Additionally, there was something else about Lightning Release that Takuno wanted to research and learn.
That was the body enhancement aspect of Lightning Release, a technique that could be called a secret art, usually only mastered by Cloud Shinobi. The difficulty of this technique could be seen from the fact that no one from other ninja villages had managed to research it.
However, Kakashi's Chidori actually incorporated a part of body enhancement. The Lightning Release Chidori greatly stimulated and increased the user's physical activity, making their speed increase to a degree that even the user themselves found difficult to react to.
This also meant that to use Chidori, one had to either possess sufficiently high reaction speed, or be able to foresee the enemy's movements and react in advance, which required the cooperation of the Sharingan.
Without the Sharingan, perhaps only someone with reaction speed like Minato, who could freely use the Flying Thunder God Technique, would be able to perfectly control Chidori.
Takuno did not believe he had Minato's reaction speed, but he could use his cheat. Reaction speed, in essence, was nerve reflex speed, which primarily depended on the conduction speed of electrical signals.
Therefore... if he could master Lightning Release down to the level of electrical signals, he would be able to physically accelerate his reaction speed!
With his Chakra control ability, there was still a chance for further refinement!
Takuno pondered the things he needed to do, sighing, as none of them would be easy to accomplish.
Moreover, he also needed to find an opportunity to research the specific method of integrating a second Kekkei Genkai with the Chimera Technique.
Although the Sharingan could not be used even if awakened, it could still serve as a trump card.
There were truly many things to do; he really wished he could split time into several portions to use.
Even with his Uzumaki physique, using Shadow Clones for training was far from enough now. He couldn't possibly use hundreds of clones at once like Uzumaki Naruto did when training Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
Without the Nine-Tails inside him, doing so, even with an Uzumaki physique, would be fatal!
He would take it slow. Currently, the things he needed to do did not demand too much from his combat power.
Takuno shrugged helplessly, then began training with Wind Release: Rasengan. After all, this Ninjutsu had a clear training process in the original work. Although not as detailed as the regular Rasengan, he could still reduce some research time from it.
However, the Wind Release: Rasengan Ninjutsu actually had a very low sense of presence. Its form was already close to Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, subtly taking on the shape of a shuriken.
But after Uzumaki Naruto learned the more advanced Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, he naturally stopped using Wind Release: Rasengan.
After all, that guy really didn't lack the Chakra to use Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
He could only recall Wind Release: Rasengan being used once in conjunction with Wood Release Yamato for a rescue.
He had originally thought Uzumaki Naruto had misspoken, calling the regular Rasengan a Wind Release: Rasengan, but in reality, it was the prototype of the Rasenshuriken integrated with Wind Release.
At this moment, Takuno formed a hand seal with one hand.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Instantly, four figures appeared around Takuno. Although he could create more than four Shadow Clones, without Uzumaki Naruto's recovery ability, it was best not to use too many Shadow Clones for training.
After the five of them exchanged glances, they each began their studies. The first step was naturally to learn the nature of Wind Release, which was considered mastered once one could cut a leaf with Chakra.
This was not actually difficult, but Takuno had only possessed Wind Release for a short time, so he naturally hadn't mastered it yet.
Takuno's choice at this time was to have both himself and his Shadow Clones train Wind Release: Rasengan, and then evolve it into Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
He actually knew that, in terms of efficiency, doing so was very low.
Because Shadow Clones only transmit all memories and experiences to the original body upon their dispersal, this meant they would most likely learn duplicate techniques.
Logically, Takuno and his Shadow Clones researching different Ninjutsu would be the most efficient approach.
However, while this method was more efficient, the time it took to learn a single Ninjutsu was prolonged.
A skill in hand is worth more than a fortune.
Therefore, Takuno had to at least learn Wind Release: Rasenshuriken as a life-saving trump card before choosing the more efficient method of advancing simultaneously!
At this moment, he couldn't help but sigh, realizing he had wasted too much time in the past.
The Rasengan itself had no elemental nature; it was purely composed of Chakra. Therefore, in theory, different elemental natures could be integrated into it using the Rasengan as a base.
Although he didn't have Wind Release before, he did possess Earth Release and Water Release.
Logically, he could have tried to integrate these two elemental natures into the Rasengan.
But on one hand, Takuno's Chakra reserves were too low at that time. Estimating from the Chakra consumption of Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, even if it didn't consume as much Chakra as Rasenshuriken, it would certainly not be small, an amount he couldn't afford.
Secondly, Takuno had also thought about how to integrate Earth Release and Water Release into the Rasengan, but his final ideas were a bit muddled.
For Earth Release, he initially thought of an earth ball, but what good would an earth ball be? He eventually realized, associating it with the Sand Village, that it should be sand, but even so, its power couldn't be great.
As for Water Release, it went without saying. Although it could increase pressure to form a water blade type of attack, its power would certainly be far inferior compared to Wind Release, which inherently possessed cutting properties.
Therefore, after much thought, Takuno still decided to learn Wind Release: Rasenshuriken first after the Chimera Technique integrated Wind Release.
As for Earth Release and Water Release, he actually had some other ideas, but he would have to wait until he finished learning the Rasenshuriken before slowly verifying their feasibility.
Takuno looked at the other four Shadow Clones, who were already diligently trying to master the cutting properties of Wind Release, and a slight smile appeared on his face.
Although his efficiency was not as good as Uzumaki Naruto's, he could at least use Shadow Clones to learn, which was definitely several times faster than his past self!
While Takuno was learning Ninjutsu, in a hidden base in the Land of Rain.
A masked man in black appeared before a group of Akatsuki Organization members wearing black cloaks with red clouds.
Seeing their nervous expressions, it was clear that the masked man's arrival was far beyond their expectations.
The three leading figures were none other than Jiraiya's three disciples, one of whom was Nagato, who had discovered Takuno's crow.
The three of them were just as surprised by the masked man's arrival as their members.
Konan and Yahiko couldn't help but glance at Nagato, who subtly shook his head at them, indicating that his Rinnegan had not detected the person's appearance beforehand.
Both of their hearts trembled. They knew Nagato's Rinnegan best, and even Nagato hadn't detected him... Their hearts grew even heavier.
