Chapter 109 Second Divine Skill, Space-Time Version of Spirit Transformation Technique
"Kushina, I'm about to use a spiritification technique. Use Kagura's Mind's Eye to conduct an experiment for me."
"it is good."
After the sensory training ended, Gojo Yoru did not return to Konoha with Uzumaki Kushina, but instead teleported to a cave.
Inside the cave, there were not only the two of them; an unconscious ninja was also lying on the ground.
Gojo Yoru first formed hand seals, fully releasing his spatial perception. Finding no White Zetsu clones around, he said to Uzumaki Kushina, "Have you memorized my chakra aura?"
"Uh-huh----"
Kushina Uzumaki nodded repeatedly.
Throughout the entire Hidden Leaf Village, no one was more familiar with Gojou Yoru's chakra aura than she was.
This is why Kushina Uzumaki immediately waited for Gojo Yoru at the entrance of the Hokage Building as soon as he returned to Konoha.
"very good."
Gojo Yoru pointed at the ninja on the ground and continued, "Then remember this guy's chakra aura. I'll possess his body later, and you can observe the chakra aura within him to see if there are any changes."
"OK.""
Kushina Uzumaki immediately used Kagura's Mind's Eye to sense the ninja's chakra aura.
When Kushina Uzumaki opened her eyes and nodded, Yoru Gojo immediately sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and formed a hand seal with his hands.
From Kushina's perspective, a spirit that looked exactly like Yoru Gojo's body, even with clothes, emerged from the top of the body and floated in the air.
Gojo Yoru felt his vision suddenly rise a notch, and he saw himself sitting cross-legged on the ground, the unconscious ninja lying on the ground, and Uzumaki Kushina whose face suddenly turned deathly pale.
Not only that, Gojo Yoru could also see the chakra within the ninja and Kushina Uzumaki, and could sense their chakra aura.
Without needing to form hand seals, Gojo could sense energy fluctuations from all directions, with a range more than ten times that of usual.
This is one of the characteristics of the Super S-Rank Yin Release Secret Technique.
This was also the first time Gojo Yoru had used the Spirit Transformation Technique. A few days ago, after he sensed that his spiritual energy and physical energy could be perfectly separated, he knew that he had mastered the Spirit Transformation Technique.
The only concern was that there might be a White Zetsu clone in Konoha, or a Black Zetsu who wasn't yet an incarnation of Madara Uchiha's will, watching him. There was a high probability that they could detect his spiritual state. In addition, developing spatial perception was even more important, which was why Gojo Yoru didn't use the Spirit Transformation Technique in Konoha.
Upon entering the spirit form for the first time, just based on the enhanced perception it provided, Gojo Yoru felt that the Spirit Transformation Technique was worthy of being a super S-rank ultimate ninjutsu.
The Impure World Reincarnation Technique and the Eight Gates Formation can be mastered quickly by finding a talented genius with the right aptitude; even the most skilled can only achieve an S-level level of training difficulty.
Only the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Spirit Transformation Technique, these two super S-rank secret techniques, are practically selective in their application.
Needless to say, the Flying Thunder God Technique is a different story. The cultivation requirements for the Spirit Transformation Technique are not only to have the required spiritual energy and Yin Release chakra, but also to have Yin Release talent of equal value. It takes many years of training to barely get the basics down.
To master it as quickly as Gojo Yoru, one needs to possess the pinnacle of chakra control in the ninja world, and the training conditions are just as demanding as those for the Flying Thunder God Technique.
If Gojo Yoru's chakra is currently only at the level of a seasoned Chunin, even if he completes his second evolution, he still won't be able to master the Spirit Transformation Technique.
Because his spiritual energy and Yin Release chakra are not yet strong enough to condense a spirit body and separate it from his physical body.
Just like Rock Lee was able to open the fifth gate of the Eight Gates at the age of twelve, but could only open the sixth gate at the age of sixteen.
Unless one is a super genius, the art of spirit transformation has a bottleneck that can only be broken through upon reaching adulthood.
Only an adult body and mind can support them in withstanding the side effects of breaking through this bottleneck.
This is also why many ninjutsu techniques are listed as forbidden techniques; practicing them casually can easily lead to life-threatening situations.
Just as Gojo Yoru was about to assess his spiritual state before possessing another body, he suddenly heard Kushina Uzumaki's panicked voice in his ear: "Yoru, did you successfully cast the spell? Why has all the chakra in your body disappeared?"
"The chakra has disappeared?"
