Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 95 Body, Soul, Chakra, the Trinity

"Once you understand the soul, the rest is much simpler."

Genma laughed and said, "As we all know, chakra can carry our spirit and will."

"Let's return to the foundation of this technique, which is to integrate our spiritual will into the refined chakra, and then condense it into a physical form. This is the spirit body."

"Because of our own chakra, the soul can exist even after leaving the body and will not enter the Pure Land. You can understand this as chakra replacing the body and becoming the container of our soul and spirit."

Silent and Fennel suddenly realized, "I see!"

"That sounds pretty simple," said Jingyin.

Genma shrugged: "The principles of any ninjutsu, if broken down, actually don't seem difficult, but in practice, they are not necessarily so."

"This is what they mean by 'easier said than done'!"

After explaining his understanding of the art of spiritification to the two women, Xuanma raised his hands and formed a hand seal: "Now let's try it out."

Fennel exclaimed in surprise, "So fast?"

"I'm quite skilled in Yin Release techniques."

Genma chuckled, forming hand seals as he guided his spiritual will to combine with the chakra within his body, shaping it into a form identical to his physical form.

Finally, Xuanma clasped his hands together in prayer.

Immediately afterwards, Shizune and Fennel opened their eyes wide and watched as a glowing spirit leaped out of Genma's body.

"That's amazing!"

A silent gasp escaped.

Fennel nodded in agreement.

In less than an hour, he had mastered an S-rank ninjutsu.

This was far beyond their imagination.

Genma glanced at his own body sitting below and said, "Because strictly speaking, this also belongs to Yin Release ninjutsu."

In this respect, he does indeed have an unparalleled advantage as a transmigrator who has been reborn.

The spirit separated from the body, and Xuanma swooped down. The spirit, like countless particles of light, entered Huixiang's body without hindrance.

Fennel instinctively looked down at herself, then realized her body was out of control. Immediately afterward, Xuanma's voice rang out: "Sister Fennel, focus your mind and will."

Fennel immediately did as instructed, and then in her spiritual world, she saw the Wind-Riding Black Horse.

"Lord Genma, is this the power of the Spirit Transformation Technique?"

Fennel was curious and shocked.

Genma smiled and said, "Controlling your body is one thing, but that doesn't count."

"Everyone has a world of the mind. Chakra can connect the minds of two people. As long as there is spiritual communication, it can be manifested."

After saying that, Xuanma disappeared.

He was just testing the power of spiritification.

After leaving Fennel's body, the spirit floated in mid-air, and Xuanma made a second attempt.

Refining Sage Chakra!

It's incredibly smooth, without any surprises.

Xuanma had actually anticipated this.

Because when he modified the chakra extraction technique, he made it possible to extract chakra directly from mental energy and natural energy, without the need for physical energy.

Previously, when he used Sage Mode, it was always in this state, rather than a 1:1:1 ratio of spiritual energy, physical energy, and natural energy.

"So, is this the state the Sage of Six Paths is in right now?"

"Or is he actually capable of doing what a tailed beast does?"

Xuanma secretly guessed.

After all, the tailed beasts were created by the Sage of Six Paths. Although they largely rely on the Ten-Tails' chakra, this can also indirectly verify the Sage of Six Paths' Yin-Yang Release technique.

The Sage of Six Paths possessed no less chakra than the Nine-Tails, and the quality of his Sage Chakra was extremely high.

After thinking for a moment, Xuanma gathered his thoughts and returned to himself.

This is a good situation. At least if an accident happens one day, as long as it is not attacked by a technique based on Yin-Yang Escape, even if the soul is destroyed, the soul can still remain in the mortal world in this way, even if the physical body is seriously injured and cannot be cured.

If one can master the form of a tailed beast, one can reshape one's own physical body.

Of course, this probably requires extremely high mastery of Yin-Yang Escape.

I'll take a look at Orochimaru's information first.

This guy has studied the Eight-Tails, so he must have some knowledge of it. Perhaps we can learn something from him.

If all else fails, then use cheats!

The spirit returned to its body, and Xuanma put away the scroll: "Alright, this technique is now complete."

Shizune took the reel: "That's way too fast!"

Amazement and admiration.

Xuanma liked that look and asked, "Do you have any plans to cultivate this technique?"

"It doesn't necessarily have to be used for combat; it can also help to boost morale and improve focus."

Both Mute and Fennel shook their heads.

"It sounds simple, but it must be very difficult to master. We also need to learn medical ninjutsu!"

Silently chuckled.

