The Shadow of Konoha

"Human meridian map, what do you want that for?" Before leaving the ward, Koga did not expect Hanyu to suddenly make such a request.

"Nothing, I just want to research something. Anyway, I have nothing else to do here, so I might as well kill time... I have been a ninja for a short time. As an ambitious person, I should take the opportunity to supplement my basic understanding of ninjas and related basic knowledge." Hanyu said. Because of the other party's unintentional reminder, he suddenly had a special idea about the application of Lightning Release.

Hanyu's idea is bold, but whether it will succeed is another matter. Experimentation is inevitable, and the first step is to gain a better understanding of the ninja's body.

"The medical ninjas shouldn't be short of that kind of stuff, right?"

The meridian map is definitely not a rare item that needs to be kept secret, but Koga has never heard of anyone relying on studying the human meridian map to kill time. He looked at Hanyu hesitantly and then said, "I can indeed find the meridian map, but... you won't cause any trouble, right?"

"How could that be? I just want to learn more about the issue of chakra flow." Hanyu had no choice but to explain.

But in fact, what he wanted to say was "I am a little confident in mixed ninjutsu", but he was afraid that the other party would turn around and leave after saying this.

"That's no problem. I'll ask someone to send the things to you later." Hearing Hanyu say this, Koga felt relieved. Besides, his quick and eager to learn attitude was worthy of praise.

In terms of personality, Hanyu is not the kind of person who likes to make trouble. However, what Koga doesn't know is that people who don't make trouble are often not human when they do.

Koga turned and left. Soon, someone brought the meridian map that Hanyu wanted, along with a handwritten research record on the flow of chakras.

Buy one get one free? This was something Hanyu had not expected. He first hung the meridian map on the head of his bed and was not in a hurry to study anything. Instead, he started to look through the notebook.

This thing should be the product of some basic research done by medical ninjas, and it is very likely from Koga's hand... In fact, he guessed correctly. Part of this material was indeed the result of Koga's research, but what Hanyu got was not the original, but just a copy.

What Hanyu didn't expect was that after just a few glances, he was immersed in the knowledge and read it carefully.

On the other side, Sakumo, who had already started receiving intravenous nutrient solution, saw Hanyu studying so seriously and came over curiously to take a few glances, but within two minutes, he was persuaded to give up.

After all, Hatake Sakumo still has the common characteristics of children of his age. He is not like Orochimaru. How could he be patient enough to read such boring research materials in Hanyu's hands?

This research document is not thick, and Hanyu finished reading it in less than an hour. Contrary to its limited thickness, the viewpoints above are profound and explain the principles of chakra extraction and basic operation very thoroughly, which made Hanyu feel as if he had suddenly realized something... It is a very valuable document.

Strictly speaking, some of it is very valuable. This information is divided into two parts, the upper part is called "Chakra's operation in meridians and acupoints", and the lower part is called "Chakra's nature changes, mutual restraint, practice and application principles". What really benefited Hanyu was the first half, and as for the second half, it was just average, and he even felt that it was all useless nonsense.

Hanyu put the second half of the research material aside, and then read the first half over and over again. After making sure that all the knowledge above was accurately memorized in his mind, he raised his head and turned his gaze to the meridian map he wanted.

Compared with the unexpected value of research materials, the meridian map is just a reference.

"You know, there are more than 300 acupuncture points on the human body, and they can't be protected..." Looking at the meridian map and the densely marked acupuncture points on the meridians, Hanyu whispered to himself. He was not talking to anyone, but just said this line at this time.

But Hatake Sakumo, who was standing by, thought that Hanyu was talking to him, so he responded, "Yes, that's true, so the Hyuga clan's soft fist technique is unique in the ninja world."

"Yes, unrivaled in the ninja world." Hanyu turned his head and glanced at Hatake, without saying anything more, he turned back and immersed himself in the meridian map which was nothing special.

His bright eyes startled Sakumo, who had known Hanyu for quite some time , but had never seen such a curious look in him... Hanyu was a calm person, to put it nicely, but a bit gloomy. But Hanyu at this moment was completely different.

Is a meridian map really that beautiful?

Unlike actual tissues and organs such as blood vessels, "meridians" are a kind of "energy pathways" that do not exist on the physical level. Since the Six Paths Sage founded the Ninshu Sect, the chakra in every ninja's body has been circulated according to this pathway.

Ninjas use hand seals to guide the flow of chakra in the meridians, or change its properties to release jutsu, or make special formations to release ninjutsu, or simply concentrate and strengthen the body to release physical techniques.

As for acupoints, they are special nodes on the meridians. Like meridians, acupoints do not exist physically. The difference is that acupoints have relatively precise locations on each person's body.

Meridians cannot be found, but although acupoints "do not exist", they can be "found". Even by stimulating special energy nodes in some special ways, powerful physical skills like "Eight Gates" can be born.

Although meridians are also drawn on the map, they are not easy to sense, but acupoints are different. In the sense of chakra, they have a more obvious "presence". It is precisely because of this special attribute that there are special physical techniques such as soft fist that specifically attack acupoints.

Hanyu slowly closed his eyes and carefully sensed the acupuncture points in his body, which were the "points" with strong chakra presence. Then, he let the impression of these points sink deeper into his consciousness.

Then, he began to form the seal with both hands to guide the water escape technique, but this time he was not going to release the escape technique externally. Instead, he tried to generate fine water escape technique with material characteristics within his body. After that, he would try to use water escape technique to connect those deeper "points".

At this point, Hanyu's thoughts were fully revealed - although his original and ultimate goal was to make full use of Lightning Release, what he tried to do was far more exaggerated and ambitious than his goal itself.

The ninja world has gone through countless years, and the techniques used by ninjas are already countless, but the circulation of chakra and the basis of casting techniques have never changed.

What Hanyu is trying to do is to subvert this foundation... No, the word "subvert" is a bit exaggerated, after all, Hanyu has not gone beyond that foundation; compared to subversion, what he is trying to do is nothing more than "refreshing". But even so, his ideas and practices are unprecedented:

He used his own meridians as a sample, the mirror images of the acupuncture points as punctuation, and water escape as a means to try to create a second set of (pseudo) meridians underneath the meridians.

The Sharingan is nothing but a false copy, which merely stays at the level of technique, while the true copy is to copy the foundation of the ninja.

Suddenly, Hanyu opened his eyes with a distorted expression. The first attempt failed as expected, but Hanyu was not discouraged. On the contrary, his eyes sparkled.

Because once his experiment succeeds, he will become the only one in the world, the only one in the ninja world...

Two-threaded ninja.
