Chapter 14: Mind Body Switch Technique
Ino continued to add points. She moved the pot point to the "Nin" area, with a simple and clear idea: to focus on one attribute and add it to 10, then switch to another attribute.
"Hmm?" Just before she was about to invest the pot point, the information fed back from the panel surprised her.
1 pot point could not increase "Nin" from 7 to 8. It seemed that 2 pot points were needed, 3 were needed from 8 to 9, and she didn't see the information from 9 to 10. She guessed that it would probably require 4, and might also need some other conditions.
This was troublesome.
Ino hesitated.
The sudden change made her not add points rashly. She planned to plan it out carefully.
Reading, resting, the second day of not going to school passed quickly.
Late at night on the second day, the village was quiet. Except for the patrolling ninjas, most of the villagers had fallen asleep.
The Yamanaka family's secret technique was very eerie. They didn't practice during the day, but at night.
Ino had no objection to this. Night it was.
The father and daughter stood in the open space in the backyard. Inoichi first explained the sequence of hand seals for the Mind Body Switch Technique in detail, then brought over a large stone and said, "Use your mental power to sense this stone, and then form the Mind Body Switch seal."
If it were the past, Ino would have secretly complained a few words. What was there to sense about a broken stone?
Today, her heart was very calm. With her eyes slightly closed, she found the location of the stone in her perception, and then formed a special hand seal that did not belong to the twelve ninja hand seals.
Her arms stretched out, the thumbs of her left and right hands pressed against each other, her index and middle fingers overlapped, her ring and little fingers raised, forming a "heart" shape. Ino mixed her mental energy and physical energy in a ratio of nine to one, creating chakra, and then projected it towards the stone in her perception.
The stone was empty, there was nothing inside, and it could not accommodate her chakra. After going around, with the instinctive pull in her body, this part of the chakra smoothly returned with her personal consciousness.
Roughly guessing the purpose of Inoichi is training, Ino suppressed the restless mental energy in her brain. She took a few deep breaths, and the discomfort in her body subsided by 70% to 80% before she opened her eyes.
Inoichi asked, "What did you see in the process?"
"Hmm..." Ino thought about it seriously and said from an objective perspective, "Energy, the ubiquitous energy in nature..."
She was a little surprised that the Yamanaka family already knew about the existence of natural energy, but according to her observation, this natural energy was not as good as the anime said. It was incredibly manic.
To put it more mysteriously, it might be because the endless killing in this world made natural energy full of negative emotions. If there was no way to purify it, then it would definitely drive anyone crazy who absorbed it.
Inoichi did not make a subjective comment, but continued to ask, "What do you feel about that energy?"
This time, Ino answered quickly, "Mixed, and... hmm, it feels very dangerous to me?"
Inoichi nodded, "Yes, nature is full of all kinds of energy, and this energy is very dangerous. When using the Mind Body Switch, remember to pay attention to distance and perceive in advance to avoid this chaotic energy."
Ino took these words to heart very seriously. What she was practicing today was the Mind Body Switch Technique, not Sage Mode.
At this stage, she was as weak as a chicken. To come into contact with natural energy recklessly would be playing with fire.
One needs to be strong to strike iron. If the physical energy and mental energy are not strong enough, one cannot control natural energy. She didn't know about Mount Myoboku and Ryuchi Cave, but Sage Mode of Mount Myoboku had an obvious threshold, that is, there must be enough chakra. Ino estimated that she had to add the "refined" item to 10 to be qualified to come into contact with Sage Mode.
Currently, she still had to practice the family secret technique diligently.
In the first half of the night, Ino kept struggling with the big stone in front of her.
The secret technique of the Yamanaka clan, from beginning to end, embodied the word "danger".
It was dangerous to get started, it was dangerous to project mental energy out, and it was also very dangerous to smoothly retract mental energy back into the body.
Fortunately, except for the introductory stage, the following content was inseparable from ninjutsu. Chakra was omnipotent! Her own "Nin" was as high as 7 points, a proper Jonin level. The difficulties in the secret technique had been explained in detail by her predecessors, so Ino learned it relatively smoothly.
After all the preliminary training was completed, the last step began in the second half of the night.
"Ninja Art: Mind Body Switch Technique!"
Ino pointed her hands at a deer that Inoichi had brought from the Nara family.
Deer were the most spiritual and docile animals.
Ino's mental energy was invested in the deer's inner world in the way of the Mind Body Switch. Her eyes were blood red, and her brain felt boiling again. The feeling of panic only lasted for a moment. She had read the notes of her predecessors and knew that this was a normal phenomenon.
The secret technique2 was like an awl, directly piercing the target's inner world.
In just an instant, Ino replaced the deer's soul, completing the whole process of taking over.
She moved a bit. From her original body to the animal's body, she felt that the deer's body was abnormally stiff, and this body was consuming the chakra carrying her personal consciousness every minute and every second.
If she couldn't return to her body in time and her chakra was exhausted, her personal consciousness might be gradually worn down and assimilated by the deer.
Ino persisted for half a minute. When more than half of her chakra was consumed, she released the Mind Body Switch Technique and returned to her own body along the instinctive pull of her body.
"Drink it quickly."
Her mother, Yamanaka Rino, brought her a large bowl of what looked like a very bitter potion.
Knowing that this was used to restore mental energy after the first use of the secret technique, Ino didn't need the two of them to urge her. She pinched her nose and forced it down.
About two minutes later, the discomfort disappeared, and she stood up again.
The secret potion, the formula, the notes of the predecessors, plus the guidance of an experienced senior, outsiders really couldn't steal the Yamanaka family's secret technique. Even if Ino was captured now and the hand seal method was known, without these external aids, no one else could practice the secret technique.
There were a lot of people who coveted the Byakugan and Sharingan, but almost no one coveted their Yamanaka clan's secret technique. From the Warring States Period to the present, the Senju and Uchiha were all gone, but the Yamanaka and Nara, these small families, survived to the end. It had to be said that this was full of the wisdom of survival.
Yamanaka Rino, the tool person, quickly left the courtyard with the medicine bowl, and Ino continued to listen to her father explain the main points of the Mind Body Switch Technique.
"That... Dad, I've mastered the Mind Body Switch Technique, right?"
"Hmm, yes, you're cultivating faster than I expected."
"Then when can I start the second stage, the Mind Disturbance Technique training?" Ino was not satisfied with the achievement of forcefully controlling Obito for two seconds, which seemed very strong, but actually had little impact on the battle situation. She wanted more.
