The Return 2

Just as there is the Steel Fist Style, there is also the Gentle Fist Style. However, only the Hyuga Clan can unleash the full power of the Gentle Fist. Therefore, like the Steel Fist, Sakumo only has a general understanding of it.

All I know is that this requires a high level of Chakra control; I'm not sure about the others. In comparison, he's more proficient in the fourth type, which is the most common one.

Amplification is achieved through specific Ninjutsu, such as Shiro's Reinforcement Magecraft and Tsunade's Strength Enhancement Technique.

There are many more types in this category, and the requirements are Eight Gates. Most of them are developed by ninjas based on their own circumstances, and the gap between the upper and lower limits is huge.

Currently, the strongest in Konoha is Tsunade's monstrous strength, and slightly next is Shiro's Reinforcement Magecraft. That's right, Shiro's Reinforcement Magecraft ranks second!

This is understandable, since ninjas focus more on Ninjutsu and rarely pay attention to pure Taijutsu. Otherwise, Dai wouldn't have Genin for so many years.

Therefore, there aren't actually that many of these types of Ninjutsu. Some people might say that the First Hokage and his Taijutsu were very strong, but it's important to understand that the First Hokage's strength was due to his bloodline; people are born with great strength.

As for Madara, it's true that some of his power was amplified through Chakra, but that's not Ninjutsu; it's just that Madara had perfected the use of Chakra.

Therefore, Konoha actually has a gap in this area, which is why Shiro's Reinforcement Magecraft ranks second, but the Third Hokage and the others were not surprised.

Because not many people study this thing, it's something that's generally not valued. In their eyes, Tsunade's superhuman strength is mostly due to her inherited bloodline.

Afterwards, Sakumo told Shiro a lot of important points about this, providing him with a lot of data to help Shiro comprehend the Mana Burst. Shiro felt that he should be able to use Mana Burst now.

Now we just have to wait for the Magic Circuits to recover so we can verify if it's working correctly.

Shiro still values Mana Burst quite a bit, since there's always a limit to Reinforcement Magecraft; the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes, and Shiro isn't sure how strong he can get.

Shiro had previously considered learning Mana Burst, but after careful consideration, Shiro decided against it and planned to learn it later when he had more energy.

After all, although the system has a method of cultivating Mana Burst, it is not easy to learn and it is easy to injure oneself. Now is a good time to develop, so Shiro naturally cannot waste it.

However, now that we've had this unexpected windfall and gained some basic knowledge from King's Sword, we should seize the opportunity while the information is still fresh in our minds to quickly learn the fundamentals.

Mana Burst combined with Baji! Terrifyingly powerful!

Of course, this is only useful in the early stages. It becomes useless when the gods are fighting, unless Shiro trains both of them to A-level, then maybe it will come in handy.

After pondering it in his mind for a while, Shiro put it aside for the time being. After all, he couldn't practice right now, and if time wasn't allocated properly, there would never be enough.

Moreover, Sakumo doesn't have much free time like this, so he began to ask Sakumo about the Nature Transformation of Chakra.

Sakumo didn't answer Shiro immediately. Instead, he looked around and said, "You all come closer and listen together. It'll be good for you too."

"Is this appropriate, Lord Sakumo?"

"It's alright, Heiichi. They are the future of the village. Teaching them something is no problem. Or are you worried that I won't teach them well?"

"Lord Sakumo is too kind. We'll have to trouble Sakumo then. Alright, you three, move closer and listen carefully to Lord Sakumo's instructions."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Sakumo."

"Taichi and Shikaki, you should go over there too. Listening to these things will be beneficial."

"Yes, excuse me, Lord Sakumo."

"It's nothing. I should thank you for taking care of Shiro during this time. Alright, sit down. Let's start by talking about what Nature Transformation is."

Although Sakumo chose to start with the most basic parts to take care of Hikari and the other two, he explained it in great detail, Shiro and the others also learned a lot.

However, Shiro stopped listening halfway through because what was being said next was useless to him. This wasn't because Shiro was a quick learner; quite the opposite, the part being discussed was basic, but Shiro hadn't learned it.

To be precise, he watched but didn't practice, because what Sakumo is talking about now is actually a combination of Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation. The embarrassing thing is that Shiro has basically never practiced Shape Transformation.

One reason was that Shiro was waiting for Minato's Rasengan as a shortcut, and the other was that Shiro realized he seemed to be different from everyone else.

Shiro gathers Chakra using Magic Circuits, while others rely on Chakra Pathways. There is a slight difference between the two. Shiro usually uses more crude Ninjutsu, so he didn't notice it.

However, Shape Transformation require precise manipulation, so this problem was immediately exposed.

This shows that Shiro needs to study the Shape Transformation more carefully and spend more effort to master them.

Therefore, after considering it, Shiro decided to postpone his training again, since the deadline for developing Ninjutsu given by Sakumo was still far off.

There's no need to rush. Shiro's real reliance is still on Projection Magecraft and the system. The sooner we complete the construction of the Magecraft Workshop, the better, because it's related to strengthening Shiro's basic attributes.

This is the foundation of everything. Without it, Shiro's achievements will ultimately be limited. At most, he would be a Kakashi without the Sharingan. At that point, let alone the Mangekyo Sharingan, he would probably have difficulty even dealing with the Tailed Beast.

Of course, Shiro's failure to listen to Sakumo's explanation did not mean he could rest. He first reviewed what he had learned and wrote it down for future practice.

After taking notes, Shiro took out the Magecraft Scroll and began to read it. Shiro discovered that the Magecraft Workshop was more difficult than he had imagined, and it was not simply a matter of piling up Barrier Magecraft.

It also involves a lot of Magecraft knowledge, so Shiro urgently needs to learn more about it.

After all, Shiro had high basic requirements for the Magecraft Workshop, requiring them to be able to conceal the Chakra fluctuations of the Tailed Beast, because this time it was different from the last time they absorbed the Ten-Tails Fragment.

First of all, that Ten-Tails Fragment had long since lost its activity, Chakra activity was almost non-existent. It's clear that Shiro didn't notice anything unusual about it even when he was so close, if it weren't for the system's notification.

Secondly, this time it's for Shiro, unlike the system absorbing it itself. Who knows what kind of trouble might arise? If it gets exposed and the Third Hokage and the others misunderstand that Shiro has something to do with Jinchuriki, then we're doomed.

Finally, since we're going to do this, even if we don't aim for the best, we should at least have a decent foundation for future upgrades. After all, it will be useful for researching Magecraft. Putting aside everything else, just if we want to develop the Magecraft that Shiro envisioned, Magecraft Workshop is indispensable.

Yes, Shiro is already thinking about developing his own Magecraft, even though he is still a novice Magecraft who hasn't even finished learning the basics.

But you still have to have dreams. Even if they don't come true, can't you still fantasize about them?
