Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#338 - Jiraiya realized...

"Chunqiu~ What are you thinking about? Why have you seemed so absent-minded this whole way?"

Naruto had come to Liang Yue's side at some point, and was now looking at him with a puzzled expression.

"Hmm~ Just thinking about a ninjutsu problem."

Liang Yue replied casually, clicking his tongue.

"What problem?"

"Well~ I saw some intelligence in the Hokage Building before, saying that the Stone Village's Dust Release, passed down through generations, is very powerful, but it requires chakra with wind, fire, and earth attributes at the same time to be used.

Moreover, this ninjutsu that combines three attributes is stronger than the average Bloodline Limit, and is also known as Bloodline Elimination. I also have lightning, fire, and wood attributes of chakra now.

So I wanted to try and see if I could research something from it."

"Ah? What elimination?"

After hearing his words, Naruto looked completely bewildered, his eyes filled with confusion.

On the other side, Jiraiya curved the corners of his mouth after hearing this, and said dismissively.

"Lightning, fire, wood, these three chakra systems seem to be a bit far apart, right? According to the theory of ninjutsu, lightning and fire can be combined into Blaze Release.

If there was no connection, then how did the "wood" in Chunqiu's body appear…

After thinking about it, Jiraiya continued with a strange expression.

"Your wood attribute chakra, although it came a bit strangely, should still follow the basic ninjutsu rules, right? Besides~ Can you use Wood Release now?"

"A little."

"…Then use it and let's see."

Jiraiya heard this, immediately crossed his arms, and looked at him with a critical expression.

Liang Yue didn't waste any words here, he directly raised his arm towards the roadside.

Just as his five fingers separated, the ends of his five fingers immediately extended rapidly and changed color.

In the blink of an eye, Liang Yue's arm turned into a thick, emerald green tree trunk.

At the front end of the tree trunk, more than a dozen branches, at least as thick as pythons, quickly separated again.

Like the tentacles of an octopus, they surged towards the roadside trees, interweaving and penetrating.

Dense, bulging, and at least stretching for hundreds of meters!

And that piece of forest that was covered, in an instant, looked like it had just been ravaged by an eighteen-level gale~

Either leaning east and west, or directly cut off at the waist!

Afterwards, Liang Yue flicked his arm, and the tree trunk danced along with it, and the nearby forest was immediately devastated.

Then, he saw that the tree trunk and branches in his hand seemed to have turned into a giant whip, extremely elastic and powerful.

With a loud "snap~!" sound.

A forest was directly beaten into a pile of fine fragments…

Accompanied by the surging airflow, Naruto and Jiraiya on this side were immediately stunned by the scene, and could not recover from this scene for a long time.

Liang Yue then moved his mind, and the arm that was originally covered by the giant tree was immediately withdrawn.

The giant tree, which was stimulated by spiritual power, quickly turned withered yellow, decayed, and shattered in the horrified eyes of the two people next to him.

Then, all of them turned into a blue-green spiritual power, and returned to his own body.

After completing this entire process, Liang Yue frowned unconsciously, and thought.

"This consumption is a bit too much."

Although he had repeatedly recovered the spiritual power used to stimulate Wood Release just now, the consumption between them still accounted for a large part of the amount of spiritual power used to stimulate it.

Moreover, the effect achieved by this Wood Release, although it looks very impressive, has not been able to reach the level that satisfies him.

"…I said, what ninjutsu did you just use? Great Forest Technique, or Violent Spear Technique? It doesn't look like either to me."

Jiraiya, who had recovered from his daze at this time, immediately said to Liang Yue as if he was looking at an alien.

"Neither, with Wood Release, as long as you understand the conversion method between chakra and matter, you can use it however you want. Moreover, my current chakra is obtained by converting natural energy.

In terms of nature, it may be closer to those so-called Sage Techniques."

Obviously, Liang Yue's concept of using ninjutsu is very different from that of the people in the Naruto world from the beginning.

His understanding of ninjutsu and the application of spells, to some extent, is more similar to the Devil Fruits in One Piece.

