Rinto has been sitting facing the seal drawings on the table for almost two hours.
The Eight Trigrams Seal structure diagram given by Jiraiya was spread out in the middle, with seven or eight scrapped drafts stacked next to it. The charcoal pen in his hand was lightly tapping on the paper, but it still didn't fall down. The core framework of the auxiliary configuration for Naruto was finalized three days ago, but he always felt that one node was not stable enough - it was necessary to anchor Nine-Tails's Chakra cannot limit the growth of Naruto's own Chakra, and must be compatible with Natural Energy of Senjutsu. The three systems are squeezed into the same sealing framework, and the fault tolerance rate must be maximized. Otherwise, if you are not careful, the original Eight Trigrams Seal will be disrupted.
"The nodes here are still too dense, which will interfere with the logic of the seal left by Fourth." He frowned, ran his fingertips across the page, crossed out the previously drawn anchor points, and readjusted their positions, "Use floating nodes instead of fixed anchor points, and automatically adapt to the flow of his Chakra, so that they will not conflict with the original seal."
The pen tip quickly scratched across the paper, and the new configuration was formed bit by bit, which fit perfectly with the structure of Eight Trigrams Seal. It did not destroy the stability of the original seal, but also played a role in assisting stability. It could even act as a layer of buffering protection when Naruto Chakra lost control.
By the time he finished drawing the final configuration and checked the parameters three times, the sun outside the window had already climbed above his head. When Sakura came in with his lunch, he saw him folding the drawings and putting them into a special scroll.
"Sir, you haven't moved anywhere all morning, right?" Sakura put the thermos bucket on the table and smiled helplessly, "You were drawing this when I went out in the morning. It's noon now. Eat quickly, otherwise it will get cold."
"Well, I just finished drawing." Rinto put the scroll away, picked up the chopsticks, and asked casually, "How is the feedback from the hospital about the patch?"
"Excellent!" Sakura's eyes lit up and she sat next to him and served him soup. "The basic model I gave out before is very useful whether it's a ninja on a mission or a civilian in the village who is injured. Lady Tsunade has already asked the logistics Mass production has been completed. Sunagakure and Iwagakure have sent people to buy configuration authorizations. Lady Tsunade said that the money has been deposited in a special account for you and will send you the account book later."
Rinto said "Oh", not interested in money, and just nodded. "Just give them the configuration, don't let their people bother me."
"I know, Lady Tsunade has blocked it for you." Sakura said with a smile, "Ninja Academy's teacher came to me several times and said that he would like to invite you to the Ninja Academy to give a class to the children, which will teach the most basic Chakra configuration logic. The children all admire you, Tenten chanted."
Rinto's brows instantly furrowed and he refused directly. "I won't go. It's so noisy and there's nothing to talk about. It's all written in the book."
I knew he would say that. Sakura had expected it and didn't try to persuade him again. He just added, "I have rejected it for you, but Ninja Academy's children often hang around the door of your laboratory and want to see you, but they were persuaded away by the patrolling ninjas."
Rinto didn't answer, took two mouthfuls of food, and other thoughts came to his mind. When he was adjusting the seal node just now, he suddenly thought that Yin Release's spiritual energy anchor could not only be used in the seal, but also used in previous medical patches, such as for damage caused by mental shock and Genjutsu backlash. He had not been involved in this direction before, so it could just make up for it.
Just as he was thinking about it, Jiraiya's laughter came from outside the courtyard door. Before anyone could enter, the voice drifted in. "Rinto boy? Are you busy? Naruto and I are here to get something."
Rinto put down his chopsticks and looked up to see Jiraiya pushing open the door, followed by Naruto who was carrying an oversized backpack. Naruto's face was full of excitement, and he was a little nervous about going out to practice.
"Sir!" Naruto ran in quickly, scratching his head and laughing, "I heard that you have helped me stabilize the configuration of Nine-Tails? Thank you very much!"
"Well, it's done." Rinto picked up the scroll on the table and handed it to Jiraiya, "The auxiliary configuration can be directly embedded in the outer layer of Eight Trigrams Seal. It will not damage the original seal structure. It can stabilize Nine-Tails Chakra The leakage of can also prevent Natural Energy and Nine-Tails Chakra from interfering with each other when he practices Senjutsu. It can also act as a buffer when Chakra loses control."
Jiraiya took the scroll, opened it and took a look. Even if he was not a top expert on Sealing Jutsu, he could still see how exquisitely designed the structure was. It completely fit in with Fourth's sealing logic, and there was nothing stiff about it. He couldn't help but sigh, "That's awesome, boy. I was worried that it would affect the original seal before, but your design is much more secure than I expected."
