"Secondly, you need a robust physique with abundant vitality to master and properly use the Chakra Enhanced Strength technique."
"Without a strong physique, forget about using Chakra Enhanced Strength—even learning it would be impossible."
"Gathering a huge amount of chakra in your limbs and detonating it at the point of impact puts a lot of pressure on your body, limbs, and cells."
"Without a strong physique, your limbs will be crippled."
"And without abundant vitality, the damage done to your body during training this technique or using it in combat will stack up, leaving your limbs weakened for a long time."
"Or worse, your limbs will be permanently weakened."
"We, the Senju clan Shinobi, and those with inherently powerful bodies and rich vitality, for example, you and the Uzumaki clan members, won't face such issues."
"For one, our bodies are incredibly strong."
"Attacks that could reduce the bodies of civilian Shinobi into blood mist would only cause an adult Senju Shinobi to suffer from muscle pain or fractured bones."
"That's how strong your, mine, and other Senju clan Ninja's bodies are."
"Plus, our abundant vitality can easily heal minor injuries, internal wounds, or fractures, leaving no lingering after-effects."
"Even you, who is still a child, possesses vitality strong enough to heal minor scratches and bruises within minutes."
"My body can heal broken bones within hours, even without receiving treatment from medical Ninjutsu or potions."
"This is the boon, which others without Senju or Uzumaki clan bloodline can only dream of but never achieve through conventional means."
"This innate advantage is exactly what makes learning and using Chakra Enhanced Strength possible for us."
"Mistakes that can cripple others permanently will be nothing more than minor scratches for us."
"So, don't worry."
"Your physique is even more ridiculous than the Senju clan members."
"Even if your bones break, tendons snap, and blood flies around, you will be completely healed within a couple of days with prompt treatment."
"You will be as fresh as lettuce, ready to train and fight once again."
Although Tobirama tried to explain the benefits of Senju's bloodline with a calm expression, Seimei could clearly see his father lifting his chin up slightly.
Clearly, he was extremely proud of his clan's prowess.
If it were still the Warring States Era, he would have already started mocking the Uchiha clan in the middle of his explanation countless times.
Thank god his father's temperament calmed down a little.
But…
Can you please not talk about my bones breaking and tendons snapping?
Even if you're only using this as a metaphor, it's really giving me goosebumps.
I may not be afraid of pain, but I don't like it either. I'm not a masochist.
I don't want my tendons to snap and blood to spill if I can avoid it.
Thank you very much.
Seimei grumbled inwardly but kept a neutral, focused face as he listened to Tobirama's explanations.
Seeing Seimei focusing intently, Tobirama continued.
"Finally, training Chakra Enhanced Strength requires vast chakra reserves."
"Without a large amount of chakra, mastering our Secret Taijutsu technique will take ages."
"Even the lowest output of one punch using Chakra Enhanced Strength will cost as much chakra as employing a B-rank elemental Ninjutsu."
"For most Shinobi with a pathetically low amount of chakra (low according to Senju standards), using a B-rank Ninjutsu is much more efficient than using a move of Chakra Enhanced Strength that may not even hit the enemy."
"A powerful move of Chakra Enhanced Strength technique will cost the same amount of chakra required to perform an average A-rank Ninjutsu."
"And over 90% of Jonin in this world will completely exhaust their chakra reserves after using a low-tier A-rank Ninjutsu 10-12 times."
"That's why A-rank Ninjutsu and Genjutsu are often seen as trump cards of most Jonin and Elite Jonin level Shinobi."
"In fact, many Elite Chunin, Special Jonin, and early-stage full-fledged Jonin even consider B-rank techniques as their trump card."
"For 90% of the Shinobi, the base chakra cost of such high-level techniques is often too much to be used as normal moves."
"Their chakra reserves can't support such luxury at all."
"That's why, for most people, learning Chakra Enhanced Strength is nothing but a waste of time and resources."
"Then again, even if they have a vast chakra reserve, their physique, chakra control, and vitality usually can't match ours."
"It would be better for them to learn a new B-rank Ninjutsu instead."
Tobirama finally paused after explaining everything in detail.
