Kaguya stared blankly at the explosion in the distance. She couldn't quite understand why a black sphere the size of a finger could produce such power.
Even though that little black ball didn't have much Chakra, she wouldn't dare to take the brunt of such an explosion that didn't rely on Chakra.
Shinsei raised the flamethrower with satisfaction, blew on the muzzle, and then subconsciously tucked it into his waistband.
However, he quickly regained his composure and dispersed the Chakra in his hands to avoid losing another piece of clothing.
Kaguya looked at Shinsei with her beautiful eyes, her gaze filled with longing.
Shinsei turned around, saw Kaguya's eyes, and instantly understood her thoughts.
Do you want to learn?
Kaguya nodded repeatedly. The power of this technique was negligible to Kaguya. But the way Ninjutsu was executed was incredibly cool!
Shinsei thought for a moment and said, "I can teach you, but I have one condition."
Kaguya blinked. "What are the conditions?"
"Give me a drop of your blood," Shinsei said.
Kaguya asked curiously, "What do you need my blood for?"
Shinsei originally wanted to exchange one of Kaguya's techniques. Although his memories of his past life were somewhat incomplete, every Ninjutsu Otsutsuki Kaguya knew was extremely powerful.
However, he wasn't confident he could learn Kaguya's Ninjutsu.
Judging from her current interactions with Kaguya, this woman relies more on her bodily instincts.
Shinsei waved his hand casually, "Let's do some research. Your constitution is special; I'd like to see if we can do any research on it. I won't harm you; do you trust me?"
Kaguya hesitated for a moment, but nodded nonetheless. She extended her left hand and lightly traced a line on her right index finger with her fingernail.
A drop of blood seeped out, its bright red tinged with a faint blue light.
Shinsei took out a small porcelain bottle, caught the blood, sealed it, and put it into his ninja tool bag.
"Alright. Come here, I'll teach you."
He first explained the principles to Kaguya: how to use fire-style Chakra to form a pistol, and how to use the nature transformation of Fire Release Chakra to explode inside the pistol.
The text then explains how to use Sealing Jutsu to compress water in nature into a small black sphere.
Kaguya listened attentively, nodding repeatedly. But when it came to actually controlling it, everything went wrong.
She either used too much Chakra, leaving the surface of the Water Mine pitted and uneven, or she used too little, causing the seal to nearly break before the Water Mine even flew out.
On several occasions, the Water Mine exploded right in front of the two men as soon as they left their hands.
Fortunately, Kaguya reacted quickly and pulled Shinsei aside in an instant. However, a large crater had been blasted into the ground, and several trees had fallen.
" Chakra finer. Like this, spread it on the surface, don't press it in." Shinsei patiently demonstrated it again, step by step.
Kaguya mimicked his gesture, extending her hand. Chakra surged from her palm like a large ball of flame, completely enveloping the Water Mine. She couldn't control her strength, and the flames flickered on and off, unable to even form the shape of a pistol.
"No." Kaguya lowered her head, somewhat dejected. "I can't do it."
Shinsei looked at her; this woman, who in legends could even suppress the Sage of Six Paths, was now unable to even perform the most basic Chakra manipulation.
Her power comes entirely from instinct; a mere gesture can overturn mountains and seas. But when it comes to precise control, it's like trying to thread an elephant through a needle.
How did you use your Chakra before?
Kaguya looked at Shinsei with her eyes wide open, full of grievance.
"I don't know, and I don't need to think about it. It just comes out by itself when I want to use it."
As expected. Shinsei should have thought of it long ago. The princess of the Ōtsutsuki was born with Chakra at the level of the God Tree.
She relied on instinct, her body's natural response to Chakra.
This sensitivity was stronger than any Hand Seals, but it also meant she never learned fine-tuning techniques.
This level of Chakra manipulation, if placed in Konoha, wouldn't even get you out of the Ninja Academy.
He can't even get a Konoha Forehead Protector.
Shinsei didn't pressure her; Chakra manipulation isn't something that can be learned in a short time, and it also heavily relies on talent.
Shinsei's control over Chakra is so great that even in the Shinobi World, very few people can match it.
Or rather, there simply isn't one.
He took out a fist-sized black sphere from the scroll and handed it to Kaguya.
"Here, this is for you," Shinsei said.
Kaguya took it and held it in her hands. The sphere was very heavy, much heavier than the previous Water Mine. Its surface had fine patterns, like some kind of seal.
"What is this?" Kaguya asked.
" Water Mine," Shinsei said, "But they're bigger than the ones we just saw. They seal in nearly half the lake's water."
Kaguya's hand paused for a moment.
"This technique's power does not come from Chakra, and it is not subject to Chakra's control."
Its power remains undiminished regardless of who it faces.
If one day you encounter an enemy you can't defeat and you have no other choice, then use it.
Perhaps we can fight to the death.
Kaguya looked up, staring blankly at Shinsei. Instinctively, she took the black ball Shinsei handed her.
She didn't doubt what Shinsei said. The black ball the size of a finger had already generated such great power. This black ball the size of a fist must possess even greater power.
Kaguya looked solemnly at the black ball in her palm, and with a flick of her wrist, the black ball disappeared.
" Shinsei," Kaguya murmured.
"What's wrong?"
Kaguya lowered her head, her cheeks slightly flushed, and twisted her slender fingers together.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome, it's just a Water Mine. If you want, I can give you another one."
Shinsei didn't think what he did was particularly worthy of gratitude. It was just a waste of time and a waste of Chakra.
On the contrary, Kaguya gave him a drop of her blood. This played a very important role in Shinsei's future research.
In this world with all sorts of strange arts, giving one's own blood to another person requires immense trust.
Thank you for protecting me.
Kaguya's tone was gentle, as if she had gained a great sense of relief.
