Chapter 10 Ruri, I don't want to work hard
"..."
To be honest, after reading the scroll, Shiroshi was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, it was normal.
If the method of cultivating immortality was recorded here, Ruri would not be able to give him this kind of thing to him by herself.
Up to now, Shiroshi's research on chakra has encountered a bottleneck, and he needs new things to break his further understanding of chakra.
He originally wanted to get some inspiration from the Sage arts, but the knowledge on the scroll was not of much use to him.
No... giving up so early is a little out of his style.
In fact, the things on the scroll are still useful.
Although there is no specific writing about how to integrate with nature and feel natural energy, but if this assumption is true and correct, how do you enter a state of integration with nature and feel the existence of natural energy?
So, being in harmony with nature is the key.
How to be in harmony?
Shiroshi took out his previously written notes about chakra.
In Shiroshi's research, some hidden information about chakra has been explored.
For example, the synthesis of chakra is traceable. The collection of physical energy and spiritual energy has formed a stable 'system'. According to the route of this 'system', chakra can be produced stably.
The nature chakra, on the basis of the 'system', simply adds natural energy.
From a system of two energies to a stable system with three energies.
This nature Chakra 'system' must exist, and must be stable and sustainable.
There is a deep connection between ordinary chakra and nature chakra.
This connection may be the key to attracting natural energy.
So, how to use ordinary chakra to induce natural energy?
When blending with nature, what role does ordinary chakra play in it?
"The production of physical energy can be achieved by exercising the body, or it is the source of life that the body must maintain. Carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, these three things are oxidized in the human body, and are necessary substances to maintain a person's body movement..."
Mental energy is related to consciousness, and more generally speaking, it is something linked to the soul.
The Uchiha clan's Sharingan eyes are only opened on the basis of emotions, and they need to be highly emotionally stimulated. Listening to Ruri, this is also a kind of spiritual energy.
Therefore, emotions are also mental energy... To be more precise, the fluctuations of emotions depend on the strength of each person's mentality.
At the end of the note, Shiroshi wrote his conclusions.
Refining Chakra is related to the amount of life substances ingested on the day, as well as the emotional state you have on that day, as well as the innate soul and physical strength of the individual.
These factors will affect the functional efficiency of chakra refining.
Solved the problem of the source of ordinary chakra, and further analyzed the specific source of physical energy and spiritual energy.
And natural energy comes from the air and the earth, everywhere.
"I'm breathing air all the time now. Does that count as absorbing natural energy?"
Shiroshi looked at the dark night view outside the window, the night wind was refreshing and dry, and he muttered to himself.
Hmm, it seems to be very funny.
...
Another Sunday off.
Shiroshi came to the famous Uchiha clan.
It's like a village within a village.
The Uchiha clan is located in the middle of Konoha. To be honest, for a wealthy family, the location is a bit remote from the core of the village.
After all,the Uchiha clan holds a powerful department like the Police Force.
How big is the power? For example, under normal circumstances, The Anbu directly under the Hokage are not qualified to arrest people directly.
You need to show the Hokage's order first.
The Uchiha clan's guards don't need this kind of order, they can arrest anyone at will, although the final judgment needs to be arbitrated by the Hokage.
But it also means that the power of the Uchiha clan's Police Force is not weaker than the Anbu who are under the Hokage.
For a normal ninja clan, this kind of power will definitely not end well in the end.
However, this is the Uchiha clan. They founded Konoha Village with the Senju clan. As the founding two ninja clans of the village, it is normal for them to have such power.
And only the people from this clan are qualified and have the ability to take charge of the Police Force.
The first time he entered the Uchiha clan, Shiroshi saw a huge and luxurious building, which was the headquarters of the Uchiha clan's Police Force.
At the gate of the Poöice Building, there are usually two Uchiha Chunin who guard the gate.
They saw that an outsider like Shiroshi walked into the Uchiha clan and did not stop him or drive him away.
