Chakra Finally Has a Unit That Isn't Cards!

Inside the Sealing Space, after Naruto figured out how to measure Chakra, he immediately pulled out a set of Redstone Lamps from the system.

So as not to affect the appearance of the area around the villa, he deliberately carried the items over to the empty ground near Kurama.

He had not yet begun renovating the area around Kurama's cage, so it was perfect for building an experimental site.

Holding Redstone Lamps in his right hand, Naruto arranged them on the ground bit by bit into a square formation.

A hundred Redstone Lamps glimmered faintly with red light in the Sealing Space, giving off an eerie sort of beauty.

Kurama was filled with question marks when it saw what the brat was doing.

It had no idea what Naruto was trying to accomplish.

He had clearly been practicing the Clone Technique one moment, so why had he run into the Sealing Space to play with blocks the next??

Could it be...

This brat was slacking off?

Thinking of how Naruto had accidentally fallen asleep while extracting Chakra earlier, Kurama grew a little angry.

"Brat, what are you doing?"

Kurama's tone was slightly stern.

If this brat did not give it an explanation, it felt he needed a lesson.

It had already swallowed its pride to teach him, yet this brat did not appreciate it at all?

"Big Fox, I'm doing something that could change the ninja world."

"Do you remember what I said earlier about measuring Chakra?"

Naruto answered as he inspected the Redstone Lamps.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Kurama did not understand and only thought the child was acting up again.

Measuring Chakra...

Look at Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha—even the Sage of Six Paths had never cared about such trivial nonsense.

Would making something that could measure Chakra make you stronger?

Ridiculous!

"Stop what you're doing and get out there to train!"

Kurama was gradually losing patience.

This brat had not even finished this year's tree-punching training, and he had not completed his clone practice either.

And now he was hiding in here playing??

It felt Naruto had not listened to a word it said.

"Watch closely, Big Fox!"

Naruto raised his hand and pressed it against the Redstone Lamps. Then he closed his eyes and prepared to channel Chakra into them.

One lamp on the ground lit up, then two, then three...

It did not stop until twenty lamps had lit up.

Kurama was even more confused by the red lights glowing on the ground.

Naruto, meanwhile, jumped up in delight.

The amount of Chakra he had just put in was roughly enough to cast the Clone Technique once.

That did not include the Nine-Tails' Chakra.

"Twenty lamps?"

"This should be the amount of Chakra a normal ninja needs to cast the Clone Technique once, right?"

Then came the question...

Just how much Chakra did he have?

If casting the Clone Technique once equaled twenty lamps...

Hiss

Naruto instantly sucked in a sharp breath.

It seemed... he had never calculated how many times he could use the Clone Technique...

Just today, while training this technique, he had used it more than five thousand times.

Judging by the Chakra in his body, he had used less than half of it.

He was even recovering Chakra faster than he could consume it.

For the first time, Naruto gained an extremely intuitive sense of just how much Chakra he possessed.

Tsk... no wonder they called it Chakra-ton!

Then Naruto took out Magic Lamps and Magic Chandeliers, roughly compared their energy ratios with the Redstone Lamps, and finally worked out the energy conversion between them.

20 Redstone Lamps = one Clone Technique

100 Redstone Lamps = 1 Magic Lamp

1,000 Magic Lamps = 1 Magic Chandelier

Using those formulas, Naruto roughly calculated that his current Chakra reserves were between eighty and one hundred Magic Chandeliers.

In other words, without relying on Tailed Beast Chakra, he could cast the Clone Technique up to four hundred thousand times...

And that was without taking his natural Chakra recovery into account.

Even Naruto himself felt that amount of Chakra was absurd.

When he had watched Naruto before, he had never had a concrete understanding of it. He had only known that the Uzumaki Clan possessed a great deal of Chakra.

And the original protagonist had basically never run into a situation where he lacked Chakra.

Only now did he realize just how powerful his Uzumaki Clan physique truly was.

"Good. From now on, I'll use Magic Chandeliers to measure Chakra!"

"Hmm... the unit will be 'Magic,' then."

Naruto looked at the three formations before him, clearly pleased with himself.

He knew he had made history in the ninja world.

After watching for a while, Kurama more or less understood what Naruto was doing.

It was simply utterly dismissive of Naruto's one hundred Magic units of Chakra.

Kurama had roughly tried calculating its own Chakra just now, but its brain was practically overheating and it still could not work it out.

In any case, even the tiny amount of Chakra it leaked out was greater than Naruto's...

"Brat, I don't think any of this has any meaning."

"For example, you can't even calculate my Chakra."

Naruto: ...

Did it hear itself?

It did not even know how much Chakra it had??

Who would be bored enough to calculate its Chakra???

Besides, he had made this thing to help himself practice ninjutsu.

In the future, he could also use it to detect how much Chakra enemies had.

Though Naruto felt that measuring an enemy's Chakra was somewhat useless.

Most of the enemies he encountered in the future probably would not have more Chakra than him...
