Accelerate Cultivation

"Player, sorry, you haven't acquired any skills related to physical abilities. Would you like to check your cultivation progress?" "Sigh, I knew I was overthinking it!" From the moment he transmigrated, Yasuke's fantasies about his abilities were nothing more than three: the Sage Body, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, and the Rinnegan. Among these abilities, the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan and the Rinnegan need no introduction. The world of Naruto is known for relying heavily on eye techniques. Any ninja possessing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan or the Rinnegan is essentially on the path to invincibility. As for the Sage Body, casual Naruto fans might not know its benefits, but Yasuke, a seasoned Naruto fan, certainly did! To say nothing of the rest, what did Naruto rely on in the early stages of the series? Wasn't it the Sage Body, or rather, the Uzumaki Clan's constitution? With nearly limitless spiritual energy and physical energy contained within his body, a bit of training would grant him chakra comparable to that of a tailed beast. More importantly, the Uzumaki Clan's constitution was as resilient as "Little Strong," with an extraordinary life force. Naruto faced numerous dangers early on; without the Uzumaki Clan's constitution, he would have died at least twenty times over! If only he could have Naruto's constitution—or even half of it! Yasuke was confident that he could complete the Nara Clan's secret techniques before the age of five and surpass his contemporaries like Kakashi and Itachi without question! Unfortunately, since the APP had already prompted him, Yasuke knew that feeling disappointed was unnecessary. So, after that, Yasuke followed the APP's instructions step by step, figuring out how to use the APP, and first checked his cultivation progress. "Huh?" "Shadow Imitation Technique?" According to the APP's prompt, he pulled up his cultivation progress, and the first thing he saw was the familiar Shadow Imitation Technique, marked with a proficiency value of 30/100. "I thought I had mastered the Shadow Imitation Technique, but I haven't even reached a third of the progress." "Wait, didn't the APP say it could modify the progress of skills? Does that mean the Shadow Imitation Technique's progress can be modified?" With that thought, Yasuke quickly communicated with the APP and asked: "APP, can I modify the progress of my Shadow Imitation Technique?" "Player, the Shadow Imitation Technique is in the training stage and can be modified." "Great! Then I'll modify the Shadow Imitation Technique's progress to 100/100!" Ding! "Player, the Shadow Imitation Technique's progress is now 100/100. Congratulations on completing the Shadow Imitation Technique." Completed? The Shadow Imitation Technique, which he had barely grasped after three months of hard training, was completed just like that? As the APP's prompt echoed in his mind, Yasuke's eyes were filled with disbelief. He quickly restored his chakra, and after recovering, he formed hand seals targeting the reindeer in front of him! "Shadow Imitation Technique!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!" The moment he formed the hand seals, Yasuke felt the flow of chakra within him, but the scene before his eyes left him stunned once again! Because while performing the Shadow Imitation Technique, Yasuke clearly felt the changes in his chakra! It was a more perfect nature transformation; the chakra transformed into Yin Release chakra needed for the Shadow Imitation Technique without any loss. Moreover, as the nature transformation was completed, the shadow under Yasuke's feet quickly extended to the feet of several reindeer in front of him, connecting with their shadows. Next, with just a thought, the movements of those reindeer could change according to Yasuke's actions! "Did it really succeed? The APP didn't lie to me!" His newly restored chakra was depleted, and Yasuke felt his legs go numb, causing him to collapse on the ground. But his sweat-covered face was filled with an excited smile! In the original story, Shikamaru mastered the Shadow Imitation Technique at twelve, considered a genius. Yasuke mastering it at four surpassed Shikamaru among the Twelve Young Guardians. What did that make him? A monster? For the first time, Yasuke felt confident about surviving in a world filled with geniuses and Kage-level opponents. Even living in the same era as Kakashi and Itachi, knowing the terrifying bosses he would face in the future, with the APP in hand, Yasuke was confident he could control his destiny and live better than the original protagonists Naruto and Sasuke! Then, sitting on the ground, he restored his chakra again. Whether it was due to overusing the Shadow Imitation Technique or the APP's influence, Yasuke noticed that his chakra reserves had increased and become more refined after breaking through with the Shadow Imitation Technique. With the APP as a cheat tool and setting Kakashi and Itachi as his first targets to surpass, Yasuke found training to be extremely interesting and couldn't wait to start the next round of training. "Um" "The APP's effect of modifying training progress is great, but according to the APP's explanation, it seems I can only modify the progress of ninjutsu I'm currently training in. Like the Shadow Strangle Technique, which is an advanced ninjutsu of the Shadow Imitation Technique, I can't use the APP's modification effect to master it quickly because I haven't learned how to train it yet." "It seems that besides accumulating chakra, the only training I can do now is some basic training!" Thinking to himself, Yasuke decided on his upcoming training, which was to practice the basic control of chakra through tree climbing and water walking. Don't underestimate the basic tree climbing and water walking training. During the three months since he transmigrated, Yasuke had made a fool of himself countless times due to tree climbing training. Fortunately, Yasuke was smart enough to place a thick mat under the tree. Otherwise, after falling numerous times, his butt would have been bruised and swollen, preventing him from comfortably hiding in the reindeer farm to avoid attending one funeral after another! Moreover, when reading the manga, Yasuke thought that tree climbing and water walking training was nothing special. If an idiot like Naruto could master it in a few days, with the intelligence inherited from the Nara Clan, he should be able to complete the training as easily as Sakura did. Who would have thought that just the tree climbing training was far more challenging than Yasuke had imagined? He had to maintain a certain level of focus at all times; otherwise, he would lose control of his chakra or distribute it unevenly, resulting in him falling from the tree. Moreover, since his chakra reserves weren't very high, each tree climbing training session took a long time, and progress was slow. Over time, Yasuke decided to complete the Shadow Imitation Technique training first, and when his chakra reserves were comparable to a Genin, he would proceed with the tree climbing and water walking training. However, the sudden appearance of the APP, which completed the Shadow Imitation Technique training, gave Yasuke more confidence. Completing the tree climbing and water walking training became his next goal. Especially when his eyes fell on the training cards stored in the APP's space, seeing the Tree Climbing Training Card and the Water Walking Training Card floating in the space, Yasuke, who firmly believed in the quality of the APP's products, eagerly took out the Tree Climbing Training Card and instructed the APP: "APP, use the Tree Climbing Training Card!"