The Uchiha clan does not prohibit outsiders from visiting here, as long as they don't come to provoke them, they are actually very welcoming... right?
According to the map given by Ruri, Shiroshi looked for the location of Ruri's house.
The Uchiha clan occupies a very large area, and while looking for the residence of Ruri, Shiroshi saw many large training grounds, one after another.
The location of the market is also very lively. Occasionally, he can see some adults who are not from the Uchiha clan shopping here. It seems that they get along pretty well.
Although Shiroshi had heard of the arrogant attitude of the Uchiha ninjas of the Poöice Force, but in fact, he had only heard that from others, but had never seen how the arrogant ninjas looked like.
However, it is impossible for all members of a clan to have the same personality. If there are violent people, there will naturally be gentle people too.
Just like how some Konoha civilians may not be honest, Shiroshi sometimes gets scammed when he goes out to eat, and there are some guys who drink and make trouble on the street.
Most of them are civilians who are full of honour. They are honest and kind, and they have many precious qualities of life.
Therefore, no matter it is a wealthy ninja or a commoner, they cannot be judged with one glance.
While thinking about these things, Shiroshi also found the a house at the end of the map.
Shiroshi saw the huge mansion in front of him. It was the most luxurious mansion he had seen along the way. None of the mansions he had seen before could compare to this mansion.
Shiroshi made a visual inspection and found that this mansion covers an area of at least several thousand square meters.
Through the wall, you can also see the canopy of cherry blossom trees that bloom in the courtyard, and a few pink cherry blossoms drift out from the wall, bringing fragrance.
The first impression is how big it is here.
The second feeling is that the Ruri family is very rich.
This property cannot be bought without 100 million Ryo.
Shiroshi felt that there was no difference between the place where he lived and the kennel.
Evil capitalist.
"Hello, are you here to find Miss Ruri?"
A young woman in a kimono saw Shiroshi standing at the door,she stopped the cleaning work in her hand, and came to Shiroshi, and asked him with a gentle smile.
"Yes, I'm Chiba Shiroshi, I should have made an appointment."
Hearing Shiroshi reporting her name, the maid in kimono continued to look at Shiroshi with a gentle smile and nodded.
"Come with me, Miss Ruri is waiting for you inside."
Action and courtesy are impeccable, and even honorifics are used.
Shiroshi followed the maid into this bizarrely large mansion.
The building materials of the houses here are mainly 200-year-old cedar trees. The planks of the corridors are clean and translucent. Walking on them can blur the shadows of people.
Most of the doors and windows are also simple and light-transmitting. There is a pond in the courtyard, and there are many old trees of different varieties with a certain age.
When walking in the corridor, Shiroshi also met many maids passing by. They were all dressed in neat kimonos. When passing by, they all smiled kindly at Shiroshi, and it could be seen that they were very polite.
Even with so many maids, cleaning such a big mansion is probably not an easy job.
And that's just a small part of the front yard.
Ruri was in the largest house in the backyard. The maid slid open the wooden door and bowed respectfully to the people inside:
"Miss Ruri, the guest has been brought."
"You can go."
"Yes."
The maid followed Ruri's orders and went away.
Shiroshi walked in and looked around curiously.
The huge room was almost empty, with only some cushions and a short tea table. In addition, there was only one floor that looked very sophisticated.
The unpretentious life of a capitalist.
Suddenly, Shiroshi didn't want to work hard anymore.
"To be honest, your house is too big."
After glancing around the room where Ruri was, Shiroshi sat down without any restraint.
"It's big, but it's a bit deserted every day."
"That's true. By the way, aren't your parents at home? Wouldn't it be better for me to say hello?"
Ruri shook her head and said, "No need. The two of them are not in the village all the year round. Because they don't have the talent to be ninjas, they can only do a small business outside, and they only send a little money back every month."
Shiroshi's eyelids twitched.
Small business?
