After Orochimaru loudly called out the Ninjutsu's name, as the instrument operated, an apple-sized earthen ball appeared on the laboratory table.
Orochimaru looked at the earthen ball with an excited expression.
"How is it, Yuuki-kun?"
Yuuki was initially bewildered, thinking, 'All this fuss for this thing!?'
If he remembered correctly, Jirobo, one of the Otogakure Four, also knew Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall, and the dumplings he created were over two meters in diameter.
You expended nearly one-third of the generated Chakra just to create this thing?
Just as he was about to show his dissatisfaction, Yuuki looked at Orochimaru's excited expression and began to ponder.
The input Chakra was clearly not small; logically, the dumpling created should have been much larger than Jirobo's.
Then Yuuki looked at the table. Hmm, it was metal, not touching the ground. So, it wasn't made using natural earth, but directly created with Chakra?
Immediately, Yuuki thought of a possibility, feeling a bit shocked in his heart. Could it be that...
"Orochimaru-senpai, let me take a look at this dumpling first!"
Yuuki finished speaking and, without waiting for Orochimaru's agreement, walked straight over and picked up the dumpling.
Orochimaru not only didn't stop him but even smiled, clearly not only having no aversion to Yuuki's actions but even being somewhat excited.
Yuuki-kun, as expected, you can see the mystery within at a glance. I suppose you've already embarked on that path.
Back then, I had to repeatedly confirm for a long time before I realized it!
Yuuki walked to the experimental table, picked up the earthen ball, and carefully examined it, even continuously sensing it.
Nothing!
Not a trace of Chakra!
This was just an ordinary stone, nothing more.
But Yuuki, knowing how this stone was formed, looked at the apple-sized earthen ball as if he saw the entire world.
This is matter!
True, undeniable matter!
Matter created and transformed from Chakra!
As long as this technology is thoroughly mastered, Ninja will no longer be synonymous with slaughter, but with creation!
Is this an ordinary stone?
No!
This is the beginning of a great era!
Yuuki became excited, and a series of plans quickly appeared in his mind, which would bring about a complete transformation for the entire Ninja World!
Orochimaru looked at Yuuki's expression, first shocked, then revealing undisguised excitement.
Although he didn't know what Yuuki was thinking, Orochimaru knew that Yuuki was definitely overthinking it.
"Yuuki-kun, calm down. Things might not be as good as you imagine!"
Yuuki didn't care about the cold water Orochimaru poured.
"Orochimaru-senpai, there are some things you don't understand. In terms of research, you are indeed at the pinnacle of the Ninja World, but some things, you are actually not good at!"
Orochimaru didn't refute. He knew he wasn't good at many things; otherwise, he wouldn't have been used by Danzo, nor would he have only seen the darkness of Konoha when he was almost forty.
Nor would he have only gradually understood the truth of this world after meeting Yuuki!
Orochimaru nodded and said, "I admit that, Yuuki-kun. After all, you are the one who can replace Teacher Sarutobi, without using any violence!"
Orochimaru first praised Yuuki, then continued, "Yuuki-kun, I don't know what you've thought of from this, or what you want to achieve with this technology, but what I want to tell you is that it's impossible!"
Orochimaru repeatedly poured cold water, and Yuuki also calmed his excited mood, remembering the purpose of his visit.
Yuuki completely calmed down, and a warm smile reappeared on his face.
Looking at Yuuki's familiar appearance, Orochimaru continued, "Yuuki-kun, you are the Hokage. What you want to do certainly cannot be accomplished with just this little bit of Chakra."
"And too little Chakra is the biggest problem right now!"
Orochimaru walked back to the Chakra creation instrument, looking at the Chakra that had already shrunk by one-third, and said, "This Chakra is different from the Chakra we usually talk about; this is true Chakra, possessing various magical powers!"
Then Orochimaru came in front of Yuuki, with a hint of fanaticism on his face.
"Yuuki-kun, I just demonstrated the ability of Chakra creation to you. Next is the next item."
Orochimaru spat out a kunai from his mouth and held it in his hand.
Looking at the kunai, which was constantly dripping an unknown liquid, Yuuki felt a bit repulsed, but his eyes and expression showed no abnormality.
Orochimaru was good in many ways, but he just wasn't very hygienic!
Orochimaru, unaware of Yuuki's inner thoughts, held the kunai, rolled up his sleeve, and directly slashed at his own hand.
There was no gash, no blood flowing.
The kunai only left a shallow white mark on Orochimaru's arm.
Then Orochimaru said proudly, "This is the second function of Chakra: its tremendous strengthening effect on living organisms!"
Orochimaru then put away the kunai and continued, "It's not the kind of strengthening where Chakra is attached to the body's surface; it's a true strengthening. After that Chakra was absorbed by me, my body underwent tremendous changes!"
"Skin, muscles, bones, internal organs, and even mental power have all been strengthened to varying degrees!"
"Permanent strengthening!"
Yuuki completely understood at this moment. Good heavens, this is truly something!
Sure enough, as long as Orochimaru doesn't go astray, he will never disappoint.
You're starting to cultivate immortality here!
However, Yuuki felt that this was more in line with his own definition of extraordinary energy. Chakra isn't some kind of superpower.
It's clearly a power that can be obtained through cultivation, yet it acts almost like a superpower.
If it can't strengthen oneself or raise one's life level, why is Chakra called extraordinary energy?
You know, those animals in the Three Great Sage Regions live so long by relying on Natural Energy. Whether it's toads, snakes, or slugs, their lifespans were originally far shorter than humans.
Yet these guys can live so long!
At this point, Yuuki finally understood the true meaning of what Orochimaru said.
Ninja have never truly possessed Chakra!
Yuuki silently felt the Chakra within his own body, flowing freely and able to be manipulated at will according to his intentions.
Although he had always felt various irrationalities in the Chakra system, Yuuki had always thought that someone had left a backdoor in Chakra!
But now, it turns out that his own Chakra is fake!
Fortunately, Yuuki doesn't rely on Chakra for his livelihood; it's just that the power of Chakra is indeed very miraculous and useful sometimes!
Yuuki found this a bit hard to explain. Didn't he know his own Chakra? It was clearly very useful and obedient. Well, it wasn't very obedient in a Shadow Clone's body!
But it shouldn't be fake!
It should be that the Chakra Orochimaru created is probably more advanced!
Professional questions should naturally be asked to professionals.
"Orochimaru-senpai, then how is the Chakra in Ninja's bodies different now?"
