The Dimensional Tavern of the Mefilas Alien

In this light, Murphy's claim that he has thoroughly grasped the mysteries of chakra may not actually be an exaggeration.

However, while the threshold for transferring chakra isn't high, it's not a simple matter. Everyone's physical condition and mental state are different, and randomly transferring chakra, aside from the losses involved, could have unpredictable effects on the recipient.

Jiraiya's eyesight was excellent; Sakurai Kageka's unsteady gait and simple demeanor made him appear to be an ordinary person with no special abilities.

Unfortunately, in an attempt to demonstrate his sincerity, he had just extracted a large amount of chakra in one go. Even if Murphy truly understood the mysteries of chakra, he had never received ninja training, and such a direct transfer of chakra might potentially harm the young man in front of him.

Jiraiya felt a pang of guilt. He knew he shouldn't have tried to win Murphy's favor by not asking any questions!

Jiraiya rose, preparing to aid Sakurai Kagekazu. Although he wasn't a medical ninja, he possessed the talent of Yang Release, and thus had learned a couple of simple medical ninjutsu techniques. Using them in a critical moment might just save Kagekazu's life.

However, as soon as he stood up, Sakurai Kagekazu's eyes returned to normal from a blank expression.

Sakurai Keikazu lowered his head, looking at his hands in disbelief.

"Power! I feel like I'm bursting with power right now!"

Feeling the knowledge suddenly appear in his mind, Sakurai Keikazu couldn't help but bring his index and middle fingers together and cross them in front of his chest to form a cross, making a Ren seal.

"Oh!"

A cloud of smoke dissipated, and Sakurai Keikazu suddenly became two.

"Shadow Clone Technique?!" Jiraiya and Naruto exclaimed in unison.

Chapter 83 The shop manager doesn't abandon him, and Jinghe is willing to become his godfather!

"That's amazing!" Jiraiya's eyes were full of curiosity.

Indeed, the third generation left Weekly Shonen Jump in the manga corner of the bar. Anyone interested could borrow it to read.

If Sakurai Keikawa had been to the pub before, it wouldn't be surprising if he had seen the hand seals for the Shadow Clone Technique there.

However, ninjutsu is not something that can be used simply by having chakra and hand seals. Even his former teammate, a genius like Orochimaru, had to understand the specific principles behind a technique before he could learn it.

The only exception might be the Uchiha clan. After awakening their Sharingan, members of that clan can copy their opponents' ninjutsu using its abilities. However, that's only because they use their Sharingan to see the flow of chakra within the corresponding ninjutsu's meridians.

Could it be that the shopkeeper not only obtained my chakra, but also my memories?

Jiraiya, as expected of one of the Legendary Sannin, guessed the truth in an instant.

Although modern ninjas no longer use chakra as a tool for connecting minds, it's still common for them to sense each other's emotions through the interaction of chakra. Not to mention, various villages have methods for acquiring memories through ninjutsu. Therefore, it's not surprising that Jiraiya could guess it.

"So, big brother, you're a ninja too?" Naruto, however, wasn't so quick-witted: "Are you also a Konoha ninja? But I've never seen you before!"

"Idiot, he's obviously not from our ninja world."

You can tell from Sakurai Kagekazu's temperament that he is different from the ninjas.

Peaceful times in the ninja world are few and far between. Even in times without war, bandits and robbers are rampant, and killing is constant. Therefore, even among the pampered sons of noble families, few possess the naivety of Sakurai Kagekazu.

However, judging from Sakurai Kagekazu's clothing and behavior, he was clearly not from a noble family. The fact that he could cultivate such a naive personality at least proves that the environment he lived in was, on the surface, extremely peaceful.

But Naruto just scratched his head, completely oblivious to the fact that Jinghe looked different.

Jiraiya sighed deeply: "This old man has really given me a huge headache!"

But he had no intention of giving up. Seriously, this was the true child of prophecy, and Minato's son at that!

He just felt he needed to spend some time broadening Naruto's horizons. Otherwise, how could Naruto, so naive, be a good Seventh Hokage?

Jiraiya had this feeling after watching Boruto.

It's good to care about the village, but for a village leader to work himself to the point of near death from overwork goes beyond reasons like love for the village and diligence. It clearly demonstrates a lack of political awareness!

