Because Wind Release Chakra has specific circulation patterns even outside the body, and only then can it return through specific acupoints for internal circulation, the difficulty is quite high.
As dusk fell, Irming Yagyu's Wind Release Chakra Mode had not yet been mastered, but this was normal.
It usually takes several days for an average person to learn a C-rank Ninjutsu, so Irming Yagyu was calm.
However, the night hours couldn't be wasted. Ever since Irming Yagyu discovered that practicing the State of Forgetting could replenish her mental and physical energy, she rarely slept.
She relied entirely on Orochimaru's snake venom to enter that ethereal state and comprehend the State of Forgetting.
After many days of practice, Irming Yagyu's mind was now much less cluttered when meditating.
It's important to know that modern people's minds are constantly cluttered, and they rarely achieve focus, let alone meditate when completely alone.
Regarding meditation methods, visualization methods, and sitting meditation, Irming Yagyu found that their effects were similar, so she naturally chose the visualization method, which was the most comfortable posture and least likely to make her fall asleep.
Lying on the bed, Irming Yagyu's consciousness slowly calmed. After applying snake venom to her glabella, Irming Yagyu directly entered that state of a clear mind, allowing the Natural Energy drawn into her body to help her body adapt.
Irming Yagyu knew that the State of Forgetting was difficult to achieve, but preliminary practice of Sage Mode was still possible.
Although her Chakra reserves were insufficient to stabilize Sage Mode, it didn't mean she couldn't blend Sage Art Chakra.
The proportion was also very simple; Irming Yagyu would combine some Sage Art Chakra each time, but she didn't use it as Chakra to release Ninjutsu.
Instead, she allowed it to circulate within her body, letting her body remember this feeling, and this process would also allow her body and mind to absorb a portion of the Sage Art Chakra.
This kind of feedback made Irming Yagyu understand the true use of Sage Art Chakra: to continuously allow the body to adapt to Sage Art Chakra and absorb a portion of it.
This was actually the reason why the Sages of the Three Great Sage Locations could live long lives, because they only used Sage Art Chakra as energy to nourish themselves, not to squander it.
Humans learned Sage Art only as a means of combat, never thinking of continuously adapting themselves to Sage Mode and eventually stabilizing it permanently.
This absorption of Sage Art Chakra by her body made Irming Yagyu feel as if her body was evolving. Perhaps in the future, she could even become a Sage Body.
However, it wouldn't be the same as Senju Hashirama's Sage Body, which was due to his Ashura Chakra cheat, but rather like Jugo's Sage Body. Yet, the Sage Body Irming Yagyu would ultimately cultivate would be controllable and wouldn't lead to a loss of sanity.
The next morning, Irming Yagyu sent her Shadow Clone to school, while she went to Death Forest to train her body.
After absorbing Natural Energy last night, her body was strengthened, and coupled with the enhancement from her Heavenly Restriction, Irming Yagyu's physical fitness visibly improved.
Therefore, every morning, Irming Yagyu would train to consolidate these results and master this portion of power.
Irming Yagyu wouldn't do handstand push-ups like Uncle Duy and Might Guy. Instead, after running dozens of laps to warm up, she would find a mountain wall and punch it.
It wasn't that Irming Yagyu didn't want to do that kind of training; it was that such training required weights.
And weights were most detrimental to Irming Yagyu at her current age and height.
Irming Yagyu was already quite disappointed with her height, and to add weighted training? Wasn't that playing with her physical development?
Irming Yagyu didn't want to become a shorty, or rather, a legal loli; otherwise, when she became famous in the Ninja World, her height would become a laughingstock.
For example, Ōnoki, the Third Raikage of the Land of Earth, and Yagura, the Fourth Mizukage of the Land of Water.
However, concentrated things are always Essence. Irming Yagyu's body density was extremely terrifying, and her weight was more than 1.5 times her body size.
But her body was still soft, which was incredibly unscientific. Irming Yagyu suspected that when she could fight Six Paths Madara in close combat, she might be called an alternative ship girl.
Arriving at the mountain wall, one could see large and small pits on it, all hammered out by Irming Yagyu's fists.
Because she wore special half-finger gloves, her small hands remained smooth and tender. This wasn't just the gloves' effect; the nourishment from Heavenly Restriction and Natural Energy every night also played a role.
These gloves cost Irming Yagyu a full five hundred thousand ryo to make. Originally, Irming Yagyu had gone to get a weighted vest.
But the shop owner told her that a weighted vest would affect her height and that she shouldn't use weights until she was at least twelve. However, it was fine to start earlier, as long as she took them off at night.
So Irming Yagyu decided to wait another year, until her physique was stronger and she had grown taller, before considering weighted training.
Since she was already there, she listened to the shop owner introduce the store's products. Irming Yagyu didn't need Kunai or Shuriken; what Irming Yagyu Yagyu left behind was enough.
She also had the Ame no Habakiri Ninjato she had tricked out of Orochimaru, so Irming Yagyu took a liking to these gloves, which were the boss's proud creation but hadn't sold.
Mainly, the boss was self-important and designed gloves for catching Ninjutsu barehanded. Not only were they expensive to make, but they only had this one function.
Didn't other Ninja know to use Kunai or Ninjato to block enemy Ninjutsu? Did they need to catch them barehanded?
They were pure garbage, so they hadn't sold in three years. Finally, Irming Yagyu fiercely haggled the price down from five million ryo to five hundred thousand ryo.
These gloves were quite good for Irming Yagyu, because some of her Steel Fist Taijutsu caused extremely strong recoil to her hand panels, and these gloves helped reduce some of that.
"Boom~!" Irming Yagyu used the Steel Fist style, combining all her strength, to unleash a terrifying burst of air, exploding it with Chakra.
The rock face in front of her suddenly shattered, leaving a deep pit over a meter in diameter. This was the result of Irming Yagyu's full-power punch, but it wasn't a full Chakra burst.
Irming Yagyu could actually deliver an even more terrifying punch, a pirated version of the Enhanced Strength she had pondered while punching the mountain.
Its power was similar to Enhanced Strength, but the damage to her arm was incredibly terrifying. Irming Yagyu had only used it once.
It directly created a ten-meter diameter pit, but Irming Yagyu's arm muscles were shattered, and her bones were also extensively fractured.
If it weren't for the Heavenly Restriction combined with the nourishment from Natural Energy, Irming Yagyu estimated her arm would have been completely ruined. Even after a night of recovery, the injury to her arm was still severe, so she went to the hospital to find a Medical Ninja for treatment.
Fortunately, no meridians were injured; it only looked severe, so only the most severe parts were treated, and the rest healed naturally, fully recovering in two or three days.
From then on, Irming Yagyu never used it again until she figured out the explosive ratio of Enhanced Strength Chakra.
In one morning, Irming Yagyu caused this section of the mountain wall to recede by five or six meters, but Irming Yagyu's physical fitness also steadily increased.
Afterwards, she had her Shadow Clone practice Gale Sword Technique, while she herself practiced Wind Release Chakra Mode.
If these two were mastered and combined with Body Flicker Technique, that speed would be enough to reach the Raikage's speed.
