Ultimate Transformation
Konoha has already broken through the enemy's defenses and annihilated almost half of the enemy. Next, they will pursue the fleeing Sunagakure.
Therefore, Shuichi and his two companions have completed their mission, and his squad needs to be temporarily disbanded. Hyuga Akiha and Aburame Shihei have been transferred to participate in the main battle.
Orochimaru, as his teacher, knew far more about his strength and abilities than the average person, so he assigned him a solo mission. This was something only the two of them knew, and it could be considered an absolute secret.
After numerous battlefield engagements and the infiltration of intelligence agents, Konoha has ascertained the distribution of Sunagakure's forces. The next step is to select a target as the primary focus of their attack.
"This small-scale offensive in northern Land of Rivers is both to draw away the Sunagakure forces and to serve as an alternative to several main attack routes..." Nara Shikaku and Shuichi explained the high command's decision.
As the two were talking, Yamanaka Inoichi walked over from the side.
"Shuichi-kun, we've found a suitable target. What happens next is up to you."
After receiving the Scroll, Shuichi said goodbye to the others and Body Flicker Technique disappeared from the spot.
The Konoha army will pursue them for some distance, and he needs to seize the opportunity to prepare, using this chance to infiltrate Sunagakure again and coordinate with the frontline attack to carry out a major operation.
He quickly moved to a secluded spot, took out the Scroll, and opened it. Inside were a corpse and some detailed information.
The deceased was a girl from Sunagakure, who appeared to be about 13 to 14 years old based on her height and appearance.
Shuichi knelt down and pinched her body, finding that it was still slightly warm, indicating that she had only been dead for a short time.
Intelligence indicates that her name is Saki, a Chunin Sunagakure. Considering her age, she is quite skilled among her peers and is proficient in some basic Medical Ninjutsu.
Shuichi himself wasn't very skilled in Medical Ninjutsu, but because he had used Super Beast Imitation Drawing for quite some time, he had a certain understanding of Yang Release. He mastered Healing Technique and Hemostasis Technique in just a short time, which was perfect for replacing this Sunagakure female ninja.
"Sigh, another poor girl. I guess I'm a man who really cherishes women!" After reading the intelligence, he silently mourned for her for a while.
Saki's squad was destroyed by Konoha's attack. Because she was a Medical Ninja, she was not killed in the battle but captured alive.
After Nara Shikaku rejoined the main force, he discovered that her conditions perfectly matched the target Orochimaru needed to find, so he ordered Yamanaka Inoichi to extract the information from her brain as quickly as possible.
Due to the severe psychological trauma, Saki has become almost in a vegetative state.
After killing her, the Konoha Ninja quickly transferred the body and all intelligence records to Shuichi.
"Phew! Sorry, I'll bury you right away."
Shuichi immediately took action, first stripping her naked, and after checking, found that her clothes were intact and could still be used.
Then he changed his clothes, putting on Saki's clothes, Forehead Protector, and headscarf, and found that they fit perfectly.
This is the special person Orochimaru needs: similar height and skin color to Shuichi, and all his familiar teammates are dead, so his disguise will not give him away.
Shuichi took the opportunity to steal another glance at her muscles, "Not big, about the size of a xiaolongbao (soup dumpling). Looks like I don't need to pad myself."
"May you rest in peace. I didn't want to use this technique, but I had no choice!" After digging a pit with Earth Release, he put the corpse and his clothes inside, and finally touched her face with one hand.
"The Face-Concealing Technique!"
Aside from the obvious flaw in his crotch, a brand new "Saki" makes a dazzling appearance. After doing all this, Shuichi dashes straight to the Sunagakure base, intending to disguise himself as a defeated ninja fleeing and infiltrate it.
That evening, Shuichi arrived at the main base of Sunagakure at top speed. With him traveling at full speed, the fleeing Sunagakure would definitely not be able to return here faster than him.
On the night of the full moon, in the darkness, Shuichi celebrated his 11th birthday. After the system Status Bar lit up, he immediately added 1 point to his Flash.
I tried it out immediately after adding it and found that the 20-meter all-see-through X-ray vision is much better than the 10-meter one. The most important thing is that it can see through the ground.
"This is fantastic! A 10-meter radius field of vision is a bit limited; even a slight jump could cause you to miss something. Now, this visibility is as stable as a rock."
From this Reconnaissance View, any enemy who dares to attack him from the ground is basically just asking for trouble. Fighting against Rock Village Ninja in the future will be incredibly satisfying.
Their invisibility, Stone Hiding, and burrowing underground techniques are almost completely rendered useless with the help of Cheat/System, instead giving Shuichi countless opportunities to ambush and counter-attack.
Moreover, he hadn't forgotten that a large number of White Zetsu had begun to operate throughout the Shinobi World.
"Were White Zetsu already conducting large-scale surveillance of the Shinobi World?" Shuichi repeatedly recalled the original story. "No, the number should have been quite limited, but I need to be more careful from now on."
This conclusion was reached after careful consideration: White Zetsu is a species that has existed for a long time, and its numbers are controlled by Black Zetsu and released slowly, in order to make Madara believe that these are degraded humans he cultivated using Hashirama Cells and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path.
Given Black Zetsu's cunning and cautious nature, it certainly wouldn't proactively order White Zetsu to scout the Shinobi World.
Madara's Sharingan Genjutsu is too powerful, with a whole bunch of Curse Mark Technique and secret arts. He could probably check someone's memories even more easily than the Yamanaka Clan.
Therefore, Black Zetsu definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to White Zetsu, not even reveal its form, otherwise it would be exposed if Madara suddenly decided to capture it for a look.
"I need to be more discreet from now on. Luckily, my Flash range has increased, so when I'm fighting enemies, I just need to run around, and no White Zetsu, whether hiding underground or in a tree, will be able to escape."
Shuichi declared, "From now on, everything you see is what I want you to see." "Trying to trick me? Not a chance!"
After experiencing the effects of Flash, he began to evaluate another important skill.
Passive Skill (Recovery and Growth): For every year the host grows, the recovery rate of Body Energy and Mental Energy increases by 3, and all basic attributes increase by 3 [currently increased by 33].
For the past few years, Shuichi has been thinking about how to choose his future growth path, including Kekkei Genkai and Tailed Beast Power.
Because the value 3 is a bit small, it's difficult to calculate the relationship between the first and second skills' [effect depends on the host's original state without a system] and the growth of the passive base attributes.
Because children grow very quickly each year, their physical growth is definitely doubled, making it difficult to feel the improvement effect of level 3.
This time, he focused on sensing the changes in his body at the right time, and he was able to determine that the basic attributes would first improve the "pure" original body, and then be enhanced by Cheat/System, rather than the two increasing in succession.
"So each Kekkei Genkai development is a huge boost for me," Shuichi calculated in his mind. "Assuming a successful development triples one chakra gain, and with full system enhancement, it becomes 15 times."
"Also, if I become Jinchuriki, does the chakra of the Tailed Beast count as mine? Does storing one Nine-Tails equal five Nine-Tails?"