Genma didn't press the matter, and after thinking for a moment, said, "How about we go to a hot spring together? It's been a long time since we've been."

Shizune's eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, it's been a long time since I've been there!"

She turned to Fennel and asked, "Fennel, why don't you come along too?"

"? Me—that—"

Fennel didn't know how to refuse for a moment.

Should I go with you guys and be a third wheel?

Shizune excitedly got up to pick fennel, and then they went out together to soak in the hot springs.

Of course, mixed bathing is impossible.

However, the two baths were separated by a wooden wall, and the sounds of laughter from next door could be heard clearly.

Soaking in the hot spring, listening to the laughter of beautiful women, what a treat!

Tsunade was quite busy today, and I didn't see her all afternoon. Genma, on the other hand, had a rare moment of leisure, spending time with Shizune and Kumin.

Of course, he was the one who had the leisure, while his shadow clone worked like an ox or a horse.

As evening approached, Genma stopped downstairs at his apartment building, then turned and walked into an alley diagonally opposite.

In the dim light, Orochimaru stood there with a smile on his face.

"Senior, are you done with your work so quickly?"

Genma greeted him with a smile.

Orochimaru nodded, then said, "Come with me."

The two of them leaped through the crimson glow, one after the other, moving away from the bustling areas of Konoha, and finally entered the dense forest behind the mountain, eventually arriving at a laboratory hidden underground.

Here, Genma saw the eight-tailed horn that Orochimaru had cultivated, contained in a huge glass jar.

Of course, the most numerous items are various snake specimens.

After admiring Orochimaru's collection, the two went to a data room.

An open scroll was already on the table.

"The information is here; please read it here, Genma-kun!"

Orochimaru laughed.

Xuanma nodded and pulled up a stool to sit down.

Orochimaru vanished with a loud thud; it turned out to be a clone.

Xuanma ignored it, lowered his head to read the materials, and quickly became engrossed in them.

It is obvious that Orochimaru was unable to master the Yin-Yang Release technique, but he did gain insight into the mysteries of tailed beasts by studying the Eight-Tails.

Orochimaru also wanted to apply this power to his own body.

That's amazing! Absolutely amazing!

Genma secretly admired Orochimaru's talent.

If it weren't for his cheat codes, he really should have clung to Orochimaru's coattails.

After Orochimaru was stripped of his title, Kabuto inherited his legacy and became the Sage Kabuto.

Of course, Kabuto Yakushi was also very powerful, further perfecting the Impure World Reincarnation technique and learning the Ryuchi Cave Sage Mode, which Orochimaru could not master.

Two hours passed by in the blink of an eye.

Xuanma let out a long breath and looked away from the scroll.

According to this information, Orochimaru's research is not yet complete, but Genma judges that it is at least halfway done.

Orochimaru now, beneath his human skin, is indeed a non-human monster.

This is from the perspective of its life form.

Even genetically speaking, it is no longer human.

Besides snake genes, this guy probably also has eight tails inside him.

Unfortunately, this path is not suitable for him.

Xuanma could not possibly modify his own body in this way.

Besides, if you're using cheat codes and also modifying your body, wouldn't that be a waste of cheat codes?

"If we don't modify it or change the settings, we'll have to use the Yin-Yang Escape Technique."

Xuanma pondered to himself: "Matter is transformed into energy, and energy is transformed into matter. In this process, matter can be transformed into matter through energy."

"The unity of body, mind, and chakra requires Yin-Yang Release, but Water Transformation and the elemental transformation I want, such as Lightning Transformation, do not necessarily require Yin-Yang Release."

Orochimaru's information greatly inspired Genma.

To become a life form like a tailed beast is extremely difficult.

However, if it is temporary, transforming the physical body into chakra energy and then changing its nature, that is, changing the material into an element, the difficulty can be reduced dramatically.

Although it is actually very difficult to do.

Currently, in the ninja world, Genma only knows of two abilities similar to elemental transformation.

One of them is the water transformation technique of the Hozuki clan in Kirigakure.

The other one is the ninja clan related to Yamato, who can turn into smoke.

This is not a bloodline limit.

But it's not just bloodline limits that are passed down through genes.

Chakra properties and special physical constitutions can be passed on to the next generation through genes.

When the first person achieves water transformation, his descendants will find it easier to do so than others, and may even master it naturally.

This is the mystery of genetic inheritance.

"I should first achieve elementalization —"

Xuanma has outlined the key points.

He remembered that Orochimaru had also studied the Hozuki clan and the Mist Clan.

It seems we can now cross the river by following Orochimaru's lead.

"Genma-kun, how is it?"

