Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 101 The Value of Kakashi

Meeting Jiraiya was just an ordinary interlude.

The following day, Genma, Shizune, and Aoba Yamashiro saw their teacher, Sakumo Hatake, off from the village to the battlefield.

Kakashi was there too; he had just finished his mission and returned to the village yesterday.

Many people came to see them off; the streets were lined with friends and family of the ninjas who were going to battle.

Xuanma watched quietly. This time, a hundred people were sent to reinforce the front line, but he didn't know how many of them would return unharmed after the war ended.

Only after watching their teacher, Hatake Sakumo, leave the village and disappear into the distance did everyone turn their attention away.

Let's go~

The four turned around and walked back.

"Kakashi, how's your Flying Thunder God technique coming along?"

As they walked, Xuanma asked questions.

He hadn't seen Kakashi for quite a while.

Shizune and Aoba Yamashiro both perked up their ears. Flying Thunder God Technique! They didn't know about it before, but now they did. It's an S-rank space-time teleportation technique, currently only mastered by Konoha's Yellow Flash, Minato Namikaze.

Even the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was known as the professor of ninjutsu, was defeated and killed.

"I haven't even gotten started yet; there are too many prerequisites for this skill."

Kakashi's tone carried a hint of helplessness.

Summoning techniques are easy to master, but the sensory ninjutsu taught by his teacher, Minato Namikaze, is not simple at all.

Moreover, he not only had to learn these, but he also kept practicing the Thunder Escape Instantaneous Body Technique taught by Yu Feng Xuan Ma, because it was very important for mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique.

According to his teacher Minato Namikaze, his reaction speed was not good enough, and he needed to activate his nerve cells with Lightning Release in order to use the Flying Thunder God Technique flexibly.

Otherwise, the power of this technique will be greatly reduced.

Fortunately, he has now mastered sensory ninjutsu as well.

Hearing Kakashi's progress, Genma teased, "Kakashi, you're a bit slow!"

"I've started learning this ninjutsu too, and I might master it faster than you. You'd better keep at it!"

Kakashi couldn't help but roll his eyes: "I don't have as much chakra as you!"

Yamashiro Aoba couldn't help but exclaim, "Using shadow clones to cultivate? Genma, that's too much of a cheat!"

Xuanma couldn't help but laugh: "That's why I'm telling you to eat more and exercise more."

Yamashiro Aoba was slightly exasperated: "This isn't something that can be solved simply by eating more and exercising more, is it?"

Who could generate so much chakra through training?!

It's practically a humanoid tailed beast.

Seeing Kakashi and Aoba's expressions, Shizune couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle.

Genma stroked his chin thoughtfully: "It can't be said that training is useless."

"With a balanced diet, training, and moderate chakra refinement, without overexertion, you can still raise your potential."

Nutrition and exercise are certainly helpful, but not that helpful.

At least, ordinary nutrition and training cannot make an ordinary ninja's chakra level reach that of a tailed beast, even the beautiful one-tailed beast.

It's genetically determined.

Or rather, bloodline.

Just look at Fennel; his training level is nowhere near that of Kakashi or the likes, not even as good as Shizune's.

But her chakra reserves—anyway, Tsunade would be ashamed to admit she has the Senju bloodline.

Returning to his own past, Genma remembered that his chakra reserves were actually less than Kakashi's back then.

It wasn't until he developed the Wood Release Chakra Mode to continuously alter his physique that his chakra reserves gradually increased.

Furthermore, its physical condition has been continuously improving, and it is already close to having the power of the Two-Tails.

If this continues, once Wood Release is fully formed, its chakra limit may exceed the power of the Two-Tails.

Does bloodline limit help improve physical fitness?

Xuanma is not entirely sure.

After all, his Wood Release origin cannot be considered a bloodline limit, nor is it a fusion of chakra nature transformations.

"It still needs to be demonstrated, both from the perspective of principles and from the perspective of real-world cases."

Genma glanced at Kakashi and the others.

Kakashi is too busy right now; it's not suitable for him.

"By the way, Shizune and Aoba, have you ever thought about developing your bloodline limit?"

Xuanma asked.

"The limit of blood inheritance?"

Both Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba were taken aback. Was the topic being changed too quickly?

Although we discussed the issue of bloodline limits last time, that was only because we happened to encounter a bloodline limit ninja.

But if you develop it yourself—

Yamashiro Aoba scratched her head: "This is way too difficult, isn't it?"

"This is a fusion of two nature transformations. Even now, it might be difficult to achieve this using a combination ninjutsu with two nature transformations, right?"

Despite saying that, Aoba Yamashiro's mind started working.

He has indeed mastered two nature transformations: Fire Release and Yin Release.

But Yin Release and Fire Release—how can they be combined into a Bloodline Limit?

Shizune replied awkwardly, "I only mastered the Yang Release nature transformation."

