I remember the plot of Naruto, at least snippets of it.
I would have remembered more, if I wasn't locked away and tormented for centuries. A part of me growls, as pure unadultured hatred pours out in waves
My chakra flares, and the water I'm standing on top of is displaced like I am Moses parting the red sea, as I find myself falling into the small hollow cavity I have just created.
I'd have my master's head, and drag the entire devil race off their pedestal eventually, but not now.
Not when I'm still too weak to even graze their skirt, not when I'm trying to get stronger by mastering foreign arts in an entirely different world.
I exhale slowly to calm my raging emotions, as the water starts filling in, and submerging my naked form, cooling my anger.
Back to the present though, the reason I'm currently swimming in a lake near Kiri's Grand Resistance Army, or GRA base is because I'm trying to master the water walking exercise.
It started off as a whimsy of mine, a want to familiarize myself with my new power, before I made a startling discovery.
Chakra, when mixed with my Touki becomes something new, something better.
I felt powerful then, it was like I could finger flick Serafall onto the moon, or pummel Sirzech into the ground.
The feeling was almost euphoric for as long as it lasted, which was about two or three seconds, before my Touki overwhelmed my chakra, and the ratio got all messed up.
I felt it back in my fight with the Kiri nins too, if not for less than an infinitesimal of a second, but between me being too busy calibrating my spell to adapt to chakra, and familiarising myself with chakra itself, I failed to notice it then.
But that powerful feeling got the gears in my brain spinning, trying to find an explanation, before blurry memories of Naruto from my past life gave me the answer.
Senjutsu.
Senjutsu in DxD, and Senjutsu in Naruto are both fundamentally the same, yet different at the same time.
Senjutsu in DxD works by familiarizing yourself with life force - or in the context of the Naruto world - Nature chakra of both the world and of yourself.
A practitioner of this art in DxD could then awaken his or her own Touki, or a user's own life force and use said life force to manipulate the life force of nature, of the world around you.
The keyword in there being manipulate, since one runs the risk of being corrupted by the world's malicious intent, and hatred if one directly absorbs external life force willy nilly.
Senjutsu in Naruto works just about the same except instead of manipulating the world life force, Sages take it in themself, and mix it with their own chakra.
This is only possible because the world here is a lot tamer, and more accommodating than that of my old world.
The result of this mixing of energies creates something better, something more potent than even sum of two parts combined
I don't know why it does what it does, but I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth, although I suspect that it has to deal with the world tree, and all that Otsutsuki shenanigans.
And that's what I'm trying to do, mixing my own life force, or Touki with my own chakra, to create my own sage mode so to speak.
The reason I'm not adding the world's life force into the equation is because even though the planet seems a lot more accomodating, it's still dangerous for even a master of Senjutsu—not to mention poor old me—to take in that truckload of energy willy nilly, less I run the risk of turning into stone. At least for now.
But the problem with balancing two types of energy at a specific ratio is the need for the control of said energies to be up to par, hence the need to up my chakra control, ergo me being soaked in water
"Man, if I hadn't seen what you did with nothing but your bare body, I would have pegged you for an amateur idiot with too much chakra to spare."
"You lost to that amateur idiot by the way." I quip with a smirk which got the woman to snarl, and threatening to pummel me with her raised fists.
I snort, because it's more cute than anything.
Like a tiny kitten hissing as you, because that's about as much of a threat she is to me.
"Right, why are you here anyway? Don't tell me you are scared of strangers and new places, so you need me to be your prince charming in shiny armor?"
"Bastard! stop messing around! you dragged me here in the first place, don't you pretend like you don't remember" She snarls, and throws a pebble my way which bounces off my head and ricochets back to her forehead.
"Ack!" Ringo eeps, and keels over which I blatantly ignore.
Right I forgot I kinda did that huh? But in my defense I was starved of human interaction, and Ringo here is the only one I can remotely consider an acquaintance in this place.
Plus it doesn't help that I'm trying to charm her into joining my peerage voluntarily.
It's all due to my infinite kindness and the fear of letting such a beautiful woman die of a mere disease and definitely not because I'm trying to lift my 4 centuries dry spell, and get my dick wet.
Finishing that train of thought, I turn back only to see the woman I'm trying to woo coiling into a fetal position, while massaging forehead with tears in her eye.
Damn, I forget how fragile humans are without their chakra.
Which in this case is very apt for Ringo with her chakra sealed by way of fuinjutsu.
An art that I am very much interested in.
