Chapter 19 - Chapter 19

I have finally finished making the Yang Energy Training Seal.

I made this seal on paper and also added a projection seal. Oh, and also the Yang Energy Attracting Seal, because I can't release Yang energy manually yet, I need to familiarise my body with this seal. The training is quite simple, I just have to complete the tasks, for example, I have to make the same shape as the seal asks for, and the seal also gives points for the results of the shape I make. If I manage to get a hundred points for my drawing, then the next requested drawing would be much more difficult.

It's the same as counting, the seal will ask me to enter the amount of Yang energy that the seal has determined, for example, the seal will ask me to enter 500 points of Yang energy, how do I know exactly what 500 points of Yang energy is?

It's by trial and error, and from there I can also become familiar with how much yang energy is, it's probably the same as knowing how many red and white blood cells are in my body.

So, let's start the training.

I activated the seal and a 3D projection appeared in the middle of the room, Displays a screen with two menus, Shapes and Quantities. I chose the shape menu, as the start of my training. And then appear a simple shape that I had to recreate with my Yang energy. It's like playing a video game, but instead of using a controller, I'm using my finger with Yang energy.

The first form was a simple circle. I focused my mind and then the white energy came out of my fingertip, I began to draw the circle in the air and as I did, the seal began to score my performance. It was surprisingly easy and I scored 80 out of 100. Not bad for a first attempt, I thought to myself. Then I repeated it until I got 100 points. It was quite addictive and before I knew it, hours had passed.

As I moved on to more complex shapes, my control over the energy began to improve. The seal was giving me points based on how close my shapes matched the ones it projected.

Maybe I can add a precision seal that works like Dance Dance Revolution or maybe Guitar Hero, that's great.

Wait, what about the music?

"Um..." I tried to think of every possibility.

Ah, I can't think of any.

If I could make music that would be great, it's just that I can't. If only I could take the music out of my head and put it into the seal. But that seems quite difficult, because it involves a mind transfer or something.

"...."

What about transferring the image in my head into the seal?

Isn't an image easy enough?

Does it work the same way as transferring music?

"...."

Wait, didn't I say I wanted to make Augma as a means of communication?

So how do I convert my memory of a piece of music into a seal so that the seal can play music?

"...."

Maybe if it was a direct sound it would be possible, but this music is in my head and I need to be able to remember it in detail, otherwise there might be some unclear notes.

Well, I'll think about it later, right now I'm going to do what a gamer should do.

Get all the points perfectly in every task. Well, not all gamers do that. Maybe I'm the only one.

Hang on, I can make a chakra control training seal similar to this, and then make a leaderboard score as a bonus. Walking on water or tree climbing training is still necessary, I think.

But making Chakra Control training easier, isn't that good?

And with the leaderboard score, you can compete in chakra control training.

Who wouldn't be proud to be number one?

Well, that's me, I was once at the top of the school, in the category of students who were often late. Three years in a row. And I wasn't proud of it.

But come to think of it, it made me quite famous among the students and teachers.

"...."

"But now, let's get serious." I told myself.

I focused my energy and went to the quantity menu. The seal displayed a numerical value and my task was to fill a virtual sphere with the exact amount of Yang energy. The numbers grew as my skill increased and I found myself lost in the rhythmic process of channeling and releasing energy.

Sweat began to form on my forehead as I pushed the limits of my understanding. Each successful task brought a sense of achievement, while each failure was a learning opportunity. I could feel my body adapting.

As the numbers grew, the seal began to challenge me with more complex numbers. Like 6969, 666, 831, 224, etc. The thrill of the game-like training made me forget the passing hours.

But as I reached the number 9999, something strange happened. The seal suddenly flashed with a bright light.

"What the...?" I stared at the paper in shock, not knowing what I had just triggered.

I tried to observe the paper until I didn't realise that there was something on the projection screen.

"You have reached the maximum limit." It read.

The sudden message on the projection screen broke my concentration. I couldn't remember making a formula seal like that. I also forgot to check the limit of the seal.

"...."

Well that was quick.

Then I looked towards the window where it was already dark outside.

"...."

Or I thought it was long enough.

---|||---

Then I had a bath and went into the kitchen to see if dinner was ready.

I think I should make liquid soap, yes, that's a good idea. I once read the composition of a liquid soap.

I just can't remember it, maybe if I strengthen my brain with Yang energy I can remember it. Well, who knows?

It's not that if I remember it, I can make it right away. Because if the ingredients use chemicals that I don't know how to make, it's useless.

Maybe I can make soap with natural ingredients.

But first, where is everyone?

"...."

I didn't see Ise and the others at the table, just a few servants serving the food.

"Where's Ise-san and the others?" I asked the nearest servant.

The servant looked up at me with a smile. "They've been invited to dinner by the council members. They left a while ago."

My eyes narrowed slightly. "I see."