He wanted to understand, did Ruri have any misunderstanding when it comes to business matters ?
"By the way, what are you doing here? Although I have a private training ground at home, it's too ostentatious and doesn't fit your hidden style."
Yesterday, Shiroshi told her that he had important things to deal with when he came to her.
"I want to do an experiment with you. Are there any hidden and solid vacant houses?"
Do an experiment? Ruri frowned, not quite understanding Shiroshi's intention.
At Shiroshi's level, Ruri didn't think he needed that much space.
The research funds and living expenses that were usually given to him were just swiped out with a single stroke.
She has no such concept of money since she was a child.
"Because I think the movement will be a bit loud and dangerous, and the laboratory at my house is too small."
Hearing Shiroshi's explanation, Ruri did not pursue it to the end, and took him through a corridor into an empty house.
A plank in the house was then opened, and there was a secret passage to the ground.
Electricity was on on both sides along the way, and there were lights on.
At the bottom of the passage, there is an underground space of about 50 square meters. The surrounding and ground are protected by hard stone slabs, which can block the impact of ninjutsu.
"Is it alright here? If it's not enough, there is a slightly bigger one next to it, which is twice the size here."
"Enough, it's better than I thought."
Shiroshi was very satisfied with the enclosed space here, and even far exceeded his expectations.
"I'll go up first, call me if you need anything."
Ruri went up alone.
Shiroshi took out the seal scroll, spread it out on the ground, made a seal with both hands, white smoke exploded on the scroll with a bang.
Along with the production of white smoke, a large number of research instruments also appeared.
However, these research utensils are relatively small in size and can be loaded on scrolls.
Speaking of which, this kind of ninjutsu, which uses scrolls to seal things and is easy to use,and was taught to him by Ruri.
After all kinds of research equipment were neatly arranged here, Shiroshi started his experiment.
And this experiment is also different from the usual, with huge danger.
If the experiment is successful, the rewards are bound to be huge.
...
Around evening, when the sun went down, Shiroshi never came out of the basement.
Ruri who was in her room ended the chakra refining in the afternoon, and asked the maid to arrange dinner. Seeing that Shiroshi did not come out, she ate it by herself.
After eating, Shiroshi still didn't come out of the basement.
Ruri still ignored him.
Until midnight, when Ruri was having a good dream, the earth suddenly shook.
Ruri's body also trembled slightly, and she, who felt keen, suddenly sat up from the floor and glanced around.
An earthquake?
instantly denied it.
The source of the earthquake was very close to her, and the way the vibration was generated should be related to the explosion of an object.
Ruri didn't have time to put on her coat, wearing black tights, slid open the wooden door, and walked quickly towards the other hallway to the room.
Her destination is the basement of the house.
When Ruri arrived below, what she saw was a mess in the basement, with a huge hole in the middle.
Even the hard floor that can protect the impact of ninjutsu was blasted out of such a hole, and there was a strange color in Ruri's eyes.
Then she saw Shiroshi, who was disheartened and seemed to be frightened by the explosion in front of him.
Inside the blasted pothole, there is a very strong chakra... It seems to be a little different, in short, a very strong aura lingers there, giving Ruri a sense of oppression as if getting suddenly encountered by a beast. .
In addition, there are only some research instruments that were completely blown up, all of which cannot be used again and are completely destroyed.
"Why did you come?"
Shiroshi came back to his senses and asked a silly question.
Ruri didn't care about this, and she didn't get angry at Shiroshi for destoying her basement.
What she cared about was what experiment Shiroshi was doing to blow up the floor that was protected against ninjutsu impact.
"What experiment are you doing?"
"Attracting natural energy..."
Shiroshi didn't hide it, and answered honestly.
"Natural energy?"
Ruri glanced at Shiroshi in surprise.
"Well, these are the assumptions and steps of the experiment, but the conclusions can now be written down."
Shiroshi took out his notebook from the ninja bag.
