Chapter 527: I Am the Master of This Body!
When learning Taijutsu, even if he was exhausted and sore all over at the beginning, his recovery ability was astonishing, and he could adapt quickly.
He could even enjoy the pleasure of breaking through limits and the tangible feeling of increased strength after sweating profusely.
With every punch and every kick, the soreness in his muscles transformed into an increase in strength, clearly visible.
When learning Ninjutsu, every successful hand sign and every new technique released, even if it was just a small step forward, could bring clear joy and a sense of accomplishment.
Learning the Eight Gates, mastering Wood Release, entering the Kurama Link Mode...
Positive feedback; this is an important driving force that supports people in moving forward.
Like a sweet spring nourishing a desert, every small success is a source of courage to continue the journey.
However, when you have walked on a path for a long time but cannot see any clear results or hear the echoes of success.
That feeling of constantly investing heart, effort, and time, only for it to be like a stone sinking into the ocean without even stirring a ripple, is the most wearing on one's will, like being placed in an endless, thick fog, not knowing the direction and seeing no path ahead.
The only method Naruto could currently use to explore the Kekkei Mora was clumsy and primitive, just like when he explored Wood Release on his own back then.
Constantly trying to fuse, collide, and harmonize different Chakra attributes, looking for that glimmer of possibility amidst countless failures.
To learn Wood Release, he fused Earth, Water, and Yang Chakra attributes. Even with the help of the Nine-Tailed, he experienced countless failures and adjustments, including meridian swelling, Chakra going berserk, and even slight backlash.
And the Kekkei Mora requires the perfect unification of seven Chakra attributes: Lightning, Wind, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin, and Yang.
Its complexity, the difficulty of balancing the mutual generation and restriction of attributes, and the risk of backlash when failing increase exponentially.
This is destined to be a path that requires investing massive amounts of time and energy, and enduring countless silent failures. There are no textbooks, no detailed experience from predecessors; he can only rely on himself to try and fail bit by bit, to perceive those minute Chakra fluctuations that might represent success, like groping in a dark maze, not knowing where the exit is, or even if an exit exists.
Therefore, he needs time.
A large amount of time to conduct dangerous experiments without distractions.
However, what he lacks most right now is time.
A person's life lasts only a hundred years at most. If it is truly as Otohime said, he should be... in the near future...
The night wind brought a chill, but it could not blow away the anxiety in his heart.
Naruto withdrew his gaze from the bright moon, lowered his head, and looked at his outstretched hands.
Chakra flowed slightly in his palms. With a thought, faint lights of different attributes appeared above his palms one after another: blue Lightning Release arcs jumped, cyan wind swirls hummed softly, clear water spheres condensed, scorching flames flickered, and brown earth clods congealed...
They were independent of each other, distinct and clear, like incompatible paints, difficult to truly blend into a brand-new color.
Naruto clenched his fists, as if to crush all the uncertainty and difficulties in his palms.
Then, he slowly loosened them; his palms were empty, with only residual Chakra left.
"Still need... more time."
He muttered to himself, his voice very soft, dissipating into the night wind, carrying a hint of imperceptible fatigue, but more than that, a sense of unwillingness.
The long night continued. The chill seemed to have thickened.
But deep within those azure eyes, the initial confusion and heaviness, like thin mist blown away by the wind, were being replaced by a more scorching, more resolute light. That was the light belonging to Uzumaki Naruto, the flame of never giving up, the belief that could crush despair!
No matter how difficult the road is, one must keep walking!
A voice shouted in the depths of his heart.
No matter how difficult things are, nothing can suppress the word "Persistence"!
The road to success is right under his feet!
Since conventional methods require massive amounts of time for trial and error, then...
I will use unconventional methods to buy time!
A near-crazy idea flashed through his mind like lightning, instantly dispelling all hesitation and gloom.
Since I need a large amount of time for trial and error, I will use a large number of Shadow Clones to try.
