Writing [Camouflage Concealment], Read as [Wind King Barrier]!

Nara Kaikei yearned for a peaceful, comfortable life.

He did not obsess over victory or defeat, dwell on troubles, or make enemies that kept him awake at night. A life like a "plant," that kind of "peaceful life," was precisely his goal.

Damn it, but... how should he put it? It might sound a little vulgar, but Nara Kaikei had no intention of hiding the fact that he was a Blonde Giant Tits Enthusiast.

When it came to Blonde Big Sisters like Princess Tsunade, Nara Kaikei really... could not refuse!

He took an ultra-compact emergency medical kit from his ninja pouch, then pulled out an Alcohol Cotton Pad. He carefully and gently wiped the specks of blood from Tsunade's hand, then sprayed some Alcohol Spray around it to completely eliminate the smell.

Tsunade stared blankly at the boy cleaning the blood from her hand. She could clearly feel the warm heat from Nara's palm, and the panic in her heart receded like the tide, replaced by an indescribably complicated emotion.

Only after Nara Kaikei finished all this did Tsunade's expression barely return to normal.

"Lady Tsunade."

Nara Kaikei casually disposed of the Medical Waste, planning to replace the medical kit tomorrow.

"Are you still going to Kikyo Orphanage?"

"Yes!"

Timid Big Fat Sheep was still putting up a tough front.

"Why wouldn't I? I'm hungry now too!"

"Then let's go together."

Nara Kaikei nodded and took the lead, continuing toward Kikyo Castle.

"Kikyo Orphanage isn't that far anyway. It's just that it'll take you a little longer to return to the village afterward."

"Why? Oh, right, I still need to report the intelligence to the Old man—cough! I mean Teacher Sarutobi, the Third Lord!"

Distracted, Tsunade forcibly skipped over that embarrassing, uncomfortable slip of the tongue and changed the subject very stiffly.

"Nara, I remember you said earlier that both your parents are alive, right? Why do you seem so familiar with Kikyo Orphanage?"

The moment the words left her mouth, Tsunade realized something was wrong. It sounded like she was being sarcastic...

"My parents are indeed both alive. I introduced my father's identity earlier. My mother is a Chunin who retired because of an injury."

Nara Kaikei's shoulders slumped. Family shame should not be aired in public, but he had always wanted to complain about this.

"They are very much in love."

"Hm?"

Seeing that Nara Kaikei did not look displeased, Tsunade secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But after hearing his description, she became thoroughly confused again.

"So? What's the problem?"

"The problem is... they love each other too much."

Nara Kaikei looked at the gates of Kikyo Orphanage ahead and sighed wistfully.

"There's no room in their relationship for a third person... and I am the third person in that family."

<After transmigrating, my parents were both healthy, I had no little sister and owned a house, yet I lived like an orphan>

Tsunade had undergone extremely strict, even harsh, professional ninja training since childhood. Under normal circumstances, no matter how funny something was, she would not laugh.

Damn it!

Blonde Big Fat Sheep ultimately could not hold it in. With a snort, she let out a joyful laugh like clanging bells.

"Ahahaha!"

Nara Kaikei truly was familiar with Kikyo Orphanage.

This was not only reflected in his close, familiar relationship with the director, Yakushi Nonō, but also in the fact that he had a very precious Single Small Room at Kikyo Orphanage.

Though that did not seem like anything to be proud of...

The two arrived at Kikyo Orphanage and entered "Nara Kaikei's Exclusive Small Room" together.

Tsunade surveyed the small but spotlessly clean and tidy room before her, a trace of surprise flashing through her eyes.

"Nara, your small room is so tidy that it hardly looks like the room of a boy your age."

Nara Kaikei had no desire to discuss the normal preferences boys his age should have with Tsunade, so he pointed at the Private Bathroom in the room.

"The washroom is over there."

"Thanks!"

While Tsunade went to wash up.

Nara Kaikei skillfully walked to his single bed, lay down in the most comfortable position, and stretched lazily. At the same time, he could not stop a pleased sigh from escaping his lips.

Ahh, lying in bed really is the most comfortable!

Creak—

Just then, the bathroom door was pushed open from within, and Tsunade poked her head out.

"No peeking—"

Tsunade had intended to tease Nara Kaikei, but when she saw the boy lying on the bed, so relaxed and carefree that he resembled a deer basking in the winter forest sunlight, she swallowed the rest of her words.

I could eat three bowls of rice just listening to the sound of water!

Nara Kaikei lay still on the bed and rolled his eyes, nearly blurting out the classic line of some Great King of Flirtatious Talk teacher at Big Fat Sheep.

But reason kicked in just in time. He merely rolled his eyes, then struggled to turn over on the bed like a Salted Fish, facing the wall to show his sincerity.

Tsunade: "..."

Bang!

The bathroom door was slammed shut.

[Lazy Ghost System]!

Delighted to have some free time, Nara Kaikei continued studying his Golden Finger—or rather, the A-Rank Secret Jutsu from earlier.

[Camouflage Concealment]!

On the virtual panel, the Jutsu Scroll for Iwagakure's advanced invisibility technique instantly unfurled.

The scroll not only recorded the method of using [Camouflage Concealment] and its Jutsu Effect, but also mentioned quite a few flaws in its use.

