Chapter 9: The Art of Raising Souls (Part 3)

　　In the Ninja System, Kato Mikaze's attention was not on the spiritual attribute and chakra Yin attribute that had skyrocketed by 10 attribute points.

　　This should be the related attribute surge caused by the breakthrough of the Art of Raising Souls, and it will slowly return to the original level. When he had just learned the Wind Light Technique, the speed attribute had also temporarily skyrocketed.

　　His attention was all on the secret technique column. Now it was not the Spiritualization Technique, the secret technique of the Kato clan, but a ninjutsu whose name he had never heard of, the Art of Raising Souls.

　　Kato Mikaze controlled his consciousness and clicked on the secret technique column, the one for the Art of Raising Souls. The effect description of the Art of Raising Souls instantly appeared in Kato Mikaze's soul consciousness.

　　"Soul-raising technique: a single seal of the rabbit, followed by a diagram of the movement of chakra in the body that is more complex than the spiritual transformation technique. It evolved from the secret technique of the Kato clan, the spiritual transformation technique, due to an unexpected situation."

　　"The secret technique of soul-raising not only preserves the original effect of the spiritual transformation technique, such as enhancing the spiritual power or soul power of the practitioner, and possessing the ability to perceive the soul. It also has the ability to split the soul."

　　"After the soul is split, part of the soul continues to stay in the body, and part of the soul can perform the original soul-leaving technique."

　　"In addition, there is a certain probability of nurturing the soul of some low-intelligence creatures that meet the conditions, cultivating spiritual wisdom, and then cultivating the soul."

　　Kato Mikaze's soul consciousness is deep, and he carefully looks at the description of the soul-raising technique in the ninja system.

　　The two sword eyebrows that are usually shaking are slightly wrinkled, revealing a hint of doubt.

　　The soul body floating in front of Kato Mikaze also made almost the same movements on his face, and at the same time, he was unconsciously circling around his body, obviously in doubt.

　　Recalling the moment when he had practiced the art of spiritual transformation and achieved a breakthrough, the ninja system started running for the first time without his calling, and it seemed to have consumed part of the original power of the ninja system.

　　This was the first time that Kato Mikaze had encountered the original power of the system after so many years of owning the system. The system never explained what it was and whether it could be restored.

　　After thinking about it, Kato Mikaze roughly knew why his art of spiritual transformation had become the art of nurturing souls.

　　The ninja system was deeply bound to his soul, and his soul was not the original soul of the Naruto world, but a transmigration.

　　His physical body was the original body of the Naruto world, and there was no problem for his soul to stay in his body at ordinary times.

　　However, if his soul directly left his body and left his body, there would be problems and he would be rejected.

　　In order to prevent Kato Mikaze from having problems with his soul when he performed the art of spiritual transformation and left his body, which would affect the ninja system and cause his soul to die, the ninja system mainly caused the system to have problems and be annihilated.

　　When he had achieved a breakthrough in the art of spiritualization and was about to let his soul leave his body, the system was destroyed in order to protect his soul and the system itself.

　　It consumed all the remaining attribute points in the system, a part of his soul power, and a part of the system's own original power.

　　The system was activated urgently and the art of spiritualization was urgently deduced.

　　In the end, a new secret technique, the art of nurturing souls, was produced.

　　The art of nurturing souls, looking at the description in his mind, was based on Kato Mikaze's experience in practicing the art of spiritualization for so long, and the family secret scroll "Record of Experience in Practicing the Secret Art of Spiritualization" that he could almost recite.

　　It felt more complicated than the art of spiritualization, and more powerful and mysterious.

　　Of course, the specific ninjutsu effect of the art of nurturing souls would require Kato Mikaze to explore carefully in the future, but just one effect, after the soul leaves the body, Kato Mikaze's original body can move and use ninjutsu.

　　At the same time, the soul body can also move freely, and it does not affect the activities of the soul body out of the body, which is equivalent to a soul clone with its own independent consciousness.

　　Not to mention the other mutation effects of the Soul Cultivation Technique, just this point alone avoids the biggest weakness of the Spiritualization Technique.

　　Kato Mikaze felt that he had consumed part of the original power of the system. He didn't know whether he made a profit or not, but he should not have lost anything.

　　When Kato Mikaze thought of this, the doubts about the Soul Cultivation Technique disappeared from his mind, and he was even a little happy that the Soul Cultivation Technique effectively avoided the weaknesses of the Spiritualization Technique.

　　His brows changed from the slight wrinkles just now, and he even wanted to laugh with excitement.

　　Thinking of this, Kato Mikaze glanced at the soul body that seemed to be unconsciously circling around him. A closer look showed a puzzled expression on the face of the soul body.

　　"What's going on? Wasn't it still conscious just now? How come the soul body became unconscious and flew by itself?" Kato Mikaze was a little nervous and surprised.

　　Kato Mikaze's mind was immediately immersed in the control of the ninjutsu, and his soul body stopped flying around unconsciously. His face became normal, and even a little solemn.

　　After a long time, Kato Mikaze breathed a sigh of relief. The effect of the soul-raising technique of the soul-raising technique is indeed a soul clone with its own consciousness.

　　It is a little similar to the control operation of the clone technique. However, the soul clone has much greater autonomy and can basically move freely.

　　At the same time, his own body can also be controlled, but he has just learned the soul-raising technique, and the soul-raising technique is not proficient in controlling it.

　　Just now, he was lost in thought, and the soul-raising technique also fell into thought, without controlling the soul body, causing the soul body to fly around.

　　If the main body and the soul body that left the body fight the enemy at different locations at the same time in the future, the battle will definitely be a tense and intense scene, requiring his full commitment. Will it have any impact?

　　It's a not-so-small weakness, but it should be a weakness that can be overcome. I have to improve my proficiency in the Soul Cultivation Technique as soon as possible. The higher the proficiency, the stronger the autonomous consciousness of the soul body after the soul leaves the body.

　　The soul body and the main body must have an impact on each other. After all, the chakra of the soul body that moves outside is provided by its own body, indirectly provided by the soul line, and chakra cannot be generated out of thin air.

　　There are countless natural energies floating in the air, but the soul body of the soul that has left the body cannot absorb them directly.

　　Maybe in the future, if I learn the Sage Mode, the soul body that has left the body can directly absorb the natural energy from the outside world?

　　But how difficult is it to cultivate the Sage Mode? It is estimated that it is no less difficult than practicing the Spiritualization Technique.

　　Kato Mikaze has not mastered any method to practice Sage Mode yet. This can only be discussed later.

　　In Konoha Village, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique recorded in the Sealed Book seems to have some coordination with the Soul Cultivation Technique.

　　"My strength has basically reached the level of a jonin. I will get familiar with the various functions of the Soul Cultivation Technique as soon as possible. I will strive to be promoted to jonin in the next batch of jonin promotion assessments and accumulate enough merits as soon as possible to obtain the approval of the Hokage and exchange for the Shadow Clone Technique."

　　Kato Mikaze planned the arrangements for the next period of time.

　　Kato Mikaze continued to do two things at the same time. His body made various quiet attempts in the room. His soul body avoided some dangerous ninjas or places in the village and hid his own soul fluctuations.

　　He wandered around the area near his family's land in Konoha Village to experience the various novelties after the soul was separated from the body.

　　Kato Mikaze did not go to bed until the chakra in his body was completely exhausted.
