Kapitel 83: Chapter 82- Ritual

"Have you ever heard of something called Chakra Seinou?"

'Is she going to say what I'm thinking?'

"No, what is it?"

"As I told you earlier, Uzumakis are known to have a strong resilient chakra. This part of our beings allows us to use some chakra abilities."

Kushina paused to see if Renjiro was keenly listening before continuing, "I had lost hope when I heard that you had awakened the Sharingan. I had thought that your mother's genes were more dominant, but after witnessing your large chakra reserves as well as your stamina even when making seals, I concluded that maybe you might be able to unlock your body to accommodate the chakra seinou."

'It was as I thought. I've been waiting for this.'

"Wait, unlock? How do I unlock it? And do you have any of these chakra abilities?"

"I do have one, it's geared more towards sealing, but it can be used for combat to some extent. As for unlocking the Chakra seinou, I need to perform a jutsu on your body so that you can accommodate the ability."

"Think of the ability as a Kekkei Genkai, your body must change to accommodate the ability whether it be changing chakra nature for elemental Kekkei Genkai or changing a particular physical aspect in the case of the Uchiha and the Sharingan."

"So when you do this jutsu, will I awaken an ability immediately or what will happen, also, If I do awaken an ability, will it be a random one or will I get to choose it."

"Once I perform the Jutsu on you, your body will be free to pick up any abilities taught and can even awaken one of its own. As for the ability, just like a Kekkei Genkai, I can teach you the ability I have or any of the others that I know to awaken."

"Alright, I think I have gotten a better understanding of this whole thing. When can we begin?" Renjiro asked.

"Do you want to do it now?" Kushina asked with a puzzled look.

"How long will it take?"

"The time it takes varies from person to person, but considering only your father was an Uzumaki and a civilian at that, It would probably take closer to a day for you."

"Hmmm... that long. I guess we can begin tomorrow after I finish my shift and training. Do I need to make any special preparations?"

"None whatsoever, I am the one who needs to do most of the preparations."

"Alright, then I will come back tomorrow then," Renjiro said and left for his house as he had to start his duty in the Police force.

"I guess I was wrong, maybe I will learn a lot during this next year in the Force. Still, if I can awaken the adamantine sealing chains, then I might become an Elite Jounin faster than I had planned."

"But which skill would be better? Kushina's Chains or Karin's healing and Sensing abilities? If I had to have my pick, I would pick all three of them, but I am sure It won't be possible. Anyway, I should stop wasting time thinking about it, all I know is that whatever ability I awaken will help me in the long run."

Renjiro stopped thinking out loud just as he reached his compound. He had several hours remaining, so he decided to make a few seals before going to the meditation rooms to meditate.

When it was almost dusk, Renjiro made his way to the police base and began his shift patrolling the village. It was then that Renjiro realized that this work might not be bad after all.

By Patrolling the village, he got access to several places that he wouldn't have gotten unless he became an S-rank Shinobi or even a council member.

He now knew where important facilities in the village were such as the Intelligence division which was quite close to the police base in the outskirts of the village.

He also got to know the various residencies of the clans living in Konoha, but the locations that Renjiro deemed important were the bases of the Anbu and the Root.

Of course, he could not snoop around them because he was just a normal chunin in the police force. Also from his talk with his squad earlier in the day, he concluded that the Root, Anbu and the Police force were not in the best of terms.

Due to the volatile situation, he needed to be surgical in his actions towards those three forces or he could risk things deteriorating and force the Uchiha Clan to a worse position than they already were.

Other than noting down these few places of interest, Renjiro's first shift was uneventful. He made a few friends here and there, but it was nothing worth mentioning.

'Staying around Sora, Kaito, Tekka, Inabi and the rest made me forget how few Uchiha's awaken their Sharingan.

At least, they are good when it comes to fire-style jutsus. But just imagining living without the Sharingan would be like fighting with your dominant hand tied in the back.

But that gives me an Idea, I should try to collect their eyes during the next war to see whether I can artificially awaken their Sharingans using Fuinjutsu or even Kinjutsu. That would be a good way to know how I can awaken my Mangekyo without the whole curse of Hatred nonsense.'

Renjiro went to his squad training session where they had a physical training session followed by a tactical training.

