Chapter 46 Instantaneous Movement
Chapter 46 Instantaneous Movement
"Next, you will learn the Body Flicker Technique."
Upon hearing the words "instantaneous movement," Sosuke's spirits lifted.
He had been waiting for this for a long time.
"Body Flicker Technique is a support ninjutsu."
Yuanzao pointed to his leg.
"Essentially, it involves instantly concentrating chakra in the soles of the feet and leg muscles. In an extremely short time, explosive force propels the body to move at high speed. Because the speed is so fast, it cannot be detected by the naked eye and appears as teleportation."
"But the ability to teleport also has risks. If you don't have fast enough reflexes and can't control the force, you might die from the impact."
Sosuke understood it very easily.
The speed of this instantaneous burst is several times that of normal. If the nerve conduction speed is not fast enough, it cannot be used freely, and may even injure oneself.
"Watch closely."
Yuanzao suddenly moved.
There were no hand seals, and even the fluctuations in chakra were extremely subtle.
Bang!
A fleeting shadow remained in place.
The next second, Yuanzao appeared on the top of another pile of garbage ten meters away.
Sosuke's pupils contracted sharply.
In that instant, Yuanzao's leg meridians were like a bowstring stretched to its limit.
Chakra does not flow smoothly, but rather erupts explosively.
This technique places a tremendous strain on the meridians in the legs.
Yuan Zao flashed back to his original position.
"You give it a try. Be careful not to kill yourself."
Sosuke took a deep breath.
"not yet."
He formed a hand seal.
This is the most basic hand seal, used to gather chakra.
He began to mobilize his chakra.
It's not the gentle kind of adsorption, but rather an explosive aggregation that mimics what Yuanzao just did.
His leg muscles began to tremble involuntarily, a sign of meridian overload.
Sosuke exerted his strength suddenly.
boom!
The mud beneath their feet instantly cracked open, creating a shallow pit.
He felt like a cannonball that had been fired.
The scenery before my eyes instantly stretched and distorted.
The gale cut across my cheeks like a knife.
Because of the speed, his mind went blank for a moment.
That's a manifestation of visual information processing speed not keeping up with the speed of body movement.
Bang!
Sosuke failed to stop at the designated spot and crashed hard into an abandoned boiler in the distance.
The steel emitted a dull rumble.
Sosuke slid to the ground, his chest heaving.
"Well……"
He spat out a mouthful of sour water.
"Be careful to control it."
Genzo opened a bottle of wine and looked at the disheveled Sousuke.
"Again."
Sosuke got up.
He didn't rush to try a second time.
He gently rubbed several key acupoints on his legs.
By stimulating these acupoints, the muscles can enter a state of "preparedness".
This is a flexible application of medical ninjutsu.
It's impossible to do this without understanding human anatomy.
Then, Sosuke formed the hand seals again.
The whole morning.
The sound of heavy objects colliding could be heard continuously from the waste treatment plant.
Sosuke repeatedly slammed into walls, iron buckets, and even mud pits.
He was covered in injuries.
My ribs are aching slightly, and I vomited up my breakfast a long time ago.
He still hasn't mastered this technique.
But it wasn't all for naught.
The principle behind the Body Flicker Technique is simple: a burst of chakra propels the body.
But the difficulty lies in inertia.
Once he gets going, the only way to stop is by using the friction between his feet and the ground.
But at that speed, the soles of the shoes were practically worn through, and the ankles were practically about to break.
Yuanzao, that old bastard, sat to the side, holding a wine bottle in his hand, his eyes full of mockery.
He was watching it like a headless fly bumping around aimlessly.
There was no notification.
There are no mnemonic devices.
He was just watching the show, seeing Sosuke bruise his shoulder and scrape his knee.
Sosuke then realized that his method must be wrong.
There must be another way to stop it.
But he did not ask about the source.
He knew the old drunkard's teaching style.
Since the other party did not proactively inform you, it means that you must figure out this method yourself to achieve the best results.
His thinking is exceptionally clear.
He began to analyze it seriously.
Why can't it stop?
Because of inertia.
The speed granted by the Instantaneous Movement Technique is too fast, far exceeding the physical limits that human muscles can control.
Trying to brake hard with your heels? I just tried that, it didn't work.
He looked at his feet.
The shoes on his feet were almost worn out, revealing his calloused feet.
Since it can't be controlled by the body, the only option is to rely on chakra; the answer is obvious. But how?
He recalled all his previous training sessions.
Climbing the wall.
tread water.
It climbs walls by adsorption.
Treading water relies on repulsion.
When the Body Flicker Technique is activated, it is also a repulsion—using the reaction force of chakra to propel the body away.
So when does it stop?
A flash of inspiration struck Sosuke.
If starting is "repulsion", then stopping should be "adsorption".
During his wall-climbing training, he once hung upside down on a 20-meter-high wall.
At that moment, gravity was pulling him down.
It was the chakra beneath his feet that held him firmly to the wall, defying gravity.
