Chapter 42

****

On the 124th day, Kenshin finally got lucky. He managed to create a prototype of the chakra suppression formation. After it was applied to the cuffs, and Natsumi put them on, it was extremely difficult for her to form any technique, or walk on walls, but the increased physical strength did not go away, and the chakra in the muscles refused to "fall asleep". But the beginning was made, and Kenshin had only to refine the formation in order to get a formidable ace up his sleeve against recalcitrant kunoichi, or valuable, but strong enemies.

On the 125th day, Ichiro found his father and told him the good news.

"Father, it looks like my chakra has become better!"

he said with a proud look.

Kenshin instantly looked at his "status" and was surprised.Name: Nakayama Ichiro

Age: 20 years

Talent Level: 16

Chakra Quality: 3

Number of chakras: 3320

Chakra control: 51%

"Hmm, indeed, your "chakra quality" has increased to three. In addition, the number of chakras has grown a little, and the control has improved a little. Well done, Ichiro!"

Kenshin praised him and patted him on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Father!"

He answered sincerely.

Then they conducted several experiments, and Kenshin finally realized what exactly gives this strange indicator, referred to by the system as the "quality of the chakra". Ichiro's fireball, though it didn't get bigger, became much more destructive. The temperature and density of the fire increased by about twenty percent. A special water tank, which used to evaporate by 70%, has now been completely dried by a fireball hit.

On the 126th day, the second batch of blue sage ripened, of the 34 seeds planted, only 30 were fully ripe. If any of the people involved in the industrial cultivation of blue sage saw Kenshin's success, they would immediately spit out all their insides from insane greed.

It was already considered a great success if at least 10 of the 30 seeds planted would grow and mature. Therefore, Kenshin's results were completely beyond the dreams of anyone who was engaged in the cultivation of this whimsical plant. Usually blue sage had huge requirements for soil, lighting, fertilizers, and high-quality watering. He grew for about two months, as opposed to ten days with the help of Kenshin formations.

Of the thirty bunches of blue sage, Kenshin decided to put twenty on seeds, and use the remaining ten for his own needs. In the future, he wanted to give blue sage tea to his children every day. Blue sage tea had a very beneficial effect on the circulation and chakra production, and on average improved the results of shinobi training by 10-15%. Rich Elite Jonins or shinobi of the Kage level could take baths from a decoction of blue sage, and improved their training performance by a record 30%. In the future, Kenshin planned to provide such baths for each of his sons, at least once every few days.

In the evening, he brewed tea from blue sage, and gave it to his sons to try.

"Hmm? What is it?"

Ichiro muttered with interest, feeling an unusual taste.

"This is blue sage tea, drink it. It should stimulate the chakra in your body. Do you feel anything?"

Kenshin asked his eldest son.

"Mmm, something unusual, I can't describe… as if my chakra was a little raging, but at the same time it became more malleable… It's a strange feeling…"

Ichiro muttered, concentrating on his feelings.

"Yes, Father, I feel the same as big brother. As if a storm started in the lower abdomen, in the center of the chakra, which forced the chakra to circulate faster through the channels!"

The Third enthusiastically declared.

"Yes, yes, Father, I feel the same!"

The Fourth confirmed, and took another sip of tea.

After the "tea party", all the sons of Kenshin went to training, and spent several hours in the gym, until finally the voice of the Third One was heard by telepathic communication "Father, father! We did it, you should take a look at it!"

Kenshin immediately went to the gym, and saw an incredibly satisfied Third and Fourth. To the father's question, "What happened?" they silently folded the seals in a few seconds, and simultaneously shouted:

"Cato: Gokakyu no Jutsu!"

A few seconds later, a half-meter fireball appeared, which rushed to the far end of the room, and crashed against the wall, entwining it with fire from top to bottom.

"Well done! You did a great job! But don't get conceited. The world is full of Shinobi who will destroy you with one finger, so train harder!"

Kenshin said solemnly, wanting to ignite a spark in their hearts, which, thanks to their father's full charity, was not difficult.

"Yes, Father! You can rely on us, with big brother and us standing guard – no one will dare to poke into our house and leave unharmed!"

Said the Third, and the Fourth nodded furiously, supporting his brother.

*****

On the 129th day, Kenshin finally got lucky. He managed to refine the chakra suppression formation. Wearing leather cuffs on Ichiro, he decided to personally check how much the combat power of a shinobi without a chakra changes.

Going out on the tatami with his son, Kenshin felt a little relaxed for the first time in a long time. Ichiro's incredible speed and strength returned to their original values. All the chakra in his body was blocked and "slept", so Kenshin gave his son a decent fight, and eventually with difficulty, but won.

"Incredible bracers…"

Ichiro muttered as he took off his cuffs. As soon as they were removed, he took a deep breath, and it was as if he was born again. His perception greatly improved, and unable to stand it, he jumped up, spun, and landed on the ceiling, stretched his shoulders, and instantly found himself near his father.

Kenshin still could not get used to the incredible possibilities of the owners of the chakra, and only sighed.

"Father, these cuffs are unlikely to block the chakra of someone above the level of Chunin. When my chakra was blocked, I vaguely felt that if I became much stronger, I would be able to fight the blocking effect without any problems."

Noted Ichiro.

"Good. I'll try to come up with something and refine the formation."

Kenshin said. But deep down he believed that he was unlikely to be able to come up with something new before gaining new knowledge.
