Although this gave Konoha's civilian class a shot in the arm, the biggest problem of Konoha Ninja School still remains unresolved.

In Konoha, family ninjas are still the mainstream. Family secret techniques, family jonin, family ties and so on, together weave into a big network, firmly controlling most of the power in Konoha.

To give a few more simple examples, the Nara clan always acts as the secretary of the Hokage, the members attending the high-level meetings of Konoha are always the clan leaders, and the team leader teachers assigned after graduation are always senior ninjas.

Even if there are exceptions, they are rare compared to the huge number of civilian ninjas.

Therefore, if civilians are not gifted, after graduating from the Ninja School, especially the Jonin, that is their limit. When they are thrown onto the battlefield, they are just a bigger cannon fodder and will always be a background board.

It's cruel, but this is the reality of Konoha.

As long as there is one person in a high position of power in the ninja family, and the family's strength is not too weak, a few words or an exchange of interests can be used to obtain a rare opportunity that ordinary ninjas dream of for the younger generation they value.

"Thank you father."

Hatake Akira accepted it calmly and didn't feel anything was wrong.

If you have convenience, you should take advantage of it. Otherwise, how can you survive the "farce" of competing for bloodlines in the later period of the Naruto world?

As for wanting to eliminate the shortcomings in Konoha's talent training, it's not that Hatake Akira didn't have any ideas, but now is not the time for him to realize his ambitions.

It is impossible for Hatake Akira to do everything himself. It is comfortable for him to be a military strategist or a big boss behind the scenes who only talks.

After all, no one can refuse the opportunity to win without doing anything.

"I'm done eating, father."

After finishing a small bowl of rice in a few mouthfuls, Akira Hatake, who had already eaten two meals, could not eat any more.

Seeing Hatake Akira put down his bowl and chopsticks, Hatake Sakumo did not blame him, but asked a new question.

"Ming, Kakashi asked me a question before he went on a mission today." Hatake Sakumo looked very serious, "Do you really think our Hatake family's sword skills can achieve the level you imagined?"

"can!"

Hatake Akira answered decisively, "Father, you are an experienced person, and you are the one who created the 'New Hatake Swordsmanship' that integrates lightning escape into swordsmanship. You should be able to judge that my assumption is not groundless."

"But there are still too many restrictions..." Hatake Sakumo's mind moved slightly and he raised some questions, "Chakra metal is the first obstacle that cannot be bypassed, and how to continue to improve the power of swordsmanship is also a big problem."

"Chakra metal will come later, trust me."

"Okay, but how do you plan to solve the second problem?" Hatake Sakumo did not ask too many questions, but instead asked about the solution to the second problem.

"Magic!"

"Magic arts?" Hatake Sakumo's expression darkened. "The summoned beasts of our family are ninja dogs. Although some of them have outstanding abilities, the ninja dog clan does not belong to the three holy places, so the inheritance of magic arts is not complete, or even non-existent."

"I know this." Hatake Akira naturally knew about the Hatake family's summoned beasts, "but in addition to the fairy technique, there is another idea that is only theoretical."

"What idea?" Hatake Sakumo asked anxiously.

Strength is what almost everyone in the ninja world pursues, and Hatake Sakumo is no exception.

"Compress chakra." Hatake Akira expressed his thoughts, "Chakra is like water. A large amount of water can destroy an entire town, but if the amount of water is not enough, it does not mean that it does not have that kind of power."

"What you mean is..." Hatake Sakumo had some understanding, but he still didn't grasp the key point.

"There is a third form of chakra!" Hatake Akira said shockingly.

As for Hatake Sakumo, he sat up straight and waited quietly for Hatake Akira's next words.

Chapter 32 The third envisioned chakra change.

As we all know, there are two kinds of changes in chakra: changes in chakra's form and changes in chakra's properties.

Chakra form change is easy to understand. It is to change the shape of ninjutsu to achieve some special effects, such as the ultimate chakra form change - Rasengan.

As for the changes in the properties of chakra, it is a bit confusing and even more difficult to practice.

