The Water Thunder Body Forging Method is a secret body forging technique originating from the Cloud Ninja Village.
As is well known, Cloud Ninja Village has always been famous in the ninja world for its powerful Lightning Style and Taijutsu.
Cloud Ninja Village is located in a high mountain range, where the altitude is extremely high, and the air is thin.
Therefore, every child who grows up normally in Cloud Ninja Village has exceptional physical fitness, far surpassing their peers from other countries.
Additionally, due to its proximity to high altitudes, Cloud Ninja Village frequently experiences thunderstorms, which results in the villagers having a unique affinity for lightning. Nearly nine and a half out of every ten people possess Lightning Chakra.
As a result, Cloud Ninja Village ninjas have a natural advantage when training in Lightning Style and Taijutsu.
After the First Ninja World War, the Third Raikage—A—emerged as an exceptionally talented individual.
He combined Cloud Ninja Village's two signature techniques, Lightning Style and Taijutsu, into a powerful ninja body technique!
This technique has both the attack power of Lightning Style and the speed and agility of Taijutsu, making it extraordinarily powerful.
It is said that recently, the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki in Cloud Ninja Village went berserk, and it was the Third Raikage alone who suppressed it, shocking the ninja world.
As a result, in ninja world lore, the Third Raikage has earned titles like "Human-Tailed Beast," "The Strongest Spear," and "The Strongest Shield."
The ninjas of Cloud Ninja Village also consider the Third Raikage to be the strongest Raikage, surpassing his predecessors, the First and Second Raikages. It seems unlikely that anyone will surpass him in the future.
The reason I mention all of this is to explain the extraordinary origins of the Water Thunder Body Forging Method.
Indeed, according to the system's information, the Water Thunder Body Forging Method was created by the Third Raikage and is the key to mastering the ninja body technique.
Only by learning the Water Thunder Body Forging Method and transforming one's body to adapt to Lightning Style can one truly master the ninja body technique.
Upon seeing this, Mo Yu became even more eager and felt that the 10 gold coins he spent were well worth it.
...
To practice the Water Thunder Body Forging Method, there are two essential prerequisites: First, you must possess both Water and Lightning Chakra attributes within your body. Second, you need a special item called Thunderstrike Stone.
Mo Yu himself has no natural talent as a ninja, but after the system forcibly enhanced his strength, he now possesses all the chakra attributes. So the first condition is no problem.
As for the second condition...
Thunderstrike Stone is a specialty of Cloud Ninja Village, a type of stone that has undergone years of exposure to lightning, forming a unique mineral capable of storing electrical energy.
While this stone doesn't have much practical use, it is rare and highly valuable. Aside from the Land of Thunder, it is very difficult to buy elsewhere, and even if one does find it for sale, it is incredibly expensive.
However, for Mo Yu, the easiest solution was to simply exchange it in the system.
After checking the system, it didn't take long before Mo Yu had a purple stone in his hand.
The stone was about the size of his thumb, with a smooth and rounded surface, and tiny electrical arcs were flashing across it, quite beautiful to look at.
Thunderstrike Stones come in varying sizes, with their prices differing accordingly.
The one in Mo Yu's hand, about the size of his thumb, cost 1 gold coin. There were larger ones, such as those the size of a fist, a head, or even as big as a washbasin, with the most expensive ones costing over a hundred gold coins.
For Mo Yu, who was just beginning to practice the Water Thunder Body Forging Method, this one was more than enough.
He took the stone and placed it in a bath barrel filled with water. Immediately, the water turned purple, and electrical arcs danced wildly within it.
Mo Yu reached into the water and immediately felt a tingling, numb sensation.
However, the electrical current was weak. Aside from causing slight discomfort, it wasn't harmful.
Mo Yu took off his clothes and immersed his entire body in the water.
As soon as he entered, every hair on his body stood on end, and he felt a deep, electric tingling throughout.
Mo Yu controlled his emotions, taking several deep breaths, before beginning to practice the technique as outlined in the Water Thunder Body Forging Method.
The body forging process consists of two steps:
Channel the lightning in the water into your body.
Control the lightning within the body to stimulate cells and strengthen muscles.
There is an important detail here: the lightning must be absorbed within the water's protection, entering through the pores of the body bit by bit.
This is why practitioners of the Water Thunder Body Forging Method must possess both Water and Lightning Chakra attributes.
Lightning itself is inherently violent and destructive, and even the smallest electrical current, if it enters the body directly, will only damage the cells' activity and won't provide the strengthening effect.
Therefore, the water's ability to nurture and contain everything is used to neutralize and absorb the violent power of the lightning, allowing the body to safely take it in.
The Water Thunder Body Forging Method inherently includes a technique to draw the lightning into the body. Since all the information has been directly implanted by the system, Mo Yu's mastery of the technique is 100%.
Without any hesitation or unfamiliarity, he used the technique, enveloping the lightning with water and drawing it into his body through every pore.
The process went smoothly, thanks to his 100% proficiency.
But it wasn't time to relax yet. Once the lightning enters the body, the key is to absorb it quickly, or it will dissipate.
Mo Yu began to channel his chakra, releasing both the Lightning and Water Chakra energies. The lightning, now surrounded by water, was drawn toward Mo Yu's chakra, entering it with no hindrance.
From here on, it was simple.
As his chakra circulated through his meridians, the lightning was naturally absorbed into his body.
At first, Mo Yu only dared to absorb a small amount of lightning into his body as an experiment. After succeeding, he became bolder and started to absorb more lightning at a faster rate.
Eventually, all the pores on his body opened up, and with the momentum of a whale swallowing, both the water and lightning from the bath barrel were "eaten" into his body, forming a small vortex.
Ten minutes later, only half the water remained in the barrel, and the electric arcs had completely disappeared.
Mo Yu slowly opened his eyes, and electric sparks appeared in the air around him.
With a "crack," it sounded like an electrical light shot out from his pupils.
Mo Yu reached into the barrel, picked up a grayish-white stone covered in cracks.
This Thunderstrike Stone had reached the end of its life and could no longer be used.
When Mo Yu stepped out of the barrel, his physique appeared mostly unchanged, but it was clear that his muscles had started to subtly bulge, with more definition than before.
He clenched his fists, feeling the power within his body, and muttered to himself, "The enhancement isn't as strong as when I used the Zhulong Strong Body Ointment, but that's because I used the lowest-grade Thunderstrike Stone. If I used a Thunderstrike Stone with more stored lightning, the effect would definitely surpass the Zhulong Ointment."
"Moreover, the Zhulong Ointment's enhancement effect is limited. After ten uses, it loses effectiveness, but the Water Thunder Body Forging Method... As long as I continue absorbing stronger lightning, maybe I can keep strengthening my body?"
"Right, I could also try using the Zhulong Strong Body Ointment and the Water Thunder Body Forging Method simultaneously. Since their processes don't conflict, I might get unexpected results."
Mo Yu's eyes gleamed brighter.
