Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

The important thing is that this is not the kind of water-attribute chakra change that has just been learned and can only be detected by test paper that is extremely sensitive to chakra, but a water-attribute chakra with practical strength that can be used by a fairly mature water-style ninja.

After absorbing the chakra of the White Zetsu, Yu Zhen mastered the water attribute transformation of the chakra.

"This……"

According to his understanding, White Zetsu basically does not use attribute ninjutsu, and there is no reason for him to be proficient in chakra attribute changes, so what is going on?

Yu Zhen suddenly thought of a possibility. The change in chakra attributes might be the "hidden characteristic" of White Zetsu. This has nothing to do with White Zetsu, but is related to its forgotten essence.

"Before becoming White Zetsu, White Zetsu was a ninja from ancient times, and the White Zetsu just now might be a ninja who is proficient in water-attribute chakra transformations."

This may be an ability buried deep within White Zetsu's body, forgotten by itself.

"No, that doesn't make sense."

This guess was reasonable, but Yu Zhen quickly denied it.

Because the White Zetsu currently active in the ninja world were all born during the first Infinite Tsukuyomi period. At that time, the Six Paths Sage had not yet founded the Ninja Sect, and even the concept of ninjutsu did not exist, let alone the changes in attribute chakra and the development of attribute ninjutsu.

Therefore, before becoming White Zetsu, those unlucky ninjas did not know ninjutsu, but after becoming White Zetsu, they did not need ninjutsu at all...

Yu Zhen was a little confused.

"Perhaps the ancient ninjas understood attribute changes, but just didn't understand attribute ninjutsu? Just like a person with superb archery skills was born in an era before the invention of guns?"

He could only think so for the time being.

In fact, there are some problems with his cognition here, because the description of the ancient times in the original work is not comprehensive enough. In fact, the first batch of White Zetsu born due to Infinite Tsukuyomi were not ninjas, but humans before they became White Zetsu.

Kaguya Otsutsuki swallowed the chakra fruit and activated the Infinite Tsukuyomi in order to destroy the hostile human country, not to deal with her two filial sons.

Yuzhen always believed that White Zetsu was born in the war between Otsutsuki Hagoromo, Otsutsuki Hamura and Otsutsuki Kaguya, but in fact White Zetsu was born before this war.

Afterwards, the two divine brothers sealed the Ten Tails and sent their mother to heaven. Then they lifted the Infinite Tsukuyomi. Hagoromo founded the Ninja Clan and spread chakra. The era of ninjas began, and he also became the legendary God of Creation, the Sage of Six Paths.

In short, Yu Zhen's long-held belief that "White Zetsu was formed by hanging a ninja on the sacred tree" is not true. White Zetsu was actually an ordinary person in his previous life.

So he analyzed over and over again, but in fact he was analyzing nothing.

He thought he had guessed the reason why White Zetsu had hidden the ability to change chakra attributes, but in fact he was a thousand miles away from the truth.

But no matter what, now Yu Zhen has obtained water-attribute chakra. Since he knows it, he naturally wants to try the power of water escape.

Yu Zhen clasped his hands together excitedly, but after a while he didn't make any movement and instead lowered his hands again.

Understanding attribute changes does not mean understanding escape techniques. Yu Zhen has not mastered the seal of water escape at all.

Want to try it?

Can't try anything.

Chapter 13 Currently guilty

All White Zetsu are the same, but White Zetsu is different for Yu Zhen.

By obtaining the water-attribute chakra transformation ability from White Zetsu this time, he realized the rich and diverse possibilities that White Zetsu could bring.

Since I could accidentally acquire the water attribute from White Zetsu, what about the wind attribute, the lightning attribute, or even...

Just when he successfully launched a sneak attack on White Zetsu, somewhere far away from the scene, the White Zetsu that was moving towards its main body suddenly stopped.

"A similar signal disappeared. What happened?"

It is obvious that this White Zetsu who serves as a communicator or "little boss" is different from ordinary White Zetsu. It can sense the "signals" of its own kind from a long distance, and can barely be considered a rare individual with certain information processing capabilities.

You know, White Zetsu wouldn't die so easily. How could someone be killed right after the meeting? It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it.

However, before this White Zetsu could think about what he had discovered, the signal of another "White Zetsu" also disappeared... This was Yu Zhen's exit from "White Zetsu transformation".

"The second one is dead too!"

The two White Zetsu died almost at the same time, and the signals they sent before their death were in the same direction. The White Zetsu leader quickly figured out which two were dead.

The other White Zetsu were acting alone, only the two White Zetsu sent to area 037 for surveillance missions were acting together, so the two who died together could only be them.

The seriousness of the matter was beyond the imagination of the White Zetsu leader. He no longer hesitated and immediately turned in the direction where the signal disappeared. He wanted to find out what was happening there.

