Mayuri Kurotsuchi Card Game, starting from Naruto

Chapter 6 Arrives in Succession

"I just happened to collect one or two corpses of parasites from the place you were in," Lu Nie replied to Aburame Seiji.

Upon hearing Lu Nie's answer, Aburame Qingzhi fell silent for a moment. He found it hard to believe that it was so simple and casual. To achieve this, he not only needed to be careful about the parasitic insects that he hadn't contained, but Lu Nie also needed to keep a close eye on him, whose presence was weak.

However, this explanation had no flaws. So, having obtained an answer, Aburame Seiji simply stopped asking questions, nodded nimbly to the three of them, and turned to leave.

Watching Aburame Seishi leave, Lu Nie glanced at his own panel and, sure enough, saw that the insecticide he had created had already given feedback. Looking at the field, Lu Nie then checked his talent and physical attributes panels again.

Lu Nie instantly felt his somewhat weak body regain its strength, and the stamina and chakra he had consumed in the previous battle were also replenished in that instant.

Although the panel isn't detailed, based on Lu Nie's extensive training over this period and his targeted comparisons with the physical fitness of his classmates, clansmen, and school teachers (junior and ninja), he can now make a relatively accurate judgment based on the information he's gathered, considering both the panel's display and his own growth.

Of course, since the collected information still needs to be updated in more detail, the inferences may not be entirely accurate, but the strength of a ninja is something that cannot be completely fixed or determined.

Therefore, Lu Nie can only roughly deduce his current physical fitness, chakra level, and other attributes as a ninja based on this information.

Simply put, if a student at a ninja academy is rated 10 for physical fitness, then a genin's physical fitness and chakra level would be between 10 and 100. Now, after being boosted by a cheat, his physical fitness score has reached 30+, meeting the standard for a genin.

The same applies to chakra levels; genin have between 100 and 1000 chakra, which is inferred from how many times a genin can unleash a certain level of ninjutsu.

For example, with his current chakra reserves, Lu Nie can release three clone techniques in a row, plus a shadow imitation technique that lasts for about ten minutes.

The Nara clan is not known for its chakra reserves. Among the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Akimichi clan is undoubtedly the best in terms of chakra reserves and physical abilities. The Yamanaka clan is known for its mental and sensory abilities. Apart from their brains, the Nara clan's physical abilities are generally worrying.

Even as a member of the family, Lu Nie had seen his clansmen use tonics to improve their health more than once; his father, Nara Rokichi, was one of them.

Sometimes, Shiro even believed that the Nara clan's laziness, expertise in pharmacology, and skill in helping people improve their health were all due to their own poor physical condition.

Because of poor physical condition, I am often habitually lazy.

Because of their poor physical condition, they became doctors through long-term illness and refined and experimented to develop a set of tonics suitable for the Nara clan.

Why were the Nara clan so keen on raising deer? Because every part of the deer, especially the antlers, was a treasure to the Nara clan.

While it might be an isolated case that one person has poor physical health, the fact that almost all Nara people are like this suggests that some kind of force might be at play.

For example, shadow techniques belonging to Yin Release?

Chakra in the ninja world is a power refined from the combination of spirit and body. When different chakra attributes reach a certain stage, if the physical condition or other aspects do not meet the standard, they will in turn suppress and affect the host.

Whether it's physical or mental.

For example, the Uchiha clan, whose eye techniques also originate from Yin Release, suffer from precarious mental and psychological states. Furthermore, other bloodline families also exhibit various serious bloodline diseases to varying degrees.

It can only be said that the Nara clan, who have not yet developed bloodline limits, are already quite fortunate in terms of their poor physical condition.

Without the help of a cheat system to improve his physical abilities, he would most likely be like most of his clan members, listless and unmotivated in his work.

Currently, while he may not be considered top-tier among his classmates in terms of physical fitness and chakra reserves, he has at least escaped the ranks of the worst performers.

As he develops more and more creations and gains greater recognition, his physical attributes and chakra reserves will gradually increase.

Unfortunately, only ninjas with chakra can gain recognition for Shiro's works. Otherwise, he could have created some simple and practical works that could be widely distributed to reap the benefits from the villagers and build up his stats through sheer numbers.

"Match 3: Obito Uchiha vs. Kakashi Hatake"

A loud announcement from the Wildcard Treeman startled Lu Nie, who was engrossed in viewing the panel, and he looked at the field with great interest.

Although he knew that Kakashi Hatake would definitely win the battle, and that Obito Uchiha wouldn't be able to force Kakashi to reveal much of his strength, he still found something about both of them that interested him.

……

The Hokage's office.

After finishing his official duties and taking a break, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was observing the assessment on the field using his telescope.

Having given speeches at schools, he discovered several promising talents from commoner families and small ninja clans. Although these students, who weren't even genin, showed numerous shortcomings in their combat, as the Hokage, he could still make appropriate arrangements for them during future class assignments based on their performance.

For example, which children can be led by Jonin, which children will be led by Chunin, and which children need attention and training, etc. Although the school teachers collect student grades and other information, he will also take a break from his busy schedule to keep track of everything.

"Your son, Nara Shikanehira, is doing very well."

At this moment, the battle between Nara Shikanobu and Aburame Aoshi had just ended. Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had watched the entire battle, put down his pipe and smiled at Nara Shikakichi, who was helping him with official business.

