Chapter 123: Revolutionary (19)

Chapter 123: Revolutionary (19)

Barely able to cover his excitement, Kai found himself at the peak of the tallest tree in the Shikkotsu Forest. He'd be leaving for another mission tomorrow since their break would come to an end but the last week's grind and research with Fukushu and the Cerberus had brought quite a bit of growth to Kai's understanding of Chakra. It wasn't enough to be considered anything new compared to the vast pool of knowledge he had already achieved but he did manage to devise a seal that could start things not only with Fukushu but may as well be a step needed for Tsunade to finally have a breakthrough with Rinnegan and even for Kushina's jinchuriki problem... even Orochimaru's goal.

What he developed was a key.

But as exciting as it was, Kai just pumped more for the skill he mastered. Adopting his Sage Transformation since that was his go-to sage mode when compared to the Rock Egg Monkey Sage Mode, Kai licked his lips and jumped down.

His clones had remastered a few wind nature jutsus into Sage Arts.

*Whoosh*

Before his fall impacted the ground, Kai's body came to a standstill. His breathing eased down as he let Senjutsu Chakra elementalized as wind nature seep into his surroundings and gained control of an aspect of nature around him using less Senjutsu Chakra.

Still two meters from the ground, Kai continued to 'stand' in the air. He could fly using Essence Transformation and taking the form of a number of birds but... this was different. This skill was inspired once he tried to remaster Wind Release: High Jump but the Sage Art turned out much differently, in the same manner as [Sage Art Earth Travel.]

[Sage Art Air Stream (10/10): Releases a stream of wind from the pores of the body with enough senjutsu chakra to interact with the wind around the user. Chakra consumption reduced by 10% at every level. Current Consumption: 100~???]

Well, his clone completed the grind, and Kai just wanted to try this on his own. Shikkotsu Forest was saturated with nature energy so this technique would use less chakra compared to the shinobi villages and the elemental nations. Of course, this was just one of the skills as his SP, too, grew by several points.

With a hearty smile, Kai soon began to jog in the air, backflipping even when he could just stand sideways, too... simply making the air his territory brought plenty of advantages to him, and even if he later isn't in his Sage Transformation, he can always just chose to not doll himself up with this menacing form and adopt to manipulate Senjutsu Chakra without it. After all, Sage Transformation fully integrated Senjutsu Chakra into his body for growth in his raw parameters but that didn't mean he couldn't control the chakra otherwise by now.

"So? What's going on?" Tsunade inquired as she found Kai's lab neatly organized and without a single clone a rare sight. Since both of their labs were under the Senju Manor, Tsunade would visit the lower wards and watch Kai's clone try and emulate Byakugan only to fail constantly...

But he finally had a breakthrough. An important one at that.

Gently scooping the single Sharingan they looted from Danzo's eye socket, Kai set the scarlet eye into a rather gigantic transparent cylinder that was as high as two meters and filled with light yellow nutrition liquid. A pattern of the seal was already drawn on the floor over which the cylinder was placed as Kai questioned, "Sensei, you remember when I told you that Danzo stole the Second's Reports? How Tobirama Senju would loot the dead Uchiha off of their Sharingan to study them?"

"I do," pulling a chair, Tsunade decided to sit down and let Kai explain whatever he wanted.

"Well, Tobirama Senju worked more on what we already knew. To be precise The existence of Chakra is present in every cell, every wave of emotion, and even intent. In layman's terms, Chakra is that concept that is the answer to everything that is mysterious."

Tsunade nodded.

Next Level: Spend 560000 Chakra or 25 SP.]

Despite the tremendous consumption, the technique was still classified as an A-ranked Jutsu, and under Tsunade's amazed gaze, the eye began to slowly dilute and turn into a mist-like milky white form still in a spherical shape with a violet undertone. The chakra seemed unaffected by the nutrition fluid as Kai huffed and smiled in satisfaction.

"Maybe we can use this to finally start more research about Fukushu, Cerberus, and the Jashin God he keeps chatting about," Tsunade called out from the side as Kai nodded before revealing a knowing smirk.

"Alright, what do you want?" Tsunade rolled her eyes as she saw this. This technique may not be too valuable to others but this could build a new foundation for the village! Of course... even if Kai had managed to 'discover' this language of chakra... now they must find ways to 'read' and understand it.

Like a code.

"Hey, why do you assume that I won't just present this technique to you out of the goodness of my heart?"

"Would you?" Tsunade gave him a sidelong glance.

"Nope."

"Then... what do you want?" Tsunade smirked as Kai traced his chin before shrugging, "I don't know... I expected to ask something but who knew my life is so awesome that even I am content for the time being."

This was not a response she expected from a being as greedy as him but... she noted the sincerity in his voice and added, "Then figure something out. Even if you do give us the technique, it's useless until we manage to form a technique that deciphers this 'new' language we've been weaving for ages so you've got your work cut out for you after you return from your next mission."

Kai nodded, "Yeah... damn, didn't even feel how three entire weeks just sped as I managed to form a revolutionary technique for the very chakra itself..."

Tsunade scoffed but this time even she couldn't refute his words. After all, if what he said is the truth then this technique was a shard of something much grander.

Alternate Title: A New Rikudo

A/N: Alright, I had two main addition to the lores of naruto in this ff which I will replicate over to Paradise of Infinity in its naruto arc. One of the lore was chakra being a vault of language that transcends body, mind, and the spirit. Again, I still find Naruto's power system one of the best just because of chakra. Its like magic and ki combined.

The second lore will... well, I'd like to keep it close for now. For one, it's still WIP and two, it will be more for world-building than anything as I did in quest maker by changing the back story of the Dragon God entirely.
