Meditation

In no time at all.

You have a new reply.

Naruto's spirits lifted, and he immediately opened the reply.

Floor 1 [Wizard Apprentice]:

"Perfect timing. I'm currently in a wizarding world, as a wizarding apprentice. The wizards in this world are physically weak, but they specialize in mental power."

"I have a basic meditation method here that can enhance mental strength through meditation."

"In exchange, I hope to obtain cultivation methods for 'strengthening the physical body' or 'enhancing life energy.' This body is too weak; I'm even worried that I'll die suddenly before the experiment is finished."

Wizard? Meditation?

A glint flashed in Naruto's eyes.

Their world is primarily about cultivating spiritual power? That's exactly what he needs.

Naruto replied without hesitation:

"Deal. I have a Chakra Refining Method here, which can extract mixed energy chakra from the body and mind, and has a certain enhancement effect on physical fitness."

The Chakra Refining Method Naruto gave was the same general refining method taught at the Ninja Academy.

This kind of thing is basically everywhere in the ninja world; you can buy it for a few hundred taels at any bookstore.

It's something almost every ninja knows, and they all do it pretty much the same way; it's a technique that has been widely proven.

It may not be incredibly powerful, but it's definitely effective and harmless.

The two then exchanged tips in a private chat.

After the transaction, the [Wizard Apprentice] seemed to remember something and added:

"Energy systems differ across worlds, and various methods and secrets are for reference only. Please do not copy them completely."

"Otherwise, your brain might explode, and don't blame me for not warning you."

"However, you can modify it according to your local conditions, and maybe the effect will be better, but who knows?"

"Good luck."

After saying that, [Wizard Apprentice] logged off.

【Ding! 】

[Suggestion included: Modified Meditation Method]

[Mission Requirement: Localize meditation techniques and create a mental training method suitable for the ninja world]

[Mission Reward: Grade A Treasure Chest]

"Grade A?"

Naruto raised an eyebrow.

This shows that the task of "modified meditation method" is extremely difficult, but once successful, the rewards are also huge.

Moreover, this was the first time he had learned about the incompatibility of energy systems in different worlds.

When he was learning breathing techniques, he did not feel any difference in the so-called energy system.

But upon closer inspection, it's not strange at all.

Breathing techniques, as the name suggests, are just a set of general training skills, while other energy systems are closely related to different worlds.

This wizard apprentice will probably also need to localize his "Chakra Extraction Method".

Naruto then began to browse through this so-called meditation method.

After reading it, he finally understood why the "Wizard Apprentice" had added that disclaimer at the end.

The meditation method in the Wizarding World requires condensing runes in the mind and capturing elemental particles to enhance mental power.

Elemental particles, on the other hand, are a type of free energy unique to the wizarding world.

Runes are energy pathways that wizards discovered over tens of thousands of years and through the exploration of countless people in order to capture and tame elemental particles.

Although ninjas could summon wind and rain, Naruto had never heard of any elemental particles.

Naruto sighed and tossed the meditation technique aside.

"Is this a dead end?"

No, that's not right.

"Methods are fixed, but people are flexible."

After a moment of contemplation, Naruto began to re-examine that theory.

"Leaving aside runes and elements, the core theory of this meditation method is—construction!"

"By building houses in the spiritual world, we can solidify our sea of ​​consciousness and increase its capacity."

"Since I don't have elemental particles as bricks, I'll use chakra; since I don't have runes as blueprints, I'll find the theory of Yin Release myself!"

Although the road ahead is unknown and the process may be fraught with risks.

But Naruto glanced at the special pass on the table, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"As long as the theoretical logic is sound, there is nothing I cannot do."

"After all, I'm a genius."

Naruto pushed up his glasses, the lenses flashing: "Certified by the Hokage."

…………

The next day, early in the morning.

After sending shadow clones to the Ninja Academy and then sending out a large number of clones to train and improve their proficiency, Naruto arrived at the Konoha Library.

This domed building is located in a corner of the village.

Compared to the bustling mission hall, this place seemed unusually quiet and deserted.

After all, for most ninjas who value strength and practical combat...

Instead of poring over dry theories here, it's more practical to throw a few kunai and do a few push-ups.

When Naruto placed the special pass bearing the Hokage's seal on the counter, the special Jonin guarding the library nearly popped his eyes out.

He checked it three times before he dared to confirm that it was indeed a special pass issued by the Hokage.

Generally speaking, only ninjas who have made great contributions or achieved outstanding results in the village are granted access to the second floor.

The boy in front of me doesn't seem to be the former at all, so he must have gotten in through connections.

They even had a particularly strong connection, managing to obtain full reading access to the second floor from the Hokage.

"You can now read freely on the second floor, but you need to register before borrowing books, and you cannot take multiple books at once."

"Okay, thank you."

Naruto nodded politely, ignoring the other person's strange look, and stepped onto the spiral staircase.

The second floor houses various ninjutsu and secret techniques of rank C and below, as well as a large number of precious historical documents.

The air here is filled with the smell of old paper.

In the vast space, only a few people were quietly reading, and Naruto's slow footsteps were the only source of noise.

"Alright, let's begin."

Naruto walked to the section on "Yin Release" and "Genjutsu" and formed hand seals.

Bang!

A clone appeared beside him.

Without needing to say more, the clone already knew what its mission was. After nodding to the main body, it began to browse through the books.

Naruto's purpose in coming here is to study the theoretical knowledge of Yin Release nature transformation, the nature of spiritual energy, and the effects of genjutsu on the brain.

With the blessing of photographic memory, Naruto and his clones activated a human scanning mode.

The Fox's Mind Technique, The Magical Technique of Finding the Wrong Place, The Magical Technique of Seeing Naraku...

Books were opened and closed one by one.

As time went by, Naruto's initially expectant gaze gradually cooled, and his brows began to furrow.

Two hours later.

Snapped!

Naruto closed the "Complete Guide to Yin Release Ninjutsu" in his hand and let out a sigh.

"That's too superficial."

Naruto pushed up his glasses, his tone filled with undisguised disappointment.

"Is this the theoretical system of the ninja world?"

Naruto studied it carefully for a long time before he could make out the words between the lines: the whole book was covered with the word "murder".

This may be due to the several Ninja World Wars and the nature of the ninja profession itself.

Almost all the books teach practical skills.

How to kill someone, how to control the enemy before killing him, how to form hand seals faster and then kill him...

It's like giving you a gun and teaching you how to pull the trigger, but not teaching you the formula for gunpowder or the principles of ballistics.

"It seems that it's unlikely we can stand on the shoulders of giants; we have no choice but to forge our own path."

Just as Naruto secretly made up his mind to forge a path on his own.

A voice rang in Naruto's ears.

"Junior, are you very interested in illusion magic?"