White Zetsu is a creature that cannot survive without darkness and feels uncomfortable without conspiracy. The loss of two White Zetsu is nothing, but the White Zetsu leader is a little worried that the two dead White Zetsu were the result of a targeted attack.

Since there is the possibility of a targeted attack, it also means that the existence of White Zetsu is likely to be exposed. As a black hand hidden in the ninja world for thousands of years, once it is discovered, can it continue to be a black hand?

Since the White Zetsu leader only knew a vague direction and was worried that he would be the next target, he was overly cautious when acting. It took him seven or eight days to find the place where the battle took place.

So much time has passed, and the remaining useful information at the battle site has almost been destroyed. The ground burned by Yu Zhen's fire escape has begun to grow grass again. What else can be seen?

The White Zetsu leader only obtained correct but insufficiently detailed information, such as the battle was very short, the confrontation was intense but not long-lasting. Based on this little information, it was difficult to judge whether someone was targeting the White Zetsu or whether the two White Zetsu were accidentally involved in a battle between ninjas.

Don’t think that the White Zetsu leader’s thoughts are not cautious enough. They have lived for too long, and no matter how unlucky the death they have experienced, it is not too much. You know, there was a case where a White Zetsu was walking and suddenly was killed by a meteorite.

In comparison, being burned to death by the sudden appearance of fire escape is nothing.

The only problem was that they died so cleanly. The White Zetsu leader searched for the bodies of the two White Zetsu for a long time but couldn't find them. This fact basically confirmed his suspicions.

It didn't expect that someone could disguise themselves as White Zetsu. It just thought that someone had noticed the existence of White Zetsu and then killed two of them.

In any case, the little boss decided to report in detail what happened here to the main body.

…………

Yu Zhen knew that his actions were likely to attract White Zetsu's investigation, so he retreated very promptly.

It is inevitable to arouse the vigilance of White Zetsu, but the degree of attention that these two pieces of information, "someone has noticed the existence of White Zetsu" and "someone can disguise themselves as White Zetsu", can arouse in the White Zetsu group is completely different.

The former will basically not have any adverse effects on Yu Zhen. If Bai Zetsu wants to suspect someone, he will first suspect those who are full of suspicious points.

There are many names like those who suffer from pink eye disease, those who inherit the immortal body, those who are sealed ninjas beyond the standard, etc. Anyway, Yu Zhen is not suspected.

Yu Zhen didn't know that the investigation of the White Zetsu leader would be so slow. After leaving the scene of the assassination, he did not return to the camp immediately.

What he had said to his companions before about exploring the battlefield environment and searching for supplies was not empty talk, so when he returned, his route was close to the edges of towns and some war-torn areas.

Small and medium-sized ninja clans have their own way of fighting, and the powerful big ninja clans also have their own way of fighting. Yu Zhen wants to try to determine the scope of the main battlefield in the ninja world at this time, so as not to be accidentally injured by the strong ones in the future.

This is the big stage of the ninja world, come if you have the courage. Now Yu Zhen is one of those people who knows himself.

After asking around in several towns, the information he got left Yu Zhen speechless...

The battlefields of the small and medium-sized ninja clans "bloomed in the center" and were basically everywhere; the battlefields of the large ninja clans "exploded all around" and were actually concentrated near the future border of the Land of Fire.

Yuzhen and his group's camp is now hidden in the primeval forest in the northern part of the "Land of Fire". If you really count it, it is not far from some of the main battlefields in the ninja world.

Although most of the information he obtained came from ordinary people and lacked accuracy, it still confirmed one point - there is no safe place in the ninja world.

Yu Zhen also faces a very realistic dilemma, that is, he has no money, so he cannot replenish supplies in the town.

He could only focus on the battlefield and see if there were any kind-hearted ninjas who would leave some useful supplies on a less dangerous battlefield.

Food, medicine, ninja tools, his camp is short of everything. If a kind-hearted delivery ninja offers to deliver food to him, he will definitely not let the other party down.

What's more, three days after leaving the town, Yuzhen actually witnessed a battle between two groups of ninjas.

Since he saw from beginning to end how they encountered each other and how the fight started, Yu Zhen even figured out why they were fighting... to fight for supplies.

There are supplies!

Yu Zhen, who originally planned to just watch the show, carefully avoided their chaotic fight and approached the battlefield with extreme caution.

The two sides in the battle were evenly matched in terms of numbers, each with more than ten ninjas. One of the sides called themselves the Ishigawa clan. Yu Zhen had never heard of them and did not recognize their family crest, but he knew that this must be a large ninja clan.

Because they were the ones who committed the robbery and the ones who were robbed, Yu Zhen knew their forehead protectors.

The robbed ninjas wore iconic forehead protectors on their heads. One of them was carrying a huge supply scroll containing a large amount of supplies that the tribe members urgently needed.

The scroll and their forehead protectors were both depicted with an extremely distinctive pattern, which was composed of five circles and some lines.

