Although dical jutsu has a sky-high requirent to even start learning it, since I had decided, I will go through it.
So, I started studying dical knowledge alongside Tsunade.
And let tell you—
It sucked.
Not because of the subject. The subject was fine, interesting even. Chakra networks, organ systems, pressure points—this was the stuff I needed to master if I wanted to go anywhere near dical ninjutsu.
The biology here was actually quite different from what I rember back on earth, due to the influence of chakra, so it was sothing new.
So, was learning from the dical books really a problem?
No, the problem wasn’t the material. It was . Yeah... I sucked.
I read one scroll. Took notes. Understood it. Cool.
Then the next day, I forgot half of it. A week later? Gone.
I’d reread things three, four, five tis—and still, nothing stuck the way it should’ve, which was actually normal by human standards back on earth.
But here, I was studying with Tsunade, and she was a different beast altogether.
She’d read sothing once and then quote it word-for-word the next day like she was born with the scrolls implanted in her skull.
Sure, she’d been studying since she was five, but still—watching a literal child outpace you like that does sothing to your ego.
At first, I ignored it.
’It’s fine. I’ll catch up.’
Then I got annoyed.
’She’s from a clan. They train differently. They have better teachers.’ I comforted myself,
Then ca the quiet dread. Now even with the sa facilities, I was getting nowhere near her.
It was really disheartening...
Because I wasn’t being lazy. I put in the hours. I wanted to get this.
But even with all that, I was starting to feel myself lagging behind...much behind.
This was not a limit in chakra control or physical enhancent or anything like that, which can be redied with extra training- Nope...
This was sothing scarier.
ntal limits. I was simply dumber than her...
mory. Processing. Learning speed.
Tsunade was smart. Really smart. Like, scary smart.
And ?
I was just a guy with average talent and one overpowered passive stat.
And how the hell am I even supposed to raise my IQ?
One afternoon, after Tsunade finished explaining sothing to for the third ti—sothing I had read two days ago, mind you—I just sat there in silence.
She walked off to grab sothing from another room, still chatting about chakra pathways and dical categories and blah blah blah.
anwhile, I just... exhaled. Loudly.
’Damn... why can’t I just be smarter?’
I leaned back on the mat, looking up at the ceiling of the Senju study room, trying not to feel like a complete moron.
And then, stupidly, I muttered to myself—
’I wish I had a better brain...’
And then...
A thought.
A dumb one.
But a loud one, ca into my mind...
’Wait... what if I use chakra enhancent on my brain?’
My whole body sat upright before I even realized it.
’Why the hell haven’t I tried that?’
I’d been reinforcing my muscles, my bones, my joints, even my senses to so extent. I could run uphill with pure physical chakra reinforcent.
I’d enhanced my spine to throw off impact during falls. Hell, I could even thread chakra from my shoulder blades like weird extra limbs.
But never once... had I even considered the brain.
Why?
Well, because most people don’t think of chakra enhancing their brain as a thing.
And because maybe there’s a reason nobody does it.
Maybe it’s dangerous. Or impossible. Or just... dumb.
But the mont the idea struck, I couldn’t let it go.
I wasn’t like the others, sure there were people smarter than , but this required super high chakra control, and I was sure that no one even ca near when it cos to controlling chakra, my only cheat.
The idea started eating at , like an itch I couldn’t scratch.
’If I can control chakra perfectly—down to the thread, the layer, the particle—then why can’t I enhance specific brain regions?’
’What if I strengthen mory-related centres?’
’What if I increase ntal processing speed, or clarity?’
It wasn’t just so idea now—it was a need for ...
But I wasn’t stupid enough to just throw chakra into my skull and hope for the best.
No.
If I was going to do this, I needed to know what I was aiming for.
So, I stopped following Tsunade’s study pace.
I stopped trying to morize everything.
I focused only on one thing—
The human brain.
Tsunade questioned a lot about why I did that, but I just said that I had an idea and wanted to try it, it would be a surprise if it succeeds.
For the next year, I read only neurology, brain anatomy, cognitive functions, chakra-nerve interactions, cerebral flow patterns—everything even vaguely related to how the brain worked.
It wasn’t glamorous.
It wasn’t fun.
But slowly, piece by piece, I started understanding what I needed to do.
No, I did not beco so world renown expert on the brain, but I knew enough to try enhancing it without harming myself.
I already knew stuff like,
Where the mory centres were.
Where decision-making happened.
What to avoid—what to reinforce.
I even started creating mock diagrams—chakra circuit blueprints for my own head.
And then... it was ti.
It was early morning. I’d skipped the usual Academy drills for this.
Just , alone, at the far edge of the training field, sitting under a tree with my legs crossed, hands resting on my knees.
I let my chakra flow slowly.
No rush.
First, through the spine.
Up the neck.
Into the base of the skull.
Then... into the brain.
And I’ll be honest—
It felt weird.
Like a cold, clear wind was blowing through my thoughts.
No pain. No dizziness.
Just... clarity...
The mont the chakra settled into place, sothing snapped—in a good way.
Suddenly, things that didn’t make sense... did.
Everything I’d read over the last year ca back in full detail.
Scroll nas. Line numbers. Diagrams. Terms I hadn’t even known I knew.
And more than that—
Doubts I’d had?
Started answering themselves.
I laughed.
Not a chuckle. Not a smug snort.
A full-on, hands-on-knees, insane-person kind of laugh.
Because I’d done it.
I found it.
My way to grow, sure I was an idiot, but I could use my only talent to compensate for everything.
People had bloodlines. Others had Kekkei Genkai.
So had tailed beasts. So had secret clan techniques.
?
I had this.
Chakra enhancent... for the win.
And suddenly, the path ahead didn’t seem so scary anymore.
The past was naïve and dumb, but the present was smart enough to deal with all which ca in my way.
