Chapter 31 Acupoint Electrotherapy
night.
In the basement of the orphanage, candlelight flickered.
Nono pointed to the dense black dots on the human anatomy chart.
"These are the 'points' in the meridian system, also known as acupoints."
"The human body has 361 chakra points, each of which is like a miniature valve that controls the flow of chakra."
"This is the theoretical basis of the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist."
"The core of Soft Fist is to forcibly close or open these valves."
When the Hyuga clan was mentioned, Sousuke's expression became more serious.
That's a prestigious family in Konoha.
The combination of white eyes and soft fists can accurately strike 361 acupoints throughout the body.
"I don't have white eyes, I can't see pressure points," Sosuke said frankly.
"We can't see it, but we can carry it on our backs."
From the corner, Chiba's voice came again.
He walked over, holding a marker in his hand.
"The proportions of a person's skeleton are fixed."
Chiba stood on tiptoe and drew a few lines on the wall chart.
"Two inches above the wrist crease, between the two tendons, is Neiguan."
"Regardless of weight, as long as you can feel these two tendons, the acupoint is in the middle."
As Chiba spoke, she gestured with her small hands.
"Once you get the hang of it, you can find it at a glance."
Sosuke looked at the precise auxiliary lines that Chiba had drawn on the wall chart.
This child's understanding of human anatomy is almost instinctive.
In this world, most people rely on bloodline limits (Byakugan, Sharingan) to observe the flow of chakra.
But Chiba is different.
Chiba relies on his brain.
"Nonou-sensei," Sousuke suddenly spoke up, "If I use silver needles to pierce these densely packed acupoints and inject lightning-attribute chakra, could I forcibly increase the speed of nerve conduction?"
Nonou's expression changed.
"What are you thinking about?"
She looked sternly at Sosuke.
"This is the concept behind the Hidden Cloud Village's 'Lightning Release Chakra Mode.' But they use full-body lightning armor for stimulation, which is more even. You're using needles?"
"If you make a mistake and your nerves are burned out, you will become paralyzed."
"Is it theoretically feasible?" Sosuke only asked about the result.
Nono remained silent for a long time.
She looked at this man who would stop at nothing to become stronger and sighed.
"Theoretically... it's feasible. Silver is an excellent conductor of chakra, second only to metals in chakra conduction. If you can precisely control the intensity of the current, you can indeed forcibly activate the muscles."
"But this requires extremely high precision. Even a deviation of one millimeter poses a huge risk."
"Chiba is here."
Sosuke pointed to the child next to him.
"Have him draw the dots for me. With his guidance, accuracy won't be a problem."
This is crazy.
But Nono had no reason to stop someone who wanted to survive in this chaotic world.
The next hour became a one-man show for Chiba.
He took a marker and filled Sosuke's arm with black dots and lines.
"This is the Shaohai acupoint. Stimulating it can cause the forearm muscles to contract instantly."
"This is the Shenmen acupoint, which connects to the flexor muscles of the palm."
Sosuke lowered his head, memorizing every single black dot on his arm.
This is not a tattoo.
This is the control panel for his body.
……
late at night.
West Street Warehouse.
Sosuke sat at the table.
He held two slender silver needles in his hand.
Two copper wires are connected to the end of the silver needle.
At the other end of the copper wire was a black square box.
Those were batteries he bought specifically for this purpose.
The principle behind Lightning Release Chakra Mode is to stimulate cell activity with Lightning Release chakra.
The ninjas of Kumogakure are naturally strong and can directly use chakra to violently cleanse themselves.
Sousuke can't.
Although his meridians had been widened, he was still a mortal.
He needs a gentler, more precise approach.
That is, physical electric shock.
Sosuke took a deep breath.
He extended his left hand.
His arms were covered with black marks drawn by Chiba.
He inserted two silver needles into two acupoints on his arm.
Quchi (曲池)
Shousanli (LI10)
These two points are the most densely packed nerve nodes in the arm, controlling the flexion and extension of the forearm and fingers.
No hesitation.
Sosuke flipped the switch.
Nourishes—
A blue arc of electricity flashed across the connection point.
"Hmm!"
Sosuke's arm suddenly sprang up.
Uncontrollable convulsions.