"Why wasn't I invited?" I asked the servant.

The servant looked at me with a puzzled expression. "I'm not sure, but they may be drinking too, which is probably why you were not invited."

"Ah, I see." I nodded. I sat down at the table, which was decorated with a feast of local delicacies. The aroma filled the room, but my thoughts remained with Ise and the others. The Council's true intentions are still a little vague to me, but I'm not too worried about their safety since I've given them clothes with seals on them, not to mention the curse seals on them.

"...."

Before I ate this food, I checked with my glasses whether it was poisonous or not. Fortunately, it's clean.

I ate quietly, savouring everything I ate, not perfect, but good nonetheless.

---|||---

It was a good dinner.

And now I'm trying to manipulate my Yang energy to strengthen every cell and organ in my body.

Well, the Yang energy training seal I made is really amazing. In less than a day I can control my Yang energy from inside my body.

I'd like to say that it doesn't make sense, because usually it takes days or weeks to train something like this, to be able to control even a little bit of Yang energy.

Maybe I'm wrong, because what they usually train is not pure Yang energy, but the transformation of the Yang nature in the chakras. It's just that I don't use the chakras to control the Yang energy in my body, so maybe I can make a chakra nature transformation training seal.

But before that, I still have to manipulate my Yang energy. Fortunately, I have a lot of Yang energy reserves in my inventory, so if I'm about to run out of Yang energy, I can just put the Yang energy in my inventory into my body, and I can do it endlessly.

I also do it slowly, cell by cell, organ by organ. It may not look like anything has changed physically, but I can feel every part of my body overflowing with power.

Today at least, I want my bones to have the hardness of steel. Yes, man of steel. All I need is a red cape and a blue suit with an 'S' symbol on the chest.

But it takes a long time to do it manually, so can I create a seal to help me automatically manipulate the Yang energy to strengthen my body?

It seems a bit complicated. But that doesn't mean it's impossible.

"...."

Oh, I can also make seal paper that contains healing jutsu, for other people of course, because for the people in my village, the clothes I make for them already have automatic healing seals on them, so they don't need this healing paper, and I can also sell this healing paper to the ninja village that is at war.

"...." I nodded like a good businessman.

Well, you can fight as long as you want, as long as you do that, of course, I will make a lot of profit.

*Ding*

Oh, as if something had happened to Ise and the others, because I heard a warning sound from my glasses.

I looked at the condition of all of them and it turned out that they were drunk, and some were even under the influence of drugs.

I could have purified the effects of the drinks and drugs, but I wanted to know what their purpose was in doing all this, and also that they would be suspicious if Ise and the others suddenly sobered up.

I put their curse seal into spectator mode, so I could see and hear what they were doing and talking about.

-3rd POV-

They were sitting at a round table, surrounded by members of the Council, and the atmosphere was quite festive, full of laughter and clinking glasses. Ise's face was a little flushed, while the others were already drunk.

It seemed that the council members were trying to get Ise to reveal the secret of his water-making technique.

"Ise-san, tell us about your miraculous discovery." One of the council members asked, his eyes glittering with greed.

Ise chuckled. "Ah, actually, it's not my invention at all. It's all thanks to Haruto-sama's ingenuity."

The room grew quiet as all eyes turned to Ise. The council members looked intrigued, "Oh, this Haruto-sama of yours, is that the young doctor?" One of them spoke up, his voice thick with scepticism.

"Yes, he is," Ise replied with a proud smile, his speech slightly slurred by the alcohol. "Without him, we wouldn't be sitting here discussing such matters."

The council members exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of curiosity and calculation. One leaned closer, his eyes narrowing. "Oh, if you asked him how it was made, would he tell you? Or perhaps he wouldn't tell you even if you were his closest confidant? "

Ise chuckled, the warmth of the alcohol affecting his body and mind. "It's his right not to tell us, and our duty not to question anything he does."

"So that's it, you're loyal to your friends." Another Council member spoke, his tone sharper than the others.

Ise just laughed about it. He took a sip of his drink, not noticing the subtle change in the Council's expression.

-3rd POV end-

Oh, so that's their plan, to get them drunk and ask them things they want to know.

Too bad their plan didn't work.

And maybe after that, their target will be me. Well, it looks like the plot where I feud with Hidden Rain Village or even the Daimyo of the Land of Rain is about to happen.

"...."

It looks like I need to make Augma faster so I can send it to the village and communicate with Konan.

They are politicians and the means they will use may be much more cunning.

That's why I have to be prepared.

But of course, after I have strengthened my body with Yang energy, at least, as I said, my bones first.

What about the lungs?

Just in case I go up against Hanzo, even if I can make a poison purifying seal, there's no harm in trying. Alright, bones and lungs.

I focused my Yang energy and began to manipulate it, pushing it into my bones, making them denser and harder, like steel. It was a strange sensation to feel my body changing from within. It's like someone is pumping iron into my veins, making me stronger, making me... invincible.

