Chapter 3 It's a wonderful world
This feeling was not unfamiliar to Gojo Yoru.
Before a person dies suddenly, their body will give them warning signs.
If you stay up too late, you may not be able to fall asleep at all. Instead, you may become more and more excited, have a dry mouth and throat, and experience a rise in body temperature.
Even more frightening is that your heart will beat very fast, and that feeling of palpitations and chest tightness can create a fear that once you fall asleep, you may never wake up again.
Gojo Yoru had felt this way many times in his previous life, but he didn't take it seriously when he was young.
Now that feeling returned, Gojo Yoru couldn't help but feel a surge of fear.
Without the slightest hesitation, Gojo Yoru immediately got up to drink water, but dared not drink it all at once, instead taking small sips.
Once the dryness in her mouth subsided a bit, Gojo Yoru carried the water bottle back to her room, lay down on the bed, and tried to clear her mind to allow her heartbeat to return to normal.
However, no matter what she did, Gojo Yoru's heartbeat did not slow down at all.
In the quiet of the night, it sounded as if someone was drumming in Gojo Yoru's room.
Lifting his clothes, the pounding chest seemed to reveal a heart inside, as if it wanted to burst out of Gojo Yoru's body.
Excitement, coupled with fluctuating body temperature and dry mouth, kept Gojo unable to sleep, forcing him to constantly boil and drink water.
Gojo even took several cold showers, but it didn't help at all.
This situation persisted until noon the following day.
Not counting yesterday's half-hour nap, Gojo Yoru has been without sleep for a full thirty hours.
But Gojo Yoru didn't feel uncomfortable at all.
In my previous life, after such a long period of sleep deprivation, even with heightened mental energy, I could feel the tension in my brain, my eyes bloodshot, and even congested.
In this life, Gojo Yoru did not experience the latter situation.
Even after he calmed down, he found that he had incredibly abundant energy, like a perpetual motion machine.
Clearly, it's the effect of the heart, the pumping organ, beating violently.
This situation lasted for a full seven days.
Gojo also suffered from insomnia for seven days, going nearly two hundred hours without closing his eyes.
During those seven days, Gojo Yoru didn't eat anything at all, only drank a lot of water.
It wasn't that he didn't want to eat, but that he simply couldn't eat.
Amazingly, he did not eat for seven days, yet his body showed no changes and he remained full of energy.
Gojo Yoru's feelings gradually shifted from initial fear to excitement.
If it were a sudden death, he would have been lying on his deathbed long ago after not sleeping for seven days.
But the fact that he didn't die means it wasn't a sudden death, but rather that his body was experiencing unknown changes.
Perhaps... his cheat code is about to appear!
Is it an unknown bloodline limit of the Gojo family that awakened in his generation?
Or was it a special ability that came from his previous life and traveled with him, or even the main reason that led him to travel through time?
The sudden, death-like sensation lasted until noon on August 28th, Konoha Year 30, before slowly disappearing.
"Finally over..."
When her heartbeat returned to normal, and her low-grade fever and dry mouth disappeared, before Gojo Yoru could finish her exclamation and check her body for any changes, everything suddenly went black, and she collapsed onto the bed, falling into a deep sleep.
I don't know how long I slept, until the churning hunger from my stomach pulled me out of my deep sleep.
"So tired..."
Gojo Yoru opened her eyes, but had no desire to get up.
He hasn't felt tired from not getting enough sleep in a long time.
If it weren't for the ceiling and the surrounding environment reminding him, Gojo Yoru would have thought that the previous six years were just a long dream.
Turning to the side, Gojo Yoru opened the bedside table drawer and took out a box containing two rows of six pills—the compressed biscuits and mana-restoring potions from the Naruto world—the Soldier's Rations Pills.
One pill wasn't enough; Gojo ate three soldier pills in total, and it was only after his body had been completely drained that he regained some strength.
Getting out of bed and standing in front of a full-length mirror, Gojo took off his clothes and looked around at his body in the mirror. Finding no change in his appearance, he immediately sat down cross-legged and used the method of refining chakra to see if there were any changes in his body.
thump—
The sound, like the beating of drums, resounded in Gojo Yoru's ears, in his mind, and deep in his soul.