The physical session was nothing much as Renjiro's stamina was growing day by day that he had to get new weights because the current one was becoming 'light' even after using it to its full potential.

During the next session, Fujioka made it clear that they would not change things because Renjiro just joined the squad. He was already a chunin, so he could catch up by learning from the rest.

With his day, or night, done, Renjiro arrived at Kushina's place for the 'awakening'. He felt fresh the whole day but still decided to have a power nap just in case.

"Are you ready?" Kushina asked.

"Yes, I am. What do I need to do?" he inquired.

"No, you just need to strip and lay down here," Kushina said as she pointed to the bed that she had prepared beforehand.

'What? I need to strip?!'

Kushina noticed the hesitation on Renjiro's face and added, "All your Tenketsu need to be free for the whole process to succeed."

This assured Renjiro and he promptly stripped down. He was only left with a pair of shorts on his being.

After lying down on the bed, Kushina began, "The jutsu I am going to use was usually done during the coming of age of all Uzushio shinobi and fuinjutsu experts. It was done earlier in their life so it might be a bit painful for you since you are older and your body has already formed certain habits."

"The best case scenario is that you gain better regeneration ability for your chakra and body and even awaken an ability of your own. The worst case scenario is that you might lose the ability to wield chakra since this is the first time I am performing this jutsu after Mito-san taught me."

"What do-"

Kushina muttered the last part, but Renjiro still managed to hear it. He wanted to reply when Kushina completed her hand signs and infused her chakra to most of Renjiro's tenketsu.

Renjiro's eyes dilated as a blanket of pain enveloped his whole being. Upto now, the most pain he had ever felt was when Kushina mistakenly used the advanced chakra drain seal on him.

'Was this a jutsu or a ritual?' He thought as he struggled not to lose his consciousness.

Kapitel 84: Chapter 83-Magatama

[This chapter was sponsored by Shawn O. You guys can thank Him in the comments for the Double Release]

The Jutsu, or ritual as Renjiro had termed it, that Kushina was using was called Magatama. It directly translated to Vitality.

The Jutsu was a manifestation of the inherent strength and resilience of the Uzumaki clan. When performed, it bathed the target in a radiant aura of swirling chakra, imbuing them with enhanced vitality and fortitude.

The Jutsu worked by tapping into the unique energy available in the Uzumaki bloodline, channelling it throughout the target's body to bolster their physical and spiritual capabilities.

As a shimmering aura of crimson and gold appeared, the pain that Renjiro was experiencing seemed to increase exponentially. The aura radiated outward from Renjiro's body in undulating waves, creating a protective barrier that surrounded both him and Kushina like a cocoon of energy.

"Renjiro, I know that you are in pain, but I want to try to assimilate the chakra for as long as you can," Kushina said to the near-unconscious chunin lying before her.

Renjiro didn't know how, but he did as directed and began trying to assimilate the Chakra he was getting from Kushina.

Fortunately, it offered some respite as the pain dulled. He was still feeling pain, but it was at least more manageable than before.

"That is good, Renjiro. Keep circulating your chakra in your body."

Renjiro kept on circulating his chakra as the crimson aura surrounding them began to dull.

"Now we have completed the first phase, Renjiro. For this next one, just try your best to stay awake."

Immediately Kushina finished talking, she used her left hand to perform a hand sign and slammed it onto Renjiro's naval region. This was followed by a surge of power that started coursing through Renjiro's veins, invigorating him from within.

If before he was feeling hot steam coursing through him, it now felt like molten lava was coursing through him. It was not like Renjiro had ever experienced the temperatures, but he could swear this was how it felt.

Immediately, drops of sweat began forming on his forehead and Renjiro could not help but start squirming from the pain. He bit his lips so hard that they started to bleed.

'We are not going to get good results if he keeps on moving.' Kushina thought as she began channelling her chakra.

With a focused intensity in her eyes, the air around her began to crackle with energy as Adamantine Chains materialized from her torso. Gleaming with an otherworldly luminescence, the chains snaked forth from her body with fluid grace and wrapped around Renjiro.

With Rejiro in place, Kushina continued infusing more and more chakra into Renjiro. Renjiro could no longer move, but his muscles started spasming as he was now drenched in sweat.

