On the night of the Nine-Tails, I shattered the Tailed Beast Ball with a single punch.

"Hyuga Neji, I'll remember you. Hello, my name is Tenten." After receiving Neji's reply, Tenten returned a friendly smile and introduced herself.

Neji nodded slightly to indicate that he had also remembered Tenten's name.

The teacher arrived at the classroom quickly.

"Hello, if nothing unexpected happens, I will be your homeroom teacher for the fourth grade of elementary school. My name is Fujita Masakazu. Like you, I am a newcomer. My hobby is fishing. Please take care of me from now on."

Fujita Shoichi smiled and introduced himself to his students, writing his name on the blackboard.

The newly enrolled children were extremely curious about the legendary ninja academy, and they eagerly bombarded Fujita Masakazu with all sorts of questions.

Fujita Masakazu answered as many questions as he could with what he knew, but there was nothing he could do about the ones he didn't know.

Seeing that more than ten minutes of class time had passed, Fujita Masakazu felt that the time was almost up, so he quickly said, "Alright, everyone, let's stop asking questions for now. You know who the teacher is, but the teacher doesn't know your names yet."

Fujita Masaya glanced at the students and instructed them to come up on stage in a vertical line, from beginning to end and then from end to beginning, to introduce themselves.

"My name is xxx. My favorite food is grilled meat. I hate green peppers. My dream is to become a great ninja like Nagasawa."

"My name is xxx. I like reading and I hate people who make a lot of noise regardless of the occasion. My dream is to become a great ninja like Nagasawa."

Children kept coming up to introduce themselves, talking about their hobbies and dreams.

Most people dream of becoming Hokage or assisting Hokage. Hokage is because that's how it's always been in Konoha, and everyone respects Hokage and wants to become Hokage. Assisting Hokage is because of Nagasawa.

Looking at his peers on the podium, all saying they wanted to become great ninjas like Nagasawa, Neji gained a new understanding of Nagasawa's reputation.

'How lucky I am to be taught by Nagasawa-sensei,' Neji thought to himself.

Having been taught by Nagasawa, Neji no longer clings to any notion of destiny; he only believes in his own strength and in what Nagasawa taught him.

"My name is Rock Lee. My favorite food is very spicy curry rice. I don't have any particular dislikes. My dream is to become a great ninja who doesn't use ninjutsu or genjutsu!" Rock Lee earnestly stated his dream on the podium.

Rock Lee knew during the entrance exam that his chakra talent was extremely poor, and the teachers who tested him advised him not to enter the ninja academy but to go to a regular school instead.

Because of such chakra talent, even if Lee puts in three or four times the effort of an ordinary person, he still can't catch up with the training progress of ordinary people. In the end, even if he graduates, he will only be a genin for ten thousand years.

Nowadays, Konoha doesn't only offer the path of becoming a ninja, so the teachers at the Ninja Academy advised Rock Lee, bluntly stating that his talent was very poor, and that learning even a ninjutsu or genjutsu would be extremely difficult, making it hard for him to survive in the ninja profession.

However, Rock Lee is a person who is unwilling to admit defeat. His dream is to become a great ninja to protect Konoha and pass on the Will of Fire. How could he be easily persuaded to quit by the test teacher? Rock Lee resolutely enrolled.

Even if he can't learn ninjutsu and genjutsu, he can still become a great ninja by relying on taijutsu!

Although Rock Lee's talent was poor, he barely met the admission standards. Seeing that Rock Lee was very persistent, the testing teacher didn't say anything, thinking that Rock Lee would understand his good intentions after suffering enough.

"A great ninja who doesn't use ninjutsu or genjutsu? That's impossible. Even Nagasawa Suke is a ninjutsu master." Some children thought Rock Lee was daydreaming when they heard him say that.

Illusion techniques are fine; he's never heard of any famous ninja who doesn't know how to use ninjutsu.

"Can a ninja who can't use ninjutsu really be called a ninja?" one child asked, expressing his doubt.

Neji looked up and took a closer look at Rock Lee after hearing his words, then lost interest.

He didn't think that not using ninjutsu or genjutsu was a big deal, but based on Neji's observation, this guy named Rock Lee was too ordinary in strength, which Neji could tell even without using his Byakugan.

Perhaps because Rock Lee's speech was so unique, the students present started discussing it.

Lee Rock blushed when he heard those negative words, but he didn't rush off the stage as if fleeing because of them. Instead, he silently made a vow in his heart.

