Chapter 31: The Limitless Potential of a Self-Created Jutsu!
Chapter 31: The Limitless Potential of a Self-Created Jutsu!
Ocean of Infinity...!
Tang Ping slowed down his hand seals, not only to make it easier to perform but also to demonstrate the technique.
The sequence of hand seals wasn't the issue.
The key was the flow of chakra within the body and the fine details of execution.
Without this knowledge, it was impossible to learn a jutsu.
Kakashi, who would later be known as the "Copy Ninja," learned mostly generic and relatively easy jutsu. When it came to truly powerful techniques, when did you ever see him use someone else's?
The jutsu Tang Ping developed was a different story. Anyone who tried to learn it, other than him, would end up dead.
"Fire Release: Flame Cloak!"
A layer of pale red light, like a thin veil of flames, enveloped his body.
The temperature around him began to rise.
Tang Ping bent his body slightly, then leaped toward a wooden post about fifteen meters away.
Swish!
As he leaped, a burst of flames shot from his feet, propelling him forward like a rocket.
He landed in front of the thick, two-meter-high wooden post.
"Fire Release: Flame Punch!"
Tang Ping's right fist struck out, and a wave of flames wrapped around his fist.
Boom!
The flames exploded outward from the point of impact, shattering the wooden post into pieces.
The flame cloak on Tang Ping's body dissipated with the force of the blow.
"Signatureless jutsu?"
Kakashi and Koji Yamashiro were both stunned.
As ninjas, they knew all too well the power of signatureless jutsu in combat.
"No, that's the effect of the Flame Cloak!"
Tang Ping stepped over the charred fragments of the wooden post, walking toward them.
He was extremely satisfied with the C-rank jutsu he had developed. Despite its rank, its practicality was on par with B-rank jutsu.
B-rank jutsu were typically the trump cards of jonin.
While he couldn't compare to Obito, who used A-rank jutsu shortly after graduation, Obito was the son of the Sage of Six Paths and had a cheat-code life. As a Transdimensional Traveler without a system, he shouldn't think too much about it.
"Flame Cloak?"
Kakashi murmured to himself.
Though he knew many jutsu, they were all learned rather than created. Seeing this technique sparked a desire in him to develop his own jutsu.
However, he felt that if he was going to create a jutsu, it had to be stronger than Tang Ping's.
A competitive spirit ignited in Kakashi's heart.
Minato naturally saw the gleam in his student's eyes, but he wasn't worried; he was pleased.
"Tang Ping, you really did it!"
Koji Yamashiro was utterly incredulous.
"Yes, with Sensei Minato's guidance, I didn't waste my time!"
Tang Ping was clear about giving credit where it was due.
On his own, he might have had the right ideas and direction, but the time it would have taken to succeed was anyone's guess.
With Minato's guidance and assistance, he was able to skip the trial and error phase.
"No, even without me, Tang Ping, you would have eventually developed it!"
Minato shook his head, not taking the credit.
He knew that what he did could have been achieved by other jonin, though it might have taken more time.
But without Tang Ping's creativity and direction, the jutsu would have been impossible.
"Alright, stop arguing. This is a joint effort, isn't it?"
Naruto Uzumaki's Ancestor, Kyuukonai Uzumaki, interrupted the two.
Minato chuckled and didn't argue, leading Kakashi and Koji Yamashiro to the side for training.
Ninja techniques were a matter of life and death.
Unless Tang Ping intended to teach them, it was fine for them to observe, but they couldn't listen in on the details.
"Tang Ping, what aspect do you want me to guide you in?"
Kushina Uzumaki spoke directly, her personality never one for formalities.
"Kushina-nee, if I want to make the transformed flames last longer and burn hotter, do you think there's a way to do that?"
Dohei shared his thoughts and requirements.
Flame Cloak!
This Fire Release jutsu was the foundation of his jutsu development.
Thanks to the natural energy potion extracted from the Fusang tree, his proficiency in Fire Release had significantly improved. Coupled with the Uchiha clan's expertise in Fire Release, he decided to develop this jutsu.
The effect of the jutsu was quite straightforward:
Transformation, control!
Using his chakra to continuously transform into flames.
Most Fire Release jutsu involve chakra transforming into flames in a burst. However, if the burst is controlled, it becomes the foundation of this jutsu.
The challenge wasn't in transforming chakra into flames but in precisely and steadily maintaining the release.
Fortunately, his consistent training in chakra control allowed him to meet the standards.
The most dangerous part of this jutsu was his own resistance to the flames.
Even though chakra theoretically protected him from direct contact with the flames, his flesh and blood could only endure the high temperatures for so long.
But Dohei had a significant advantage here.
Adaptation!
Or, more accurately, the enhancement of his Fire Release talent, which also improved his resistance to flames.
What he could endure, others could not.
High temperature was a double-edged sword!
It was also the reason for developing the Flame Cloak.
For close combat!
Close combat was Dohei's weakness, and no matter how hard he tried to improve, the results were minimal.
But if he used the Flame Cloak, who would dare to engage him in close combat?
And if they didn't, he could easily handle jutsu exchanges, not to mention the support of his summoning beasts.
So,
The Flame Cloak jutsu was specifically designed to address his weaknesses.
After listening to his thoughts, Kushina Uzumaki fell into deep contemplation.
Sealing techniques could certainly achieve what Dohei wanted, and even better. The issue was that she would have to do it herself.
She needed to figure out how to enable Dohei to achieve this.
Dohei could see that she was thinking, so he remained silent, a flickering flame appearing in his palm.
Training!
No one ever complained about having too much chakra control, so he had never stopped working on it since his arrival.
Additionally, the current Flame Cloak was just the foundation.
Dohei's true goal was to develop the Sage Mode, or at the very least, a Flame Chakra Mode.
Here is the revised text with the non-English character replaced with its English equivalent, following the provided guidelines:
The direction was clear!
Whether it was Sage Mode or Chakra Mode, both paths were viable, and he didn't have to worry about taking the wrong path or hitting a dead end.
After a while, Kushina Uzumaki spoke slowly.
"I have two methods!"
"First, I can teach you sealing techniques, and you can gradually improve your jutsu!"
"Second, I can design a specific sealing array for you and seal it into a corresponding chakra tool..."
As expected of a descendant of the Uzumaki clan, the master of sealing techniques.
Not only did she have a way to meet Dohei's needs, but she had two methods.
The first was a long-term solution, while the second could solve the problem immediately.
However, each method had its pros and cons.
The first method was slow but would provide a long-lasting solution.
The second method was quick but made him vulnerable to enemy countermeasures and was extremely costly.
It was clear that the expenses for chakra tools would not be insignificant.
So, Kushina Uzumaki was curious to see which option her "little brother" would choose.
