The Strongest Hokage

“This is weird.”

Naito opened his eyes touching his chin and revealing a trace of doubt.

Chakra is originally the source of life, to break it into something more basic like spiritual energy is really difficult, let alone to touch the soul itself.

“But can the Ultra Perceive touch the spiritual world?”

After the idea flashed in his mind, Naito closed his eyes again, but this time he blocked all of his five senses to make his Ultra Perceive at its strongest state.

Naito has finally perceived the existence of spiritual energy.

Naito ignored the Chakra that was running through his whole body and focused on his spiritual energy.

“The spiritual energy is even more illusory, in fact... it seems to be related to the momentum, will and these sort of things.”

After gradually finding the direction, Naito began to study its depth.

However, Naito’s Chakra is still somewhat different, making him unable to display the Spirit Transformation technique and consolidating the soul into a substance.

Naito first started to connect his momentum, will and such thing with his spiritual energy, but this process seemed to be somewhat difficult.

It’s not like it doesn’t work, but if he tries to condense them all together, they will explode all together to the outside forming an invisible spiritual impact.

The fusion of both his momentum and will form a direct impact from the spirit energy.

This can be regarded as a kind of illusion, but the range of this attack is wide, and it’s really different from the Shock Force, it’s almost invisible to eyes.

During the experiment, the invisible impact directly stunned some ordinary people along to some other Shinobis in the outside, causing Konoha to fell into chaos, they even thought that someone is trying to invade them.

Even an Uchiha could be harmed by this spiritual shock some of them even collapsed.

“There is no success in casting the Spirit Transformation technique; instead, it seems like if I created a spiritual shock wave...”

Because the practicing of this technique seems like its gonna affect the village, Naito headed toward the hills behind it.

Speaking of this, in addition to this Spiritual shock, Naito can also use his shocks to target all direction, a little bit similar to the Shinra Tensei, but still quite different.

Naito recontinued his practice trying to see if he can combine both the Spiritual Shock and the Shock Force.

Even though the effect could be a little bit ineffective but even the slightest enhancement to his Shock Force will be useful and maybe magnificent if could make it stronger later.

After trying a few times, Naito failed to combine both forces, the Shock Force is already too strong; therefore, it cancels the Spiritual energy the moment he tries to combine them.

And the Spiritual energy alone is not strong enough to have an effect against the Kage level.

To enhance the power of the spiritual shock, its necessary to have a stronger momentum, and will, on the other hand, it will be better if he started from the fundamental of the spiritual aspect, that is, to find a way to reach and strengthen his soul.

Strengthing the souls has always been what Naito wanted, if he can strengthen it, he will gain a true immunity, and even more.

However, there isn’t a lot of soul techniques in the world, and only a few people have studied it.

“I need to return to the fundamental, the only choice I have is to go back to practicing the Spirit Transformation technique and find another way to reach the soul level through Chakra.”

“Only by reaching that level, I can find a way to strengthen the soul; otherwise, it will only be a waste of time and effort.”

After he sat on a rock, Naito bowed his head and start meditating, finally, after a few hours, he ended his training and was ready to return to the village.

Naito started to consider asking for help, and the first person he thought about was no one but Kato Dan who mastered this technique.

Just when he was thinking of ways to find Kato, he saw a figure coming for a distance.

“Naito, did you finish your training?”

There’s no doubt that this person is Kushina, she couldn’t find him anywhere in the Village, so she came outside looking for him.

After she did that for so many years, it became really easy on her to find Naito.

“Well, let’s go and grab something to eat.”

Naito stood up and flashed from the mountain and appeared again in front of Kushina.

Naito looked at her cute face and couldn’t help but pinch her cheek and tease her.

“It’s getting dark, let’s go!!”

Kushina’s cheeks blushed slightly, then she picked his arm, and start to run toward the Village.

Naito took a glance at her face, then he smiled and followed her.

“It’s really weird that no one from the Anbu department has followed her.”

“Thinking about this, Kushina has been captured before in the original, it’s a bit strange that they managed to take her from the inside of the Village.”

Naito felt a little bit strange, and he shook his head immediately, he couldn’t think of any way for them to take Kushina from the Village, but he estimated that this plot has been rewritten anyway.

After walking for a while, the village buildings start to get visible.

Suddenly Kushina turned toward Naito, and her face showed an inexplicable expression, then she whispered at him: “You know Naito, I’ve been following Mei lately, and I know what she was doing every day.”

“Hmm?”

Naito was surprised, he didn’t expect Kushina to do such a thing.

“She seems to be spying on someone, but I don’t know who it is.”

“Well... She might be doing a mission.”

Naito couldn’t help but also feel that something was wrong, this character has not been mentioned in the original, her existence itself is strange, she’s not a Jinchuriki, not strong, she’s only a regular Shinobi.
