Chapter – 22: Knowledge is Money

[Rei POV]

'A. I chip, make a backup file before deleting all personal memories, and start data transfer!'

[Beep! Initiating data transfer, Estimated time remaining: 8h 32m 19s]

I lost consciousness again after hearing the alert. Even though I knew the data is huge, I didn't think I would lose consciousness.

The next morning when I woke up, my head felt really heavy, like someone has strapped a ton of weight onto my head. It was so unbearable that I had to lie down again.

As I couldn't get up, I simply lie down and start to analyze the new set of memories stuffed into my brain. There were memories of childhood, academy days, Genin days with Hiruzen, and many many more.

I couldn't help but marvel at the Parasite's ability to read the host's memory. It was so impeccable that it must have scanned memories that even the host has forgotten.

'A. I chip, why was the parasite able to read these many memories?' I ask because as a scientist I know the human brain has short-term and long-term memories. And all humans are prone to forget minor details, that is how our brain is built. But it seemed like there weren't any missing pieces in these memories at all. It even had the memories of all the failed attempts of mastering jutsus in extreme detail.

[Beep! The parasite attaches itself to the soul of the host like the A. I chip. The memories scanned by it are the records inside the host's soul and not inside the host's brain.]

'So, the memories can be classified into soul memories and body's memories. That explains why I could think of my life's every single detail when I was stuck inside that void. I was looking at my soul's memories. And it seems the records of each event that the soul experiences are eternally etched onto it. Without forgetting a single detail.'

It took me the whole day just to organize them. That was a huge amount of information to sort through.

There are many sets of memories that are greatly attractive to me. The first is obviously the Medical-ninjutsu as Tsunade is deemed the best in the world for this. She also recently perfected her Strength of a Hundred Seal. Next will be the Ninjutsu and Taijutsu. And lastly, Fuinjutsu. With Uzumaki Mito as her grandmother, how could she not be good at Fuinjutsu?

Among all these, I had ways of getting my hands on all others except Uzumaki Fuinjutsu. For that either I had to wait for a long time or risk exposing myself.

In Naruto world, Fuinjutsu is like a broken cheat. For any problem, if you can't find a solution anywhere else, the best place to start looking for would be here. Also, Fuinjutsu is like a huge money-making tool.

'With this, I can make some basic seals and sell them to gather funds for my experiments,' I grin, 'Initially I had hit a roadblock in my bloodline experiments, but now, I have many new ideas to try!'

'I have to start at the academy soon, but that is a waste of time for me as I already know way more than what they can teach. Is there any way for me to skip it? I don't want to graduate early, that's suicide as the Second Ninja War is in going on and the Third Ninja War will begin in a few years.' I ponder.

The shadow clone won't do, as it could disappear after taking a hit and I don't want to be caught using it.

'Isn't there the Blood Clone Jutsu, but I don't know how to use it…' but I remember something I haven't tried ever since I got the A. I chip. I don't know if this would work, but didn't Leylin simulate even high tier spells with the A. I chip? So, I decided to try it.

'A.I. Chip! Establish mission! With the Shadow Clone Jutsu as the foundation, begin simulating the model for Blood Clone Jutsu! Use any other supplementary sources required.'

[Mission establishing! Gathering information, beginning simulation….]

[Information sources: … Shadow Clone Jutsu, Water Clone Jutsu…. Simulation time: 46d 22h 37m 9s!]

'Yes! it is possible! Knowledge isn't just money, it's Power too!'

'It will be done just before my academy starts. I will attend the initiation ceremony and send the blood clone after that,' I decided.

Although I have memories of one of the Sannins stuffed in my brain, they still seem to be… how to say it… not mine! It's like just because I have watched a movie, that doesn't mean I will be able to use all the techniques of the protagonist. It just means I have the knowledge of how to use them, I still need to train to make them mine.

I am not starting on the Strength of Hundred seal yet. Obviously, I lack the required chakra control. Currently, I have completed the water walking exercise on cold water and just started it on warm water, which is supposed to be even harder.

Also, I have found many ways to strengthen my body by using chakra in Tsunade's memories. Even though it might not be as good as using the Strength of Hundred seal, it's a good start. Therefore, I have included this in my Saitama training as they both supplement each other.

'I have to quickly make a few weight seals, it will be too inefficient to increase the number of push-ups, etc…' I think.
