Chapter 49 - Departure, leaving the village
Morning
The sun had barely risen as I prepared to leave Konoha. I stood at the edge of my mother's house, the morning air crisp and cool. She had already given me a tearful goodbye, her words of encouragement and her warm hug lingering in my thoughts.
"Be safe, Ruki," she had said, her voice trembling slightly. "We'll be waiting for you to come back."
"I will, Mom," I had replied, giving her one last embrace before turning away. "I'll make sure to come back with good news."
Now, as I walked away from the village, the familiar landscape began to fade behind me. The path ahead stretched out, a mix of excitement and uncertainty swirling within me. I had to leave Konoha and venture into new territories, both for the mission and for my personal growth.
As I moved farther from the village, the surroundings transformed from familiar roads to more rugged terrain. It was time to assess the journey ahead and prepare myself for the challenges to come.
Once I felt I was far enough from the village, I stopped and pulled out my system interface. The familiar blue screen materialized in front of me, and I navigated through the options.
[Ding!!!]
[Does host want to use spatial rift??]
[Cost: 10,000 Shop Points]
[Total System Points: 12,000]
I hesitated for a moment, considering the implications of using the spatial rift. It was a powerful tool, but it would significantly reduce my system points. After a brief moment of thought, I selected "Yes."
A crack opened between time and space, a swirling tear in reality that beckoned me forward. I could feel a magnetic pull, drawing me closer to the rift. With a deep breath, I stepped through.
The sensation was immediate and overwhelming. I felt myself being pulled through a tunnel of white, an endless expanse that seemed to stretch into infinity. The rift was a stark, plain white, with no discernible features or landmarks. It was as if I was floating in a void, surrounded by boundless nothingness.
Inside the rift, I could feel an intense surge of chakra energy. It flowed around me, filling me with a sense of power and vitality. The feeling was invigorating, as if the very fabric of space and time was amplifying my strength.
The journey through the rift was disorienting, but the powerful chakra energy provided a sense of clarity amidst the chaos. I focused on the feeling, letting it guide me as I moved through the rift. The sensation of infinite chakra was both exhilarating and grounding, reminding me of the vast potential that lay ahead.
Inside the rift, time seemed to flow differently. Though it felt like only a month had passed, the boundless chakra energy around me enabled remarkable growth in my abilities.
With the unlimited chakra available, I focused on refining my chakra control, elevating it to an intermediate level. This enhancement significantly improved my precision and efficiency in using jutsu.
Afterwards, I started using shadow clone to enhance the comprehensive speed.
After that, all the shadows used chidori, wind hurricane and fireball towards eachother and update the rank of the Justu.
The lightings flashed infront and behind the scenes, the heat generated by the fire ball and the wind started blowing rapidly due to the wind hurricane.
The **Chidori** evolved into An D Rank Justu, an advanced version that merged lightning with a powerful wind vortex. This new technique delivered devastating strikes with increased range and force, slicing through defenses with ease.
In addition to this upgrade, I developed a new jutsu: Ethereal Veil An C Rank Justu. This enchantment allowed me to become intangible and invisible for a short period. While active, I could pass through solid objects and avoid physical attacks. However, I could not attack or interact with physical objects myself during this time. The Ethereal Veil was ideal for stealth missions, escaping danger, or bypassing obstacles. It required precise timing due to its limited duration and cooldown period.
Of I did it with systems help.
After spending what felt like a month mastering these new abilities, I felt a renewed sense of readiness. The Chidori, Wind Hurricane and Ethereal Veil provided me with powerful offensive and defensive options, enhancing my versatility in the field.
Emerging from the rift, I took a deep breath, fully aware of the strength and capabilities I now possessed. I was prepared for the challenges ahead, equipped with newfound skills and an increased confidence in my abilities. With the rift behind me, I set my sights on the journey that awaited, ready to face whatever lay ahead with renewed determination.
As I continued through the rift, I prepared myself for the transition back into reality. I knew that once I emerged, I would be in a new location, ready to face whatever challenges awaited me. With the rift's energy still resonating within me, I felt more prepared than ever to tackle the journey ahead.
To be continued..