Xuanma couldn't help but scratch his head after hearing this.

Kakashi asked, "Why did you suddenly think of developing a bloodline limit?"

Xuanma said, "It is indeed difficult for you to increase your physical strength to my level through balanced nutrition and exercise alone."

"But bloodline limits might be able to, and even if they can't compare, they might be able to significantly improve."

Shizune asked in surprise, "Genma, is your stamina increasing so quickly because of Wood Release?"

Xuanma nodded: "That's one reason."

"Theoretically speaking, the completion of a bloodline limit means the emergence of new property changes, which can lead to changes in genes."

"You can think of it this way: a person is originally born with only the attributes of water and earth, but after he combines the two nature transformations to obtain the Wood Release bloodline limit, then his genes actually contain the three nature transformations of water, earth, and wood. His offspring will inherit any one or more of these three attributes."

"This is the origin of bloodline limits through bloodline inheritance."

Yamashiro Aoba said thoughtfully, "So for non-bloodline limit ninjas, developing a bloodline limit means there's an incremental increase?"

Genma nodded: "That's right. The human body affects the properties of chakra, and chakra can also affect the human body, which may lead to an improvement in physical fitness."

"The reason I'm unsure is because my Wood Release technique is a bit special, and there's no way to verify this theoretical speculation."

Kakashi asked, "Are all ninjas with bloodline limits relatively large amounts of chakra?"

Upon hearing this, a name suddenly popped into Xuanma's mind.

Uchiha Itachi!

This guy's energy rating is only 5, even worse than Kakashi's kidney deficiency.

Of course, the Uchiha clan has mental abnormalities, and according to the barrel theory, the weakest link is the one that determines the upper limit.

"The existing bloodline limit ninjas are clearly not like that."

Genma answered, but then changed his tone: "But it's not necessarily the case for those who have newly developed their bloodline limits."

Kakashi said, "Why don't you give it a try? Among the group of us, you have the most talent and experience."

"If it can really improve physical fitness, it is definitely worth the time to develop it."

Shizune nodded repeatedly: "Kakashi is right."

Yamashiro Aoba patted Yufeng Xuanma on the shoulder: "Only you can complete this mission, please!"

Xuanma was speechless. "You guys are supposed to work hard, so how did it become me working hard?"

Do I need to work harder even though I'm already cheating?

After passing through the bustling city center, Xuanma and his companions arrived at a training ground.

"Kakashi, come on, let me see just how good your Lightning Release: Body Flicker Technique is."

Xuanma stood in the center of the training ground and said.

Kakashi's expression was very serious: "Use Lightning Release in the fight?"

"Or is it just a contest of teleportation skills?"

Genma thought for a moment and said, "Let's use Lightning Release in this battle. Show your skills!"

"Then be careful!"

As Kakashi spoke, he formed hand seals, and then lightning crackled across his hands.

With a hissing sound as his hands rubbed against the air, Kakashi raised his hands and swung them forward. Lightning shot out from his hands, condensing into the shape of a wolf, which roared out from the left and right.

Xuanma's eyes lit up.

He knew this move; it was called "Thunder Tiger Killer."

The lightning's speed, combined with its flanking maneuvers, makes it difficult for enemies to completely dodge.

Even if they dodge it, they will focus on the Thunder Tiger Slaughter attack and ignore Kakashi, the caster.

Clearly, Kakashi did not stop developing his lightning release techniques after Chidori.

Moreover, he did not develop techniques like the Thousand Birds Spear, but instead embarked on a path preordained by fate.

"As expected of Kakashi!"

Xuanma was not disappointed. Seeing that two thunder wolves were about to attack from the left and right, he formed two hand seals and then put his hands together.

Lightning Release: Thunderstorm!

Two bolts of lightning, one from the left and one from the right, exploded from the sky, just like lightning striking down from the sky during a thunderstorm, precisely hitting the two charging thunder wolves and scattering them.

From the perspectives of the two bystanders, Shizune and Aoba Yamashiro, they first saw two thick bolts of lightning shatter the Thunder Wolf, and then heard a deafening sound.

"So fast!"

Yamashiro Aoba exclaimed in surprise.

"I don't think I've seen this technique before. Is it newly developed?" said Jingyin.

Yamashiro Aoba touched his arm, which was covered in goosebumps: "I'm afraid so."

Kakashi's gaze sharpened as he watched this move; clearly, he wasn't the only one who had improved in Lightning Release.

"Xuanma, what's the name of this move?"

Kakashi asked.

Xuanma smiled and said, "Thunderstorm is not completely finished yet; it's just a prototype."

"The principle is actually very simple: it simulates the phenomenon of lightning during thunderstorms."

"By using Lightning Release chakra, a powerful potential difference is created between the ground and the air. This electric field ionizes air molecules, creating pathways."

