Chapter 55: Ye Shan's Strange Ideas

From that night on, Ye Shan put everything aside and devoted himself completely to cultivation except visiting his mother every day. He was nicknamed the "cultivation maniac" by Uchiha Fugaku.

Gradually, the results of Ye Shan's training became less and less, which made him very upset. Ye Shan knew that the profession of ninja was never about hard work, but about talent and blood. If it weren't for Ye Shan's several adventures and Hatake Sakumo's teachings, his body would have stopped at the rank of Jonin at most.

But in the ninja world, although there are not many jonin, there are still many. Only by becoming a Kage-level strongman can you truly stand on the top of the ninja world and be qualified to enjoy the scenery at the top.

Ye Shan wanted to smash his skull open, take out his brain, and question it with a kunai. Where is the system that a time traveler needs? It has been eighteen years, and it is time to open the cheat. If he doesn't open it, he, Ye Shan, will be old...

Unfortunately, Ye Shan is not the ruthless person who dares to cut himself, so he can only practice silently with all his strength.

The atmosphere in the village became increasingly weird, and rumors about Hatake Sakumo were increasing. Ye Shan wanted to remind them, but when he thought of the other party's attitude, he had to give up.

On this day, Ye Shan, who was trying hard to refine chakra, made a sad discovery that even if he sat for several hours, the chakra extracted from the cells in his body was still negligible. He knew that his mental power had reached its limit and his strength was about to stop here.

Ye Shan was very unwilling. His chakra amount was not small, far exceeding that of ordinary jonin, but there was still a big gap from Jiraiya's magnificent chakra amount. The strength of a ninja is certainly determined by the type and strength of the technique he masters, but the amount of chakra is still very important.

A ninja with a lot of chakra is not necessarily a top-notch warrior, but a top-notch warrior must have a lot of chakra. This is the iron rule of the ninja world. At least, Ye Shan never found that Jiraiya's chakra was exhausted during the battle.

From a realistic perspective, Ye Shan's ninja journey is about to end here. At best, he is just an elite jonin without the power of bloodline limit. Among the tens of thousands of Konoha ninjas, elite jonins are considered strong. Ye Shan's master Konishi Kakuei is an elite jonin.

Strength determines status. The elite jonin is certainly not weak, but if he wants to become the real core of Konoha Village, he is not good enough.

The bottleneck in his practice troubled Ye Shan, so he had to give up his daily practice and asked Uchiha Fugaku to borrow his collection of books. The Uchiha clan is the top clan in the ninja world, and they have collected books handed down from the Warring States period, which are all-encompassing and of great research value. Ye Shan wanted to find a way to break the limit of his body and improve his strength from the books. Uchiha Fugaku readily agreed to Ye Shan's request, but the books he lent to Ye Shan were all about the life profiles and practice insights of ninjas without bloodline boundaries.

Ye Shan had no objection to this. He was not coveting the Uchiha clan's eyes. He just simply wanted to refer to the experience of his predecessors and find a path that suits him.

For several months, Ye Shan lived and ate in the Uchiha clan's library, reading through countless cultivation experiences and insights left by their predecessors, but still had no inspiration at all.

Ye Shan threw the yellowed book in his hand to the ground in annoyance, and slumped down on the chair, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes. When civilian ninjas no longer have the inheritance of the holy land, the elite jonins are the top, and countless ancient books have emphasized this to Ye Shan. But the Uchiha clan, the god of the ninja world, does not have the inheritance of the holy land, let alone Ye Shan, a civilian ninja.

Konoha Village does have inheritors of the holy land, the famous three ninjas, but the key is that they will not pass it on to Yeshan.

After a long sigh, Ye Shan walked out of the library dejectedly. All his efforts were in vain. Perhaps, he, Baiyun Ye Shan, really stopped here.

When Ye Shan walked out of the house, he suddenly realized that autumn had arrived. Feeling the cool breeze in the air, Ye Shan missed the happy time of eating hot pot and singing in his previous life. He could not help but quicken his pace, thinking about going home to make a hot pot to reward himself.

Previous life? ? ?

Ye Shan paused, suddenly remembering that he was a unique time traveler. He could make use of the human body knowledge from his previous life and the cultivation common sense from novels to try to improve his strength!

Thinking of this, Ye Shan's heart became active again. After all, chakra is just a kind of energy body. Since it is a power body, can he try the methods of cultivation?

Just like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, Ye Shan stopped eating and drinking, and went straight to the training ground, eager to verify his idea.

After seven or eight days, Ye Shan sat on the ground of the training ground, pounding the ground with his fists. His eyes were bloodshot and his hair was messy. It was obvious that his ideas were ruthlessly rejected by the energy of chakra.