The five circles don't mean they are from the Olympic clan. In fact, these ninjas are famous. They come from...

The Sarutobi clan.

Chapter 14 Robbery

Fire Release·Fire Dragon Flame Bullet!

Sarutobi Ninja's fiery fire dragon streaked across the sky, and the flames illuminated the surrounding collapsed buildings and the small and cramped battlefield.

Yu Zhen was hiding more than thirty meters away from the periphery of the battlefield, with the flames reflected in his pupils. He was a little surprised by the fact that any ordinary ninja could use advanced fire escape.

The heat wave drew a line of fire, sweeping forward like an arrow from a bow, and the surrounding air became distorted.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!

Just when the fire dragon was about to hit, the Ishikawa ninja on the other side quickly formed seals with his hands, and a thick earth wall rose from the ground, blocking the fire dragon's forward attack route.

boom!

The long strip of flame hit the earth wall directly, blocked from the front and back, and in an instant the fire dragon was crushed into a "fire cake".

The thick earth wall was like being slapped by a giant flaming hand, making a deafening roar and splashing heat waves.

Under the huge impact force, the surrounding ground even began to vibrate.

"careful!"

Another Sarutobi ninja issued a warning, and the Sarutobi ninja who released the Fire Style instinctively felt some kind of threat. He immediately dodged to the side. The moment he left his original position, several sharp earth spikes broke out of the ground.

The art of earth escape and rock fist!

An Ishigawa ninja's hands transformed into giant rock fists as he charged towards his enemy, ready for a close combat.

The art of fire escape and heroic flames!

A Sarutobi ninja avoided the opponent's attack and chose to use fire escape to restrain the opponent from the side.

Earth Escape·Tu Long Spear!

Fire Release·Big Flame Bullet!

Ninjutsu were flying everywhere on the battlefield. Yu Zhen watched and couldn't help nodding. Well, there was indeed no big difference between the fire bombs used by the Sarutobi clan and the fire bombs he used.

The ninjas on both sides were fighting with Fire Style and Earth Style. There were no casualties for the time being, but this was definitely not a game. When someone's chakra could not hold on, there would inevitably be casualties.

Yuzhen carefully observed the situation on the battlefield. As time went on, the orderliness and coordination of the formations between the ninjas in the same camp inevitably began to decline.

Gradually, the number of companions around the Sarutobi ninja who was carrying the supply scroll became fewer and fewer, and a passage even appeared on the side close to the periphery of the battlefield.

Great opportunity, now!

Yu Zhen's figure immediately disappeared into the battlefield.

The ninja was forming hand seals to release ninjutsu, but suddenly he felt his shoulders lighten, and the weight pressing on them suddenly disappeared.

He subconsciously looked back and found that a strange figure suddenly appeared behind him. Then he saw a young face with a hint of embarrassment and shyness.

"Too heavy? Affecting the battle? Let me help you take it first."

Yu Zhen cut off the strap of the supply scroll, then held it under his arm with one arm. At the same time, he was secretly making small moves, tripping with his feet and pushing with his hands, almost tripping the ninja to the ground.

Then, he turned and ran without hesitation. As the saying goes, even thieves have their own code of conduct: stealing is stealing, and never doing anything unnecessary.

Yu Zhen still respected the reputation of the Sarutobi clan. He didn't want to cause trouble, otherwise he could stab the other party from behind to ensure that the other party would not catch up with him.

Although Yu Zhen's movements in and out of the battlefield and his thefts were smooth and fluid, in such a highly tense environment, it was difficult for both sides to fail to notice his stealthy actions.

So he could only make hand seals in an awkward way, threw a fireball at an Ishigawa ninja who tried to stop him, and then ran away while shouting:

"I'll evacuate with the supplies first. You guys can hold them off for a bit before retreating. There's no need to fight them. Protecting the supplies is your priority."

He lowered his head deliberately so that the other Sarutobi ninjas couldn't see his face at all.

The battlefield was in chaos, and since Yuzhen suddenly appeared on the battlefield, the Sarutobi ninjas subconsciously mistook him for a companion without noticing anyone approaching.

Needless to say, the Ishigawa ninja on the other side, didn't you see him unleashing Fire Release? He must be a ninja from the Sarutobi clan.

The cooked duck cannot be allowed to fly away.

"Wait, you..."

The Sarutobi ninja who was attacked and was originally responsible for carrying the supply scroll, of course noticed something was wrong, because he didn't know the other party at all, so how could he allow him to take the supply scroll away?

But before he could issue a warning, the surrounding Ishikawa ninjas had already surrounded and attacked without stopping.

The ninjas of the Sarutobi clan tried their best to stop them, making sure not to let any enemy leave the battlefield to ensure the safe transportation of supplies.

He didn't expect Sarutobi and the others to be so stupid as to not realize that he was a thief. Yu Zhen just needed them to buy him a minute or two.
