"It's a pity that the two modes cannot coexist; this technique hasn't reached perfection yet," Orochimaru said with satisfaction but also a bit of regret.
Once you activate the Blood Mode (Active Blood Armor), it's hard to maintain the Armor Mode (Passive Blood Armor). Similarly, keeping the Armor Mode makes it difficult to activate the Blood Mode.
"These are two different chakra operation modes. It would be easier to make them work together in my Hundred Healing Jutsu and Creation Rebirth," Tsunade, who was deeply involved in developing this technique, pointed out the problem directly.
Both modes operate on the same Tenketsu routes. Activating one will inevitably shut down the other.
It's not impossible to solve, for example, by reducing the overlap of Tenketsu routes or dividing the body into two areas, but achieving this might be possible if used in two separate cases.
Another approach could be body modification to adjust the body for this technique.
However, both methods have their own flaws. The first requires further optimization and raises the training threshold again, while the latter focuses purely on adapting the body to this technique, potentially locking in the maximum power level.
Tsunade was already satisfied that this technique was created during this period, even if it seemed like a half-finished product. It allowed successful practice, and that was enough for her.
She didn't want to further optimize it. She had done her part, and now it was time to leave the village with Shizune for a long journey away from troubles and worries.
"Kid, give this to Might Duy," Tsunade said, pulling out a scroll from her chest and tossing it to Kagetsu.
After tossing it, she turned around, waved her hand, and left the area with Shizune.
"I've already checked their bodies. As long as they continue training in the Eight Gates, the strain and damage to their bodies will be continuous. All I can do is enhance their physical strength as much as possible."
"It looks like she's decided to leave the village," Orochimaru observed, a hint of disappointment in his golden snake-like eyes.
He had noticed the changes in Tsunade over the past few days and vaguely guessed her decision and purpose. After this parting, it might be a very long time before they meet again.
"You two have two days to adjust. In two days, I will take you out of the village for a mission," Orochimaru said to Kagetsu and Anko, retracting his gaze.
He didn't try to persuade Tsunade or stop her; he understood the mental struggle she was facing. This struggle involved not just her clan but also him and the Third Hokage, her former teacher.
Tsunade's departure might be the best solution for the village, her clan, and herself right now. So, why should Orochimaru stop her? Even if the Third Hokage knew, he would likely remain silent and just help her wrap things up.
Kagetsu didn't pay attention to Orochimaru's current emotional state; his panel had just updated again.
[Ninjutsu Creation: New
- Active Blood Armor (Blood Mode): Focuses on offense, significantly increases physical strength and chakra. Requires activation.
- Passive Blood Armor (Armor Mode): Focuses on defense, forms a chakra membrane under the skin to enhance physical defense. It provides strong resistance against taijutsu, weapon attacks, and ninjutsu.
Summary: A powerful ninjutsu combining offense and defense, but requires significant training.
Approval Rating: 900/1000 (A higher approval rating will provide more inspiration and rewards for related works.)
Reward: +3 Physical Fitness, +100 Chakra
(Note: After reaching the physical limit, the increase in chakra will stop.)
Tsunade and Orochimaru, both elite ninja, instantly raised the approval rating to a very high level.
At this moment, a lot of related inspirations about this technique appeared in his mind, like a flash of insight showing a new path.
Although Kagetsu's current knowledge and skills are not enough to immediately evolve this technique or transform it completely, he now has a direction for improvement and adjustment.
It's similar to Kakashi's Chidori, which has advanced variations like the Raikiri and various derived ninjutsu.
After reading the explanation behind the rewards, Kagetsu pondered and speculated: Physical enhancement has a limit. When the body's physical capability can no longer improve, will the chakra refining and output also reach a limit?
Of course, this might not be the correct interpretation.
Kagetsu set this thought aside for now. He doesn't need to worry about distant future issues.
At less than seven years old, his body and chakra are still developing. For at least the next ten years, he shouldn't need to worry about this problem.

The quality of the talent has also been upgraded, indicating that Kagetsu's learning and comprehension abilities have further improved.
"Then we'll dismiss. You've done very well these days! Your talent has surprised me. If you want, I can share some of my research resources with you," Orochimaru said, admiringly looking at Kagetsu.
At least for now, he felt that Kagetsu was to his liking.
