Chakra to come into contact and probe each other, constantly trying to adjust the balance between them.

Every now and then, a cloud of water mist burst open in front of me, displaying a rainbow of colors under the setting sun.

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. Taiichi's forehead was covered with fine sweat. The intense mental concentration, coupled with his already exhausted body, had pushed Taiichi to his limit.

But Taiichi, completely absorbed in his work, remained oblivious, continuing his grand fusion plan, seemingly driven mad and losing all awareness of the outside world.

Until----

Two loud "bangs" were heard.

Exhausted, Taiichi could no longer maintain the Chakra balls in his hands.

The wind-attribute Chakra transformed into a raging gale, interspersed with sharp wind Wind Blade.

Water-style Chakra transformed into surging water, and a raging vortex swept everything away.

In just a moment, under the double attack, Taiichi was covered in wounds. It wasn't that Taiichi didn't want to use the Fire Transformation Technique to offset the damage; in fact, the Fire Transformation Technique activated on its own the instant he was injured, attempting to repair his body.

However, when the Flame Transformation body was swept away by the Water Style, the intense conflict between water and fire neutralized each other, causing Taiichi's Chakra to be rapidly depleted. Seeing that his Chakra was about to run out, Taiichi hurriedly stopped the operation of the Fire Transformation Technique.

This was also the first time Taiichi realized that the Fire Transformation Technique could be so powerfully countered by a wide-range Water Style.

Lying disheveled on the muddy ground, Taiichi finally had the mind to recall everything that had just happened. It was so dangerous; he hadn't died at the hands of the enemy, but he had almost died in his own experiment.

I must have lost my mind. Knowing I wasn't in good shape, I still tried to fuse with my Kekkei Genkai. I deserve all the injuries I've gotten.

Despite the pain, Taiichi struggled to get up. Every movement aggravated his wounds, causing his muscles to tremble incessantly.

A flash of Kakkou evaporated the moisture from his body, and Taiichi used the Fire Transformation Technique again. This time it was much easier. Flames surged from his wounds, and Taiichi, having calmed down, was completely healed except for his beggar's clothes.

Now, Taiichi dared not be careless anymore. He returned to his room, tore off his clothes, washed himself again, and lay down on the bed. Within a few breaths, soft snoring filled the room, and now it was truly quiet.

However, the exhausted Taiichi failed to realize that although he had just made a reckless attempt, it was not entirely fruitless.

[Cultivating in progress----]

[Combination of Water and Wind attributes, skill's Ice Attribute Nature Transformation Lv0 (1/100)]

The next morning, Taiichi had been sleeping soundly all night, finally woke up groggily and glanced at the clock by the window; it was already 7 a. m.

Looks like he was really exhausted yesterday; even his powerful biological clock couldn't wake him Taiichi.

After washing up, Taiichi piece of bread in his hand, enjoying his breakfast, and only then did he have time to check his haul from yesterday.

His eyes widened, and widened again, until his eyeballs seemed about to pop out of their sockets!

Then came a burst of wild laughter, which startled the birds foraging in the courtyard, who all stopped and looked around to see which idiot was making such a creepy sound.

After a long while, Taiichi finally calmed down. Now that the skill had taken shape, all that was left was to keep trying and practicing; there was no need to rush.

Taiichi continued with his daily routine, practicing Taijutsu, meditation, and swordsmanship every morning.

After completing the entire process, the sun was already high in the sky, and he used Shadow Clone to replace him while he practiced Ninjutsu.

After packing his things, Taiichi headed to Konoha Hospital. He hadn't forgotten that he had a part-time job there and needed to visit his Sister Nonō.

As the border conflict intensifies, Konoha Hospital has deployed more personnel to support the front lines, making the hospital even busier.

After lunch, before Taiichi Nonō could even exchange a few words, the increasing number of patients forced them to start their afternoon work early.

Having just finished treating a patient with a dislocated leg, Taiichi was still engrossed in writing the medical record when another patient plopped down on the stool next to him.

"Ah, Lynn, Kai, look, it's Taiichi!"

A cry of surprise rang out, and everyone around turned their reproachful gazes toward the reckless ghost who had made the sound.

A pair of delicate white hands covered the loud mouth, and she apologized repeatedly to those around her in embarrassment.

