Deep Blue, Give Me Points and Show Me Your Limits

When Shimura Danzō struggled out of the ruins, there was no one left outside. He was all alone.

When "Shisui Uchiha" left, he had not only killed every Root Ninja present, but also taken every corpse with him, leaving nothing behind for Danzo.

By then, Daren Yi and Izumi Uchiha had already gone far away. In another deserted forest, they began counting the gains from their Loot Box Farming one by one.

Low risk, high reward. No wonder Danzo had practically become a must-farm monster for transmigrators to the Naruto World. I'll farm him again next time I need to!

Daren Yi took out Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, along with Danzo's Wood Style Arm, which had not yet been implanted with many Sharingan. Colorless Transparent Flames eagerly spread out, wrapping them in fire and slowly burning them, bit by bit devouring and plundering the vitality and power within.

On the Deep Blue Panel before him, the numbers before the percentage signs in the two attributes, "Physique Reserve Energy: 0%" and "Spirit Reserve Energy: 0%," began slowly rising bit by bit.

Izumi Uchiha leaned over and held up the camera in her hand as if seeking credit. With great excitement, she played the video she had just recorded for him. In it, "Shisui Uchiha" delivered righteous lines in a grief-stricken tone, bearing everything on his shoulders. He was clearly an unnamed hero hiding in the darkness to save the world.

Danzo, naturally, was the despicable clown used to highlight the hero's towering image.

As for the absent Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he had completely become the villainous schemer who had to be defeated in the movie, the ultimate boss lurking behind the scenes!

"Good! At the beginning of the video, add more footage and photographs of elderly Uchiha Clan members, women, and children dying miserable deaths, with corpses piled into mountains. The more tragic, the better.

"Later, we'll make a trip to Root's human experimentation base and add all the records from there too!"

Daren Yi was quite satisfied with the video's quality, and he looked forward to his next plan even more. What kind of interesting scene would it turn into?

Ten minutes passed, then twenty, then thirty. Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan and the Wood Style Arm implanted with Hashirama cells were finally drained completely. They turned to ashes and drifted down from the Colorless Transparent Flames. The reserve energy on the Deep Blue Panel had respectively risen to "Physique Reserve Energy: 500%" and "Spirit Reserve Energy: 400%."

That's much higher than the energy I started with? Is it because most of my Mangekyō's energy was used to construct the Deep Blue Panel, while Shisui's Mangekyō was simply burned as pure fuel?

And Physique Reserve Energy is higher than Spirit Reserve Energy? Because of the Uchiha bloodline? At the same 100%, is my Spirit Energy bar naturally longer than my physique energy bar?

Does filling up a full 100% have some special meaning?

His intuition told Daren Yi that this was important. After thinking for a moment, he drew his blade and cut his palm.

The result... it did not break the skin. After adding points to his physique, he was indeed starting to look less and less like an ordinary ninja.

He used a little more strength. Once the wound broke the skin and blood seeped out, the "Physique Reserve Energy: 500%" entry on the Deep Blue Panel flickered. The number did not change, and the wound instantly stopped bleeding and healed.

He put in more strength. This time, the wound was deep enough to barely count as a light injury on the battlefield. Yet it still instantly stopped bleeding and healed, while the number remained completely unchanged.

Daren Yi's expression changed. Taking a deep breath, he gritted his teeth and slashed hard at his wrist. Blood spurted from the artery, and the ghastly white edge of the severed wrist bone was faintly visible.

The next moment, bone grew back and flesh wriggled into place. Like a video sped up countless times, an injury that would have required months or even longer to recover from in his previous life healed in an instant.

On the Deep Blue Panel, the "Physique Reserve Energy: 500%" entry finally budged, reluctantly dropping to "Physique Reserve Energy: 499.999%."

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts! That hurts so much!"

Though it had only lasted an instant, the pain still made Daren Yi suck in cold breaths. His eyes had nearly teared up from the instinctive physical response.

"..."

Izumi Uchiha was genuinely astonished. She had never expected Daren Yi, who was so mysterious and powerful that he seemed to have everything under control, to be afraid of pain.

And over such a "small wound"!

"I'm not a ninja, just an ordinary civilian. What's wrong with being afraid of pain?"

Daren Yi looked completely righteous. "Other than the night of the Nine-Tails' Rampage, I had never even been injured from childhood until now."

"Nothing wrong with it. It's actually kind of cute!"

The teardrop mole girl held back her laughter, her face full of teasing. She could laugh about this for the rest of her life!

If 0.001% of Physique Reserve Energy can instantly heal an injury like that, then perhaps 100% of Physique Reserve Energy means one life? Or rather, one chance to save myself from a physically fatal injury?

Its function seems to overlap a little with Izumi's Mangekyō Dojutsu? Doesn't matter. When it comes to staying alive, the more contingencies I have, the better!

Ignoring the girl, Daren Yi continued analyzing the Deep Blue Panel. Clearly, whether it was consumed or absorbed, anything below 0.001% would not be displayed on the panel.

Other than the Mangekyō Sharingan and Hashirama cells, which possess powerful Yin Release and Yang Release energy, how much reserve energy would other ninjas be worth on the panel?

Izumi Uchiha had already taken out the corpses of the Root Ninjas she had sealed away. Daren Yi stood beside the pile of corpses, released the Colorless Transparent Flames, and waited quietly. More than ten minutes later, over a hundred corpses had turned to ashes.

Looking at the entries before him—"Physique Reserve Energy: 563%" and "Spirit Reserve Energy: 412%"—Daren Yi fell silent.

Perhaps only by converting life into numbers for direct comparison could one truly see the chasm-like difference between people.

More than a hundred elite ninjas piled together were still nowhere near as valuable as one of Shisui Uchiha's eyeballs or an arm grown from Senju Hashirama's cells.

Absurd, yet perfectly reasonable!

If I burned them while they were still alive, the converted reserve energy should be a little higher. But on one hand, these flames can only burn within three meters of me, and they burn absurdly slowly. On the other hand, I really can't bring myself to burn people together with their souls.

Daren Yi knew perfectly well that if he captured people alive, tied them up, and slowly burned them, then as long as there were enough of them, he would definitely gain a massive amount of reserve energy. But he did not want to do it, and not merely because the values from his previous life restrained him.

It was also because if he did such things too often and was defeated one day, he would not even be able to clear his name afterward...

I can't casually walk all the way down a dark path! That's too risky. A survivalist would never do that!

Don't be greedy for quick success. When something happens, play it safe first!

Casting aside those thoughts, Daren Yi decided to keep 112% Spirit Reserve Energy and 163% Physique Reserve Energy for emergencies, using all the rest to add points to his physique and spirit.

Is becoming invincible in the Shinobi World at thirteen too late?

At this point in time, aside from Pain, that chuunibyou god whose level is still uncertain, I should be able to crush pretty much everyone else.

The strength I have today is all thanks to my own talent and hard work.
