Chapter 38 - Acupoint Chakra
The answer is that it doesn't matter for now.
Spring of the 35th year of Konoha.
Another year passed.
In the No. 2 laboratory of the Root Base, within Li Yao's life gate chakra acupoint, a special chakra emitting the same fluctuations as the invisible binding force of the acupoint barrier slowly merged into the acupoint barrier.
Then, a trace of normal chakra in the acupuncture points flowed out of the acupuncture points, and was immediately caught and sealed by the Bagua Sealing Technique.
Li Yao didn't care about this at all.
Chakra was flowing freely in his acupuncture points.
If Li Yao were in control of his body right now, the smile on his face would definitely be brilliant and he would definitely be filled with joy.
After a year and a half of research, he not only found a way to extract chakra from acupuncture points, but also achieved it.
In fact, the principle is very simple.
Li Yao discovered that the invisible force that bound the chakra tightly in the acupuncture points and could not escape was the same type of invisible force that sealed and imprisoned the chakra with the Bagua seal.
Li Yao boldly speculated that the sealing technique that seals and restricts the flow of chakra may have been developed with inspiration from the invisible forces that restrain chakra, such as acupuncture points and meridians.
Therefore, Li Yao's method of breaking through the invisible force that bound and blocked the chakra in the acupuncture point barrier was very simple, just like condensing the same chakra as the Bagua sealing technique chakra to get rid of the Bagua seal.
Li Yao only needs to gather chakra that can emit the same fluctuating force as the invisible force of the acupuncture point barrier.
The invisible force also emits a unique fluctuation when it binds chakra.
The sealing chakra of the Bagua Sealing Technique will also emit a kind of fluctuation, forming an invisible force to bind and confine the chakra.
Based on this characteristic, Li Yao deduced that chakra that emits the same fluctuations as the invisible force of the acupoints can remove the constraints of the invisible force of the acupoints just like removing a sealing technique.
It was just that because there was no ready-made chakra template, Li Yao could only rely on his own reverse deduction and exploration, so it took a little longer.
In fact, he came up with this idea half a year ago.
And it was not until today that he was able to condense the acupoint chakra that could release the invisible force that bound the acupoints.
Li Yao simply called this chakra that can release the invisible force of acupoints acupoint chakra. It is a new attribute chakra that has the attribute effect of restraining the flow of chakra.
This time it took a little longer to concentrate the chakra in the acupoints.
But the results are also gratifying.
Li Yao controlled the acupuncture chakra to open the acupuncture channel and control the normal chakra outflow, from a thread to a flow the size of chopsticks, and finally to closing. He could control the size of the acupuncture channel opened at will and control the size of the chakra outflow in the acupuncture channel.
It is different from the opening of the Eight Gates, which directly explodes the acupoints and releases the chakra in all the acupoints.
The acupoint chakra condensed by Li Yao is like a switch on a sluice gate, which can control the size of the acupoint opening channel, and then control the amount of chakra flowing out of the acupoint.
The biggest advantage of this ability to control the amount of chakra flowing out of the acupuncture points is that Li Yao does not have to worry about opening the acupuncture points causing a large amount of chakra to explode and harm his body.
In other words, even if he opened the Death Gate acupoint and called upon the chakra inside, he would not die.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the reason why the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu say that opening the Death Gate means death is because the amount of chakra in the Death Gate is very large, and the amount of chakra released when it is fully opened at once is too terrifying.
The body simply cannot withstand that level of chakra impact.
That's why there is a saying that if you open the door of death, you will die.
But if one only opens a small channel in the Death Gate acupoint like Li Yao, and calls on chakra through the meridian channel like Dantian, then there is no need to worry about the chakra causing impact and damage to the physical body.
With acupoint chakra, the countless chakra acupoints on Li Yao's body are no different from dantian that can store chakra.
In addition, the acupoints themselves can restrain the chakra and prevent it from escaping.
In a sense, each acupoint is a Yin seal that can store chakra that is not normally used.
If Li Yao fills up all the chakra acupoints in his body, his chakra capacity will exceed a limit.
At least it is a thousand times more than when he only has one dantian to store chakra.
Such a large amount of chakra is basically enough for him to use in battle.