"...."

As I continued my training, focusing on my bones and lungs, I could feel my body adapting to the new levels of power. My breaths became deeper and my skeletal structure began to feel unyielding.

Every cell vibrated with newfound strength, and my lungs expanded with ease, filling with the energy-laden air. It was as if I was rewriting my own genetic code.

"Ah, that feels good," I murmured to myself, a satisfied smile playing on my lips.

I looked at the window, it was still dark outside, it was really hard for me to tell the time here, there was only rain and it was also dark.

Does it look like I'll have to put a time seal on my glasses?

Or can I replace the glasses I'm wearing with the Augma I'm going to make?

No, as I recall, the shape of the Augma is unique, so I can't make an Augma yet, but for these glasses I don't need to make them again, just add some seals and then copy it and send it to Konan, that way it will be much quicker.

How do I send it?

Of course, with teleportation, I don't even have to bother going to the Hidden Leaf to learn or steal the Flying Thunder God Jutsu.

I can make my own teleportation jutsu. But I still can't combine it with my fighting style.

"...."

I added some new seals to my glasses, then copied them into my inventory and sent them to Konan, luckily Konan's clothes already had a receiving seal. And that could be the destination of my teleportation seal.

And I also sent a note for her to wear it when her glasses arrived.

"...."

The glasses were delivered on the spot.

I could feel the connection as the seal activated and the glasses left my hand and appeared in front of Konan.

"...."

Has Konan not received it yet?

But I checked that it had arrived.

Why hasn't she contacted me?

"...."

I checked the time on my glasses, and it was 3 am.

"...."

Well, it's my fault, I sent it at 3 am.

"...."

As Squidward said, who wants to wear glasses at 3 am?

---|||---

-3rd POV-

"Damn it!" Said a council member in annoyance, "None of them know, the secret."

"You're right, it looks like even our genjutsu plan will be useless if the target is those useless people." Another Council member spoke with a hint of frustration.

They all agreed with that person's opinion, "That boy named Haruto, do the genjutsu plan on him later." A suggestion from one of the council members.

"Agreed, but we must act quickly, if the Daimyo's messenger arrives before we carry out our plan, it will all be for nothing." another council member said with a greedy glint in his eyes.

The council members nodded in unison, their faces a mask of greed and cunning.

"We need to make a plan for him to be alone." another council member suggested, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

"Indeed," another member chimed in, "it is clear that the Doctor is the key to this secret. If we can get him alone, we might have better luck."

"What about Hanzo? Does he agree?" a council member spoke up, stroking his beard thoughtfully.

"He didn't agree, so I'm looking for a ninja we can bribe to do what we tell him. If I can't find one, we'll have to use ninjas from other villages, which is a big risk. But if we succeed, the benefits will be immeasurable." he replied, his eyes gleaming with ambition.

The room filled with murmurs of agreement as the council members plotted.

-3rd POV end-

---|||---

I make the nature transformation chakra training seal for water release and the yin energy training seal.

Well, Fuinjutsu is broken, that might be one of the reasons why the Land of Whirlpool was destroyed.

I don't know why so few people are really good at Fuinjutsu, is it because their writing has to be precise?

"...."

Maybe that's why they should learn calligraphy first. Because my own fuinjutsu is based on the alphabet, and it is very easy to learn to write.

And this is also the case for others who try to imitate my seal, they can follow my seal even if they don't know what it means.

That is why I protected it with a safety seal and my new seal, the illusion seal. So it's as if what they see is a seal with Kanji instead of the alphabet.

"...."

"Alright, let's start the water release training," I said to myself.

Just like the Yang energy training, this water release training uses form and number seals, so it will be easier for me because I am used to it.

And after this, I also want to practice my Yin energy. I have no time to sleep today, as my adrenaline is running high.

---|||---

From the morning until the afternoon I didn't leave my room because I was too absorbed in my training.

One of the reasons was that when I was training my yin energy, suddenly my observation haki range became wider, I could even tell the position of people in my observation haki range.

The more I train my yin energy, the stronger my observation haki becomes, so I even thought, if yang energy can be used to strengthen the body, what about yin energy?

Can I strengthen my soul?

So I became too obsessed with Yin energy, and I even removed the number limit on the training seal.

I still can't do it, but I'm optimistic that I can. I've also been thinking about how to use the Armament Haki, well, I can use the Armament Haki now. How does it work?

"...."

Yin Release uses spiritual energy to control the imagination and create something out of nothing.

And Armament Haki is a product of Yin Release. No, more like Yin-Yang Release.

Why is that?

It's because the Yin energy in my imagination is an invisible shield protecting my body, and with the help of the Yang energy, I can actually manifest the Armament haki in my imagination.

But if it's called Yin-Yang release, it's not true either, because I don't use any chakra at all.

It's pure Yin and Yang energy.
