Chapter 345 S-Rank Technique [Spirit Transformation Technique]!

[S-Rank Technique: Spirit Transformation Technique]

[Spell Description: Transform your body into a living being, possessing and controlling your enemy!]

[Spell Effect: Separates one's spiritual energy from the body, creating a soul capable of independent action from nothingness. By possessing the enemy, it causes the enemy's spirit to collapse and die from within.]

[Skill Evaluation: Truly Infused with Soul]

"Disaster……"

Nara Rinka grasped the scroll of the [Spirit Transformation Technique] and sighed softly.

However, what made him sigh was not the difficulty of learning the [Spirit Transformation Technique] itself.

【Spiritualization Technique】is indeed an extremely difficult S-rank technique. Although the hand seal process is not complicated, the user must have sufficient aptitude to learn and use it.

Over the years, Konoha has only produced one user of the "Spirit Transformation Technique": Kato Dan.

But for Nara Rinka, what difficulty was there in learning ninjutsu?

Can't you learn it just by watching a ninjutsu scroll once?

Even a certain blond loser who wished to remain anonymous was able to learn the super-advanced ninjutsu recorded in the Book of Seals, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, with "a million eyes".

The moment Nara Ranke bid farewell to Shizune and examined the scroll containing the [Spiritual Transformation Technique], he learned this S-rank mental technique.

All that's left is to improve one's familiarity with the [Spirit Transformation Technique].

And to explore whether the "soul" condensed by the [Spiritualization Technique] can actually travel to the Pure Land in the dark!

The reason Nara Rankei sighed just now was not because of the [Spirit Transformation Technique], but because he was struggling with how to repay the silence that sent the [Spirit Transformation Technique].

Perhaps in Shizune's view, giving the scroll of the [Spirit Transformation Technique] as a gift to Nara Rinka was a way of thanking the captain for his meticulous care and training all along.

However, in Nara Rinka's view, the overall value of the [Spirit Transformation Technique] was undoubtedly many times greater than the "broken ninjutsu" and "scrap metal" he had previously taught Shizune.

Nara Rangsei has never hesitated to take the most lucrative opportunity with the toughest attitude.

But you can't just live off a girl who's weaker than you, can you?

While Nara Rinka could accept Shizune's kindness with a clear conscience and pretend not to recognize the overall value of the [Spirit Transformation Technique], this was completely out of character for him.

"Returning a favor is certainly a long-term solution, but a suitable gift for Jingyin, one that is comparable in value to the [Spirit Transformation Technique]... that's very difficult to find!"

This is what really gives Nara Rinka a headache.

His three subordinates.

Uchiha Shisui's talent needs no further explanation; he was a super genius who could awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan without making a sound.

Hinata Rei's talent is also above average.

Only Jingyin was inferior to the other two in terms of pure talent.

If we compare it using the level of strength that can be reached in the future.

In Nara Rinka's eyes.

Uchiha Shisui was the kind of true genius who could steadily grow to the Kage level even while eating and drinking. If given a tiny bit of stimulation, perhaps his Mangekyou Sharingan could unleash even greater power.

As long as Hyuga Rei doesn't make any mistakes along the way and continues her training step by step, she will be able to smoothly transition to the level of an elite Jonin. The ninjas of the Hyuga main family have such strong "talent".

As for muting...

To become a "Jonin" requires several times, or even dozens of times, the effort of Uchiha Shisui or Hyuga Rei.

This difference doesn't just come from bloodline; the most important factor is talent.

The talent for silence, the talent for learning and understanding, the talent for physical abilities, the talent for chakra nature...

And so on, basically he is weaker than Uchiha Shisui and Hyuga Rei in every aspect.

This makes it difficult for Nara Rinkazu to give a suitable gift in return.

The gift was too poor and did not match the value of the [Spiritualization Technique].

The gift was too good; I probably won't be able to learn how to use the silent mode at all.

"I remember giving Shizune a copy of the Water Release ninjutsu [Heavenly Cry] last time, but during our previous chat, she still hasn't learned this A-rank ninjutsu."

"If we were to give her another S-rank water-style ninjutsu, it would probably take her several years to master it... which would be completely pointless."

"Medical ninjutsu, Yang Release, Water Release... If we can't focus on Water Release, then let's find a gift in medical ninjutsu?"

"But Shizune's medical talent isn't exactly strong either..."

How would you describe Shizune's talent for medical ninjutsu?

Despite following Tsunade closely for over a decade, he still couldn't learn the Yin Seal or the Creation Rebirth Technique.

A silent ceiling—that's probably what an "elite Jonin" is like...

"We can't let Silent go down the path of mutation, can we? That would be too cruel!"

Nara Ranka scratched his head, and a sudden inspiration flashed through his mind.

"I was focused on ninjutsu the whole time, but it suddenly dawned on me that I could give Shizune the research data from the Blood Pond Clan that I seized from Hell Valley last time!"

"Most of the research data on the Blood Pond Clan is related to blood. This knowledge and ability is a good match for medical ninjas, and perhaps even more suitable for silence than water-style ninjutsu?"

Nara Rinka finalized his plan, intending to give Shizune the S-class miscellaneous item "Blood Research" scroll as a gift when he finds a suitable opportunity next time.

"The contents of this scroll also need some organization. The content related to the Blood Dragon Eye of the Blood Pool Clan is not suitable for Shizune... Anyway, a suitable 'return gift' has been found!"

With one problem resolved, Nara Rinka felt relieved and turned her attention to the [Spirit Transformation Technique] on the panel.

He didn't know much about the [Spirit Transformation Technique], but he knew it was an extremely brutal ninjutsu.

In a sense, the Spirit Transformation Technique is a ninjutsu for killing beyond visual range!

The ninjutsu mechanics are extremely strong.

It should be noted that there are not many ninjas in the ninja world who specialize in cultivating spiritual energy.

Once hit by the [Spirit Transformation Technique], the enemy is basically doomed.

Nara Rinkei has always believed that the spiritual secrets of the Yamanaka clan are simply a weakened version of the [Spiritualization Technique].

Now he has witnessed firsthand the spell scroll of the [Spiritualization Technique].

Then it turned out that the previous guess was completely correct.

As a member of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Nara Rinkei was well aware of the weaknesses of the Yamanaka clan's spiritual techniques.

However, the [Spirit Transformation Technique] almost completely compensates for all the shortcomings of mental magic techniques, except for the "fragility of the physical body".

"After casting the [Spiritualization Technique], one can perceive souls regardless of distance, attack and move at extremely high speeds, the soul form can ignore any physical attacks, and can even transfer spiritual energy and chakra to the target..."

"What kind of cheat-like ninjutsu is this?!"
