A Journey Through the Universes

Chapter 76: A Month Later (One)

Tetsuya slowly woke up.

Slowly getting out of bed, he went to the washbasin in order to wash off the remnants of sleep.

Then there was a little exercise, mainly gymnastics, after which a contrast shower was waiting for him.

After the shower, the hero looked at his watch and thought...

"I have two hours left before the academy. That's just enough time to train ninjutsu."

Standing in the middle of the room, Tetsuya folded several seals.

With his control, it is easier to perform the "E" rank technique.

He didn't say anything, just silently performed the technique.

*Pooh* A small amount of smoke engulfed his body.

A second later, the smoke cleared. Tetsu was nowhere to be found, but a stunning blonde with big "chests" and a kind, naive face appeared.

She looked at her hands in surprise, and then touched her breasts.

"The Reincarnation technique is quite amazing, but this is just the beginning. Ugh, poor Shizuka, how she wears them all the time. It's hard and terribly uncomfortable." he thought, "weighing" the chests in his hands.

Leaving the chest alone, the hero went to the mirror and began a thorough examination, looking for any flaws.

"A perfect copy. I am indistinguishable from Shizuki, although there could be no other outcome, because I happened to thoroughly study my woman's body." he thought, pleased with the result.

He canceled the technique, and coming out of the smoke spoke.

Still, being a guy is much more fun, and most importantly more convenient

At this time, his hands were folding the seals again.

Soon, the area around the hero was again covered with smoke.

A second later, four Tetsui were coming out of the smoke.

The only thing they differed in was the shadow that the copies did not cast.

Rather weak technique. Clones are not material and are only an illusion. A sufficiently experienced person will easily understand that in front of him is only an illusory clone. they muttered softly at the same time, until the three clones scattered.

- "However, in certain situations, this technique will be of use." he thought, simultaneously folding the next series of seals.

Smoke again, but this time Tetsuya used Kawarimi, a Substitution Technique.

In place of the hero was a stack of blankets, when he himself was already sitting on the bed.

"But this technique is very, very good. I don't know why it was rarely shown in anime, because it is very useful." he thought, putting the blankets back in place.

Standing in the center of the room, the hero thought.

- "A month. That's how much, according to my calculations, it will take to study the entire library of the academy. Then I'll request an early exam. The academy only holds me back, taking up most of the day for useless, in my case, classes. In addition, you need to hone as much as possible all the techniques available now, without forgetting about body training"

He was well aware that he had the opportunity to study quietly at the academy, slowly building up his strength.

But it didn't suit him. There are quite a lot of reasons for this, but the most important of them is banal boredom.

For an hour and a half, he practiced ninjutsu, trying to make it as good and faster as possible.

Then there was a small breakfast of fruit salad with yogurt and sending to the academy.

Boring, useless lessons again.

Boring and useless sparring again.

And back to the library for boring, but useful extraction of information.

And so the days passed, replacing each other.

Every day he absorbed information from the library faster and faster.

Every day teachers and students were more and more surprised by his progress and talent.

At first Tetsuya was called a child prodigy, then a genius At the end of the month, he was recognized as a monster.

On behalf of the hero

So a month has flown by. It's time to request an early exam.

As I walk to the staff room, let me tell you what progress I have managed to achieve in this rather short time.

To begin with, the knowledge from the academic library is completely absorbed.

Moreover, it was done only in half a month, which is much better than my assumptions.

Every day it became easier and easier for me to read books in this mode. Now the effectiveness of such reading has tripled.

Next comes the general library, which is much larger than the academic one.

I also read all the most useful things in it.

Although the general library was many times larger, it was mostly filled with literature and what I had already read at the academy.

But let's move on to what useful things we managed to scrape out of it.

And we managed to scrape out quite a lot.

Styles of taijutsu and kenjutsu, medical books and irenjutsu, detailed maps of all countries, scrolls on herbalism and fuinjutsu.

This is the most interesting thing that happened.

As for the styles of taijutsu and kenjutsu, I can only say one thing, they are useless to me, since my level is much higher, but after studying these styles, it will be easier for me to predict the movements of the enemy even without the Eyes of the Emperor.

However, among all this junk in the kinjutsu department, a very interesting scroll with a technique with the modest name "Eight Gates" was found.

It may seem strange to you that this technique was in the public domain.

It also seemed so to me at first, but after reading the scroll, I realized why the technique was here.

Extremely high requirements and unpleasant consequences of its use.

Let's start with the requirements. The first is a strong will. The second is a powerful body. The third is high pain tolerance. The fourth is excellent control over the body. The fifth is talent.

And if everything is clear with the first three, then there are questions about the fourth and fifth. Let's start with body control.

You see, the gate is a special tenketsu that regulates the flow of chakra in the body. And in order to feel these special tenketsu banal, you need good control over the body, which is quite difficult to achieve, and with each subsequent tenketsu, the complexity increases. It also depends on the control over the body, how quickly you can open the gate itself.

And the last of the requirements that makes people give up on technology Talent.

This talent lies in the fact that the body of all Shinobi is different. Someone can open the gates relatively easily for this technique, and someone, applying the same efforts, may not get anything at all.

And here we smoothly approach the last and main problem of this technique.

Time.

It takes people years of daily practice and training to open the first gate.

In order to learn how to open the gate, Shinobi must give all of himself to only one technique.

He has to practice this technique for years, day after day, knowing that nothing can come out of it at all

Who wants to experience all this, rely on luck, when you can just pick up and learn a pair of ninjutsu with genjutsu?

That's why this technique is here.

Will I practice it? Sure. But only after acquiring shadow clones, which will give me the opportunity to focus on physical characteristics.

Next we have medical books and Irenjutsu.
