━━━━

Looking at my status on my book page, what surprised me was not how much I had improved in the past few days, but the fact that, when the Asauchi reached 51%, a new attribute was unlocked, and my talent increased once again.

"If I had known this would happen, I would have spent more time training with the Asauchi. My main focus was to improve new jutsus and, indirectly, improve basic jutsus by trying to reach 100% with them," I thought.

The question was: how to increase my spiritual power? Would it be something like the natural energy of this world?

No, it can't be... The concept of each one is different. While natural energy is the energy that can be collected from the atmosphere and the earth, spiritual energy refers to the power that arises from the user's spiritual sensitivity and willpower.

From what I understood by reading the explanation of Spiritual Power on my page now, there is a singularity with chakra.

For example:

Reiryoku (Spiritual Power): Can be increased through spiritual training, intense battles, meditation, and unleashing the power of the Zanpakutou.

Chakra: Can be enhanced through physical and mental training, meditation, chakra control, and unlocking additional chakra reserves, like Kyubi's chakra in Naruto's case.

Even though they are similar, they are essentially different. Understanding this, I knew that if I wanted to increase my Spiritual Power, I couldn't do it in the same way I increase my chakra.

"Although it's a bit more challenging to increase another power network, this is interesting..." I thought with a small smile.

Another thing, although this new attribute has a very low limit, it also makes it easier to reach the maximum and break the limit with the silver hammer I currently possess.

"By the way, if I buy another Asauchi, will I be able to use it on myself again?" This question came to me with great interest.

In the worst case, I will have to give an Asauchi to someone...

As for who, I have several on the list that would fit. However, for now, I will try to use it on myself before deciding whether or not to give an Asauchi to someone else.

"I was going to wait until tomorrow, but..." I murmured, going to the shop page in the book and soon buying an Asauchi for 250 coins.

The moment I made the purchase, an Asauchi identical to the sword that appeared the first time floated in the air. I grabbed it with my left hand while looking at the book and saw that the value of the Asauchi changed to 500 weekly coins.

"That value... It's basically the amount I would earn in a week, and if it doubles again, it would be practically impossible to get that amount of coins in a week," I thought.

'That amount... It's basically what I would earn in a week, and if it doubles again, it would be practically impossible to get that many coins in a week,' I thought.

I placed the sword on the ground, performed hand seals, and created a lightning clone. I watched the clone pick up the Asauchi from the ground and attempt to pierce my chest with it, but something seemed to block the blade, as if an invisible barrier was preventing the Asauchi from piercing my body.

"In the end, it seems there's no way for me to have two Asauchi..." I sighed.

Fortunately, the Asauchi could be stored in the book's inventory for 2 months, so I had time to think about whom to use it on.

"It might be a good idea to give it to Yakumo," I murmured softly.

She was still limited by the attributes that had reached their maximum. Although I could break her limits, puberty would naturally expand those limiters. However, using the Asauchi could also increase her loyalty to me...

Even though I didn't think it was necessary, it would be best if all her attributes increased, and there was a possibility of improving her talent.

"Well, I'll wait at least a week before deciding what to do."

Muttering these words, I stopped thinking about it for the time being and returned to training.

Since Kumo didn't need to do physical training, I was alone in the dojo again, and after lunch, I planned to go to the training area to practice the other jutsus in an open area.

Before returning to training, I spent 100 coins to buy two fusion talismans.

I used the first talisman to fuse Lightning Style with Wind Style, resulting in Speed Style, also known in the anime as Swift Release.

Then, I used the second talisman to create the Yin-Yang talisman.

"Alright, let's try..." I murmured.

This time, the talismans were of medium grade.

With my confirmation, the two talismans floated in front of me, intertwining, spinning around each other, and creating sparks around. They soon disappeared in a flash of light and, seconds later, reappeared...

"I failed..." I murmured, but I wasn't disappointed, as it was just a test.

Although it was a 'failure,' as it resulted in the creation of another talisman instead of me acquiring a new special characteristic, one thing I noticed this time was the speed of the creation. And, although the result wasn't what I expected, the fusion of these talismans was a pleasant surprise:

[Punishment Lightning]: Concentrates a massive amount of black lightning and, when launched, results in a massive explosion that causes extensive damage over a large area and destabilizes the enemies' chakra.

It was something incredible, even though it could only be used once. On the other hand, the validity of this talisman is 6 months, which serves as some consolation for being single-use.

'If I could make this a special characteristic...'

This simple thought fueled a great desire to make this something that belonged to me. Not something single-use.

'No matter how long it takes, I will achieve it,' I thought.

Anyway, now I had something powerful in my arsenal if necessary...

━━━━

Please, don't forget to drop at least 1 Power Stone, it motivates me a lot!