"Afterwards, a large number of electrons formed from the lightning chakra in the air will pour down to the ground along this path at extremely high speed and with very high energy."

Kakashi listened thoughtfully.

Yamashiro Aoba couldn't help but retort, "It's explained so easily, but it's anything but simple!"

Jingyin covered her mouth and smiled; she hadn't fully understood either.

After Kakashi understood the principles of the Wind-Riding Black Horse Lightning Release ninjutsu, he said, "My technique is called Lightning Tiger Unlimited Kill—"

Before he could finish speaking, Yamashiro Aoba couldn't help but ask, "Wait, Kakashi, that was clearly a wolf form just now, wasn't it?"

Kakashi said calmly, "Thunder Tiger sounds more imposing."

Yamashiro Aoba's lips twitched: "Very—very reasonable!"

Xuanma couldn't help but laugh, then said, "The name isn't important, but the technique is quite good."

"Kakashi, is there any new technique?"

Kakashi sighed, "Hey, it's already quite an achievement to develop a new technique."

Not everyone is as perverted as you!

Kakashi thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

"Let's see how fast they go!"

Genma also realized he had gone a bit too far, so he immediately entered Lightning Release Chakra Mode and flashed straight toward Kakashi.

"It's definitely much faster than before!"

Kakashi's pupils contracted, lightning crackled around his body, and he moved.

Yamashiro Aoba and Shizune watched intently as two streaks of lightning chased each other rapidly within the arena.

"That's an amazing speed."

Yamashiro Aoba was surprised.

He knew that the Wind-Riding Black Horse was fast, but he didn't expect Kakashi to be so fast as well.

Against such an enemy, he has absolutely no chance of winning.

Suddenly, the two people in the arena stopped.

Kakashi, breathing heavily, said, "It seems the gap between us has widened even further!"

Genma shook his head: "The reason the difference looks so big is because my chakra reserves are much larger than yours, which allows for stronger cell activation."

"In terms of lightning release nature transformation, the difference between you and me is not that great."

9

This is not a word of comfort.

In terms of speed, Kakashi is only one-third the speed of Kakashi at his peak Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

However, the difference in the nature of lightning release should be two-thirds.

But Genma knew very well that his lightning release was so strong because he was cheating.

Kakashi, on the other hand, trained on his own.

The value of genius is as high as a five-story building.

"Kakashi, do you have any further plans to develop Lightning Release?"

Xuanma asked.

Kakashi shook his head: "Right now, most of my energy is focused on the Flying Thunder God Technique and cell activation, so I'm afraid I don't have the energy to develop new techniques for the time being."

"Moreover, the combination of Chidori and Raikou is sufficient for the time being."

"7

One is a melee fighter, the other is a mid-to-long-range fighter.

"Time can be found if you make time."

The four of them walked under a tree to avoid the sun. Genma plopped down on the ground and said, "I have a brilliant idea. Kakashi, you can give it a try."

Yamashiro Aoba said, "An idea that you call brilliant must be extremely difficult to implement, right?"

Xuanma shrugged: "I haven't studied it in depth yet."

"You should have heard of the Hozuki clan's water transformation technique."

"My idea is to electrify my body with lightning. If I can do that, my movement speed will reach an extremely terrifying level, a level that I can't even dream of achieving now."

Xuanma peddled his theory of "mutual conversion of matter and energy" to the three of them.

Kakashi and the other two fell into deep thought after hearing this.

After a moment, Yamashiro Aoba said, "It sounds reasonable, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it."

Shizune nodded in agreement: "This is perhaps why the Hozuki clan's water transformation technique has not been broken so far."

Kakashi pondered for a long time, and after Shizune finished speaking, he said after a while, "The mutual conversion of matter and energy sounds too profound and complicated."

"I think it might be easier to understand if we explore it simply from the perspective of changes in form and properties."

Genma raised an eyebrow and asked with great interest, "Kakashi, what do you mean?"

Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba immediately focused their attention.

Although they don't practice Lightning Release, their ideas for developing techniques can be learned and referenced.

Kakashi pondered, "According to your previous explanation of nature transformation, Genma, turning the body into lightning can actually be understood as giving the physical body the nature of lightning through lightning release nature transformation."

"Or rather, we're transforming our physical bodies into lightning-based entities!"

Xuanban's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

As expected of Kakashi!

This sounds a bit absurd, but in reality, both Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba understood it.

This is because it is clearly based on the theory of property change that Pin Fengxuan previously mentioned.

That is, the understanding method based on matter.

For example, water escape involves investigating wells and simulating certain properties of water, or even liquid substances.

Kakashi's current idea stems from this: not to think about profound things like the transformation of vast energy matter.

The Lightning Release nature transformation of Chai-ra was directly transferred to the Lightning Release nature transformation of the physical body.

This makes it easier to understand.