Orochimaru's voice came from behind.

Genma turned around and saw Orochimaru standing at the door.

"The gains were enormous."

Genma stood up with a smile: "I shared a point of view with Lady Tsunade before."

"Studying ninjutsu is actually studying the process of creating matter using chakra as a form of energy."

Orochimaru immediately became interested upon hearing this: "That's a very interesting point."

Xuanma also became interested in exploring the matter: "Senior, do you know the Yin-Yang Escape Technique?"

Orochimaru's eyes flickered: "Heh, I know a little, but even in Konoha, information about Yin-Yang Release is extremely scarce."

Genma explained his point of view: "I've discussed this with Tsunade and the others. Based on the nature of chakra, all types of ninjutsu contain yin and yang."

"The transformation of form and the transformation of nature in ninjutsu refer to both physical form and material properties. Water Release simulates the liquid state of water and its inherent properties."

"If it possesses both form and properties, then it is equivalent to creating matter, even if only temporarily."

Orochimaru smiled and nodded: "That's right, indeed."

"My self-created snake-based ninjutsu matches your description."

"Yin-Yang Release can create life. Yin Release gives form, and Yang Release gives life. Life is indeed the greatest characteristic of mankind."

"Genma-kun, you have eyes that can see through the essence of things."

"It took me a long time to understand this principle."

Genma enjoyed the flattery and then suggested, "Senior's research is not yet complete. Perhaps you could study the Hozuki clan of Kirigakure."

Orochimaru raised an eyebrow: "The Water Transformation Technique?"

Genma nodded: "Ordinary ninjutsu involves transforming chakra energy into matter through changes in form and nature, such as water..."

The soil and trees, when the ninjutsu ended, the created soil and water disappeared, or rather, returned to energy.

"This is the process of energy being converted into matter, and then matter being converted back into energy."

"The Water Transformation Technique is the transformation of the physical body into energy, energy into matter, and the release of the technique involves the transformation of matter back into energy, with the energy returning to the physical body."

"If you can figure this out, I think it will be of great help to your human body modification."

Orochimaru was quite surprised, his gaze growing even more intense, and he couldn't help but say, "I must say, Genma-kun has an enviable mind."

This deal yielded unexpectedly large results.

Genma, already used to Orochimaru's burning gaze, shrugged and said, "Sorry, it's innate."

"However, ideas are one thing, but turning them into reality is not so easy."

Orochimaru, however, was even more confident than he was: "I believe Genma-kun will not disappoint."

Genma smiled, then took out a blank scroll and wrote down the training method for the Wood Release Chakra Mode for Orochimaru.

Tsunade has never learned it; if Orochimaru could, that would be truly amazing!

After leaving the experimental base, Xuanma glanced at the [Settings Collection] and found that he had gained 10 more setting points.

This also pushed his target value above 100.

Aunt Snake, keep it up! Keep causing trouble!

Having missed the mealtime, Genma wandered alone to Ichiraku Ramen, and as soon as he sat down, he saw two familiar faces next to him.

"Oh, it's Red and Asuma!"

Genma greeted him with a smile.

Sarutobi Asuma sensed the teasing in the voice and felt slightly embarrassed.

Kurenai Yuhi retorted directly: "Genma, why are you alone? Where's Shizune?"

Genma shrugged: "We don't necessarily have to be together all the time!"

"How have you guys been lately?"

Seeing Yufeng Xuanma make fun of himself, Sarutobi Asuma felt relieved and said, "As for missions and training, if there's any change, it's that the intensity of missions has increased recently."

"Moreover, because of the outbreak of war, I may have to go to the battlefield."

"You're really something else. Even the Third Raikage wasn't a match for you."

Xuanma shook his head: "It can only be considered a draw."

Kurenai Yuhi exclaimed, "That's incredibly astonishing! The gap between them and us is just too vast. They're not like we were from the same generation at all. They're completely without pressure now!"

Previously, the pressure came from Genma and Kakashi.

Now that the Wind-Riding Mystic Horse is so powerful that its back is no longer visible, there's no pressure on it anymore.

Upon hearing this, Genma couldn't help but tease, "If Hong wants pressure, that's not out of the question."

"After we finish our ramen, let's try our illusion magic duel!"

Kurenai's eyes lit up: "No problem."

"The ramen's on me!"

Genma immediately said to Ichiraku Otsutsuki, "Uncle Ichiraku, another bowl!"

Kurenai Yuhi confidently replied, "No problem."

Genma decided to increase Kurenai's strength later as a reward for her two bowls of ramen.
