For those that follow my discord. You may know that my family bought a new kitchen. I was like fine. I'll lose a few days helping them set it up. Replace the old one and all that. (I was against this coz I'm lazy)
Then they are like. Let's repaint the kitchen.(Which I grudgingly admit is common sense. New stuff, new paint. But I still didn't like it)
It's like day 4 and we are not even halfway there yet. Kill me now. And people ask why I'm so lazy, You take a lazy person. make him do even more work than he is required to do. It just makes him even lazier. I would prefer to lie on my bed writing till the end of my days piecefuly.
Sigh a guy can dream. Well here is the chap.

It's been 3 weeks since I completed the Quest. I have been improving at an incredibly fast pace. I have been abusing the Shadow Clone Jutsu for all its worth. A thousand clones each day, all day. That is just mind-boggling.
Just to be clear the Shadow Clone Jutsu does not add the knowledge. It's not as simple as 1+1=2. It multiplies it in a way.
First of all the time-saving. Let's say I train 16 hours a day times a 1000 clones. 16 000 hours of training and studying in a single day. Do that for 3 weeks you get 336 000 hours.
It is said you need about 10 000 hours in something to master it. So that means I could have mastered 336 different magics or whatever in just 3 weeks.
But that isn't even the best part. I don't just make the clones and leave them to themselves.
Every 15 minutes or so, one clone pops itself and I make a new one. The knowledge is then instantly shared to all the other clones. Further speeding up my process. So every 15 min or when one of them gets a breakthrough it pops itself. This is multiplying part of the shadow clone.
I also make a 100 clones pop every 3 hours. So I don't get the stupid headache, well I still get it. But it isn't that bad since I have regeneration.
And for the clones that studied. I just used The Arc to make Gale Force Reading Glasses. The OP one with 120x the speed. If it wasn't for my regeneration my brain would have crashed from all the information I was getting.
I achieved Grandmaster Level in Eldrich Magic.
I have been meditating a lot as well. I feel like I'm close to figuring something out. I notice that after each meditation session.
My main body has been working on the Spirit of Thunder. Since it's a spirit only the main body can use it. I bought some shamanism books and tomes. From the shop.
I got a new power system out of it Furyoku. Now the problem is Furyoku can't be raised by normal training.
Furyoku is the measure of the sixth sense that an organism is born with. Generally, a product of will-power, Furyoku's consistency is contingent upon the being's conviction.
While predetermined upon birth, Furyoku can be increased. However, like the five basic senses (sight, hearing, touch, smell, taste), Furyoku is an inborn power that cannot be improved merely through physical training. The process for increasing a shaman's Furyoku usually involves a "pseudo-death" experience.
Now that's the case in The Shaman King world. Me dying here would mean I would end up in Lady Death's hands. I might be able to make something with the Arc, That would put me in a state of false-death.
That's the only way I see that would work out. The Furyoku amount I got was 30 000. And it hasn't changed at all. during these 3 weeks. At the end of Shaman King Each of the 5 Warriors had 100K Furyoku and that allowed them to wield the Elemental Spirits pretty easily. Now Hao because of his 1000 years of experience and dying and reincarnation. Has 2.5 Milion Furyoku. Which made him a god in the Shaman King world.
I learned all the Shamanic techniques I could. So I did get something out of it. And I can use the Spirit of Thunder. I'm too weak to use it to its full potential but still usable. It's a shame but it is what it is.
Haki training was going smoothly as well. I made a shackle that restricts my powers. So I trained more efficiently. Observation Haki was easy to unlock. Armament not so much.
I had my clones beat the shit out of me. I had to focus my will and form the Haki. Since my body is very strong I already had the necessary strength level to learn Armament. Ever since the little black shine formed on the knuckles of my fist. I have been fighting against my clones while severely restricted. 100 vs 1. And since I have regeneration they could really go all out. That has been going well.
Next is Chronomancy. I would have to be an idiot to pass this up. But only my clones are doing it. The thing is messing with time is delicate stuff and has serious consequences when you make a mistake. One clone just started to age fast-forward because he screwed up. He popped immediately since that counted as an attack and he dispelled.
And since it's such mysterious and old magic. Progress has been slow but bullshit clones speed it up by a lot. If it was just me. I could be studying it for decades and still make little progress.
Chakra Control. Shape and elemental manipulation. That has been great. I have no idea how Naruto was so slow. But I guess it does also take understanding to progress. He has a but load of power and some good Jutsu. But he doesn't understand how he made them or how they function. Kekegenkai training has been going well. I mastered every one I had. Well, not completely I mastered all the basic applications and Jutsu. Put 10 000 Hours in one Kekegenkai and of course, you will master it.
Ninja mostly separates their time. Missions. Kekegenkai training.Body training. Chakra training.Other useful Jutsu. Rest. So putting 10 000 Hours in just one of them is going to lead to a massive leap in strength.
Now Rujinjacka. That hasn't moved at all. Like even a little bit. On the plus side, my clone can train with Rujinjacka but only one clone. On the other side. The blade hasn't responded in any way. There is always a clone with the sword. 'Talking with it'. I don't have any hopes for it. I'm doing this just in case. Otherwise, it will just gather dust in my inventory.

So after 3 weeks of hardcore training. The agreed time has come. It's time to go to Asgard. They should be arriving soon.
Then all of a sudden a multicolored beam light slammed down on the ground
*BOOOM*
When the beam stopped there were 3 people waiting for us. Thor. Sif and Loki?
"My friends how have you been." Thor happily smiles while Loki scoffs. Earning him an elbow to the ribs from Lady Sif.
I mostly ignore them and focus on Thor. His strength has skyrocketed since the last time I saw him. Which was in bed after the beatdown I gave him and the Avengers.
"We have been well Thor. I see you have gotten stronger. If this happens every time I kick your ass you will be surpassing Odin pretty soon"
Loki actually cracks a smile at that. Of course, he will be happy seeing Thor getting hurt.
"Haha. Sif tells me after the fight we had I wouldn't wake up. So she brought me to Asgard. As soon as I got here my strength started increasing in my sleep. According to our healers, I'm unlocking my hidden strength. The fight we had helped unlock some of my potential so thank you for that."
Then he grins at me while smacking his hammer on his palm. "I will be returning the favor as soon as we arrive in Asgard."
HA! He thinks just because he got a power buff he can beat me? You must be tripping Thor
I smile equally as wide as him " I'm looking forward to it. Wonder how long you will sleep after this one."
"Thor its time to go" Sif reminds him
"Right. Please stand near us. Father is waiting for you. The Bifrost is about to activate" Me and Nat get into position and Thor looks at the sky
"Heimdal bring us home."
Then a bright multicolored beam engulfs us.
Next stop. ASGARD.