'I will prove to you that you can become a great ninja even without mastering taijutsu and genjutsu!'

"Alright, everyone, please be quiet. Every student's dream deserves respect. Next student, please come up." At this moment, Fujita Shoichi stepped forward, smiling as he asked the students present to quiet down.

At this age, the teacher's influence is still quite strong. The chaotic discussions in the classroom were instantly suppressed, and the orderly self-introductions began again.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tenten. I like all kinds of ninja tools. As for things I dislike, I hate sour things. I like eating meat buns. My dream is to become a great female ninja like Tsunade."

Although she is a girl, the lively Tian Tian showed no timidity at all on the stage, and completed her self-introduction with a bright smile throughout.

Because Tenten had spoken to Neji before, Neji paid a little attention to Tenten's self-introduction.

If I had to say something, there's really nothing special about it; Konoha just has a few iconic figures.

They either become a Hokage like the previous Hokage, or they become a Hokage as strong as Nagasawa to assist him. As for girls, it's usually Tsunade, because there aren't many famous female ninjas to begin with, and Tsunade is already quite famous in the ninja world.

However, because Tian Tian showed great enthusiasm and cheerfulness when introducing herself, her otherwise unremarkable self-introduction became more distinctive and easier for people to remember.

Most people in the classroom today probably have this impression of Tian Tian: "She is a very lively and cheerful girl."

Because Neji and Tenten were in the last row, Neji was introduced after Tenten.

Neji calmly walked to the podium, looking at the students below with an indifferent expression, showing neither nervousness nor excitement.

Neji's calm and composed demeanor attracted the attention of many female classmates, and coupled with his good looks, they immediately developed a liking for him.

"I am Hyuga Neji. What I do most often is training. My dream is to completely change the Hyuga clan."

After saying that, Neji walked away calmly, without saying anything about liking or disliking anything.

"Neji is so charismatic, and he's also very ambitious; he actually wants to completely change his clan." Some girls were discussing Neji.

The boy next to the girl didn't think so. He didn't sense any special qualities in Neji; he just thought the guy was pretentious. And when it comes to dreams, is there anything greater than becoming Hokage or assisting the Hokage?

"Neji, your self-introduction was really good." Tenten praised Neji with a smile when he returned to his seat.

Neji nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"I think I've talked too much. Will everyone think I'm a chatterbox and not quiet at all?" Tenten looked troubled and then started talking to Neji like crazy.

Neji: ...

He really wanted to tell Tiantian, "Never mind your self-introduction, you're definitely being a chatterbox right now."

……

Yongze checked his points balance and realized he had accumulated another 1.5 million points. He then prepared to use his points to develop the fusion of spiritual power and chakra in the simulation space.

Because the prosperity level has not yet reached the requirement to obtain a new template, Nagasawa has increased the Captain-Commander's fusion level to the limit of 90% for points allocation. The points can basically only be used for training or exchanging for things like Devil Fruits and Zanpakuto.

Nagasawa has already exchanged quite a few powerful Devil Fruits. His Zanpakuto is cheap because it's an Asauchi, and it doesn't cost many points, so Nagasawa has basically used up most of his points for training.

Because Nagasawa believed that if a method could be developed to combine spiritual power with chakra, not to mention all ninjas, even the stronger ones would definitely be able to advance further.

Perhaps because these are two different systems from two different worlds, Nagasawa faced great difficulties in development. In the end, he was inspired by the Rasengan and made a breakthrough, eventually developing the powerful Shinigami Rasengan.

However, Nagasawa was not satisfied with this. He didn't want just one or two ninjutsu; at the very least, he wanted a constant burst of power like Sage Mode.

Since he had accumulated a large number of points and had no template to allocate them for the time being, Yongze used the points to systematically simulate the space to cultivate the fusion of spiritual power and chakra, just like when he cultivated Sage Mode.

Without even blinking, Yongze threw one million points into the simulation space.

He felt he had reached a critical point and might be able to break through completely this time, so Yongze did not hold back on points at all.

Points are meant to make him stronger and Konoha stronger; it would be problematic to leave them unused.

With one million points invested, the effects were immediate. Yongze's thoughts raced wildly within the simulation space, his spiritual power and chakra constantly shifting, and his aura became even more terrifying.

"So that's how it is." As the simulation was about to end, Yongze finally understood, his aura reached its peak, and gray mist began to appear around him.

After the simulation ended, Nagasawa couldn't wait to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport to a mountain in the Land of Fire and begin experimenting with his development results.

