Another six months passed, and his Yang Release was on track as well. Yang Release granted vitality, activated cells, strengthened the body, and provided abilities such as self-healing.
To learn Yang Release, he had even sought guidance from the Terumi Clan's medical ninja. Sakura had practiced healing fish when learning Yang Release, but he had used himself to experience its vitality directly, making small cuts on his arm and then healing them with Yang Release to learn it.
Over those six months, he had inflicted countless wounds of all sizes on his arms, but he had finally learned Yang Release. Next, he could move on to Monster Strength. Monster Strength was a form of Nintaijutsu that concentrated chakra in a single body part before releasing it in an instant to produce tremendous destructive force. Its core lay in precise chakra control and concentration, not brute physical strength.
Monster Strength was closely connected to Medical Ninjutsu. Advanced mastery of Medical Ninjutsu provided a foundation for fine chakra control, and that control gave attacks a distinctive precision. Monster Strength could be concentrated in the fists, feet, fingertips, and other areas, condensing chakra to form shock waves that penetrated an enemy's defenses.
He opened his personal panel to check the changes brought by six months of grinding-
[Life: 42/points] [Bloodline: Lava Release Kekkei Genkai] [Talent: mediocre] [Strength level: Genin] [Chakra attributes: (water (Chunin: 31%) (earth (Genin: 21%) (yang (Genin: 11%)] [Kenjutsu] [Taijutsu] [Kunai throwing] [Medical Ninjutsu] [Space-Time Ninjutsu] [Ninjutsu: (Non-Elemental Ninjutsu) (Water Release Ninjutsu) (Earth Release Ninjutsu)]
There had not been many other changes. His talent had increased by two points, one each in Ninja and Hand Seals, possibly because he had learned Earth Release and Yang Release during this period.
