Konoha: Starting with Sage Mode

He needs to continue improving his intelligence, upgrading his brain's CPU, and further enhancing his mental arithmetic abilities, his ability to learn sealing techniques, and his control over chakra.

These are his advantages that set him apart from Chizuru and Nawaki.

Since weaknesses cannot be resolved in a short time, we should continue to strengthen our strengths.

Chapter 24: Greatly Increased Strength

Kirito added the enhancement points to the Wisdom attribute again, and the suffix number immediately changed from 4 to 5.

At the same time, his brain was once again struck by a sharp pain.

This time the pain was much worse than the last time. In just over ten seconds, he was soaked in sweat, his face turned deathly pale, he almost fainted, and blood was flowing from his nose.

However, after the pain comes an incredibly sweet reward.

He concentrated his mind and mobilized the chakra within his body.

Soon, a dark-colored chakra with a cold aura appeared on his right hand.

This is Yin-attribute chakra.

"I didn't expect to gain such benefits after improving my virtuous attribute. My yin attribute chakra nature has naturally developed."

Kirito looked at the ball of Yin-attribute chakra in his hand and a surprised smile appeared on his face.

Yin Release Chakra is a type of chakra that creates tangible things from the intangible; it is essentially a spiritual force.

His intelligence improved, which obviously indirectly strengthened his mental power.

He then withdrew his Yin-attribute chakra and closed his eyes to carefully experience the benefits of his enhanced intelligence.

A moment later, he opened his eyes again and slapped the ground.

The next moment, a large number of sealing techniques formed by chakra spread rapidly across the ground, and then formed a complex sealing technique in just a few seconds.

Sealing Technique: Triple Lamp Array!

success.

This sealing technique is an upgraded version of the One-Style Lamp Array, formed by superimposing it three times. Its binding power is far stronger than that of the One-Style Lamp Array, enough to bind a Jonin for several seconds. Moreover, its range is larger than that of the One-Style Lamp Array, and it can bind several enemies at the same time.

However, the complexity of a triple light array is much greater than that of a single light array.

To give an example, a single-layered light array is like a linear equation, while a triple-layered light array is like a cubic equation; the difficulty is on a completely different level.

Before this, Kirito could also successfully set up this sealing technique, but it would take at least thirty seconds. Such a sealing technique would obviously be difficult to play a significant role in a life-or-death battle where time is measured in seconds, and could only be used as a trap to be set up in advance.

But now, Kirito has successfully set it up in just three seconds, which is already a possibility for its use in actual combat.

After his intelligence was enhanced once again, Kirito's mental arithmetic ability received another astonishing boost.

If Kirito's mental arithmetic ability was previously like a single-core processor, it has now been upgraded to a dual-core processor, greatly improving its performance.

As a result, Kirito's chakra manipulation ability was further enhanced.

He quickly completed the hand seals on the spot and unleashed Lightning Release: Lightning Ball.

In an instant, a large number of electric balls appeared, far more than when he had just fought Rope Tree.

This is proof of his further improvement in chakra manipulation. He can now create more electric balls with the same amount of chakra, which is a result of his improved chakra manipulation and increased chakra usage efficiency.

Then, he extended his right hand and began to mobilize his chakra.

A large amount of chakra spun in his right hand, eventually forming a Rasengan the size of a thumb.

Although this Rasengan is small, its power is obviously considerable. As soon as it was completed, it stirred up the surrounding airflow, forming a small whirlwind around Kirito.

The Rasengan is the ultimate form of chakra transformation, and using it to train chakra control is an excellent way to do so.

Therefore, Kirito trained in the Rasengan to improve his chakra control.

With his excellent chakra control, he was certainly capable of successfully mastering this A-rank ninjutsu long ago.

However, as an A-rank ninjutsu, the Rasengan consumes a great deal of chakra, requiring at least the chakra level of a Jonin to release it normally.

Kirito was previously unable to successfully unleash the Rasengan due to insufficient chakra.

Now that his chakra manipulation ability has been further improved, greatly increasing the efficiency of chakra use and significantly reducing the unnecessary chakra loss caused when releasing the Rasengan, he finally succeeded in releasing the Rasengan.

Although the Rasengan in Kirito's hand was pitifully small at the moment, there was no doubt that he had successfully mastered the Rasengan.

"I successfully used the Rasengan with normal genin-level chakra. I wonder where my chakra control ranks in the whole of Konoha. It shouldn't be low, hehe."

Kirito looked at the small chakra ball in his hand and smiled slightly, a sense of pride rising in his heart.

With his current exceptional chakra control, he will find it much easier to learn various ninjutsu in the future, and when releasing ninjutsu, he can significantly reduce chakra consumption, effectively increasing his chakra reserves.

Kirito didn't linger too long after successfully mastering the Rasengan. He quickly withdrew the miniature Rasengan and began to close his eyes to meditate and refine his chakra.

