My ninjutsu is not right

Chapter 284 Why is it so painful for me to become stronger?

Another day, in the main world, in Konoha Village, at the seventh training ground.

"Ha~ah" Hashirama No. 1 sat cross-legged on the stone, bored.

Sasuke stood quietly beside him waiting, and the young Sandaime couple and the Fourth Hokage couple who came over to join in the fun were staring at Link and Bubble standing in the middle.

【Finally out】

Link mechanically performed the Substitution Technique again, and just as he was about to cancel it, he realized that it was what he wanted, and he was overjoyed.

[Very good, Pearl Jam, it's you! ]

"I'm going to start the experiment." He spoke to remind his bodyguards.

As a stand with absolutely no combat power, Pearl Jam is naturally the most suitable subject to be used as a stand and experiment with the tailed beast's chakra.

So what if it becomes permanent?

"Is it coming?" Hashirama No. 1 perked up a little, clasped his hands together, and entered the Sage Mode.

"Hmm, so many strange things. So that's how your technique is..." He looked thoughtful.

Sasuke also opened his Mangekyō Sharingan.

Link carefully took out a small piece of the remaining tailed beast chakra cube scraps, controlled Pearl Jam to fly over and began to nibble on it.

In the eyes of others, the physical chakra blocks in his palms kept disappearing out of thin air, looking as if they were bitten off by something invisible.

Bubble's muscles tensed up as he entered Tailed Beast Mode, ready to take away Link, who claimed that his experiment was 'extremely dangerous'.

Soon, all the scraps were eaten up.

[It seems like nothing happened? ]

Link was wondering when he suddenly felt a swelling in his head. He covered his throbbing temple and a strong feeling of discomfort surged through his whole body.

"what happened to you?"

"Link?"

"Om~"

A concerned voice sounded, but was soon replaced by a buzzing sound in his eardrums. He felt that the air he exhaled was hot, his skin turned red, and he looked like he was cooked, but the changes in his body were not over yet.

A large amount of unfamiliar chakra flowed down from familiar positions - the first open gate and the second closed gate of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu, and quickly spread throughout the body along the meridian system.

The clone and transformation techniques that were being maintained were forcibly cancelled.

He was a little panicked at first, but soon calmed down, put one hand on his body, and released the technique of extracting fine chakras. He felt a little better, but still felt very uncomfortable. Those chakras quickly occupied his whole body, constantly decomposing and transforming into his chakra, and then becoming his physical and mental strength.

The swelling was getting stronger and stronger, and he had the illusion that he was going to burst apart by the sudden surge of chakra, but his well-tempered body told him that there would be no problem.

One after another, the technique of extracting pain was released to relieve the physical discomfort and maintain mental clarity.

"Bang!" He fell to his knees on the ground, with wisps of white steam rising.

"Don't move." Sasuke called out to Bubble, who was about to go forward to treat him, and frowned, "Link's body is now full of Vulpix's chakra, just like a Jinchūriki."

"There's no point in sending your chakra into his body. Use water jutsu to cool him down."

Bubble was worried and confused. After careful perception, he found that what Sasuke said was true. He opened his mouth and spit out a stream of water to wrap Link.

"Swish~" The entangled water was scalded into steam. Hashirama No. 1 walked over in Sage Mode, closed his eyes and sensed the Pearl Jam floating around Link, and said in a surprised tone: "Using pure spiritual power to create something similar to a shadow clone, this technique..."

He found it difficult to find an accurate word to describe how interesting this technique was.

Pure spiritual power cannot interfere with reality.

Suppressing aura such as murderous intent is the limit of what spiritual power can do. If one wants to interfere with reality, it must be transformed into chakra.

The chakra created by pure spiritual power will become "greedy chakra" that craves physical energy due to lack of physical energy. Its stability will become very poor and it will be difficult for ordinary people to control it, let alone use it to release ninjutsu.

That's why Impure World Reincarnation requires a container.

Without a container, it is unknown how much strength he can exert even in his pure soul state.

It just so happens that Link's mental power seems to have some kind of strange stability. Under the influence of the technique, the mental power is condensed into a certain image, affecting reality with illusion. This technique is incredible.

Since it is a semi-virtual illusion, even if it can affect reality, it is only a spiritual power. The things that are eaten will of course enter the body of the original entity.

"He should be fine." Hashirama No. 1 gathered his thoughts and said, "He has eaten the flesh of the tailed beast. It would be troublesome if there were no strange little things as a buffer."

"It'll be fine now, and maybe there will be some benefits."

This process is very similar to what Uzumaki Naruto did before. He used the Eight Trigrams Seal to convert the Nine-Tails' chakra into his own chakra. Link's was a little more rough. He purely used invisible spiritual power to filter out the will of the tailed beasts from the power of the tailed beasts and forcibly absorbed it.

As long as you can endure it, your chakra and physical strength will slowly increase.

After hearing the judgment given by the First Hokage, everyone who gathered around to show concern felt relieved.

The bubbles maintained the release of artificial water, continuously cooling Link down, while Sasuke beside him kept an eye on the condition of the chakra in Link's body.

The young Minato Namikaze and his wife nearby were ready to step forward and help seal the chakra.

After a long while, the abnormalities in Link's body slowly returned to normal. He began to breathe heavily, sweat seeped through his clothes, and his muscles cramped involuntarily.

There was still some pain, but he was used to it and it was no big deal.

[I should have known this long ago. The Stand is an image condensed from the original body’s spiritual power…]

Link stood up, feeling full of energy and a bit excited, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

The experiment of materializing the stand was a complete failure.

Number One Hashirama was observing and speculating, he had experienced it personally and was now very clear about the nature of the Stand.

The art of substitution is to condense his mental power into an image and project it, giving the mental power certain abilities. There is no need to think about the possibility of obtaining a permanent substitute.

Can he still make his spirit independent?

What's the difference between a body without spirit and a dead person? Even if he could do it, he wouldn't try it.

Without a permanent and independent substitute, randomness cannot be solved, and continuous draws are still needed.

The good news is that as an image that can interfere with reality, the stand will swallow the real chakra and transport it into the body, where it will be filtered and decomposed into his chakra and physical strength.

As long as he could endure the pain, he would master a method of growth that was different from taking drugs, which was taking materialized chakra.

[Why is it so painful for me to become stronger?]

Link complained rather speechlessly.