"Be careful when using it. Don't force the seal. The nodes are floating. If you force it, it will collapse." Rinto added, his eyes falling on Naruto, "When you practice Ninjutsu, don't ignore it. If your hand is injured again, don't knock on my door."
Naruto blushed, scratched his head and chuckled, "I know, sir! The protective charm you gave me last time was very useful. When I practiced Rasengan, my hands never got cut again! When I come back from practice, I will treat you to Ichiraku Ramen's family portrait!"
"No need." Rinto waved his hand and looked at Jiraiya, "When will you leave?"
"Leave early tomorrow morning." Jiraiya put away the scroll and said with a smile, "The main purpose is to take Naruto out to hide from Akatsuki's sight, and teach him Senjutsu at the same time. With the configuration you gave me, I can feel more at ease. By the way, if there is anything that Senjutsu can't figure out in his practice, I will send you a message later?"
"Okay." Rinto nodded. Mount Myōboku's Senjutsu system has actual training feedback data, which is very helpful for him to perfect the Senjutsu fusion plan.
Jiraiya originally wanted to chat with him a few more words, but seeing that his mind had drifted back to the draft paper on the table, he wisely did not disturb him any more and patted Naruto on the shoulder. "Okay, I got the things, let's go, don't delay Rinto's research."
Naruto quickly bowed deeply to Rinto: "Thank you Mr. Rinto! When I become stronger, I will definitely come back to thank you!" After saying that, he followed Jiraiya to Earth Flow. He even forgot to bring it with him at the courtyard gate, so Rinto got up and took it with him.
The room became quiet again, Sakura put away the dishes, looked at Rinto and picked up the pen again, drawing the configuration related to Yin Release on the paper, without disturbing him, and quietly left.
Rinto pondered over Yin Release's spiritual energy anchoring logic for an entire afternoon, and just when he had some idea, there was another gentle knock on the door outside the courtyard door. It was very gentle, not as jarring as Kai's before.
"Excuse me, is Mr. Rinto here? My name is Kurenai Yuhi." The female voice was very soft and a little cautiously probing.
Rinto was stunned for a moment, Jonin of Kurenai Yuhi, Konoha, is best at Genjutsu, and the essence of Genjutsu is Yin Release's control of spiritual energy, which is exactly the direction he is thinking about now. He stood up and opened the door. "Here, what's the matter?"
Kurenai Yuhi stood at the door, wearing a daily kimono and holding a small gift box in his hand. When he saw Rinto opening the door, he bowed slightly and saluted, with a bit of embarrassment on his face. "I'm sorry to bother you. I have some questions about Yin Release and spiritual energy. I want to ask you. I don't know if it will waste your time."
"Come in and talk." Rinto turned aside to let her in. For him, as long as it was related to research, it was not a waste of time.
Hong followed him into the room and looked at the table full of drawings and classics. She walked very lightly and put the gift box in her hand on the edge of the table. "A little gift, a wagashi made by myself. Thank you for taking the time to listen to me."
Rinto glanced at the gift box and did not move. He pulled up a chair and sat down. "Tell me what the specific problem is."
Hong sat down, sorted out her thoughts, and said softly, "That's it, I major in Genjutsu. The core of Genjutsu is Yin Release, which relies on spiritual energy to affect the other person's senses. But in recent years, after frequently using high-level Genjutsu, something always happens. There is a backlash of mental energy, ranging from a headache for several days to a short-term impact on the flow of my Chakra. Lady Tsunade showed it to me and said it was not an organic damage, but a hidden damage left by long-term overload of mental energy, which cannot be repaired by regular Medical Ninjutsu."
She paused and added, "I read your book "On Basic Chakra Configurations", which talks about the basic logic of Yin Release, as well as the method of stabilizing mental energy. I tried to adjust it, but it still didn't solve the fundamental problem, so I wanted to ask you if there is any way to stabilize the output of mental energy, reduce backlash, and repair the previous hidden damage."
After listening to Rinto, he raised his eyebrows. Most of what he had come into contact with before was physical damage to the body and meridians. This was the first time he encountered this kind of hidden damage at the level of pure spiritual energy, which could just fill the gap in his knowledge of Yin Release's application.
"When you use Genjutsu, what is the output path of spiritual energy?" He picked up the pen, looked at Hong and asked, "The finer the better, including how you inject spiritual energy into the opponent's brain, how to maintain the structure of Genjutsu, and where the backlash usually occurs."
Hong didn't expect that he would ask such a detailed question. She was stunned for a moment, and then started to talk about it seriously, from the basic seals of illusion, to the flow of spiritual energy, to the physical sensation when backlash occurs, and even the structural differences of different illusions. The more she explained, the more interested Lin Yuan became in his eyes. He interrupted her from time to time to ask a few details. He kept writing down the key information with the pen in his hand.
