Gift
The Chakra of a standard Earth Release: Earth Dragon Hiding Technique allows the Earth Dragon's existence to be maintained for five times longer.
The extra one hundred and fifty seconds of retention gives this ninjutsu even greater value.
Doubling the Chakra injection didn't extend the duration, but it did make the Earth Dragon larger, the rocks it spat out harder, and its flight speed faster.
After the Earth Dragon activates its invisibility, it becomes completely transparent, and its flight shows no abnormalities. Only when it attacks will ripples appear on its body due to the use of Chakra, meaning it can't attack while invisible.
The ability to spit rocks is valuable. The speed isn't fast, but it can track targets, and it's not just simple rocks; they can be shaped. When transformed into stone cones, their destructive power is quite considerable.
Multiple Earth Dragons can be summoned simultaneously, but their consciousness seems to be shared.
It's worth noting that the Chakra consumed by complete invisibility and spitting rocks isn't directly drawn from Lin Ke's body like the Substitution Jutsu; it's more like consuming stored Chakra—
For the Earth Dragon, it's consuming its own lifespan. Especially when attacking, there's no upper limit to the Chakra used. The more Chakra used, the larger the rocks spat out, the faster their speed, and the stronger their power.
This is a point worth pondering. The relationship between the main body and the Substitution, and the Earth Dragon seems to have subtle differences.
By the way, the Earth Dragon looks fierce and ugly, with scales all over its body, but...
[After all that, it turns out to be a ranged mage-type summon, completely incapable of close combat.]
Lin Ke sat in the Barbecue Q restaurant, stuffing the freshly grilled meat into his mouth. He chewed and swallowed it. The morning's ninjutsu training had severely depleted his physical strength. He could say he walked into Barbecue Q holding onto the wall. He felt like he could devour an entire cow.
And he was treating. He had just spent money to buy a C-rank ninjutsu, emptying most of his savings. His daily expenses weren't low either. Not to mention food and drink, the consumption of ninja tools like smoke bombs, Soldier Pills, and Kunai was also considerable...
He finally became a Chunin; he had to have a good meal! Even if he had to eat dirt afterward, he would accept it.
Seeing his ravenous eating, Yuan Wei couldn't help but look at him with admiration. As expected of the boss, his strength is strong, and his appetite is even stronger! Thinking this, he also started eating heartily.
Xia silently rolled her eyes, saying nothing.
Nara Yan Shui ate very elegantly, looking at the three subordinates who had matured rapidly in just half a year. He felt a little gratified. Although he hated being a babysitter, watching the people he taught grow up felt good.
Well, I definitely won't be a class advisor next time.
After the meal, the four left Barbecue Q. Nara Yan Shui handed over a scroll, saying, "This is a gift for becoming a Chunin." He paused, turned his head to look at the two subordinates beside him, and said, "You two must also work hard. You'll get a gift when you become Chunin too."
"Thank you, Teacher Yan Shui," Lin Ke said sweetly as he took the scroll. He looked down at it. The scroll had the character 'Endure' (rěn) written on it. Could it be some kind of ninjutsu?
Nara Yan Shui smiled and said, "You'll have to take on and complete missions on your own for a while." He had learned during the casual chat at dinner that Lin Ke didn't intend to directly carry out high-difficulty missions with his two subordinates, which conflicted with his subsequent actions.
A four-person team composed of Jonin, Chunin, and Genin was the most basic requirement for carrying out B-rank and above missions.
"Then—" He raised his right hand and waved, "Goodbye, you three."
"Swish!"
Lin Ke held the scroll, looked left and right at his companions standing behind him, and grinned with a confident smile, saying, "In that case—"
"Your special training will also begin."
"I'm completely ready!" Yuan Wei raised his hands and shouted.
Xia secretly felt a headache from her companion's loud shouting but still smiled and said, "I'm ready too."
"Boss!" X2—Seventh Training Ground.
Lin Ke stood on a rock, looking at his two companions with a serious expression, and asked, "What is Chakra? Can someone tell me?"
Yuan Wei answered without thinking, "Chakra is the energy created by mixing 'spiritual energy' and 'physical energy'."
"Very good. Then can someone tell me how to use Chakra to release a technique?" Lin Ke asked again.
"Hand seals?" Xia asked tentatively.
"Training!" Yuan Wei said confidently.
"Idiot, of course, it's extracted from the body and uses hand seals to guide the technique to completion."
"..."
Lin Ke watched the two discuss for a few sentences before saying, "You're all right, but not entirely right."
"The foundation of a technique is Chakra. If you want to transform Chakra into the ninjutsu we use, it usually goes through two processes—"
"Shape transformation and nature transformation."
"I know about nature transformation," Yuan Wei volunteered. "My Chakra has the nature of wind!"
[Are my initial attributes the same as the protagonist's?]
Lin Ke thought to himself. Chakra attributes weren't a secret. In fact, they were quite basic and simple. Chakra paper was sold everywhere, and anyone who wanted to learn ninjutsu had to learn something about Chakra attributes.
More or less.
"I'm fire," Xia followed.
Lin Ke nodded and said, "Shape transformation is turning Chakra into the 'shape' of ninjutsu."
"Adding attributes like wind and fire when using ninjutsu to get additional effects is called nature transformation."
"Basically, all ninjutsu is built on these two processes." This doesn't exclude some strange ninjutsu that can be released without any shape or nature transformation at all.
Like the Tailed Beast Bomb, the Eight Tails described the release process as if it were vomiting, with no transformation at all...
"Take the Three Body Technique as an example."
"Transformation Jutsu is the basis of shape transformation."
"The most important thing about Clone Jutsu is the ratio and release of Chakra, which is the basis of nature transformation."
"The Substitution Jutsu requires using Chakra to activate the body's cells and briefly enhance speed, which is the basis of taijutsu."
That's why the E-ranked Three Body Technique can be a required course at the Ninja Academy. Mastering the Three Body Technique means that learning other ninjutsu will be much easier.
Although Lin Ke's ninjutsu was a little off, he actually had some experience in ninjutsu.
This experience came from science.
It was an ordered knowledge system based on verifiable explanations and predictions of the form and organization of objective things, knowledge that had been systematized and formalized.
It was the greatest gain he had brought over from his two lives, besides the mutated ninjutsu cheat.
In this world, Chakra and ninjutsu were the science he had summarized.
