TSSITWON Chapter 148: The Sword as a Vessel?
🕑 Added 2025-01-02 12:07:53 +0000 UTC"Your body not only allows you to contain the chakra of others without side effects, but it also enables you to rapidly develop with Natural Energy."
Aoki fell silent, his mind filled with various questions. However, one thing became clear to Aoki at this moment: his body was not a weakness as he had previously thought. It was a privilege, something Aoki could use to surpass his limits.

"So, even though I can't naturally expand the amount of chakra, I can contain the chakra of others without limits? Moreover, I have the ability to stabilize Natural Energy and chakra more easily?" Aoki asked with a hesitant tone, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
"Correct," Kuroshiro replied with a firm nod. "However, that is not your only advantage. Over time, the Natural Energy you absorb will passively and gradually strengthen your body. Even without realizing it, your body will become more solid and resilient."
Aoki nodded slowly, processing the explanation. "Even so... I can only use Sage Mode for less than a minute. And the training method you provided, Master Kuroshiro, is very strange. Six hours in the morning and six hours at night? Isn't that excessive?" Aoki's tone sounded skeptical.
Kuroshiro chuckled softly. "That's because our training method, the Feathered Sages—or Mōsen—comes from the unique tradition of the Soft Feather City, Jumo-shi, where we all reside."
Aoki raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued. "Soft Feather City? Is it some kind of hidden village?"
"Not a village, but more like a spiritual city," Kuroshiro replied with a slight smile. "Jumo-shi is inhabited by Summoning Beasts in the form of soft-furred animals—foxes, rabbits, and cats."
"We, the wise beings, have lived in harmony with Natural Energy for centuries. We, the Mōsen, learned the art of Fur Sage Mode from there. This technique not only utilizes Natural Energy to strengthen the body but also provides natural protection."
Aoki listened attentively, imagining a city filled with Summoning Beasts.
"So, that's why this training takes so long," Kuroshiro continued. "Twelve hours a day is not just to train you to enter Fur Sage Mode, but also to ensure your body can gradually absorb Natural Energy. That energy will strengthen your body little by little, even when you're not using that Sage Mode."
Aoki stared at his hands, trying to feel the changes Kuroshiro had described. "So, that's why I feel my body getting stronger. I understand now!" Aoki said, a spark of enthusiasm slowly appearing in his eyes.
"Exactly," Kuroshiro replied in a calm tone. "However, there is another reason why you can only enter Sage Mode for less than a minute. Your limited chakra is the main obstacle. That is also why you struggle to use Ninjutsu effectively."
Aoki nodded slowly, acknowledging the truth in those words.
"That's why you created your own Kenjutsu, right?" Kuroshiro added, his eyes looking at Aoki with pride. "Fur Sage Mode will be your main support. With a stronger body, your Kenjutsu will develop further. And perhaps, one day, your time limit in this mode will also increase."
"I understand, Master Kuroshiro," Aoki said respectfully.
"So, instead of having to enter Sage Mode first to use Senjutsu Chakra—a combination of chakra and Natural Energy—why don't you try using your sword as a vessel?" Kuroshiro suddenly proposed a surprising idea.
Aoki stared at him with wide eyes. "Using the sword as a vessel? You mean, the sword will store the combined Senjutsu Chakra of chakra and Natural Energy?"
Kuroshiro nodded. "Correct. You know, there are special metals that can contain and stabilize chakra, right?"
