Chapter 435: Gate of Healing
Sitting in his basement, Fujin observed his own body with amazement. He analyzed, 'Wow! I only had 75% of my chakra left. In an instant, it recovered completely. In addition, it has also increased further by 50% temporarily. I'm not sure how much, but I can feel that my physical strength has increased as well.'
Fujin closed both the Inner Gates and took a few breaths. Soon, he felt a wave of exhaustion and an intense hunger. He thought, 'No wonder Guy said that we need to eat a lot after opening the Gate of Healing. It feels like every cell in my body is exhausted.
Getting used to this Gate will take some time as well if I have to wait for my body to recover properly every time I open this Gate. It looks like I should open the Gate of Healing only when my chakra reserves are full and I'm properly rested.
That way, no energy would be required to recover my stamina and chakra and the backlash would be reduced greatly. So, I can recover quickly.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
Still, the Eight Inner Gates is far more sophisticated than I thought. The First Inner Gate allows our body to function at 100%. The Second Inner Gate recovers Chakra and Stamina. During a fight, if higher-level Inner Gates are opened, the lower ones stay open as well.
It implies that while fighting, the chakra level and stamina will always be preserved at the highest levels. As long as the body can keep the Inner Gates open, I will have limitless Chakra and Stamina. In a way, the First and the Second Inner Gates provide the perfect base for fighting.
Even my minor injuries will be healed so that I don't face any obstacles in fighting. So as long as my body doesn't crumble or I don't take any major injuries, I will be able to fight at my strongest level. Of course, the backlash of doing so would be crazy as well. Instead of doing that, it would be better to just teleport away.'
Fujin was very tempted by the possible advantages gained by using the Gate of Opening and Gate of Healing. Unfortunately, the backlash was just as bad. As such, Fujin was in no hurry to try it out.
He analyzed, 'Regardless, the buffs from these two Inner Gates are sufficient to raise a normal ninja and put him on an equal or even higher footing than the ones who have Kekkei Genkai. Only something ridiculous like the Mangekyou Sharingan is stronger, but how many ninjas unlock the Mangekyou Sharingan in every generation?
By comparison, anyone who is willing to put in the hard work can learn how to open the first two Inner Gates! If Hiruzen can find children who are willing to work hard and influence them to keep training hard enough, then it might be possible to raise several dozen ninjas who can open the Gates of Opening and Healing.
'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'
Fujin built up his chakra and was about to blow when he suddenly stopped. A frown appeared on his face. He muttered to himself, 'That's weird.'
Fujin closed his eyes and focused on the chakra flowing through his body. He analyzed, 'My chakra is very erratic. No, rather, it is in a state of hyper-activity. Hence, it wasn't manipulated properly as usual. But, why didn't I face any problem in manipulating chakra earlier?'
Fujin took a deep breath again and decided to use the jutsu again to properly inspect himself.
'Wind Release: Infinite Breakthrough jutsu'
Unfortunately, the same thing happened. The chakra in his body didn't knead accurately enough to form the jutsu. The frown on Fujin's face deepened.
Immediately, the chakra in his body became concentrated on his right fist. Fujin punched a rock that was next to him, obliterating it into pieces!
He analyzed, 'Strange, very strange! My chakra flows very smoothly when I'm manipulating it to assist my Taijutsu. The Strong Fist Style is working subconsciously while I can use the Senju Taijutsu Style at will as well.
However, when I try to manipulate the chakra for forming a Ninjutsu, it doesn't work! Hmm, could it be because the way chakra moves while assisting in Taijutsu is very simple and something that is supported instinctively, whereas manipulating it for creating Ninjutsus is unnatural and hence not supported by my body instinctively?
After all, we do need to use Hand Seals to guide the chakra inside our body to be able to create jutsus. Hmm, let me try that.'
This time, Fujin weaved hand seals for the Infinite Breakthrough jutsu to create the jutsu. Unfortunately, he felt the same obstacle once again and failed in his attempt.
