Back at the hotel, he put his things in his room.Checking the time, he saw it was still early; it wasn't time for his shift change yet.In his room, Hatake Kaede reviewed his current combat strategies and identified areas for improvement.
Having completed this mission, Hatake Kaede will undoubtedly undergo targeted training to address his weaknesses, which should greatly improve his overall strength.
First, there's his own chakra.After sensing his own chakra level and comparing it to that of his mentors, Jonin Yuhi Teruharu and Shirakumo Kazama, Hatake Kaede determined that he had reached the average level of a Jonin's chakra.However, he hadn't yet reached the level of Kakashi Hatake during the Boruto era.
Sorry, you silly little brother, forgive your older brother for making you my unit of measurement.
If other people switched places with Hatake Kaede, they might be quite content.However, as someone who traveled from another world, Hatake Kaede is very familiar with the future development of the ninja world.
Leaving aside the yet-to-arrive Otsutsuki clan, there's also the Otsutsuki Isshiki currently hiding in the ninja world, the cunning Black Zetsu, and the impending Ninja World War.All of these require Hatake Kaede to have ample "firepower" to deal with.The foundation of this firepower is a vast and massive amount of chakra.
Naruto in the future, the First Hokage in the past, and the current Uzumaki clan—aren't they all chakra users?Having a vast amount of chakra might not make someone a powerful ninja, but powerful ninjas certainly don't have a small amount of chakra.
There are two solutions to the chakra problem: Sage Mode and Tsunade's Yin Seal.These are the obvious solutions.There's another method only I can use: innate lightning ability Awakening.Since that's the case, as an adult who transmigrated here, I want them all.
The second aspect is ninjutsu.When Hatake Kaede was able to refine chakra, he took out chakra test strips from Hatake Sakumo's room to test his chakra attributes.
He discovered he possessed chakra of five natures.However, his Lightning Style, Water Style, and Wind Style chakra were more active.Therefore, most of Hatake Kaede's ninjutsu were based on these three natures.
[The three elemental ninjutsu, when used properly, can unleash tremendous power.Future ninjutsu development should focus primarily on Lightning Style and Water Style, with Wind Style as a secondary approach, to fully unlock the potential of all three elemental ninjutsu.]
[For Lightning Style we can refer to the Third Raikage of Kumogakure plus the future Kakashi; For Water Style, we should definitely refer to Tobirama's techniques"; and For Wind Style, we need to consider Naruto's future "Rasenshuriken"!]
As for Fire Style and Earth Release, I'll continue developing them when I have time.I also want to create a "Five Releases Great Combo"!Damn it, if I create a "Sage Art: Five Releases Great Combo," wouldn't Madara Uchiha have to think twice?
The third aspect is perception.In previous battles, Hatake Kaede deeply realized his weakness in lacking perception.Many times, the enemy was already close before he even noticed their presence.
My past life's experience taught me that you need to learn to place wards in the fog of war, otherwise, a few burly men will suddenly appear out of nowhere and gang up on you!Sigh, if only I had Enel's "Mind Web," or just awakened Observation Haki directly.
[Famous sensory techniques in the ninja world include the Uzumaki clan's Kagura Mind's Eye, the Hyuga clan's Byakugan, and the Third Eye of Sunagakure in the Land of Wind.Famous sensory ninjas include the Second Tsuchikage, Mu, and the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju.It seems I'll have to revisit Tobirama for further study and reference.]
[As expected of the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, the Uchiha clan's lifelong nemesis.He certainly has some skill!]
The fourth aspect is illusion magic.That's right, although Hatake Kaede knows the basics of illusion magic, he can't cast it at all; he can only dispel some basic illusions.
Among all the ninja clans in Konoha, the Uchiha and Kurama clans are renowned for their genjutsu (illusionary techniques).The Kurama clan, in particular, possesses a bloodline limit that allows them to manipulate the five senses of the target.They are the only clan capable of making the Uchiha clan bow down in genjutsu.
