The small ship was about three meters long with a sturdy wooden body—small enough for testing, but large enough to mimic the scale of a real ship.
Carefully, Reiji began carving a series of Fuinjutsu seals onto the surface of the boat.
The first step was to place the Chakra Absorbing Fuinjutsu.
These seals acted like sponges, absorbing Chakra particles in the air and collecting them in a connected seal system.
The collected energy was then channeled through the Chakra Conducting Fuinjutsu—a seal pathway that ensured the energy distribution was efficient without leakage.
This channeled Chakra would be stored in the Chakra Storage Fuinjutsu, the main seal that acted as a backup battery, ensuring a steady supply of energy even when the environment changed.
However, Reiji knew that this system would not work smoothly if the flow of Chakra was unstable.
If too much energy entered at once, the seals could break.
However, if too little energy entered, the system would run out of power.
Therefore, Reiji added the Chakra Path Stabilizing Fuinjutsu.
This seal serves to regulate the flow of energy, ensuring that there are no too large fluctuations, and preventing external interference that could cause the system to fail.
Finally, after all the energy had been gathered steadily, Reiji activated the Weight Reduction Fuinjutsu.
This seal works by sealing away most of the boat's mass, making it lighter than air.
The decisive moment has arrived.
With bated breath, Reiji activated the main seal.
A faint blue light flickered across the surface of the boat, the Fuinjutsu lines shining brightly as Chakra began to flow throughout the system.
For a moment, nothing happened.
The boat remained still, not moving an inch.
However, a few seconds later, slowly, something began to change.
The small boat began to lift off the ground.
Not suddenly, but slowly—very slowly, like a leaf lifted by the wind.
Reiji stared with sparkling eyes.
Where Reiji barely blinked, afraid that the boat would suddenly fall back to the ground.
But that didn't happen.
The small boat was now floating a few centimeters above the ground.
Stable.
Not swaying wildly.
It worked.
The first step towards something bigger had been achieved.
Reiji clenched his fists, a satisfied smile etched on his face.
If Reiji could make a small boat float, then there was no reason why Reiji couldn't make a real ship float in the sky.
This was just the beginning.
And Reiji wouldn't stop until his dream came true.
...
...
...
Reiji took a deep breath, his eyes staring intently at the wooden boat that was now floating in the air stably.
Slowly, Reiji activated the Propulsion Fuinjutsu, a sophisticated seal that Reiji had been designing for months.
The seal worked by converting the Chakra stored in the seal ink into propulsion energy, propelling the ship forward without the need for human power.
The air around Reiji vibrated gently, creating a small gust of wind that caressed Reiji's face.
The Fuinjutsu symbols carved into the hull glowed faintly, indicating that the seal had fully activated.
Slowly, the small boat moved, rising slightly above the ground before beginning to glide forward at a very controlled speed.
However, for Reiji, this was no ordinary experiment.
The past three months had been grueling.
During which Reiji had to face failure after failure, readjust countless seals, and sacrifice more fishing boats than Reiji could count.
One of the biggest problems that almost made Reiji give up was the Weight Reduction Fuinjutsu.
At first, the seal did not work properly.
Instead of keeping the boat floating steadily, it would cause the boat to drift wildly, lose balance, and eventually crash to the ground with a crash.
Several times the boat almost destroyed Reiji's entire small workshop.
