Chapter 92: Ming Ren's Cultivation, Self-Explosion Separation Technique
"A new ninjutsu? Really?" As soon as he heard that he could cultivate it, Naruto immediately became so excited that he forgot himself. Now, the previously spirited him had become a big fool who stepped on dog feces. It made Hinata and Shikamaru speechless for a moment.
"Alright, enough chit-chat. Now I can teach you a ninja technique that you can practice while walking." Meng Ling said with a smile, actually this idea was also thought of by Meng Ling yesterday when he was creating his own dual Pisces blood infant clone, at that time he tried it out and found the effect to be quite remarkable.
"Hey Naruto, before I teach you this technique, let me tell you what I've thought of as a use for chakra," said Mugen while walking.
"Uh-huh!" Naruto only became focused when he had something to surpass, and in his eyes, surpassing Sasuke was always his goal (although his current strength has already surpassed Sasuke's... but that's just something Naruto himself doesn't know). Now seeing Kakashi-sensei constantly helping Sasuke with his training, Naruto felt a pang of discontent. With Jiraiya wanting to teach him ninjutsu now, he would definitely listen carefully.
"You should know, chakra is the foundation of launching ninjutsu. If a ninjutsu is compared to an electric light, then 'seal' is the switch, and chakra is the energy that powers the 'ninjutsu' lamp." said Meng Ling.
"Hmm, I knew that, is there something wrong?" Naruto asked.
"Just imagine, if a light bulb was originally only able to withstand a certain amount of electric current, but you suddenly added a huge amount of electricity that far exceeded the light bulb's capacity, what would happen?" Meng Ling asked with a smile.
"In that case, the light bulb would certainly be broken, why are you asking this?" Naruto felt more and more strange.
"No, what you said is only one aspect, and the ninja technique I'm going to teach you today is achieved through a principle that you haven't thought of." Meng Ling stretched out an index finger in front of her eyes and swung it back and forth, smiling as she spoke.
"What's with this ninjutsu anyway? Just say it already, Mei Ling." Naruto said somewhat impatiently.
"I'm telling you, you should know that the ninja technique I'm going to teach you is very difficult, so just listen carefully." Meng Ling said seriously.
"Yes, yes, I know." Naruto was clearly very impatient.
"Alright, let's continue. You've already learned the Tree Climbing and Water Walking jutsu, so your chakra control should be decent by now. The jutsu I'm about to teach you is a bit special, so listen up as I explain the concept of chakra nature transformation!" said Mugen.
"What is this change in Chakra nature?" Naruto asked curiously.
"First of all, let me tell you that chakra can be divided into two types: nature transformation and shape transformation. The Rasengan I taught you earlier is a jutsu developed by the Fourth Hokage to take the shape transformation of chakra to its limits, which you've more or less mastered. Now, what I'm going to teach you is the principle of nature transformation of chakra. Generally speaking, there are five basic natures of chakra: fire, wind, lightning, earth, and water. And then there's 'yin' and 'yang', two special natures that we won't discuss for now. Your mission this time is to master your own nature transformation before finding Nagato." Mei Terumi said.
"It's not me who said that, Meng Ling little girl, can he learn from Meng Ling now?" Just then, Zi Lai spoke up beside him.
"Hey, perverted sage, don't underestimate me! The ninja technique that the Fourth Hokage took three years to master, I mastered in less than a month. This time will be no exception." Naruto said confidently.
"Ah, yes, you're a genius." Jiraiya didn't even bother to continue responding to Naruto's 'foolishness', casually saying something and walking away, but in his heart he was muttering: "You were able to complete the Rasengan training so quickly, it's all thanks to that little girl's new training method, although you did work hard, but surpassing the talent of the Water Gate, I've only seen two people do that so far."
Of course, Naruto had no idea what was going on in his mind, and at this time, Menma simply told Naruto about the change in the nature of Chakra in the easiest way to understand. At this moment, Menma couldn't help but think of the time when he was a tutor on Earth because of his tuition problems.
