Chapter 11: Ninja and Chakra
The world of Naruto has a somewhat deformed society, the ninja who has the most powerful power in the world, but has not converted his own power into a powerful productive force, and cannot create any social wealth by himself, so he can only rely on ordinary people who have no power, and rely on various tasks issued by his country in exchange for payment. In this respect, ninjas are somewhat similar to mercenaries, living on the rewards they receive for completing missions.
From the chaotic Warring States period to the current pattern of one country and one village, this situation has never changed. Therefore, there is a saying in the ninja world that ninjas are tools, although one-sided, but it is indeed very appropriate.
Obviously, although the legendary Six Dao Immortals founded the Ninja Sect and distributed the power of Chakra to the world, they did not standardize the spirit that the people of the Ninja Sect should have and guide the direction of the next generation (or he actually didn't know it). Ninjas can't find the value of their own existence, and they are confused to follow the way forward, and it is easy to be used and distorted (there is not only the credit of the black Jedi, which is why there are so many tragedies in the ninja world).
Lei Bin didn't have much idea about it. Although the mission of the main god is to ask him to defeat Kaguyahime, Otsuki Kaguyahime, he has no intention of becoming a savior. Saving this world, that was Naruto and Sasuke's mission, not his. Now he just wants to live a good life with Chie Tsubaki, and find a way to get through the mission while improving himself.
Very negative thoughts, but as a person who has lived three lifetimes, he understands better than anyone what reality is.
The world has always been the same without anyone, so don't think too much of yourself. What's more, Lei Bin knew that he was just a passerby to this world, and after completing the task, he would probably be taken out of this world by the Reincarnation God Domain. After that, I don't know if I can come back, so why bother with this world.
As a ninja who exists to complete tasks, the efficiency of the officers is quite high. Within a few days, a small flower shop called "Haruki Flower Garden" opened in the commercial street in Konoha Village, and after two or three days of operation, the turnover was still considerable.
After all, as a high-risk type of ninja, it is not uncommon for people to be injured, hospitalized, or even die, and it is a proper etiquette to bring a bouquet of flowers when visiting patients or paying respects to relatives and friends. Previously, there was only one flower shop in Konoha Village, the one opened by the Yamanaka Ino family. Although the scale is large and the variety of flowers is complete, the price is still a little high. This is understandable, after all, the Renshan family is also a famous family in Konoha Village, of course, it will not be a small family, and it is a mid-to-high-end route.
In the past, there was no way, there was only this one flower shop in the village, and there was no place to buy bouquets if I didn't buy them. Now that a relatively civilian flower shop has opened, some ninjas and even civilians who are a little strapped for money have a new choice.
In this way, Lei Bin and Chie Tsubaki are also seizing the business of the Yamanaka family. But fortunately, the people in the mountain family are still kind, and they have their own dignity as a high-ranking family, and they can't get along with Lei Bin because of this little thing.
It's just that although business is good, Lei Bin and Tsubaki are in an economic crisis.
This is also very understandable, after all, Konoha Hidden Village is the largest ninja village in the world, and the Fire Country is also the strongest country on the continent, so commerce is naturally very developed. When you open a shop on a shopping street, the rent for the store is not cheap. In fact, in order to open this flower shop, Chie Tsubaki has taken out all her savings, and now the two of them are beyond their means.
Since ancient times, it has been a man's duty to support a family, and there is no reason for women to carry it all. After making sure that the flower shop's business was on track and that he no longer needed his own help, Lei Bin left home and went to the quest collection office in the village, like other ninjas, to receive tasks and get paid.
It's just that the level of the tasks he took was very speechless - they were all D-class missions!
In the ninja world, the tasks performed by ninjas are divided into five levels: S, A, B, C, and D according to their importance and difficulty (there is also a super S-level above the S level, which is a transnational level of super difficult missions, which will only exist during national wars, and is usually not included in the regular mission level). D-class missions are the lowest level and do not require direct participation in combat or light missions that are not life-threatening. The work may include investigating the whereabouts of pets, conducting conduct investigations, helping to dig sweet potatoes, or taking care of children, etc., and the remuneration is 500 taels to 10,000 taels.
