I've Already Decided to Take It Easy! You're Telling Me My Family Has a Secret Technique?

If Windcloud Mountain were still alive, hearing his son say that would probably make him let Torikaze experience what real fatherly love felt like!

Back when the Windcloud Clan had been famous throughout the Shinobi World, how had they become nothing but useless nouveau riche in his mouth?

"Hey, Dad! Why are you just like this lousy system? Both of you only tell me after the fact!"

"I'd already decided to take it easy! I was ready to cling to a powerful thigh and start living peacefully! Then you tell me our family is freaking awesome and has a Secret Technique!"

"Damn it!"

Complaints aside, Torikaze still set off for his father's quarters to search for that hidden door.

To be honest, when he learned that his family possessed a secret Ninjutsu.

Torikaze's first reaction was bewilderment, followed by excitement.

Although Torikaze had already mastered Crystal Release, having one more Ninjutsu meant an extra measure of strength and safety.

Moreover, this Cloud Release had allowed a family like the Windcloud Clan, which passed down through a single line, to endure in the Shinobi World.

That alone proved how powerful it was! By the same logic, it definitely would not be easy to learn.

Otherwise, why had he never seen his father use it? Because he couldn't!

"Sigh, I'll go take a look first. If I can't learn it either, then I'm screwed."

If he really could not learn Cloud Release, Torikaze feared he would kneel before Windcloud Mountain's grave and tell him.

"Dad! This Cloud Release is too hard! From this day forth, you and I are no longer father and son. Please find someone more capable!"

Filial piety gave rise to greatness.

Torikaze's father's quarters were not far from his own, and he arrived before long.

Everything in the room remained as it had been before his father's death, except Torikaze hired people to come clean it every few days.

He immediately spotted the calligraphy painting his father had mentioned.

Torikaze carefully took it down and placed it on the nearby table.

These were old heirlooms passed down by his ancestors. They were worth a lot of money!

Sure enough, beneath the painting was a square stone embedded in the wall, completely out of place with the surrounding bricks.

The Hidden Cloud Crane Crest was carved into it.

He gently pressed it, and the bricks in the wall shifted. Before long, a pitch-black passage appeared before Torikaze.

Without hesitation, he quickly stepped inside.

Specks of light lit up along the walls on both sides. There were not many, but they were enough to illuminate the way.

He did not stop walking and soon reached his destination: an exceptionally spacious, bright room.

Countless display cabinets inside were filled with all kinds of scrolls and ninja tools.

Clearly, this was the Windcloud Clan's true wealth.

Seeing the room full of scrolls and all kinds of ninja tools, Torikaze could not help but sigh.

"Good grief, I thought my family was already rich enough. Turns out my vision was still too limited."

"With this many Ninjutsu, it'd probably take over ten years to learn them all, wouldn't it?"

But none of these were the purpose of Torikaze's trip. The scrolls would not run away sitting here, so finding Cloud Release came first.

He walked up to a display cabinet at the very center of the secret chamber. Only two items sat atop it.

One was a scroll, while the other was an incomparably magnificent sword. Clusters of auspicious clouds were carved into its hilt.

Two Cranes danced across the scabbard, while the words "Crane's Cry Sword" were engraved on the wooden sword stand.

"What a fine sword. It'll be mine from now on."

He then turned his gaze to the scroll beside it. "This should be the scroll that records how to cultivate Cloud Release."

Torikaze opened the scroll, but the contents he saw next nearly made his jaw drop.

'Cloud Release is a Ninjutsu developed by Cloud Incarnate Dust, the ancestor of the Windcloud Clan. It is formed by fusing Chakra of the water, fire, and wind natures, making it a Kekkei Tōta! It is extremely difficult to cultivate and cannot be learned by ordinary people.'

'Once struck by a Cloud Release Ninjutsu, the victim may suffer frozen organs and die in mild cases, or be turned into mist and vanish into ashes in severe cases.'

Torikaze's mind had completely crashed.

He had thought his family's Cloud Release was merely a relatively powerful Kekkei Genkai. He never would have imagined that it was actually a Kekkei Tōta!

This kind of Ninjutsu created by fusing three Chakra natures.

In Naruto, only Iwagakure's Second Tsuchikage Chen Ze's Dust Release: Detachment of Your Mom Technique... Ahem, wrong one.

It was the Dust Release: Detachment of the Original World Technique used by the Second Tsuchikage Mu and his disciple, the Third Tsuchikage Ōnoki.

Torikaze shook his head in disbelief. The day's events had been full of twists and turns.

They made him feel as though he had not woken up yet and was still dreaming.

As he continued reading, Torikaze began to feel a headache coming on.

"This is way too complicated. Fusing three types of Chakra in different proportions—doing that is practically harder than ascending to heaven."

The five Chakra natures generated and countered one another. Extracting three of them and fusing them into one was simply too difficult.

"However, it's indeed difficult for someone without a system. For someone like me with a system, though, the difficulty is just right."

"System, open the Shop." He had long wanted to see what exactly could be exchanged in the Shop, and now was the perfect opportunity.

Following Torikaze's command, a pale blue Shop panel unfolded before his eyes.

The wide variety of items delighted Torikaze!

The more items there were in the Shop, the happier he was. Sooner or later, he would exchange for all of them anyway.

Torikaze gave it a quick scan and discovered quite a few good things.

"Cell phones! Computers? Good grief, all the things meant for enjoying life are in the Shop!"

Although Torikaze desperately wanted to snap up both items immediately.

Unfortunately, the Tranquility Points required for cell phones and computers were far too high—five thousand points each!

Together, that was ten thousand Tranquility Points. He did not even dare think about it!

Straw Sandals (Put on Straw Sandals! Feel like you're flying!)

"Holy...!"

Torikaze forcibly held back the urge to complain. Why did this damn system have every kind of useless crap?!

What the hell use were these stupid Straw Sandals?!

"I should look for something useful right now. Learning Cloud Release is the priority."

But just as he was about to keep scrolling down, he caught sight of an item from the corner of his eye.

"What the hell? Naruto Mobile Game? This thing costs fifty thousand Tranquility Points? Why would I spend fifty thousand on a game when I've got nothing better to do?"

But after seeing the description, Torikaze immediately revealed a crafty smile.

'For every 100 taels anyone tops up in Naruto Mobile Game, the host may obtain 1 Tranquility Point.'

"I take back what I said. This is truly a game with a conscience."

If he exchanged for this game, it would be equivalent to directly exchanging money for Tranquility Points.

But if he only topped up himself, a million taels could only be exchanged for ten thousand Tranquility Points.

But why would Torikaze spend his own money? With something this good, he naturally had to benefit the entire world!

Let the whole Shinobi World experience the joy of head-patting!

A plan slowly formed in Torikaze's heart. "This can't be rushed. I need to plan it carefully." He then stopped paying attention to it.

After scrolling up and down for a while, he found several items that could help with Ninjutsu training.

Clear Mind (Increases the speed of Ninjutsu training. 100 Tranquility Points/day)

Wind-Fire Concerto (Increases the speed of training wind-release and fire-release Ninjutsu. 4000 Tranquility Points)

Both items looked fairly good, but the first had a time limit.

It cost one hundred Tranquility Points per day, and he had no idea how long it would take to learn Cloud Release. In the long run, it would definitely be a huge loss.

The second only enhanced wind and fire Chakra. It would be somewhat useful to Torikaze, but not by much.

What he truly had his eye on was this final item.

Genius (Possesses an extremely profound understanding of Chakra nature transformation and can easily develop Ninjutsu. Tranquility Points)
