Chapter 7: New Path

After coming home I calmed down a bit and decided not to buy a rope.

I have to get stronger to survive until Boruto era where the internet is developed!

Then I can hide somewhere and enjoy the infinite possibilities of the internet, while I will let others deal with those damn aliens!

Anyway, let's think about wind chakra.

The characteristics of it is to increase the sharpness of things like kunais for example.

...

No, I won't be a useless kunai-only-nin!

What can I do other with it instead of buffing kunais...hmm...

...

I have no idea.

With the other chakra natures I wanted to use scientific principles from my last life to get instantly strong: like with lightning I could fire coins like a railgun, or with water, I could maximize the pressure for water guns or bombs...but for wind, I really don't have anything I can think of...

So then let's try a different approach.

Let's think of ways without a chakra nature.

So chakra in general basically just another form of energy.

Even without ninjutsu just a huge amount of chakra alone can be devastating, just look at Lee and Guy when they open their gates, or Naruto when he was buffed with Kurama's chakra - he smashed Hakus's ice mirrors just with his fists.

I can't get my hands on a tailed beast and even if I could I would be hunted by Akatsuki so it wouldn't be worth it.

So I need to think more into the direction of the eight gates.

If I remember correctly the principle behind it is that normally you can only use a portion of your chakra to protect the body from overexertion.

So If you open the gates you have more chakra but your body might not be able to handle that.

But why can Naruto's body handle so much extra chakra from Kurama?

Hmm, maybe it's because the eight gates also use the organs like letting the heart-rate go berserk so that your blood flow is extremely high?

So the eight gates not only enables you to use the stored chakra but squeezes every drop of your body's survival mode out?

Does it mean if you could just use the stored chakra, your body would be uninjured?

No, probably it's rather the opposite: it's because you let your body go into survival-mode that you can use the stored chakra.

So that means I have to find ways to increase my chakra without something like the eight gates?

But...do shinobis not have a natural chakra potential limit?

And the limit normal shinobis have is not high enough to really enhance someone physically to be able to smash unmeltable ice mirrors with your fist.

Hmm...

...

WAIT!!

If chakra is just another form of energy then the amount isn't necessarily important but the quality of it!

This means I could just accelerate the chakra through my body and then release it suddenly with a bang.

"YES I'M A FUCKING GENIUS!!!"

The door in my room slammed open.

"Eiji, I don't know what you are doing but be less loud. I could hear your yell in the whole house..."

"...I'm sorry mum..."

Anyway, I now know how to get stronger.

Starting tomorrow I will train my chakra control and slowly start to accelerate it.

A/N:

Today a shorter and probably more boring chapter than usual, but I wanted the mc to have a logical thought process towards his realization.
