Naruto Bloodline Theory? Just Trash

Mingren, who had a grudge against Konoha, had been keeping his eye on them all along.

Just as Shido Akimichi was about to use the Human Bullet Tank.

Mingren's voice carried over. "Where do you think you're going, fatso?"

Twenty-Eight: Flaw

Shido Akimichi, who had originally wanted to avoid this chaos, froze instantly.

"This is bad..."

Kaede Yamanaka immediately frowned.

Of all times, it had to be now...

Then, an idea struck him, and he said to Shido Akimichi, "Shido, I don't think he was talking about you... After all, it's pitch-black out here..."

Who knows who he was referring to.

Only then did Shido Akimichi calm down.

His somewhat intimidating face returned to its usual simple and honest look.

Kaede Yamanaka breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Because of their inherited genes and the nature of their techniques, the Akimichi Clan was prone to having—and required—plump builds, as that was the only way to possess enough physical energy.

Clearly, Yang Release secret techniques such as the Expansion Jutsu required extremely high energy reserves.

The Akimichi Clan also had special stomachs that could easily convert digested food into fat.

Over time.

A plump physique became their signature appearance.

And because of that, the word "fat" was an absolute taboo.

However, the next second.

Mingren's voice rang out again, this time even nastier. "You dead fatso from the Akimichi Clan, I'm asking you, where are you going?!"

The Akimichi Clan's weakness.

Was that they could not stand others commenting on their build.

Watching him and that Yamanaka Clan brat fawn and grovel before that high-ranking noble.

Mingren was so disgusted he wanted to puke.

Fawning and groveling were indeed human nature.

But fawning without distinguishing right from wrong was another matter entirely.

"Roar~~~~!!"

Shido Akimichi roared as his body swelled into a sphere.

"No! One~! Gets to call me fat!!! Human Bullet Tank!!!"

With his limbs and head tucked into his round body, Shido Akimichi shot toward the source of the voice with a boom, rolling like a wheel.

He tore through everything in his path.

Like a massive truck charging into a crowd.

Under his wanton crushing force, not a single person could withstand him.

Whether they had noticed him or not, every unfortunate soul along the way was swept in.

In an instant, they either suffered shattered bones and torn tendons or were crushed into pulp on the spot, dying immediately.

Mingren also let out a low shout and threw a punch at Shido Akimichi.

Bang!!!

Amid a terrifying boom, Shido Akimichi was stopped for an instant.

Then, Mingren staggered backward.

"Roar~~~!"

The moment Mingren steadied himself, Shido Akimichi had already charged before him again.

With another bang, the two collided once more.

This time.

Mingren was driven back even farther. The Akimichi Clan was born with tremendous strength. In the Original Work, Choji Akimichi had a Strength score of "6" at age twelve while still a genin. By thirteen, during the Chunin Exam, it had risen to "7." By sixteen, in Shippuden, his base stat had reached "10"...

Combined with their Yang Release secret techniques.

The Akimichi Clan's strength could be called explosive.

"What's going on?!"

Kaede Yamanaka shut his eyes tightly.

It was nearly impossible to see far in the darkness.

So, he switched his Chakra to "Sensory Mode."

Using his senses, he quickly discovered Mingren's abnormality.

"His Chakra hasn't weakened at all, and his physical energy hasn't dropped either... He clashed head-on with Shido in taijutsu and still wasn't severely injured?!"

In an instant.

He connected him with the murderer of Shikahide Nara, Hokuto Hyuga, and the others.

His sharp mind instantly analyzed a great deal of information.

Kaede Yamanaka: "If that's the case..."

Just as Mingren was about to change tactics.

Kaede Yamanaka formed the hand seal for a secret technique, using Sensory Mode to lock onto Mingren's figure in the darkness.

"Mind Disturbance Body Technique!!"

Invisible Mental Energy shot out in an instant, striking Mingren's body.

Mingren's body stiffened.

Then Kaede Yamanaka shouted, "It hit! Shido... attack him!"

The Mind "Disturbance" Body Technique.

Was a secret technique capable of disrupting another person's mind, preventing them from freely controlling their body.

It was usually paired with the Mind "Transfer" Body Technique, which could possess another's body, with the appropriate technique chosen according to the situation.

Mingren's immense Chakra reserves and exceptionally resilient willpower.

Greatly weakened the secret technique's duration.

But even if it lasted only an instant.

It was enough for Shido Akimichi to seize the opportunity.

After all, the coordination of Ino-Shika-Cho could be called seamless.

Without a second thought, Shido Akimichi began rolling again.

His enormous body slammed into Mingren like a Cannonball.

Bang!!!

Mingren's body flew backward and crashed into the hard wall.

A huge dent instantly appeared.

Dense, spiderweb-like Cracks spread in every direction.

"Puh...!"

A tidal wave of pain swept over him.

Having taken the hit head-on without any defense, multiple bones in his body had fractured, and he was bleeding internally.

"!"

Asuka, who was also forming hand seals to sense the area, sharply noticed Mingren's condition.

Unlike Ryu and the others, who were blindly feeling their way through the darkness.

Her sensory advantage allowed her to perceive everything through another kind of "vision."

"Don't worry."

However, Shennong Shook His Head.

"That kid is fine..."

"Whew..."

Shido Akimichi let out a breath.

His head and limbs emerged.

He glanced at his opponent.

This guy's body was indeed tough, but against the Akimichi Clan's special Yang Release Constitution, he was still trying to stop a chariot with a mantis's arms.

In the Ninja World, no clan existed that could compete with the Akimichi Clan in strength!

But the next moment.

A burst of heavy breathing sounded.

"?!"

Shido Akimichi's pupils shrank.

He met a pair of eyes in the darkness, burning with Black Fire.

Perhaps it was an illusion.

Both were black, yet the darkness within those eyes seemed deeper somehow, making them clearly visible.

"..."

Mingren slowly rose to his feet under Shido Akimichi's incredulous gaze...

His muscles writhed, and his bones cracked.

In only a short time, his injured body seemed to have returned to normal.

"Aah~~~!"

Seeing that his opponent was not dead.

And remembering how the other party had called him a dead fatso.

Shido Akimichi roared.

Then he started running.

With every step, his body began expanding.

Before long, the entire hall seemed to tremble.

His 1.5-meter body swelled to 3 meters through the Expansion Jutsu, and Shido Akimichi had practically become a small giant.

A palm the size of a wok, carrying incomparably immense power, fiercely slapped toward Mingren.

Whoosh!

Mingren's body suddenly flashed.

He moved directly to the side.