Following his experience in the simulated space, Yongze began to guide his chakra with spiritual power, then controlled the two forces to merge within his body, ultimately transforming them into a completely new power.

Whoosh!

Yongze merely made a small display of his power, and instantly stirred up a huge storm that crushed the forest and swept up passing birds.

Nagasawa carefully sensed the strength of this new power and experimentally tested it a few times, comparing it with his strength in Sun Breathing Sage Mode.

In the end, Nagasawa concluded that his current strength was about 1.2 times that of his Sun Breathing Sage Mode, which was a significant improvement.

After all, once you reach his level of strength, advancing further is as difficult as climbing to the heavens.

Nagasawa named this new chakra, which was combined with spiritual power, Shinigami Chakra, and the state of using the new chakra was Shinigami Chakra Mode.

To combine chakra with spiritual power to form Shinigami chakra, the key lies in guiding spiritual power and having ultimate control over chakra, which requires even more control than Sage Mode.

In Sage Mode cultivation, one must comprehend the power of nature and then control the combination of natural energy and chakra in a specific ratio.

If not controlled properly, it can lead to an excess of the body's natural abilities, resulting in petrification.

Nagasawa has an extremely profound understanding of Sage Mode because his Sage Mode is developed by combining the strengths of three different schools and based on his own experience. In the process, Nagasawa has gained a lot of insights.

That's why Nagasawa felt that the Shinigami Chakra Mode was more difficult than the Sage Mode.

Nagasawa possesses the ultimate control over chakra; the only word to describe him is "ultimate."

Because spiritual power is related to mental energy, it is very easy for it to become entangled with chakra, causing the chakra spiritual power to become chaotic. This is why an explosion occurred when Nagasawa tried to fuse chakra spiritual power.

To achieve an orderly combination of spiritual power and chakra into Shinigami chakra, one must possess extreme control and fuse them according to the proportions that Nagasawa has experimented with countless times.

Although it's difficult, the Death God Chakra Mode is also much more powerful.

Nagasawa conducted a simple experiment and found that the ninjutsu released by the Shinigami chakra was incredibly powerful and extremely destructive.

Even ordinary sealing techniques gain unique sealing abilities when released using Shinigami chakra.

However, not all Shinigami Chakra Modes are better than Sage Mode. According to Nagasawa's experiments, while Shinigami Chakra Mode is strong, it's not as comprehensively strong as Sage Mode, which also increases recovery effects. The body's recovery effect in Shinigami Chakra Mode is the same as in normal mode.

However, Nagasawa was already quite satisfied. He possessed immense spiritual power and powerful spiritual pressure, which meant that he could use the Shinigami Chakra Mode for an extremely long time.

Furthermore, you don't need to worry about being unable to use Sage Mode in places without natural energy.

Chapter 583 Might Guy's Itchy Hands

"Since the Shinigami Chakra Mode doesn't completely overwhelm the Sage Mode, and they are different domains of chakra application, is it possible to use both the Shinigami Chakra Mode and the Sage Mode simultaneously?" Nagasawa's imagination ran wild as he came up with a way to dramatically increase his strength.

In a sense, this is not impossible.

Naruto can use both Nine-Tails Chakra Mode and Sage Mode simultaneously.

Although using Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Chakra Mode simultaneously is not entirely equivalent, Nagasawa felt it was still very instructive.

For example, Naruto is so arrogant because there is a Nine-Tails inside him that tirelessly and continuously supplies him with tailed beast chakra and sage chakra.

Nagasawa does not have a tailed beast inside him, but he can store Sage Chakra.

Nagasawa would accumulate Sage Chakra on weekdays, then enter Shinigami Chakra Mode during battle, and then use the stored Sage Chakra to enter Sage Mode, thus successfully trapping the opponent.

While this method can enhance strength, Yongze felt it wouldn't bring about a qualitative change in his power. This simple and crude approach would ultimately result in a situation where one plus one is less than two but greater than one.

After all, even with Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, Naruto didn't directly reach Six Paths level strength; he still needed the Six Paths to defeat him.

However, since Nagasawa believes that this approach can greatly increase his strength, it is naturally not just a simple and crude nesting method.

Nagasawa had an even more outlandish idea: to fuse Sage Chakra with spiritual power to enter Shinigami Chakra Mode 2, or even to fuse Sage Chakra with Shinigami Chakra to enter Sage-Shinigami Chakra Mode.