The Third Hokage bought a lot of books from Gintoki, and Jiraiya saw a sentence in one of them that he thought made a lot of sense: "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles."

If Naruto wants to become Hokage, he can't just increase his strength without increasing his intelligence!

……

"Waaah!"

Despite instinctively using the Shadow Clone Technique, the two Sakurai Keikakus were startled when their eyes met.

"Wait!" Jinghe thought carefully for a moment: "I just... used ninjutsu?"

"Was I originally a shadow clone?" The clone Jinghe also found it very novel.

He touched the table and chairs next to him: "They actually feel real!"

"Really?" Jinghe's main body cautiously poked the clone.

"Ah, it itches!" Jinghe, the clone, dodged.

"How amazing!" The two Jinghe exclaimed, their eyes sparkling. "Manager, did you teach me these ninjutsu techniques that I have in my head?"

“That’s right. You entered the bar in broad daylight. You’ll definitely be discovered once you get back. But now that you’ve learned ninjutsu, it won’t matter. You can use ninjutsu to avoid being seen.”

Murphy did this to help Sakurai Keikazu resolve his worries. Coincidentally, in the original storyline, Sakurai Keikazu's knight form was a ninja. So he came and taught him ninjutsu from Naruto.

"Thank you, store manager!"

Now Jinghe had no doubt about the authenticity of the drinking party.

With just a tap, he can teach you so many amazing ninja techniques. What kind of prank show could do that? If such a prank show really exists, then please give us a whole bunch of them!

"But you have to be careful. Your chakra is limited. If you squander it recklessly, it will be depleted very quickly. Once your chakra is exhausted, you will die immediately!" Murphy specifically reminded him, lest he get too excited and kill himself prematurely.

Murphy was still looking for some entertainment. He was curious to see what kind of trouble Sakurai Kei, who had mastered all of Jiraiya's ninjutsu, would stir up in that world. He was even more curious about how the DGP, which held Desire Grand Prix everywhere in that world, would respond.

Should we incorporate them, turn them into enemies, or ignore them?

'This is really exciting!'

Murphy couldn't help but chuckle.

Sakurai Kagekazu was so moved that he couldn't speak.

"Manager..."

He had only taught Murphy how to make a bowl of buckwheat noodles, and yet Murphy had granted him such immense power, even giving him special reminders. He truly felt undeserving of such kindness.

If there weren't other people around, and if he weren't a little shy, he would have wanted to become Murphy's godfather.

Since his parents passed away, only his older sister, Sara, has been so kind to him in the whole world. And now, he feels a fatherly warmth from the shop manager, whom he has only met once.

"It's nothing, just a small matter!" Murphy said dismissively. He was unaware of Jing He's dangerous intentions, so he simply said to him gently, "Don't disappoint me, Jing He!"

“Yes!” Sakurai Keikazu nodded firmly with a resolute look in his eyes.

The store manager likely possesses the ability to read minds. Therefore, he probably also knows that his dream is indeed world peace.

Under these circumstances, the fact that he taught him such a powerful ninjutsu and told him not to disappoint him... all these factors combined mean there's only one truth!

Sakurai Kagekazu understood everything.

The store manager also hopes to become a true champion of justice!

"Don't worry, manager, I will never let you down!"

Murphy was absolutely certain that Sakurai Keikazu had misunderstood, but he had no intention of explaining.

That's good, it makes things more fun.

In fact, with Jinghe's words, he wasn't afraid even if Belial dragged Father of Ultra along to cause him trouble later.

Is he wrong to help righteous young people eliminate the evil future humans who manipulate time and trample on wishes?

Even if this lawsuit brings down the Space Garrison, he's still in the right!

"Manager, how did you manage to teach this young man the Shadow Clone Technique in an instant?"

Jiraiya was more interested in the underlying principles.

The strategic significance of this technology is immense. Judging from the manga's plot, both Konoha and the ninja world will face many crises in the future. If Konoha could master this technology, it might be able to prevent many tragedies from happening in the future.

Chapter 84 The Essence of Chakra

Murphy looked at Jiraiya with a strange expression when he heard his question.

Jiraiya was somewhat puzzled. Had he asked too presumptuously?

