Divine Frost: Corrupting the Bleach Realm

Chapter 2: Information Gathering

Inside a small room, two young children were sitting opposite of each other with their eyes closed and in a crossed-legged position, making it look like they were meditating.

They held this position for a few minutes longer before they opened their eyes simultaneously and sighed in frustration.

"Yeah, this isn't working out at all, nee-san."

"Yup, not at all. It's laughable how thin the Nature Energy in this place is, making cultivation beyond frustrating."

Cultivation is the act of absorbing the energy naturally produced by the world itself and making it your own. In Yuna's previous life, she lived in Konoha, a city surrounded by forests, offering her plenty of Natural Energy to cultivate. Well, she usually went to the world's highest mountain to cultivate as she was more aligned with ice than the forest, but that is beside the point.

Currently, Yuna and Naruto were located smack in the middle of the city. A snowstorm is part of nature, and so is a forest, but a concrete city is unfortunately not. There was so little Natural Energy in the air, that it was even enough for one person to use.

Well, both of them were at an age where an average child shouldn't cultivate yet, so they weren't precisely wasting their potential, but it was still a little annoying that they could only advance at a snail's crawl.

"Haa~ How frustrating. We really need to move somewhere else as soon as we can."

Naruto could only smile wryly when he heard that. In their previous life, Yuna managed to finesse them into a new home despite only being three years old, but the circumstances were completely different this time. It all boiled down to one thing:

"Haa~ I miss the [Henge-no-Jutsu]~"

Yes, in their previous life, a convenient technique could transform them into another person. Unfortunately, that technique was fueled by chakra, a energy that didn't exist here.

"Any advancement on figuring out a working rune language, Naruto?"

In Yuna's first life, there was a technique to draw runes to get the desired effect. There was basically no limit to what could be done, making it an incredibly versatile craft. In her second life, those runes were called seals instead. Despite using different words and symbols, the effects that could be produced were pretty much on the same scale.

So, Naruto had spent a lot of time experimenting with different techniques to determine if this world had a similar system and, if it had, how it worked. However, when Naruto heard Yuna's question, he could only smile wryly.

"It going slow. Very slow. The fact that I barely have any energy to experiment isn't helping this matter either. Have you figured anything out, nee-san?"