Taiichi knew who it was the moment the voice rang out, but he didn't expect him to be so reckless, not even knowing how to restrain himself in a place like a hospital.

After writing the last word, I looked up at my old friend.

Obito's mouth was being tightly covered by Rin, but he showed no displeasure on his face; instead, he had an expression of utter lust.

Kai, who was standing to the side, covered his mouth, clearly having only been beaten to it by Obito.

"What's going on with you guys?" Taiichi looked at the three of them curiously. Obito, who was sitting Obito, was holding his left arm, which looked like he had a broken arm bone.

"Sigh----" Before he could speak, Obito sighed and turned to look at Guy beside him with a resentful expression.

Seeing this, Lin, standing behind him, didn't hold back and explained on his behalf, "Taiichi, it's like this. The two of them agreed to Taijutsu in the Training Ground."

Lin paused, then said in a tone that was both distressed and amused, "Kai's Taijutsu have improved a lot recently, but his power control—" Lin thought for a moment, trying to find the right words to describe it, "is still in the 'exploration stage.' As a result, he didn't control his strength during the sparring session and 'used a little too much force.'"

As she spoke, she glanced at Kai, who was practically steaming from head to toe beside her.

"Ah~ Haha! I'm sorry! Obito, really, I really didn't mean to." Guy's face was flushed, and he kept touching the back of his head. Then, as if he remembered something, he immediately bowed ninety degrees to express his apology.

"I got carried away on a whim, too engrossed! My blood was boiling! Seeing how quickly you dodged, I wanted to test my limits! I didn't expect your bones to be a little... delicate than I thought? Anyway, I'm so sorry!"

This apology was worse than no apology at all. The word "delicate" infuriated Obito, who insisted that he had only let Kai succeed because he was careless for a moment.

The two made up on their own after a brief argument; they were friends to begin with, and injuries during sparring and training are perfectly normal.

Taiichi pulled Obito's arm over, green Chakra light swirling around his palm as he slowly examined the damage. Everyone stopped talking to avoid disturbing Taiichi's examination.

"Luckily, there's no fracture, just a slight crack and dislocation. After reduction and a few days of rest, it should be fine!"

Obito's eyes lit up instantly upon hearing this. "Right, right! I told you it was nothing. Besides, with Taiichi here, he'll heal me in no time." He then looked at Taiichi, his face full of anticipation, and asked, "So, how long will it take to get better? I still have some Ninja Tool Throwing training to do this afternoon!"

Taiichi couldn't help but chuckle, "What are you thinking? It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. Even with my best medical skills, it still takes time to heal." He firmly supported Obito's arm with both hands. "Bear with it, I'll help you reset it."

Before Obito could even voice his opinion, a "click" was heard, and the resetting was complete.

Obito's cry of pain was stuck in his throat, but he ultimately swallowed it back down.

Then, Taiichi's hand shone with the light of the Mystical Palm Technique, enveloping the fractured bone and promoting the proliferation and healing of bone cells.

"Why are you training so hard these days? You're the second Ninja Academy student I've treated today." Taiichi asked casually during a break in the treatment.

"Haha, Taiichi, you don't know, do you? We're graduating soon too! Yamada- sensei has already told us, so we naturally have to train harder and try to get good grades so we can be assigned to a good team!"

Obito was still smugly enjoying himself, but Taiichi paused upon hearing this. Logically, Obito should still have a year before graduating, but now the village had forced them to graduate early.

The war hasn't even started, and you're already sending ungraduated kids to the battlefield? Hiruzen Sarutobi, you deserve to die! The Will of Fire is just a slogan to you now.

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Taiichi continued his treatment, but spoke of the precautions to take after Jonin, summarizing his own experiences over the years.

Rin's eyes lit up with excitement. Obito danced with delight. Kai's blood boiled with passion.

Ten minutes later, the treatment was over. Taiichi quickly immobilized Obito's arm, all the while saying, "With my Mystical Palm Technique and your own physical condition, the bones will be initially stable in two or three days, and you'll be fully recovered in a week."

After saying that, he emphasized, "During this period, absolutely do not do any Taijutsu training. If you want to practice, just practice Ninjutsu."

"Ah, I can't train in Taijutsu!" Obito immediately deflated upon hearing this, but under Rin's gaze, he resignedly muttered, "Alright, alright, thank you, Taiichi."

