Chapter 129 Bloodline Limit and Secret Ninjutsu! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)

After the meal, inside the dean's room.

Xingxia Xiu stood in the courtyard with her hands clasped together and her eyes lowered.

Within his body, the Fire Release and Earth Release chakra nature transformations were occurring simultaneously, colliding and merging with each other.

This is different from combination ninjutsu, which enhances each other and increases the power of the ninjutsu. Bloodline limit, on the other hand, is a new nature change formed by two nature changes, and the difficulty is on a completely different level.

So even with the Four-Tails' Lava Release as a reference, Hoshino Shuichi has been working hard all this time.

Of course, his energy is not limited to this one project.

Time passed by unnoticed, and Yakushi Nonou and Asuka, who had gone out, returned, but neither of them disturbed Hoshino Shuichi.

But just as she was crossing the courtyard, Asuka exclaimed and turned to look at Hoshino Shuichi.

"What's wrong?"

Yakushi Nonou quickly asked.

Asuka exclaimed excitedly, "Shuichi has gained a new power within him!"

Yakushi Nonou immediately understood: "Molten Release?"

Just then, the power of lava appeared on Hoshino Hideichi's body and quickly covered his entire body.

Lava Release Chakra Mode, Lava Armor!

"Finally finished!"

Hoshino Shuichi lowered his hands and smiled.

This is also based on the Four-Tails' Lava Release technique; otherwise, the difficulty of synthesizing a bloodline limit would increase dramatically, making it even more difficult than developing an S-rank forbidden technique.

"As expected, bloodline limits are different from ordinary chakra nature transformations."

"With Lava Release Chakra Mode, I don't need to rely on Yin Seal or Hundred Healings Technique at all. Although my current chakra reserves are greatly increased, it's a fact that the power of my bloodline limit is easier to control."

Hoshino Shizuka silently observed.

He could feel his physique being affected by the power of Lava Release.

This feeling was something I had never experienced before when I mastered the nature transformations of Yang Release, Yin Release, and Lightning Release.

Perhaps it's due to differences in strength, or perhaps there's another secret.

"This power subtly permeates the cells and is etched into the genes."

Hoshita Shuichi pondered: "Actually, from a genetic point of view, there is no difference between bloodline limits and ordinary chakra attributes. I was born with Wind Release and Fire Release, which I inherited from my father and mother respectively. Later, I mastered several other nature transformations, so theoretically, my descendants can inherit these attributes."

"It could be one of them, or several, or even all of them."

"And Lava Release is a new property change that I have fused together, so this property change may also be inherited by my offspring."

Whether it's a regular change in nature or a bloodline limit, it's only possible to pass it on to offspring.

This is because genetic information can be lost, and gene expression can also vary.

"The Sharingan of the Uchiha clan can only be awakened when stimulated, which is the expression of genes in a specific reactive manner."

"Some Uchiha clan members cannot awaken their Sharingan even when stimulated, because their genetic information is lost during the inheritance process."

Hideichi Hoshino believes that she must prepare for pregnancy in the future so that she can pass on her excellent genes in the best possible condition.

He collected his thoughts and dispelled the Lava Release armor, but the Lava Release nature transformation chakra still flowed within his body, spreading to every cell through the Hundred Healings Technique.

However, this method is intended to accelerate the changes in one's physical constitution, allowing the body to adapt to the newly emerging power of Lava Release more quickly, so as to further master the power of Lava Release.

The reason why he was able to use Lava Release Chakra Mode Lava Armor so quickly was because Hoshino Shuichi was already very familiar with Lava Release.

This is similar to a ninja who is not born with the Wind Release attribute but learns Wind Release nature transformation through training. However, it still takes a step-by-step process to master it and use it freely.

……

"Shuichi, you're amazing!"

Seeing that Hoshino Shuichi had finished his training, Asuka and Yakushi Nonou quickly stepped forward.

Hoshino Hideichi turned around, showing absolutely no humility: "Of course!"

Yakushi Nonou didn't say anything, just smiled gently, but she was also very happy inside.

The stronger Hoshino Shuichi becomes, the more stable this family will be.

At this moment, Asuka asked, "Shuichi, wasn't it said that bloodline limits cannot be learned and can only be inherited through bloodline?"

Hoshino Hideichi laughed upon hearing this, saying, "That statement isn't entirely wrong."

"Before I synthesized the Lava Release nature transformation, I was unable to learn any Lava Release techniques."

Asuka blinked, "Eh, is that how you understand it?"

Hoshino Hideaki smiled and asked, "Can we humans learn to fly like birds?"

Asuka shook her head.

Xingxia Xiu said, "But if you have wings like a bird, then you can learn to fly."

Asuka seemed to be deep in thought, while Yakushi Nonou laughed and said, "It's like medical ninjutsu. You can't learn medical ninjutsu before you've learned Yang Release: Nature Transformation."

