Wok Shadow Ninja

Chapter 330: Chakra Armor

Hinata and Rino's relationship was extremely good. Now, Karin had found another way, forcibly recognizing Inoichi as her father. Ino was speechless. You must be trying to pincer attack me! This is so hard for me!

She quickly read the letter.

The core content of Inoichi's letter was just one thing: stop grinding missions and come back to the village for a feast.

Two days later, Ino returned to the village. Spurred on by Asuma and Kurenai's wedding, the true protagonists of the entire Naruto anime, Hayate Gekkō and Yūgao Uzuki, also entered the hall of marriage.

Previously beaten to near death by Baki, even though Ino had timely summoned Katsuyu for treatment and saved his life, Hayate Gekkō's body could no longer fight on the front lines.

Jiraiya transferred him to teach at the Konoha Academy, teaching students the Konoha-Style Sword Technique. Ninjas who had already graduated from the academy could also go to him to learn.

This set of skills, whether you called it swordsmanship or bladework, looked simple, and in fact, was very simple, but to use it well was really not easy.

The Konoha-Style Sword Technique was easy to learn but difficult to master.

If a great war broke out, if the ninjas each had a hand in the Konoha-Style Sword Technique, it would be better than fighting hard with kunai, right?

When using kunai, it was basically relying on experience and eyesight—stabbing, poking, slashing, just those few moves. Ordinary ninjas had no system when using them. Now, this Konoha-Style Sword Technique was at least a systematic martial art.

Hayate Gekkō became a taijutsu teacher.

Yūgao Uzuki also left the ANBU, her status changing from covert to overt, taking over Hayate Gekkō's previous position as a Tokubetsu Jōnin.

Many ninjas were getting married these days.

The incredibly shy Kakashi also wanted to practice the "advanced" knowledge he had learned from Icha Icha Paradise. Urged by Minato Namikaze, he was going to marry Miss Hanare.

Ino returned to the village to attend his wedding.

There were still a few ninjas from the Hatake clan, but Kakashi was used to being low-key. Marriage was his personal affair, and he didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

At the wedding, there were only Jiraiya, Tsunade, a masked Minato Namikaze, and a few colleagues like Might Guy, his students like Naruto and Sasuke, a few acquaintances like Ino, and his neighbors. No one else was invited.

Minato offered no explanation, only suspecting that the masked man would come to disrupt Kakashi's wedding. Several masters, including Ino, hid in the shadows to ambush him. But the wedding ended perfectly without any incident. The only incident was perhaps Might Guy getting drunk and throwing a tantrum…

The masked man never appeared, which made Minato's suspicions uncertain again.

Shortly after Kakashi's wedding, Minato left the village to investigate the matter of the masked man.

In between carrying out various miscellaneous missions, Ino taught herself some knowledge of biology, genetic science, and mechanical manufacturing.

She combined the "posture-corrector," that is, the chakra armor from the Land of Snow, with the Stone of Gelel.

The chakra armors of Rouga Nadare and Fuyukuma Mizore stimulated the acupuncture points of the limbs and the liver, respectively. Stimulating these two parts could indeed bring a considerable increase in chakra, but it also had strict requirements for the wearer.

According to the difficulty of opening the Eight Gates, the Gates of Opening, Rest, and Life were the three auspicious gates, and opening them was generally smooth. The Gates of Death, Fear, and Pain were the three ominous gates, and opening them was extremely difficult; a slight mistake could lead to death. The Gates of Closing and View were considered neutral gates, with moderate difficulty.

The chakra armor of the Land of Snow also followed this principle.

Ino's main research subject was the chakra armor used by the female snow ninja, Fubuki Kakuyoku. This armor stimulated the Gate of Closing on the spine, which was of moderate difficulty and provided a moderate amount of chakra and enhancement.

Originally, due to the lack of an energy source, it could only rely on the ninja's own internal acupuncture points to control the chakra armor, which had considerable drawbacks.

Now, with the Stone of Gelel providing chakra, combined with the chakra armor of the Land of Snow, it could definitely bring a considerable improvement to a ninja's individual strength.

The importance of the spine was beyond doubt. Stimulating the important acupuncture point of the Gate of Closing could significantly increase chakra in a short period of time and also effectively increase the user's speed.

In all of martial arts, only speed is unbreakable. This saying also applied in the ninja world.

After making the new product, Ino found someone to test it.

Tenten, who had little chakra, hoped to improve her speed, and was actively receptive to new things, came to her.

"Is this the thing?" She held the Y-shaped device, which looked like suspenders, and looked at it from front to back.

The snow ninjas' chakra armor was worn on the outside of their clothes, requiring the person to have a corresponding constitution to activate the armor's enhancement effect. The one Ino designed was worn next to the skin. In theory, anyone could use it. The energy was provided by the Stone of Gelel and would not put a heavy burden on the body or chakra pathways.

This new Y-shaped chakra armor perfectly fitted the spine. She named it "Sandevistan Type-1!"

Hers did not involve human modification and was considered a very healthy cybernetic device. Tenten thought the name was a bit strange but still wore it next to her skin as required and experienced it on the spot.

Her own chakra communicated with the Stone of Gelel, which then used the stone to activate the Sandevistan.

The device continuously discharged electricity to stimulate the body's acupuncture points, briefly achieving the effect of opening the first gate.

"Whoa!" Tenten felt full of power, her body so light it felt weightless.

"Attack me."

"Alright, be careful!"

Tenten threw a powerful whip kick from the side at Ino's head. She quickly retreated, dodging with a side flip. Tenten tapped the ground with her toes, her body incredibly light, and kicked three times in a row at her head, chest, and abdomen, which she blocked by turning sideways or raising her arm. Then, Tenten's hands swept into her waist pouch, and with both hands, a large number of ninja tools rained down.

Ino didn't have a skill like Rotation; she just drew Shūsui and parried with her superior reaction speed.

The storm of projectiles lasted for three minutes before Tenten, panting, stopped her attack.

"Are you okay? How was the effect?" Ino asked in a low voice.

Tenten rested her hands on her knees and, in a very Team 3-like fashion, gave a thumbs-up, indicating the effect was excellent.

After two more practical tests, Tenten gradually adapted to this soaring speed, and Ino obtained relatively accurate data.

The Sandevistan Type-1 provided a limited increase in chakra, but its effect on speed was extremely obvious.

Ino's current eight ninja stats were all extremely high. Tenten's previous speed was a whole tier below hers. After activating the Sandevistan Type-1, the gap was narrowed.

This was basically equivalent to an increase from "Speed" 6 to "Speed" 7.

Ino tried it herself, but the increase was negligible. It should only be able to increase levels below 7. Beyond that limit, deeper physical modification would be required.