Take the wind attribute chakra as an example. Its property advantage is sharpness, but its weakness is fire attribute chakra. Because wind helps fire, it can often make the enemy's fire escape ninjutsu more powerful, which is undoubtedly digging a hole for yourself.

However, if the characteristics of fire attribute chakra are added to wind attribute chakra, the shortcomings of single wind attribute chakra can be perfectly avoided, and the power of ninjutsu can be greatly increased.

This is the change in the nature of chakra, and its main theoretical basis is the mutual promotion and restraint relationship between the five chakras.

However, the above examples are not the limits of chakra property changes. They can only be said to be the most basic applications of chakra property changes.

When the nature changes of the fusion of two chakras reach the limit, a bloodline limit can be formed.

For example: Wind + Fire = Burning Style Bloodline Limit, Wind + Water = Ice Style Bloodline Limit, Fire + Earth = Molten Style Bloodline Limit, and so on...

But if the three chakra changes are combined, what will be derived is blood elimination, such as the Dust Release of the Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

If the five types of chakra property changes are integrated and Yin-Yang escape techniques are added, it will form a bloodline network, a pure Six Paths level character, and his strength will be top-notch.

But precisely because of this, the practice of changing the properties of chakra is definitely the most difficult.

The third chakra change envisioned by Akira Hatake is much less powerful than the peak chakra nature change, but it is much easier to practice.

Moreover, the third type of chakra change has no bloodline restrictions and is the best shortcut for people of ordinary bloodline to achieve Six Paths-level combat power.

Of course, without the bloodline of the Six Paths Sage, one cannot fully become a Six Paths level, but one can be on par with the Six Paths level in terms of combat power.

In other words, as long as one successfully practices the third chakra transformation, one will be absolutely invincible below the Six Paths, and the limit above the Six Paths will be one for one.

"What on earth is the third chakra transformation?!"

After waiting for a few seconds, seeing that Hatake Akira was still thinking and not speaking, Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but urge him.

After more than six years of getting along, Hatake Sakumo trusts Hatake Akira very much and is very willing to listen to some of his judgments and suggestions.

Moreover, Hatake Akira has been very intelligent since he was a child, and he has come up with all kinds of strange theories. Naturally, Hatake Sakumo also has high expectations for him.

Not only that, many of the things that Hatake Akira said seemed off the mark when you first heard them, but after careful consideration they did make sense to a large extent.

"Ahem, I was just thinking about something and got distracted." Hatake Akira cleared his throat and explained, then got to the point, "The third type of chakra change is compression, compressing the 'surface' into a 'point', concentrating all the characteristics of the chakra, using the same amount of chakra in volume to exchange for the same amount of chakra for the maximum power!"

"From the surface to the points?" Hatake Sakumo seemed to understand something.

Snapped.

Hatake Akira snapped his fingers.

"That's what I mean. If I have to give a specific reference, it should be the Water Style of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, Water Breaking Wave." Hatake Akira gave an example, "If the water flow is compressed to a certain degree and the space where it is released is restricted, then the water flow can become a sharp blade, and it is no problem to split mountains and crush rocks."

"The same is true for chakra. When chakra is compressed to a certain degree and controlled within a certain burst range through form changes, the power of this technique will be jaw-dropping."

"And the swordsmanship of our Hatake family obviously fits this setting. After all, the blade is slender and sharp, and so is the sword energy generated when the sword is swung."

"If you compress the chakra and inject it into the sword energy or combine it with the 'New Hatake Sword Technique' created by my father, the destructive power it causes will completely reach the destruction caused by the top-level bloodline limit, and can even surpass blood elimination!"

"In my imagination, this third type of chakra change is a comprehensive change. It combines the chakra's form change with simple property changes, and finally compresses it to form the ultimate form of breaking through the surface with a point!"

"As long as this idea can be accomplished, then a simple swing of the sword will be able to carry the tremendous power of splitting the sea and chopping mountains. Whether it is against a single or a group, almost no one can be a match for me at this stage!"

