Konoha, reported by the Fourth Hokage at the start.

Chapter 9 The Difficulty of Developing the Perfect Transformation Technique

To avoid attracting the attention of the ninjas guarding the barrier, only small animals like real birds can pass through it without drawing attention.

Birds in nature do not have chakra.

Therefore, the ninjas who sensed the protective barrier would assume that the bird was not transformed by a ninja or controlled by another ninja, and thus ignore it.

Because if the bird is transformed by a ninja or controlled by a ninja, then the bird must have chakra.

As long as chakra exists, it will inevitably be sensed by the barrier.

This is the sensory barrier of the five great ninja villages, with an incredibly strong ability to sense chakra.

Almost no enemy ninja could break through silently.

But once you have the perfect transformation technique, everything becomes easy.

The bird transformed by the Perfect Transformation Technique is a real bird, containing not a trace of chakra.

When freely entering and leaving the villages of the Five Great Ninja Villages, they will not be identified as enemy intruders by ninjas with sensory barriers, thus avoiding attracting attention.

In this way, Takuya Kimura, who has mastered the perfect transformation technique, can directly go deep into each village to collect information.

Furthermore, by transforming into a small bird or similar creature to approach enemy ninjas, they will not be alerted, making it easier to gather useful intelligence.

Furthermore, the fact that birds can fly means that Takuya Kimura, who possesses the perfect transformation technique, has also become a ninja who can fly.

You should know that there aren't many ninjas in the Naruto world who can fly; you can count them on one hand.

In critical moments, being able to fly can save your life.

Therefore, ninjas who can fly are, in a sense, already invincible.

After all, when faced with a dilemma, one can simply fly away as a sign of respect, leaving the enemy with nothing but helpless eyes to watch them disappear into the distance.

Even in the sea, it can perfectly transform into a fish and swim in the deep sea to evade the pursuit of enemies.

The atmospheric pressure in the deep sea will automatically prevent any enemy from getting close.

The key is that whether it perfectly transforms into a fish or a bird, because there is no chakra present, chakra-sensing ninjas cannot sense it.

Once out of sight, it is difficult for any ninja to catch up, making it an excellent escape tool.

If used for assassination, the Perfect Transformation Technique is also a great weapon, since without chakra, it is difficult to make people wary.

It can be said that the perfect transformation technique can not only be used for infiltration and intelligence gathering, but is also an excellent tool for assassination and escape.

Gathering intelligence and escaping through assassinations are essential duties for ANBU ninjas.

A perfect transformation technique, perfectly compatible with Anbu ninjas.

"It's no wonder that Takuya Kimura wanted to research and create the perfect transformation technique; it's indeed a ninjutsu that's very suitable for ninjas in an organization like the Anbu!"

Li Yao sighed inwardly.

"Such a perfect ninjutsu, it would be a shame to stop here."

Li Yao's heart stirred, and he made up his mind to inherit Takuya Kimura's research and create the perfect transformation technique.

We are currently in the period between the First and Second Shinobi World Wars.

Moreover, it is highly likely that the Second Shinobi World War is not far off.

Li Yao didn't know if he would be taken to the battlefield.

However, if a perfect transformation technique could be created before that.

So regardless of whether he is taken to the battlefield, when surrounded and facing the need to escape, the perfect transformation technique will be his safest means of escape.

Mastering the perfect transformation technique will greatly improve his safety.

"But such powerful ninjutsu shouldn't be so easy to create, right?"

Li Yao frowned slightly, guessing, and continued to flip through the notes with some trepidation.

As he expected, the idea of ​​a perfect transformation was good, but it was difficult to realize.

There are too many difficulties in transforming the transformation technique from a visual deception technique to a perfect transformation technique that involves material conversion.

Takuya Kimura first studied the material transformation from the perspective of the Substitute Technique.

As is well known, the Substitution Technique is actually just a clone technique, like the Water Clone Technique and Sand Clone Technique. It is not a space-time ninjutsu that allows you to switch places with a piece of wood.

Otherwise, Sasuke's unique ability "Amenotejikara" from his Six-Tomoe Rinnegan would be too cheap.

