Chapter 247 - MSIN: Chapter 246

Haori had always been unable to use ninjutsu or even chakra while using his electrocution user ability.

This doesn't mean he couldn't use them. In reality, there isn't any conflict in the power systems if both are used simultaneously. It's one of those situations where theoretically there's no problem, but it's difficult to implement.

The more powerful the electrocution user's ability is, the more complex the instantaneous calculations in Haori's brain become. That long string of formulas can't have any errors, or it will cause the ability to stop.

Under these conditions that restrict brainpower, Haori finds it difficult to use another power system.

To put it simply, the reason he can't use ninjutsu while using his psychic abilities is that, at that time, his RAM, VRAM, CPU, and other hardware are all heavily occupied. He doesn't have the spare processing power to multitask.

Theoretically, as long as his brain development continues, multitasking shouldn't be impossible. In fact, Haori has been training for this all along, but he can only do it step by step. After all, in this world, there's no such thing as simply adding a RAM stick to increase computing power.

This special brain development training naturally takes a lot of time.

But because of a certain event, Haori simplified this matter… He had indeed used both abilities simultaneously, although it was only once, by chance. But the two abilities did coexist in him, and at that time, they didn't cause any serious consequences.

So, he chose to try again.

Sometimes, Haori is very careful and cautious. But sometimes, he's very careless and reckless.

Bold experimentation, careful verification. This is a very scientific research attitude. But there's a prerequisite: the subject of the experiment isn't your own body… So, those who dare to experiment on themselves are truly brave.

Anyway, under the assumption of his assumptions, Haori's actions caused his current predicament… His left hand was severely burned.

The reality is that he didn't gain immense power immediately. Instead, it's like shift work. His right hand had only just recovered, and now his left hand has entered the recovery period again.

According to Haori's post-experiment speculation, it's likely that using other chakra natures while using the electrocution user ability is simply a parallel connection of the two abilities. It shouldn't cause any consequences.

But it's different when it's used with Lightning Release. The shared use of two abilities with the same properties is no longer parallel. It's a series connection. So, it burned his hardware… The destructive consequences of the experiment were actually beyond Haori's expectations.

As for why there wasn't this consequence last time, Haori could only attribute it to a coincidence within a coincidence.

In short, this incident taught Haori that, unless he has Orochimaru's ability to replace even the chassis, he shouldn't try to destroy his own hardware lightly… What a painful lesson.

But the fusion of the electrocution user and Lightning Release isn't completely impossible. After this accident and lesson, Haori pondered hard, and finally found a feasible path. Assuming that two liquids are immiscible, because they explode when they mix, you have to find a neutralizer to add to them.

Or, if the two are immiscible, maybe they both dissolve in water?

Perhaps being half-disabled has become a common state for him. After being injured, Haori didn't panic at all. Instead, he could analyze the situation rationally… He's even gotten used to this. It's clear that sometimes, thick-headedness isn't entirely undesirable.

Haori simply gave his severely burned-like injury a simple treatment, then put the matter aside… It wasn't because the injury wasn't serious. On the contrary, Haori could easily judge the severity of this injury: it was something he couldn't handle himself.

He probably needed a professional medical person, a very professional one.

After the experiment failed and his reckless behavior succeeded, Haori didn't rush to cure himself, nor did he rush to start training in senjutsu. The next thing he did was to read through many of the documents in Shikkotsu Forest.

Before Haori kept his pet here, Shikkotsu Forest only had the Slug as a summoning beast. This was different from Ryuchi Cave and Mount Myōboku. Shikkotsu Forest didn't have any so-called Sages… But a sacred place is a sacred place. It had all the necessary information and secrets hidden here. They were just recorded in the form of text.

Haori was probably one of the readers of these texts.

Here, Haori learned a lot of "unknown" things. At least, he didn't know these things before…

What kind of psychological changes did Haori undergo after learning all of this? No one knows except for him.

But after learning all of this, he finally started the senjutsu training he had planned.

...

Shikkotsu Forest is generally a peaceful place. After all, a sacred place needs the atmosphere of a sacred place. If it were as noisy as a market, then this "Three Great Sacred Places" would be so embarrassing.

The huge shadow cast by the sunlight quickly swept across the ground, then… uh, it swept across again.

The Yata Crow flew over Haori's head again and again. Although its master didn't pay any attention to it, the flying creature was having a blast.

In this environment, the little girl's laughter could travel far.

The Split Dog obediently followed behind Haori. And Mirai was placed on its middle head.

The flat, round dog head couldn't hold a baby who hadn't even mastered crawling, so to prevent her from rolling off, the Split Dog used chakra to hold her…

So, no matter how hard Mirai tried, she couldn't move an inch on this big head. Maybe it was the first time she had encountered this situation. She probably thought it was interesting, so she kept giggling.

As for giving this little creature, who wasn't even enough to fill its teeth, a bite… that was impossible. Aside from Haori's various restrictions, the Split Dog would one day evolve into Hachiko, the loyal dog.

Senjutsu chakra is a balanced combination of natural energy, spiritual energy, and physical energy. For Haori, the difficulty wasn't in this ratio. To be honest, this kind of distribution was something he was best at. The more difficult part was sensing and introducing natural energy.

But before that, Haori had a decisive flaw.

Senjutsu training and use have a very basic prerequisite: the practitioner's own chakra must be at a massive level. Otherwise, it won't be enough to suppress the unstable and highly risky natural energy.

Senjutsu is actually a kind of cheat…

No matter how much chakra Haori has, it's clearly not at the "massive" level. So, the paradox for him is… if he had that much chakra, why would he even bother training in senjutsu?

"Haori, you should understand the risks of senjutsu training. Are you still going to do it? And I think you should heal your hand first."

A Slug split body was also following Haori.

"It's okay. I've already made my decision… Is this the place?"

Haori looked at the huge circular array in front of him.

"Yes. This has existed since I was born. It's a facility for training in senjutsu. Its purpose is to help practitioners sense natural energy."

Born? Are you sure it's not just clearing data and memories every once in a while? I have this feeling that the Slug has been alive for a long time…

"Then, let's begin."

After Haori said this, he didn't hesitate for a moment before walking into the circular array.

Actually, he seriously doubted whether this was actually a gathering place for some kind of cross-dimensional religious cult.

The so-called circular array was actually a huge circle of "F" shaped wooden stakes of varying sizes and heights. The two horizontal lines of the "F" extended to the core of the circular array…

This isn't for training in senjutsu. It's for burning heretics, right?

After imagining a series of religious rituals, Haori sat motionless in the center of the circular array.

Sensing natural energy requires complete stillness. After calming down, Haori felt a strange energy radiating from the wooden stakes, then flowing into his body.

Then, he felt a strange sensation. If he could take a look at himself ten years after his death in his previous life, he would probably have a similar feeling. That's what they mean when they say "grass grows over the grave," right?

Something, he didn't know if it was a mushroom or a sapling, grew on top of his head at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then… it grew rapidly.

To describe it more scientifically and figuratively, it should be said… a brand new vegetable person is about to be born.