[And then there's -sensei Teruharu, Yuhi Teruharu, Yuhi Youchun, Yuhi Shinku, and the future Yuhi Kurenai; they're all famous for their illusions.]
As my strength is gradually revealed, that old devil Danzo will definitely try to win me over and control me.Illusion is a very good method.I may not be able to cast illusions, but I will make them ineffective against me.That's right, what I'm guarding against is the illusion "Kotoamatsukami".
The fifth aspect is sealing techniques.Sealing techniques are also a type of ninjutsu, belonging to a unique branch of ninjutsu.Sealing techniques have a wide range of applications, ranging from sealing tailed beasts to restricting a person's movements.
In the current ninja world, those skilled in sealing techniques include the Uzumaki clan, the priestess clan of the Land of Demons, and the One-Tailed Shukaku and the Eight-Tailed Gyūki.That's right, Shukaku and Gyūki, two of the Tailed Beasts.
[To learn sealing techniques, it's best to study them systematically.If I had the opportunity to enter the Land of Whirlpools and learn the authentic sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, I believe my strength would greatly improve.However, learning sealing techniques requires careful planning; I cannot rush it.]
The sixth aspect is taijutsu (physical combat).As the saying goes, which mage doesn't dream of close combat?Ninjas are high-attack, low-defense, fragile characters; improving their taijutsu is the last line of defense to ensure their survival.
The Five Kage, who pacified the Warring States period, possessed not only superior wisdom and masterful political maneuvering, but also immense strength to subdue their unruly ninja subordinates.Their power encompassed not only devastating ninjutsu, but also taijutsu capable of tearing apart tigers and leopards with bare hands and splitting mountains and rocks.
Without a strong physique and good healthPhysical strength, no matter how great, is ultimately just a castle in the air.The current leader of Amegakure, Hanzo of the Salamander, his father Hatake Sakumo, and Tsunade, one of the future "Legendary Sannin," were all renowned taijutsu ninjas.
The final aspect is medical knowledge.Since ancient times, "medicine and poison have been inseparable," meaning one must not only be able to quickly heal others, but also to eradicate poisons from the world.
Medicine and poison are like two sides of the same coin.True mastery lies in both medicine and poison, achieving complete immunity to all poisons.
After carefully reflecting on his shortcomings, Hatake Kaede formulated a future training plan based on his own deficiencies and recorded it in a blank scroll that he always carried with him.
First, there's the Hatake clan's Hatake swordsmanship, Tsunade's "Super Strength Technique," which quickly compensates for deficiencies in physical skills, and combined with the development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, enhances one's physique.
Secondly, one should obtain the cultivation method for the "Yin Seal." Even if one cannot cultivate it, one should still refer to the "Yin Seal" to develop a suitable "battery" for oneself.This will allow one to continuously output power and ensure that one's firepower remains uninterrupted.
Next is the Sage Mode in Shikkotsu Forest.Sage Mode is similar to the "Yin Seal" above, both designed to improve one's survivability.
The immortal modes of the three holy lands each have their own advantages and disadvantages.
Mount Myōboku emphasizes the absorption and utilization of natural energy, resulting in powerful bursts of energy.The downside is that it's relatively short-lived, requiring the absorption of more natural energy to continue using Sage Mode.
Ryuchi Cave emphasizes survival skills and is adept at utilizing the surrounding inorganic environment.The downside is that training there is difficult and dangerous; one wrong move and you could be eaten by the snakes of Ryuchi Cave.
Shikko Forest focuses on recovery skills, enhancing the activity of its own cells and improving its physical condition.Its weakness lies in its weak attack power and lack of powerful offensive methods.
Finally, there's the Second Hokage's sensory ninjutsu.
With a long sigh, Hatake Kaede put down his pen.He carefully read through his own training plan from beginning to end, making revisions and deletions until he finally finalized a training plan that suited his own circumstances.
