I am Jinshan Youxia

Under the dim light, Might Guy, who was awake but completely unable to move, lay limply on the tatami mat, his eyelids uncontrollably half-open and half-closed. Even the most resilient mind was filled with despair at this moment.

His muscles and bones were shattered; he should have died. It must have been the enemy who saved his life with medical ninjutsu.

No one can heal such injuries. Even Tsunade, who returned to Konoha and saved her disciple Rock Lee, probably couldn't do anything about it.

"You're awake."

Zhang Chengyi appeared in Might Guy's line of sight with a smile, "Come on, let's try something new."

As he spoke, he formed a hand seal, and a strange surge of chakra flowed into the shadow. The figure on the ground slowly began to wriggle and gradually made contact with Might Guy's shadow.

The Blue Beast of Konoha, who should have been completely unable to move, found itself slowly getting up and sitting cross-legged on its broken body.

He was making the exact same movements as Zhang Chengyi on the other side.

【This is impossible!】Matt Kai shouted in his heart. He knew his physical condition best. Putting aside why the other party could use the Shadow Binding Technique, even the Shadow Binding Technique couldn't control an inanimate object.

What difference is there between his body and an inanimate object?

Are you surprised?

Zhang Chengyi looked at Might Guy, who was laughing just like him, and offered an explanation:

"The principle of puppetry is to control others with chakra threads. I don't know puppetry, but I understand the principle. Moreover, I figured out the principle of shadow binding technique and developed a low-end version."

"Although it lacks the strong immobilization effect of the original Shadow Binding Technique due to the nature of chakra, it incorporates the characteristic of injecting more chakra."

“Essentially, we are connected through shadows. My chakra is glued into your body, controlling every piece of your body, making you imitate me.”

"Hmm, I could control you if I wanted to, but that would be too wasteful of computing power. It's more convenient for you to imitate me."

【lie】

Might Guy was even more skeptical. To control every piece of his shattered body by injecting chakra into his shadow—how much chakra would that require? Probably only a tailed beast could do that.

The guy opposite had a peaceful chakra, which was completely unlike the ominous and violent feeling of tailed beast chakra.

Unfortunately, he was not a sensory ninja and could not speak, so he naturally had no ability to expose the other party's lie.

Zhang Chengyi didn't care what Might Guy was thinking. When he felt like it, he explained a few things and felt really awesome. Having experienced so many power systems, his understanding of power systems had long reached a level that ordinary people couldn't even comprehend.

It's not some idealistic or strange system. Chakra is too simple. After exploring its characteristics and learning some basic knowledge and ninjutsu, it's extremely easy to deduce more applications of chakra.

With his powerful computing capabilities, developing bloodline limits and secret techniques is a piece of cake; it's not difficult at all.

The difference between the Otsutsuki and ninjas in the Naruto world is too great. Even if you can make the most of ordinary ninjutsu and chakra, the Otsutsuki's Truth-Seeking Balls simply say: "[Can nullify any ninjutsu]", which is useless.

Zhang Chengyi hasn't come into contact with natural energy yet, and his body isn't some kind of monster with innate, powerful senses capable of exploring it. Besides, judging from the comics, natural energy is extremely difficult to control and requires exceptional talent; he's unsure if he can learn it.

Even scientists like Orochimaru, who have mastered the chakra system, couldn't understand natural energy. The cursed seal he created was just a low-end version of Sage Mode. Even geniuses like Minato Namikaze weren't good at Sage Mode, which shows that the barrier to entry for this thing is quite high.

Unless you use a lot of computing power, it's too complicated. It's better to keep it simple and straightforward.

Physical skills.

Anyway, Might Guy demonstrated how he almost killed Madara Uchiha with a single kick, and Kaguya was also beaten by Kakashi and the other three with taijutsu, proving that simple and brutal physics still applies.

Then there's nothing more to say, just keep exploring the depths of physical techniques.

Zhang Chengyi understood the Shadow Binding Technique and the Expansion Technique, analyzed the effects of chakra, and converted Yin Release and Yang Release chakra into forms that were neither correct nor significantly different from the normal versions. He developed corresponding ninjutsu and obtained information about chakra and techniques by reviewing the manga plot in his memory. He also repeatedly deduced through calculation. By the time he was robbing someone and listening to their ninjutsu, he had already completed the summary of theoretical knowledge.

During the time it took for him to strategically retreat back to the Kamui dimension after fighting Might Guy, he even managed to unleash Yin-Yang Release chakra.