Apart from the Jinchūriki, his chakra should not be less than that of others.
Thinking of this, Li Yao was very satisfied.
One acupoint chakra completely solved his problem of insufficient chakra.
Now there is a place to hide the chakra.
It is also possible to extract the chakra from the acupuncture points.
The next question is how to convert these chakras into combat power.
According to Li Yao's plan.
He must first have the strength to leave this secret base, and then the next step is to consider developing a perfect transformation technique to avoid the perception barrier of Konoha Village and the tracking perception of Konoha's ninjas with chakra perception ability, and then escape from Konoha.
If you don't have the strength to get out of here.
Even if he developed a perfect transformation technique, it would be difficult for him to get out of here.
Over the past year, because no one had come to take care of him, Li Yao regained control of his body once. He saw where he was and realized that he should be in an underground research base.
This kind of research base must be filled with various sensory barriers and defensive barriers.
Even if he could turn into a bird without chakra, he couldn't get out.
Moreover, the sudden appearance of a bird or a snake in such an underground research base is extremely obvious and will indicate something is wrong at first glance.
Li Yao would not underestimate the ninja's observation skills.
Minato's appearance is still vivid in Li Yao's mind, and he will not make the same mistake again.
So he must first have strong strength.
But...how to transform chakra into strength?
Li Yao pondered.
For Li Yao, there are only two ways to transform chakra into strength: ninjutsu and genjutsu.
There is no need to consider physical skills.
He couldn't move at all now. He couldn't do physical exercises that required the body to move.
I can only work hard on ninjutsu and illusion.
The ninjutsu he currently knows include the basic three-body technique and the shadow clone technique he obtained from reading the notes of his predecessor's father.
He doesn't know any other ninjutsu, including the Rasengan.
Although he can easily condense chakra of other attributes, the prerequisite is that he has relevant ninjutsu seals and attribute chakra as templates, so that he can easily copy, condense and develop them.
But he didn't have any chakra templates for any other ninjutsu now, and didn't know the corresponding changes in chakra properties and forms. If he relied on himself, he could only work backwards like he did when condensing chakra in acupoints.
But there is a problem with this self-exploration method, which is that it is time-consuming.
But Li Yao just doesn't have that much time.
Although no one has paid any attention to him for almost two years.
But Li Yao knew very well that the third generation had not forgotten him.
Maybe at some point she would remember him, come over and kill him quickly, and then die.
Li Yao is not afraid of death now.
He just didn't want to die like this.
So he must improve his strength in a short period of time.
It is not possible to improve ninjutsu in a short period of time now.
Not to mention illusions.
He has an illusion... Hmm... It seems like he doesn't know any of them!
Li Yao suddenly recalled the technique that the Third Generation had been using on him. He now remembered that once, the Third Generation had said the words "Darkness Technique" in a fit of rage.
Now he suddenly remembered all his memories of his past life.
The Dark Walking Technique is an illusion developed by the second generation specifically to restrain the Sharingan. It can block people's vision and make them fall into darkness.
Although this illusion has no actual attack power, it is definitely an auxiliary ninjutsu that is very suitable for Li Yao.
At least without powerful offensive ninjutsu, the Dark Movement Technique was of great help to him in escaping from the base.
"Let's learn this illusion first."
Li Yao made a decision instantly.
He remembered that the last few times the Third Hokage had used the Dark Movement Technique on him, his soul had already merged into the chakra, giving him the ability to sense changes in the nature and form of chakra.
Although the chakra of the Third Hokage did not come into contact with his chakra at that time, the illusion chakra he used when he launched the illusion did come into contact with Li Yao's chakra.
Li Yao frantically recalled the changes in the nature and form of the chakra of the third generation's illusionary dark technique.
While thinking, Li Yao controlled the chakra in the acupuncture points to simulate changes in properties and forms.
Because nearly two years had passed since he lost his memory, Li Yao was unclear about the changes in the nature and form of the chakra in the Darkness Walking Technique and could only work his way back.
However, compared to the acupoint chakra that can only be explored through reverse deduction of fluctuations, reverse deduction of the chakra of the Dark Movement Technique should be much easier.
But no matter how easy it is, at least one or two months will not be enough.
After a month or two, Li Yao felt that it was okay.