The two of them chatted like this for almost an hour. It was more of a two-way communication than asking for advice. Hong talked about the practical application skills of Yin Release in Genjutsu. These are somatosensory details that cannot be written in books and can only be understood by people who have used Genjutsu all year round; and Rinto points out the problem of her mental energy output from the underlying logic - her Genjutsu structure, in order to pursue the effect, tightens the mental energy too tightly, leaving no room for buffering. Every time Genjutsu is used, the mental energy is forcibly pushed out, and it will naturally backfire after use.
"The problem has been found." Rinto drew a flow model of mental energy on the paper and circled three places. "These three nodes of yours are all one-way output, with no backflow buffer. When the mental energy is overloaded, there is no place to vent, and it will naturally backfire on you." Nervous. Also, the way you maintain Genjutsu is wrong. Instead of relying on continuous infusion of mental energy, Yin Release determines the basic framework of Genjutsu and allows it to maintain its operation, which can save more than half of the mental consumption."
Hong leaned over and looked at the model on the paper, her eyes opening wider and wider. She had practiced Genjutsu for more than ten years, and no one had ever told her from this perspective. In just a few words, Rinto broke down the problems that had troubled her for several years clearly.
"I will draw two things for you." Rinto picked up the pen and said as he drew, "One is the Yin Release guided method of daily repairing mental damage. Practice it for ten minutes a day, and you can slowly heal the previous hidden damage; the other is the optimized structure of the Genjutsu. If you follow the Genjutsu that you often use, you can reduce the mental consumption by half, and there will be no more overload backlash."
He drew very quickly, and finished both sets of plans in half an hour. He also marked the detailed usage and precautions, and even the adjustment ideas for different Genjutsus were clearly written.
Hong took the drawing, her hands shaking a little, and bowed deeply to Rinto: "Thank you so much, Mr. Rinto. You helped me solve the problem that has been bothering me for so long with just a few words. I really don't know how to thank you."
"You're welcome." Rinto waved his hand and said in a very calm tone, "The application details of Genjutsu that you told me are also useful for my research. Let's clear up."
Hong looked at him like this and couldn't help but smile. She had long heard that this Mr. Rinto had a weird temper and only had research in his eyes. When I saw him today, it was indeed like this. He didn't even care about thanking him, but only cared about the research-related content. She didn't bother him any more, thanked him again, and left Earth Flow quietly. When she left, she deliberately closed the courtyard door tightly.
Rinto didn't care whether she left or not. His mind was filled with what Hong just said, the logic of Yin Release's shape in Genjutsu. His previous application of Yin Release was very Most of the time, it focuses on stabilizing the configuration and repairing mental damage. I never thought that Yin Release could be used in this way. It directly relies on mental energy to create a completely virtual sensory experience, and can even affect the flow of the other party's Chakra.
He immediately picked up a pen and wrote down the new ideas he had just thought of. The application boundary of Yin Release was much wider than he had previously expected. It could not only be used with Yang Release for body repair, but also for mental configurations. It could even be combined with Senjutsu to expand more possibilities.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He even forgot to eat dinner and kept lying on the table writing and drawing. It was not until it was completely dark and half of the oil lamps in the room were burned that he stopped to take a breath.
As soon as I put down my pen, a familiar loud voice came from outside the courtyard door. Without even thinking, I knew it was Might Guy.
"Mr. Rinto!! We are here!!" Kai's voice shook his ears through the door, followed by Rock Lee's equally passionate shout.
Rinto's brows instantly furrowed, he rubbed his sore temples, and stood up to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Kai and Rock Lee standing at the door. Both of them were wearing green tights and sweating profusely. It looked like they had just come from the training ground.
"Mr. Rinto!" Kai gave a thumbs up excitedly, "The repair configuration you gave is so useful! I practiced for three days, and my waist and knees, which used to hurt all the time, actually no longer hurt! I just opened the third door, and the burden on my body is much lighter than before!"
Rock Lee also bowed, his eyes full of admiration. "Mr. Rinto! Thank you so much! Guy-sensei has been in very good training condition recently, and no longer has to carry the old injury!"
"Well, as long as the effect is good." Rinto turned sideways and let them in, "I will do a test for you to see the damage to the meridians and cells, and adjust the parameters of the plan."
Kai nodded immediately, sat down obediently and let Rinto test it. He kept mumbling. "I know that youthful efforts will never be in vain! With your plan, I can break through more limits and have a better chance of winning against Kakashi!"
