Chapter 127
Could people from worlds other than Naruto’s refine chakra?
Kiriya leaned more toward yes.
After all, physical energy and spiritual energy—what people often called the body and the mind—were energies shared by all intelligent life.
Otherwise, they could not really be called intelligent beings in the first place.
So in theory, even people from different worlds should be able to refine chakra.
The key was the method.
Refining chakra involved advanced knowledge related to the body’s cells, chakra pathways, energy composition, and several other complicated subjects.
If Kiriya tried to explain all of it with words alone, he could talk for an entire day and night.
Especially after seeing Ais’s eyes grow more and more confused—looking exactly like he had as a kid forced to sit through high school math—Kiriya stopped.
"Why did you stop?"
Ais, Riveria, and the Hiryute sisters all looked at him in confusion.
"There’s too much to explain, and doing it with words is a pain." Kiriya slapped his forehead, then said to Ais, "Give me your hand."
Ais did as she was told.
Kiriya placed his hand over hers, compressed the basic knowledge into a package, then injected it into Ais through chakra.
Chakra in the world of Naruto was a mysterious thing.
It could carry emotions, knowledge, and memories.
That was why, during Naruto’s crisis, the Fourth Hokage and Uzumaki Kushina had been able to meet their son through the chakra they left behind, pulling Naruto back before he completely fell into darkness and even reinforcing the seal along the way.
With Kiriya’s current understanding and mastery of chakra, he still could not do something that advanced.
But using chakra to package and send information was within his ability.
"Mmh—"
Ais’s body swayed slightly.
Receiving such a huge amount of information all at once gave even her mind a considerable shock.
"Calm your mind and focus. Carefully absorb that knowledge," Kiriya reminded her.
Ais obediently sat down cross-legged and began digesting the information.
Riveria watched Ais closely, wanting to see what kind of changes would appear in her.
Then she moved closer to Kiriya and spoke in a low voice.
"Come with me."
Kiriya followed the green-haired elf to a nearby patch of trees. Looking at Riveria’s serious expression, he could not help but smile.
"What is it, Lady Nine Hell?"
"Give me your hand." Riveria held out her hand, her tone somewhat firm.
"This... doesn’t seem appropriate." Kiriya looked a little bashful. "You’re an elder, after all. If Ais sees us... that wouldn’t be good."
Riveria pushed down the anger rising in her chest and tried her best to keep her voice calm.
"Can you let me experience this so-called chakra?"
"Oh, so that’s what you meant." Kiriya looked deeply disappointed.
Under Riveria’s increasingly dangerous gaze, he took her pale hand and sent a little chakra into her.
"Mmmmhh~~"
Feeling that warmth flow through her like sunlight, Riveria let out a short sound from her throat before quickly suppressing it.
A faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
"So? I wasn’t lying, was I?" Kiriya smiled.
Of course, he understood what Riveria was thinking.
She was simply worried that he might be tricking Ais.
After all, Ais’s obsession with growing stronger was far too intense. If Kiriya were some kind of swindler, then the more hope Ais had now, the deeper her disappointment would be later.
As someone almost like Ais’s mother, Riveria naturally did not want her to be hurt.
"I’m sorry. I admit I may have judged you unfairly. But Ais... I have to be careful when it comes to that girl."
"I understand, I understand." Kiriya nodded repeatedly.
In truth, he did not dislike it. He actually liked this kind of warmth.
"This chakra you mentioned... Even if someone successfully learns it, what can it do?" Riveria continued asking.
"A lot. For example... ninjutsu."
Kiriya formed hand seals, then spat out an extremely thin stream of water.
The moment Riveria saw that water, her instincts screamed a warning.
She felt a deadly threat from it. If that thing hit her, she would die!
Shhk—
The stream of water cut through the air and swept diagonally across a nearby rock.
Crack.
Riveria used magic to stir the air and blow against the rock.
A corner of the stone slid down and fell to the ground, the cut surface as smooth as a mirror.
Riveria took a deep breath. For the first time in a long while, she felt truly shaken.
’That wasn’t magic.’
It was not magic, yet its power was every bit a match for magic’s.
And compared with magic’s usual chants, this power only required a few simple hand seals, and it activated far faster.
Even more importantly, this power called "ninjutsu" could be learned by others.
It had the possibility of spreading on a large scale. Once the outside world learned of it, the shockwaves would be enormous.
And yet Kiriya had revealed such a secret to them so easily.
"What are you thinking? Aren’t you afraid we’ll leak this?" Riveria could not understand him.
"I trust Ais, and I trust all of you." Kiriya looked at Riveria and smiled sincerely.
Something soft in Riveria’s heart was touched. For some reason, Kiriya suddenly looked much more likeable to her.
’He seems... rather suitable for Ais.’
That was what Riveria thought.
"Besides, even if others find out, it doesn’t really matter. As long as I keep using this power, people will learn about it eventually."
"Oh? And what if all of Orario wants that power from you?" Riveria voiced a chilling possibility.
"Then they can come." Kiriya grinned, a cold edge to his smile. "And I’ll teach them what pain means."
Although his Level was still not that high, if all his trump cards were included, his true strength was already enough to trade blows with people like Finn and Ottar.
And even if he lost, that was fine.
With Flying Thunder God in hand, he did not believe anyone could keep him there.
Couldn’t beat them? No problem.
He could simply leave a mark on them, then whenever he remembered, send them a Sage Art: Wind Release: Rasenshuriken as a gift.
If once or twice was not enough, then three or four times would do.
After all, everyone had to let their guard down eventually, right?
Before transmigrating, Kiriya had once seen people online talking about the "go home, Minato" fighting style.
Back then, he had only thought those people were shameless.
But now, if someone provoked him... that tactic sounded fantastic!
Of course, he can’t be too overconfident.
This world had gods, the Black Dragon, and other rule-breaking existences.
His methods might not be completely safe. But the same principle still applied.
He could afford to lose.
At worst, he would take Hestia and hide in another world for a while.
Once he developed to his peak, he could come back and make a proper triumphant return.
Level 3: Don’t look down on a poor young man!
Level 7: Come knock on my door anytime—if you can catch me!
Level 9: I answer to no one!
Kiriya smiled.

No, he only share chakra technique with Ais, and only senjutsu.
