Now, he could only learn these few not-so-difficult Ninjutsu by himself, mainly focusing on Rock Fist Technique, Wind Blade, and Spiraling Storm Gun.
"Any other questions?" Purple Rhino looked at Ling, and after seeing Ling shake his head, he said, "Then, dismissed! Gather here after Ninja Academy ends."
Ling watched as the others left with Body Flicker Technique and naturally went to his duty area, casually choosing a large tree.
Ling had not yet learned the Anbu's Forbidden Technique for concealing Chakra fluctuations, so he had to use his own method for now.
Ling had discovered that when he covered his entire body with Curse Power, his Chakra fluctuations were obscured, and though he didn't understand the principle, it worked.
Ling formed hand seals to cast Bubble Technique and Telescope Technique, allowing them to monitor the detailed surroundings, and after having his Shadow Clone monitor, Ling began to study the three Ninjutsu.
Rock Fist Technique allows a layer of hard rock to form on the fist, greatly increasing the force of attacks, but combining it with Super Strength Fist is quite difficult.
Because Super Strength Fist's Chakra burst technique would disrupt the Chakra transmission of Rock Fist Technique, Ling tried many times and felt that the two could not be used together.
However, it was fortunate that Ling didn't necessarily have to combine the two; he had only thought of it as a wild guess at the time.
To maintain two types of Chakra operation in the hand not only requires multitasking but also attention to the conflict of the two Chakra flows.
Ling was indeed a bit naive; Rock Fist Technique and Super Strength Fist are two different ways to increase power. He wasn't discouraged by the failure, as he had already learned Rock Fist Technique anyway.
Next was the relatively simple Wind Blade, a Ninjutsu often used by Hidden Sand Village Ninja, which involves attaching a layer of sharp Wind Release Chakra to a Ninjato and making it rotate along the blade.
It's somewhat like the principle of a chainsaw, and this technique could indeed be integrated with Ling's Gale Sword Technique, because the Chakra on the blade of Gale Sword Technique is relatively static to the sword body.
Neither can really be said to be stronger, as their focuses are different. Gale Sword Technique is fundamentally swordplay-centric, with Wind Release Chakra as a supplement.
The ancestor who created this sword art was dealing with samurai wearing bamboo plate armor and Ninja with weak defensive Ninjutsu and not much power.
In that environment, it was sufficient. Even now, against some Jonin who aren't wearing special equipment or don't possess body-defensive Ninjutsu, it can still gain a significant advantage.
Unfortunately, once it encounters defenses such as Earth Release: Earth Spear, Lightning Release Armor, or Magnet Release: Iron Sand Defense, it is still very powerless.
However, with the addition of Wind Blade, it's different. This technique is specifically for cutting, and as the mastery of Wind Release nature transformation deepens, its power will greatly increase.
Combining the two techniques isn't difficult; it simply involves making the Wind Release Chakra on the sword body rotate according to a certain structure when using Gale Sword Technique.
Compared to the anti-human operation of Wind Release Chakra Mode, this is undoubtedly a thousand times simpler.
Ling even felt that he might not be able to master Wind Release Chakra Mode, and now he just treated it as a method to practice Chakra control.
Ling drew the Ninjato issued by Anbu. Although it was far inferior to Ame no Habakiri, it was considered the limit for an ordinary refined steel Ninjato.
After injecting Wind Release Chakra with nature transformation into the blade, Ling now mastered three types of Wind Release Chakra nature transformation. It could be seen that after using Wind Blade, the light green Wind Release Chakra turned dark green.
This was the result of Ling's Wind Release nature transformation during this period. Ling felt that mastering three types of Wind Release Chakra nature transformation had already reached the peak of a Jonin.
Beyond that, he would need to imbue Wind Release with the nature transformation he desired, which could be described as a kind of 'I Think So' power.
Within a seemingly reasonable scope, attempts were made in terms of wild ideas. Ling speculated that Release-type Bloodline Limits were the result of the 'I Think So' power.
If you say it's idealistic, people still follow the basic principles of Chakra. If you say it's materialistic, it's hard to understand why Magnet Release controls different things for different people.
For someone deeply educated in materialistic concepts, this 'I Think So' power is truly maddening. So generally speaking, it's not the more talented a person is, the more they can master this 'I Think So' power.
One must be somewhat cultured but not overly so, and also a bit eccentric, or rather, inherently a person with mental issues. Such people would achieve twice the results with half the effort in researching 'I Think So' power.
Senju Tobirama and Senju Hashirama are the best examples. Orochimaru is probably similar; he didn't develop Release-type Bloodline Limits with 'I Think So' power even in Boruto.
This is also why the Third Hokage, in terms of Ninjutsu, could only reach S-rank by relying on Five Release Great Combination Barrage, because his single-attribute Ninjutsu nature transformation was only at the level of an Elite Jonin.
Looking at Senju Tobirama's Water Release Ninjutsu, it's impressive, but as a scientist, without 'I Think So' power, he could only focus on form transformation.
What are Hard Vortex Water Blade and Water Severing Wave? Aren't they just the principles of a spiral drill and a high-pressure water gun?
However, even so, he reached S-rank through form transformation, but Chakra control blocked most people. Didn't the Third Hokage also not know these two Ninjutsu?
Wind Blade is currently a simple form transformation, and Rasengan is too. Form transformation and nature transformation are two aspects of Ninjutsu's extension; there is no superiority, and both can reach the peak.
However, to create a Bloodline Limit, nature transformation is essential. But how many in the Ninja World can create their own Bloodline Limits?
Recalling his thoughts, after Ling learned Gale Sword Technique with the Wind Blade technique, he felt he could begin developing his S-rank Ninjutsu.
That is to combine Spiraling Compression Sphere and Spiraling Storm Gun. The combination of the two is somewhat like Hard Vortex Water Blade, only this one is Wind Release in nature.
Ling felt that once this S-rank Ninjutsu was developed, it would be enough to pierce through the defenses of a Perfect Susanoo and the Third Raikage.
Naruto's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken couldn't break through the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Armor because his technique's damage was very dispersed, cutting the entire body.
Moreover, this S-rank Ninjutsu, soon to be named Wind Release: Spiraling Compression Storm Rifle, not only has overall cutting power but also terrifying piercing power from the drill.
Although this spiraling piercing power might not seem as impressive as Wind Release: Rasenshuriken overall, it can definitely rival Chidori and the strongest spear, One Finger Nukite.
Thinking of this, Ling couldn't help but laugh wildly. This Ninjutsu was enough to raise Ling's destructive power to Kage-level, and then subduing Shikigami would be simple.
He estimated that he could one-shot everything except Mahoraga, and even fighting Mahoraga might not be impossible.
However, the combination of these two Ninjutsu is indeed feasible, but it requires continuous modification of the structure to increase spiral and piercing power.
If he had Hard Vortex Water Blade as a reference, perhaps the development speed would be faster, but unfortunately, he first exchanged for Flying Thunder God Technique.
