Chapter 94: Flawless Fallen Body, Binding God, and Spirit Transformation
"A pity, I still couldn't finish it."
In his study, Genichi was slightly regretful. With Ina's inspiration, the development of his touch-depriving genjutsu had progressed at lightning speed, but he still hadn't been able to complete it before the future overdraft.
However, with such a solid foundation, Genichi was now absolutely certain he could complete the technique during this overdraft. He had even already thought of a name for the jutsu.
It would be called... the Flawless Fallen Body Technique (Murō Dōshin no Jutsu)!
He stood up and stretched his back.
Genichi took another shower, then returned to his bedroom and lay down on the bed.
He closed his eyes. With a thought, the overdraft panel in his mind immediately exploded into a brilliant ball of light.
A current passed through his body, every cell trembled, and his consciousness went blank for an instant.
Like a white colt flashing past a crack in a door, ten years passed in an instant.
Genichi opened his eyes, which were full of smiles.
Ten years! A full ten years!
From Konoha Year 46 to Konoha Year 56, from the age of ten to twenty.
Getting out of bed, Genichi stretched his body. He could clearly feel the surging power within him, and his stamina felt as vast as an ocean.
From ten to twenty years old—ten golden years of growth!
Before, his stamina and chakra ceiling were comparable to Jiraiya's. And Jiraiya's chakra capacity... could be said to be the ceiling for a normal person, at the same level as a Kage like Hiruzen. Of course, not the elderly Hiruzen. When Jiraiya fought Pain, he showed no signs of chakra exhaustion.
So far, among the ninja Genichi had seen, the one with the most massive chakra reserves should be the future Fourth Raikage, A. In this regard, Jiraiya was inferior, Hiruzen was inferior, Minato was a little behind, and Ina was also a little behind. The Fourth Raikage's chakra capacity was once described by Karin as being at the Tailed Beast level.
And in terms of chakra capacity, Minato was actually a little bit stronger than Jiraiya. Of course, Genichi didn't consider Minato a normal person; after all, he was someone whose genes could overpower those of the Uzumaki clan. Kushina's chakra capacity was also ridiculous, but she was also not in the category of a normal person.
"My chakra capacity now should be..."
Genichi could no longer use Jiraiya as a reference, because he had completely surpassed him. He needed another descriptor.
Tailed Beast level!
Of course, there were many Tailed Beasts. The more tails, the more chakra. Genichi had never seen the One-Tail, so it was hard to compare. The Nine-Tails... he hadn't seen it either. But he had seen a tiny bit of the Eight-Tails.
Genichi's gaze fell on the horn of the Eight-Tails within his body.
He walked to his study and stood in the center. A massive amount of the Eight-Tails' chakra gushed out from his body. Instantly, the surface of his body was covered in the crimson chakra of the Eight-Tails, forming a Tailed Beast Shroud. And behind him, tails formed from condensed chakra gradually appeared.
Seven tails!
This was the first time Genichi had used the full power of the Eight-Tails' chakra. Of course, manifesting seven tails did not mean he possessed half of the Eight-Tails' chakra capacity. This was just the most basic form of the Tailed Beast Shroud. The chakra from a single horn was probably only one percent of the Eight-Tails' total chakra.
Slowly retracting the chakra, Genichi roughly estimated his own chakra capacity to be about the same as that of the horn within his body. If he pushed himself to the absolute limit, in a life-or-death situation, it might be a little more.
The power of one horn?
"But this is not my limit. My body is still that of a ten-year-old. I'm still in my growth period. I can continue to overdraft in the future. I have at least ten more chances for my stamina to expand."
"What kind of state will I be in then?"
"Reaching, or even surpassing, Senju Hashirama shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Genichi was very much looking forward to it. Because he could also feel that with the horn sealed inside him, the chakra constantly leaking out through the Eight Trigrams Seal (Hakke no Fūin) was merging with his body, becoming his stamina, and was also constantly and subtly changing his body. This was the same as Naruto.
Why could a jinchuriki who had had their Tailed Beast extracted still use its power after being reincarnated with Edo Tensei? Could it be that they still had a Tailed Beast sealed within them after being reincarnated? Obviously not. It was because after years of sealing a Tailed Beast and merging with its chakra, their physical body was subtly influenced by it, causing the power of the Tailed Beast to gradually take root in their flesh. This was similar to how the Gold and Silver Brothers had eaten the flesh of the Nine-Tails and thus acquired its chakra. The former was a long-term, subtle change, while the latter was relatively crude, but the result was the same.
And the Eight Trigrams Seal (Hakke no Fūin) had the advantage of this subtle change being more gentle, more like a nourishing rain.
"Before, my biggest worry was not having enough chakra. But now..."
I can't use it all, I simply can't use it all!
A flower of a smile bloomed on Genichi's face. He felt that for a ninja, chakra was like money to a man. Money is a man's courage. Chakra is a ninja's courage!
With such a massive amount of chakra, he could go anywhere in the world! At this moment, his sense of security surged tenfold.
After evaluating the growth of his stamina, Genichi turned his attention to other areas.
First was Water Release.
Water Gun Technique (Mizudeppō no Jutsu), Exploding Water Colliding Wave (Bakusui Shōha), Water Current Whip (Suiryūben), Water Formation Pillar (Suijinchū), Water Body Flicker (Mizu Shunshin), Hardening Vortex Water Blade (Kōka Suijin), Great Water Dragon Cannon (Suiryū Daitetsuhō), Water Sand Severing Wave (Suisa Dampa), and the Water Dissolution Technique (Suiyō no Jutsu)!
