Chapter 4: Striking This Guy Until He Becomes a Fool?
According to scientific records, the average adult male on Earth has about thirty-six trillion cells in his body, while the average adult female has about twenty-eight trillion.
That was only equivalent to a fraction of the cell count found in a human from the Naruto world.
The total was less than a full quarter of what the Naruto side possessed.
What did this mean? It meant that for a person from Earth to extract Chakra was nearly impossible.
Because the cells in an Earthling's body simply couldn't withstand having their energy squeezed out.
After Tsunade understood this point, she told Yumesaki bluntly that if he tried to squeeze cell energy to extract Chakra, there would be only one outcome...
Massive cell death, affecting his overall health.
The more he squeezed, the faster he'd die.
And because of the low cell count, Yumesaki wouldn't be able to possess Chakra equivalent to a normal Genin even if he tried until the day he died.
If he wanted to change this condition, there were only two ways.
The first way: consuming a Chakra Fruit.
A Chakra Fruit possessed immense energy. Once eaten, it could reconstruct Yumesaki's body, granting him formidable power.
But this method came with a high level of uncertainty.
The power of a Chakra Fruit was too overwhelming, whereas Yumesaki's body was too fragile.
So, after eating a Chakra Fruit, whether Yumesaki would reach the heavens in one step or simply explode instantly—even Tsunade wasn't sure.
The second way: injecting Hashirama Senju's cells to reconstruct the body.
Back when Yumesaki first heard Tsunade's explanation, his face held an expression that clearly said, "Do you even hear yourself right now?"
The Chakra Fruit was an item only mentioned once in the lore; it never physically appeared in the actual plot. Where was Yumesaki supposed to find such a thing?
As for injecting Hashirama Senju's cells—was he supposed to do that because he was afraid of not dying fast enough?
Therefore, from that point on, Yumesaki had discarded any thoughts of learning Ninjutsu or refining Chakra.
Since he couldn't learn Chakra and Ninjutsu, what other appeal did the Naruto world hold for Yumesaki?
None. Not even a little.
Oh wait, that was wrong. There was still a tiny bit. For example... Ichiraku Ramen.
This was also the reason why Tsunade had brought Shizune and Yumesaki back to Konoha.
After she finished reading the Naruto manga, even though Tsunade had been moved by Yumesaki's words and planned to follow him on an adventure to other worlds to find a way to save the ninja world and fight the Otsutsuki clan...
She had no intention of returning to Konoha. After leaving for so many years, she really didn't want to go back.
However, unfortunately, Yumesaki was extremely interested in Ichiraku Ramen.
Even though his interest in the Naruto world had plummeted because he couldn't learn Ninjutsu, this thing called Ichiraku Ramen was spoken of by groups of Transmigrators as if it were something divine.
Since he had already come this far, it wouldn't feel right if he didn't go and have a taste.
So, in the end, Tsunade brought him and Shizune back to Konoha, and Yumesaki successfully ate the Ichiraku Ramen he had so desperately wanted.
How should he put it... it was delicious, truly, but it hadn't reached that mind-blowing level that haunts your dreams.
If Yumesaki had to eat it every day, he wouldn't be willing.
But if it was just to go and have a bowl once in a while, Yumesaki wouldn't refuse.
That was roughly the level of its tastiness.
After tasting the Ichiraku Ramen, Yumesaki completely lost his curiosity about this world. If he could leave right now for a new world, he wouldn't object at all.
But what made him feel helpless was that his special ability wasn't working at full capacity.
Yumesaki could clearly feel that he would "soon" be able to activate his ability to connect to a new world, but exactly how fast that "soon" was—even Yumesaki didn't know.
It was like a progress bar stuck at ninety-nine percent, making him feel incredibly tortured.
Seeing Yumesaki's helpless expression, Tsunade let out a sigh.
Forget it, it doesn't matter if I wait a few more days.
"Tidy up the house first." She summoned another Shadow Clone, ordering it to start working.
"Hmph, we're both Tsunade. Why do you get to sit here while I have to work?"
The Shadow Clone complained even as it began obediently cleaning the surroundings.
Yumesaki watched the busy Shadow Clone, his eyes flickering with a hint of envy.
To be honest, regarding the issue of not being able to learn Chakra and Ninjutsu—even though Yumesaki didn't dwell on it too much—there was still a small lingering regret.
He didn't have a massive interest in high-level Ninjutsu.
Things like the Rasengan, Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song, Monstrous Strength, or the Flying Thunder God Technique; if he couldn't learn them, then so be it.
But the Shadow Clone Technique was truly practical. When exploring other worlds in the future, that technique could be extremely useful.
Yumesaki really wanted to learn it.
"So, is there really absolutely no way for me to refine Chakra? And learn Ninjutsu?"
After thinking it over and over, Yumesaki decided to ask one more time, hoping for a surprise answer.
Tsunade saw the longing look on his face. She pondered for a moment, then spoke. "It's not that it's completely impossible."
Yumesaki immediately straightened his posture. He hadn't expected there to actually be a surprise answer.
Tsunade said, "These past few days, I've been reading a lot of medical data from your world, especially regarding cloning. I've gained a deep understanding of it."
"If I were to collaborate with Orochimaru now, perhaps we could use Grandfather Hashirama's cells to clone a body, then transfer your soul into that cloned body."
"At that point, not only would you be able to refine Chakra, but you could also learn Ninjutsu—you might even possess Grandfather Hashirama's Wood Release that once pacified this chaotic world."
"So, how about it? Want to consider it?"
Facing such a temptation, Yumesaki shook his head without the slightest hesitation. His original body was still the best; he had no plans to swap bodies.
What if his ability to connect to other worlds disappeared?
Yumesaki wouldn't do anything that put him at a disadvantage.
"Forget it. I have no intention of becoming your grandfather."
"Get lost."
Tsunade shot Yumesaki an annoyed look. She had offered this guy advice out of the goodness of her heart, yet he dared to take advantage of her.
If she didn't still need his help, she definitely would have delivered a strike of Monstrous Strength.
Did he really think he could just play her for a fool?
But even so, she didn't plan on letting Yumesaki off easily. She raised her hand and flicked her fingers toward him.
A sharp snap rang out as Tsunade's fingers struck the air, creating a muffled thud.
Yumesaki instantly felt as if his skull had been struck by an invisible force. His entire body fell backward onto the tatami mats with a heavy thud.
"That was an Air Bullet I modified using Monstrous Strength, based on the Shigan technique from the Rokushiki in that One Piece manga. How was it? Was the power just right to daze you without damaging your brain?"
Tsunade looked at Yumesaki with a smile, speaking in a mocking tone.
A second later, Yumesaki couldn't stop himself from bursting into laughter, as if he had transformed into one of the four legendary madly-laughing Uchiha.
Tsunade watched the laughing Yumesaki with a confused expression, her brow furrowing involuntarily.
What's the situation here? Could I have miscalculated and used too much force... and actually struck this guy until he became a fool?
