Isn't This Just Me?
Lin Ke's home, before dinner.
"Space-Time Ninjutsu is really powerful."
Uchiha Sasuke sat on the sofa, saying with a serious expression.
He had just finished listening to Lin Ke's account of facing Sasori of the Red Sand twice, both times holding the advantage, yet being easily escaped by an enemy skilled in Space-Time Ninjutsu, leaving them helpless.
The shadow clones were busy in the kitchen, the aroma of food gradually wafting over.
"Yeah." Lin Ke sighed, looking quite helpless, "That's why I especially want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique. I heard the Fourth Hokage..."
He embellished the story of Namikaze Minato, emphasizing the unparalleled power of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
He even brought up the concepts of 'Homecoming Minato' and 'Toilet Sasori', crossing eras and dimensions.
Uchiha Sasuke listened, nodding repeatedly, also pondering how to face such opponents, but racking his brains seemed to yield no solution.
Theoretically, as long as his reaction speed exceeded that of the Space-Time Ninjutsu user, he wouldn't have to worry about being ambushed, but who could avoid being ambushed forever?
Just thinking about being hit with a Thousand Years of Death, that despicable Taijutsu, while using the toilet or sleeping...
His face twitched almost imperceptibly, and he asked the same question: "Isn't there a technique that can restrict Space-Time Ninjutsu?"
Too despicable.
At this moment, in Uchiha Sasuke's young mind, Namikaze Minato and Sasori of the Red Sand were stamped with less-than-ideal stereotypes.
Lin Ke shook his head, saying helplessly, "If there was a way, I wouldn't have chosen to join them."
He observed Sasuke's expression, thinking that when customizing the Sharingan, he would definitely customize some useful abilities suitable for him. A Mangekyo Sharingan that could restrict Space-Time Ninjutsu would be great.
Kamui could even be used against Kaguya, and at least the Mangekyo's abilities wouldn't be affected by higher-level eyes. A technique that could restrict space-time could directly restrain Obito and Kaguya, those two cheaters, which was very important.
Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a moment, and it was hard to say whether he wanted to join the League of Despicable People, or whether he wanted to restrain Space-Time Ninjutsu in his heart.
"Alright, let's not think about it so much." Lin Ke changed the subject, looking excited as he said, "I thought of an interesting story last time. Once upon a time, there was a child who obtained a robotic cat from the future that could travel back in time..."
Uchiha Sasuke listened quietly, the expression on his face much more relaxed, showing that he was taking the story to heart.
My storytelling ability has really improved, Lin Ke thought, planning to tell Sasuke all the stories he knew about time travel.
The children in the Naruto World had too little spiritual nourishment. Every day, they were either killing people and setting fires or cultivating to become stronger. The Mangekyo abilities awakened in this way had no imagination at all.
Telling him more awesome abilities and stories of all kinds to inspire him might lead to him awakening a time-traveling Mangekyo ability in the future and coming back to be his robotic cat.
He didn't know if others could awaken such an awesome Mangekyo, but Sasuke might be able to. After all, he was the reincarnation of Indra's Chakra. What if he could? At the very least, it couldn't be Amaterasu and Kagutsuchi, which didn't seem to have much imagination. Space-time and the ability to restrain space-time were both good.
Lin Ke looked at Sasuke, who was listening intently, and thought to himself: Strive to become my most powerful tool, Sasuke.
After telling about two episodes of DoraXDream, the shadow clones had already prepared the meal. After the two had eaten, Sasuke went home, while he went to the training room to begin his evening training.
As usual, he started with a round of Substitution Jutsu training.
After about twenty summons, Lin Ke saw purple thorns emerging from the back of his hand, and his spirits lifted.
You're the one, Hermit Purple!
He unhesitatingly aimed a hand chop at the camera.
"Crack!" With his speed and strength, he instantly flattened the fragile mechanical creation. Hermit Purple quickly activated its ability, writing out his inner thoughts about the culprit who caused Orochimaru's breakthrough in Natural Energy research on Kimimaro.
"Squeak~" An old-fashioned camera slowly spat out a photo.
Lin Ke caught the photo. The perspective was looking up, and the person in the photo was standing high up, with the stars shining brightly in the sky.
Isn't that me? He was speechless. Although he had guessed it early on, the feeling of absurdity still inevitably appeared in his heart when he really discovered that he had caused Orochimaru to develop Natural Energy.
He composed himself and began to think seriously.
This proves that the Five Elements Sealing, Natural Energy, and Orochimaru's experiments are related.
Lin Ke crossed his hands, stringing together the events that had happened in the past surrounding Orochimaru, him, and Sasori.
In other words, the energy brought by the Five Elements Sealing, which seals the opponent's ability to weave hand signs, is Natural Energy.
[The Five Elements Sealing I left on Orochimaru is constantly gathering Natural Energy?]
[Sasori probably learned that information from Yakushi Kabuto's head...]
Although he had more or less sorted out the logic, there were still many unknowns, but he had at least figured some things out and knew how to deal with it.
[However, I don't seem to care whether Orochimaru is using the Five Elements Sealing to develop something, and even if Sasori develops a Natural Energy puppet, it doesn't matter.]
Lin Ke discovered the key point, taking Kimimaro as an example—
Mystical Palm Technique would take care of it.
[A powerful force that I completely counter, perhaps it can be popularized...] He instantly had a new plan in his mind.
...
The next day, Seventh Training Ground.
"...That's all." Might Guy finished explaining the training of the Eight Gates Formation Technique, looked at Lin Ke, and said, "Are you ready?"
The logic of this Taijutsu technique is not complicated. Open the Eight Gates that restrict the flow of Chakra in the body to exchange for overloaded power. It sounds simple, but overload means that the body cannot bear it.
In other words, no matter how much you train, opening the Eight Gates will cause damage to the body. It's just that people who have been practicing related training for a long time can reduce the damage to the body.
In addition to the damage to the body, opening the Eight Gates is also quite difficult, and opening the Eight Gates will also cause extreme pain due to the body's overload.
Therefore, you must carry out overloaded training on your body on a daily basis, and you must endure even if you are injured, constantly get used to the pain, and at the same time restrain your own behavior to strengthen your willpower. Only by doing both can you act normally when you open the Eight Gates.
Otherwise, it would be meaningless even if you opened the Eight Gates if you fainted or lay on the ground from the pain.
But even Rock Lee, who is extremely talented, will still feel pain and pause when he opens the first gate and uses Front Lotus, thus allowing his opponent to escape in the battle with Gaara.
Lin Ke took a deep breath. Isn't it just risking his life?
"Come on."