After letting Naruto understand the knowledge of the change in chakra nature, Meng Ling had Naruto use a chakra detection paper to test his chakra nature, and as with the original work, Naruto's chakra nature was still wind attribute. Although Meng Ling had already guessed it earlier, he still had to pretend a little, after all, there was still one of the "Three Ninjas" here!
"Naruto, your first stage of training is to use your own chakra to cut the leaves in your hand. It's like this." Maito said, and then plucked a leaf from a nearby tree and placed it on his palm. With a flash of white, the leaf on Maito's hand split into two halves: "I'll let you in on a secret, the principle of wind attribute chakra is - thinner and sharper, remember that well." After saying this, Maito had Naruto start training by himself.
"Wow, that's amazing, even thinner and sharper? I get it, if that's the case, then I'll... Shadow Clone Jutsu." With that, Naruto split into over a dozen clones of himself, starting his training on the nature transformation of chakra.
All the way, Naruto kept making that constipated sound, "Hmmm...hmmm" nonstop. It seemed like he was using all his energy on his stomach instead of concentrating chakra. As a result, Naruto's journey could be described as a "landmine warfare". When others warned him to be careful, Naruto proudly said this was his first Wind Style Jutsu - Fart.
————I am that gorgeous dividing line————
These days, Naruto has been training in wind attribute chakra under the guidance of Mei Terumi. Finally, a week ago, Naruto successfully completed the training of cutting leaves. However, if he were to train to cut through waterfalls, his progress would slow down. Therefore, Mei thought of a method - still cutting, but now she wants Naruto to cut ice blocks formed by her using elemental fruit. Of course, it starts with a thin layer of ice. Every time Naruto successfully cuts an ice block of a certain thickness, Mei increases the thickness of the ice block he needs to cut. This makes Naruto feel frustrated. Cutting ice blocks is already a difficult task, and now he has been repeating this process for about a week. To make matters worse, Naruto is not good at controlling his emotions, and now he is searching for a solution in front of Mei every day.
"Want the trick? Alright, I'll charge you 100 taels for just one word. You know my trick is worth a thousand taels per word, but now I'm giving you a discount, this is a special promotion."
So, in order for his family property to be preserved, Naruto had no choice but to cultivate himself obediently.
However, on the second day, Naruto's money was all spent by Jiraiya to pick up girls. Looking at his flat wallet, Naruto was also in an uproar.
"If only I had agreed with Mu Lin earlier, maybe I would have known some secrets. But now..." At this time, Minato was venting his anger to Jiraiya...
That's how Naruto dirtied a young punk's clothes, and the young punk's underling even said he was a Jonin from Iwagakure and demanded 100,000 ryo in compensation.
It was at this time...
"Kakashi, since you're so eager to know what that jutsu I taught you is, I'll demonstrate it for you today." Kurenai smiled and said to Kakashi, without waiting for his response, she directly created a shadow clone. The shadow clone suddenly appeared in front of the young punk who claimed to be a Jonin from Iwagakure, then rapidly inflated like a balloon, before exploding with a loud "Boom", instantly creating a massive whirlwind that sent the young punk flying.
"'Shadow Clone Explosion Jutsu', when using the Shadow Clone, inject more chakra into it, and then the clone will let its own body go berserk, transforming into wind-attributed chakra, increasing its power greatly. I just used ordinary chakra and only added a bit more, so that person was lucky to survive. Imagine if during battle with an enemy, your clone suddenly explodes, bringing a massive shockwave, it would definitely catch the enemy off guard. And if you add wind-attributed chakra, the exploding clone might even release a gust of wind to attack the enemy, it's a completely unexpected move." Mei Ling smiled and said to Naruto beside her, recalling the time when Pain used this technique in the original story, catching Kakashi off guard.
"I'm asking Mu Meng, I'd like to ask, if it's just like this, then wouldn't having the explosive symbol on one's own share have the same effect? Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?" asked Zi Laiya from the side.
"The time it takes for the explosive tag to detonate has a short burning period, although it's not very long, but even in an instant, the enemy can do many things right in front of you. However, the Self-Detonating Clone Technique can instantly blow itself up without being detected by the enemy. Moreover, the effect of using this technique will be different for ninjas with different natures."
"So, Naruto, if you want to get stronger, then train properly."
