Chapter 142 Lightning Release Chakra Mode
A biting wind, carrying snowflakes, lingered over this forgotten corner of the snow country.
Here, there is only a solitary laboratory standing on the boundless snowfield, a place where even the people of the Snow Kingdom never go.
In the laboratory, Yuan Tuoye leaned back in a recliner with his eyes closed. His body was asleep there, but his mind had long since left his body.
At this moment, he is using the art of spiritualization to anchor his core consciousness into a strange body.
Inside that "container" that carries his will, his spiritual phantom remains seated, appearing as serene as the deep sea.
However, a faint, strange noise rang out in the quiet laboratory, coming from the controlled body.
Upon closer inspection, a thin, bluish-white arc of electricity, like a mischievous electric sprite, occasionally leaps and flickers across the skin, emitting a barely audible crackling sound.
Yes, Gen Takuno is repeatedly trying to recreate the core secret technique of Kumogakure, the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, in this laboratory.
Compared to the complex and ever-changing bloodline limits that involve fusion, analyzing this secret technique known for its powerful amplification seems to have a clearer path in Minamoto's opinion.
He was not without his strengths: his innate and meticulously honed chakra control should have been his trump card in learning any ninjutsu.
This should have been a huge advantage —
However, reality is quite different.
It wasn't that he lacked the ability to control chakra, nor was it that the control requirements of this secret technique were too far-fetched.
The root of the obstacle lies in the fact that this body is not Minamoto Takuno's own.
The Spirit Transformation Technique itself maintains a fragile connection between the spirit and flesh, requiring extremely sophisticated chakra control to stabilize the framework.
The more arduous task is that he also needs to continuously suppress the host's instinctive, subconscious resistance with his own mental will, which is a huge and ongoing mental burden.
Under such demanding double consumption, it's already quite remarkable that his chakra manipulation ability projected onto this unfamiliar body could reach an "excellent" level of stable operation.
However, this "excellent" level of chakra control is woefully inadequate when it comes to the enhancements gained from studying Lightning Release chakra patterns.
His true strength did not lie in his control over his body, which had been weakened to the extreme by the environment, but in the vast body of knowledge about the human body in his mind and his profound medical ninjutsu skills, especially his thorough understanding of the human body.
This was his foundation. Moreover, his shadow clones were constantly studying the precious medical scrolls they had obtained from Tsunade, continuously incorporating new knowledge and insights into his main body, which allowed his medical understanding to continue to deepen.
At this moment, his mind was racing, drawing upon all the knowledge he had about muscle structure, nerve pathways, and energy nodes.
The essence of Lightning Release Chakra Mode is to use the transformed lightning chakra to precisely and intensely stimulate the entire body, thereby forcibly enhancing physiological activity and unleashing extraordinary power and speed.
The better one understands the texture of each muscle, the conduction of each nerve bundle, and the key points where energy converges, the more accurately one can grasp when and where "stimulation" should occur, and how to regulate and guide its intensity to achieve optimal targeted reinforcement.
Countless days and nights of immersive research have finally begun to bear fruit.
Looking back, the experiment was full of uncertainty, and it took several precious "materials" to barely find a way out.
However, this is inevitable due to the accumulation of technology and the improvement of knowledge.
Now, he has long since left behind that chaotic early stage, and every step of his research is on a mature and stable track.
He successfully mastered how to use Lightning Release chakra to efficiently, independently, and specifically enhance the strength or speed of various parts of this body, such as the hands, feet, chest, abdomen, and back.
Yuan Tuoye sighed silently: "Now, I'm only one crucial step away from integrating the scattered local reinforcement plans into a coordinated and functioning whole system."
He knew that once he crossed this threshold, it would mean that his analysis of the Lightning Release chakra pattern had finally taken a landmark step towards initial success.
Accompanied by a kind of spiritual "humming", the spiritual core hidden deep within the alien body was finally extracted.
Gen Takuno slowly opened his eyes, the cool air touching his real skin, bringing a long-lost sense of reality.
He stretched his stiff neck, then raised his hand, his slender fingers massaging his temples. Forcibly driving others to perform high-intensity chakra manipulation experiments, even he felt mental exhaustion spreading like water stains deep within his consciousness.
