Two Great Secret Techniques, Together!

Returning to his own house, Yamei's consciousness entered the Sea of Derivations:

[New materials acquired: Shadow Binding Technique, Shadow Tentacle, Shadow Gathering Technique, Partial Expansion Jutsu, Mind Transfer Jutsu, Taijutsu * 2, Chakra * 2…]

"Shikamaru, that guy really likes to play the pig to eat the tiger," Yamei sighed.

Three secret techniques from the Nara Clan directly appeared! There's no need to even mention the drop rate.

As for Choji, he only got the Partial Expansion Jutsu. It's likely he hasn't learned the other Akimichi Clan Secret Techniques yet.

However, even if he had learned them, Yamei wouldn't want them. The thought of himself turning into a rolling ball of flesh made him feel uncomfortable all over.

As for the abilities of the Inuzuka Clan and the Aburame Clan… Yamei didn't want them either. One clan specializes in dealing with dogs, and the other specializes in dealing with insects…

Yamei decided to pass.

What surprised him the most was that Ino already knew the Mind Transfer Jutsu!

But he immediately dismissed the thought. The Mind Transfer Jutsu is very difficult. Perhaps she had only just started learning it, and he was lucky enough for it to drop.

"Perfect, I can derive two new secret techniques to play with!"

Yamei's gaze fell upon the Nara Clan's secret techniques, and he said with a solemn expression, "Analyze Shadow Binding Technique, Shadow Tentacle, Shadow Gathering Technique!"

"Analyze Secret Technique: Perception, Perception Transmission, Mind Transfer Jutsu!"

"Analyze Taijutsu integration into the Art of a Hundred Refinements."

[Analyzing and deriving, estimated derivation time: 8 hours.]

"I'll just sleep, and when I wake up tomorrow, I'll have two more secret techniques!"

Yamei comfortably lay down on his bed.

The next morning, Yamei was awakened by a message from the Sea of Derivations.

[Analysis successful! Derived Secret Technique: Unnamed.]

[Effect: Allows for the exchange of consciousness between two individuals for communication. The maximum distance depends on your perception range.]

[Analysis successful! Derived Secret Technique: To be named.]

[Effect: Manipulate dark shadows, affecting physical objects simultaneously.]

[Taijutsu * 2 has been integrated into the Art of a Hundred Refinements, strengthening the Art of a Hundred Refinements.]

Yamei frowned as he looked at the secret technique derived from the Yamanaka Clan's secret techniques. "It can only connect two people? Right… I'm missing the Mind Body Switch with Transfer!"

Yamei slapped his forehead. Without the Mind Body Switch with Transfer, it can only connect two people!

Ino, oh Ino, try harder! Hurry up and learn the Mind Body Switch with Transfer too.

"I'll name this secret technique: Secret Technique: Empathy."

Yamei's attention shifted to the secret technique derived from the Nara Clan.

A very strong Yin-attribute power. Manipulating dark shadows? If all the Nara Clan's secret techniques were fused into it, would it directly create a Dark Emperor?

"I'll name this one: Secret Technique: Shadow!"

As the two major secret techniques were integrated, Yamei felt his control over the Yin attribute increase significantly.

With a casual flick of his hand… the shadow beneath his feet began to change shape continuously, finally forming a tentacle that began to help him wash up.

"This is very convenient!"

Yamei's eyes lit up. With the assistance of Shadow, he quickly finished washing and dressing. After preparing everything he needed, he headed to the Ninja Academy.

As soon as he entered the classroom, Yamei felt an extremely complex gaze. Following it, he saw Sasuke staring at him.

Yamei was stunned. What's going on… Sasuke now goes home to find his brother every day, and they don't interact much. Why is he looking at me like this?

Being caught staring made Sasuke a little flustered, and he turned his head away.

Seeing this, Yamei chuckled and didn't mind. He went to sit next to Ino when she called him.

"Is this Yamei… really as strong as my brother said?"

After Yamei sat down, Sasuke secretly observed him again.

Last night, after he went home, Itachi approached him and told him to try and befriend Yamei if he had the chance. This confused him.

Then he heard Itachi say that Yamei's strength was formidable!

This made him very curious about Yamei, after all, this was someone his own brother acknowledged! He himself hadn't even earned his brother's acknowledgment yet!

Sasuke's slightly conflicted expression also caught Yamei's attention. After a moment of thought, Yamei understood. It seemed Itachi had mentioned him.

Is he trying to get Sasuke and me to build a relationship? It seems that although Itachi hasn't explicitly stated it, he's gradually starting to trust me, perhaps because of Shisui?

Shaking his head, time quickly came to noon. Everyone gathered together, taking out their bento boxes.

"Yamei, hurry up and bring out your stir-fried dishes!" Naruto swallowed hard!

Every noon, his most anticipated meal was lunch. Yamei's cooking was the most delicious, and he would also thoughtfully prepare extra.

"Naruto! You've been freeloading off Yamei all this time! Next time, you have to treat!" Ino spoke up for Yamei.

"Uh… I will! It's just that I can't cook!" Naruto scratched his head.

"How about we have dinner at your place next time?" Yamei said with a smile.

"Really? That's great! It's settled then!"

Naruto was overjoyed and touched. 'Yamei is such a good person! I finally have a good friend who can come over to my place!'

At this moment, Yamei suddenly noticed Sasuke taking out his bento alone to eat and couldn't help but say, "Sasuke, want to join us? It's boring eating alone."

Sasuke was stunned. He hadn't expected Yamei to call him at all and appeared a bit flustered. His awkwardness was inexplicably cute...

"Hey! Yamei, why are you calling this guy? He doesn't like hanging out with us..." Naruto pouted unhappily.

"Shut up, Naruto!" Haruno Sakura hit Naruto on the head and looked at Sasuke, "Sasuke, come over quickly!"

Haruno Sakura had also asked Sasuke to join them several times before, but Sasuke had ignored her.

Ino, Shikamaru, and others also turned to look.

"Could it be... Sasuke is shy?" Yamei's tone deliberately carried a hint of surprise.

"I... How could I be shy! Hmph... I'm coming over right now!" Sasuke jumped up as if his tail had been stepped on and walked over with a slight blush on his face.

Seeing Sasuke like this, Yamei almost burst out laughing.

Sasuke at this stage... is really tsundere and cute!

If he were a girl, he would be absolutely adorable!

Sasuke's joining didn't change much for them; they continued to chat and laugh as usual.

It was just that Naruto kept eating and seemed to be at odds with Sasuke.

After school in the afternoon, Yamei arrived at the training grounds, with Ino and Hinata following behind him.

When the two girls learned that Yamei would be at the training grounds after school, they also expressed their desire to train, and Yamei naturally agreed.

He planned to teach Hinata and Ino the Art of a Hundred Refinements, and he would also teach Ino the derived Secret Technique: Empathy.

Both girls were people close to him, and naturally, he could help them if he became stronger. Although the techniques weren't perfect yet, it wouldn't hinder their learning.

Moreover, once they learned the Art of a Hundred Refinements, as long as the foundation of their Taijutsu didn't change, they would be able to quickly learn his improved techniques in the future!

First, he would build a physical foundation for them, and cultivate Taijutsu from a young age. They would become even stronger as they grew!

After all, in the future, unless it was a very powerful Ninjutsu, Taijutsu would often play the biggest role. At that time, relying solely on the Art of a Hundred Refinements, they would have enough power to protect themselves!

The three of them trained in the training grounds until sunset. Yamei then escorted the two girls back to their respective homes.

As soon as Yamei reached his doorstep, his eyes instantly shifted towards the direction of the Konoha back mountain.
