Chapter 85: Level 11 Yang Release, Astonishing Changes! (Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Votes!)
"Reincarnation is a skill!"
Sighing inwardly, Sarutobi Asuma shifted his attention to the skill package.
This time, it was Tsunade's Monster Strength.
He directly received the infusion, advancing Monster Strength to level 4.
Monster Strength, this kind of ninjutsu-taijutsu, was not created by Tsunade, but originated from the Senju Clan.
It was a powerful chakra outburst technique that required extremely refined and high-level chakra control.
Sarutobi Asuma remembered that after Senju Tobirama was pulled out of the Shinigami's stomach by Orochimaru, he had displayed it, shattering a wall with a gentle press.
Senju Hashirama had also displayed it, unleashing chakra at will, shaking the earth.
During Orochimaru's first use of Impure World Reincarnation, the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, had even caught Sarutobi Hiruzen's Fire Style ninjutsu barehanded.
After digesting the information on Monster Strength ninjutsu-taijutsu, Sarutobi Asuma's gaze fell upon his Chakra Nature Transformation skill bar.
Level 6 Yang Release, 85%!
Over the past six months, his main focus had actually been Yang Release.
However, after completely mastering the Creation Rebirth technique, the progress in Yang Release chakra nature transformation had become negligible.
"Sister Tsunade's mastery of Yang Release is probably only around level 7."
"According to the System's evaluation, level 7-8 belongs to the Kage level, but in reality, such a classification should still be based on my understanding."
"For example, Tsunade has Kage-level strength, but her mastered skills may not all be Kage-level."
Sarutobi Asuma pondered inwardly.
He had been spending a lot of time with Tsunade recently, so he was very clear about her mastery of Yang Release.
Compared to his current level, it wouldn't be much different.
"From the Warring States period to the present, there have definitely been Kage-level Yang Release users. The only ones I know of are likely Senju Hashirama and Karin's Mother."
"The Senju Clan inherited the Yang power of the Sage of Six Paths, but where did the Sage of Six Paths' Yang power come from?"
"Did he cultivate it himself?"
"Or did he inherit it from Ōtsutsuki Kaguya, or did it originate from the God Tree?"
Sarutobi Asuma frowned in thought.
"Ōtsutsuki Kaguya herself possessed the Byakugan, and it was a very high-level Byakugan. Yang Release shouldn't be hers."
"Either she cultivated it later, or it came from the God Tree."
"However, the possibility of it being from the God Tree is greater!"
Glancing at his remaining 17 skill points, Sarutobi Asuma couldn't help but think, "Yang Release and Yin Style are quite special. One is related to the physical body, and the other is related to mental strength."
"If my Yang Release improves to the Six Paths level, can I possess the powerful physique of the Sage of Six Paths?"
Sarutobi Asuma was very tempted.
However, before that, he had raised his Chakra Nature Transformation to level 10, and his physique hadn't changed much.
It was only after mastering the Lightning Style Chakra Mode that his physique had shown a relatively significant improvement.
"Forget it, at this point, it's time to use the cheat. Continuing to cultivate might not even reach level 7 in ten years."
"Let's do it!"
Hard work pays off. Add points!
Four skill points were used at once, and a large amount of information flooded his mind.
Level 10 Yang Release, 85%!
It took Sarutobi Asuma a full 15 minutes to digest it, then he subconsciously refined his Yang Release chakra.
Instantly, every cell in his body was enveloped by Yang Release chakra.
Then, Sarutobi Asuma felt a difference.
It wasn't just the natural energy he had felt before.
There was also hunger!
Every cell transmitted a desire to consume.
This hunger made Sarutobi Asuma extremely uncomfortable, making him wish he could immediately go and eat a cow.
However.
This hunger was not the most surprising thing to Sarutobi Asuma.
What surprised him even more was that the desire to consume from his cells was targeted at natural energy.
His own cells wanted to eat natural energy!
This had never happened before.