Chakra, as a violent energy body in the Naruto world, cannot be compressed and purified by the user like the spiritual energy in the novels of immortal cultivation. Continuously releasing chakra is a painful thing. Ye Shan is simply unable to control the chakra to run according to his own intentions.

Ye Shan buried his head in his crotch, grabbed his hair with both hands, and rolled back and forth on the ground to vent his frustration. He felt like his liver was about to be exhausted.

A book slipped out of the ninja tool bag behind Ye Shan's waist. Ye Shan, who was covered in dirt, stopped rolling around, picked up the book and glanced at it, only to find that it was the book "Chakra Extraction". He became more and more annoyed, took out a kunai, and stabbed the book.

Ye Shan naturally knew how to refine chakra, and the reason he kept this book was purely for commemoration.

The book was soon stabbed into pieces in Ye Shan's hands, and Ye Shan's irritable mood was relieved. After throwing the book down, he stood up and planned to run a few laps to vent his anger.

An autumn breeze blew by, playfully blowing up the pages of books scattered on the ground, which happened to stick to Ye Shan's face. Ye Shan reached out and peeled off the torn pages. After taking a glance, he was ready to throw them away.

However, Ye Shan's outstretched hand was retracted by him like lightning, and he opened his eyes wide and read the pages of the book carefully.

'Chakra is an energy body extracted from cells in the body'

Ye Shan kept repeating this sentence, his eyes getting brighter and brighter. The extraction of chakra is inseparable from the cells in the body, so, can these cells be accurately targeted?

For example, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the kidneys in the human body belong to the element of water. So, does the chakra extracted simply from kidney cells naturally have water properties?

Ye Shan was shocked by his own strange idea, but then he was excited. He had never tried to extract chakra from a single cell group. This idea... was feasible.

Immediately, Ye Shan sat cross-legged, formed a seal with his hands to extract chakra, and entered a state of ecstasy. His mind sank into his body, searching for the location of the kidneys. Then, Ye Shan's mental power wrapped around the kidneys, trying to stimulate the kidney cells and extract chakra.

Ye Shan only felt a pain in his left waist, and his body shook involuntarily, and then a faint wisp of chakra was extracted from his kidney cells.

But before Ye Shan could show any joy, this strand of chakra directly merged into the chakra in his body and could no longer be distinguished.

Ye Shan was not annoyed but happy. At least his guess was feasible. As for whether the chakra extracted from kidney cells had water attributes, Ye Shan would need to use it to release ninjutsu to find out. But before that, what he needed to do was to solve the problem of storing this special chakra.

This matter is difficult to say but it is actually not difficult. Yeshan, who was a teammate of Minato Namikaze, knows the existence of sealing techniques. It seems that Yeshan will have to find Uchiha Fugaku and try to obtain a sealing technique to store chakra.

Ye Shan smiled. This was the benefit of leaning on a big tree. With the background of the Uchiha clan, a little something would be enough to benefit Ye Shan. Don't even think about expecting the Third Hokage to be so generous. As far as Ye Shan knew, Sarutobi Hiruzen had made a scroll of ninjutsu from the Sealed Book, which collected almost all the secrets in the village, and stipulated that no ninja could teach the ninjutsu in the Sealed Book without his approval. I don't know if he was crazy.

The spread and use of ninjutsu will undoubtedly enhance the overall strength of Konoha Village, but Sarutobi Hiruzen's move has cut off the path to promotion for civilian ninjas from the root. No wonder civilian ninjas criticize Hatake Sakumo behind his back. No one can afford to offend the Hokage, so they can fully afford to say a few words about Hatake Sakumo.

However, all roads lead to Rome. Sarutobi Hiruzen's path cannot be followed by Hayama, but Uchiha's path can be followed by Hayama, and that is enough.

Thinking of this, Ye Shan quickly returned home, changed into clean clothes, and went to the Konoha Guard Department, found Uchiha Fugaku, and explained his purpose.

Uchiha Fugaku has been very successful recently. Thanks to the suggestions made by Hayama, the Uchiha clan has successfully reversed the prejudice of the villagers. Now he has become obsessed with helping old ladies cross the road on a daily basis, and next month, he is getting married. He can be said to have achieved success in both career and love.

In response to Yeshan's request, Uchiha Fugaku fully demonstrated what a wealthy man is. He took out a bunch of sealing scrolls from the storage cabinet in his office and let Yeshan choose.

Ye Shan was very excited and didn't bother to be polite with Uchiha Fugaku. He opened the scrolls one by one and started reading.

Finally, Ye Shan chose a sealing technique called Chakra attribute sealing. This sealing technique is only a B-level ninjutsu, but it is very suitable for Ye Shan to use. Its ability is to seal attribute chakra, and when necessary, the caster can open the seal and release the sealed chakra.

From this moment on, Yeshan's journey as a ninja began to become strange.