The experiment that just ended was remarkably effective. Under his will, every part of the possessed bodies was successfully amplified by Lightning Release chakra, just as set.
At this moment, the sense of security of returning to one's true self is mixed with a hint of excitement for the unknown.
He needs a short rest. Once he has recovered his strength, he will no longer rely on other people's bodies, but will instead practice the lightning-enhancing techniques he has gained through countless risks and knowledge on his own body for the first time.
Yuan Tuoye leaned against the quiet spot to rest, but his thoughts never stopped.
Recent events also came to mind, especially the situation at the orphanage and Zabuza Momochi's change of heart, which became the focus of his thoughts.
The dedication and care that Yakushi Nonou put into taking in and caring for orphans, as witnessed by him, proved that his obedience and emotional commitment were genuine.
All of this was exactly what Yuan Tuoye had expected; he knew Nonou's character all too well.
Even if a kind and gentle person from the bottom of her heart knows that Yuan Tuoye may have ulterior motives, she will not slacken her meticulous care for the children.
Those young lives, no matter their circumstances, were innocent in her eyes and deserved to be protected with everything she had.
This is Yakushi Nonou's creed, almost as if it were engraved in her bones.
Yuan Tuoye felt no unease or guilt whatsoever about this.
No matter how complicated his motives were in taking in these children, in the end, weren't those little lives that were originally struggling on the verge of death and could have withered away at any moment able to breathe and find shelter because of his helping hand?
Without his intervention, this orphanage might not have existed at all, and these children would more likely have frozen to death on the streets or died of illness in slums.
He gave these orphans the right and possibility to survive, so what's there to feel guilty about?
On the contrary, Zabuza Momochi's drastic change was somewhat beyond his expectations.
What started as just a trial has unexpectedly yielded results far exceeding expectations in a short period of time.
When he realized that the root of this change lay with Shiro, Gen Takuno instantly understood.
There seems to be a magical bond between these two, nurtured by time; as long as they are placed under the same sky, unexpected chemical reactions can be generated.
Yuan Tuoye's thoughts then turned to these two wounded souls.
Zabuza Momochi was once a ruthless tool dedicated to restoring the glory of Kirigakure. He devoted all his loyalty and power to the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, burning for the "right" goal in his heart.
However, reality dealt him a devastating blow. The Fourth Mizukage's policies changed drastically overnight, and his bloody suppression methods were even more brutal than those of the Third Mizukage, pushing the already blood-soaked village into an even more terrifying abyss.
With his faith crumbling in an instant, Zabuza Momochi, unable to bear it any longer, resolutely launched an assassination attempt, the outcome of which was inevitable.
From then on, Kirigakure lost its loyal ninja, and the world gained a rogue ninja who lost his homeland, his direction, and his dreams.
He became numb and adrift in the brutal trade of bounty hunters, his life devoid of meaning, leaving only an empty shell to wander the world.
Bai, too, once had a warm and ordinary little family.
A sudden nightmare easily shattered her happiness, and the Ice Release bloodline limit hidden within her body was exposed.
This talent did not bring glory; instead, it plunged her into hell in an instant, fueled by ignorance, fear, and violence.
Her mother was brutally killed by the villagers while trying to protect her. The immense grief and anger ignited her uncontrollable power, and her rampaging bloodline ice froze the entire village.
From that moment on, her world was plunged into boundless darkness. She became a monster utterly abandoned by the world, with no one looking at her directly and no light of the future in sight.
Survival itself became torture, until Yuan Tuoye reached out to help her, casting the first ray of warm sunshine into her frozen heart.
Because Haku had truly been immersed in that nightmare called despair, and the feeling of being rejected by the whole world was unforgettable, he was able to more accurately touch the equally cold and empty valley of Zabuza Momochi's soul.
This shared pain and mutual understanding became the bridge that connected them.
Therefore, when Bai took the initiative to approach that bewildered ghost, wanting to reach out and pull him out of his zombie state a little bit more, Yuan Tuoye could objectively understand this mutual appreciation.
