Chapter 459: Ice Release
Six-sensei believed that Ino could try to develop her own Kekkei Mōra, tapping into the potential within her own body rather than relying on something like a Tailed Beast.
Whether it was a "try" or a "die" didn't matter. After all, you're not afraid of death, are you? Ino also found the idea of stuffing a Yin-Kurama inside her to be strange. Many of her thoughts really couldn't be shared with other people or creatures; she had too many secrets in her heart.
Carrying a large number of secrets would make it impossible to connect with a Tailed Beast's mind, and then things like Sage Fox Mode and Kurama Mode would be unusable.
If she could continue to improve herself, it would certainly be better than being a jinchuriki.
Ino carefully looked through the notes her master had given her. Judging by the handwriting, it was from when Hagoromo was young.
While Sakura was diligently practicing a B-rank Water Release ninjutsu, she was already contemplating Kekkei Mōra... "First, establish one chakra nature as the foundation, and then fuse the remaining chakra natures based on it..."
After studying it for a long time, Ino found that she had actually already taken this step.
Wood Release was a Kekkei Genkai composed of water and earth natures, plus Yang nature. In fact, Wood Release was already a Kekkei Tōta that fused three chakra natures. It was only because outsiders did not have Ashura's chakra and did not understand the key to it, making them unable to replicate the process, that it was defined as a Kekkei Genkai.
There was nothing more to be said on Ino's part. Her Water Release was her best, honed step by step through her own hard work.
Coincidentally, the foundation of Wood Release was also Water Release. So now, she would use her water-nature chakra as the foundation for her Kekkei Mōra.
How to fuse them? Just shout and add points? That certainly wouldn't work.
She had to use her water nature as the base and sequentially integrate the other six chakra natures into her bloodline. Only then would the Kekkei Mōra be officially complete.
Understanding it in your head is not enough. For the body to understand, that is true understanding.
She had to deeply engrave these chakra natures into her bloodline, making them a bodily instinct, and then fuse them together so that there was no longer any distinction between water, fire, yin, and yang. At that point, her bloodline would be a Kekkei Mōra.
Water plus Earth plus Yang is Wood Release. Water plus Wind is Ice Release. Water plus Fire is Boil Release. Water plus Lightning is Storm Release.
When a normal ninja uses Fire Release, they must first mix their physical and spiritual energy to knead chakra, then add the corresponding chakra nature transformation.
Kekkei Genkai users are different. Their bloodlines are naturally endowed with a certain chakra nature.
Ino's development of her Kekkei Mōra was now utilizing this characteristic of Kekkei Genkai.
Because of her Wood Release, Ino's bloodline already had the natures of water, earth, and yang. To add the wind nature, she had to unlock Ice Release. To add the fire nature, she had to unlock Boil Release. To add the lightning nature, she had to unlock Storm Release.
By using these three Kekkei Genkai to integrate the three chakra natures of wind, fire, and lightning into her own bloodline, she would have fused six chakra natures. The last one remaining was the yin nature. There were no shortcuts for this step; it could only be polished and comprehended through time. However, Ino was confident that she was very skilled in Yin Release, so this step should not be a problem for her... She now needed to raise her five basic elemental releases to Lv5, and then sequentially raise Ice, Boil, and Storm Release to Lv5 as well, which required a large number of pot points.
Ino's first step was to add Ice Release.
She had once occupied Haku's body with the Mind Body Switch Technique, and the panel had recorded the usage requirements for Ice Release.
After some thought, she first used 4 pot points to raise Wind Release from Lv4 to Lv5, then used another 4 pot points to raise "Seal" from 9 to 10. The last remaining point was just enough to unlock Lv1 of Ice Release.
This point had to be added; it was the difference between having it and not. Afterward, she should be able to level up to Lv2 and Lv3 through her own practice.
Her stats after adding the points were: Nin 10, Tai 8, Gen 8, Ken 10, Riki 6, Soku 10, Sei 10, In 10. Total stats: 72.
Water, Earth, Wind, Yin, and Yang Release were all Lv5. Fire Release was Lv4, and Lightning Release was Lv3.
In terms of Kekkei Genkai, Wood Release was Lv5, and Ice Release was Lv1.
For the next few days, Ino was hard at work practicing Ice Release. Haku's Ice Release could serve as a reference, but Haku's path was not suitable for Ino. When she had looted the Hidden Mist Village before, she had obtained the ninjutsu scrolls of the Yuki clan for using Ice Release, which she could now study.
She created ten shadow clones to practice together with her main body. In the blink of an eye, she broke through to Lv2 and was not far from Lv3.
For Ino, there was no lack of basic theory; the rest was just a matter of practice.
Several days later, she once again came to the world of the dead.
The master and disciple first had a discussion about the ideas of Ninshū. Six-sensei expressed his appreciation for Ino's diligent study and the large number of reflections she had written.
Ino gave a relatively comprehensive explanation of how contemporary young ninjas, in the new era and under new circumstances, could pass on the ideas of Ninshū to better serve the ninja world.
Six-sensei was very pleased, feeling that she had learned the essence of Ninshū's ideas.
Ino also proposed the saying "to love Ninshū is to love the ninja world." Six-sensei thought her viewpoint was a bit narrow, but understandable for a young person.
With their ideas aligned, the subsequent teaching process went quite smoothly.
At the end of the lesson, Ino raised her own question: "Master, my ocular power was almost full before, but after awakening the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai, I feel that the overflowing sensation has disappeared. Why is that?"
She was secretive about her Ice Release in Konoha because she couldn't explain how she had such a Kekkei Genkai. Even as the head of the sensory squad, after training, she would use Fire and Water Release to cover up the scene, just in case any traces were discovered.
With Six-sensei, there was no need to worry at all.
He was born with seven natures, and his talent and comprehension were frighteningly high. After a little research, he had developed a Kekkei Mōra. A Kekkei Genkai like Ice Release was extremely simple in Six-sensei's eyes. Wasn't it something you could figure out just by thinking about it? What was so strange about it?
Or perhaps in his view, I spent so much time teaching you profound ninjutsu theories, and you only awakened a single Ice Release? Your aptitude is really not that high! Ino was not showing off, and Six-sensei also thought it was a commonplace matter.
As for Ino's question, Six-sensei answered almost without thinking: "Accumulation. The Ōtsutsuki clan actually values accumulation the most. Whether it was my mother, myself, or Hamura, we all accumulated for a very long time. You've met that descendant of Hamura before. He indeed has some flaws, but his accumulation is also much thicker than yours."
The old man pointed with his hand, and a water cup appeared out of thin air in front of them.
"Originally, you were just this water cup. After adding the wind-nature chakra to your bloodline through Ice Release, you became like this."
The original water cup had turned into a large mug.
The old man continued, "I once told Indra about this matter as well, but he was too obsessed with the power before him and wasted his great talent. I told him to slow down, but he didn't listen and went further and further down the wrong path."
