Chapter 54: Normalized Sharingan
Increasing aura capacity was part of the training.
Ninjutsu paired with the Sharingan was perfect for mid-to-long-range combat.
For close combat, the best state was Sharingan + Nen.
Ronin had only mastered the Intermediate State, but he could push it further.
He just needed to convert a portion of his Nen into Chakra specifically to fuel the eyes.
This was similar to Gyo—concentrating aura in a specific spot.
This became his training direction: solidify the foundation and master the partial conversion to maintain the Sharingan.
Zetsu helped recovery, but it had limits.
This made him appreciate Biscuit's ability even more—her magical massage was a cheat code for recovery.
Kurapika and Neon worked well together.
Although Kurapika disliked her hobby, after getting to know her, he accepted her as a person.
In the evening, Ronin checked their progress.
Not bad.
But resting was a luxury.
A rock tied to a rope hung over their heads. Even while sleeping, they had to be alert.
Ronin was no exception. By morning, all three had bumps on their heads.
By the seventh day, Ronin had adapted to the Weighted Boulder Jutsu. His digging speed increased.
His control over Enhancement Nen—Ren, Shu, Gyo, Ken—became smoother.
Most notably, his eyes.
Ronin constantly converted a trickle of Nen into Chakra to feed his eyes, keeping the Sharingan active.
Maintaining this state was the hardest part.
It reminded him of Goku and Gohan training to make Super Saiyan their normal state.
It was about turning a power-up into a habit.
With the Sharingan's aid, his aura control became incredibly precise.
When he started, maintaining Ken cost 9 aura/second.
After a week with the Sharingan, he reduced it to 7 aura/second.
6 was the theoretical limit.
But this was in training. Combat would cause fluctuations.
So, he needed combat practice.
Unfortunately, Kurapika and Neon were too weak to be sparring partners.
He could only spar with his Shadow Clone, which felt lacking. I'm beating myself up.
In the afternoon, Ronin ended his training early.
Today was the day Kurapika would open his Nen nodes.
Kurapika's physical stats were ready.
But waiting for natural awakening was too slow.
Ronin decided to force them open, then train Kurapika alongside Neon.
Opening nodes was easy for Ronin.
He placed his hand on Kurapika's back and injected a small amount of non-malicious aura.
Kurapika's aura exploded from his body like boiling steam.
But within thirty seconds, Kurapika managed to control it, wrapping it around himself in Ten.
It was seamless.
When he opened his eyes, Kurapika was a Nen user.
