章 12: Chakra Attributes
At this moment, Masumi's advantage as a time traveler is revealed. Chakra has endless magical uses. It's not problematic to solve the issue of fixing water into a fixed shape.
Thinking about this, Masumi couldn't bear it any longer and immediately went to the contribution exchange office near the village mission hall, where he exchanged the contribution value obtained from copying the book for a chakra test strip.
After exchanging the test strips, on the way home, Masumi felt a bit distressed. One test strip directly cost Masumi 50 contribution points. Eighty percent of the contribution value obtained from copying books was spent directly.
The production of chakra test strips is not problematic. The price is high because it's a necessity. Every ninja will buy one; otherwise, their future path won't be determined.
Upon returning home, Masumi could hardly wait to infuse chakra into the test paper and then noticed that half of the test paper was wet and somewhat broken.
"Well, water and earth," Masumi muttered to himself.
The result cannot be considered happy or disappointing. The long-term goal of dust escape also requires fire and wind. Masumi's natural attributes do not include fire and wind. Developing dust escape is twice as difficult. The current problem requires the earth attribute, and now there's a chance to achieve it.
"Unfortunately!" Masumi sighed and then prepared to think about how to use the earth attribute to correct the shape of water.
This is a very difficult project, but it does not exceed Masumi's level. Although Masumi's overall strength is much inferior to an average genin, his progress in ninjutsu training is indeed sufficient for the next part: a change in nature.
When an ordinary person is able to skillfully perform the Three-Body Jutsu, the amount of chakra is almost sufficient to perform C-rank ninjutsu. As long as you perform tasks for a period of time, get used to using chakra in real combat, and become mentally a ninja, you can learn attribute ninjutsu.
Next, he will learn nature transformation and ninjutsu usage simultaneously. This time, it's much harder than practicing the Three-Body Jutsu.
Considering the mission, chakra cannot be used to perform ninjutsu as much as possible, so progress will be very slow.
Except for a few geniuses, usually after becoming a chuunin, they need special village training before they have the opportunity to learn C-rank ninjutsu.
Masumi is in a special situation; although proficient in the Three-Body Jutsu, it all depends on his control of super chakra, and his chakra amount is far from reaching the level of C-rank ninjutsu.
Logically speaking, there's no need for him to practice nature changes now because even if he practices, it will be futile.
But now Masumi has discovered a new use for changing chakra nature, so he simply decided to include chakra nature change as the focus of his next training.
Masumi had no idea about practicing nature changes. In his memory, Naruto's training to change wind attributes was completely stupid and relied entirely on muscle memory.
This method is not suitable for Masumi. Masumi's physical condition determines that he is not suitable for this stupid practice method.
But that doesn't matter. In the Iwa Ninja Village, there isn't a good way to practice other things, but when it comes to practicing earth attributes, Professor Ishikawa said that's not a problem.
When Professor Ishikawa learned that Masumi wanted to practice earth attribute transformation, he just frowned and directly told Masumi that there was a dedicated place for practicing earth attribute change in the village, and it was free and open to everyone in the village.
During lunchtime, Masumi followed Mr. Ishikawa's guidance and arrived at Training Ground No. 9. This training ground was different from other places. There were no targets to practice kunai on, or various human puppets to practice physical skills on. Instead, there were all sorts of rocks in different shapes.
According to Professor Ishikawa, these rocks are the various earth escape ninjutsu performed by various jounins since the founding of the Earth Kingdom.
The first Tsuchikage chose to build the Iwa Ninja Village here because he liked this land.
Because this land can greatly slow down the chakra escape flow of the earth.
Don't think it's strange. There are many strange places in the ninja world. The strong winds in the Wind Country throughout the year cannot be explained by common sense, and the thunderstorms in the Thunder Country can overturn scientific theorems.
The advantage of the Iwa Ninja Village lies in this sacred land for earth escape training.
Masumi followed the method taught by Mr. Ishikawa and walked in this stone forest, looking for rocks that resonated with his chakra.
As long as you find this kind of rock, sit close to it and carefully understand it, there's a great chance to practice changes in the properties of the earth attribute.
This advantage is the main reason why the Iwa Ninja Village has the highest number of ninjas among the five major countries. It's because the cost of cultivating earth attributes is lower than in other countries, so the Earth Country dares to cultivate so many ninjas.
Masumi walked inside. This feeling was very strange. It was as if these rocks were alive and had their own preferences. Masumi could clearly feel that some rocks were welcoming to him, some were indifferent to him, and some were eager for him.
These eager rocks were like a child calling for their mother, calling Masumi to come closer.
Masumi was in no hurry. He first walked through this vast rocky area before finding a rock that resonated most strongly with him.
The shape of this stone is very regular, a perfect sphere. From the description I have in memory, it seems to be a ninjutsu used by one of the four Sound Ninjas, capable of imprisoning people inside and absorbing chakra from the outside.
