12 Chapter 12 : The main legacy

But he failed, he tried to put himself in the same conditions as the battlefield, he then asked Kawaguchi to attack him mortally with his sword.

This one hesitated a lot but under the insistence of Mihara he excited his request and from the first attack of Kawaguchi Mihara entered in the semi-lightning state.

Dodging Kawaguchi's attacks one by one surprising even the latter and after three minutes he began to bleed from the nose and feel the same side effects as the full lightning state.

Kawaguchi seeing this stopped attacking immediately and brought a first aid kit.

After seeing that Mihara was only suffering from physical overload and nasal bleeding, he breathed a sigh of relief and Mihara stopped the experiment there.

He then understood that the semi-lightning state was caused by his adrenaline rush, so he used this state unconsciously, it was a less tiring state than the lightning speed (full lightning state) but staying in this state for too long was just as dangerous as the Lightning Speed state.

The lightning speed state was completely different, he could use it whenever he wanted, triggering it was like moving his arm it was an almost natural gesture but its side effects are huge.

The lightning state did not actually increase his speed but only the speed of his mind or his information processing speed.

He could process all the information provided by his senses at a ridiculous speed, it was as if time itself was on pause, normally this should not hurt him but the problem was that his body could not support the speed of his mind.

He was pushing his body to its limits and putting a huge burden on it, which inevitably led to serious injuries.

He did some more tests during the next few days to measure the extent of the injuries he had suffered and he was quick to note.

He could only stay in the semi-lightning state for a maximum of three minutes and for 8 seconds at best in the lightning speed state.

This was the absolute limit, if he exceeded these times, he would be seriously injured and may even become disabled if not die.

Although he still suffered minor injuries during the 8 seconds of the lightning speed state, it was still an ace that he preferred to use only when necessary.

So he began to think about the various possible uses of his ability and came up with the idea of applying it to his learning of ninja techniques.

The increased sensitivity he gained during this state was extremely useful for memorizing information and analysis, it allowed him to feel the slightest vein, organ or even centimeter of his skin, he could also control his chakra at an extreme level which was a significant advantage in learning new skills and he planned to train the following week to try his theory.

And his theory turned out to be true!

He looked around and quickly chose another scroll and noted in his mind the content, it was two more C rank ninjutsu.

He looked around and quickly chose another scroll and noted in his mind the content, it was two more C rank ninjutsu.

Water Clone Technique which was a nijutsu that allowed to create clones more realistic than the technique taught at the ninja academy it was a very useful nijutsu that can even fool opponents stronger than him and Thunder Wipe an offensive ninjutsu technique that allowed to electrify a white weapon in order to paralyze his opponent.

"It would be more productive to train one element, but better to improve my adaptability than my raw power."

Mihara sighed treatment, because he knew that training with only one ninjutsu of one element was more beneficial than training with several elements at the same time because a human being is worth little time, if he trained only with wind release techniques not only his chakra would increase faster thanks to the experience he gained but his mastery of wind release would also improve that is to say the power of all the futon type ninjutsu he would have learned.

Learning several nijutsu of different natures can be seen as counterproductive in the short term, especially during wartime when training was quite difficult due to lack of free time.

But Mihara decided to do so because first of all his ability greatly shortened his learning time and this had a great advantage on the battlefield.

The ability to adapt.

With several ninjutsu of different natures he could adapt to the different opponent and terrain, in a country like the land of snow or water, the water release was a great advantage while in a country like the land of wind it was the wind release that had the advantage.

He held on tightly to the blue Bird and picked up one of the scrolls on the floor.

It was an old but well-preserved scroll methodically sealed with the characters "Elemental swords arts" written on it.

He opened the scroll slowly and methodically reading the first sentence aloud.

"Kenkishi family main legacy by Sasan Kenkishi...."