"The Lava Release ninjutsu cannot be learned without the Lava Release nature."

"Of course, bloodline limits cannot usually be obtained through learning, because bloodline limits are often synthesized from two property changes to form a new property change."

"It is already very difficult for a person to use two nature transformations to combine into a ninjutsu at the same time, let alone synthesize a new nature transformation. It is extremely rare to be able to do so."

Shuichi Hoshino strongly agreed.

Just like the Sharingan's ability to copy, why can't it copy bloodline limits and secret techniques, that is, secret ninjutsu?

Without the nature transformation of a bloodline limit, how can you use the corresponding ninjutsu?

Bloodline limits are rarely formed by hand seals, making them even more difficult to replicate.

There are also secret ninjutsu, such as those of the Inuzuka clan. Putting everything else aside, you'd first need a ninja dog, right?

There's also the secret technique of the Aburame clan; there aren't even any insects, so what are you copying?

Even setting aside bloodline limits and secret ninjutsu, the Sharingan cannot simply copy regular ninjutsu.

Similarly, without the corresponding change in nature, even if the hand seals and the flow of chakra are copied, it cannot be used.

Otherwise, with so many Sharingan users in the Uchiha clan, how could Kakashi have single-handedly earned the title of Konoha's Copy Ninja?

There's only one reason: Kakashi has mastered too many Nature Transformations, so he can just copy them and use them.

In addition, there is also the factor of human intelligence.

Discussing whether something can be learned without considering the learning threshold or intelligence is clearly unreasonable and unethical.

The three entered the house, and Asuka said with a smile, "Shuichi, if that's the case, then you should be able to learn my Adamantine Lockdown Technique too?"

"After all, you're proficient in sealing techniques and have mastered Yin Release!"

Hoshino Shuichi thought carefully for a moment and said cautiously, "If there's a principle behind it, and I'm smart enough, it shouldn't be a problem."

In terms of difficulty, the Kong Lockdown is only A-level!

Of course, even A-rank is very difficult, exceeding the level of Jonin.

However, the principles behind secret ninjutsu, especially those involving bloodline and physique, may be unclear even to the user.

For example, Asuka herself.

Her Vajra Lock was triggered and erupted spontaneously.

So when the principle was mentioned, Asuka suddenly felt a little embarrassed and quickly said, "I'll ask Kushina about that tomorrow; she should know it!"

Yakushi Nonou hesitated for a moment and said, "Wouldn't this be too offensive? After all, this is a clan's secret ninjutsu."

Asuka, however, said indifferently, "The Land of Whirlpools and Whirlpool Village have been destroyed. Now, only Kushina and I remain of the Uzumaki clan. Perhaps there are still clan members in other places, but they can no longer be considered a clan. There's no point in keeping these things to ourselves."

Asuka laughed again, "Besides, Shuichi is my family, and Kushina even taught him forbidden techniques like the Reaper Death Seal. She's Shuichi's teacher's wife, so she won't mind."

Pharmacist Nonou smiled and nodded, "Then let's give it a try!"

Unlike Asuka, Hoshino Shuichi was not as optimistic, but he was also somewhat hopeful.

He doesn't necessarily need to learn the Vajra Sealing Technique, but he can use this sealing technique to enhance his knowledge base and lay the foundation for creating his own sealing technique.

……

After chatting for a while, the three of them washed up one after another, and before they knew it, it was 10 p.m.

After going to bed on time, Hoshino Shizuka's spirit manifested under the lexicon tree.

Just as the Lava Release Kekkei Genkai was completed, a new attribute was triggered.

Xingxia Xiuyi looked at the new entry leaf.

Entry: [Bloodline Expert]

Acquisition Requirements: Master at least 5 different bloodline powers.

Effects: Physical fitness increased by 100%, mental strength increased by 100%, physical compatibility increased by 100%, chakra nature transformation talent increased by 100%. Nature transformation fusion is no longer a secret to you. The only things that can stop you from going further are your body, your spirit, and your wisdom.

Judging from the effect of the entry alone, it is obviously different from the previous expert entries.

This is at least an entry on the same level as "Professor of Ninjutsu".

However, if it weren't for the powerful attribute "Transformation Master," Hoshino Shuichi would have felt his scalp tingle with fear regarding the five bloodline powers.

"The One-Tailed Magnet Release, the Four-Tailed Lava Release, the Five-Tailed Boil Release... the special abilities of the other tailed beasts remain to be investigated."

After dispersing his spiritual body, Hoshinoichi quickly fell into a deep sleep.

The following day, before heading to the experimental base, Hoshino Shuichi used the Flying Thunder God Technique to travel from Konoha Village into the Land of Wind, then left a shadow clone before returning to the village.