Gojo Yoru raised an eyebrow, looking at his own body with a puzzled expression.
The next second, a hint of surprise flashed in Gojo Yoru's eyes: "What's going on?"
Having not noticed it before, Gojo Yoru now realizes that, from the perspective of his spirit form, his body shows absolutely no energy fluctuations.
It was as if this was not Gojo Yoru's body, but a corpse.
This is very wrong.
Just like ninjas who use the Five Elements Release techniques to transform chakra into the five elements, Yin Release and Yang Release, as hidden attributes, are special but also involve transforming chakra into different elements.
Genjutsu ninjas, for example, transform chakra into invisible Yin Release chakra, but this is merely a change in the nature of a portion of the chakra used in the technique.
The art of spiritualization is no exception.
Furthermore, the Spirit Transformation Technique requires leaving chakra within the body, which facilitates locating the source and returning to the physical body.
This is also why Kato Dan in the original story was found and killed by the enemy.
If the body becomes a corpse, then the art of spiritualization is invincible, which means that the body can be sealed inside a storage scroll.
But now, neither Kushina Uzumaki nor Yoru Gojo's spirit could sense any energy fluctuations from his body.
Gojo Yoru was quite certain that he had left chakra within his body and had not used space-time chakra when he used the Spirit Transformation Technique.
Forget about possessing the body to conduct experiments, Gojo Yoru quickly returned to his original form.
As soon as Gojo Yoru opened his eyes, he saw Uzumaki Kushina approaching him, asking with a worried expression, "Yoru, are you alright? Did the spell fail just now?"
"No, my technique was very successful." Gojo Yoru shook his head, then asked, "Kushina, you said my chakra was completely gone. What do you mean by that?"
Kushina Uzumaki answered truthfully, "I was using Kagura's Mind's Eye the whole time, and then I saw your chakra disappear in an instant. Not only your chakra, but even your life force disappeared, it was like—like you were dead."
Although she knew it was very unlucky, Kushina Uzumaki still said the last sentence.
Upon hearing this, Gojo Yoru fell into deep thought.
He never knew that Mito Uzumaki could also barely see his space-time chakra.
Yoru Gojo was not surprised that Kushina Uzumaki could not sense the spacetime chakra; this was a perception shield from a higher dimension.
But it's a bit strange that even the last bit of chakra and the body's energy fluctuations can't be sensed.
Could it be that after his spirit leaves his body, the spacetime chakra automatically helps him conceal his presence?
Only by becoming ethereal can one conceal all traces of their presence.
So, Gojo Yoru said to Kushina Uzumaki, "Kushina, I'll use the Spirit Transformation Technique one more time. After you sense my chakra disappearing, touch my body and see if it has merged into the space."
"it is good."
Upon learning that Gojo Yoru's spell had not failed, Kushina Uzumaki was no longer alarmed.
When Gojo Yoru formed hand seals again to cast the Spirit Transformation Technique, and sensed that his chakra had disappeared, Uzumaki Kushina reached out and gently touched his body.
The scene of a hand passing through his body did not appear; instead, Kushina Uzumaki's hand landed solidly on Yoru Gojo.
"what?"
As if sensing something, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but show a curious expression: "Even though the chakra and energy fluctuations have disappeared, how come my body still has a temperature?"
"No body temperature, that means he's dead." Gojo Yoru opened his eyes, speechless.
"Yoru, what's going on? Could this be the Spirit Transformation Technique?" Kushina Uzumaki stared intently at Yoru Gojo.
"Don't bother me yet. Go check on that guy's condition and don't let him wake up." Gojo Yoru waved his hand and fell into deep thought again.
This unique quality, different from Kato Dan's, allowed Gojo Yoru to receive a second boost to his talent and even enhance his mental agility. A flash of inspiration then appeared in his mind.
This uniqueness may be complicated, or it may offer a lot of room for maneuver.
He may have seriously underestimated the power of spiritualization.
This super S-rank Yin Release technique, for someone with a space-time bloodline limit, might not only be used to develop spatial perception. He could also use its ability to perfectly separate spiritual energy from physical energy to do much more.
As Gojo Yoru had this thought, the inspiration in his mind grew stronger and stronger, seemingly drawing closer to him.
Suddenly, Gojo Yoru remembered an experiment that had long been relegated to some corner due to countless failures.
This experiment is called Space-Time Escape: Shadow Clone.
After merging ordinary chakra with space-time chakra, Gojo Yoru's first instinct was not to develop the Phantom Body Flicker Technique, but to use it to perform the Shadow Clone Technique.