This kind of task generally belongs to those who have just left the school to take it, and it is used to train the simple tasks of the lower ninja to improve their task experience and team awareness. To put it bluntly, it's the kind of non-dangerous chores that can be completed in the village without leaving the village, even if it doesn't take a ninja a little more time. Of course, for ninjas, there is a time limit, but even if you are a rookie with an average level, you can complete it in one day.
It is generally stipulated that as long as a shinobi completes 8 D-level tasks, he can apply to take the middle ninja exam. In fact, after completing the 8 necessary D-level tasks, the general shinobi with good strength will not take the initiative to take the task of this level, but will receive the C-level task with higher difficulty and higher reward.
And for a middle ninja like Mizuki, C-level missions are also easy, and B-level missions are the norm. Previously, the missions of the predecessor Mizuki were recorded as: 0 times for S class, 0 times for A class, 128 times for B class, 85 times for C class, and 103 times for D class. The extremely large number of B-level tasks completed shows the strength of the predecessor Mizuki, and he is also a leader among the middle ninjas in Konoha Village.
It's just that for Lei Bin, who is currently eager to understand the application of chakra and understands the ninja power system, a simple, self-collectible, and D-class mission that does not require leaving the village is enough. He can complete the mission while further familiarizing himself with the power of chakra by unleashing ninjutsu during the mission.
Therefore, in recent times, the number of D-class tasks on its mission record has increased rapidly, and in just one week, it has increased by 50! On average, he completes 7 or even 8 D-class missions a day, which shows his "hard work".
For a while, the name of "Mizuki" can be said to have spread all over Konoha, and many people know that there is a Nakashino who is crazy about D-class tasks in the village recently, and people give him the nickname "Kuaishou Mizuki", which is a joke for a while.
Of course, Lei Bin will not be affected by the rumors, in fact, the task completed in this week has helped him tremendously.
First of all, there are a total of 50 tasks, although the difficulty is different and the remuneration is uneven, but on average, each has a profit of more than 6,000 taels, and all add up to more than 300,000 taels! This greatly alleviated the economic crisis of Lei Bin and Tsubaki, and the flower shop's income was getting better and better, and the life of the two was considered to have survived.
Then, in high-intensity tasks, frequently use ninjutsu, such as using the shadow clone technique when receiving tasks, taking on several tasks at a time, and letting the shadow clones complete the tasks separately; In the process of rushing, use four-way flying, dragonfly jumping, instantaneous technique, etc.; In the task of investigating the whereabouts of pets, use breathing techniques, clones, stealth techniques, etc.; Practice transformation, doppelganger, and stand-in in tracking tasks; In the field hoeing, harvesting crops, and taking care of children, practice shadow clone technique, and use no use; Practise climbing trees in fruit and vegetable picking tasks; Practice treading water in the river cleanup mission...... The familiar use of a large number of basic ninjutsu has greatly improved its ninjutsu level.
The most conspicuous thing is that on his character skill page, the levels of "Twelve Earthly Branches Handprint" and "Chakra Refinery" have reached lv7! And the skill star is not the initial one-star, but is upgraded to two-star!
According to God's Domain, it is a mastery-level two-star skill!
Don't think this level is low, as the foundation of ninjutsu, "Chakra Refining Technique" and "Twelve Earth Branch Handprints" are the foundation of the foundation. Its status is like the "Basic Internal Strength" and "Basic Fists and Feet" in ancient martial arts, although it is not powerful, but it is the source of the evolution of thousands of ninjutsu.
What's more, there are millions of ninjutsu in this world, but there are not many ways to cultivate and extract chakra, and "Chakra Refinery" is the most popular and widely spread. Some of the cultivation secret techniques that only circulated in the big family were one star higher than this technique, and the cultivation effect was not much different from the "Chakra Refining Technique" that Lei Bin had mastered now.
And "The Twelve Earthly Branches of the Handprint", the entire ninja world uses the same version, no matter how strong the ninja releases the ninjutsu, he can only simplify the handprint and cannot do without the handprint.