'Hasn't he had enough? My reserves are almost half-depleted. That is more than half of his total chakra and yet his tenketsus aren't showing any signs of filling up.'

'Anyway, I have more chakra to spare, so I'll just continue going on for a while. I am sure that the more chakra Renjiro gets, the more chances he has of awakening an ability.'

Two more hours passed with Kushina still infusing chakra to Renjiro.

Renjiro was in a near comatose state where he was aware of what was happening, but he couldn't move. It was like he was dreaming and fighting sleep paralysis at the same time. On top of that, his eyes were stinging him!

Meanwhile, Kushina had begun thinking of other things when a shiver passing through her brought her out of her Reverie.

'Wait, what is happening? Renjiro's eyes are bleeding, has his body reached the threshold?'

Kushina did a quick check on Renjiro's body and apart from his eyes bleeding, nothing else was different. Well, that was until Kushina noticed the glow on her hands.

"What have I done? Renjiro has had enough. I should stop before things get bad for both him and me."

As Kushina noticed the orange glow on her hands instead of the previous blue one, Renjiro's eyes, which were still bleeding, were reacting differently to the new chakra entering his chakra network.

His three tomoe were spinning rapidly. Just as they were about to stop and take shape, they reverted back to normal. This was because Kushina had stopped the chakra infusion.

"We have completed the process, Renjiro. You can now rest." Kushina said as Renjiro finally threw in the towel and fainted.

'I have used more chakra than I expected. I even used that guy's chakra and I still couldn't reach the threshold. This is a good sign, but I hope using the Kyubi's chakra will not have adverse effects on Renjiro.'

Kushina sat down in a lotus position and began to meditate. She tapped into the Nine Tails Chakra, so she had to regain more of her chakra as fast as possible to ensure the Kyubi did not comprise the seal.

Although she could still handle things even if the Kyubi decided to escape, it would complicate a lot of things and even disrupt Renjiro, who was still recovering from the Magatama Jutsu.

Fortunately, Kushina's high chakra regeneration kicked in and after some minutes, her chakra reserves completely filled up. She got up and decided to wait until Renjiro woke up.

======

Renjiro's eyes fluttered open, blinking away the remnants of sleep. He expected to wake up feeling groggy and disoriented as he did from another incident in the past. However, he felt better than ever.

It was as if every cell in his body had been revitalized, replenishing him from within. With a deep inhale, Renjiro stretched his limbs.

'I feel good. It's like I have had the best sleep in my two lifetimes.'

As he rose from his bed, Renjiro realized that he was still in his pair of shorts and now had blood stains all over his body.

"How are feeling, Renjiro?" Kushina asked as she approached Renjiro. Before Renjiro could answer, she placed a hand on Renjiro's shoulder.

'What is she doing? Wait, was she always this short?' Renjiro wondered.

Kushina's brows furrowed as she asked, "Are you Okay?"

Renjiro nodded

"Are you feeling anything now?"

"No," he said before his eyes widened and he asked, "Are you trying to infuse your chakra to me? I thought we were already done with the process?"

Kushina did not answer and just walked to a table near her and retrieved a seal. She then walked towards Renjiro holding the seal. Renjiro immediately backed away.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"What is wrong?"

"Why are you holding that seal?" Renjiro said pointing to the seal on her hand.

"I want to use it on you?" Kushina answered.

"Why?"

"It is an Inspect seal. I want to use it to see if there are any other changes to your body."

"Are you sure that it is the right seal?"

"Yes, why?" Kushina asked with a perplexed look on her face.

"You have already mistaken a seal you wanted to use on me once, so I just wanted to make sure it doesn't repeat," Renjiro answered as he sighed.

"Ooh, So that's why you are alarmed, don't worry, I have already checked if it is the right seal." Renjiro relaxed as Kushina placed the seal on his top left chest.

Renjiro sat as Kushina did more tests on him. She even used more seals on him. He did not know what exactly she did, but Renjiro chose to trust her.

Kushina even used a needle on his finger to draw some of his blood. He noticed the bleeding stop immediately Kushina drew the blood which was strange.

'Instead of wasting time thinking about it, Let me just wait for Kushina to finish up her experiments.'

"So, are you done?" Renjiro inquired.

"Yes," Kushina nodded as she took a seat in front of him.

"What is the conclusion?"