After Ruri took it, she opened it.
Although she recognized every word, there were too many technical terms that she didn't understand, so she couldn't understand what Shiroshi was writing at all.
"The experiment failed?"
Seeing the explosion here, Ruri thought that Shiroshi's experiment had failed.
"Well, it can be said to be a failure, or it can be said to be a success. I successfully guided the natural energy and fused it with ordinary chakra, but I don't know what the ratio of matching between them is, and whether other things are needed to promote the fusion. , which caused this experimental accident. After the natural energy neutralized the Chakra went out of control, it was more violent than I expected..."
Shiroshi picked up the corner of a damaged research tool and stood there thoughtfully thinking about something.
Ruri nodded in agreement.
Ordinary chakras do not have this level of destructive power without using jutsu to function.
"What do you need next?"
Ruri, who had never been very interested in Shiroshi's research, had an idea to support him for the first time.
"Money, lots of money! There's also room for more solidity!"
Shiroshi was not polite.
In his opinion, Ruri provided the funds and the site, and he was in charge of the research, and the two of them shared the final research results, which was fair.
...
Following Ruri to the room above.
"Live here?"
Shiroshi was a little surprised by the plan that Ruri suddenly proposed.
"Yes, running back and forth is too tedious. Otherwise, you'll have to come here on Sunday, with too little time devoted to studying the energies of nature, and the results will be slow."
"Wouldn't that arouse suspicion?"
That's what Shiroshi worried about.
"Not all the maids in my family are from the Uchiha clan. I will hire you to work in my house with a formal employment contract. Besides, who would put their energy on a ninja school student, do you think the Anbu directly under the Hokage would waste their time on you? Dealing with such trivial matters? Even if there is an investigation, it is the job of our Uchiha clan."
Ruri made some sense.
After all, experiments on natural energy really cannot be done in his home.
His previous experiments were actually very formal and not dangerous. Even if they were accidentally discovered, he could still use words to overcome them.
But the natural energy experiment doesn't work.
Everything involved here is top secret and must be kept secret.
If Ruri used the employment contract to let himself work in her house, it would be a good way to hide from the public.
The Hokage's direct subordinate Anbu wouldn't be leisurely enough to monitor a ninja school student, and Shiroshi didn't show any hostility towards the village.
He is the successor of the authentic Will of Fire.
Even if it is noticed that something is wrong, it is the job of the Police force, and Ruri is a genius of the Uchiha clan and has a background.
Most importantly, I am poor.
In Konoha, there is no child protection law. When Shiroshi was six years old, he was kicked out of the orphanage to live on his own, and underage children earn money for living and working... It is reasonable!
Ruri employs himself with an employment contract, which is also a help among friends.
After all, he and Ruri are almost indistinguishable from each other. In the eyes of many people, he and Ruri are very good friends.
It is normal for friends to help each other.
In this way, he has enough time to conduct natural energy experiments, and enough secrecy.
"Speaking of which, how did you draw out the natural energy?"
Ruri asked the question she cared about the most.
The Sage art information she gave to Shiroshi before was just information about nature energy ans some speculation.
Ruri is very curious about how Shiroshi draws out natural energy.
"Haven't you read the previous notes? It's actually quite simple. I don't know how the first Hokage guided natural energy. I guided natural energy from the root of chakra, and used the root system of chakra to throw it out as bait."
"..."
"When it comes to the specific source of chakra, it is actually related to our usual state of diet. Physical strength is inseparable from food intake, supplementing carbohydrates, protein, fat, grape acid, etc. And spiritual energy is not only related to the soul, emotions It can also influence a person's mental state, that is. The physical and mental power comes from these in the final analysis, and it produces a similar chemical reaction with the human body, which is chakra after fusion and extraction. Of course, this also involves more complex The human body's self-processing system, there are differences in the physical quality of different people, which leads to... uh, do you understand?"
"…"
