Chapter Eighteen One Year

  Of course, this year's overall results are quite fruitful. I think the goals that I wanted to achieve were all achieved... and some of the things that I didn't want to do were also done a bit.

  In short, after the main meridians of the Twelve Seals were all reorganized, I encountered a bottleneck in single-handed seal speed that had been stagnant for a long time, and I can now do two seals per second. This is still under the circumstances where I abandoned my seal training for a year (the meridians are either being reorganized or sealed during training, with no time to practice). However, after reaching two seals per second, I can start practicing double-handed seals or unsealed ninjutsu, and for now, I haven't decided which one to set as my training goal.

  The training goal of forming hand seals is the control technique of chakra within the meridians, and the final result is to simultaneously control different flows of chakra in the meridians.

  The training goal of Muay Thai is the speed of chakra in the meridians, and the final result is the faster the better.

  I'm not a god, even if I can multitask, I won't be able to focus on two completely different fields that are extremely opposite at the same time. I can only choose one first, but after completing one, the difficulty of the other will increase, after all, they are completely different fields.

  I'm more inclined to practice sealing techniques with both hands separately, but if the hand seals for the two different chakra flows are the same, the impact of having two simultaneous chakra flows in one meridian would be several times greater than twice the amount of chakra flow. For an immature meridian system at this age, it seems like too much damage (this person completely forgot what they did to themselves). I'll do two more sets (twelve times) of complete meridian reconditioning before trying again. Meridian reconditioning is better when done while the meridians are still immature, as it has higher plasticity. Three to six years old is exactly the stage where meridians grow and develop. After completing everything, I'll just happen to be returning to Konoha at that time.

  Talking about the Shadow Clone, if I can use multiple shadow clones now that would be great, then I wouldn't have to think about this. Now I also can't go back, even if I went back, the Third Hokage probably won't let me learn it. But if I ask him, he will definitely pay attention to me. Is there any other way to learn? Shadow Clone is a special ninja technique of Konoha, multiple shadow clones are advanced but not difficult to learn, ninjas above Jonin level can all do it, just the number of shadow clones differs. Hmm, I thought of a method with low possibility, however, let me think again, I won't force it.

  The problem has been solved, let's get back to the topic. It's too obvious that both hands are forming seals at the same time. However, if each hand practices single-handed seal formation and then strives for speed with all one's might, even Uchiha Sasuke was able to do six seals in one second, but still couldn't achieve the No-Hand Seal Jutsu.

  No need to speak incantations, directly using ninjutsu is also very vivid, but at the same time using two kinds of ninjutsu is also very vivid.

  As I thought about it, I realized that this is probably the first time I've had such a greedy emotion since coming here. Greed seems to be bad, but according to the book, everyone is greedy and there's no one who is completely selfless; if someone can really be selfless then they're not human. So I'll just be greedy and practice even more, increasing my practice time by another fold.

  "How many hours have you been practicing every day?! You still dare to give me double practice, are you not going to sleep anymore?! Jiu scolded angrily."

  Luckily I'm not in the spiritual realm now, so I won't see the furious face of the nine-tailed demon beast. However, judging from his tone, I can roughly imagine that scene.

  Sleep? What's the point of sleeping? If you're not tired, then don't sleep. When you have time, sleep; when you don't have time, don't sleep! Anyway, I'm usually not very tired. Normally, my body is quite heavy... My physical condition is slightly worse than usual, that's when I'll sleep. Usually, most of the time, I use meditation and chakra practice to replace sleep.

  I personally don't like the feeling of being completely unable to control my body after falling into a deep sleep. The key point is that most of the time, I wake up from a good sleep with a terrible spirit, either having had nightmares or sleep paralysis. Every time I get out of bed, I never have that refreshing and invigorating feeling described in books!

  It seems like, looks like, appears that I can only sleep on the bed like this, I guess I don't quite match with the bed!

  To be honest, I don't think I've ever really slept in bed before. They always made me get up... and they never gave me time to sleep either. I had so many things to do, it was all just snatching bits of rest here and there. So yeah, I've never really had much luck with beds! And my body's been dragged down by this too! Sorry about that!

  Damn it, I had a habitual daydreaming episode, and at first, I didn't seem to be thinking about the bed.

  Just now, what was I thinking about? I've somewhat forgotten.

  You dimwit, I'm talking about your current state, you don't even have time to sleep, and yet you still have the energy to daydream. Every time Jiǔ runs into me, he always comes back with this irritable tone, starting with "dimwit".

  Is it, I'm thinking about sleeping? Why do I feel a bit strange, Jiu's expression looks like he's deceiving me, never mind, after all, Jiu deceives me, usually for my own good... right? Even if it's not for my own good, it doesn't matter. As for the things I've forgotten, when I stop thinking about them, they'll quickly come to mind on their own.

  Then I went to sleep, good night, Jiu. I was sure that the amount of Chakra in my body was enough to maintain the automatic circulation practice during sleep, so I casually found a tree that looked pleasing to the eye and went to sleep on it.

  I played with a blood-colored crystal pendant, and entered a state of semi-meditation. "Hehe, we'll meet tomorrow, Bai, I hope you won't disappoint me!"

  I've cleared all the quantities I had, if you guys don't have tickets just give me a review! Thanks!