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. If this technology were in the ninja world, it would definitely be a closely guarded secret among the major ninja villages. Any outsider who dared to even glimpse it would be hunted down to the ends of the earth. Although the old man said that the tavern manager was very generous, such strategically important technology is clearly not something that can be easily revealed to outsiders.

Just as he was about to apologize, Murphy spoke up leisurely:

"This is just a basic application of chakra."

"what?"

Jiraiya's eyes widened; he couldn't believe his ears.

"It seems you ninjas have long forgotten the essence of chakra." Murphy shook his head.

"Uh..." Jiraiya wanted to retort.

He was, after all, one of the Legendary Sannin. Although he couldn't compare to his old friend Orochimaru in terms of academic knowledge, he still knew the basic common sense about the nature of chakra, which even ninja academy students knew...

"What is the essence of chakra?" Naruto asked.

Jiraiya sighed. He'd forgotten that there was a ninja academy student right in front of him who didn't know.

"The essence of chakra is a tool for connecting people's hearts."

The one speaking was not Murphy, but Kurama inside Naruto.

It sighed somewhat: "I didn't expect that you, the shopkeeper, would understand all of this on your very first encounter with chakra."

Jiraiya frowned slightly.

Isn't chakra a mixture of physical and spiritual energy? And what does it mean to be a tool for connecting people's hearts?

But the Nine Lamas were created by the Sage of the Six Paths, and are living history that has lived for thousands of years. Since even it says so, it must be true.

Thinking about it carefully, Jiraiya had indeed heard some rumors before, saying that the Sage of Six Paths founded the Ninja Clan to unite everyone. Could this be what he meant?

"When the old man founded the Ninshu sect, he hoped to use chakra as a bridge to connect people. But not long after he passed away, the Ninshu sect fell apart, and people began to use chakra for fighting again."

Recalling the past, the Nine Lamas sighed deeply.

It remembered that the alternate history book that Gintoki gave to the Third Generation mentioned some regimes that died after only two generations.

Isn't the Ninja Sect the same?

But unlike those regimes, neither the Sage of Six Paths nor the Second Ninja Sect's Ashura were incompetent or cruel.

The Ninja Sect perished after only two generations, ultimately because it failed to overcome the selfish desires of the human heart.

"So this is the truth about chakra?" Jiraiya asked, puzzled. "But why didn't you say so before?"

Didn't the old man say that the relationship between the Nine Lamas and the village had improved considerably? Then why would he conceal such important information?

"You didn't ask." Kurama snorted coldly, leaving Jiraiya speechless.

"Besides, what good would it do to say it?" Kurama grinned, "Do you think you can still open your hearts and connect with each other using chakra right now?"

Let alone that they couldn't do it, even if they could, it would be virtually impossible for someone like Murphy to teach ninjutsu to someone with no prior knowledge in an instant.

Over the past thousand years, perhaps only the Sage of Six Paths, the founder of the Ninja Sect, has been capable of doing something similar.

Jiraiya was speechless.

Although I was very unwilling, what Nine Lamas said was indeed true.

He sighed deeply, but couldn't help but start daydreaming.

If the ninja world today could still connect with each other's hearts through chakra like it did back then, wouldn't the war have been avoided? Wouldn't many tragedies have been prevented?

Moreover, if the people of the ninja world could use chakra to pass on experience and knowledge, just like Murphy did, not only would the next generation perfectly inherit the success of the previous generation, but it would also save a lot of learning time.

He couldn't even imagine how fast the ninja world would develop if this continued.

"Good idea."

Murphy shrugged.

"But that's not realistic."

"While connecting hearts is the most fundamental application of chakra, ordinary people can't simply pass on skills without the influence of memories and emotions, just like I can."

Personality is the sum of thoughts and emotions.

If I inherit someone else's memories and emotions, will I still be myself? Not everyone can have a strong enough sense of self to remain unshaken by external memories.

The Sage of Six Paths' initial intentions were good, but that doesn't mean those who followed him executed them poorly. In countless universes, there are many idealists like him who hoped that the hearts of all humanity could be connected without reservation, but the vast majority have failed.

In a sense, it is the differences between people that have created the diverse and colorful human civilization.
