While w for Uzumaki Mito, Shiki’s situation was in fact very simple.

  He simply lost track of time.

  In the depths of his sciousness, knowing that su opportunity could not be wasted and not knowing an ied outside party was watg, Shiki made no move to attempt to exit his state at that moment.

  After all, there would be no one looking for him in quite a while and even if the people at the orphanage became worried about him showing up on time, Shiki thought it was not such a big deal.

  ‘Let them worry a bit if need be. This is more important now, I just apologize ter and be around a little more for the few days until everyone fets about it and leaves me to my devices once again.’ That was the extent of his siderations.

  How could Shiki have imagined he had drawention of su illustrious personage as Uzumaki Mito herself?

  It was pletely beneficial to himself, so his higher awareness gave ns and his spirit, though powerful, was still too underdeveloped in regards to chakra if Shiki wao cat experienced sensor like Mito in her peeping.

  So while the situation in the physical world proceeded in a way he never even ceived, Shiki was having a great time refining the theory behind his first self created jutsu.

  ‘I had envisiohe Three Bodies Breathihod as a breathing teique that would enhahe physical body, the spirit body and, going from there, try and touch the mysteries of the True Body but beyond the first, I had no idea how to proceed but . . .’

  He was currently in a deeply spiritual state and had a tenuous but active e to his True Body so Shiki was fident he could make great strides.

  ‘Maybe, if rather than just looking at it in a simir way to the Breathing Styles of Demon Syer, I approach it from the full body breathing process that is mentioned in cultivation novels . . .’

  Shiki made theories aally simuted how they might work.

  ‘No . . . To that I would have to deal with Nature Energy and that is too dangerous at the moment with my pitiful chakra reserves.’ He quickly cluded.

  ‘Getting the oxygen pumping also would increase focus, both in iy and duration so maybe if I follow that line of thought and try to affect the spirit through the physical sihey are deeply ected . . .’

  Feeling that path was much more viable at the moment even if it would not be as potentially powerful, Shiki began makial modification to his breathing teique, making a few possible variations that he intuited might give him the results he seeked.

  ‘Alright, I have a possible solution to the 2nd of 3 parts of my breathing teique but right now, trying for the 3rd part with as little knowledge as I have seems like a waste of time.’

  ing to this clusion, Shiki decisively moved on to his self-genjutsu. Not only was this far more within the realm of possibility, it provided direct bes and might even help him recreate the intense foecessary to reapproach his current state.

  ‘The theory behind it is simple. Just an advanced form of self-hypnosis making use of chakra.’ He thought on the premise and saw no issues.

  ‘As for the actual process . . .’

  ‘The key is to eliminate my reflexive resistao the self-genjutsu and instead make my spiritual strength work in favor of it instead.’ Shiki cluded.

  In other words, he o make sure the self-genjutsu took root deep in his mind and rewired his natural respoo spiritual stimution, direg them in a more effit and beneficial way.

  ‘There are ways to put genjutsu seals, blocks and protes deep into someone’s mind so this is definitely possible but I don’t know how to do any of that.’ Shiki identified his problem.

  He had a lot of superficial knowledge from watg and reading the Naruto Series but the ih knowledge that came with reading the actual jutsu scrolls and such was pletely missing which made developing jutsu that much harder.

  Simply put, Shiki cked the all important foundational knowledge on the fun of specific elements of ninjutsu asu.

  Taijutsu was much simpler, it was jutsu building up chakra, fog it oain parts of the body and violently expelling it at key moments.

  Hard to actually apply profitly, requiring a lot of practice to get right and a lot of training in order to get a suitable physique but the theory behind it was exceedingly simple, even basic use was very intuitive, making even the dumbest of idiots be able to use basic taijutsu.

  Ninjutsu asu especially, however, required a lot more of a theoretical basis that Shiki simply had no way to access for now.

  It was a frustrating thing to be sure.

  ‘If I just had some info on the basics of genjutsu, I am sure this would be very much doable.’ Shiki sidered moving on but perhaps thanks to his wondrous state, an epiphany struck him.

  ‘Am I not in the ideal situatiht now?’ He questioned himself.

  ‘Rather than try and create a genjutsu to give me the foecessary to attain this state again, I instead recreate this state, even if in a much shallower way, as that genjutsu.’ Shiki thought.

  ‘If I analyze my current spiritual fluctuations and then attempt to replicate them . . .’

  He let his supernatural intuition guide him in devising a jutsu based on these new parameters, filled with an unexpinable fidence he would gain, at the very least, a measure of success.

  Only after reawakening in the real world would he be able to firm this.

  Still, his two main objectives were aplished in such a way so there was only ohio do from his list.

  Using his enlighteo sort some of his ideas for the future and catalogue them based on potential and feasibility iure, once he was far more informed iters of jutsu and chakra.

  Based on his knowledge on the series, Shiki had made what he he Yin-Yang Theory, a pet project he made as a fan in his previous life.

  He was extremely curious if he was right and the possibilities that would be opened up to him in su event. It would require a lot of theoretical knowledge to even begin the proving process however so he pushed it further into the future.

  There was also a theory he had oal chakra natures and their effects on one’s physical body which was much more pursuable.

  In such a way, Shiki tianize every single one of his ideas, no matter of stupid or out there they were, merely assigning them a priority level and moving on.

  It was during this process that his pns for the future were greatly disturbed for the first time.

  Out of nowhere, at least for him, a certain red haired, seemingly middle aged, beauty with just a few of the minor marrings of age, popped up in the depths of his mind, leaving him in a shocked state.

  Shiki immediately realized who the intruder was but before he could even process it, his natural instincts kicked in.

  Mito had proceeded through his mind unbothered because Shiki’s focus was pletely turned inwards but now that he aowledged there was a fn presen his mind, as a reflex, his increased spiritual might crashed into Mito’s mental body.

  The e was the Uzumaki matriarch being violently ejected from his mind and Shiki instantly, involuntarily falling out of his state of higher sciousness.

  It was a very fusing experience for both aher of them knew what to make of the situation when Shiki suddenly sat up in Mito’s room with the redhead looking straight at him.

  Hower, much ter, both would look back at this day, gd it wely how it went.