Now Lei Bin can achieve five seals in one second with both hands and four seals in one second with one hand, although it is not as good as the metamorphosis of the peak ninja in this world such as Uchiha Itachi with one hand and six seals in one second, but it is already a super level. General simple ninjutsu such as the "three-body technique" is basically an instantaneous thought.
As for the fire escape ninjutsu left by the predecessor Mizuki (Mizuki's chakra attribute is a single "fire"), Lei Bin is also familiar with it. In fact, the first time he released the fire escape ninjutsu that was like magic, he was also quite excited.
This is indeed a very powerful supernatural power, but after a while, Lei Bin found that he didn't like the power of chakra.
Because chakra is formed by refining the body's cellular energy and mixing spiritual energy, it is actually the power obtained by overdrawing the body, which is contrary to the ancient martial arts and even the concept of national arts with the goal of cultivating the "leakless body". For a martial arts master like Lei Bin, the feeling of cultivating chakra is very twisted.
Every time he extracted his body's energy from the cells, feeling that the originally full and energetic cells had become shriveled and weakened, Lei Bin could feel that his entire body was twitching, resisting the refinement of Chakra.
Although it can be recovered, but with such a lack of physical strength, it is no wonder that the entire ninja world does not live long, even if it is as strong as the Six Dao Immortals, they will die of old age.
Therefore, in the eyes of Lei Bin, who practiced ancient martial arts and national arts, the power of Chakra completely belonged to the side door. It is important to know that regardless of martial arts and national arts, practicing to the depths of the essence is beneficial to the effect of prolonging life. Although it is not as exaggerated as the legendary cultivators, qi refiners, etc., who can live for thousands of years, they can still have a longevity of more than a hundred years.
However, the cultivation of chakra, although the strength and strength are not weaker than the ancient martial true qi, the internal strength of the national arts, the cultivation of the true true yuan, etc., can only protect the body, but cannot cultivate the body, and cannot seek immortality.
"It doesn't feel right, this method of cultivation looks like it has been castrated!" Lei Bin intuitively sensed that something was wrong. Because it stands to reason that there are thousands of avenues in the world, but in the end, they will end up in the same way, and when they practice to the depths, the effect should be similar, and there is no reason why the power of chakra is special, after all, the effect of medical ninjutsu is also obvious to all.
What's more, the big barrel of wood Kaguya, known as the "ancestor of Chakra", is not an immortal existence, and can only be sealed, not killed; Although his son "Six Dao Immortals" is old and dead, he is only physically dead, and his spirit or soul still exists in the ninja world, and he has been watching the development of the ninja world, and his state is somewhat similar to the "autopsy immortal" in Chinese mythology; And the two sons of the Six Dao Immortals, Indra and Asura, although they did not leave a complete consciousness like the Six Dao Immortals, their chakra can be reincarnated from generation to generation.
is also cultivating chakra, why is the Otsuki family different from the rest of the ninja world? It would be far-fetched to say that it is because their family is "aliens" and not the original natives of this world.
It must be known that among the three legendary holy places, the Great Toad Immortal of Miaomu Mountain, the White Snake Immortal of Longdi Cave, and the Slug Immortal of the Wet Bone Forest, these three are also chakras who have cultivated, and they are still natives of this world, but they are all existences that have lived for an unknown number of years, although they don't know if they will die, but at least they have gained immortality.
Even if there is a gap between the cultivation effect of humans and animals, it will not be so outrageous!
The only explanation is that the chakra cultivation method handed down by the six immortals does have certain flaws!
Thinking about it again, the cultivation method of the immortal chakra is only available in the three holy places, and the original animation makes it clear that the big toad immortal is acquainted with the young "Six Immortals" Otsuki Yuyi and his younger brother Otsuki Yumura. For thousands of years, the psychic beasts of the three holy lands would help psychics almost without asking for anything in return...... The psychic beasts are a bit amusing to do this.
"Is it really not asking for a return, or is it that the return has already been paid?" Lei Bin muttered to himself, "But there is also a problem, why do the Six Dao Immortals also die of old age?" Or why did he have to abandon his body? Could it be ......"
Lei Bin raised his head and looked at the full moon in the sky, a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Big Barrel Wood Kaguya-hime?" It is indeed an extraordinary existence! ”