"And you, Guy, once my hand heals, you have to train with me extra!" Obito said fiercely to Guy, who was still grinning foolishly.

"No problem, I've got it covered!" Kai patted his chest and assured him, his smile still silly but also incredibly sincere.

Taiichi quickly tidied everything up, patted Obito on the shoulder, and said, "Alright, keep it in place and change the dressing on time. Go on, you three, go do what you need to do. I still have a bunch of patients to treat."

"Roger!" the three said in unison. Obito was carefully helped up by Kai, and Rin followed closely behind. The three of them left the clinic in a hurry, leaving Taiichi to watch their backs with a helpless smile and shake his head. Then he immediately composed himself and devoted himself to treating the next patient.

After finishing his day's work at the hospital, Taiichi accompanied Nonō back to Orphanage. They had dinner there and played with the children for a while before Taiichi returned home.

Perhaps due to the start of border conflicts, the number of children in the Orphanage has actually increased. Based on today's observation, a new face has appeared in the orphanage, which means that yet another family has been broken.

The eternal theme of the Hokage world is peace. However, from ancient times to the Warring States Period, and now to the Era of the Five Great Nations, war has been happening all the time. It truly reflects the saying, "The more you lack something, the more you crave it."

But how can peace be achieved? The last time peace came so close was when Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha used their power to overwhelm the entire Ninja World and achieve temporary peace.

But I don't know what they were thinking. Since they have such great strength, why don't they unify the entire Ninja World? Instead, they insist on dividing it into Five Great Nations, and they don't even live long enough to survive.

This meant that the brief peace that the Ninja World had finally achieved, which they had just lost, was plunged back into the quagmire of war.

The scale of the wars grew larger and more frequent afterward. Konoha had only been established for 46 years, yet it was already on the verge of the Third Shinobi World War.

Taiichi looked up at the sky speechlessly. It seemed that peace in the Ninja World could only be achieved by him, the "chosen one".

Back home, Taiichi ignored his previous sighs, disbanded the Shadow Clone that had been training outside, and after digesting his memories, he buried himself back in developing his Kekkei Genkai.

Taiichi created four Shadow Clone retaining only a small amount of Chakra, and had them train on their own nearby.

Meanwhile, Taiyi condensed a very small amount of elemental Chakra and began to attempt to fuse it. Having learned from yesterday's experience, Taiichi preferred to expend a lot of mental energy to control it rather than condense an excessive amount of Chakra, but inadvertently caused the Chakra to go out of control.

The scene was unimaginable; it felt like you could lose your life in an instant.

As time went by, Taiichi was occasionally able to successfully fuse a tiny bit of wind and water attribute Chakra, and each fusion would increase his experience points by a little bit.

This is precisely why Ichiraku; success is within reach, all he lacks is the effort.

Of course, things don't always go smoothly. The fusion of different Chakra natures is a dangerous technical task. Otherwise, why are there so few people in the Ninja World who can fuse Kekkei Genkai on their own?

To take a recent example, even Hiruzen Sarutobi, known as the Professor of Ninjutsu and proficient in all five elemental Ninjutsu, never managed to fuse Ninjutsu himself.

It's not that he's unwilling, it's just that he lacks the ability.

Didn't you see that in such a short time, Taiichi's four Shadow Clones have already exploded one after another due to the fusion of Chakra?

This is still in vitro fusion; if it were actually experimented on directly inside the body, wouldn't they be blown to bits?

And don't even mention that other ninjas can fuse externally first. Only when you reach this level do you realize how difficult it is to release elemental Chakra outside the body without forming a corresponding form.

At least Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't have that level of skill. In the entire Hidden Leaf Konoha, perhaps only Tsunade, who was skilled in Medical Ninjutsu, had that level of Chakra Control.

When his mental energy was depleted to a certain extent, Taiichi stopped the fusion for the day and glanced at the panel.

[Ice Attribute Nature Transformation Lv0 (7/100)]

Not bad, you gained 6 experience points in just one night of training. At this rate, you can complete the fusion of Ice Release in just 17 days.

Taiichi beautifully that his mouth was practically watering.

But this was just wishful thinking. Taiichi wiped away the imaginary drool and collected his thoughts. The reality was far more complicated than that, and the real test wasn't outside the body, but inside!