The chakra that was mixed together successfully created a physical form, but the shadow clone had no independent consciousness, and its body would twist and flicker from time to time, like a screen with a distorted display.
This problem remained unsolved even after Gojo Yoru completed his second evolution and reached the pinnacle of chakra control in the ninja world.
Gojo Yoru thought that the spacetime power within him possessed a unique characteristic, which only his main body could use, and that his shadow clones could not share it, which was why they did not have independent consciousness.
Now that I think about it carefully, if such a characteristic really exists, then mixed chakra shouldn't be able to create a physical entity.
After all, Gojo Yoru's true form can only release its power outside its body by covering its ninjutsu with spacetime power.
Simply releasing space-time chakra is something even Gojo Yoru's second stage cannot achieve.
All other external ninjutsu techniques succeeded, so why did the "Space-Time Shadow Clone Technique" fail?
It now appears that it's not the power of spacetime that possesses the unique characteristic, but rather that Gojo Yoru—is not qualified enough.
The Space-Time Shadow Clone Technique is missing a crucial element, something that even the second stage of Gojo Yoru couldn't fill.
If Gojo Yoru can master the art of spirit transformation, he might be able to fill this crucial gap.
Even if it doesn't work now, it will definitely work in three stages.
At that moment, Gojo Yoru became even more determined.
The third evolution is definitely a watershed moment on the "ladder to godhood".
"The Yin Seal - Release!"
Temporarily abandoning the idea of restarting the "Space-Time Shadow Clone" experiment, Gojo Yoru suddenly unlocked the double Yin Seal again, using the full power micro-adjustment of the Yin Seal to enhance his body's functions to the optimal state.
In this state, Gojo Yoru is like someone who has opened the first gate of the Eight Gates, able to achieve 100% control over both types of chakra.
"call----"
Taking a deep breath, Gojo Yoru suddenly formed another hand seal.
However, this time, after Gojo Yoru's chakra was transformed into Yin Release chakra, it did not immediately condense into a spirit body and leave its physical body, but seemed to be waiting for something.
Soon, the space-time chakra, which was separate from ordinary chakra, surged into the brain through the meridians under the multitasking control of Gojou Yoru, and merged with the Yin Release chakra.
With the interference of external forces, Gojo Yoru's spirit was unable to emerge from her body for a long time, as if it had fallen into darkness.
It wasn't until the subtle adjustments of the double Yin seal intervened that Gojo Yoru's spirit saw a ray of white light in the darkness.
The spirit, lost in the darkness, rushed directly toward the ray of white light without the slightest hesitation.
As the white light grew larger, the darkness that Gojou Yoru had kept her eyes tightly shut was suddenly torn apart.
As their view rose higher, Gojo Yoru saw the familiar cave and the three figures.
Gojo Yoru immediately examined her spiritual state, then a slight smile appeared on her lips: "Success."
In ordinary spiritification techniques, the spirit body is transparent and white, with its own sensory shielding, so even Edo Tensei Madara's Rinnegan cannot see it, and can only vaguely sense that something is nearby.
At that time, Madara Uchiha's strength was still at the Kage level, and he had not yet become a being of a higher dimension.
Even Madara Uchiha, at this level, could vaguely sense it, so the Spirit Transformation Technique must be completely ineffective against the perception of a Six Paths level being.
Gojo Yoru was absolutely certain that once Uchiha Madara was resurrected and retrieved the Rinnegan, as the true master of the Rinnegan, he would definitely be able to see the spirits of the Spirit Transformation Technique.
Even after Nagato mastered the Six Paths Technique, he might still be able to see the spirits created by the Spirit Transformation Technique.
After all, the most basic human path of the Rinnegan is to extract the enemy's soul.
Just like the Rinnegan's exclusive eye techniques and the ability to summon the Gedo Mazo, the Rinnegan resurrected through Edo Tensei is merely a fake eye; some of its abilities require the real eye to be used.
Human Path is the absolute nemesis of Spirit Transformation Technique, and even Gojo Yoru is extremely wary of it.
But now, Gojo Yoru is completely unfazed.
Perhaps the true Rinnegan can still see his spirit, but the power of the human realm is absolutely unable to restrain him.
Because—Gojo Yoru's spirit underwent a strange change.
The spirit of Gojou Yoru was no longer transparent white, but transparent black.
His spiritification technique had suddenly transformed into the Space-Time Escape Spiritification Technique.
