11 Chapter 11 : Jutsu practise
Most people have chakra that has an affinity to one of the Five Elements Nature Transformations.
To find out what affinity someone has, pieces of paper that are made from a special type of tree are used to react to the slightest hint of chakra in any number of ways, depending on the nature latent in the chakra.
Mihara returned to the training room holding a piece of paper in his hands, after sitting down he injected his chakra into the paper and looked at the result.
First the paper crumpled, then it became wet and then it split in two.
"Lightning, water and wind I have three attributes."
He took two scrolls from the floor and opened it, then after a few minutes of reading he went and slid the door heading towards the garden.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and opened them again a minute later.
"Tiger → Ox → Dog → Rabbit → Snake."
[Wind Style: Great Breakthrough]
Mihara slowly executed several seals and blew with force, a small breeze of air came out of his mouth and swayed lightly the leaves of the surrounding trees and flowers.
He frowned then closed his eyes again.
Chakra is a mixture of physical and mental energy, physical energy is collected from each of the body's cells and can be increased through training, stimulants, and exercise.
The mental or spiritual energy is derived from the mind's consciousness and can be increased through studying, meditation, and experience.
These two energies becoming more powerful will in turn make the created chakra more powerful.
Therefore, practising a technique repeatedly will build up experience, increasing one's spiritual energy, and thus allowing more chakra to be created.
As a result, the ninja is able to do that same technique with more power, this same cycle applies for physical energy, except the ninja needs to increase their endurance instead.
Mihara who had just learned this new ninjutsu was not really disappointed by the result, in addition to the elements mentioned above the mastery of a ninjutsu passes also by another factor.
Chakra Pathway System
Along the chakra pathways, there are 361 nodes called tenketsu that control the flow of chakra like circuit breakers, and within those tenketsu are Eight Gate.s which control body function and strain levels.
It is in this circuit that the chakra passes and the control of one's chakra depends on an individual's knowledge and sensitivity to directing the chakra in this circuit.
The more you use a technique the more your will be used to the path in channels of chakra, in reality the power of a technique depends strongly on its speed of crossing tenketsu and channels because the chakra is very volatile, if you execute a technique too slowly and with little precision, the ninjutsu executed will be very weak powerful.
That was what Mihara had learned from the books they had read.
"But if instead I execute ninjutsu with extreme speed..."
Mihara's nose bled, his skin turned slightly scarlet and his fingers moved with superhuman speed executing several seals in less than half a second.
"Tiger → Ox → Dog → Rabbit → Snake."
[Wind Style: Great Breakthrough]
He bulged his chest, took a deep breath and blew with all his strength, a powerful flow of air such as a squall tore the leaves from the trees and tore the flowers raising dust on a distance of five meters before dispersing.
"Damn! This is tiring!"
Mihara gasped and wiped the blood from his nose with his trembling hands before looking at the result of his ninjutsu.
"But it really works."
He grinned and went back to the training room, he sat back down on the floor and closed his eyes as if trying to memorize the feeling he had when he had used ninjutsu earlier.
After thirty minutes of meditation, he opened his eyes and performed the same seals with his hands as before, but slower than the second time and faster than the first.
Then he blew and a slightly powerful air flow swept through the room although not as strong as his second attempt this air flow was much more powerful than his first attempt seeing that Mihara's eyes shone.
To understand the situation you have to go back ten days earlier when he felt that his health was almost perfect, he thought and did a lot of research on his strange ability that he decided to name "Lightning Speed".
He did some experiment like entering the Lightning state like during his fight against the kid from Iwa and the ninja he had killed with the help of Oza.
When he was half in the lightning state he had a great capacity of perception and an increased visual sensitivity and reflexes without undergoing the violent repercussions of the total lightning state.
