Chapter 140: Adamantium
🕑 Added 2021-09-05 14:26:30 +0000 UTCFrom his training, Shikamaru acquired only basic techniques for creating liquid metal and simple structures. He has not yet reached the creation of weapons and spears, since he was busy with adamantium and a simple understanding of transformations. For all metals, techniques such as creating bullets and spears, small buildings and shields, hand seals are universal, only the metal and the composition of the chakra were different. Acquired, use in battle until it really works. Except, perhaps, adamantium. Shikamaru was able to master the spears and the protective dome, and also received several ideas on how to combine these techniques. Otherwise, if you need to create something, you had to think for yourself and create Jutsu yourself. The basis was already there, then you need to act in accordance with the rules. But that was what Shikamaru was counting on. It is much preferable for him to create himself, because he was in no hurry to go anywhere. Strength is needed, but if he was so obsessed with it, he would have acquired the Mangeky Sharingan long ago. With his current body, Shikamaru was more than confident in his ability to resist blindness. In addition, the glasses allowed. But, he was in no hurry yet, as soon as he figured out the basics, in any case there was no one to test his eyes on, and the chance to awaken Mangeky could appear suddenly. Naturally, this is unlikely, but there is no need to rush. Having the ability to fight Kakashi and win, even though he did not fight seriously, is already a completely different level. For a ten-year-old boy, this is a very good feat.
Liquid metal turned out to be another good metal acquisition. This is generally one of the best techniques in this element. And this is more likely not a technique, but just another form of transformation, which does not freeze over time due to the measured introduction of the chakra. The only difference was in the amount of chakra for certain types of metals. Mass application due to the liquid state. It involved more of the elemental component of fire than lightning. This type of metal was more suited precisely to the transformation of the chakra itself into elements, rather than the surrounding resources. There was no need to talk about the danger of liquid metal for the enemy. A wave of mercury will be no less dangerous than a pure spit of the elements of lava. In some ways, even more dangerous. All of this is just the beginning: from exploding liquid metal clones to all-metal structures, which in a moment can revert to a liquid form. There are a lot of applications, everything already depends on the fantasy of the owner of the element.
Then Shikamaru tried to test the golems. But, as it turned out, this Jutsu is not so easy to apply. For the first time in his life, something didn't work out right away as he recognized the seals and the correct chakra distribution. Of course, except for the first training sessions with my father. In the future, Shikamaru was given everything very simply.
This time, the techniques of golems, ranging from wood to metal, simply did not work. Only the chakra wasted was striking, so he decided to postpone this training for now. It was not even worth talking about the Transformation of Buddha and so on. Growing a tree or creating a piece of iron is clearly much easier.
Then he tried to alloy metals, but after a couple of unsuccessful attempts, he also put it off for now. Then he proceeded to the Snake Dance, a rather interesting ninjutsu, which was partly also Kenjutsu. Its essence was very simple: the user creates a metal whip that resembles a long sword in shape, but at the same time is as flexible and light as a rope. As a result, in order to master this technique, it is important not only to master liquid metal transformation, but also to be able to maintain this state for a long time. Shikamaru coped with this, but he did not really succeed in applying the Dance in practice. The first attempt turned into that very sword-whip, but Shikamaru did not get the ability to control it. Therefore, the first jerk of this rope cut down several nearby trees and flew behind and cut down trees there as well. In general, it was still necessary to catch the balance and develop the skill. So Shikamaru put this weird sword style on hold for now. It was very impressive, but without proper training, it can only be used to the detriment of yourself and others.
After finishing with the metals and dealing with the toxic remains, Shikamaru rested for a couple of hours, replenishing a little chakra, and then began to practice the elements of Storm and Wood. Having created three dozen clones, he turned to them and ordered:
- Fight, - without further ado, the clones were equally divided, and then went out alternately against each other using the learned Jutsu. So far, quite a few hand seals have had to be folded, so some techniques may still not be so easy to use in battle. But, this is not critical, any shinobi still in the academy learn to quickly fold hand seals. In addition, it was for the sake of learning that these tests of new techniques were passed. Checking the destructive potential, using them in certain situations and preparing for a combat situation. Of course, a simple demo is no good here, but this is just the beginning. You need to practice the technique more than a hundred times to learn at least a little and get used to the seals and chakra distribution. Shikamaru has recently mastered the individual elements, so the new transformations of the Enhanced and Expanded Genomes are still not so easy for him. In addition, there is still not so much chakra, even after the moment of restoration. So this kind of training needs to be cranked for several more days, and maybe months.
The storm was resisted by woody structures and then vice versa. This element has proven to be quite useful at medium range due to its specific properties. Yes, and in battle on the far side was quite suitable. The Storm's conductance and control proved to be slightly better than the Furious Lightning. Usually, to make lightning flow smoothly, and even direct it just the highest level of mastery of the element, here the Storm has already received ease of handling thanks to the Release of Water. Moreover, Storm can interact even in the weather and use the environment in battle. Battles on the water or in rainy weather will be of great help to the owner of the genome. Even if you don't introduce yourself to rain, it can always be invoked with the same ability. Basically, all of the Storm Ninjutsu came down to attacks with charged attacks from a distance, because this was one of the main advantages.
Next is Wood Release. Here, the basics are natural - managing the growth of trees and changing their own cells along with chakra. Shikamaru had already checked the world of trees during his attempts to create a golem and then he wasted a lot of chakra on it. Now it was worth fixing everything.
Trees can be grown anywhere, it is only important to use the chakra and introduce it into the ground or onto certain surfaces. The main thing is that there should be at least some rudiments of plants. It is natural not to grow a tree just from a chakra, because it is not an Extended Genome. But this is quite possible using your own cells, for example, tree clones are created. The chakra of the owner of the element, one might say, is more saturated with vitality and it is precisely because of it that all the user's cells change so much. Simply put, the chakra changes the entire body, and this happens due to several circumstances: Senju's lineage and Wood Release. Only together these two forces can truly reveal each other. That is why DNA embedded in other people are not able to reveal the true powers of the Wood Release and the terrifying regenerative abilities of Hashirama. Only these two abilities bring each other into strength while maintaining balance.
