I'm in Konoha, and I have ten skill slots.

[Thundercloud analysis successful, calculations commenced]

……

[Calculation complete]

In less than three seconds, Shiyu's various cloud formations were successfully calculated!

Dark clouds have the ability to produce rain and acid rain.

Snow clouds have the ability to produce snow and hail.

Thundercloud, needless to say, took a full two seconds to calculate, and can be used to release lightning using cloud escape.

This is real lightning, not a lightning release created by chakra manipulation.

Its power is quite different; it's a result of utilizing natural changes, essentially merging with the power of nature.

Of the three different cloud types, rain and snow seem to be the least useful because they cannot cause any significant damage.

However, Shigure felt that it could be used as a support ability, which would be very helpful in casting both Escape and Ice Release.

However, as things stand, while Cloud Escape is quite peculiar, Shigure senses a problem.

In one-on-one combat, these cloud-escape ninjutsu might not be of much help, but the ability to bring rain and snow can provide powerful assistance.

Cloud Release! Its most important ability lies in dealing with large numbers of enemies.

The ability to control the weather.

Let alone hail, acid rain, thunder, or anything like that, even just rain and blizzards dominate the weather.

That would be enough to cause heavy losses to a large group of ninjas.

More importantly, Shiyu thought of something that excited him even more.

Since it's a cloud, if its density were increased, wouldn't it become a cloud capable of supporting a certain weight?

Chapter 100 The Ingenious Idea of ​​Developing Cloud Release: Shigure

As soon as this idea came to mind, the Great Sage immediately began to analyze and calculate it.

Similarly, it basically takes less than three seconds.

[Calculation complete]

[Congratulations, host, on acquiring a new skill: Somersault Cloud!]

Upon hearing these three words, Shi Yu's eyes widened instantly, and her joy was overflowing uncontrollably.

Immediately afterwards, Shigure raised his hand and formed a hand seal.

As chakra surged, a cloud resembling a white cotton candy appeared before Shigure.

Shigure jumped up.

He immediately began to easily soar through the sky using the Somersault Cloud, and the speed of the Somersault Cloud surprised Shigure.

Pretty fast.

This is the ability to fly, although not by relying on wings or floating in mid-air.

However, the feeling of flying freely on the somersault cloud still made Shigure feel quite good.

If the increased density of the cloud-escape technique creates clouds with powerful buoyancy, capable of lifting things, then...

Then Shigure had a new idea.

"Flame Cloud!"

Although it's called Flame Cloud, it doesn't mean that flames are incorporated into the cloud. Rather, it's like the Four Emperors Kaido, creating a cloud that can lift an entire island.

"The Great Sage begins the analysis!"

[Great Sage: Analysis Complete]

[In theory, the flame cloud envisioned by the host can be successfully developed, but the actual chakra consumption will be enormous. With the host's current chakra reserves, it is insufficient to support the consumption unless the passive skill slot is utilized.]

As long as it can be developed, that's fine. Just because we can't afford that level of consumption now doesn't mean we can't in the future.

In short, you should calculate and master it first, and if all else fails, you can rely on the passive skill bar to make Cloud Escape costless.

[Calculation in progress]

[10%]

Finally, the percentage figures appeared! I thought it would be completed instantly again!

However, even with the percentage figures displayed, it didn't take much time.

The calculation was completed in just over ten seconds.

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired a new skill: Cloud Escape - Flame Cloud]

Shigure tried to create a cloud of flames, but the cloud he created was black.

The color doesn't matter much; what matters is being able to lift incredibly heavy objects.

Shiyu controlled the fiery clouds and began to seep into the ground.

Subsequently, as Shigure's chakra was continuously depleted, one-tenth of her chakra was consumed in a short period of time.

In return, a piece of land about fifteen meters in diameter was completely lifted up by the flames.

It seems that lifting an island or a mountain as imagined is not a problem; the only problem is the consumption of chakra.

This can be addressed temporarily using the skill bar.

The successful development of Flame Cloud made Shigure even more interested in developing Cloud Escape.

As previously mentioned, the clouds created by Cloud Release possess most of the abilities of Boil Release and Ice Release.

So, if increasing the density of clouds gives them a certain carrying capacity, can we also make the clouds condense into a shape that doesn't disperse?

The specific approach is actually based on two figures.

Both are characters who use smoke abilities in Shigure's memories. One is Smoker, the user of the Smoke-Smoke Fruit in the One Piece world, and the other is Morel from the Hunter x Hunter world.

Both of them use smoke as their power.

Although Shigure's ability is called "cloud," based on the current situation, it can also do what smoke can do.

Especially after the successful condensation of the somersault cloud, the gas that forms the cloud can be solidified!

The strength of clouds could even reach that of iron, potentially creating cloud iron!

"Great Sage, please analyze and calculate!"

[Analysis in progress: The host's idea is feasible, but the power of Cloud Escape needs to be continuously enhanced.]

To enhance the power of Cloud Escape, simply add it to your skill bar and start training like crazy. I believe that even if you don't reach the level of Cloud Iron, achieving the strength of wood shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[Calculation in progress]

[Congratulations, host, on mastering a new skill: Cloud Escape - Cloud Solidification Technique]

[Cloud Release ~ Cloud Solidification Technique: Abandoning the effects of Boil Release and Ice Release, this technique increases the resilience and sturdiness of Cloud Release, creating an unbreakable cloud that can effectively trap enemies while providing powerful defense.]

[Calculation in progress. Congratulations, host, you have acquired a new skill: Cloud Release - A derivative ninjutsu of Cloud Solidification Technique, Cloud Cage]

【Cloud Release ~ Cloud Cage: Creates an extremely tough and sturdy cloud cage to trap enemies. Although it has no offensive capabilities, once trapped, enemies will find it extremely difficult to escape.】

Having developed Cloud Release to this point, Shigure feels that there is still much room for development in this escape technique!

It seems that Shigure no longer needs to think for himself; the Great Sage just now calculated and developed the derived Cloud Release ninjutsu.

not bad.

Since that's the case, let the great sage calculate it!

Let the Great Sage perform the calculations. In the end, from all the calculated ninjutsu, you can select the useful ninjutsu or the ninjutsu with the correct direction and ideas for further calculation.

That would solve everything!

"Great Sage, let's begin now. Based on the ninjutsu I have mastered, let's conduct a comprehensive calculation of Cloud Release."

"Calculate all ninjutsu, including offensive, defensive, and supportive ones. Each calculation should produce at least ten ninjutsu. For example, calculate ten offensive ninjutsu at once, and each ninjutsu must be 30% different."

..... ....... ...

[Great Sage: Understood, let the analysis begin]

[Estimated initial calculation time: 6 hours for 10 skills]

Six hours to learn ten skills? That's not bad.

If we calculate based on the three directions of attack, defense, and support, then one round of calculation takes six hours, and four calculations can be performed per day.

Let's see how many useful ninjutsu techniques we can obtain after four calculations!

The development of Cloud Release will stop here for now; these ninjutsu should be enough for Shigure to familiarize himself with for a while.

The next thing to do is rest.

It wasn't that Shigure was tired, but rather that she had made arrangements with Shikamaru and the others today, since each class had basically completed their first mission after becoming genin.

We should get together properly.
