Even in her normal state, she could easily enter a state of mental clarity, free from distractions, which already met the requirements for Sage Mode.
However, she still couldn't use Reincarnation Technique. She was currently using this state of no thoughts or desires to absorb Natural Energy and strengthen her body and soul.
Night training could also restore her mental and physical fatigue, heal injuries, and recover from mental damage.
The best choice was Chakra nature transformation. She was currently focusing most of her efforts on Wind Release, Earth Release, and Water Release.
Wind Release was for Wind Release Chakra Mode and Gale Sword Technique, which could directly enhance her combat power.
Earth Release and Water Release were for the future integration of Paper Release Bloodline Limit. Paper Release, combined with Exploding Tags and Sealing Technique, was the best combination.
Moreover, it allowed for flight, could become a money-printing machine, and its offensive power was not weak, making it a very cost-effective Bloodline Limit.
Although it was countered by Fire Release, she could also develop fireproof and waterproof paper. Plus, with Exploding Tags transforming into Exploding Tag Cards, she would then be able to use these flying cards to blow people up.
Exploding Tags were too soft to be thrown far, but hard paper Exploding Tag Cards were different; they would definitely be more effective than Shuriken.
However, she was still far from meeting the Chakra nature transformation requirements for integrating a Bloodline Limit.
In the early morning, Ling still sent a Shadow Clone to school, while also having her learn Yanyang Village's mechanism techniques and trap layouts.
She herself had two Shadow Clones stay at home, one practicing Wind Release Chakra Mode and the other practicing the cultivation of the State of Sitting-Forgetfulness.
As for Ling herself, she was preparing to go out for a stroll, because today Gennō would hand over the last disassembled Exploding Tags to her, which meant another large sum of money coming in.
After checking the four followers behind her with Curse Power sensing techniques, Ling felt these people were quite nice, escorting her all the way when she went out.
Let them monitor, anyway, being monitored by those she had already discovered was beneficial to her.
Sometimes she could use false information to mislead the people behind these monitors, causing them to make wrong judgments and then profiting from it.
However, even when going out for a stroll, Ling was still training her Chakra control. Ling felt that the difficulty in maintaining her Wind Release Chakra Mode was due to insufficient Chakra control.
She condensed a compressed Chakra ball in her hand, holding it as a method for training Chakra control.
The compressed Chakra orb had no weight, but it was affected by planetary gravity. When she threw it up, it would fall back into her hand.
It was like holding a basketball, occasionally even spinning on her fingertips. Although it looked very dangerous, it was actually not safe at all.
Although Ling effortlessly tossed the compressed orb, which had the power of C4, in her hand, she was actually controlling the Chakra within it at all times.
Even when thrown, she had to calculate the time it would take to fall back into her hand. If it exceeded the time limit, this compressed Chakra orb would become unstable, and if left for a period or subjected to external force, it would explode.
Ling herself didn't feel it was dangerous holding it, but the Ninja she encountered along the way could all sense the intense Chakra fluctuation of this glowing blue sphere.
This made these Ninja avoid her like the plague, fearing that this Ninja Academy Student-sized little girl would suddenly throw it at them, which would be a beautiful demise.
Ling passed by the Konoha Village gate. At this time, the guards were not Kotetsu Hagane and Izumo Kamizuki, but two rather aloof Chunin.
They were checking the entry and exit permits for passing merchants and Ninja. With the shadow of war looming over various Villages, the number of traveling merchants had greatly decreased.
Upon reaching the forest, Ling first arrived at the agreed meeting point with Gennō. Finding that Gennō had not yet arrived, she began to perform more advanced maneuvers with the compressed Chakra orb.
Using the method of condensing a Chakra Scalpel, she condensed a Chakra thread and connected it to the compressed orb.
Then she started playing with it like a yo-yo. She recalled that she used to be a master of yo-yo, but times had changed, and she had come to the Ninja World and become a little loli.
It was all tears, not only was she targeted by the big boss of the Ninja World, but she also had to face the manipulation of a gloomy old man in the Village.
Soon, Ling sensed Gennō's soul signature, so she used the Shadow Clone Technique, having her Shikigami Toad swallow the Shadow Clone, and headed towards Gennō's location.
She herself stayed put to attract the attention of the four people. With Ling's current Genjutsu mastery, these two people, one snake, and one White Zetsu had long been branded with her Genjutsu.
She could activate the Genjutsu at any time, making them see whatever she arranged for them, making it completely safe. This was all thanks to the enhancement of her soul by Natural Energy.
The reason her main body was still here was just in case, to prevent any sudden accidents, such as Orochimaru or Black Zetsu suddenly visiting.
These two old schemers could immediately tell that something was off with the White Zetsu and the small snake, so Ling only used Genjutsu to control these four monitors for a moment.
Fortunately, the last time she talked with Gennō, there were no Anbu or Root following her, or if there were, they had been subjected to Genjutsu by Black Zetsu or Orochimaru.
Otherwise, with Danzo's style, she would have already been surrounded by Root and then taken to the Interrogation Department.
On the other side, Ling had already received 500,000 Exploding Tags, and the remaining 200,000 were to be sold by Gennō at various exchange offices.
She was out of money; her millions of Ryo in savings had been spent in one month, all used to buy secret medicines to improve herself.
Fortunately, the effect was good, greatly improving her physical fitness. Most importantly, her height increased by three centimeters, now reaching 115 centimeters, barely reaching the average level.
Gennō also knew of Ling's progress during this period, because the two had fought once half a month ago, and he was completely crushed in Taijutsu, Genjutsu, and Ninjutsu.
This also made Gennō more loyal. He was surprised that a five-year-old girl like Ling already possessed the strength of a Jonin, and he no longer worried about Ling's future achievements.
The explosive period for a Ninja's strength is still between twelve and twenty-five years old. During this time, Chakra and physical fitness will grow rapidly. As for Ling, he couldn't imagine how terrifying she would be at twenty years old; perhaps she could even rival a god of the Ninja World.
After the toad spat out the Sealing Scroll and they set the next meeting time, Gennō left the area.
Ling, on the other hand, found it much more convenient; she could simply dispel her Shadow Clone and Shikigami Toad, which was extremely convenient, no less than Orochimaru's versatile snakes.
Retrieving the compressed Chakra orb, which was controlled by a Chakra thread and flying ten meters away, Ling prepared to return.
