However, according to the scroll, apart from that ancestor, no one else learned the third realm.
This Ninjato technique has twenty-four moves, each of which is extremely concise, seemingly like basic moves. However, any combination of the twenty-four moves can be continuous and seamlessly connected, like a raging wind.
Ling practiced it several times in the yard, memorized the twenty-four moves, and felt that it was indeed very insightful. No matter how the moves were connected, they flowed as smoothly as water, with no significant flaws.
Especially when Ling attached Wind Release Chakra to her Ninjato, she was able to cut out wind blades several meters away, and their power was quite considerable, as evidenced by the sword marks left all over the yard.
This was only Ling's initial practice, and she was not yet very proficient. One can imagine how terrifying it would be when every wind blade Ling cuts out in the future has the power of a C-rank Ninjutsu, and the Chakra consumption is still low.
This Gale Sword Technique does not rely entirely on Chakra to cut out wind blades.
Ling felt that these wind blades seemed to combine a part of Natural Energy, using the Wind Release Chakra on the sword blade as a leverage point to pry and draw the violent Natural Energy along.
However, this cannot be considered Senjutsu, because Chakra is not combined with Natural Energy, but rather cleverly draws Natural Energy along.
The Natural Energy in this world, perhaps due to the Ten-Tails' absorption, is somewhat violent, but also appears somewhat active.
And this Gale Sword Technique is indeed amazing. The creator back then probably sensed Natural Energy, but was unable to draw it and dared not absorb it into their body.
However, he cleverly discovered some incompatibility between Chakra and Natural Energy, so he created a sword technique that leverages Natural Energy.
Chakra, in the original work, was said to be a combination of physical energy and spiritual energy, and later it was said to come from the Divine Tree.
Ling believes that Chakra is actually a type of seed; it parasitizes the human body, forming a meridian system that can extract the body's physical energy and spiritual energy, converting them into Chakra. The Chakra seed is the converter.
Any creature living in a world rich in Natural Energy, even if unable to perceive and absorb this energy, will more or less dilute some Natural Energy. This Natural Energy may come from food or from breathing.
But it will always make the physical quality and aptitude of the creatures in this world stronger.
After all, Ling's previous world had no Natural Energy. Five-year-old children could barely run, unlike children in the Ninja World who could jump up and down rooftops at five or six years old.
Ling suspects that physical energy and spiritual energy are degraded secondary products of the human body diluting Natural Energy.
After all, the Divine Tree originally absorbed Natural Energy to convert it into Chakra, and then grew Chakra fruits.
If physical energy and spiritual energy are degraded products of Natural Energy, it can explain why Ninja can refine Chakra, not just because they have Chakra seeds.
Moreover, even the term 'Chakra seed' is Ling's own naming. In the original work, Hamura and Hagoromo once discovered humans whose bodies were eroded by the Divine Tree's roots under the Divine Tree.
Tiny roots of the Divine Tree were inserted into their bodies, absorbing their physical and spiritual energy.
Ling speculates that these people who survived after being eroded by the Divine Tree's roots are the ancestors of ordinary Ninja not of Ōtsutsuki bloodline.
They completed a symbiosis with the Divine Tree's roots, evolved, and adapted to being eroded by the Divine Tree's roots.
The Divine Tree's roots also degenerated into the Ninja's meridian system, used for extracting and circulating Chakra.
This can also explain why Ninja cannot store Chakra, but can only extract and use it simultaneously.
After all, the Divine Tree's roots themselves were meant to extract physical and spiritual energy to combine into Chakra for the Divine Tree.
Naturally, a converter does not need to have the function of storing Chakra.
This is also why the Tailed Beast have Chakra bodies, because they were originally part of the Divine Tree.
The Divine Tree naturally needs to store Chakra, and the Tailed Beast, separated from the Ten-Tails Divine Tree, also inherited this characteristic.
However, although humans cannot store Chakra, they can strengthen their bodies and spirits. When the body and spirit are strengthened, more Chakra can be produced, which is why powerful Ninja have astonishing amounts of Chakra.
Ling opened the last scroll, but its content surprised her.
This scroll actually recorded the Wind Release Chakra Mode.
Thinking of Chakra Mode, one might think of Naruto's Nine-Tailed Chakra Mode, with its cool golden Chakra cloak.
But in reality, this Wind Release Chakra Mode and Lightning Release Chakra Mode are of the same category.
One must know that the Lightning Release Chakra Mode is why the Yotsuki clan of Hidden Cloud Village can have a Raikage in every generation.
It not only provides strong defense, but also extremely powerful enhancements and tempering for attack and physical attributes.
This Wind Release Chakra Mode is actually incomplete; it was a modification made by the Liu Sheng Clan after obtaining a fragmented Lightning Release Chakra Mode from the Yotsuki clan.
Currently, this Wind Release Chakra Mode can only cover the user's body surface with a layer of whirlwind.
It provides a great boost to speed and some defensive capabilities, but the enhancement to physical attributes and attack is very low.
However, it is already quite remarkable. Many clans have previously obtained fragmented Lightning Release Chakra Mode, but unfortunately, none of them managed to develop anything significant.
After all, while Lightning Release can activate the body, it can also damage cell activity, and its degree is not easy to control.
Although the Wind Release Chakra Mode loses the body activation, it possesses speed comparable to the Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Ling cannot cultivate this scroll yet. Firstly, her Chakra reserves are insufficient; she needs at least Jonin-level Chakra to cultivate it.
Secondly, she needs to comprehend the nature transformation of Wind Release Chakra, which Ling currently cannot do, so she naturally cannot cultivate it.
However, with Ling's current physical condition and Chakra growth rate, she will likely have roughly Jonin-level Chakra in about half a year.
It must be said that the Heavenly Restriction is indeed very powerful, although Ling has not yet experienced what Curse Power looks like.
All negative emotions are extracted as Curse Power, and then converted into physical enhancement by the Heavenly Restriction.
Ling ate the dinner made by her Shadow Clone and contentedly began her practice for the evening.
Unfortunately, Ling can only create two Shadow Clone at present; any more would put a burden on her body and spirit.
One Shadow Clone practices the Chakra circulation corresponding to hand seals.
The second Shadow Clone practices Shuriken and Kunai throwing.
Her main body focuses on mastering Ninjutsu, at least to the point where she can use them with 100% success.
Otherwise, if she's fighting someone and shouts out a Ninjutsu name, only for her Great Fireball Technique to turn into a puff of smoke, she'd be utterly humiliated.
She's not as thick-skinned as Obito. Even now, Ling could graduate from the Ninja Academy directly.
It's just that her cultural class grades don't meet the requirements. Do you think cultural classes in the Ninja World are simple?
Then you are wrong. You have to learn trap making, knowledge of the meridian system and acupoints, how to calculate the trajectory of a Shuriken based on wind speed, and so on.