Inertia, in essence, is the same as gravity; both are forces that attempt to move the body away from its original position.
Since chakra can adhere to walls and resist gravity.
Why can't it stick to the ground and resist inertia?
Sosuke formed the hand seals again.
"not yet."
Chakra gathers at the soles of the feet.
break out.
boom!
Dirt flew everywhere. A body shot out. The wind howled.
Five meters ahead was a cement wall.
We must stop.
This time, Sosuke didn't stick his heel out to dig at the ground and use physical friction to slow down.
In the blink of an eye.
He changed the form of chakra.
It instantly switched from "repulsion" to "adsorption".
hum!
Sosuke's feet were like two powerful magnets, sticking to the ground.
The immense inertia continued to propel him forward, but his feet remained completely still.
Click.
Sosuke heard a cracking sound coming from his knee.
The forward momentum of the body was forcibly restrained.
His upper body lurched forward due to inertia, nearly breaking his lumbar spine.
But he stopped.
The nose was less than ten centimeters away from that rough cement wall.
You can even smell the fishy odor of the moss on the wall.
still.
Absolute stillness.
There was no impact.
A gust of wind blew, causing the dust on the wall to fall in a flurry.
"Huff... huff..."
Sosuke remained in that forward-leaning posture, cold sweat dripping down the tip of his nose.
The thigh muscles were spasming violently.
But he smiled.
He found a way.
Without using the "absorption" brake, the Instantaneous Movement Technique is a suicidal move.
Only by integrating wall-climbing training into the instantaneous movement technique can a complete movement skill be achieved.
He turned around and looked at Genzo.
Surprise appeared in Genzo's eyes.
He originally thought that the kid would need to fall for at least three more days before he could understand this principle.
After all, most genin only learn to respect inertia after countless broken bones.
But this kid...
He practices with his brain.
He is using his existing knowledge to solve unknown problems.
This is an extremely terrifying ability to make associations.
"Looks like you don't need me to teach you how to stop."
Sosuke turned around and rubbed his sore knees.
You should have told me sooner.
Yuan Zao sneered.
"If I tell you, you will subconsciously rely on my answer."
"But your body will only remember that feeling if you figure it out for yourself."
"That's called muscle memory."
"However, your understanding is not comprehensive enough."
"Not comprehensive enough?"
Sousuke seemed to realize something as well.
His knees and lumbar spine were aching slightly.
"You've solved the friction problem, but what about your body?"
Genzo pointed to Sousuke's waist.
"Inertia is fair."
"When you run, your whole body has the same kinetic energy."
"Even if you weld your feet to the ground and are lucky enough that your ankles don't break, your upper body will still be propelled forward."
"If you had gone any faster, you would have injured your knees and spine with that last strike."
Sosuke broke out in a cold sweat.
"What should we do then?"
"Slow down." This time, Genzo gave him the answer directly.
"At the moment of reaching the destination, release chakra in reverse to slow down."
"Then, I use chakra absorption to stabilize my body."
Sosuke suddenly realized that it was very simple.
"Give it a try."
Sosuke nodded.
This time, he didn't set a goal that was too far ahead.
It's only five meters.
That abandoned oil drum.
"not yet."
Chakra burst forth.
Bang!
The figure disappeared.
The wind had just started to blow when it suddenly stopped.
Sizzle—!!!
A piercing scraping sound.
That's chakra bursting out from the soles of his feet in the opposite direction, rubbing against the ground.
Sosuke stopped.
It was just ten centimeters in front of the oil drum.
But his feet were planted firmly on the ground.
"It has stopped."
Sosuke was panting heavily.
My thigh muscles were trembling violently; it was the tearing sensation caused by the reverse force.
"Well enough."
Yuan Zao commented.
"But this is just a straight line."
"There are no straight lines on the battlefield."
"Next, practice shuttle runs."
"Draw a triangle every five meters."
This is pure torture.
After an afternoon, Sosuke's shoes were finally ruined.
His soles were burning with pain; even with the protection of chakra, the intense friction from the high temperature almost caused his skin to peel off.
But he figured it out.
That feeling of momentarily stopping at high speed, and then exploding again.
It was like a ricocheting bullet.
Bang, sizzle, bang, sizzle.
His figure flickered in the garbage dump.
Although he can't yet reach the level of silence that Yuanzao possessed, at least he won't smash his head against a wall and die.
Until evening.
Sosuke collapsed to the ground.
His chakra was depleted.
This was the first time he had exhausted his chakra due to training.
The Body Flicker Technique is a major consumer of chakra.
"Let's go back."
Yuanzao glanced at the tattered shoes on the ground.
"Go buy a few pairs of good shoes with thick soles. Ordinary cloth shoes and straw sandals aren't durable."
Sousuke nodded.
His legs were trembling, and he could only get up.
Although it was a mess, it was worth it.
Having mastered the Instantaneous Movement Technique, his survival rate in this world will increase tenfold.
After all, if you can't win, you can always run away.
