Naruto: Experience Pain, Start by Copying the Entire Shinobi World

Sakuya Chigen practically fled the Hokage Building.

After walking through several streets and alleys and making sure that none of the curious kids from the Water Gate troupe were following him, he finally plunged into his simple little courtyard.

With a bang, Qianxuan slammed the door shut, leaned against the door panel, and let out a long breath.

The Chunin Exams... and I'm still with that genius Kakashi Hatake.

That old man, the Third Hokage, definitely did it on purpose.

He could already picture the scene on the day of the assessment, when all the villagers of Konoha would come to watch the spectacle.

"Look, it's that super repeat student! He's actually going to take the exam with Lord Kakashi!"

"Isn't this just inviting humiliation?"

I'm so annoying.

What's so good about being a ninja?

The missions jump directly from D-rank and C-rank to B-rank and even A-rank, and the opponents change from wandering samurai and bandits to well-trained ninjas from other countries.

The little bit of salary increase, is it enough to buy a few explosive tags?

This is practically trading one's lifespan for a salary.

He just wanted to live a peaceful life until the end of the Third Shinobi World War, then find a way to win Tsunade's heart and live a retired life of drinking and counting his savings.

"system."

Qianxuan silently recited in his heart.

A pale blue light screen, visible only to him, unfolded before his eyes.

[Host: Shuo Ye Qianxuan]

[Secret Technique: Asura Mode (Original)]

Evolution Points (EP): 3500

[Ding! C-rank mission "Investigate the Border of the Land of Earth" successfully completed. Mission rating: Perfect. Reward: 1000 EP points.]

Looking at the points he had accumulated over a long period of time, Qianxuan's frustration finally subsided somewhat.

That's his confidence.

"System, draw a prize."

Each draw costs 1000 EP. Confirm?

"confirm."

The light screen in front of me changed instantly, and a huge wheel began to spin rapidly.

The prizes on the roulette wheel are incredibly varied, ranging from "Ichiraku Ramen Lifetime All-You-Can-Eat Coupon" to "Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan," and even something as devastating as "Ryujin Jakka."

Of course, after drawing so many times, the best thing Qianxuan got was a kunai that could cut through iron like mud.

The pointer slowed down, swinging back and forth between "Thank you for your patronage" and a glowing golden skill icon.

Qianxuan's heart was in his throat.

Please, please, don't just say "thank you for your patronage," give me something useful!

The pointer finally came to a halt, trembling, on that ball of golden light.

[Congratulations, host! You have acquired the rare skill—[Recovery]!]

[Skill Description: At the cost of consuming the user's own chakra, this skill can restore the target's condition to its optimal state before the injury.]

[Skill Effect 1: During the healing process, the host will experience all the pain and memories of the other person when they were injured in complete synchronization.]

[Skill Effect 2: Each time a ninja with a special ability or bloodline limit is successfully healed, the host will have a certain chance to copy one of the ninja's abilities or talents. (Note: The same target can only be copied once.)]

Qianxuan was stunned.

His first reaction wasn't elation, but a chill ran down his spine.

To experience the other person's pain?

If you were to treat someone who had been tortured to death, wouldn't you have to experience it yourself?

But then he noticed the second special effect.

The ability to replicate...?

That's simply divine skill!

His meager chakra reserves have always been a source of anxiety. While "Asura Mode" boasts explosive power, it consumes a tremendous amount of energy, making it no different from charging for five minutes and then talking for two seconds.

If one could copy someone else's talent, such as the Uzumaki clan's vast chakra or the Senju clan's Sage Body...

He even thought about things further afield.

If Tsunade is treated, can her superhuman strength be replicated?

If we were to treat the Uchiha... cough cough, the risk is too high.

This skill, if used well, is a ladder to the pinnacle of the ninja world; if used poorly, it's a mental torture device that will kill you.

But in any case, having it increased their chances of survival in the impending war.

……

Inside the Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze had already left with his disciples, leaving only Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo emerging from the shadows.