Use quantity to make up for the lack of time, and use Clones to share the risk of failure.
I want to let this body know that I am the master of this body.
Whether the body can hold up or not is not for the body to decide; it is decided by my, Uzumaki Naruto's, will!
Let's do it!
Naruto stood up abruptly, no longer having any hesitation in his eyes, only the determination to burn his bridges.
His figure flashed, and he disappeared instantly from the spot, leaving behind only the slightly swaying leaves in the courtyard and the cold moonlight.
The next moment, he was in the Kamui Dimension.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Accompanied by a low shout, Chakra as vast as the sea erupted!
One, ten, a hundred, a thousand... dense Shadow Clones emerged like a tide with Naruto as the center, instantly occupying a large open space in the forest.
Every Shadow Clone was identical to the Main Body, their eyes firm.
Without extra words, thousands of Shadow Clones sat cross-legged simultaneously, hands forming different hand signs, and began to try to fuse two, three, or even more types of Chakra attributes.
In an instant, lights flashed chaotically in the Kamui Dimension, arcs hissed, flames rose, water currents surged, earth and stone trembled slightly, coldness and vitality intertwined... the Chakra fluctuations became extremely chaotic and violent.
"Puff!" "Bang!" "Hiss—!"
The sounds of failure rang out one after another. Attribute conflicts, loss of balance, Chakra going berserk...
Every Fusion failure was accompanied by a Shadow Clone trembling violently, then turning into white smoke and dissipating with a "Bang" sound.
The pain brought by failure, the burning sensation in the Meridians, and the Spiritual shock, like a tide, were instantly fed back to Naruto's Main Body through the dissipating Shadow Clone.
"Ugh!"
Naruto's Main Body's face slowly turned pale, and fine beads of sweat seeped out on his forehead.
Every dissipation of a Shadow Clone meant that the painful experience of a failure was directly superimposed onto him.
That feeling was like being stabbed by countless fine needles into his nerves simultaneously, and also like being repeatedly struck on the Soul by an invisible heavy hammer.
But he clenched his teeth, his eyes not wavering in the slightest. Choosing to accept the memories of the Shadow Clones meant choosing to endure everything they experienced, including the pain.
But at this moment, he didn't care anymore!
The Six Paths Sage could directly bring the Souls of the First Hokage and the others down from the Pure Land; who could guarantee that one day he wouldn't extend his butcher's knife to Naruto's neck?
What exactly was that old man, who sat high in the Pure Land and seemed aloof from worldly affairs, plotting?
What was his attitude toward the Ninja World?
These were all unknown threats.
Naruto could not entrust his own destiny to the kindness or plans of others.
In the established future, it shouldn't have been like this.
According to the original trajectory, the Fifth Hokage should have been Tsunade, the Sixth should have been Kakashi, and the Seventh should have been him, Uzumaki Naruto.
But now, he had taken on the heavy burden in advance, changed the destinies of too many people, and also put himself on the cutting edge in advance.
The future had become confusing and full of variables.
But he, Uzumaki Naruto, did not believe in fate!
The flame of unyielding spirit burned in his azure eyes. What predestination?
What established future?
He only believed that human effort could conquer heaven!
Destiny is like a turbulent river, but he wanted to be the fish swimming against the current, the boat splitting the giant waves!
Ignoring the stinging pain in his brain that had not yet subsided, Naruto formed hand signs with his hands again.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Another batch of Shadow Clones appeared, taking the place of those who had dissipated, and continued to throw themselves into the Fusion experiment full of unknowns and dangers.
The light in the Kamui Dimension lit up again, and the white smoke of failure rose again.
The pain was like a tide, one wave not yet subsided, another rising, constantly impacting Naruto's body and spirit.
But he just gritted his teeth tightly, enduring and persisting.
Every failure made his understanding of Chakra attributes deeper; every pain made his will more tenacious.
