Chapter 542: The Embryonic Form of Yin-Yang Release

Inside the Hokage Office, Naruto, who was slacking off, rubbed his slightly throbbing temples.

He closed his eyes and received the steady stream of memory fragments sent back from the Kamui Dimension.

Those were the experiences and insights of success or failure from over a thousand Shadow Clones attempting to achieve Kekkei Mora.

A massive stream of information washed over his brain, most of which consisted of tedious repetitions, the pain of failure, and ’firework’ memories of various Chakra attribute conflicts exploding.

However, amidst this chaotic stream of information, a memory fragment carrying strong emotions of smugness and’showing off’ stood out exceptionally.

It was precisely the experience of that Shadow Clone who had developed ’Yang Release: Healing Creation’.

Naruto’saw’ that Shadow Clone dancing with joy as he demonstrated the Rebirth of a severed finger, heard him smugly declaring the ’Main Body is a layman,’ and even solemnly adding the prefix ’Yang Release’ to this technique...

"Tsk..."

Naruto couldn’t help but click his tongue, a face that was both annoyed and amused showing on his expression. He helplessly grumbled to the empty office, "Just which Clone started calling me a layman first? How did it even spread like a virus?"

He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery of Hidden Leaf Village outside, while his mind rapidly analyzed the essence of that technique.

"The core of Medical Ninjutsu itself is the exquisite application of Yang Release Chakra."

Naruto muttered to himself, "From the Mystical Palm Technique to Creation Rebirth, they are essentially using Yang Release Chakra to stimulate cell division, accelerate healing, and even guide tissue regeneration.

The ’Healing Creation’ that Clone came up with is nothing more than pushing this principle to a more efficient, controllable, and targeted level. Perhaps it combined more precise changes in Chakra form and nature, making the regeneration process more akin to ’creation’ rather than simple ’healing’."

"In the end, it is just an Advanced Medical Ninjutsu with an exceptionally strong effect and particularly precise control.

The true innovation lies in the application concept and fine control, rather than the attribute label."

Wait, it can heal severed limbs?

Then it might actually be somewhat useful; this already touches upon the scope of Creation Rebirth.

Thinking of this, Naruto recalled the smug look of that Shadow Clone calling him a ’layman’ and couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

It seemed his Shadow Clones actually had some skill, but he wasn’t bad himself either.

"These Clones who love to rebel against heaven call me a layman, and they do it every single day?"

The corner of his mouth curled into a dangerous arc. "Calling me a layman? It’s time to remind them of the sheer gold standard of what it means to ’learn Wood Release, Ice Release, and the Flying Thunder God Technique all in less than a month’!"

Naruto was not the kind of brute who only acted recklessly without understanding the principles.

His learning ability, his understanding of the essence of Chakra, and his near-instinctive talent for combat and creation were the actual foundation of his rapid rise in strength.

The Shadow Clones burying their heads in hard work to try and fuse the seven attributes was a necessary accumulation of trial and error, but that didn’t mean he, the Main Body, would just sit around and wait for the results.

He took a deep breath, clearing his mind of stray thoughts. Raising his right hand with his palm facing upward, his mind sank deep into his body.

In the next moment, two forces with completely opposite natures yet interdependent on each other began to gather and manifest in his palm.

On the left was warm, bright white Chakra filled with vitality and the breath of creation, slowly condensing into a small, clockwise-spinning magatama shape. On the right was cold, gloomy black Chakra carrying the traits of spirit and form-giving, condensing into a counterclockwise-spinning magatama shape.

One black and one white, one Yin and one Yang.

The two magatamas slowly drew closer, eventually connecting head-to-tail to form a slowly rotating Yin-Yang Taiji pattern, hovering above Naruto’s palm.

Yin-Yang Release!

This was not a simple mixing of Yin-attribute Chakra and Yang-attribute Chakra, but touching upon the more fundamental, higher-level form of Chakra: Yin-Yang Release.

This was the foundational power for creating all things, the core of the Ninshu founded by the Six Paths Sage, and the power of ’all creation’ that transcended ordinary attribute changes.

Although it was just a beginning, it wouldn’t be long.

Naruto stared intently at the slowly rotating Yin-Yang pattern in his palm, his gaze focused.

When he previously used the Rinnegan, he could easily condense those chakra rods that could disrupt Chakra, but that was mostly by borrowing the Yin-Yang Release authority inherent to the Rinnegan.

But now, in his normal state, relying solely on his own understanding and control of the essence of Chakra, he successfully harmonized and fused Yin Release and Yang Release Chakra, forming a true, controllable power of Yin-Yang Release.

"The core essence of Yin-Yang Release is ’creation’."

Naruto murmured softly.

The Shadow Clones proved that the brute-force method really worked; he only needed to make slight modifications to initially master Yin-Yang Release.

As he urged it with his mind, the slowly rotating Yin-Yang pattern in his palm began to accelerate. The black and white Chakras were no longer clearly separated, but began to blend, gather, and collapse on a deeper level!

A mysterious and unfathomable aura spread out.

The light gradually faded, and matter began to take shape.

A few seconds later, the Yin-Yang pattern in Naruto’s palm vanished, replaced by a short rod about thirty centimeters long, pitch black all over, with a smooth surface and strange patterns faintly flowing on it.

This black rod was exactly the same as the chakra rod he condensed when using the Rinnegan.

Able to transmit Naruto’s Chakra remotely, it was a very good Chakra transmitter.

This was the creative power of Yin-Yang Release.

From intangible Chakra to tangible matter.

In the original work, when Naruto restored one of Kakashi’s eyes during the Fourth War, many people thought it was the Yang power given by the Six Paths Sage at work.

In truth, that was an application of Yin-Yang Release, rather than the power of Yang.

Naruto gripped this freshly made black rod, feeling the quality within it that could disrupt the flow of others’ Chakra, as well as its own hardness and sharpness.

A satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"It seems that a layman like me isn’t completely useless after all."

Although there was still a long way to go before fusing the seven attributes and forming a true Kekkei Mora, successfully mastering and utilizing the creative power of Yin-Yang Release in his normal state was undoubtedly a massive Breakthrough!

This proved that his direction was correct, and his understanding of the essence of Chakra was constantly deepening.

Weighing the black rod in his hand, a confident light flickered in Naruto’s eyes.

The Shadow Clones were responsible for casting a wide net, accumulating through trial and error, while he, the Main Body, was responsible for seizing those flashes of insight to make deeper Breakthroughs and integrations.

"Kekkei Mora... won’t be too far off."

Naruto put away the black rod and looked out the window at the deep night sky, his heart filled with anticipation.

He not only wanted to let the Shadow Clones know the ’gold standard’ of the Main Body, but also wanted to show the entire Ninja World and even the Pure Land what true power was!
