Chapitre 97: Forging the Ultimate Body
As Haruto returned to his apartment, the streets quiet in the deepening night, his mind raced with the possibilities of the plan that had been forming in his head for months. While his peers would likely be asleep, recovering from the brutal training sessions Sakumo put them through, Haruto didn't have the same limitations. With only four hours of sleep needed, he had time—time to push himself in ways that others couldn't.
He closed the door behind him and immediately made his way to his desk, pulling out his notebook filled with scattered ideas. Tonight, he was determined to piece it all together—to solidify the plan that would transform his body into something beyond what any ordinary shinobi could achieve.
The goal was clear: stronger bones, stronger muscles, enhanced nerves. But it wasn't just about brute force. Haruto understood that for this to work, everything had to function in perfect harmony, a carefully orchestrated system of physical and chakra-based enhancements. The challenge wasn't just in making the changes—it was making them work together without destroying his body in the process.
Haruto began by sketching the human body, mapping out the key areas where his enhancements would be applied. The first step would be strengthening his bones. In this world, shinobi fought with an intensity that pushed their bodies beyond normal human limits. Haruto knew that even with stronger muscles, his bones could become a weak point unless they were reinforced.
He envisioned seals that would subtly stimulate the growth of bone density, making them not just tougher, but more flexible, able to withstand impacts without breaking. In a fight, the difference between surviving a heavy blow or shattering under it could be life or death. The fūinjutsu would work constantly in the background, strengthening his bones as he trained, reinforcing them layer by layer without compromising mobility.
Then there were the muscles. Muscles were the source of power—speed, strength, endurance. Haruto needed his muscles to be stronger than anything he'd ever known, but without the bulk that would slow him down. He imagined seals embedded deep in his muscle fibers, subtly tearing them during training, forcing them to grow back stronger each time. The seals would enhance recovery, accelerating the process of rebuilding torn muscle while ensuring that his body could handle the increased strain.
But muscles alone wouldn't be enough. Reflexes—the speed at which his body could react—were just as important. That's where enhanced nerves came in. The idea was simple but powerful: improve the speed of the signals traveling between his brain and his muscles. A shinobi's reflexes could mean the difference between landing a blow and being struck down. Haruto began designing a seal system that would boost his nervous system's conductivity, sharpening his reflexes and awareness to near superhuman levels. It would allow his body to respond to threats almost as quickly as he could perceive them.
Haruto's hand moved swiftly, drawing more detailed diagrams of how these seals would interact. But even as he sketched, the complexity of the task weighed on him. He didn't know enough about fūinjutsu yet—not the kind of advanced sealing arts he would need to pull this off. What he had were the basics, enough to dabble, but not enough to weave these powerful seals into his own body.
He scowled at the page, frustration bubbling up. But the frustration didn't last long. Haruto knew he had an ace up his sleeve: his Two Minds ability. With one part of his mind able to focus entirely on learning while the other refined his ideas, he could accelerate the process. He would dive into every scroll, every scrap of knowledge he could find on fūinjutsu, especially the more advanced techniques. As long as he could master the necessary knowledge before puberty, he could implement the seals while his body was still adapting and growing.
Puberty would be key. During that time, the body was naturally undergoing rapid changes, making it the perfect period to introduce the seals. If he did it right, the enhancements would work in sync with his natural growth, amplifying the effects.
Haruto tapped his pen against the paper, thinking about the details. The seals couldn't just run continuously—that would burn through too much chakra and possibly overload his body. They would need to be regulated, functioning in cycles that aligned with his training and recovery. One of the biggest challenges would be creating a seal that monitored the body's condition and adjusted the chakra flow in real-time, ensuring the enhancements didn't put too much strain on his body.
He imagined a central seal, almost like a control hub, placed near his core. This seal would manage the chakra output to the rest of the body, sending energy where it was needed most—more to the bones during intense training, more to the muscles during combat, more to the nerves when reflexes mattered. This system would allow his body to adapt to whatever was required in the moment.
The more he thought about it, the more the plan began to make sense. If he could absorb ambient chakra from the environment, it would reduce the burden on his chakra reserves. His chakra control had improved immensely thanks to his golden reward, so regulating this system wouldn't be an issue. The seals could draw from the natural energy around him, maintaining themselves without requiring constant input.
But the knowledge he needed wasn't something he could gather overnight. He made a note to seek out fūinjutsu scrolls whenever possible, especially from Uzumaki sources. Working with Tsunade in the hospital would give him access to medical ninjutsu resources, and between his own observations and deeper study, he would piece it together. Haruto knew it would take time, but he had time. The Two Minds ability meant he could dedicate himself fully to this while keeping up with his other responsibilities.
And then it struck him—Tsunade's strength-enhancing techniques. Her ability to channel chakra directly into her muscles for short bursts of immense power was legendary. If Haruto could combine that technique with his physical enhancements, the results would be overwhelming. The seals would continuously strengthen his body, but Tsunade's techniques would allow him to focus bursts of power when he needed them most—doubling the effectiveness of his enhancements.
The possibilities excited him. This wasn't just about being strong. It was about having the strength when it counted most, about being able to hit harder, faster, and recover quicker than anyone else.
Haruto leaned back in his chair as the first light of dawn began to peek through the window. He wasn't there yet, but the pieces were falling into place. He would need to master the seals and learn far more about fūinjutsu than he currently knew, but he had no doubts about one thing—when this plan was complete, he would become more than just a shinobi. His body would be a weapon, capable of surviving battles most wouldn't walk away from.
As he got up to prepare for the day's training with Sakumo, a grin tugged at the corner of his mouth. This was only the beginning. When his body was fully enhanced, no one would be able to keep up with him. The possibilities were endless, and he was determined to make them a reality.
