Mayuri Kurotsuchi Card Game, starting from Naruto

Chapter 16 Untitled

"It's a pity that the two modes cannot coexist, which means this technique is not yet perfect." Orochimaru was satisfied but also somewhat regretful.

Once you activate the Bloodlust set, it becomes very difficult to maintain the Static Bloodlust set.

Similarly, if you maintain a static health build, it's difficult to activate a dynamic health build.

"These are two different chakra circulation modes. To make them coexist harmoniously, it's better to use my Hundred Healings Technique and Creation Rebirth." Tsunade, who was deeply involved in the development of this technique, pointed out the problem incisively.

Both modes operate along the same meridian pathway; activating one will inevitably lead to the deactivation of the other.

It's not impossible to solve. For example, reducing the overlap of meridian pathways and dividing the body into two areas might be possible when multitasking.

Alternatively, body modification can be used to adjust the body.

However, both methods have their own drawbacks. The former requires further optimization and raises the threshold for cultivation once again; the latter involves physical modification, which is purely for adapting to the Blood Armor technique, and the upper limit of strength is easily locked.

Being able to create this technique during this time, even if it only looks like a half-finished product, is enough to satisfy Tsunade, as long as it allows people to successfully cultivate it.

She didn't want to interfere with any further optimizations. She had done her part, and now it was time to take Shizune away from the village, away from trouble and worries, for a long journey.

"Kid, give this to Might Guy." Tsunade pulled a scroll from her pocket and tossed it to Kid.

After throwing the items, without waiting for Shinobu and Orochimaru to speak, he turned around, waved his hand, called Shizune, and left the area.

"I've already examined their bodies. As long as they continue practicing the Eight Gates Formation, the strain and wear on their bodies will be constant. All I can give them is to strengthen their bodies as much as possible."

"It seems she's made up her mind to leave the village." A hint of disappointment flashed across Orochimaru's snake-like golden eyes.

He had already noticed the changes in Tsunade these past few days, and vaguely guessed her determination and purpose. After this parting, it would probably be a very, very long time before they met again.

"I'll give you two two days to adjust your condition. After two days, I'll take you out of the village for a mission." Orochimaru withdrew his gaze and said to Shika and Anko beside him.

He didn't try to persuade Tsunade to stay or offer any words of comfort. He clearly understood the mental anguish Tsunade was currently experiencing. This anguish stemmed not only from her clan but also from the Third Hokage, who was his and the three teachers' teacher.

Tsunade's departure is perhaps the best solution for the village, her clan, and herself. So what reason would Orochimaru have to stop her?

Even if the Third Hokage knew, he would only remain silent, tacitly accepting Tsunade's departure and cleaning up the mess for her.

Lu Nie didn't pay attention to the emotional fluctuations of his teacher Orochimaru at that moment; his stats had just been updated again.

[Creative Ninjutsu: New]

Name: Blood Armor

Level: A→S

Effect: The Bloodstained Armor is primarily for attack and can greatly increase the strength of the human body and ninjutsu. It needs to be activated actively.

The Blood Stasis Armor is primarily defensive, forming a chakra membrane under the skin to enhance the body's defense, providing excellent resistance to taijutsu attacks, sharp weapon attacks, and ninjutsu attacks.

Conclusion: A powerful ninjutsu that combines offense and defense, but it has a high learning threshold.

Recognition rating: 900/1000 (The higher the recognition rating, the more inspiration and rewards will be received in similar niche areas)

Rewards: Physical aptitude +3, Chakra +100 (Note: Once this physical limit is reached, the Chakra increase will be nullified)

The recognition from Tsunade and Orochimaru, two Kage-level ninjas, instantly elevated the level of approval to an extremely high level.

More inspirations related to this technique appeared in his mind at this moment, like a flash of inspiration that opened up a path forward.

Although Lu Nie's current knowledge and technology are not enough to immediately evolve this technique, or even transform it completely, at least there is a direction for improvement and adjustment.