He had added even more water ninjutsu this time than the last. Just from these ninjutsu and the feedback from his combat experience, it was easy to tell that the first few techniques had been copied from Mist ninja. The Water Gun definitely came from a member of the Hōzuki clan. It seemed his future self had clashed with the Mist ninja quite a bit during the Third Great Ninja War.
The Water Body Flicker, Hardening Vortex Water Blade, Great Water Dragon Cannon, and Water Sand Severing Wave were all original creations. The Water Body Flicker was, needless to say, a high-speed movement technique for use on water, combined with the Art of Pyo. The Hardening Vortex Water Blade, developed based on a game from his previous life, condensed rotating water into the shape of a javelin to be thrown. Its killing power was no less than the Water Severing Wave, and after it exploded, it would form a waterspout for a second wave of attack. Genichi wasn't sure if this jutsu was in the Scroll of Seals.
As for the Great Water Dragon Cannon... Genichi had not expected that the high-power water jutsu he had been longing for, one that could clash with a Tailed Beast, would be developed into this. One look at this ninjutsu and he knew it had referenced Hiruzen's Earth Dragon Bullet and Gamabunta's Water Gun, and was based on water jutsu like the Water Gun and Heavenly Weeping. Hiruzen's Earth Dragon Bullet condensed an earth dragon head, which then shot out rock spheres. Its power was considerable when combined with Fire Release. Gamabunta's Water Gun was a large water-sphere attack, very powerful, on par with the One-Tail's Wind Release. And the Great Water Dragon Cannon was to condense a water dragon, use it as a casting medium, and then shoot out a highly concentrated, large water sphere from its mouth. The reason he didn't use his own mouth was because a person's mouth wasn't big enough. This jutsu... Genichi felt it was still a bit lacking.
Then he looked at the Water Sand Severing Wave. This was actually an upgraded version of the Water Severing Wave. It wasn't a pure water ninjutsu, but a combination jutsu of Water and Earth Release, adding sand and gravel to the high-pressure water jet to enhance its cutting ability! This was clearly an application of knowledge from his previous life. So, he had mastered Earth Release nature transformation, although it wasn't strong, and his only earth jutsu was the Earth-Style Wall. He had developed Earth Release purely for this jutsu.
As for the Water Dissolution Technique, this was an unfinished water ninjutsu, and a projected S-rank powerful water jutsu.
"Nitroglycerin..." Genichi frowned secretly.
A water-based bomb! It certainly wasn't just pure water. It should be a non-Newtonian fluid, an oily, transparent liquid. This was the final goal of its development. The Water Dissolution Technique was just acidic water. Acidic water with dissolving properties, but not Lava Release. It was similar to Kamizuki Izumo's Water Style: Starch Syrup Capture Field (Suiton: Mizuame Nabara). That jutsu was highly viscous water, while the Water Dissolution Technique was sulfuric acid water. In the future, all of Genichi's water jutsu could be based on this, using acidic water to increase their offensive power, especially the Great Water Dragon Cannon.
Genichi wasn't very confident about the nitroglycerin direction. He wasn't sure if he could develop it with just Water Release. But it was very much worth a try. If he completed it, a new S-rank water jutsu would be born.
"It seems this will be the direction of my Water Release in the future!" Genichi savored the thought, his interest in researching water jutsu greatly increased. He counted the water jutsu he had mastered and found that he had, without realizing it, already reached twenty.
"The Mist Village should invite me to be the Mizukage!" Genichi felt that his water-style was now solidly at the Kage level. In the entire shinobi world, there should be no one with a stronger water style than him now.
"Hard work will not be in vain," Genichi said with emotion. Although he had a cheat. But working hard in the future was still working hard.
But his gains this time were far more than just this.
We won't talk about Earth Release. The key was in several other areas.
For genjutsu, the touch-depriving jutsu, the Flawless Fallen Body Technique (Murō Dōshin no Jutsu), was complete!
But there was another surprise.
Genjutsu: Binding God Technique (Bakushin no Jutsu)!
Genichi carefully contemplated this jutsu, which his future self had called a technique that deprived the "sixth sense." This so-called sixth sense referred to the spiritual will. The Binding God Technique could also be called... the Mind-Fixing Technique! This was the genjutsu that directly targeted the mind and consciousness that he had been longing for, similar to Tsukuyomi or Kotoamatsukami.
However, what made Genichi slightly regretful was that this was a genjutsu exclusive to the Sharingan, developed based on it, meaning it could only be cast with the Sharingan and required eye contact. For the time being, he couldn't cast this jutsu without eye contact.
And the reason this jutsu had been developed was because of two other secret techniques.
The S-rank Spirit Transformation Technique (Reika no Jutsu), which Dan Katō, Shizune's uncle and Tsunade's former lover, was famous for. The other was Senju Tobirama's soul-binding jutsu. This jutsu was only useful on a person who was about to die, a jutsu that bound the soul to the body and prevented it from entering the Pure Land, and was also one of the foundations of the Edo Tensei. Tobirama had once used it on a near-death Sasuke Uchiha.
These two jutsu were both ones that Genichi had planned to obtain. And it was precisely this that had given birth to the Binding God Technique.
"But why would I learn the Reaper Death Seal (Shiki Fūjin)?" Genichi was a little puzzled.
Yes, his future self had mastered this sealing technique. But a suicide jutsu like this clearly did not fit his style, nor was it in his original plan.
"Hmm?"
"It's related to the Nine-Tails."
Genichi thought to himself. This time, he had gained experience in sealing the Nine-Tails, and also experience in fighting it. The Nine-Tails' attack had still happened.
"The Nine-Tails..." Genichi slowly discerned the intentions of his future self, and his eyes lit up. "It's also related to the Spirit Transformation Technique!"
He now understood how his future self intended to use the Reaper Death Seal (Shiki Fūjin).