In reality, the so-called Substitution Technique is merely a ninja tactic used in battle to release a clone at the right moment to attract the enemy's attention while the user remains hidden and waits for an opportunity to strike. It is not a true ninjutsu.

What Takuya Kimura actually wanted to study was the principle behind the clone technique performed using wood.

The clone technique in the Three Bodies Technique is different from the wooden clone technique in the Substitution Technique; they are not on the same level of ninjutsu.

The clone technique in the Three Bodies Technique is actually a series of illusory clones of oneself. In a sense, the clone technique is also an application of the transformation technique, except that the illusory clones transform into one's own appearance.

Therefore, the clone technique in the Three Body Techniques is just a form created by chakra transformation; it has no weight and naturally no offensive power.

They are unable to engage in strenuous exercise and can only perform very simple movements in place. If they encounter a strong impact, they will shatter like a high sand dune.

So, how can we make the clone technique work like a normal person while also having a certain sense of impact and attack power?

The answer is to use wood as the center to perform the transformation technique, allowing the clone illusions to attach to the wood. In this way, the illusory clone illusions are stabilized by the wood, making them not only less likely to be broken, but also able to have the weight of wood through the connection of chakra.

In this way, when the clones fight and collide with the enemy, the sense of physical impact is more realistic, making it easier to deceive people.

Takuya Kimura's research on wooden clones aims to understand how wood, through chakra, gives phantom clones a lifelike, physical impact, and what the connection is between the two.

In his notes, Takuya Kimura explained that after studying the wood clones for a period of time, he understood the principle behind them.

Chakra is not only energy, but also a special energy channel that can transfer the "weight" of wood to phantom clones, and then give the phantom clones weight based on the phantom clones.

This doesn't involve material transformation, but there's already a hint of it.

"Chakra can be imbued with certain properties of matter."

Following this line of thought, Takuya Kimura replaced the wood with a living bird, and used the bird as the center to perform a transformation spell.

If we could convert the weight of the bird into the weight of its phantom clone.

Going a step further, could we transmit information such as the bird's cells to the phantom clone, so that the phantom clone also has cells and becomes a normal living person?

The answer is clearly yes, it is possible.

In the first stage, Takuya Kimura failed to use the clone technique with birds, even with dead birds.

Unlike stable wood, whether the bird is alive or dead, chakra cannot transfer "weight" to the phantom clone to form a stable bird clone.

Without breaking through this step, the transformation of matter cannot begin.

But this step is too difficult.

The notes are mostly records of various experiments conducted by Takuya Kimura in this step of his research.

Even so, Li Yao flipped through the pages to the very end but still couldn't find Kimura Takuya's breakthrough.

But he didn't gain nothing.

Kimura has a fairly credible hypothesis based on his research experiments.

The reason why chakra cannot transfer the weight of the bird to the phantom clone is because the bird, like a human, has physical and mental energy within its body.

Chakra itself is formed by the fusion of physical energy and spiritual energy.

Therefore, when his chakra enters the bird's body, it will also be subtly affected by these two energies.

It's impossible to output the weight of the bird in the same way that you can output the weight of the wood when you're inside the wood.

To achieve a stable output of the bird's weight, Takuya Kimura speculated that the bird's physical and mental energy needed to be in a stable state.

But this is not possible.

Physical and mental energy are constantly changing, like the water in a flowing waterfall. A waterfall that appears still may have different water levels at different times; it is always in a state of flux.

Therefore, it is impossible to stabilize the bird's physical energy and mental state.

It is impossible to stabilize the bird's physical and mental energy.

If one can synchronize their chakra with the bird's physical and mental energy at all times, then theoretically it is possible to stably transfer the bird's weight to the phantom clone.

But that's also impossible.

Not only could Takuya Kimura not do it, but it would be difficult for others to do it as well.

Humans can't even accurately perceive their own physical and mental energy, let alone the changes in a bird's physical and mental energy.

"That's really difficult."

Upon seeing this, Li Yao subconsciously shook his head. Putting himself in his shoes, he couldn't do it either. He could only accurately perceive his own spiritual energy and its changes, but he was powerless to do anything about the bird's body.

Keep watching.

After failing at this step, Kimura did not give up; he changed his approach.