Some wounds can only be truly felt by those who have experienced them, and only then can they understand how to reach out and try to heal them.
In addition, nothing major happened in Konoha.
Thanks to his mastery of advanced wood clone techniques over the past few days, he has resolved his biggest problem.
Each time he returned to Konoha, he would infuse his substitute wood clone with a sufficient amount of chakra.
This power was enough to sustain the lifelike activity of the Wood Clone for several days, completely eliminating the cumbersome process of having to rely on ordinary Shadow Clones in the early days, having to personally return to Konoha every night, and then replace them the next day.
Even if some unexpected events occur occasionally, the wood clone can have his crow summoning beast notify him so that he can go back to replenish his chakra in advance.
Therefore, the time dimension for replacing the clone has been subtly extended, which has made things much easier for him.
As his thoughts raced, Yuan Tuoye began to consider his next plan.
The foundation for the connection between Yakushi Nonou and the target orphanage has been initially laid.
It's time to throw out some carefully prepared bait to lure out that long-hidden fish, the Yakushi-bu.
The thought clearly surfaced in his mind, and he subconsciously raised his hand, pressing his knuckles against his slightly throbbing temples.
Although this matter can begin, there is still no need to rush it. After all, the top priority is the barrier that can isolate the disturbing natural energy.
"Once it succeeds, I'll begin to set up this scheme." Yuan Tuoye already had a plan in mind.
The research on this barrier has yielded remarkable results in recent days, thanks to the study of shadow clones.
For someone like him, who had already reached the pinnacle of the ninja world's sealing techniques, the basic barrier that isolated energy was not particularly difficult.
If it weren't for the unpredictable nature of natural energy itself, making it extremely difficult to capture and perceive, he would have been able to design a completely new barrier scheme on the very first day of his research.
Now, with the aid of the cursed seal and Jugo cells, even though his perception of natural energy is not clear, he is still making steady progress.
Today, the painstakingly constructed isolation barrier framework has been completed, and the entire research and development process has officially entered the crucial testing and verification phase!
Once its effectiveness is confirmed to be stable and reliable through several rigorous experiments, this barrier for studying the Sage Mode can be put into practical use.
A constant stream of ideas and scenarios for verification flashed through my mind, bringing with it a slight wave of fatigue.
As his consciousness gradually sank, Yuan Tuoye gave up resisting and allowed himself to be embraced by the gentle darkness.
No matter how extraordinary one's abilities may be, a good night's sleep is always the most original and effective nourishment for the essence of the spirit.
The light inside the laboratory had long been diluted by the twilight falling outside the window, leaving only the cold outlines of the instruments whispering in the dim light.
Time is like quicksand, slipping away silently without a sound.
Finally, Yuan Tuoye opened his eyes, which were full of energy. There was no sign of fatigue in his eyes; instead, they shone with a sharp, eagle-like light.
The accumulated efforts of the past few days have reached their test.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his posture, and the familiar, docile chakra within him began to flow according to his will.
"My own chakra is still the best." A sigh crossed Minamoto Takuno's mind. That sense of control was pure and direct, without any barriers or the need to divert his mind to suppress the material.
At first, his actions were somewhat cautious and tentative, fearing that he might encounter the same obstacles he had faced when possessing materials before.
However----
The unexpected did not happen. The occasional sluggishness that appeared in the unfamiliar body melted away like ice and snow in the face of his extraordinary control over chakra, which perfectly matched his mental barrier with his body.
Moreover, the strength and potential of this body, forged by his own hard work, far surpasses that of any "materials" temporarily used.
This feeling is like—a clear metaphor emerged in Yuan Tuoye's mind.
Previously, driving those frail vehicles was like trying to compete on a professional racetrack in a rickety, near-breakdown old car.
Even though he was exceptionally skilled, he managed to complete the entire course and pass by sheer willpower. Only he himself knew the effort and discomfort he experienced.
Now, back in his own ultimate vehicle, this blood-related body feels as if he's sitting in a top-of-the-line racing car tailored to his own needs!
Driving it forward now is more than just easy; it's like riding with your eyes closed and effortlessly achieving a perfect score!