As the eighth special attribute that does not belong to Yin Yang and the Five Elements, the power of space-time is a versatile existence. As long as your chakra control is up to standard, you can cover any attribute of ninjutsu.
The Rasengan, which has no attribute, is like this; the Five Elements Release techniques are like this; and the Yin-Yang attributes are also like this.
Although the power of spacetime is being consumed every second, before the spacetime chakra is completely exhausted, Gojou Yoru's spacetime spirit body is in an absolutely invincible state, just like using intangibility. Even abilities targeting the soul cannot harm him in the slightest. His already powerful sensory shielding is instantly elevated to a higher dimension, and perhaps only the ultimate eye technique can see him.
Unfortunately, assassinations using the Spirit Transformation Technique are a contest of spiritual energy and Yin Release chakra; otherwise, Gojo Yoru would be the most unbeatable assassin in the ninja world right now.
It's unclear whether space-time chakra can be used in the mental space. If it can, it means that before the space-time chakra is exhausted, Gojo Yoru's spirit can use space-time abilities in the enemy's mental space.
In that case, Gojo Yoru might be able to help Kushina Uzumaki tame the Nine-Tails ahead of schedule.
More importantly, even if Gojo Yoru is targeted by the Sage of Six Paths in his soul form, he can remain fearless for a short period of time against this true god of ninjas who can travel between the real world and the Pure Land.
Even Gojo Yoru can travel from the real world to the Pure Land.
These thoughts flashed through Gojou Yoru's mind, and his eyes were filled with shock.
Feasible — very feasible, but he is not qualified at this stage.
Just like the Yin Seal is to Gojo Yoru it's practically a divine technique of pure Otsutsuki blood, or even a divine technique more powerful than a divine technique.
At this moment, in Gojo Yoru's eyes, the Spirit Transformation Technique was his second divine skill.
"what?"
Quickly calming himself down, Gojo Yoru was about to examine his physical body to see if he, in his space-time spirit form, could see the energy fluctuations within it this time.
Suddenly, as if sensing something, Gojo Yoru's gaze shifted to Uzumaki Kushina, and a look of intense surprise flashed in his eyes.
Within Gojou's perception, Kushina Uzumaki's internal energy of art was clearly visible.
The vortex clan possesses powerful life force and energy bars, along with two unfamiliar energy bars within its body.
One is a vast, ocean-like Nine-Tails Chakra, while the other is a small yet extremely strong chakra seal, resembling the thin film on the surface of a Rasengan.
On this energy bar, Gojo Yoru also sensed the aura of an unfamiliar energy bar.
Although he didn't yet have that level of artistic perception, Gojo Yoru was very certain that this was Mito Uzumaki's artistic talent.
"Does she have more of Ryouma's perceptive abilities?" Gojo Yoru muttered to himself, his gaze not fixed on Uzumaki Kushina's abdomen, but on the soap on her wrist.
From the perspective of the five night artists, the wrist soap of Kushina Uzumaki has two different colored geisha carats, one blue and one black.
Blue Art is a bracelet engraved on the wrist, with an Ouroboros pattern. This is the standard version of the Flying Thunder God technique.
The black part is inside the kimono sleeve, attached to the garment as part of the Technique of Space-Time Escape: Flying Thunder God Technique.
The next second, five Yogi spirits suddenly appeared beside Uzumaki Kushina without warning.
The transparent black art spirit body instantly lost some of its black color, and was quickly covered by other black colors, but the overall art color was no longer so intense.
Qiao, with his hands forming a hand seal in front of him, maintained a Kagura-like gaze while monitoring the unconscious ninja, Uzumaki Kushina. If it weren't for the lack of physical skills, Gojo Yoru would have liked to cup her face and kiss her hard to express his joy.
In her current state as a spirit, Shi Lingjian is even able to use the Flying Thunder God Technique.
What does this mean?
This means that Gojo Yoru's ability to protect himself will be greatly enhanced.
As long as enough Art Time Bars are retained, his Art Spirit Body can almost instantly return to his physical body.
When going to find Xiao Nanyi, there's no need to risk your main body going to her vicinity, increasing the chances of being discovered by Hei Bai Jue, while also requiring a long flight time.
Gojo Yoru only needs to teleport continuously to instantly appear next to Minami and possess her body at the speed of Toki-rei-ma-gi.
In addition, with the high-dimensional perception shield, no one can detect that he has possessed someone.
If it weren't for her cautious personality and the fact that she hadn't yet undergone any artistic training, Gojo Yoru would have wanted to try it immediately.