Based on his logic, he naturally came up with a whole bunch of rough, physical enhancement plans.

To date, one of the most suitable solutions for Might Guy, whose entire body has been shattered, is body energization.

As the name suggests, this plan involves completely energizing the body, just like the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki who is suspected of being energized, and the Tailed Beasts that are confirmed to be energized.

Once this plan is finalized, it will truly become a miniature tailed beast. Even if it can't have as much chakra as a tailed beast due to its size, it will still far surpass that of humans.

It's almost as if you're already a top-tier character once you reach full potential, capable of exchanging blows with anyone. The downside is that there's probably no upper limit to how far you can go.

Chakra requires both mental and physical strength to synthesize. The manga also shows the fate of chakra created solely from mental power when the physical body is gone:

That would be turning into a mindless monster that chases after flesh.

Zhang Chengyi happened to have transformed the somewhat abnormal Yin Release and Yang Release chakra through his understanding of chakra. Even if they were both versions of what he thought they were, they might not be much worse than the original. After all, it was a property he created by wasting his computing power.

The most ingenious thing is that his version of Yin Release and Yang Release chakra can devour other chakra to strengthen itself, and can be converted into each other under certain conditions, which just meets the basic requirement of non-Ten-Tails Jinchuriki's body energy transformation.

"Remember this feeling," he reminded him, then forcibly energized Might Guy by injecting chakra into his body.

Yin Release chakra is transformed into Yang Release chakra, and then the chakra created by spiritual power is swallowed by Yang Release chakra, and transformed back into a one-to-one Yin-Yang chakra.

Might Guy's arm was quickly dissolved by the overly brutal special version of Yin-Yang Release chakra, but it was restrained into a physical form by Zhang Chengyi's even more terrifying ordinary chakra.

That's right, the Yin-Yang Release chakra he created is just the foundation; to really fight, he still needs his endless chakra as the outer layer.

Just like how the Six Paths Elder created the nine tailed beasts.

Zhang Chengyi controlled his Yin-Yang Release chakra to erode the remaining chakra in Might Guy's body, then gradually changed the form of this ordinary chakra...

Soon, he discovered something even more amazing.

soul!

Chapter 442

"The soul isn't actually the source of spiritual power..."

As a Muggle, Zhang Chengyi naturally couldn't touch a soul, but sensing it was already very important. His Yin Release chakra clearly made contact with Might Guy's soul, thus discovering something interesting.

Combining the depiction in the comics with his own personal experience, he quickly realized one thing—

Strictly speaking, spiritual strength and physical strength are not closely related to the soul.

Because he, as a soulless game modifier, can still create chakra, it proves that spiritual power and physical power are merely two different forces symbolizing the body.

Let's deduce that a mere soul shouldn't possess power; otherwise, the Naruto world would be in chaos long ago if people could still use their powers after death. White Fang waited for his son Kakashi on the road to the Pure Land, while Rin could only silently watch Obito, unable to speak, let alone display her power.

As a pioneering character in debodyification, the puppeteer Sasori was ultimately unable to completely replace his physical body with a puppet. Instead, he used his heart as material to create a regeneration core, preserving his nerve tissue and chakra circuits so that he could generate chakra.

It is clearly impossible to completely lose one's physical body while retaining one's strength.

However, the souls that die and enter the Pure Land can still possess power when they are resurrected through Impure World Reincarnation. Note that the power of the resurrected dead is not given by the impure body; the manga mentions that different bodies simply allow them to exert more power.

Finally, the Sage of Six Paths summoned a large number of Shadows to bring the main characters back, demonstrating that souls possessing power is something that can only be acquired upon entering the Pure Land.

However, there was one exception: Obito, who had just died in the Fourth Shinobi World War, didn't even go to the Pure Land after his death, but lent his power to Kakashi...

The power at the Six Paths level is suspected to be inextricably linked to the soul.

Madara Uchiha, who became the Ten-Tails' Jinchūriki, was almost kicked to death but was able to recover quickly. He could also recover quickly after losing half of his body. The half of his body that fell off even became the passage for the Sage of Six Paths to come to the human world. Of all the people who died, only half of Madara Uchiha's body could serve as a vessel.

The soul of a person at the Six Paths level may have undergone a mutation, which an ordinary physical body cannot bear, and it is highly likely that a body that is suspected to be energy-based is required.

Soul, body, energy...

Zhang Chengyi narrowed his eyes, and Might Guy, who was in sync with him, also narrowed his eyes.

