Chapter 123: Completing the Basics
🕑 Added 2023-10-08 06:07:23 +0000 UTCDing! Successfully recruited a C-ranked ninja, Ninja Academy Student - Uzumaki Naruto.
The system interface immediately displayed a young Naruto Uzumaki, holding a brush, wearing protective goggles, and a bright orange coat.
Although he was a C-ranked ninja and still in one of the weaker stages among many Narutos, he was part of the main character group, and he was also the reincarnation of Asura, so no one would reject him.
Charles opened the ninja details, and the first thing he checked was Naruto's ninja skills.
Ninja Academy Student - Uzumaki Naruto: C-ranked ninja
Skills: Prank with Paint, Shadow Clone - Double Strike, Harem Jutsu.
Prank with Paint: Naruto uses paint from his hand to splash forward, creating a paint stain on the ground. (Splashing an enemy will slow them down for three seconds, and the paint stain on the ground will also slow down enemies.)
Shadow Clone - Double Strike: Naruto summons a clone to send the enemy flying into the air, then the original Naruto delivers the final blow to knock the enemy down. (There is a chance for the Shadow Clone jutsu to fail... Note: This is a game skill, and the Shadow Clone has attacking capabilities, similar to the Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu, but weaker...)
Harem Jutsu: Naruto uses multiple clones to transform into beautiful women and rushes toward the enemy for a mental "attack."
Seeing Naruto's three skills, the first one could slow down enemies, the second was the Shadow Clone jutsu, and the third was a transformation jutsu, Charles was thrilled.
These were the basic three ninja skills, and he finally had them. All three skills had been modified, with the Shadow Clone jutsu being the most significant change. He didn't even need to mention the Transformation jutsu; it was practically divine.
Even the Shadow Clone jutsu was different now; it could attack the enemy. It was like a weaker version of the Multi Shadow Clone jutsu from the Naruto world. The original Shadow Clone was just an illusion without any actual attack capabilities.
As for the third jutsu, the Transformation jutsu, Charles would have to test it in the training ground to see if he could transform into something other than a girl. If he could only transform into a girl, Charles would never use the Harem Jutsu.
However, Charles was very satisfied with the modified Shadow Clone jutsu. Although Ninja Academy Student Naruto was very weak in terms of power, the completion of the basic three skills was very useful.
It made infiltration much more convenient, which would greatly help his future plans.
However, with Naruto's arrival, Charles's available battle slots would once again be filled. Recruiting Tsunade became a distant goal, and the search for recharge items became urgent.
Looking at his 6296 gold coins, Charles decided to postpone recruiting more ninjas for now. He didn't want his luck to suddenly run out after the explosive luck he had opening treasure chests today. He wanted to play it safe.
After claiming the ninja, Charles's chakra in his body once again increased slightly. At the same time, the three active skills of Ninja Academy Student - Uzumaki Naruto appeared in his mind.
His chances of using Chidori had increased three more times. Charles was one step closer to the level of a Chunin. While he still couldn't compare to some bloodline talents in terms of chakra reserves, overall, he was now much stronger than an ordinary Jonin.
With this in mind, Charles shifted his focus to the ninja fragments he had gained. When he saw Hidan appear once again, as well as the long-awaited Kakashi Hatake, Charles had a premonition that he might recruit these two ninjas before Tsunade.
Immortal Hidan and Young Jonin Kakashi Hatake.
He collected all the rewards from the treasure chest and didn't rush to add ninjas to his lineup. Instead, he chose to enter the training ground to test his three new skills.
Arriving at the training ground, Charles immediately used Naruto's skill, Shadow Clone - Double Strike. In an instant, a clone of Charles appeared in front of him, attacking the air ahead. Then, Charles himself jumped up to attack, and the clone behind him dissipated.
After experiencing the built-in moves of the skills, Charles proceeded to deconstruct the skills.
For him, this skill wasn't very useful as an attacking skill. The appearance of the modified Shadow Clone jutsu was much more important.
"Ninjutsu - Shadow Clone Jutsu."
The next moment, a clone appeared beside Charles. Their viewpoints instantly exchanged, and their thoughts were connected. Charles realized that he could control every action of this clone, even its attacks.
However, the clone's existence was brief. It would disappear when attacked, and it wouldn't transfer any memories back to the original like the Shadow Clone jutsu did.
When summoned, it would be assigned a task and would automatically dissipate after a set time, without transmitting any memories. If attacked, it would also vanish completely.
The only difference was that the clone had the power of one strike, just one strike.
With only the ability to perform one attack, Charles was still very satisfied and nodded approvingly.
Recalling the secret technique of Ninja Academy Student Naruto, Charles didn't immediately use the Harem Jutsu. Instead, he attempted to create multiple clones.
With Charles's chakra reserves, he instantly created dozens of clones, all identical to himself.
Charles struck a combat pose, and all the clones followed suit, making the field a perfectly uniform sight. He realized that he could use these clones as a weaker version of the Multi Shadow Clone jutsu, each capable of delivering a single strike.
One strike was still significant.
"Boom!"
A puff of smoke dispersed, and all the clones on the field vanished. Charles then began to contemplate the principles of the Transformation jutsu.
While the Harem Jutsu was a variant of the Transformation jutsu, both were fundamentally transformation techniques. Others transformed into different targets, while Naruto transformed into beautiful women.
Through step-by-step experimentation, Charles found that he could also transform into the likeness of another person based on his familiarity with them.
However, he also discovered the downside of the Transformation jutsu. He couldn't achieve the same level of perfection as the shape-shifting abilities of someone like Mystique from the X-Men, who could perfectly mimic someone down to the minutest detail, including fingerprints and retinal scans.
In Charles's case, he needed detailed information about the person, such as their fingerprint patterns, iris patterns, voice, and body posture data, to achieve a one-to-one resemblance.
Otherwise, he could only achieve a similar appearance. When confronted with technologies that required fingerprint scans, iris scans, or even more advanced blood scans, the Transformation jutsu could only deceive the enemy's naked eye and couldn't deceive technology.
However, even achieving such an effect was quite remarkable. After all, with the Sharingan, he only needed to glance at someone to obtain their body posture data. With this ability, Charles's Transformation jutsu was already quite powerful.
At this point, the three jutsu had been completely mastered!
