Naruto: The Strongest Training System

Chapter 21: Overdrafting Chakra

"What should I do? What on earth should I do right now?"

Orion didn't know what to do. His chakra was completely depleted, yet the last acupuncture point, the Yangbai point, was still one-fifth away from being opened. If I were to give up now, I would gain nothing.

Even the eight points I had just opened would be sealed again one by one. But I have no chakra in my body right now. What should I possibly do? Orion lowered his head and thought for a moment, then suddenly lifted it.

The look in his eyes was extremely resolute. Orion's eyes told others, I will not give up.

Without chakra, it seems I can only use that one method. Right now, there are no other methods left to use, only that one: overdrafting my chakra.

If it weren't the last resort, Orion really wouldn't want to use this method. But because there were truly no other options, he had to bring this one out.

However, if one wanted to use this method, one could not faint in the middle of overdrafting chakra. If you were to faint in the middle of the process, then the body would continue to follow the person's instructions from before they fainted—that is, to continuously overdraft chakra.

And the consequences of continuously overdrafting chakra would be terrifying. That terrifying consequence would be the permanent inability to ever use chakra again. But that was still the better outcome. Besides being unable to use chakra, there was another possibility: the person would die. A permanent death.

Because the body would be continuously overdrafting chakra, the various meridians in the body would be unable to bear the strain and would slowly rupture. The body's cells would also slowly die due to the massive overdraft of chakra. So, if one were to faint in the middle of overdrafting chakra, the lesser consequence would be the rupture of the body's meridians, making it impossible to ever use chakra again. The more severe consequence would be the mass death of the body's cells, and the person would fall into an eternal slumber—that is, death.

Because Orion was also very clear about these two consequences, if he could avoid using this method, he would do his best not to. But now, he had no choice. There wasn't a trace of chakra left in his body, and the last of the nine major points, the Yangbai point, was still one-fifth away from being opened.

Therefore, if he wanted to activate this powerful ninjutsu, then he had to use this method.

Of course, giving up on activating this ninjutsu was also an option. But after giving up, the eight points he had opened before would be wasted. Everything he had done before would be for nothing. And I am not the kind of person who gives up halfway.

Furthermore, Orion also felt that if I were to give up now, the difficulty of activating this ninjutsu in the future would greatly surpass this time. This was because his chakra was still low right now, and the nine major points around his eyes had not been "baptized" by much chakra yet.

Therefore, activating this ninjutsu now was not considered too difficult. But later, when my chakra became more and more abundant, when the nine major points around the eyes had gone through countless baptisms of chakra, at that time, the nine major points would develop a kind of resistance to chakra. So, the difficulty of activating this ninjutsu at that time would be substantially increased.

Coupled with Orion's personality, he didn't want to give up. He wanted to take a gamble. Because if one wants to become strong, how can one not experience risk? Moreover, strength and crisis are also correspondingly linked. To obtain great power, one must face a great crisis.

In this world, there is no such thing as wanting to obtain great power without paying a price yourself. Such a thing does not exist, and it never will.

Orion's heart went through countless struggles, asking himself countless times what kind of decision he should make. But these processes all served to strengthen his resolve: I want to obtain great power.

Orion wanted to obtain extremely great power, and to do so, he had to pay a price. To obtain great power, he had to face a great crisis. And at this moment, my decision is firm. I'll take the bet.

Orion wanted to see if I could succeed. I wanted to obtain that intoxicating power, and I was willing to face such a great crisis.

After secretly making the decision in his heart, Orion immediately began the process of opening the last of the nine major points, the Yangbai point. And at this moment, the Yangbai point still had one-fifth left to be opened.

However, one must not underestimate this final one-fifth. Don't look at the fact that Orion had already successfully opened eight major points plus four-fifths of the Yangbai point. This final one-fifth had to be opened with my overdrafted chakra.

Therefore, even if it was the final one-fifth, this final, inconspicuous, tiny one-fifth, was still an extremely difficult hurdle to overcome. But although this hurdle was very difficult to cross, as long as I could cross this hurdle that was blocking my path, then Orion's strength would definitely have a very great improvement. Because the name of this ninjutsu was the Eye of God. Just by hearing the name, one could tell just how powerful this ninjutsu was. Furthermore, this ninjutsu was also gifted by the system, which made it even more of a guarantee.

Isn't there a saying? That saying is also this system's catchphrase: "Anything produced by this system is guaranteed to be of premium quality." Therefore, Orion wasn't the least bit worried about the power of this ninjutsu. All he needed to do now was to overdraft his chakra and use the overdrafted chakra to open the final one-fifth of the last of the nine major points, the Yangbai point.

As long as Orion successfully opened this final one-fifth, then I could wait to experience the crazy growth of my strength. This feeling seemed to be quite good. I'm already getting a little fired up now.

Orion calmed his mind, mobilized all his spiritual energy, and used all of it to frantically overdraft his chakra, overdrafting the chakra that was already used up.

The spiritual energy that Orion had mobilized quickly reached the location of the Yangbai point. This spiritual energy frantically followed my instructions, giving the cells the command to extract chakra. But right now, that wasn't called extracting chakra, but overdrafting chakra.

Although those cells had already had a great deal of chakra extracted from them, they were now still being mobilized by Orion's spiritual energy, and the chakra hidden deep within the cells was being overdrafted.

Trickles of chakra were slowly being overdrafted. Although the amount of extracted chakra wasn't much, as long as there was chakra, Orion would mobilize it to the vicinity of the last of the nine major points, the Yangbai point, to open this final point that was trapping me.

Slowly, trickles of chakra were infused into this final point, the Yangbai point. That final one-fifth that was trapping me finally showed a sign of loosening. So, Orion immediately increased the speed of the chakra transport, frantically mobilizing his chakra to open the Yangbai point.