The atmosphere inside was even more somber than before.

"Orochimaru's experiments must be stopped."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice carried a hint of weariness.

In the end, he still couldn't bring himself to kill his own disciple.

"The risks of transplanting first-generation cells are too great. So many children have sacrificed their lives, yet there are no signs of success. We can't continue."

Danzo leaned on his cane, his face expressionless.

"Hiruzen, sacrifices are necessary for the strength of Konoha. You're still so naive."

"This isn't naivety, it's a bottom line!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone turned stern.

"In the name of the Hokage, I order you to immediately terminate all cooperation with Orochimaru and destroy all experimental data!"

Danzo narrowed his eyes, hidden beneath bandages, but ultimately nodded.

"……I see."

He agreed verbally, but inwardly he sneered.

stop?

How could that be?

The power to quell the chaos of the world was what the First Hokage pursued throughout his life.

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to see through his thoughts, but he didn't point it out.

He changed the subject.

"Kakashi Hatake is a promising talent."

"That's right."

Danzo immediately replied,

"His resilient character makes him excellent material to become a 'root.' Entrust him to me, and I will train him into the sharpest blade."

"No!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi refused without even thinking.

"Kakashi is the future of Konoha, not a tool in your shadow! He should choose his own path, not be molded into an emotionless weapon by you."

Danzo's face darkened when he was refuted to his face.

"Womanly compassion."

He snorted coldly.

"Then, what about that kid named Sakuya Chigen? His secret technique can unleash tremendous power in an instant. Although he has the drawback of having a small amount of chakra, he is perfect as a surprise weapon. Give him to me, and I can make him reach his full potential."

"That won't do either!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's attitude became increasingly resolute.

"Qianxuan has gotten this far entirely through his own perseverance. I won't let you ruin him."

After being rejected twice in a row, the air in the office almost froze.

Danzo exuded a chilling aura as he stared intently at Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Hiruzen, you're weakening Konoha's strength! The four great ninja villages are about to attack Konoha, and you're still protecting these so-called 'new sprouts'!"

"Protecting them is protecting the future of Konoha."

Hiruzen Sarutobi refused to back down.

Shuo Ye Qianxuan had no idea that he had just narrowly escaped death.

He was lying in bed, contemplating the future.

This is not a joke.

Kannabi Bridge, Kikyo Mountain, the battlefield of the Land of Grass... Familiar yet deadly place names flashed through his mind.

Countless geniuses and powerful figures will perish in that war.

He must survive.

At the very least, I must live to see the Nine-Tails' rampage and witness firsthand the night that changed the entire ninja world.

The newly acquired reply gave him some confidence, but it wasn't enough.

Faced with absolute power, any scheme seems pale in comparison.

He needs to become stronger, strong enough to handle any unexpected situation.

The Chunin Exams might... also be an opportunity.

This is an opportunity for him to reasonably showcase some of his abilities, gain more resources, and also take the opportunity to "replicate" some useful skills.

For example, Kakashi's...

……

Meanwhile, Shimura Danzo, who had just left the Hokage Building, had a face so dark it could drip water.

Two masked Root ninjas appeared silently behind him.

"Lord Danzo."

Danzo stopped in his tracks without turning around, his voice sounding as if it came from hell.

"Shuo Ye Qian Xuan".

"Go, find all the information about this person for me. His background, his relationships, his abilities—don't miss a single detail."

"Yes."

"in addition……"

Danzo's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Isn't this Chunin Exam supposed to test his strength?"

"Send someone to arrange a special 'test' for him. I want to see for myself just how much this 'genius' that Hiruzen values ​​so highly really is."

"yes!"

The two Root ninjas flashed and disappeared back into the darkness.

A cold wind blew by as Danzo, leaning on his cane, walked step by step into the deepest shadows of Konoha.

If you can't have it, then destroy it.

He never allows any pieces that are not under his control to exist on the chessboard.