You see, his Wind Style, Fire Style, and Lightning Style all reached level 10.
"Yang Release is indeed special!"
"But, can I really eat Natural Energy?"
"Even the Sage of Six Paths couldn't do it, right?"
"The only one who can is... the God Tree!"
Sarutobi Asuma opened his eyes, filled with shock, then swallowed.
"Let's try. With my current Chakra Amount and Chakra Control, if I'm careful, even if Natural Energy enters my body, it won't cause any major problems."
Sarutobi Asuma gritted his teeth, then lowered his gaze, concentrating.
However, when he was about to try absorbing Natural Energy, he stopped again.
After thinking about it, he assigned another skill point to Yang Release.
Yang Release level 11: 85%!
"Begin!"
Sarutobi Asuma lowered his gaze and clapped his hands together with a sense of ritual.
With Yang Release at level 11, his perception of Natural Energy was even clearer.
After concentrating and reaching a state of transcendental oneness, with a single thought, Natural Energy converged from all directions towards Sarutobi Asuma, entering his body.
At this moment, Sarutobi Asuma's body was still filled with Yang Release Chakra.
This was his precaution.
He remembered that Jugo naturally possessed the ability to absorb Natural Energy, which then led to Sage Transformation and going berserk.
This indicated that the human body could indeed absorb Natural Energy.
And Natural Energy had an erosive effect on the body.
The more perfect the Sage Mode, the less the Natural Energy affected the body.
For example, Naruto, Namikaze Minato, Senju Hashirama, and the Sage of Six Paths.
Especially the Sage of Six Paths, who didn't even have any eye shadow.
Jiraiya, Jugo, Kabuto Yakushi, and Orochimaru's research on Sage Transformation resulted in Cursed Seals, which altered their bodies; this was likely caused by the erosion of Natural Energy on the body.
Sarutobi Asuma's body absorbed Natural Energy, feeling both nervous and cautious.
If he showed any signs of Sage Transformation, he would immediately have the Natural Energy combine with his Yang Release Chakra, turning it into Sage Chakra.
However.
The Natural Energy that entered his body was quickly absorbed by his cells. Instantly, Sarutobi Asuma felt his entire body become incredibly comfortable, with a sense of satisfaction.
It was like being starving hungry and then suddenly having a table full of food to feast on.
Amazing!
It was truly amazing!
It wasn't just the physical pleasure.
It was also the unexpected change.
Sarutobi Asuma had never imagined that his body could absorb Natural Energy.
"Perhaps this is the true Sage!"
"Sage Mode is merely a power formed by the combination of Sage Arts and Chakra, a power from beyond the heavens."
"Perhaps it is due to this that the Toad Sage, Slug Sage, and Snake Sage have such long lifespans."
Sarutobi Asuma harbored many speculations in his heart.
Then, he finally felt completely at ease and stored all the extracted Chakra into the Yin Seal.
About 15 minutes later, Sarutobi Asuma felt "full."
His body's cells could no longer absorb or digest Natural Energy, so he quickly stopped absorbing Chakra.
Splash!
Sarutobi Asuma got out of the hot spring pool. He glanced at the System's status screen, but his Constitution attribute hadn't changed.
Sarutobi Asuma felt a bit disappointed, then pondered, "This should be similar to how humans eat and supplement nutrition; you can't get fat with one meal, and just eating won't make your body strong and robust."
"I should also train to continuously digest and improve my physique!"
With that thought, Sarutobi Asuma immediately ended his hot spring bath. He left a Shadow Clone to wait for Yūhi Kurenai, while his main body immediately went to his usual training spot.
Training began!
Frog jumps while holding a giant rock.
Handstand walks!
Running upstream against a waterfall with a giant rock!
Push-ups!
Each exercise broke the previous limit Sarutobi Asuma had set.
As Sarutobi Asuma trained, he also noticed that his Constitution attribute was increasing!
When Yūhi Kurenai arrived, she saw him sweating profusely, filled with excitement and exhilaration.
