Naruto: My setting is above yours.

It turned out to be the case.

Jiraiya suddenly realized, "Then it's alright."

He then asked, "Um, how did the Second Hokage teach you the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"Currently, only Minato in the village knows this technique, right?"

Genma chuckled and explained, "It's because I improved the Summoning Technique and summoned the Second Hokage from the Pure Land."

Jiraiya's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Are you kidding me?

Suddenly, he understood why this kid and Tsunade had such a good relationship.

Could this brat have summoned Rope Tree and Broken Guy as well?

No wonder Tsunade said this kid is even more talented than Minato!

Minato also said he felt inferior before, which I originally thought was just modesty.

Patting Genma on the shoulder, Jiraiya couldn't help but exclaim, "Finally, the village has produced a genius who can be compared to me, the toad sage of Mount Myōboku!"

Xuanma couldn't help but grit his teeth secretly upon hearing this.

Goodness, he's even better at pretending than me.

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 learning of the Flying Thunder God Technique going?"

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 scratched the surface yet; there are too many prerequisites for this technique."

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 say, "Using shadow clones to cultivate? Genma, you're cheating too much!"

Genma 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 can generate that 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 exercise is useless."

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

Nutrition and exercise are certainly helpful, but not to the extent that they are helpful.

At the very least, ordinary nutrition and exercise cannot enable an ordinary ninja to reach the level of a tailed beast, let alone be comparable to the 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... well, even 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 physique is constantly improving, and it's almost at the level 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 actual 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 his head: "This is 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?"

Even though he said that, Yamashiro Aoba'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 fused into a Bloodline Limit?

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

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 with balanced nutrition and exercise."

"But bloodline limit might be able to, even if it can't compare, it might be able to greatly 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 the bloodline limit means the emergence of new property changes, which will 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 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 indeed 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. "I told you all to work hard, how did it become me working hard?"

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