Hey guys, here is the new chapter hope you will liked and read thru everything.
I've read some comments about how the Aoi Todo technique works in Naruto, here's how it works
Todo's Boogie Woogie is a Water Style Space-Time Ninjutsu. By infusing his chakra into the air, he saturates the environment with invisible moisture that acts as a web of markers. By clapping his hands, he can swap his own position (or others') with any trace of that moisture, or with people and objects imbued with his Water Style chakra.

———————————————————
In the giant mountains of the Elephant Valley, Daigo was riding on ZōYū's back as they headed toward his new training.
"Daigo, you're getting stronger learning the basics of everything. Your foundations are quite solid," ZōYū said while walking at a calm pace.
"Yes that's been my idea from the beginning. Especially so I can use Shōton as if it were part of me," Daigo replied, looking around.
"I see. You're probably wondering why I'm not running, right?"
"Yes usually you seem to have infinite energy and we get everywhere as fast as possible."
"Well, that's because we're in the purest and most respected place for all elephants the Elephant Valley," ZōYū explained.
"The Elephant Valley? Is your mother here, ZōYū?" Daigo asked.
"Yes. The Elephant Valley is where every elephant, upon reaching a certain age, leaves a portion of their chakra in the earth to nourish and keep it alive with nutrients," ZōYū explained.
"I understand it's a sacred place. But why are you bringing me here?"
"That's because Mom is the best at controlling Yin chakra and always stays here. She preserves the chakra in its state despite so many years passing."
"What do you mean by preserving the chakra's state?" Daigo asked curiously.
"That's because Mom and Grandpa are the only current elephants who can use senjutsu the purest chakra in the world."
"Senjutsu is natural energy, right?" Daigo replied.
"That's right. I'm surprised you know that but yes. With mastery of senjutsu, it keeps all our ancestors' chakra from disappearing and keeps it alive forever," ZōYū said.
"I see that's interesting. When this war ends, I'd like to come back and learn as much as I can from all of you."
"It would be fun. We've arrived. You just have to climb those stairs Mom will be up there. Good luck," ZōYū said lowering Daigo from his back and starting to walk back the way they came.
Meanwhile, Daigo only looked at the giant stairs he had to climb to reach the top.
And the only possible way to climb was using chakra and scaling the walls.
Daigo approached without hesitation and began climbing the stairs but stopped when he felt how his chakra reserves were quickly absorbed by the staircase.
"Looks like you have a good way of using chakra and can feel the consumption from the stairs. It's a pleasure to meet you in person, Daigo," a feminine voice said from the top of the stairs.
"Huh? Nice to meet you what's your name? I'm Daigo, as you already know," Daigo said looking up but seeing no one.
"Don't try to look for me I'm all the way at the top. Your first test is to climb these stairs without running out of chakra. Good luck," the voice said then silence returned, with only the wind passing by, leaving Daigo thinking about how to climb.
Daigo took a step back away from the stone for a second to calm down and think. He closed his eyes and tried to recall everything he knew about Yin chakra.
He knew it was spiritual energy the one that allows "creating form from nothing." Until now, his Shōton had been rough a mix of brute force and hardened earth.
"ZōYū said this place preserves the chakra of the ancestors," he thought.
"If the stairs absorb my chakra, it's because my energy is 'noisy.' I'm sending waves of physical energy (Yang) instead of calm and controlled (Yin)."
He sat at the base of the stairs and entered a deep meditative state. He didn't try to climb again immediately. In his mind, he began to visualize the structure though the difference between the real ones and the imagined ones was that Daigo created them from crystal: perfect, geometric, unalterable.
"Interesting…" the feminine voice whispered from the top watching as Daigo didn't continue climbing like crazy and instead sat down to meditate and think.
After some time
Daigo stood up. This time, he didn't send a large amount. Instead, he used a minimal but sufficient amount to climb and the difference was clear: his energy was completely calm and peaceful, along with his breathing.
And it worked where before the stairs absorbed his chakra quickly, now it was slow and no problem for Daigo, who had large reserves.
With every ten steps he climbed, the absorption increased. Halfway up, Daigo began to see visions. They were silhouettes of colossal elephants, made of bluish mist, walking beside him.
They were ZōYū's ancestors the ones he had told him about.
"It's a genjutsu," Daigo told himself while continuing to climb and observing the illusions passing by.
"Yin chakra rules the world of spirits and shadows," the feminine voice explained.
"What you feel is the weight of memory. An elephant never forgets, Daigo. Is your memory strong enough to bear the weight of your own creation?"
Daigo didn't respond. He couldn't. All his concentration was focused on keeping his chakra calm and in minimal use to avoid wasting it and running out.
After what felt like hours of mental control, Daigo reached the last step. His reserves were at a critical point he barely had energy left to stay conscious.
Upon raising his gaze, the mist cleared and he found himself on a plateau covered in white flowers glowing with a silver light.
