Seven Heavens Breathing Method

Again, this chapter has not been edited.

————

The technique Shira employed earlier this morning was none other than the Seven Heavens Breathing Method. It's a technique that he invented himself, and can be considered on the level, or at least close to, the level of the eight gates.

In the anime, he used this technique against Rock Lee, and managed to be on par with him whilst suffering from internal injuries. The silent fist he used though, was on a higher level than Lee's base Taijutsu, giving him an edge throughout the battle.

I don't know if he's already named it, or if the name itself will change due to butterfly effect, but if he masters it, he will undoubtedly become one of the strongest Taijutsu users on this planet. I have no doubts on this matter.

Anyways, I reminded him to be careful one last time before taking my leave. If everything goes well, he should be discharged in a few days, give or take.

As I was walking towards my apartment, I reflected on what my father had told me earlier this morning.

It technically makes sense that the level of Fūinjutsu in this world is so low. The only clan known for their methods in this area was the now-extinct Uzumaki clan. The system must have given me the purest form of the art, probably even more refined than the red-heads themselves. The Uzumaki were renowned in the Shinobi world for their mastery over the sealing methods, but even they must not have grasped the true essence of this complicated art.

In my opinion, these sealing methods should be on par to the ones taught to the Otsutsuki. It's crazy to think about, but i honestly think it might be possible, considering that the system is an entity granted to me by the world itself.

Well, It's not really time to think about all of this yet, I have to train in order to become a Chūnin for now.

I made my way up the stairs of my apartment and eventually reached the roof, where all of my training equipment was located.

I had everything from weights, to training dummies, etc. It was basically a gym on the roof, albeit a little crude, considering this wasn´t the modern era of my previous world.

Taking off my shirt, I began to stretch my whole body. When I felt that my muscles were getting into gear, I headed straight for the weights. Today was Upper-Body day.

I trained for about two hours, until my muscles started to feel sore. Satisfied, I headed back down to my room and took a refreshing shower before eating the special foods included in Shira's diet.

He had made me a personal diet program and training regime to strengthen my under-average physique. After sticking to this plan for eight years, I'm confident that in terms of Taijutsu, only Lee and Shira could beat me in the upcoming Chūnin exams.

But that's only because that's all they do.

Feeling great, I opened the window and sat on my bed to meditate.

It wasn't long before I was greeted by the sight of Shukaku. His menacing gaze was fixated on my comparably small self.

"Why do you have sealing methods on par with the sage of six paths? Explain yourself."

His words immediately validated my theory. So my sealing methods are indeed on par with the gods themselves. I couldn't help but smirk. What a perfect opportunity to get back at this demon for trying to take over my mind.

Shrugging, I made an innocent expression before denying his claims.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Don't play with me! You might be able to deceive that fool Rasa but I'm the Ichibi![1] You can't play the fool with me. Spit it out."

"Like I said, I really don't know what you're talking about."

Shukaku's face twisted in anger as he realized that he was being toyed with. He immediately turned around and got back into his usual sleeping position.

"Fine then. If you don't want to spill it, do so. Like I care about matters concerning humans."

I couldn't help but let out a little laugh before starting to meditate once again. This girlt way better than I though it would, there's something inherently fun about toying with a tailed beast.

————

Circulating chakra through my pathway system, I noticed as my reserves were slowly increasing. Physical training and meditation went hand in hand with the increase of one's chakra reserves.

Not only that, but I have a tailed beast sealed inside me that subconsciously leaks its chakra, effectively increasing my reserves. Basically, even if I stop trining I'll still be a chakra monster, similarly to Naruto himself.

Although Naruto beats me in chakra amounts, because he's got the nine-tails, I have the edge in chakra control. And I could ven theories that since Naruto isn't really train his chakra reserves in part one, he might not even be on par with me right now.

That, of course, might not be the case because of his bloodline. Anyways, he'll surely overtake me with time.

Getting rid of any depressing thoughts, I decided to test out an idea that I had gotten recently.

With minimal effort, I made a sand-clone and had him read the notes given to me by my dad. It did so, and seemed to struggle a little bit.

After an hour, I dispelled it and waited to see if I would get an influx of memories, like the shadow-clone Jutsu.

As expected, I received the memories from the clone, and I had a basic idea of what it had read in the past hour. One thing I noticed though, is that it's comprehension level wasn't even a tenth of mine.

Basically, what it learned in an hour, I would have learned in six minutes.

Although it's inefficient, its still a very useful ability, considering my chakra reserves and for how long I can keep a clone up.

The sand-clone technique is very different from its shadow counterpart. In the latter, one divides their chakra reserves equally with their clone. In the former, I give the clone a set amount of chakra from the get-go in order for it to operate. It also has a time limit, unless I infuse more chakra in it.

It cant really perform any Jutsu, but the sand-control ability is already infused in it; It can be much more versatile, since its made of sand.

Slipping through cracks, hiding underground, physical immunity. All of these are some of many advantages the sand-clone has over the shadow-clone.

It's main weaknesses are wind and water, but even those can be slightly averted using iron or gold dust as a hidden ace.

Currently, I should be able to keep two or three clones running for twenty four hours without getting tired. I'm not in a rush, so no need to overwork myself. That's about 144 minutes of studying a day without doing anything. How great.

I should use this technique scarcely, and only when I'm meditating, to ensure no drawbacks. This way, I'll be able to do multiple things at a time.

Let's get to it now, shall we?