Just like Kakashi's Chidori, there is an advanced version called Lightning Blade, as well as various derivative ninjutsu derived from it.

But looking at the explanation after the reward, Lu Nie pondered it in his mind and came to a conclusion: There is a limit to the increase in physique. When the physique can no longer be improved at the current stage, the upper limit of chakra refining and output of this body will also stop.

Of course, that might not be what it means.

After going through the thought in his mind, Lu Nie put it out of his mind for the time being. He didn't need to worry about things far in the future right now.

He is not even seven years old yet, and his body and chakra are still growing. He should not need to worry about this problem for at least the next ten years.

The quality of his talent has also been upgraded once again, which means that Lu Nie's learning and comprehension abilities have been further improved.

"Then let's disband. You've performed very well these past few days! Your talent has surprised me. If you're willing, I can share some of my research resources with you." Orochimaru looked at Shikane with admiration.

At least for now, he feels that Lu Nie suits his taste perfectly.

"May I take this ninjutsu back to my clan, Orochimaru-sensei?" Shikano asked Orochimaru as he was leaving.

"Whatever." Orochimaru didn't care at all. He enjoyed the sense of accomplishment that came from creating techniques; as for ownership, strictly speaking, he didn't care.

At least he didn't care about the Blood Armor ninjutsu.

Moreover, Lu Nie himself possessed a share of this technique, and he had the right to decide whether to hand it over, keep it as a treasure, or give it to his clansmen to practice.

Shika Nie breathed a sigh of relief after receiving Orochimaru's reply.

Don't be fooled by the fact that all the characters in the original work who have names are skilled in ninjutsu. Some, like the Second and Third Hokage and Orochimaru, even possess a wide variety of forbidden ninjutsu.

However, in reality, the circulation of ninjutsu in this world is very closed. No village would be willing to allow ninjutsu to spread unchecked.

Even at the Konoha Ninja Academy, after several years, most students only learn basic knowledge and build a foundation. The ninjutsu they learn upon graduation are only basic techniques such as the Three Body Technique.

Following the three-person team model created by the Second Hokage, three genin who graduated from the academy will be assigned to the subordinates of a jonin, forming a mission team through a mentor-apprentice system.

Of course, as a high-ranking jonin in the village, he can decide whether the three genin assigned to him can pass his test. If they fail, they have to be sent back to try again.

Another option is that outstanding individuals can choose to join the Dark Side or take on missions independently.

Might Guy earns money by taking on missions like finding cats, catching dogs, and searching for items in a solo genin mode.

But regardless of the type, there are always barriers to acquiring ninjutsu.

In a three-person team, even the instructor in charge will not easily pass on the ninjutsu they have mastered. Instead, they will provide guidance on combat experience and training.

The Anbu members need to exchange merits for ninjutsu and must consider ninjutsu coordination with their comrades.

Regardless of the type, ninja organizations, with villages at their core, strictly control the leakage and circulation of ninjutsu.

Orochimaru's response to Shiro's question signified his willingness to vouch for him and bear all potential troubles that might follow, even though the likelihood of that was slim.

But with a large tree to rely on, Lu Nie naturally chose to make the most of it and minimize any potential trouble.

Before returning home, Shiro first found Might Guy, who was training him in the village, and handed him the scroll that Tsunade had given him.

"This is Tsunade-sama's solution for you. It can't solve the aftereffects of the Eight Gates, but it can make your bodies more resilient and resilient."

"Lady Tsunade?" Might Guy and his son's faces immediately lit up with intense emotion, the feelings bursting forth from their hearts as dazzling as their exposed teeth.

Shaking his head, Lu Nie decided to slip away. Although this father and son would both become renowned figures in the future, their infectiousness and resilience were simply too powerful. He could keep in touch with them, but not for long.

