Regarding the adjustments to the Bright Virtue Method, Kamiya Keiyun incorporated the process of exploring meridians instead of just molding people.
Meridians are too small; one can control chakra more precisely, allowing it to enter the meridians. Of course, one can also choose to use meridians to expand meridians, rubbing them little by little first, and then once enough rubbing has been done, expand the meridians. This is also a method.
To match the flavor of Qi Cultivation, Kamiya Keiyun renamed the Bright Virtue Method to Bright Virtue Qi Cultivation Technique!
The Pure Tranquil White Lotus Sutra doesn't need to be changed. It's like a passive skill that's always active and working quite well. Kamiya Keiyun can feel his spirit becoming sharper day by day, to the point where he can even sense when the Third Hokage is observing him.
"Oh right, since Shadow Clones can transfer memories, can't some ninjutsu be delegated to them for practice!" Kamiya Keiyun thought again. Things like digging tunnels could also be done by clones!
He immediately created a clone and said, "Try using the [Pipe Technique] in the way you feel most comfortable."
He discovered that the Mud to Stone Technique should be a broad category of ninjutsu, with various techniques like Pipe Technique, Brick Technique, Beaker Technique, Flask Technique, and Test Tube Technique that can be derived from it.
Using the general term [Mud to Stone] would lead to unclear descriptions.
Ninjutsu will need to be categorized in the future, but Kamiya Keiyun currently knows too few ninjutsu to worry about it yet.
"Okay!" Clones are his best helpers because they have the same memories and thoughts as him.
Kamiya Keiyun recalled a scientist in One-Punch Man who cloned himself. When he was alone, his scientific achievements were limited, but after getting clones, he immediately went all out, not only creating artificial humans but even Dragon-level monsters.
The Shadow Clone Technique also has such potential.
It's a pity that Kamiya Keiyun's current chakra reserves are low, so he can only create one clone.
"Can I change my form myself?" the Shadow Clone asked.
"Uh, why would you want to change your form?" Kamiya Keiyun asked.
"Uh, isn't it normal to create alt accounts and change your persona?" the Shadow Clone said matter-of-factly.
"Ah, this..." Kamiya Keiyun was speechless. What he said made so much sense. Indeed, the me on Bilibili, the me on Weibo, the me on Hupu, the me on Zuiyou, the me on Zhihu, they really don't seem like the same person.
"Do as you see fit!" Kamiya Keiyun said.
"Bang!" The Shadow Clone performed the Transformation Technique, turning into a civil engineering graduate wearing blue work clothes and an orange safety helmet.
"From today onwards, you will call me, Kamiya Ishiku!" the Shadow Clone declared.
"Alright, but when you just used the Transformation Technique, did you feel anything special? In terms of chakra?" Kamiya Keiyun asked.
"Uh, it seems the chakra consumed was very little?" Kamiya Ishiku thought for a moment. The Transformation Technique already consumes very little chakra, so the feeling wasn't very obvious.
He then went into the tunnel and used a technique that consumes more chakra: the Rock Pipe Technique!
"Boom!" In just an instant, a 12-meter-long rock pipe was created.
Kamiya Ishiku was stunned for a moment, then excitedly shouted, "Amazing! The chakra consumed for this result is only one-third of the original, but the effect is double! This means that with the same amount of chakra, the Shadow Clone Technique can produce six times the effect!!"
"It's normal. The Shadow Clone's body doesn't have meridians, just like a circuit without resistance, becoming a superconductor. The current can naturally be used 100% by the appliance, and ninjutsu is that appliance!" Kamiya Keiyun said excitedly. "This means that you, with half my chakra, can accomplish three times my daily workload! You can dig 60 meters at a time!"
"As expected, science is the primary productive force!"
Kamiya Ishiku nodded in agreement and then said, "Also, give Hei Bei to me!"
"What do you want him for? His work efficiency isn't as good as yours!" Kamiya Keiyun said.
"He can't dig large pipes, but small ones should be fine. I want him to dig some skylights; it's really too dark down here!!" Kamiya Ishiku said.
"Fine! Go find him yourself. He should be upstairs in class. If possible, teach him to read while you're at it!" Kamiya Keiyun nodded. He originally found Hei Bei to help with digging tunnels, but now that he has Kamiya Ishiku, Hei Bei is no longer needed.
If Kamiya Ishiku wants him, then give him to him!
Meanwhile, Kamiya Keiyun was assessing his chakra reserves.
As he absorbed nutrients, his chakra was slowly recovering. At this rate, it would be fully replenished in about six hours.
Then he could create another Shadow Clone!
At this point, Kamiya Ishiku would have almost depleted his chakra and dissipated, so he could just summon him again to continue working.
This means he can work four times a day, digging 60 meters each time, for a total of 240 meters per day!
Kamiya Keiyun's total planned project volume is 100 + 100 + 400 = 600 meters, which can be completed in just three days!
"Huh?" Kamiya Keiyun suddenly realized that time was becoming very tight!
He hurried upstairs to the training room.
In the training room, Sanyō and Ruri were diligently refining their chakra.
"Ruri, how's your Transformation Technique coming along?" Kamiya Keiyun asked.
"I can transform to 50 centimeters tall!" Ruri replied.
"From now on, you'll follow me. I'll teach you a better Transformation Technique without interruption!" Kamiya Keiyun said.
"Ah!" Ruri sat up excitedly. "Okay, okay!"
The efficiency of Kamiya Keiyun teaching personally was too great, much better than fumbling around on her own!
"Also, the day after tomorrow, during class, I'll bring you to the classroom. Hide in my clothes and don't make a sound. I'll introduce you to all your classmates then," Kamiya Keiyun continued.
"Ah, so, what do you want me to do? Impersonate you?" Ruri finally understood.
"That's right. I need to leave the village for a while, and I don't know when I'll be back. Shadow Clones can't be too far from the main body, so I can only have you take my place in class!" Kamiya Keiyun said.
"Can... can I do that?" Ruri trembled slightly. "What if I'm discovered! I'm just a cat!"
"What are you afraid of? The Ninja Academy just started a few days ago, so the learning progress isn't much at all. I'll teach you for three days, and that's enough to catch up. I don't talk to people much at school anyway, so once you get there, you can just sleep from morning till night! The current lessons are all for first-year students, and there are no combat classes yet, so you don't have to worry about the Transformation Technique at all!"
"This..." Ruri nodded. Thinking about it, it seemed there really wasn't any problem.
"Then it's settled!" Kamiya Keiyun said, pulling out a copy of the Land of Fire Elementary Reader 500 Characters. "We'll start with this book!"
The Transformation Technique has requirements for body size, but they aren't strict.
Naruto can't turn into the Nine-Tails, but he can transform when he's with a toad.
However, a child Naruto can use the Transformation Technique to become an adult woman (Sexy Jutsu).
