The body exhibits bestial characteristics due to Natural Energy.
This is an imbalance of physical energy; the forcibly introduced external energy disrupts the body's original state of balance.
It manifests as uncontrolled cell proliferation, resulting in all sorts of unpredictable and bizarre shapes. Jūgo is lucky; his body barely manages to maintain a new balance.
Those who were unfortunate died on the spot.
Orochimaru found this balance point through his research on Jūgo's bodily fluids and created the Heaven and Earth Cursed Seal.
If the seal is successfully applied, life force will increase dramatically and Chakra will surge. Although the Cursed Seal is called an incomplete version of Sage Mode, its principle is completely different.
The conventional Sage Mode involves absorbing Natural Energy within the body to achieve a 1:1:1 ratio between spirit, life, and nature.
The method of the Cursed Seal is to release the Senjutsu Chakra stored in the Cursed Seal and forcibly infuse it into the recipient, while the runes all over the body restrain the rampage of Natural Energy.
Strengthening the body at the cellular level, which then feeds back into the meridians, generating power.
This is exactly the technology that Aoki Tsuki wanted.
"Life energy, cell manipulation, Yang Release, holy crap... isn't this the Akimichi Clan's Multi-Size Technique?"
The Ino-Shika-Cho trio are quite unique; they don't follow the conventional ninja path, but rather Yin Release and Yang Release.
He has already mastered some of the secret techniques of the Yamanaka Clan, and what he is learning now is the effect of Yang Release on the physical body, which overlaps with the Akimichi Clan.
The difference lies in the fact that his goal is not macroscopic multiplication, but rather strengthening cells from a microscopic perspective.
Aoki Tsuki's advantage lies in his extraordinary spiritual energy. After being developed, he has become far ahead of others. Now, having run more than halfway down this path, his speed has decreased sharply.
Looking back, I realized that my physical energy was holding me back.
To break through the current bottleneck, one must improve their physical fitness; otherwise, they will always be an unbalanced student.
Chakra Extraction Technique only allow him to use shortcuts, but they don't solve the fundamental problem; some techniques require a strong physical body to support them.
" Chakra connects to physical energy, which in turn affects cells, amplifying local tissues, and I can then precisely control it using my neural pathways."
With a two-pronged approach, this is a sure thing.
Aoki Tsuki was overjoyed to have discovered Tsunade; he could now expand other areas as well.
"Haha... I'll give Sister Mimoto a surprise next time."
That's why they say interest is the best teacher. It was already late at night, but he wasn't sleepy at all and continued his research all night.
The first area to improve is combat ability, starting with your hands.
Because hands are multifunctional and can be used in various combat situations, their advantages are very obvious.
After success, it can withstand greater tearing forces and accumulate more Natural Energy, reaching the level of Super Shinra Tensei.
He didn't even consider the Nine-Tails a threat.
Of course, this is the ideal situation, and the plan is to carry out distributed and even reinforcement; otherwise, the workload would be too large, and it would take a lifetime to complete.
"Luckily, I have the 'Heaven Rewards Diligence diligence' cheat code, which is specifically designed for these kinds of small things that require repetitive persistence."
He needs to operate it carefully at first, but what if he repeats this process a thousand, ten thousand, or a million times?
Even the most complex things become instinctive, turning into trivial matters.
People who frequently change jobs will find that no matter what the job is, no matter how high-level it seems, in the end it's all just copying and pasting.
" Rain Breathing - Seventh Realm, Breath of Heaven, exhale..."
This realm relies on Sage Mode to achieve a state of oneness with nature. The high-speed slashing blade tears through the air, creating a scene accompanied by flowing waterfalls, as if the sky is weeping.
Now, we also need to enter the Sage Mode first, to achieve a state of oneness with nature, and use breathing techniques to attach Natural Energy to oxygen.
It supplies Natural Energy through the body's blood circulation system, which is different from the way Natural Energy is absorbed in the conventional Sage Mode.
Natural Energy, carried by oxygen, also reaches the cells and participates in cellular metabolism.
Starting with the first cell, we fueled it with Natural Energy number 98.
Thud...
Damn it, it actually exploded!
Cells are the smallest unit that makes up human life and the original source of life energy.
After improving the production process, the product is no longer the 'original' life energy, but rather life energy with a 'divine' flavor, that is, a 'hybrid', with a hybrid ratio of 1:1.
"Is it a matter of proportion, or some other reason...?"
There's no other way but to try them one by one.
"It's alright, I have 130 trillion cells. I can afford to build it using an exhaustive method, trying out all the different filler ratios."
Aoki Tsuki remained unfazed and continued trying.
Amegakure, West District.
Konan also sat by the window, observing the ripples caused by the falling rain.
His progress in cultivating Secret Mind Technique was remarkably rapid; he completed the steps of mental refinement and expansion in just a few years.
She can now manipulate several times more paper folds at the same time than before, and the attack speed and flexibility of the paper have been greatly improved.
