The First Research Topic (Fifth Update)

A powerful bloodline implies an immense amount of chakra, as exemplified by the First Naruto, Naruto Uzumaki, and Sasuke Uchiha.

The first direction was passed over by Gong Yi before he could even take the first step.

He possessed no such bloodline.

What about Tailed Beasts, then?

In Gong Yi's memory, as long as one had a Tailed Beast inside their body and became a Jinchūriki, they never lacked chakra.

Even Gaara, the One-Tail Jinchūriki, was able to frequently use high-level Ninjutsu during the Chunin Exams, even unleashing a large-scale Ninjutsu capable of destroying an entire forest.

The amount of chakra consumed in that battle against Kimimaro was something a regular Jonin could never hold up under!

Gong Yi did not immediately abandon this option.

I am too weak at this stage to capture a Tailed Beast, but that doesn't mean I won't be able to in the future. As for the negative side effects caused by a Tailed Beast going berserk...

Gong Yi was not particularly afraid.

In his view, as long as one's mental energy was high enough and their strength sufficiently formidable, they could absolutely tame a Tailed Beast.

From the One-Tail to the Nine-Tails, the Jinchūriki in the later stages were all capable of taming their beasts.

Of course, the Tailed Beast option was only for the future, perhaps even a very long time away; for now, Gong Yi had to set it aside.

He turned his focus to Sage Mode.

However, after thinking for a while, Gong Yi shook his head.

Throughout the entire Naruto world, there were only three places where one could cultivate Sage Mode.

They were Mount Myōboku, Ryūchi Cave, and Shikkotsu Forest.

And corresponding to these three holy lands were the three types of summoning animals: toads, snakes, and slugs!

In other words, to cultivate Sage Mode, one had to master the Summoning Technique and then sign a summoning contract with one of these three clans.

And that was merely obtaining an admission ticket.

The difficulty of cultivating Sage Mode was notorious.

Even Jiraiya's Sage Mode was a flawed version, requiring two toad sages to absorb chakra for him.

Gong Yi felt helpless and had to abandon this point as well, finally setting his sights on a super-strong body.

"The extraction of chakra is achieved through the combination of physical energy and mental energy. The stronger these two are, the more chakra can be extracted, and the higher the upper limit becomes!"

"In other words, if I train my physical body to be strong enough and my mental energy to be high enough, I will have the opportunity to possess massive amounts of chakra."

This judgment was not something Gong Yi had made recklessly.

He knew very well that such people did indeed exist in the Naruto world.

Take Might Guy, who was in the same generation as him, for example!

Relying on day-after-day, non-stop, arduous training, he possessed a terrifying physical body and could even open all Eight Gates, nearly kicking Six Paths Madara to death during the Fourth Great Ninja War.

Do not think that Might Guy only used Taijutsu; those final kicks of his also contained a massive amount of chakra.

One could imagine just how vast the chakra capacity required to kick Six Paths Madara to death truly was!

If that example was too extreme, then the Akimichi Clan was well worth learning from.

They all loved to eat and were quite fat, but during battle, they could absorb their physical energy to erupt with powerful combat strength.

This was also a manifestation of a super-strong body erupting with chakra.

After all, the examples of Choji Akimichi in the later major battles, where his physique became lean and his strength multiplied, were right there.

After some deliberation, Gong Yi made his decision.

Compared to the Akimichi Clan, he chose the path of Might Guy.

An overly bloated physique was too conspicuous, lacked agility, and without the secret techniques of the Akimichi Clan, how to quickly convert all that fat into chakra was a major problem.

But the path of Might Guy was one he could absolutely walk.

It was just training, after all!

Coincidentally, there was still a system mission hanging there: the unkillable Xiaoqiang!

Gong Yi glanced at the Scholar System; the progress of the current mission had already reached the halfway point.

According to Gong Yi's estimation, it would be completed in about a few more months.

However, this was not Gong Yi's goal.

"Since I have the Recovery Technique at my disposal, I can absolutely increase my training volume, as long as I can endure the hardship!"

Although he had made this decision, Gong Yi still did not feel at ease when it was time to sleep.

With bright eyes staring at the pitch-black ceiling, Gong Yi thought about the future development of this world.

"The Third Great Ninja War should be breaking out soon, and given my age, it is highly likely that I will be involved in this war."

"The cultivation of a super-strong body cannot be completed in a few days. I must increase my strength even more before then!"

"The upper limit of my chakra capacity is what restricts my development."

Unable to sleep, Gong Yi simply sat up.

Since I cannot quickly raise my upper limit, why not try to shorten the amount of chakra required for each Ninjutsu?

The moment Gong Yi proposed this idea, a long-awaited "ding" echoed in his mind!

"First research topic: Reduce the chakra required for the C-rank Ninjutsu Earth Style Wall by half!"

"Reward: Ten Scholar Points! (Scholar Points can be used to redeem Scholar Skill, or upgrade currently owned Scholar Skill)"