It's called Earth Style: Earth Dome Prison, right?
Masumi circled the ball several times, finally choosing a direction that evoked a strong inner call. Then, Masumi placed the left hand on the ball, formed a seal with the right hand, and began releasing chakra into the sphere.
When Masumi's chakra came into contact with the original chakra of the sphere, Masumi seemed to have a connection with the master who performs this ninjutsu.
In this vague connection, Masumi saw some vague fragments. These fragments were some special experiences of the original owner. These photos must have made a deep impression on him during his life, but it was a pity that the order was a mess.
Furthermore, all of Masumi's thoughts were focused on perceiving the essence of the ninjutsu used by the other party. Therefore, Masumi barely remembered the details of these fragments.
At that moment, apparently motionless on the outside, Masumi felt his mind enveloped in a sensation of liquid warmth, as if returning to the mother's womb. Gradually, he began to adapt to this sensation, slowly stretching his limbs.
Finally, Masumi fully immersed himself in the liquid and began to carefully explore every corner.
Feeling this unique experience, it's hard to find an exact parallel in life, but it can be compared to the feeling of learning to ride a bicycle. Before mastering balance, it's challenging, but once learned, maintaining balance becomes natural and hard to lose.
Slowly, Masumi realized that the thing enveloping him was chakra, earth attribute chakra, the chakra left here by the original owner. It's amazing that Masumi also knows how to transform chakra properties.
Naturally, Masumi opened his eyes and exited his original motionless state.
Except this time he wasn't outside the ball, but inside.
It turns out that in the process just now, Masumi gradually integrated into the interior of the Earth Dome Prison.
After Masumi woke up, he felt the chakra in his body and smiled bitterly. All the chakra in his body was exhausted.
Although he didn't know why he was in that ninjutsu, Masumi knew that if he wanted to get out, he would first have to improve his chakra.
But another scene appeared where Masumi was speechless, the refined chakra he had was being absorbed by this ninjutsu little by little.
This absorption speed is very slow. After all, this ninjutsu has been here for an unknown period of time.
But the amount of Masumi's chakra isn't much, and now he doesn't know how much chakra is needed to get out.
If it's not enough, Masumi will be stuck inside, awaiting rescue.
Luckily, he had just had lunch and there was still some chakra left in his body that could be extracted.
Masumi carefully groped, found a place with the slowest absorption rate, sat cross-legged, and meditated to refine the chakra.
Now Masumi can stand and practice, or even practice while using chakra, but that will slow down the absorption rate. First of all, there isn't enough chakra, and if you spend too much time, it will be absorbed even more.
I don't know how long it took, but Masumi felt that his body had almost reached its limit. Then, according to the strange sensation he had experienced before, he released the chakra from outside the body and held it on the surface, and then slowly exited the Earth Dome Prison.
After getting out, Masumi sighed in relief. In just a minute or so, the chakra in his body was almost exhausted again.
Looking back, the feeling of fear arose again.
If he ran out of chakra halfway, he would be trapped. Fortunately, there was no danger.
Masumi was able to get out of this situation using a method similar to the ninjutsu of sneaking into the ground, but that doesn't mean Masumi can now perform this ninjutsu.
It's that the chakra contained in this earth prison has a special connection to Masumi. This can bring great convenience to his actions, which can help Masumi get out of this situation.
Elsewhere, it would be impossible for Masumi to use this method.
Although it was an exciting experience, fortunately there was no harm. Masumi felt more happiness than fear. This journey was not in vain; he learned to manipulate the changes in earth attribute chakra without incident.
Full of enthusiasm, Masumi walked back to the ninja school. "It took a long time to refine my chakra now, and I also spent a lot of time looking for chakra stones that suit me. Now, the semester at the ninja school is almost over."
However, Masumi felt the need to inform Mr. Ishikawa that he was safe and share the good news with him.
Professor Ishikawa was relieved to see Masumi back. He was quite worried, even thinking of going to training ground number 9 to look for Masumi if he didn't return after classes.
Seeing that Masumi was obviously much more tired than at noon, Professor Ishikawa comforted him: "How are you? You are there more often than others. You will be rewarded after a few times."
Seeing that Professor Ishikawa still wanted to comfort him, Masumi quickly said, "Professor Ishikawa, that's not the case." He described the previous experience in detail.
Professor Ishikawa was immediately speechless upon hearing this. Masumi's chakra was not even 100% of what he had when he realized this.
How many times have you been there in total? Forget it, I dare not calculate carefully.
Although Professor Ishikawa was a little afraid of Masumi's recklessness, he thought that this was the only time Masumi went to this rocky forest, so he didn't say much to Masumi, allowing Masumi to avoid a stone will bombardment.