Even Pain had to carefully examine the disguise of the ' Paper Person of God ' to detect it.
Her speed slowed down in the second stage because she didn't have any special abilities; even the Rinnegan couldn't offer much help at this stage.
It can only be refined slowly.
Previously, she didn't take this stage of the technique seriously, feeling that even if she mastered it, it wouldn't be of much use; she didn't have a voyeuristic tendency.
However, the information from Scorpion made her uneasy.
Aoki Tsuki and Itachi fought privately for some unknown reason, and Itachi's Genjutsu seemed to have lost its threat to him.
Itachi's talent is no less than Shisui's, and the fact that he possesses the Mangekyō Sharingan is no secret. Genjutsu is his main character trait.
This incident is enough to prove the value of this technique.
In Konan's mental world, her brain tissue has been enclosed by a circular castle, a ' Barrier of the Heart '.
Pain provided design and guidance, while she herself undertook the core construction work.
The round, purple castle has iron spikes sticking out from its exterior, making it look like a hedgehog. Each spike carries a huge piece of paper.
The paper had tadpole runes written on it, which served to enhance its defensive capabilities.
This is a new feature added recently. It was added to prevent Aoki Tsuki from spying on her mind. Last time, he spoke directly into her brain, which scared her quite a bit.
Konan's personal experiences have led to an extreme lack of security and an instinctive wariness of anything beyond her control.
This can indeed prevent others from freely prying into her mental world, and can even counteract ordinary Genjutsu.
Unfortunately, her efforts were destined to be in vain.
This is completely ineffective against Telepathy, because the principle of Telepathy is the resonance of mental fluctuations, not infiltrating another person's mental world.
Konan is currently working hard to improve her mental acuity.
"Phew... This is so difficult. Why can Yue do it so easily?"
According to Karin and Ajisai, it only took Aoki Tsuki a little over a month to develop and master this secret technique before he moved on to researching it in greater depths.
"Could it be that I'm less talented than him in this area...? That can't be."
Having manipulated paper since childhood, Konan is very confident in her ability to control it precisely. She mastered the Secret Mind Technique that Aoki Tsuki had practiced for over a decade in just a few years.
I don't understand, it doesn't make sense.
She has a strong will and doesn't give up easily; she stays up late every night to practice.
"That guy might have developed some advanced techniques. What if my cultivation speed can't keep up with his development speed?"
He'll definitely laugh at me to himself!
On the other side, Yurika was telling Karin a story to lull Karin to sleep.
" Karin, what do you think about becoming a family with Tsuki-sensei?" Yurika asked tentatively.
Unexpectedly, Karin firmly shook her head and said, "No way!"
"Why? Is Teacher Yue not good to you?"
"He likes to lie, he's a big liar, I don't want to be family with him." Karin's voice suddenly rose, her emotions running high.
Seeing Yurika quickly hugged Karin tightly. "Okay, okay, we'll listen to you, we won't be family with him."
"Yes, Mom, just the two of us is fine."
Karin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Her ability allowed her to sense good and evil, whether others were lying, and to perceive their emotions.
She almost thought she was going to lose her mother just now, which terrified her, hence her strong reaction.
'You bad teacher, don't even think about taking my mom away from me, hmph!'
Yurika secretly rejoiced: 'Lord Tsuki, it's Karin who doesn't like you, so don't blame me!'
The mother and daughter, each lost in their own thoughts, fell asleep.
Aoki Tsuki; his cells were working overtime all night, driving him crazy.
He's someone who likes to find loopholes; walking honestly and straightforwardly isn't his style.
In a life of rapid advancement, there is no time for trial and error.
"I've wasted two hundred of my cells! I can't stand it. I have to take a shortcut. If I keep trying like this, when will I ever get anything done?"
His experimentation with two hundred cells led him to discover something different.
Some cells were very resilient, which he initially thought was due to the influence of Senjutsu Chakra, but later found that it was not.
A very few cells exhibited remarkable vitality, persisting for a long time, unlike his species.
"Could it be because he drank Yurika's blood back then?"
During that period, in order to figure out the Tidal Meridian Expansion Method, he was often injured. He took the opportunity to drink a lot of Yurika's blood, which resulted in a slight increase in his own Chakra.
These enhanced cells are very resilient; they continue to divide and regenerate within his body, playing a vital role.
He has now noticed these abnormal cells through experiments.
Previously, it was thought that Natural Energy was consumed during the process of cell production, so the proportion was gradually increased.
It still exploded!
It turns out that his cells and the cells affected by Yurika have different tolerances, so the timing of the explosions is naturally different.
It's like having an experimental group and a control group; by comparing them, the problem can be discovered.
"Could it be that the cells are too fragile to withstand the violent Natural Energy?"
Natural Energy is disordered and violent, and cells cannot withstand its damage. We need to find a way to tame this wild horse and make it pull the cart obediently.
It seems I need a rein.