After Might Guy and his father finished their emotional musings, they realized that Nirvana had already faded into the distance, his back to them. Clutching the scroll that seemed to bring him warmth, Might Guy, with tears welling in his eyes, shouted about youth, adding another hundred sets of frog jumps for himself and Might Guy beside him.

"Don't I need to go to Tsunade-sama's for lessons today?"

In Nara territory, Nara Shikakichi and Nara Yuno were slightly surprised to see their son return home so early.

The Nara Shikaku, whom they hadn't seen day or night for some time, was the Shikaku they knew. The strangeness of Shikaku had spread throughout the entire Nara region.

"The study session is over." Lu Nie looked at the lazy Lu Ji, sat down in front of him, and unconsciously yawned, propping his head up with his right hand as he answered.

"I thought your mental and physical condition far surpassed that of the rest of the Nara clan. I didn't expect you to feel tired too."

Looking at the helpless and listless expression on Shikane's face, Shikaji smiled inwardly. Finally, he could sense some of Nara's true nature in Shikane now.

"The technique was successful?"

Before Lu Nie could reply, Lu Ji asked with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

The fact that Shikanobu, Orochimaru, and Tsunade were creating a technique was no secret to the Nara clan. Orochimaru and the others had never intended to keep it a secret.

With the Shadow Coffin technique already established, the new technique of the Deer Nephew also attracted the attention of the Nara clan elders.

Once this technique is created, including for Shikayoshi, the Nara clan will definitely have the right to use and teach it. At that time, Nara Shikayoshi will also receive a portion of the clan's resources and be given more attention.

The fact that the genin named Might Guy brought a letter from Shika Nie to a pharmacy in Nara to exchange for medicinal herbs was part of the importance the elders placed on Shika Nie.

Without the Shadow Coffin as a precedent, and with Orochimaru solemnly accepting a disciple afterward, Shikaji could no longer allow Shikane to act so recklessly.

"Yes, it's a success." Lu Nie took out three scrolls from his pocket.

"This is the Eight Gates, the ninjutsu that Might Dai practiced. The Blood Armor was inspired by it. Its core concept was also extracted from it."

"This is a Bloodlust Armor, a primary offensive technique."

"This is the Bloodlust Armor, a defensive skill."

Shikaji took the Eight Gates technique, glanced at it, and then put it down, tossing it aside. It wasn't that the technique wasn't powerful, but rather that no Nara clansman would bother to learn it, no matter how powerful it was.

The sheer intensity of the training alone would make the Nara clan avoid it like the plague. Therefore, this technique, in the hands of the Nara clan, is only good for collecting and gathering dust.

Lu Ji's attention was focused on the last two reels.

He reached out and unrolled two scrolls side by side on the floor. The scrolls were covered with various meridian diagrams of the human body, along with explanations and interpretations.

The Nara clan's intelligence allowed him to read ten lines at a glance, understanding the text and content on the scroll in the shortest possible time.

Even with Nara Shikakichi's reading comprehension skills honed day after day in the Hokage's office, it still took him quite a while to decipher the rich content on the two scrolls.

The room fell silent for a moment. Lu Ji was reading quickly, while Lu Nie was lost in thought.

It was unclear how much time had passed before Lu Ji finally finished reading. He put the two reels back together, closed his eyes in deep thought, or perhaps rested for a moment.

"That's an excellent technique. It involves many aspects, and a certain level of medical knowledge is required to understand it correctly," Lu Ji remarked with some admiration.

This is a technique of mutual generation and opposition, often referred to as the spear and shield. If a suitable practitioner is found, it could create a powerful ninja at the Jonin level.

What's even more remarkable is its universality; anyone who can understand it can potentially master and learn it. Even someone a little slow can, through persistent effort, cultivate one aspect of this art to an extremely high level.

"This technique..."

"Whatever." As if knowing what his father was about to say, Lu Nie interrupted him: "These are Orochimaru-sensei's exact words."

"Really? Then we should definitely thank Lady Tsunade and Lord Orochimaru." Shikaji smiled.
