Mayuri Kurotsuchi Card Game, starting from Naruto

Chapter 68 Red Bean's Bloodline

"You've wasted another opportunity, so according to the contract," Lu Nie said, looking at the letter.

"What part of my body do you want this time?" Xin asked through gritted teeth.

"There's no rush. Let me consult with Orochimaru-sensei first." Shiro shook his head. Shin was an experimental subject valued by Orochimaru; he was only responsible for teaching him.

Time passed day by day.

The atmosphere in the ninja world is increasingly resembling a powder keg.

Although the war has not yet reached Konoha, the arrival of a new Shinobi World War is a fact that even ordinary villagers already know.

Because merchants who used to frequent Konoha during peacetime have reduced their visits, Konoha's economy has been negatively impacted.

Many ninjas have also reduced the frequency of taking on escort missions outside the village, and instead have taken on the task of guarding the village and the interior of the Land of Fire.

Aside from tirelessly creating the tail seal according to the tasks assigned by the Hokage Building, Lu Nie's daily routine involves occasionally taking some time to update Anko's physical data and prepare for her next stage of strengthening.

"Deer Nie, I have finally mastered the power of the fat cat!"

That day, Hongdou, dragging Zhishui along, rushed excitedly into the technology development department and blocked Lu Nie in the laboratory.

The cat she called Fat Cat gave her a cold glance from the corner, hesitated between the food at its feet and the red beans, and decided to enjoy the food first.

The cat food that Lu Nie made specifically for its taste was quite satisfying. At least, it could feel its strength gradually increasing.

As a tailed beast, this was simply beyond its understanding and knowledge over the past thousand years!

For tailed beasts, the one with more tails is stronger! Even when they exchange Tailed Beast Balls, the power of the Tailed Beast Ball depends on the number of tails.

"Oh?" Lu Nie, whose experiment had been interrupted, wasn't angry. Hongdou and Shisui knew his habits and schedule well, and knew that he was currently in the laboratory working on the tail seal.

"Let's go to the training ground." Seeing Hongdou's excitement and eagerness, Lu Nie put down his work for the time being and said to Hongdou.

The three arrived at the training ground used for testing near the technology development department. Without Lu Nie urging her, Hongdou couldn't wait to take the initiative to show off her results.

Blue flames appeared on Hongdou's body. As Hongdou ran and sprinted across the training field, the blue scale-like flames, like a slowly emerging blue fire dragon, were scattered and floated in mid-air.

As Hongdou's running figure came to a stop on the ground, a smug smile appeared on her face.

boom!

The blue flames floating in mid-air seemed to receive a command as Hongdou moved, and they exploded one by one in mid-air.

Even Lu Nie and Zhi Shui, who were standing outside the training field, felt the intense heat cause their bodies to lose moisture instantly.

If a ninja were in the center of the explosion without any protection, he would likely be severely injured or even killed instantly by the high temperature and explosion.

"This technique?" Shisui, who was seeing it for the first time, widened his eyes in surprise. Even the Uchiha, who was skilled in fire release, had never seen a fire release technique that delayed the explosion like this.

In particular, it seems that the red bean has only formed one Yin seal.

"It's a bloodline limit." Shiki felt it more clearly than Shisui.

Shisui's eyes instantly turned blood red, and the three tomoe rotated slightly in her eye sockets. "It does feel different from her usual chakra."

"How was it? How was it?" Red Bean rushed up excitedly, stood with her hands on her hips in front of Lu Nie and Zhi Shui, and asked with her head held high.

After holding it in for so long, she finally stood up in front of her two freakish teammates.

"You've awakened your bloodline limit?" Shisui asked Anko with a smile.

Unlike other members of the Uchiha clan, Shisui was calm and composed, yet also possessed a remarkably sensitive psyche. As Anko's companion, he could clearly perceive her inner turmoil and thoughts, and he also understood her strong will.

Seeing Hongdou so happy right now, I feel happy for her too.

"I don't know how I did it." Hongdou scratched her head. Although she wasn't stupid, she really couldn't remember how she succeeded when she was in a daze.

"A bloodline limit similar to Scorch Release?" Shika Nie thought for a moment. The Fire Release technique that Anko had just displayed was quite similar to that of the Two-Tailed Cat.

Is it because Anko referenced Nekomata's chakra and awakened a similar bloodline limit?

This is not impossible.

There are several bloodline limits in the ninja world, which were developed and created with reference to the power of tailed beasts.

For example, the Third Kazekage of Sunagakure, who is known as the strongest Kazekage, made his famous bloodline limit Magnet Release by referencing the power of Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast of Sunagakure.

The Hidden Stone Village also possesses bloodline powers such as Lava Release.

Even some ninjutsu techniques from various villages have drawn inspiration from the tailed beasts.

"My bloodline limit is the control of flames, is it also a type of scorching release?" Anko asked, somewhat bewildered.

"Control of flames?" Shisui glanced sideways and, seeing Anko's curious look, explained, "In the Uchiha clan records, there was an Uchiha ancestor who possessed a similar power. That ancestor called this ability Fire Release."

"Could you demonstrate your bloodline limit in detail? It would be best if I could collect more data. With the new bloodline limit, your data needs to be updated, and the next experiment will also require some adjustments and modifications." Lu Nie showed great interest in Hong Dou's new bloodline limit.

Maybe we can compare it with the data from Nekomaru.

"Okay." Red Bean nodded without hesitation at Lu Nie's request.

For ninjas, information is as important as life itself at crucial moments, but as a partner, Anko had no intention of hiding anything from Shisui and Shinobu.

A kunai made of blue flame instantly condensed around Anko.

"I can control the shape of flames at will by consuming chakra. And to some extent, I can interfere with their temperature and lethality," Anko said, demonstrating her ability.

The kunai in her hands kept changing shape, from a kunai to a shuriken, then to a short sword, an arrow, a shield, and so on.

"I'm not yet proficient in controlling and interfering with them, and I can't perform more precise operations for the time being."

"That's already incredibly powerful," Shisui exclaimed. "This kind of bloodline limit is more than enough, even compared to Pakura's Blaze Release from Sunagakure."

Having a bloodline limit gives them a natural foundation to be strong compared to most ordinary ninjas.
