Time passed quickly, and now Dan's eldest child, Sam Rin's firstborn has turned exactly six years old. This age is the specific point Dan decided his children who reached the appropriate age would begin the formal training program he had carefully designed for them a while ago. The plan Dan designed for training his children is perfect in his estimation: accurately balanced between the strictness necessary to build a strong foundation and the caution required not to harm their natural growth at a young age. He will start applying it very soon to Sam and the children who have reached the appropriate age.
?Currently, however, Dan is heavily preoccupied with two very important matters occupying most of his research and development time. The first is the barrier plan he has been working on for a long time. He has finally come very close to mastering this complex technique after years of research, experiments, and constant adjustments. He successfully merged the Web technique with the seal system effectively, and recent experiments give excellent and stable results. He is confident that within a few weeks at most, he will be ready to apply the barrier to his entire base area much better.
?The second and more exciting matter for Dan currently is that he has begun inventing a very advanced close-combat style—a special type of Taijutsu specifically designed to suit his unique condition. It is suitable for his unrivaled superhuman chakra control thanks to his Kekkei Genkai and years of intensive training, and also suitable for his massive physical strength built over the years in the depths under immense pressure.
?This new style he is developing relies on a complex and slightly strange basic principle: concentrating chakra massively and focally at specific attack points such as the fist, foot, knee, or elbow. The important part is the point through which the attack occurs; at this specific point, Dan condenses a very huge amount of chakra into a very small volume, creating extreme density in that specific area of his body.
?Because of this great and exceptional density of compressed chakra in a small space, a real physical gravitational effect is achieved—like a small gravity emitting from the point of attack. This gravitational effect makes the attack itself much faster than a normal attack because gravity pulls the fist or foot toward the target; the speed increases more and more as it approaches the target due to the increased attraction effect with close distance. Also, this small gravity affects the opponent themselves and their movement speed because the attraction effect pulls them toward the attack and makes evading it much harder. Of course, all this is in addition to the massive increase in the strike's power itself due to the high density of concentrated chakra.
?Although Dan has not yet succeeded in fully mastering this new and complex technique, he trains on it intensely and continuously every day. He chose an area relatively far from his base in the surrounding mountains where he can train with full power without fear of hurting anyone, as his training on this technique causes clear destruction in the surrounding area. Every strike he releases with the new technique creates a violent shock that might uproot the surrounding mountains and create massive cracks and trenches. Even his children and women at the base feel a light earthquake under their feet due to the power of his training several kilometers away.

?The real difficulty in this technique was not in applying it once with full focus and without haste—Dan can already do that successfully—but the real difficulty is that he must be able to use it quickly and automatically in a fast-paced fight where there is no time for long preparation or deep focus. Every time he wants to use this attack, chakra must be instantly concentrated and condensed on a specific area of the body, whether the right or left fist, the foot, or any other part. This requires very fast and precise control that is difficult to achieve in the heat of battle.
?Therefore, in order to master this complex technique and reach the level of practical use in real combat, it will take a long time, continuous practice, and great patience. Dan knows this well and was in no hurry; he had enough time thanks to his extended lifespan, and he is confident that with continuous daily practice, he will eventually master it.
?Despite being difficult, such a technique is worth all the effort and time spent on it. Dan understands its exceptional power and danger; he knows that when he masters it fully, it will make every fist, kick, or any close attack from him very dangerous and incredibly destructive. He sees its effects during training: one strike capable of vaporizing an entire area, uprooting the earth's crust, and destroying it completely. The massive power will make him a weapon of mass destruction himself.
?Dan sometimes thinks while training that this technique will be one of his powerful secret weapons in the future, especially in the era of ninja villages where diverse techniques will flourish and Taijutsu will not be relied upon much. With this new style, Dan's close strikes will become more dangerous than most long-range and even close-range techniques. This will give him a very large tactical advantage in close combat because he knows that the highest levels of power in this world—the Otsutsuki—usually engage in close combat, and Ninjutsu's usefulness decreases greatly due to their ability to absorb attacks based on it for the most part.
?He also intends in the future to teach this style only to the elite of his children and grandchildren when they grow up and become strong enough—especially those who will inherit his Kekkei Genkai and possess superhuman chakra control. For them, this technique will be learnable and masterable, becoming part of the unique combat legacy of the Walt family.
?Dan returned from his training area in the mountains a bit tired but satisfied with the progress he made in the new technique. He found his children waiting for him as usual, running toward him with enthusiasm and joy with small, beautiful smiles. He carried them one by one for a few moments before sending them to sleep. Then he sat with his women for a short period, listened to reports of their day and how their training progressed, then headed to his lab as usual to review his notes on the barrier and plan the next day of his training.