At the same time, a notification appeared.

[Detected A-Rank Secret Jutsu [Camouflage Concealment]. Learn it?]

An A-Rank Ninjutsu can be learned directly? Does the [Lazy Ghost System] also have a one-click learning function?

Nara Kaikei froze for a moment, and another thought immediately surfaced in his mind.

Is this limited solely to jutsu recorded in [Ninja Scrolls], or does it include all jutsu recorded on other ordinary scrolls as well?

If it was the latter...

It seemed he would have to find time to test this "one-click learning" function!

While pondering, Nara Kaikei directly pressed the "one-click learning" button on the panel.

Do not be fooled by the fact that he had already studied and mastered an A-Rank Jutsu, [Lacquer Eye].

That had been the result of years of accumulated effort.

A-Rank Ninjutsu had essentially entered the realm of Forbidden Jutsu.

Every A-Rank Ninjutsu represented an exceptionally high learning difficulty. The time and energy required to master one were absolutely incalculable!

Nara Kaikei did not reject taking shortcuts when it came to "learning difficult knowledge."

As for the result...

[You have learned the A-Rank Jutsu [Camouflage Concealment]. Your [Sage Wisdom] attribute has increased slightly!]

Nara Kaikei opened his eyes. The various key points of [Camouflage Concealment] flowed through his mind, but when he saw the prompt refreshed on the panel, he could not help but pause slightly.

That's it?

If he remembered correctly, when he had just mastered [Lacquer Eye], not only had his [Sage Wisdom] increased, but his [Ninjutsu] attribute had also risen by an entire rank!

But this [Camouflage Concealment]...

Nara Kaikei closed his eyes and pondered for a moment. Then he raised his right hand, refined Chakra, and silently activated the [Camouflage Concealment] Ninjutsu he had just learned.

The Chakra precisely controlled the invisible Water Molecules diffused through the air, wrapping them around Nara Kaikei's fingers. Under the effect of the jutsu, his joined index and middle fingers disappeared without a trace.

But only Nara Kaikei's two fingers became transparent.

"My Chakra amount simply isn't enough to support the use of [Camouflage Concealment], an A-Rank Ninjutsu!"

Looking at his two transparent fingers, Nara Kaikei's face darkened.

For jutsu recorded in Ninja Scrolls, the Lazy Ghost System did indeed possess the powerful function of "one-click learning."

That did not mean Nara Kaikei could instantly master a jutsu perfectly, but at the very least, it allowed him to use it smoothly.

But the problem was that Nara Kaikei's [Precision] was too low. The Chakra he refined was insufficient to control Water Molecules covering his entire body, so naturally, he could not properly use [Camouflage Concealment].

In layman's terms: his brain had learned it, but his body had not.

No wonder my [Ninjutsu] attribute didn't increase. I really have basically mastered [Camouflage Concealment], but I can't use it normally at all!

Nara Kaikei ended the jutsu for [Camouflage Concealment], and his two fingers returned to normal.

Ordinary ninja have Chakra, cheating ninja have Chakratons, and I have Chakramilligrams?

Taking a deep breath, Nara Kaikei silently moved up his plan to improve his [Precision] attribute, while consoling himself.

Forget it, forget it. At least it's an A-Rank Ninjutsu. Especially since [Camouflage Concealment] only requires one—no, half a hand seal to activate. It's exceptionally effective for a ninja like me with slow hands.

Though the Jutsu Effect of [Camouflage Concealment] involved the terrifying level of molecular control, it was still essentially a technique for finely controlling Chakra.

Therefore, using [Camouflage Concealment] was not difficult. It only required forming a hand seal to extract Chakra. (Half a "Tiger Seal," or rather, half a "Goat Seal"; the gesture was basically the same as a Sword Finger.)

In a sense, the fewer hand seals a Ninjutsu required, and the shorter the sealing time, the more useful it was in combat.

The most famous example was undoubtedly the seal-less Ninjutsu, "Rasengan," which the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, painstakingly developed based on his own combat style and the Tailed Beast Bomb!

As a Nara Clan Ninja, Nara Kaikei had not devoted much effort to studying Flower Shaking Hand—cough, Ninjutsu hand seals.

On the one hand, the Nara Clan's [Shadow Secret Technique] basically did not require hand seals.

On the other hand, Nara Kaikei himself did not advocate the concept of "Ninjutsu hand seals."

What proper ninja used hand seals?

[Camouflage Concealment] only required one seal, making it perfect for Nara Kaikei.

If all I need to do is refine and control Chakra, then perhaps after I become completely familiar with [Camouflage Concealment] and master it perfectly in the future, I'll even be able to skip this one hand gesture.

Nara Kaikei's thoughts wandered.

And [Camouflage Concealment]'s effect truly is powerful. Though it only creates visual invisibility and cannot erase the body's actual existence, this ability, similar to optical camouflage, has an extremely broad range of uses in actual combat!

Even if I can only hide one finger, it could still produce miraculous results! For example...

Nara Kaikei pulled out a standard kunai and activated [Camouflage Concealment] at the same time, controlling Water Molecules to wrap around and cover the weapon.

The Pitch-black Kunai, glinting with chilling cold light, was immediately hidden in the air by the A-Rank Jutsu.