"You're really lucky." The two of them opened their mouths at the same time, but only his voice came out.

He originally planned to use his unique Yin-Yang Release, employing a scorpion-like approach, to simulate a heart with highly condensed chakra, while preserving nerves and chakra circuits. This would create an energy-based puppet, whose power would not increase further, and the possibility of becoming stronger would be extremely low, unless someone was willing to inject a large amount of chakra comparable to that of a tailed beast.

Now, the unexpected touch on his soul has given him new ideas and thoughts.

If you use the soul as the core, and use a large amount of Yin and Yang Release chakra to create a body through a low-powered compressed version of the Expansion Technique, and then use the soul as the core to seal his Yin and Yang Release chakra inside, you can artificially create a 'Gold Mountain Ranger' Jinchuriki. Then, you can slowly energize the body. In the process, you might be able to observe why the human soul can become stronger after being energized.

Conversely, it is also possible that the human soul is enhanced first, and then the body can be energized.

Perhaps we can find out exactly how the gap between the Super Shadow and the Six Paths came about.

In any case, it's much more interesting than simply converting the physical body into energy.

Upon realizing this, Zhang Chengyi changed the plan without hesitation.

With the support of his massive computing power and the continuous supply of chakra, the entire operation was completed in about a few hours.

Without considering the maximum output at any given time, in terms of chakra, he has the most in the entire world, without exception. After all, even the Ten-Tails, no matter how strong, cannot have as much chakra as him. Moreover, Kaguya was reminded by Black Zetsu that she didn't have enough chakra during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

At first, there were indeed some minor problems due to insufficient chakra, but later, with the injection of too much chakra, everything was resolved.

Chakra, isn't that amazing?

"Boom!"

The moment Might Guy's reconstructed body took shape, it lost a large amount of chakra support and crashed through the tatami mat and floor, sinking into the ground.

The issue of chakra weight doesn't need much explanation. If it were one's own chakra that was diffused and not so concentrated, the weight would naturally not matter. However, more than 99% of the chakra in his body was not his own, and it was highly concentrated and completely uncontrollable. In terms of weight, it must weigh at least tens of tons.

Correspondingly, its strength is also incredibly powerful, and its hardness is even more outrageous.

The original Expansion Technique was a temporary creation of a physical body, and its duration was related to the amount of chakra. Zhang Chengyi's low-end version was inefficient and the creation method was rudimentary, but thanks to the support of unlimited chakra, Might Guy's body could maintain the Expansion Technique for at least several hundred years, and carrying tens of tons of weight was a piece of cake.

Once you get familiar with it and do some simple development, it represents pure numerical values.

"Interesting. Chakra, mental power, interesting."

Zhang Chengyi had no time to pay attention to Might Guy, who had just fallen into the ground. He reached out and released his chakra, a thoughtful expression on his face.

He gained a lot of inspiration during the entire surgery and unexpectedly discovered many characteristics of chakra during several hours of high-intensity chakra output.

The most interesting thing is that after using chakra for a long time, he can throw out highly condensed chakra and let it drift and attach to other people, just like Ashura and Indra's chakra attaches to Naruto and Sasuke. It contains some memories since he logged in. With the modifier's certification of 'split body', he can still connect with the detached chakra invisibly.

"Should I become a personal grandpa, impersonate the system, or simply..." A whole bunch of random and interesting ideas popped into his mind.

Then it went back to how to obtain the Sharingan, Rinnegan, and various bloodline limits, bloodline elimination techniques, and secret techniques.

Simply playing with chakra in fancy ways is useless; you need a way to use it. There are limits to amplifying an ordinary body. You either need to modify your body or have something like the Mangekyou Sharingan that can convert chakra into abilities.

He could study it on his own, since he had a pretty good grasp of chakra and creating ninjutsu wouldn't be difficult. However, he could use existing methods instead of wasting a lot of computing power on deduction. The power system in this world wasn't that high; even the main villain Kaguya in the main manga wasn't invincible. It was an entertainment world, so there was no need to waste too much computing power.

"Never mind, let's test Might Guy first."

Chapter 443 Two-way journey

Three days later, within the territory of Kusagakure Village.

"Heave-ho! Heave-ho! Heave-ho!"

The Mattka frog hopped forward, making strange noises.

Zhang Chengyi sat on the back of a large tiger, following behind, expressionless, his thoughts entirely focused on the large amount of chakra he had released.