A few minutes later, he reopened his eyes and took out a psychic card from his person.

Spiritual Spell - Release Technique.

The next second, an iron rod wrapped with a lot of iron wire appeared on the ground.

"Give it a try, I feel like this time it might work."

Kirito looked at the strange iron rod on the ground with an expectant expression, then picked it up and released a large amount of lightning-attribute chakra.

In an instant, under Kirito's control, lightning-attribute chakra clung to the iron rod and flowed along the numerous wires attached to it.

During the process, lightning-attribute chakra was transformed into high-voltage current.

A blinding electric spark immediately burst forth on the iron rod.

Soon after, some black iron filings began to emerge from the ground and float in mid-air.

"Looks like it worked."

Kirito watched as black iron sand continuously emerged from the ground, and he was overjoyed.

By utilizing the principle of electromagnetism, and then using lightning-attribute chakra to simulate the process of electromagnetism, and then using powerful mental calculation abilities to manipulate the magnetic field, the ultimate goal of controlling the iron sand in the earth can be achieved.

This is the Magnet Release ninjutsu that Kirito is currently trying to develop.

Ever since he successfully mastered lightning-style chakra, he has been researching this Magnet Release ninjutsu.

Therefore, he has been working hard to study electrical engineering.

Unfortunately, he was never able to succeed because the magnetic field generated by electromagnetism was too difficult to control.

That's for sure. Normal Magnet Release is a special chakra with magnetic properties that is generated in the human body. You can easily control the iron sand by attaching this chakra to it.

However, Kirito relies on the magnetic force generated by electromagnetism, which is a much more complex process that requires not only excellent chakra control but also strong mental calculation ability.

This was the first time Kirito felt he could control the magnetic force generated by electromagnetism without any pressure.

Next, Kirito began to try manipulating some iron sand to make some simple shapes, shaping them into kunai, shuriken, walls, and other forms.

But after completing just a few simple sculpting sessions, he felt weak all over and his head was spinning.

At this moment, the high-voltage current on the iron rod also disappeared.

He had very little chakra left in his body.

"Although I was able to control the magnetic field generated by electricity thanks to my greatly improved mental calculation ability, my current chakra reserves are far from sufficient to complete this ninjutsu."

Kirito, enduring the discomfort caused by excessive chakra depletion, sighed helplessly.

However, his eyes were shining with excitement.

The most difficult first step has been taken; now all that's needed is to continuously improve the level of application.

Chapter 25: Mito's Determination

While Kirito was testing the changes in his strength brought about by his increased intelligence, Mito Uzumaki was at home giving Nawaki a hard flick on the forehead.

With a scream, Rope Tree was sent flying, crashing through the wooden wall and finally slamming heavily against the courtyard wall.

"It hurts."

Rope Tree got up from the ground, clutching his head and groaning in pain.

When he got home, he asked Mito about the bounty on his head and what Kirito had told him before. Instead of being comforted, he was scolded and beaten.

Rope Tree is suffering right now.

But at least he didn't cry. He just glared angrily at the beautiful grandma in the room who was giving him a kind smile, then stuck out his tongue, made a face, and ran away to complain to his friends.

"Ah, what a silly child. He has only just learned to crawl and he already wants to run."

Mito watched Nawaki's departing figure and sighed deeply.

Nawaki and Kirito were training for combat on the Senju clan's land, so their conversation had naturally reached her ears long ago.

Therefore, when Rope Tree came over and asked her about the bounty, she didn't say anything, but instead smacked Rope Tree on the head.

"Young Master Rope Tree is just too young. He will definitely be sensible when he grows up."

Senju Momoka brought in a tea table, then brewed a cup of hot tea for Mito and said respectfully.

"Momoka, do you think I've spoiled Nawaki too much? He's become such a worry. What if I go to see Hashirama one day and no one can control him anymore? He might graduate early and go to the battlefield on his own initiative. What will happen then?"

Mito took a sip of tea, looking sullen and worried.

Tao Hua didn't know how to answer, so she chose to remain silent, her face also showing a worried expression.

This is true; Mito really spoiled Nawaki too much.

In fact, not only Mito, but the entire Senju clan doted on Nawaki.

As Hashirama's grandson, Nawaki was the hope of the entire Senju clan and received their deepest love.

This love is more than just pampering.

To ensure his healthy growth and happiness every day, the entire Senju clan silently sheltered him from the wind and rain, keeping out all the malice from the outside world.

However, from the current perspective, while their actions allowed Rope Tree to grow into a healthy child with excellent values ​​and inherit the pure Will of Fire, they also left him mentally immature.

If Nawaki were just an ordinary child, there wouldn't be anything wrong with that.

Children should be innocent and adorable like this.

Being too precocious is actually not good.