In the center of the plateau, resting on a bed of natural stones, was Matangi.
She wasn't as large as Daisen, but her skin had an almost white-grayish tone, and her eyes were a deep sapphire blue that seemed to contain entire galaxies. She wore a series of jade ornaments on her tusks.
"You've arrived, Daigo," Matangi said lowering her head in recognition. "You climbed the Ancestors' Staircase without using the power of the body, but the discipline of the spirit."
"I don't know your name, but it was harder than any battle I've had."
"My name is Matangi and that's because Yin is like a muscle you've never used before. Humans tend to rely too much on their physical vitality. But for Yin chakra, the body is only the vessel. True Yin is born from your mind's ability to impose structure on the chaos of the world."
Matangi extended her trunk and gently touched Daigo's forehead. In that instant, the young man felt a familiar surge of energy his previously empty reserves now completely restored as if nothing had happened, along with his fatigue.
"My little ZōYū is right you have strong foundations. But to use your Shōton, you lack what my training will teach you: to filter the impurities from your spiritual energy.
Only when your Yin chakra is as transparent as water will you be able to create a crystal that not even time can destroy."
Daigo looked at his hands. He felt that if he wanted to create crystal, he could do it without any problem the previous restriction had disappeared.
"You feel it, right? This place is full of Yin energy that I've left here for years so this is what it feels like to control it 100%," Matangi explained.
"I see I can finally test something with my Shōton," Daigo asked.
"Yes no problem. This place repairs itself if anything happens."
Daigo nodded extending his hand forward and focusing all his chakra into one point.
Then a crystal spear shot out at full force intertwining with the ground and creating a cloud of smoke upon impact.
Surprised, Daigo approached the spot seeing how the pink crystal spear was embedded in the earth. He pulled it out.
Observing it, he noticed that though it didn't break, it wouldn't withstand another hit.
"See? I'm sure you couldn't have done that if you weren't here," Matangi asked.
"That's right it's the first time I can use my Shōton so freely without my chakra being consumed at an accelerated rate," Daigo explained.
"With Iron's training and now mine, you'll be able to use it however you want of course, if you have the patience to learn."
"Don't worry, Matangi I'll put all the patience necessary to improve. When do we start the training?"
"Right now though I'm sure you already know: I'm a master of genjutsu, which has led me to have perfect control over my Yin chakra. Though I imagine you don't want to dedicate yourself to that, right?"
"No I just want to learn to control my Yin chakra more so I can be ready for the war that's happening and be able to use shoton."
"I understand. If you're looking for results on the battlefield, let's skip the chit-chat. Your second training is Form Resistance. In a real fight, you won't have time to meditate. You need your Yin chakra to respond instinctively even when you're exhausted."
Matangi pointed to a series of stone pillars surrounding the area.
"Your mission is simple: you're going to create a crystal layer around each of those twelve pillars. But there's a catch. You can't use hand seals after the first one, and you must keep all the crystals active at the same time. If one breaks or fades, you have to start over." Daigo swallowed hard but didn't get scared.
He walked confidently toward one of the pillars and placed his hand in the snake seal to better control his Earth chakra.
"Crystal Release: Crystal Layer," Daigo said.
A thin layer of pink crystal slowly covered the stone focused so it wasn't too big or too small for the pillar.
Daigo smiled feeling happy that he could finally use his Crystal element without problems but as soon as he moved to the second pillar, he felt a pull in his mind.
Maintaining the first crystal while trying to create the second was like trying to write with both hands at the same time difficult to control.
He managed to cover it though now his focus was on keeping both pillars covered in crystal without them breaking. He felt that if he covered the third everything was going down.
He didn't move toward the third pillar until he felt he no longer had to pay so much attention to the first two to start on the third.
Matangi walked around him observing every detail of his concentration.
"You're losing control on the second pillar, Daigo. Your spiritual energy is faltering because you're thinking about too many things. Yin though it exists everywhere if you focus on other things, it won't let you control it."
Daigo nodded and focused on completing the third pillar achieving it completely though a loud sound of something breaking behind him made him turn to notice the others he had previously covered had shattered.
"Damn it I focused too much on this one," Daigo said sitting down to rest, feeling his head heavy.
"Again the more you try, the faster you get used to it," Matangi said firmly.
Daigo stood up wiping sweat with his sleeve. He returned to the first pillar and started over.
This time, instead of just throwing chakra, he tried to feel the connection between his chakra and the crystal. He repeated the process once, twice, ten times. The sun began to set but Daigo kept covering the pillars in crystal and fighting to keep them stable.
After several hours of failed attempts, he finally collapsed completely drained of chakra and mind snoring and sleeping on the ground as if it were his bed.
"Not bad," Matangi commented approaching. She picked up Daigo's sleeping body and carried him to a more comfortable place to rest.
Then Matangi standing a bit farther away struck the ground three times and received three more strikes seconds later.
"Yes, Father it seems this time we've found an interesting and talented summoner."
