(NSS)Chapter 154: Reaching for Kekkai Tota
🕑 Added 2025-01-12 16:31:37 +0000 UTC'This is too dangerous to squander carelessly.' I thought seriously after seeing this result.
If a single drop of the liquid was enough to turn a normal medicinal plant into something that villages would kill over to have then the stuffs potential was far to large to use casually. One might think that having a ready supply of extremely potent medicinal plants would be an all gain type deal but the truth wasn't so simple. Quite rarely did a medical ninja need medicine that was so potent as most medicines were made for more precision than blunt forcing an issue away.-
Not to say that there weren't such cases but using unreasonably potent medicines tended to cause more harm than good and thus were typically considered last resort type things. The body was a marvelously complex thing that worked kinda like a clock in how every small piece was but a single cog that pushed another forward. Damaging some of the cogs can be easily fixed but others were much more difficult to repair once damaged and a overly potent medicine had the potential to do exactly that.-
Whatever the case I resolved myself to keep the knowledge of the liquid natural energy to myself. The fog of natural energy in my chamber however was impossible to hide unless I sealed the chamber and refused to allow anyone to enter. Obviously I wouldn't do that so it was no surprise that my sensei and Karin discovered it.
"Is this natural energy? Why is it so dense?" My sensei asked confused as she swung her hand through the fog.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Unless you'd like to turn even further to stone that is." i said as I walked out of the fog.
My sensei looked confused by what I said until she went to move her hand and felt a chill go down her spine as she saw the difference from mere moments before. The hand she had sent through the fog had turned grey and stony with cracks along it's length. I casually made a grabbing motion towards her arm and drew out the natural energy in it returning it to normal minus some small open wounds from the cracks.
"How are you fine though?" she asked with a frown.
"For me this place is practically a paradise but for anyone who isn't a sage or highly resistant to natural energy it's a death sentence. Even a brief encounter with this natural fog as I've come to calling it and whatever part of the body touched it will petrify." I said with a shrug.
"Beautiful but dangerous." Karin muttered seriously and I had to agree with that statement.
The fog looked like a swirling rainbow mist and was quite pleasant to look at but much like brightly colored animals it was extremely dangerous.
"I assume you aren't here to investigate my dwelling though so what can I do for you today?" I asked casually.
"I was coming to inform you that the first new Kekkai genkai user has appeared in Konoha. Storm release. The spies in the village have been going crazy as a result and we've had no less than twenty appear in various positions in an attempt to get at the collection after we increased the security around it." my sensei said seriously.
"Surprisingly less than I thought but I suppose the rest are likely clever enough not to get ahead of themselves and thus are biding their time." I said not surprised by the information.
"If this wasn't so serious I wouldn't have came in person but we need to get ahead of this." she said firmly.
"It's not really a big problem. Just leave the actual copies of the collection with me and have each person trying to get it checked by the Yamanaka. So long as they are forced to stay here to read the collection the risk of the other villages getting them is minimized. As for forcefully taking the collection, there are easier ways to commit suicide." I said with a chuckle.
She seemed to think about it for a moment before nodding "That will do perfectly." she said before leaving.
Once she left I headed back into the fog of my chamber and quickly filled out the Wind volume of the collection since I had ironically already covered all of the Kekkai genkai utilizing this chakra nature. With this the limit collection was complete with all five elemental natures covered to the best of my ability. While I didn't doubt that there were Kekkai genkai not included here I simply couldn't find any records of them and thus didn't know to do so until they appear.-
With that in mind I settled on trying to reach for the next logical step, Kekkai Tota. I knew of two but I was sure there were even more than that waiting to be discovered. To start out with however I chose to go with the Kekkai Tota I could actually reference by watching it's user utilizing it, Zero release. Shiro, my crane used this Kekkai tota innately and so I had an easy example to look to for any doubts I may have during the developmental process. The biggest problem however was that I had no damn clue what the proper ratio for the Kekkai tota was as unlike Kekkai genkai it had three parts instead of two and that meant nearly a thousand different possible combinations.-
I thought back to the two Kekkai genkai that I believed were fused to create the Kekkai Tota for possibly routes in this regard. Scorch release with it's seventy six fire twenty four wind ratio and Ice release with it's eighty three water seventeen wind ratio. Interestingly by making this comparison I discovered that in both Kekkai genkai Wind played a minor augmentative role and the Fire or Water chakras were the main stars of the show.-
With that in mind I decided to go with a twenty wind forty fire forty water ratio to start out with. To no surprise it blew up in my face rather than working though I did confirm that the wind nature served as a stabilizing force between the two opposing chakras. This was good as I just needed to get the ratio of those two right so they didn't immediately clash before tweaking the ratios incrementally in hopes of finding the right one.
