Chapter 74 Morphological Changes - Snake

"The nature transformation of Water Release is flow and pressure; you can feel it for yourself. I don't understand Water Release. The nature transformation of Wind Release is not cutting but tearing."

Let's leave that aside for now. I'll teach you the cultivation method of form transformation first.

There are no shortcuts to form transformation, nor is it necessary to have a teacher. If you can imitate plants, animals, nature, or man-made objects to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing, then you have successfully mastered form transformation.

Through changes in form, everything in the world can be a teacher.

In the ward.

The two gray figures sat on the sofa, one practicing Water Release: Form Transformation and the other practicing Wind Release: Nature Transformation, their roles clearly defined.

Kazama Etsu leaned against the pillows and sat up to instruct Hairi on her training.

He was moved by Hui Li's reasons for becoming stronger.

In order to have the power to protect themselves when disaster strikes, and to put their minds at ease, they desperately cultivate to become stronger.

If Hui Li were in the same position he was in back then.

Even if she fails, she probably won't have any regrets, because she has already given it her all.

"Changes in form can be observed using the method of observing objects."

Kazama Koshi finally revealed the training method for changing form.

"Observation method?"

Hui Li nodded.

The name was concise and to the point, and she could basically guess the general meaning of the method.

Choose an object you want to imitate.

Observe and memorize every detail of the object from the outside in, constantly imitating it with chakra until every part, inside and out, is perfect; this is how one masters a form transformation.

"It's just one kind."

"You think."

Kazama Etsu watched as Hairi looked troubled, and chuckled inwardly.

To become the only all-around ninja in history, not to mention nature transformation, the sheer complexity of form transformations alone would be enough to give her a hard time.

The four most commonly used animal forms are: snake, bird, fish, and tiger.

The shapes of the implements are roughly: whip, needle, knife, and cannon.

There are even more imitations of natural scenery: Water Release - Great Waterfall Technique is a typical example.

No matter how strong your ninja skills are, this kind of transformation requires years of practice and memorization; it's impossible to successfully simulate it without long-term observation and memorization.

This has nothing to do with qualifications anymore.

"If you find the morphological changes troublesome, you can skip learning them."

Go learn ninjutsu that others have developed. Each ninjutsu has thirty or forty hand seals. Follow the formula. Although it is slow and clumsy to use, it is actually quite good because you don't have to use your brain.

"But your talent for Water Release without seals will probably be wasted."

Kazama started to become sarcastic and unsettling.

Hui Li was not angry when she heard this.

You beat someone so badly they broke a bone and were hospitalized. It's already good enough that they can forgive you and teach you a lesson. What's wrong with saying a few hurtful things?

Moreover, she didn't find the shape change particularly difficult.

The Byakugan's ability to see through objects and its chakra manipulation are undeniable. Isn't the method of observing the form changes of chakra a perfect fit for its profession?
"Kazama-sensei, could you demonstrate your ninjutsu again?"

Kazama Kotsu was taken aback: "What ninjutsu?"

"The wind snake roams."

Kazama Eshi shook his head:

"The Wind Snake's Movement may seem inconspicuous, but its transformations are actually quite complex. You should start by learning the basics. Go to the market, buy a snake, and observe its movements and do some dissections in your spare time..."

"I understand the logic, I just want to give it a try."

Seeing that Hui Li was still insisting, Kazama Yue frowned. Why couldn't this child listen to reason?

Forget it.

Geniuses are always arrogant.

It's hard to teach a person by teaching them, but it's easy to teach them by teaching them something.

When she couldn't learn it no matter how she practiced, she learned to buy physical practice objects from the market.

Kazama quickly formed hand seals, and the meridians on both sides of Gray Glass's eye sockets swelled even more.

high speed.

It's three to four times faster than Gray Glass's hand seals. And it's not just the speed of hand seals that's faster; for ninjutsu specialists, the hand seals for many ninjutsu have been simplified to almost nothing.

With just a few hand seals, Kazama had gathered Wind Release chakra from the complex wind serpent formation.

In the blink of an eye, the ninjutsu was basically complete.

In some respects, it is already very close to the state of no-seal ninjutsu.

This kind of ninjutsu, which omits a large number of hand seals and has a high degree of shape transformation, would be difficult for even the Sharingan to imitate!

An invisible breeze blew again.

The curtains swayed.

The wind serpent, its tongue flicking, snaked and crawled through the air. Its sharp wind blasts seemed to cut through the air itself, creating accordion-like ripples in space.

Roll your eyes!

'Water Release: Gray Glass' stared intently at the Wind Serpent, his eye power imprinting the Wind Serpent's internal and external structure into his mind.

Wow...

The sound of flowing water appeared in the room, and the ugly 'water bar' surged and took shape in 'Water Release: Gray Glass's' palm.

Kazama Koshi manipulated the wind serpent to crawl and bite.

It fully displays the ultimate charm of form transformation.

To simplify the hand seals for the Wind Serpent's Journey, he scoured the flower and bird markets of Konoha and spent more than two months in the wild before finally completing his training in the serpent's form transformation.

The results were also very encouraging.

He reduced the original thirty-six hand seals to only twelve, and then simplified them again due to changes in the nature of his cultivation, ultimately leaving only three seals.

For pure ninjutsu-type ninjas.

Faced with the high-speed attacks of taijutsu-type Jonin, only highly proficient ninjutsu that relies purely on muscle memory can be effective in battle.

This is a lesson that Kazama Koshi learned through shared blood and tears.

The water snake in 'Water Release: Gray Glass's' hand gradually took shape.

It quickly became quite presentable.

It seems to be no different from the Wind Serpent in general.

Kazama Etsu nodded secretly.

She truly deserves to be called a genius girl who possesses Jonin-level strength at the age of six.

In just a few minutes, they were able to make it look quite presentable, which surpasses 90% of beginners.

It took him three whole days to achieve what he did back then.

But physical resemblance is far from enough.

The most difficult part is actually the internal structure.

When animals are alive, their internal structures are difficult to observe. Dissection can only provide a rough estimate of their state during movement, and cannot provide complete observation.

It was this step that stumped him for over two months before he finally figured it out.

Hui Li's aptitude should be stronger than his, but this step requires a spark of inspiration, filling in the gaps in the unknown with the brain, not just physical talent.

Hopefully she won't be too disappointed if she doesn't finish practicing in a while.

Thinking of Hui Li's failed appearance, Kazama Etsu's lips curled up slightly at a 21-degree angle.

He had even prepared his sarcastic remarks.

You dare say my physical skills are terrible?

Hiss!

Just as Kazama was lost in his fantasy, a familiar sound suddenly came from inside the room.

Ok?
What's going on?
Kazama Etsu snapped out of his reverie and took a closer look.

On the palm of 'Water Release: Gray Glass', a water snake with its tongue flicking snake snaked and crawled along her arm, its flowing body like transparent jade.

Muscles twitch, scales intertwine.

The water snake swam freely on Gray Glass's body without wetting his clothes in the slightest, demonstrating its superb control.

"It's...it's done!?"

Looking at the transparent water snake on Hui Li's body, which was identical to his own wind snake.

Kazama felt as if the sky had fallen.
