Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

Aoba frowned as she looked at the dust that had fallen to the ground.

This impure body is nearing its limit.

Besides the poor quality of the offerings, the initial version of the Impure World Reincarnation technique was also ineffective.

"No, let's change to a better offering first."

Aoba pondered.

To find a wandering ninja, they must at least be a genin, and a chunin is best, otherwise they simply cannot withstand too much hardship.

"No need, Aoba-kun."

Kato Dan seemed to see through his thoughts and gently shook his head.

"Killing is the destiny of ninjas, some for protection, some for revenge. Although the Impure World Reincarnation was created by the Second Hokage, disturbing the dead and controlling their spirits is inherently an ominous technique. That's why the First Hokage sealed it away and classified it as a forbidden technique. Although your intentions are good, I still hope you will use it sparingly. Killing enemies on the battlefield is simply a matter of different perspectives. A ninja's sword should be aimed at the enemy's vital points, giving them a swift end—this is not mercy, but reverence for life!"

His words were calm, yet they struck Qingye like a resounding bell.

Yes!

When did he develop the mentality of regarding the weak as worthless?

How is this any different from Orochimaru?

No wonder he's the man who could win Tsunade's heart; his inherent gentleness and kindness are truly admirable.

Through their communication in the mental space, the two became even closer.

The two became close friends despite their age difference, with a mentor-student relationship that was also a form of friendship.

"I see."

Aoba nodded, respecting Liaodan's choice.

Since that's the case, we can't keep summoning Senior Duan so frequently.

Fortunately, the key data has been collected, and the body has begun to adapt to the feeling of separation between mind and body.

The rest is up to the chip for simulation and individual practice.

In the days that followed, Aoba did not mention the matter of changing the offerings again.

He began to refine the techniques of spiritification.

Although the progress has slowed down due to the lack of continuous chakra guidance, all the necessary data has been collected, and the system can be used for deduction.

The data required for this illusory medium of spirits is enormous, and the chip's processing is constantly running at full power, which is even a bit overwhelming for Aoba's current chakra reserves.

He yawned frequently during the day while at work and often slacked off by secretly sleeping, which made Ms. Yumiko look at him with a strange expression.

This situation lasted for nearly half a month before Aoba's condition improved.

[The 121st simulation... a success.]

[Adjust parameters...re-simulate...]

A blue stream of data scrolled wildly across my retina.

After hundreds of simulations, the chip has optimized every variable in the entire process.

[Simulation complete, success rate: 81.3%]

Risk level: Low.

enough.

That evening, Aoba summoned Kato Dan again.

Without any unnecessary words, the two exchanged a glance and nodded to each other, forming a silent understanding.

Aoba raised her hands and began to form hand seals.

[Spiritualization Technique 2.0]

The original version had only one print, but after Aoba's improvements, the number increased to thirteen.

In Aoba's view, fewer hand seals are not necessarily better. Although the number of seals is reduced, it needs to be compensated for in other ways, such as increasing chakra consumption. This is a kind of "great effort for a miracle" to buy time for casting, so that the initiative can be quickly gained in battle.

However, not all techniques are suitable. In non-combat situations, the power of a technique can be better and more stably exerted by forming hand seals and coordinating chakra.

For example, right now.

Each of the green leaves formed an imprint extremely slowly and steadily.

The chakra within his body was boiling.

He could feel the chakra separating, the mental energy and physical energy being broken apart, and that familiar pulling sensation returned.

Previously, it was the senior's pulling that pulled, but this time it was spontaneous from the inside out.

At this moment, an alarm was triggered by the internal system.

[Managed mode activated.]

[Loading automatic defense mode, combat module loading...]

Loading complete.

A series of prompts popped up on the spirit's "retina".

With Aoba completing the licensing of the chip.

Finally, it seems that a certain critical point has been reached.

hum!

A strange feeling of weightlessness came over me.

He was "pushed" out.

It worked!

Aoba's vision shifted, and she found herself floating in mid-air.

He looked down at his hands.

It is translucent and has a faint, ethereal blue hue.

Is this the spirit state?

There is no gravity, no sense of touch, and you can't even feel the temperature.

Only pure consciousness is flowing.

It's like playing a 3D game from a God's-eye view, where you can go wherever you want, completely unrestrained by gravity.

"Is this... what freedom feels like?"

Aoba did a somersault in the air, adapting to this completely new form of existence.

He looked down and saw that his body was still standing in the same place, his eyes closed, motionless, maintaining the hand seal posture.

He himself was a translucent phantom emitting a faint fluorescent glow.

This feeling... is wonderful.

"We did it! Aoba-kun!"

Kato Dan looked at the Aoba spirit floating in mid-air, his face full of relief and amazement.

He had only ever heard of the Second Hokage possessing such talent as modifying ninjutsu.

Perhaps due to the unique nature of the Impure World Reincarnation form, he was able to directly see Aoba in her spirit form even while in the Impure World Reincarnation state.

Perhaps it is in this state between life and death that one can glimpse things that ordinary people cannot see.

However, the next second, he was stunned.

Logically, after the spiritification technique is used, the physical body should enter a state of suspended animation, completely defenseless.

This is also the biggest weakness of the Spirit Transformation Technique.

Aoba's spirit has clearly emerged, but his physical body remains standing in the same spot.

Kato Dan suddenly made a move, slashing a hand chop at Aoba's neck.

However, he didn't use much force in this attack; it was just a test.

However, just as he made his move, "Aoba," who had been standing still, also moved.

His right palm suddenly glowed with blue light, and even before he could strike, he severed the broken arm first.

Fragments of the impure body drifted in the air, accompanied by a faint buzzing sound—the sound of a chakra scalpel.

"How is this possible?!"

Kato was deeply shocked, his face filled with incomprehensible horror.

The soul has left the body, yet the body can still move on its own?!

This completely overturned his understanding of spiritual techniques, and even his established common sense!

In the instant he was stunned, the body of "Blue Leaf" did not stop; the sand turned into sharp spikes and rushed straight at his face.

He instinctively stepped back, creating distance, and the severed arm quickly reassembled and reformed under the power of the Impure World Reincarnation, returning to its original state.

"It really works!"

The Azure Leaf Spirit, floating in mid-air, watched this scene with a silent smile spreading across its lips.

It became.

The chip's automatic counterattack mode perfectly solves the biggest weakness of the Spirit Transformation Technique.

The next moment, his spirit transformed into a stream of light and instantly disappeared into the back of his head.

The feeling of reconnecting with the body is like putting on clothes again.

The sand that had been attacking suddenly stopped.

"Why can your body still move on its own?"