Rinto did not answer his words and concentrated on testing the situation in his body. Sure enough, the old injuries in the meridians had been repaired a lot by Yang Release, and the strains in the muscles were also relieved a lot. The adaptability of the plan was better than expected, and only a few parameters needed to be fine-tuned.
"Recovering well." Rinto took back his hand, changed a few parameters on the paper, and handed it to Kai, "For daily repair configuration, practice according to these new parameters. The configuration for explosion does not need to be changed. From now on, every time you open more than three doors, come to me for a test. I will look at the damage data under the limit state and give you an optimization plan."
"No problem! I'll definitely come on time!" Kai took the drawings, put them away like a treasure, and began to recite the Declaration of Youth passionately. Rinto's head was pounding after hearing this, and he just wanted to send these two people away quickly.
At this moment, Rock Lee suddenly took a step forward, bowed deeply to Rinto, and said in a very sincere tone, "Mr. Rinto! I also have a merciless request. Could you please help me take a look at the damage on my body?"
Rinto raised his eyebrows. "You also practice Eight Gates Released Formation?"
"Yes! I have been practicing Eight Gates Released Formation with Guy-sensei!" Rock Lee raised his head, his eyes full of determination, "I don't know Ninjutsu, nor Genjutsu, I can only rely on Taijutsu, so the amount of training is greater than that of Guy-sensei, and I also have a lot of old injuries on my body. Lady Tsunade said before that if I continue like this, my legs will be useless before I am thirty. I want to ask you, is there any way to alleviate the injuries caused by training?"
He said with a bit of anxiety in his tone, fearing that Rinto would refuse. He knew that Mr. Rinto was very busy and not everyone was willing to help.
Rinto was silent for two seconds. Rock Lee The ultimate strain caused by pure Taijutsu is different from Kai's Eight Gates Released Formation injury. It is a chronic injury caused by years of overload training. It is also a good sample data for him to perfect the repair plan for long-term body strain.
"Okay." He nodded, "Come here, I will do a test on you first to see the damage and give you a targeted repair plan."
Rock Lee's eyes lit up instantly, and he almost jumped up with excitement. He quickly came over and sat down obediently for Rinto to test. He kept saying thank you, "Thank you! Mr. Rinto! Thank you so much! You are my guide on the road to Taijutsu! If you need me to do anything in the future, even if it means running around Konoha a thousand times, I will do it!"
Rinto did not answer the call and concentrated on testing him. Rock Lee's physical injuries were more scattered than Kai's. They were all small muscle tears and meridian wear. They had accumulated over the years and had affected his bones. No wonder Tsunade said that his legs would become useless.
After the test, Rinto drew two sets of plans for him. One is a mental repair method after daily training, which can quickly relieve the strain of muscles and meridians. The other is a configuration that strengthens body tolerance and can reduce the damage caused by training.
"Follow this and you must make repairs after training. Otherwise, if you continue to practice, the damage will still accumulate." Rinto handed the drawing to Rock Lee, "Come back for a review in half a month. I will see the effect and make adjustments for you."
Rock Lee took the drawing with both hands, and his hands were shaking. He bowed to Rinto several times, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak. Kai patted his shoulder and laughed loudly, "That's great Rock Lee! Our youth can take another step forward! In order to thank Mr. Rinto, we will run fifty laps around Konoha tonight!"
"Yes! Guy-sensei!"
The two of them happily thanked Rinto and ran away in a hurry, hot-blooded when they came, even more passionate when they left, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Rinto closed the courtyard door, sighed helplessly, and rubbed his ears that were so painful from the shock. When he turned around and returned to the house, he found the wagashi brought by Hong on the table. He picked one up and tasted it. It was sweet but not greasy, and tasted pretty good.
The moon outside the window has risen very high, and the streets of Konoha are very quiet, except for the occasional footsteps of patrolling ninjas. Rinto is sitting at the table, not continuing to draw drawings, but flipping through the notes about Genjutsu Yin Release that he took down today, slowly sorting out new ideas in his mind.
Most of his previous research centered on the "physical rules of Chakra". Whether it was dismantling Ninjutsu or repairing the body, it was all based on the material level. The logic of Genjutsu brought by Hong allowed him to touch the boundaries of the application of Yin Release on the spiritual level. This is a brand new field that has not been explored at all before.
He flipped through the pages, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. He picked up a pen and wrote a new research title on the blank notebook - "Basic Logic and Application of Yin Release Mental Configuration".
The light of the oil lamp was dim and fell on the side of his face. The evening breeze outside the window blew gently, carrying the smoke of Konoha night fireworks, but he did not notice it at all. In the whole world, only the writing on the paper and the new ideas that kept popping up in his mind were left.
