"Kirito, are you trying to scare me? Are you attempting to dissuade me from graduating early, right? It's impossible. Even if I graduate now, I would be just a low-level genin. There aren't many Jonin ninja in each village. How could the enemy send out a large number of them to kill me?" Nawaki replied, his smile forced.
The reality of his own strength was clear to Nawaki. Graduating from the ninja academy was within his reach, but he knew he was far from matching up to Jonin. While he got lot of chakra, the Shadow Clone Technique, and the limited Water and Earth Release jutsu he had mastered to hold his own against Chunin, facing Jonin was an entirely different matter.
He had no illusions about his chances in such a confrontation.
In his own family, Aunt Momoka was a Jonin, and she was considered one of the best among them. Moreover, his grandmother was even among the strongest Kage-level ninja. He had a clear understanding of the strength of Jonin, and even with his shadow clone technique, he would likely be defeated in seconds.
If Kirito's warning was accurate, choosing to graduate early and go to the battlefield would almost certainly result in his death.
Nawaki had no desire to die, especially not before realizing his dream of becoming Hokage.
Furthermore, his death would cause immense sadness to his grandmother Mito, his sister, and everyone else in the clan.
"Scaring you? Well, let me show you something, and you'll decide if I'm scaring you or not," Kirito sneered.
With that, he retrieved a ninja scroll from his belongings and performed a straightforward space-time ninjutsu.
Summoning Jutsu: Summon Handbook!
A spatial distortion appeared on the ninja scroll, and Kirito produced a thick manual from it.
Flipping through the manual, Kirito showed a specific page to Nawaki.
Curious, Nawaki leaned in for a closer look and felt his face turn pale as he saw what was on the page.
The content on the two pages featured a vivid portrait, and the portrait was none other than Nawaki himself. His name was clearly written alongside some basic information and the reward amount offered for his capture.
Undoubtedly, the manual contained a wanted poster for him.
He had never imagined that, at such a young age and without having provoked anyone, he would be the subject of a reward poster with such a high bounty.
"The bounty is a total of 50 million yen, even higher than most A-ranked criminals. So, do you still think I'm trying to scare you? This bounty would attract countless bounty hunters and ninja from various villages. Nawaki, don't underestimate your own worth. If you were killed, only Tsunade would be left as the successor to the First Hokage's lineage. However, Tsunade-sama is a woman, and there are certain tasks that might not be suitable for her," Kirito said in a calm tone.
"Gulp."
Nawaki couldn't help but gulp nervously.
Although he still didn't fully understand why he had such a high bounty on his head, he now understood one thing clearly: what Kirito had said was true. If he graduated early and ventured onto the battlefield, he would be putting his life at risk.
Without the village's protection, his clan, and his grandmother, he might have been assassinated by those who had placed a bounty on him.
For the first time, Nawaki felt the malevolence of the world and became deeply afraid.
A reassuring hand rested on his shoulder, calming his fear.
"Nawaki, while we can still enjoy the protection of the village and grow in peace, we must work hard to improve our strength. If you want to protect the people in the village, protect yourself, and eventually become Hokage, then you should be careful with your words. We are the new generation of Konoha, and our top priority right now is to work hard to grow. Instead of rushing into the battlefield unprepared to die, we must grow stronger. Only then can we protect the new generation of Konoha," Kirito advised Nawaki earnestly.
The 6-year-old Nawaki may not have fully grasped the complexities of Kirito's words, but he understood the core message: he needed to work hard to become stronger, protect the village, and eventually become Hokage. With determination in his heart, he decided to wait until he had the strength of a Jonin before venturing onto the battlefield to confront the enemy.
As Kirito observed Nawaki's silent determination, he felt a sense of surprise wash over him. He couldn't recall any specific actions he had taken to change Nawaki's fate, and it seemed that Nawaki had not yet graduated from the ninja academy.
Nonetheless, Kirito decided not to dwell on the matter for now. Instead, he made an excuse to leave and quickly returned to his room at the orphanage. There, he accessed his attribute panel to check if the enhancement point was indeed real.
Kirito's attribute panel displayed the following information:
- Ninjutsu: 1
- Body: 0
- Illusion: 0
- wisdom : 4
- Strength: 3
- Speed: 3
- Chakra: 2
- handseal: 2
Chakra Affinities:
- Wind: 0
- Fire: 0
- Water: 0
- Earth: 0
- Lightning: 1
- Yin: 0
- Yang: 0
Ninjutsu:
- Substitution: 1
- Transformation: 1
- Clone: 1
- Thunder Escape·Thunderball: 1
Sealing Technique:
- One layer seal : 3
Spiritualism:
- summoning Art: 1
- Release Art: 1
Reinforcement Points: 1
Seeing that there was indeed a new reinforcement point, Kirito was thrilled. Over the past two months, his progress had been steady but not particularly rapid, especially compared to Chizuru and Nawaki, who had made significant strides.
Kirito attributed part of their progress to the knowledge he had imparted about using shadow clones to accelerate training. However, this had also put some pressure on him, as they had progressed faster than him.
He understood that the attributes of strength and speed had not changed recently because they had reached a certain threshold. To continue making significant improvements, he needed to further develop his physical abilities, a process that would take time.
His wisdom attribute had naturally risen to 4 due to his accumulation of knowledge, but he knew it was mainly due to his insufficient strength and speed. As his body continued to develop, he expected these attributes to improve.
The attribute that concerned him the most was his chakra, which stood at 2. Compared to ordinary ninja, he had more chakra, but it paled in comparison to Chizuru and Nawaki's enormous chakra reserves. This was a source of frustration for him.