At this moment, Gojo Yoru's gaze seemed to achieve internal vision, arriving at the room where the human heart is located.
Inside that 'room,' there was a black heart, thumping loudly.
This scene flashed by in an instant.
Gojo Yoru suddenly opened his eyes, his face filled with astonishment.
If I'm not mistaken, that heart looks...black?
"Could that be my heart?!" Gojo Yoru thought to himself.
To confirm his hypothesis, Gojo Yoru closed his eyes again and refined his chakra.
But the internal vision I saw just now never appeared again.
When the physical and mental energies are about to merge, a special energy suddenly surges out from the cells and forcefully joins the fusion of the two energies.
Then a wisp of black chakra, formed by the fusion of three energies, appeared in Gojou Yoru's abdomen.
"Black chakra, could this be my cheat ability?"
Gojo Yoru opened his eyes again and then formed hand seals in an attempt to mobilize that wisp of black chakra.
The black chakra, seemingly no different from ordinary chakra, flowed along the meridians into Gojou Yoru's right palm as he performed hand seals.
It could be that the amount of chakra was insufficient, or it could be that Gojo Yoru's chakra control was not up to par, because that wisp of black chakra failed to appear outside his body.
And in just a few seconds, this wisp of black chakra disappeared into Gojou Yoru's body.
In that short time, Gojo Yoru couldn't find anything special about the black chakra.
So, Gojo Yoru continued to refine his chakra with his eyes closed.
A special energy surged forth again, mixing with physical and mental energy to form strands of black chakra.
When Gojo could no longer extract physical and spiritual energy from the cells, this special energy rushed straight to the main nest and merged into the blue cyclone.
Just like applying ink to white paper, some of the chakra gradually turned from blue to black.
When Gojo Yoru could no longer extract special energy from his cells, one-third of his chakra had turned black.
"Let me see how effective you really are!"
Gojo Yoru stood up, his hands forming hand seals with a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. He mobilized the black chakra within his body and began to cast the spell.
Since refining her first strand of chakra at the age of three, Gojo Yoru has now mastered the Three Body Techniques taught at the Ninja Academy and has begun training in the C-rank Five Elements Release Techniques during this vacation.
Since the Five Elements Escape Techniques cannot be performed at home, Gojo Yoru wanted to use black chakra to perform the Three Bodies Technique.
The result was... absolutely nothing happened!
Illusory clones cannot be created, and the physical form remains unchanged...
This discovery surprised Wu Tiaoye more than it surprised him.
The inability to cast spells indicates that this black chakra is different from ordinary chakra. No abnormalities were found; it's just that the 'special effect' is well hidden.
And mystery means...power!
Gojo Yoru swallowed another soldier's ration pill, then opened the glass door of the balcony, looked at the faintly bright sky outside, formed hand seals, and was about to transform into a blur and leap out.
Suddenly, Gojou paused slightly, recalling how he had successfully channeled the black chakra to his palms. He then channeled the black chakra again to gather it in his feet, preparing to use the Konoha Body Flicker Technique, a D-rank technique taught at the Ninja Academy.
Just like when she used the Three Bodies Technique, Gojo Yoru did not disappear as a shadow, but she felt as if she was stepping into thin air.
Looking down, Gojo Yoru's pupils suddenly contracted sharply.
All that could be seen was Gojo Yoru's feet, which seemed to be stuck in a swamp, with his calves submerged in the balcony.
But Gojo Yoru's feet didn't feel any squeezing or enveloping sensation, and her body didn't continue to sink. It was as if her feet weren't sinking into the balcony, but rather merging with it.
Gojo Yoru slowly lifted her leg and pulled her right foot out of the balcony.
Looking at the balcony floor without a single dent, Gojo Yoru could no longer control her expression. She lowered her head, covered her face with her hands, her shoulders trembled, and let out a groan that was hard to tell whether it was a sob or a suppressed laugh.
After a long while, Gojo Yoru lowered his hands, looked up at Konoha, which was bathed in the morning glow and looked as beautiful as a painting. It was as if he was seeing this place where he had lived for six years for the first time. His face was still grinning, but he couldn't help but open his arms and exclaim with a smile, "What a beautiful village! What a... wonderful world!"