The feeling was like someone had hit a nerve with a hammer, and the soreness, numbness, and swelling instantly shot straight to the top of the head.
The muscles contracted forcefully under the stimulation of the electric current, becoming as taut as iron.
Sosuke gritted his teeth and stared at the stopwatch.
This current is set to 12 volts.
This process is extremely dangerous; if you're not careful, your nerves could be burned and your hand would be ruined.
Therefore, he only set the duration to 10 seconds.
10 seconds later.
The switch automatically trips.
Sosuke was drenched in sweat, his arms hanging limply at his sides, still trembling slightly.
About three minutes later, the uncontrollable trembling stopped.
Sosuke picked up the glass marbles on the table.
Under the continuous stimulation of the electric current, his fingers became unusually sensitive.
The marbles rolled rapidly between my fingers.
It didn't fall off.
faster and faster.
His neural reaction speed has noticeably improved.
Although it's minuscule, perhaps only 0.01 seconds.
But in the high-speed offense and defense of ninjas, that 0.01 second is the boundary between life and death.
"efficient."
Sosuke's eyes were cold.
He picked up the silver needles again.
This time, he targeted the acupoints on his thigh.
Futu.
It's three miles.
This is to train the explosive power of the legs, to improve the speed at which the "Substitution Jutsu" can be activated in that instant.
Nourishes—
The crackling of electricity echoed again in the empty warehouse.
Accompanied by suppressed groans.
This is a process of turning people into machines.
He has no bloodline limit, so if he wants to survive, he must become stronger as soon as possible and forge himself like a block of iron.
……
the next day.
Waste treatment plant.
Genzo looked at Sousuke.
What happened to your hand?
Sosuke's left hand was trembling slightly, a lingering effect of the electric shock he received the previous night.
"It's nothing, I just overdid it."
Sosuke pulled out a steel wire and a shuriken.
"Let's try that 'knotting' one more time today."
Yuanzao was somewhat disdainful.
"Your hands are shaking, and you still want to do micro-management?"
"Give it a try."
Sosuke stood ten meters away from the dummy.
He took a deep breath.
Although my hands were trembling, they had definitely become more dexterous.
The force is exerted by the right hand.
Whoosh.
The sword flew out of his hand.
It still flew past the dummy's wrist.
In that very instant.
Sosuke's pupils contracted sharply.
He recalled in his mind the sensation of an electric current running through his nerves last night.
Forcibly mobilize chakra to stimulate acupoints on the wrist.
shake.
shake.
shake.
Three extremely subtle, yet highly frequent, vibrations were transmitted along the taut steel wire.
hum-
The steel wire made a buzzing sound in the air.
The originally straight lines, like snakes given life, instantly coiled up.
Snapped!
A crisp sound.
The steel wire was tightly wrapped around the dummy's wrist.
And because of the force of the rebound, it got into a knot.
"receive!"
Sosuke pulled suddenly.
The mannequin's arms were tightened, even making a cracking sound like wood breaking.
If it were a real person's wrist, the ulnar and median nerves would have been severed in that strike.
Genzo almost dropped the bottle in his hand.
He stared wide-eyed at the knot.
"You did it?"
"It only succeeded once."
Sosuke released his grip and gasped for breath.
A sharp pain shot through his right wrist; the intense, tingling sensation after the forced outburst almost made him kneel down.
"That's the kind of 'shaking' you wanted."
Yuanzhao walked over and examined the knot.
very tight.
very perfect.
"Boy," Genzo turned his head, his eyes filled with complex emotions, "did you use a forbidden technique on yourself?"
"There were no forbidden techniques," Sousuke said calmly. "I only used acupuncture."
"Can acupuncture do this?"
The source does not believe.
But he didn't investigate further.
Every ninja has their own trump card.
"Now that we've mastered this move..."
Yuanzao sat back down on the tire.
"Then you are qualified to learn advanced shuriken techniques."
"This is not an ordinary shuriken."
"It's the Fuma Shuriken! It's a giant Fuma Shuriken controlled with steel wires, used to fight like a puppet."
"That's a Chunin-level killing move."
"Do you have the money to buy the Fuma Shuriken?"
Sousuke smiled.
"I have plenty of money."