He took a deep breath and waited for Seimei to digest the information.
Seimei stayed silent for a few seconds before looking back at Tobirama with a nod.
"I understand, Father."
"Thank you."
Tobirama simply nodded and said, "Now, it's time for a practical demonstration."
"I will show you what the real Chakra Enhanced Strength looks like."
"Activate your Sharingan to gain a deeper understanding of this technique's chakra flow pattern and internal mechanics."
Seimei nodded and activated his Sharingan.
His ocean-blue eyes immediately turned crimson. Three distinct black tomoe were slowly rotating within his blood-red, glowing Sharingan.
They looked quite eerie and hypnotic at the same time.
Even though Tenseigan could see and read chakra flow better, nothing could beat Sharingan's analysis and copying abilities.
When it comes to learning, analyzing, and copying new and unknown techniques, these eyes are nothing short of cheat codes.
If a Sharingan holder is capable enough, they could steal your clan's legacy and secret techniques in the blink of an eye.
In a way, the Uchiha clan Shinobi were the cheat users of the Ninja world.
No wonder they were so feared.
As long as they could unlock Three-tomoe Sharingan, they could become Jonin at the very least.
And not just any Jonin.
Every single one of the Uchiha Jonin could crush an average enemy Jonin to the ground.
You couldn't look into their eyes, fearing their infamous Genjutsu: Sharingan. Even if for just a fraction of a second, Uchiha Chunin and Jonin could pull anyone daring to make eye contact with them into illusions.
Unless someone's mental power or spirit stat was off the charts, making eye contact with a Uchiha Jonin with three-tomoe Sharingan during one-on-one would be a death sentence.
They would read your every move.
They could analyze and anticipate your moves.
They would make you dance to their rhythm, making you feel utterly hopeless.
That's how dangerous Uchiha and their Sharingan are.
So, Seimei, an Otsutsuki and wielder of Sharingan, would decisively abuse this absolute bug-like cheating eye.
Sharingan + System = An analytical and copycat cheat + A proficiency grinding cheat = God-level hacking.
Nothing could stop him now.
Seeing Seimei's Sharingan focusing on him, Tobirama began the demonstration.
"Watch closely. Feel the chakra flow, analyze it, and ingrain this technique deep in your mind."
Tobirama began taking a fighting stance.
His legs parted a little wide, and he lowered his waist a bit to shift his center of gravity lower, maximizing his balance.
His right shoulder moved slightly backward as he pulled his right hand back and clasped his fingers into a fist.
A large amount of chakra began to flow into his right arm and gathered around his fist.
The gathered chakra quickly stabilized.
Right at this moment, Tobirama moved and threw a punch with his right hand. The momentum created by the sheer physical strength was quite frightening, causing the air to ripple.
BOOOOOM~
The moment his right hand stopped mid-air, the chakra gathered in his right arm, and his fist came forward to his knuckles and the front surface of his fist before detonating with a resounding boom.
The shockwave from the detonating chakra moved forward instantly with an ear-splitting sound.
The air was being distorted and compressed visibly before expanding with an even greater speed.
At the next moment, the shockwave traveled forward carrying deadly compressed air, which hit the nearby tree 5 meters away.
The bark of the tree was blown into smithereens. The tree was quite sturdy and thick enough to require 4-5 people to cover its circumference.
Still, it was almost wiped out by the mere shockwave of a punch.
The entire event, from taking a stance to almost destroying the large tree, happened in the span of a fraction of a second.
The three tomoe of Seimei's Sharingan spun rapidly, capturing the entire event without missing any details.
His Sharingan quickly analyzed the entire technique. And since he had already read the theory and the anecdotes left behind by the ancestors, copying the Chakra Enhanced Strength went quite smoothly.
His Sharingan did its magic.
Thanks to the Sharingan's copy ability, he didn't even have to try practicing the technique in the first place to gain a preliminary understanding of it.
As if to confirm his guess, his system panel lit up at the corner of his eye.
Ding~
[Your Sharingan has successfully copied a new technique.]
[Your physique, chakra control, and other stats met the techniques' requirements]
