Mayuri Kurotsuchi Card Game, starting from Naruto

Chapter 49 Encounter

[Creative Ninjutsu: New]

Name: Shadow Puppet

Level: A (S)

Mutation: With the blessing of Shadow Escape Bloodline Limit, the ninjutsu level will be upgraded to Bloodline Limit Ninjutsu.

Effect: By imbuing shadows with the power of Yin Release, it has the ability to transfer one's consciousness into the shadow, invade people's minds, control people's bodies, and distort people's will.

Within a certain range, the controlled person can be manipulated like a puppet according to one's will. The closer the person is to the caster, the stronger the control effect. The farther the person is from the caster, the weaker the control effect.

Effect Two: The shadow is transferred to another body, as if the mind were to turn. The caster's spirit suppresses the opponent's mind, and the shadow's nerves replace the body's nerves.

This mode has the ability to forcefully control and absolutely execute the possessed body until its chakra is exhausted.

Conclusion: An unconventional and ultimate form of Yin Release. The stronger the soul, the more powerful the technique's effect.

Recognition: 3010/10000 (Ninjas who die from this technique will have their recognition increased as they experience its power.)

Rewards: Physical aptitude +10, Chakra +500 (Note: Once this physical limit is reached, the Chakra increase will be nullified)

The only positive aspect of the series of encounters was that it helped Lu Nie increase his approval rating for the Shadow Puppet Technique. This made him more adept and flexible in applying the technique.

The most criticized aspect of the Nara family's shadow techniques in battle is that, against agility-based ninjas, once the secret of the shadows is noticed, it becomes very difficult to be caught off guard and controlled.

The activation and signs of the shadow are too obvious in the light, and in reality, its manipulation can only be limited to the shadow of oneself, which is infused with one's own chakra.

Therefore, the Nara clan's secret techniques require the cooperation of others on the battlefield.

With the Shadow Release bloodline limit, Lu Nie takes it a step further, as he can temporarily transfer his Yin Release power to other shadows, not just his own.

Of course, doing so will reduce control over the shadow and prevent it from lasting. But in crucial moments, this ability can often be the decisive factor.

When sparring with Shisui, Lu Nie calculated and sensed where Shisui would land while chasing him, and controlled a slightly shadowy area with his Yin Release power.

Then, using shadows and ninjutsu, Shisui was driven into the shadow trap.

Doing this is not easy, especially when facing the Sharingan. Performing this series of operations requires even more precise control, disguise, and deception.

Now that Shisui has a better understanding of the Shadow Cloak technique, he will no longer suffer from a lack of information as he did at the beginning.

……

"Roy's squad has also disappeared? Damn it! Did Konoha's reinforcements arrive so quickly?" In the Cloud Village's temporary camp, the Third Raikage's son's still somewhat immature face was filled with rage.

Ever since that blond-haired man arrived with his men, his squad has suffered a series of mission failures.

The enemy was incredibly fast and possessed the ability to move personnel and supplies. He engaged them twice, and each time he was outmaneuvered by their supposedly superior speed.

If he hadn't honed his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to the point where he could wrap lightning around his entire body and cover every inch of his skin with Lightning Release Armor, he would have suffered at least considerable damage from that blond-haired man.

What's even more troublesome is that simply ganging up on the blond man is completely ineffective; if you're not careful, he might seize an opportunity and kill you in an instant.

Other Cloud Village ninjas didn't have his powerful defense, nor could they keep up with his speed.

After several encounters, because the opponent came and went like the wind and his name was unknown, the Cloud Village ninjas all called him the Yellow Flash.

A and his brother Killer Bee, along with a small group of elite Jonin, are currently focused on chasing the Yellow Flash, leaving him no time for anything else.

The remaining Cloud Hidden troops dispersed to continue their mission of collecting food and supplies.

"They can't escape! Although yesterday's heavy rain washed away many traces, their location is still certain. Yukito has already led men to deal with them."

The speaker was a stern-faced ninja, the Third Raikage's right-hand man, a Jonin named Tsuchida, who was specially dispatched by the Third Raikage after learning that the mission was not going well.

He calmed the somewhat agitated Ai: "Our top priority right now is to figure out how to deal with that yellow flash. With him around, we can't carry out our plan."

"I understand." He still respected the young Ai from the earth platform. At present, only he and Killer Bee could fight and entangle with the Yellow Flash.

However, if the two of them joined forces, let alone capture the other, they might even be caught off guard and attacked.

"Execute the plan. This time I brought an entire sealing squad. As long as you hold him off, the sealing squad will try to use sealing techniques to see if they can take him down."

"I can't stay here too long. The situation on Raikage's side isn't good either." Tsuchida said with some worry. One unexpected thing after another had happened to the originally good plan, causing the whole plan to fall apart and become unrecognizable.

"Is that Rasa really that powerful? Even Father couldn't..." Young Ai frowned. He had no liking for Rasa, who had suddenly shone on the battlefield, making the Raikage and Kumogakure look like mere background figures.

"Rasa's techniques are perfect for the battlefield. His wide-range attacks allow him to easily suppress many Cloud Village troops on his own. Moreover, he can fly and is skilled in Wind Release, which is somewhat effective against the Raikage's Lightning Release."

On the battlefield, he was undoubtedly a born meat grinder. Tu Tai still felt lingering fear when he thought of the golden sand waves surging and crashing like ocean waves.

Even the Third Raikage, who had compressed his Lightning Release Armor to its limit and tempered his body to the extreme with Lightning Release, could hardly move an inch in the surging, heavy waves of golden sand. He couldn't unleash his thrusting speed mode and could only struggle to break through the immense pressure to ensure his own safety.

The enemy couldn't do anything to them, and they were no longer able to push the battlefield into the heart of Sunagakure. The battle became tense for a time.

The current competition is about who can hold out the longest, and whether there will be an external force powerful enough to change the situation.

At least for now, a shadow hangs over Tu Tai's heart.

……

"Six people, one of whom possesses a very powerful chakra."

Just as Lu Nie finished his report, a dense barrage of blue fireballs swept in from the front. Before they even got close, the intense heat emanating from the fireballs created a hazy, swirling sensation in the surrounding air.

Zhi Shui immediately used the water array wall to block the dense fireballs and then retreated.

Then, in the next moment, a brisk voice accompanied by a slender figure descended from the sky and landed opposite Lu Nie and the other two.

Seeing the three of them, Lu Nie and his companions, looking as if facing a formidable enemy, the newcomer grinned arrogantly, saying like a cat toying with mice, "Gotcha, you little mice!"
