Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Lava Release (3)
"Now that you have mastered these two jutsus. You can have the last lava-style jutsu scroll that we have in Konoha. Along with that, I would be teaching you the remaining three forms of lave release that I know about."
"You will definitely like the jutsu that I have for you. I heard from Mukai that you wanted to incorporate change in chakra nature while using chakra augmentation to aid you in taijutsu. This jutsu is a lava version of rock fist." Hiruzen said
"You gather lava chakra in your hand then you form the hands signs. Then before your hands can get covered by molten rock and flames, you solidify it. This is another form of Lava release, Volcanic ash. Volcanic ash are very hard and hot rocks like substance. Fists covered by them would pack quite a lot of punch. You can use chakra to regenerate them once they are broken off in the middle of battle. They can be used as a defense too."
"That's just what I wanted Grandpa. Thank you!!" Ken jumped in joy as he hugged his grandpa. He wanted something to help him in taijutsu. It would surely help him during his career as a genin or a chunin. He would have to find a stronger jutsu once he starts fighting stronger enemies.
"This jutsu also has a weakness, Ken. The rocks that would cover your fist are pretty heavy and thus would reduce your speed considerably." Hiruzen said highlighting the weakness of jutsu.
'Now that's a very glaring weakness. I could get rid of that by doing some weight training like Lee did. It would help me increase my speed too. But it would be a pain in the ass. I am still young. I would think about it in the future.'
'Who am I kidding? Mukai would definitely use this opportunity to train me with weights on.' Ken thought
"Now coming to the Lava form used here, Volcanic ash. To create it, You have to keep the same chakra level as molten rocks i.e. 50 percent of both earth chakra and fire release chakra. When you EXPEL the chakra out, You solidify it using earth release chakra. Remember you solidify the lava once it is outside your body. You have to be very quick with it."
"Another form of Lava release that is quite similar to this is Vulcanised rubber. Now the chakra composition is the same for it as well. But instead of solidifying the lava outside of your body, you do it inside of you. When you are about to spit out Lava, you solidify it using earth chakra nature which would give you rubber. Thus instead of spitting lava, you would be spitting rubber balls. Do you understand?"
"I think I do," Ken said
"Good. Now the last form of Lava release is Corrosive quiklime. Its chakra composition is 75 percent earth-release chakra and 25 percent fire-release chakra. This is lava also in its liquid form but compared to the liquid lava it is quite weak but it has a higher attack speed. Its true power shines when you use water release along with it."
"The addition of water would set off the necessary reaction to make the substance harden which would create cement. You could trap your enemies in the cement as it is extremely tough to get out of it. You can even work as a construction worker hahaha" Hiruzen joked as he really wanted someone like Ken when the leaf was destroyed during the nine tails attack.
He could have used the cement to hasten the construction process as well as reduce the costs incurred on acquiring cement.
'He said the last form of Lava release but there is one more form that was shown in the anime. It looks like he does not know about Mei's acidic mud form.' Ken thought
"Have you understood the principle of each of the lava forms or do you have any questions?" Hiruzen asked
"Grandpa, the lava release users must be really strong if they could use all these forms then why are not they not very famous? I constantly read the Konoha newspaper and shinobi with lava release are not even mentioned in it despite there being quite a few there." Ken asked his grandpa since if a lava-release shinobi could master all the lava forms then he or she should be pretty powerful. But none of them were known till now except the four-tail jinchuriki Roshi.
Mei Terumi, the fifth Mizukage was not yet well known yet. Kurotsuchi was just a little kid right now. Dodai was not mentioned for his strength either.
"That's because not everyone has the same amount of chakra reserves as you Ken. If someone with low chakra reserves uses the lava-style Lava blanket jutsu, he would only cover a small area thus making it easy to dodge it. That's why not many lava release users master the liquid lava form which is the most dangerous of all lava forms according to me. Your chakra reserves also allow you to create clones to aid you in your training making you 6x faster."
"Another reason not many lava release users are not powerful is because of talent. Not everyone has a talent like you in ninjutsu. You took a month to learn the B-rank lava jutsu. Since your five shadow clones helped you, it would take a shinobi 6 months to train it but it is only if they are as talented as you which is unlikely. Usually, it would take at least a year and a half for someone to master a kekkei genkai jutsu. Talented ones would take less time though."
"That's why not everyone can learn every lava form but instead focus on only one or two lava forms." Hiruzen concluded his explanation
"Now train this jutsu and the other three forms of lava release. Oh before I forget, me and your dad have decided that you would be attending the academy this year." Hiruzen dropped a bomb on Ken.