Meanwhile, shadow clones began appearing in the Land of Wind as various birds, monitoring the progress of the war between the Sand Ninja and the Rock Ninja, and incidentally collecting corpses to serve as mortuary teachers if the opportunity arose.

If there were ninjas with bloodline limits, that would be even better.

Secondly, the One-Tailed Beast of the Sand Village was also among Hoshinobi Shuichi's targets.

……

When Hoshino Shuichi returned home that evening, he noticed that Asuka seemed rather sullen and hadn't even noticed his return.

A thought flashed through his mind, and Hoshino Hideichi guessed what it was about. He sat down to the side and asked gently, "Is it that even Master's wife couldn't explain the principles of the Vajra Sealing Technique in detail?"

Asuka nodded, her mood somewhat downcast, and said, "Kushina was guided and mastered by Lady Mito when she was using the Adamantine Sealing Technique, so she couldn't explain it clearly."

Hoshita Shuichi put his arm around Asuka's shoulders and laughed, "That's normal. Even before the Land of Whirlpools was destroyed, not everyone could master this sealing technique."

"Furthermore, not everyone in the Uchiha clan can awaken the Sharingan, and they have no way of describing the principles behind it."

"I can't tell you how to combine the two nature changes to obtain Lava Escape, because there's no issue of proportion involved."

"I was also able to directly sense the power of the Four-Tails' Lava Release, and through trial and error, I synthesized it based on my intuition."

Some things are so mysterious and profound that they cannot be expressed in words.

Seeing that Hoshino Shuichi was not disappointed, Asuka felt a little better, but she still couldn't help feeling down.

After arriving in Konoha, her personality became much more cheerful, but due to her childhood experiences in Kusagakure, she was still gentle and cared a lot about the feelings of others, especially those close to her.

Or rather, it is urgently needed.

So, after careful consideration, Xingxia Xiu said, "Actually, there's another way!"

Asuka immediately perked up upon hearing this: "What?"

Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "Of course, it's the world of the mind!"

"Don't forget, chakra can connect to a person's mind, and in the mental world, information can also be exchanged through chakra."

Even after Obito Uchiha died, he still lent his Sharingan to Kakashi. In the mental world formed by the connection of chakra, Kakashi should be able to more directly experience the Adamantine Sealing Technique, and even Kagura's Mind's Eye.

However, with the Listening Technique, Kagura's Mind's Eye didn't need to waste time.

Remembering how Hoshino Shuichi had helped her awaken Kagura's Mind's Eye and the Vajra Sealing Technique in the Mind World, Asuka's eyes immediately lit up, and she eagerly said, "Shuichi, let's give it a try!"

Hoshita Shuichi said helplessly, "Let's try it after dinner!"

Upon hearing this, Asuka quickly stood up: "Then let's hurry up and make dinner, so we can eat when Nono-neechan comes back."

Hoshino Hideichi chuckled, got up, and followed him into the kitchen.

After dinner around 7 p.m., Asuka couldn't wait to pull Hoshino Shuichi into the study.

Pharmacist Nonou couldn't help but smile, and then went out to Konoha Hospital.

Similar to her work at the orphanage, she worked diligently, sending most of her earnings to the orphanage in this way to continue caring for them.

……

study.

Hoshino Shuichi and Asuka sat facing each other, their right hands clasped together, their chakra connected, and their consciousnesses linked together, constructing a mental world.

"Shuichi, what should I do?"

Within the realm of the mind, Asuka asked a question.

Xingxia Xiu said, "Loosen your guard and leave the rest to me."

Asuka nodded emphatically: "Yes!"

"Okay, do as I say."

"Unleash the Adamantine Sealing Chains!"

Shuichi Hoshita gradually guides Asuka.

Asuka nodded, and with a clattering sound of chains moving, golden chains emerged from her back.

"very good!"

Hoshita Shuichi continued, "Next, my power will invade your chakra. Don't resist..."

As he spoke, his chakra had gradually seeped into Asuka's power.

With a whoosh, the Vajra chains danced, and then a layer of blue flames began to appear on them.

But this was only the beginning of the fusion of Hoshino Shuichi and Asuka's powers.

The power seeped in layer by layer, and Hoshino Shuichi peeled away the outer layer of the Vajra Seal to glimpse its secrets—something he could only do when Asuka was off guard.

This state is almost equivalent to Hoshino Shuichi reading the information hidden in Asuka's chakra and brain, even though it is only information belonging to the Adamantine Sealing Barrier.

This is actually similar to how Hoshino Shuichi used the Four-Tails' chakra to study Lava Release.

The difference is that the Four-Tails' chakra is completely controlled by Hoshino Shuichi, while Asuka's power is not; she simply lets him feel and study it without being on guard.

However, once this step is achieved, the next step becomes possible.