As he spoke excitedly, Hatake Akira's tone became increasingly high-pitched, and Hatake Sakumo, who was listening nearby, was also in high spirits.

Akira Hatake was like a theoretical pioneer. Although he could not bring any substantial demonstration, the inspiration he provided undoubtedly served as an enlightenment mentor for Hatake Sakumo, a genius who had been famous for a long time.

Inspiration is sometimes really important!

Although realizing inspiration requires a solid foundation and sufficient talent, this is really not a problem for Hatake Sakumo.

How could Konoha White Fang, who could bring Hatake's swordsmanship to new heights, be a mediocre person?

As for White Fang's ninja sword, it did restrict the development of Hatake Sakumo, and turned Hatake's originally bold and aggressive swordsmanship into a "petty" assassination-type swordsmanship.

But to be honest, after Akira Hatake provided Sakumo Hatake with practical inspiration, as long as Sakumo Hatake was given time, he would be able to redefine Hatake's swordsmanship once again!

"The shape changes to fix the chakra's elongated shape, and the properties change to incorporate the sharpness of the wind attribute, the diffusion and body activation of the lightning attribute, the plasticity and softness of the water attribute, and finally compress it..."

Hatake Sakumo muttered to himself, waving the chopsticks in his hand as if they were a ninja sword. "If this is the case, with a ninja sword that conducts chakra well, then one strike..."

Hatake Sakumo gently waved the wooden chopsticks in his hand.

puff,

There was no sword energy shooting out, no earth-shattering visions, and no visible chakra fluctuations. All that was left was the wooden chopsticks turning into powder, which disappeared silently in front of the father and son without the need for wind to blow them away.

ummm

This... is really scary!

"Father...you...did it...just like that?"

It was enough to see Hatake Akira's stuttering that he was inner unrest. Hatake Sakumo's talent was too terrifying. It could change the chakra form, three kinds of chakra properties, and chakra compression!

"No, I just got some clues." Hatake Sakumo came back to his senses and exited the state similar to enlightenment. "Also, the chakra conductivity of chopsticks is close to zero, and the experimental results are not satisfactory."

"Thank you Ming!"

It was rare for Hatake Sakumo to bow slightly to Hatake Akira. You have to know that they are father and son, and Hatake Sakumo doing this was considered to put his status in a relatively low position.

Seeing this, Akira Hatake dodged and was a little overwhelmed.

Just kidding, although Hatake Akira's soul comes from the 21st century, his body is actually given by Hatake Sakumo, and the blood relationship is unavoidable.

"Father, please don't mess with me, I can't stand it!"

"Okay, don't worry about that. You have to know what your suggestion means to me and what it means to the future of the Hatake family!"

Hatake Sakumo waved his hand towards Hatake Akira, "Please clean up the dishes and go to rest. I have to go out and ask the Sandaime for advice."

Although Hatake Akira doesn't want to work and doesn't want to have anything to do with Sarutobi Hiruzen anymore, it is undeniable that Sarutobi Hiruzen is known as the Doctor of the Ninja World and is very knowledgeable about the changes in chakra forms and properties and has a certain authority.

Hatake Sakumo is only proficient in Lightning Release. Although he has dabbled in Wind Release and Water Release, he is far from being proficient in them, so it is inevitable that he needs to ask for advice.

"Okay father, but I have one more thing to tell you." Hatake Akira said seriously.

Since the idea of ​​the third chakra change is expected to succeed, he must also prepare for subsequent enhancements.

Chapter 33 New Year's Day of Konoha's 44th year.

The ninja world is an unfair world, and it becomes more and more unfair as time goes by.

The "hard-working genius" became a complete joke in the end, and Rock Lee, who was "banned" for more than 300 episodes, is the best proof of this.

The same goes for Might Guy, the man who almost kicked out of the finale. The price of dancing a sad song was to burn his life as nourishment, which can be said to be the most glorious moment of the man without bloodline.

But this highlight came at the cost of one's life. It took all the effort and risking one's life to seriously injure Uchiha Madara.

Sad, right?

sad!