"Not at all, Hokage-sama, you flatter me." Nara Shikakichi shook his head, quickly processing the documents at hand, making annotations on them one by one, and setting them aside after finishing, waiting for the Hokage's review and decision, all while humbly saying this.

Nara Shikakichi was somewhat unsure about his son. It seemed that after learning the clan's secret ninjutsu, he hadn't become as lazy and lethargic as other young children in the clan. It appeared his body had perfectly shouldered the burden of the Shadow Technique.

Although he wasn't always full of energy, compared to the other children in his clan who were always looking for a place to lie down and rest, Lu Nie's behavior was undoubtedly that of a normal person.

"Judging from his performance in battle, he has already become a qualified genin. He is intelligent and capable, and almost every move of his opponent is within his calculations."

"A standard Nara-style battle." Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke, his face partially obscured by the smoke, his tone full of admiration.

The Ino-Shika-Cho clan is his biggest supporter as Hokage. In terms of overall clan strength, they may not be as strong as the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, but the members of the three clans have irreplaceable advantages in many positions, just like the Hyuga Byakugan, thanks to their clan secret techniques and characteristics!

As the brains of the three clans, the Nara clan can handle complex official duties with great efficiency and also serve as a strategist during wartime. The women of the Nara clan are also generally highly skilled in pharmacology and medical ninjutsu, forming the cornerstone of the medical department.

The Akimichi clan has Akimichi Torifu, who is also a second-generation disciple. Their family secret technique, the Multiplication Technique, can be used effectively in battle, especially in large-scale wars, and can have a destructive power similar to that of a large summoned beast.

The Yamanaka clan is skilled at using their family's secret techniques to interrogate and extract information, and most of their members work in the interrogation department and the secret service.

Regardless of the fact that Shirane is a direct descendant of his own Ironclad Clan, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt that his performance on the field alone deserved praise.

The ability to use the Shadow Imitation Technique and the Shadow Head-Strike Technique consecutively at the age of six is ​​already astonishing. What surprised Hiruzen Sarutobi even more was the sudden mass death of the Aburame clan's insects.

Judging from his actions, Hiruzen Sarutobi could roughly guess what methods Shinobu had used, but this very possibility made him somewhat uncertain.

"Has the Nara clan's insecticide already affected the Aburame clan's parasitic insects?" After pondering for a moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked Nara Shikakichi, who was standing next to him.

"Insecticide?" Nara Shikakichi shook his head under the watchful gaze of the Third Hokage as he looked at the disturbing scene of insect corpses scattered on the ground in the crystal ball.

"I'll probably have to go home and ask Yuno about that. She's the one who handles things related to medicine in the family."

The Third Hokage nodded upon hearing this and did not pursue the matter further. He was merely curious about Shikano's methods, and he didn't mind not receiving an immediate, definite answer from Nara Shikakichi.

Perhaps the Aburame clan is more interested in the formula and information of this medicine that can kill parasites than he is.

As for the conflict between the two families, the Third Hokage never even considered that possibility.

Because making insecticides was not the main business of the Nara clan, these so-called insecticides were even dispensable compared to the sale of medicinal herbs and medicines.

The insects of the Aburame clan are not so fragile. Parasitic insects are just one type of insect they breed under contract, and they can also cultivate and evolve targeted antibodies in a short period of time.

After reviewing the next few practical exams, the Third Hokage immediately deactivated the telescope and resumed dealing with the backlog of tasks.

After World War II ended, Konoha received a considerable number of mission orders. These orders almost filled the entire Konoha ninja force. Apart from the necessary guards who remained in the village, almost all of Konoha's ninjas have been working tirelessly to accept and complete missions for the past two years.

Meanwhile, other ninja villages, having lost a large number of ninjas of all ranks due to the great battle, withdrew their claws and licked their wounds in their respective villages.

The end of the Fourth Shinobi World War also revitalized the merchants of various countries. Konoha took the largest share of the profits, while the other major ninja villages, after being depleted by the war, each obtained enough funds to feed themselves and rebuild their strength.

Although the various ninja villages are still engaged in fighting and conflict due to missions, and the atmosphere is tense, it is not yet to the point that the Third Shinobi World War will break out immediately before the villages have had a chance to recover.

It can be said that this was a rare period of peaceful development after World War II.

Having regained ample funds, Hiruzen Sarutobi, amidst the post-war boom in ninja missions and the accumulation of substantial village funds, once again recognized the importance of medical ninjas. Finally, following Tsunade's request, he invested a large sum of money to fully establish the medical department.

At this very moment, a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair was wandering silently along the village street where there was a hot spring, seemingly scouting the area.

Just as he found a great spot and was about to peer inside, a somewhat hoarse voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"You're still the same as always, Jiraiya!"

The sudden sound did not frighten the white-haired man. As if he had already guessed that there was someone behind him and who that person was, Jiraiya peered into the hole he had found several times before reluctantly standing up, turning around and exchanging a glance with the pale-faced man in white robes behind him.

"Long time no see, Orochimaru. Didn't Tsunade come with you?" Jiraiya asked, his arms behind his head, a hint of joy on his face.

"She's currently numbing herself with her work in the medical department and alcohol."