Kirito was truly envious of the incredible chakra reserves possessed by the sage body formed from the senju Clan and the Uzumaki Clan. Fighting against Nawaki, he had to be extremely cautious with his chakra usage, while Nawaki could easily split into numerous shadow clones and engage vigorously in battle without any restraint. This situation made Kirito gradually sympathize with Kakashi's predicament. Having a substantial chakra reserve could indeed allow a ninja to achieve remarkable feats.
Kirito had been contemplating the path of acquiring the ashura bloodline , but his blood fusion experiment had not yielded significant progress. He needed to learn more medical knowledge and gain more experimental experience to overcome this roadblock.
As he considered his options, his gaze fell upon the thunder attribute and sealing techniques. It became clear to him that those who achieve greatness don't merely seek momentary strength. Increasing his spirit attribute by using the enhancement point would only raise it from 2 to 3, still falling short of Chizuru and Nawaki's chakra reserves.
He realized that it was wiser to maximize the benefits of his valuable reinforcement points. Hence, he decided to allocate the point to his wisdom attribute, continuing to enhance his intelligence, upgrade his brain's processing power, and further develop his mental arithmetic and sealing technique proficiency. These were the strengths that set him apart from his peers.
When Kirito assigned the enhancement point to the virtue/wisdom attribute once more, the suffix of the attribute increased from 4 to 5. However, this time, the pain he experienced was much more severe than before. It left him drenched in sweat, with a deathly pallor, and nearly caused him to pass out. Blood even flowed from his nose.
But, as always, the pain was followed by a rewarding outcome. Kirito concentrated and mobilized the chakra within him, causing a gloomy, black yin chakra to manifest in his right hand. This was Yin Chakra, and its cultivation had come naturally after his virtue attribute was upgraded.
Yin Release was a chakra nature associated with creating tangible substances from the intangible, essentially a form of spiritual force. The improvement in his intelligence had indirectly strengthened his spiritual power.
Excited by this discovery, Kirito proceeded to test his enhanced intelligence further. He closed his eyes and focused, then slapped the ground. In a matter of seconds, a complex sealing technique called the Triple Layer seal formed on the ground, an upgrade of his previous one layer seal. This new technique had a much stronger binding effect and a larger range, making it capable of restraining a Jonin for several seconds and affecting multiple enemies simultaneously. However, it was significantly more complex to perform than its predecessor, akin to solving a cubic equation compared to a simple linear one.
Before, it would take Kirito at least 30 seconds to successfully deploy this sealing technique. Such a sealing technique was impractical for life-and-death battles that required split-second decisions and could only be set up as a pre-arranged trap.
However, this time, it only took Kirito three seconds to successfully set up the sealing technique, and it now had the potential for use in actual combat.
With his improved intelligence, Kirito's mental arithmetic ability had once again made impressive gains. It was as if his previous mental arithmetic capacity was a single-core processor, but now it had upgraded to a dual-core processor, significantly enhancing its performance.
This improvement in mental arithmetic ability further boosted Kirito's chakra control skills. He rapidly executed the handseals on the spot and unleashed the Thunderball. The number of electric balls generated exceeded those from his previous fight with Nawaki, demonstrating the enhanced efficiency of his chakra control. He could now produce more electric balls with the same amount of chakra.
Next, he extended his right hand and began to mobilize chakra. Numerous chakras began to spin on his right hand, eventually forming a small spiral pill the size of a thumb. Despite its small size, the pill's power was astonishing. As soon as it took shape, it stirred up the surrounding airflow, creating a small whirlwind around Kirito.
The rasengan represented the pinnacle of chakra control and was an excellent way to exercise chakra control. Kirito had been practicing this A-level ninjutsu to improve his chakra control ability further.
As an A-level ninjutsu, the rasengan required a considerable amount of chakra to be released effectively, at least equivalent to a ninja's chakra level. Kirito had previously been unable to perform the technique due to his insufficient chakra reserves.
Now that his chakra control had improved, he could use chakra more efficiently, reducing unnecessary chakra loss when releasing the spiral pill. Consequently, he successfully executed the technique.
Although the rasengan he produced was currently small, there was no doubt that he had mastered it.
"I've successfully used the rasengan with a normal ninja-level chakra. I wonder where my chakra control skills rank among all of Konoha. It shouldn't be too low," Kirito thought to himself, feeling a sense of pride.
With such excellent chakra control abilities, he could learn various ninjutsu with ease in the future. When using ninjutsu, he could significantly reduce chakra consumption, effectively increasing his chakra reserves.
Kirito didn't dwell on his success for too long. He quickly removed the miniature spiral pill and began to meditate, refining his chakra.
After a few minutes, he reopened his eyes and retrieved a psychic scroll from his belongings.
Seal · The Art of summoning jutsu.
In an instant, a peculiar iron rod wrapped in a large quantity of iron wire materialized on the ground.
"Let's give it a try; I think it might work this time," Kirito said with hopeful anticipation. He picked up the iron rod and released a substantial amount of thunder attribute chakra.
Under Kirito's control, the thunder attribute chakra adhered to the iron rod and flowed along the numerous iron wires. During this process, the thunder attribute chakra transformed into a high-voltage current, creating dazzling electric sparks on the iron rod.
After a while, black iron sand began to emerge from the ground, hovering in mid-air.
"It looks like it worked," Kirito exclaimed as he watched the black iron sand continuously emerging from the ground, feeling a surge of joy.
Through the principle of electromagnetism and by using thunder attribute chakra to simulate the electromagnetic process, Kirito employed his powerful mental arithmetic abilities to manipulate the magnetic field.
The result was the ability to control the iron sand within the earth, a form of magnetic release ninjutsu he was currently developing.