Or rather, it is more like a method of using superpowers.

Starting from the essence of chakra, after understanding the relationship and mysteries between ninjutsu of different attributes, as well as the methods of application, he simply doesn't care about, and is not constrained by, any specific form of ninjutsu.

Whatever is appropriate is what he does~

This is a bit like a martial arts master who has achieved success in cultivation.

When his internal strength realm is high enough, a casual blow may be more effective than any exquisite move.

This is a difference in realm…

"…Then why are you still learning powerful ninjutsu? Wouldn't it be better to directly use Wood Release to fight the enemy?"

Jiraiya swallowed, and then seemed to have thought of something, his face suddenly showing a bit of exasperation.

Afterwards, his whole person became unusually quiet, frowning, his eyes flickering.

"In addition to the wood attribute, I also have lightning and fire chakras. In addition, the power of Wood Release is not enough. The reason why the effect is good is just because of the light of the God Tree. When it comes to~\

,""You just said that as long as you understand the conversion method between chakra and matter, you can use ninjutsu however you want. You put this… explain it to me carefully again."

Jiraiya at this time, seemed to have suddenly fallen into some kind of confusion and predicament.

He hugged his arms with one hand, and kept touching his chin with the other. Later, he even unconsciously bit his fingernails, and his expression seemed a little dazed.

It looked like he urgently needed a life mentor to guide him.

This state seems to be a sign of an imminent breakthrough!

However, if you think about it carefully, after many years of traveling, Jiraiya seems to have already reached the peak level of chakra.

Moreover, the time may have been not short.

Although he may not be able to compare with old people like the Third Hokage in terms of the total amount of chakra accumulated, he can't resist his own good fortune~

Things like Mount Myōboku's toad summons, half-baked Sage Techniques, etc., have had the experience of absorbing natural energy into the body.

In addition, he had listened to Liang Yue's martial arts innate theory in the Forest of Death before.

At this time, it is actually normal for him to be able to touch some of the obstacles and opportunities for breaking through.

"This thing is about your own attitude towards chakra, as well as your understanding of its application. Judging from the beginning of the birth of ninjas, the ability of chakra must have appeared first, and then the concept of ninjutsu.

So, in the beginning, when there was no ninjutsu, how did people use chakra?"

"In my opinion, the so-called ninjutsu is actually just that the predecessors passed down some fixed techniques and methods to use chakra.

The essence is to let us better understand and use chakra, but when you can skillfully master ninjutsu, there is no need to act according to the framework of the predecessors."

"Try to get out of the ninjutsu they have limited, and look at chakra itself with a more free and open mind, according to different attributes, and the methods learned from ninjutsu.

Apply, rearrange, and combine…"

"Try to let go of your mind, let yourself integrate into this world, feel the magic and vitality of the world, feel the earth and the air, feel…"

"The energy in the natural world is far greater than the human body. Open your heart, try to be in harmony and unity with nature, try to feel it, be close to it, and accommodate it…"

"Chakra is essentially a natural energy, because human beings themselves are a part of this world…"

"The things that you are confused about now, in fact, have already had answers in your heart, but they have long been forgotten in the corners of your memory in the long-term training in the past…"

"What is chakra, where does it come from, and where is it going…"

…

"Swish~"

Soon, accompanied by the convergence of a surge of natural energy, Jiraiya at this time, finally broke through the barrier and broke through the innate realm…

Large amounts of natural energy are constantly coming from all directions.

Turning into wisps of refreshing cool breeze, forming a small cyclone, stirring the sky for hundreds of meters around, and finally the wind and clouds converged, and merged into one person's body.

At this moment, Jiraiya's expression was indifferent, and his body relaxed.

The whole person sat cross-legged on the ground unconsciously, put on a posture with his hands clasped together, and let the natural energy surge in, washing his body.

Seeing this, Liang Yue also pulled Naruto, who was completely confused next to him, to the side, and waited quietly for him to complete this transformation.
