Gained the Flying Thunder God Technique

"Shadow Snake Hand, this ninjutsu is pretty good. I can learn it, and there's an advanced version, Multiple Shadow Snake Hands. Both are practical—I'll learn them both!"

Multiple Shadow Snake Hands is a secret technique created by Orochimaru, classified as a B-rank ninjutsu. It summons far more snakes than Shadow Snake Hand, increasing the technique's versatility!! The multiple large snakes summoned instantly take on roles like intimidation, restraint, and capture, achieving a multi-hit combo effect!! Before the opponent can react, they're already bound!

"Earth Style: Earth Clone, Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet, Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall. Three Earth Style ninjutsu—can't learn them either. Sell them."

"Summoning Technique: Rashomon? A good find!" Chen's eyes lit up as he spotted a ninjutsu recorded on the scroll.

This Rashomon is an ultra-high-level defensive ninjutsu. In the first part's finale, Sakon once used it; though only one gate appeared then, its defense was already formidable, blocking Kiba's super A-rank technique—Fang Wolf Fang. Later, facing a fully unconscious Four-Tails Naruto, Orochimaru summoned three Rashomon gates to withstand the Four-Tails Naruto. However, this technique consumes a considerable amount of chakra, so not just anyone can use it. The summoned triple Rashomon gates were completely obliterated by the Four-Tails Naruto's Tailed Beast Bomb. Moreover, these three gates aren't the limit. In later plot, the First Hokage recalled using Rashomon during his battle with Madara Uchiha. At that time, to block the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, the First Hokage—Hashirama Senju—summoned five Rashomon gates. Their defensive power surpassed Orochimaru's triple Rashomon.

"What I lack most right now is a defensive ninjutsu. This Rashomon comes at just the right time." Don't think Orochimaru's triple Rashomon in the original story was easily smashed by Naruto and assume the technique is garbage—that would be a huge mistake! Remember, Naruto at that point had erupted into his Four-Tails state and used a Tailed Beast Ball; that destructive power isn't something just any ninja can unleash.

"I'll exchange the rest for points, since I won't use them anyway." Chen glanced at the skills on the scroll; nothing else was worth keeping, so he decided to have the system recycle them.

Chen found a usable pen in the lab and recorded three ninjutsu from the scroll: Shadow Snake Hand, Multiple Shadow Snake Hands, and Summoning: Rashomon. Then he said to the system, "System, tally up all the ninjutsu on the scroll and recycle them."

"Ding! Detected 1 A-rank ninjutsu, 3 B-rank ninjutsu, 5 C-rank ninjutsu. Proceed with recycling?"

"Confirmed!" Chen thought it over again; there was really nothing left to learn, so he confirmed to the system.

"Ding! Recycling successful. Host gains points: 8500." The system prompted.

"Haha! I'm rich, I'm rich—I love Snake Uncle! La! La! La! Demacia!" Chen, suddenly gaining a huge windfall of points, was so excited he babbled nonsense. "Looks like I've got protagonist luck too—just wandering around and finding this place. Not only can I learn some powerful ninjutsu, but I also got a bunch of points. So awesome! Haha~~"

"System, check how many points I have in total?" After the excitement, Chen had the system check his points. "Now I should be able to exchange for some stronger skills, right?"

"Host's total points: 12343. Open Exchange Interface?"

"Hmm, the skills I currently know offensively are Finger Gun, Great Fireball, and Chidori. Plus I'll learn Shadow Snake Hand later—that's enough for now. Defensively, I don't have any yet, but I'll master Rashomon later, so no need to exchange for that either. For support, I have the basic Three Basic Ninjutsu Techniques and Geppo. What I'm missing now is a survival skill. This time, I'll exchange for a survival skill!" Chen thought about how he had no survival skill at all and needed to get one first.

"A survival skill—the best would be Obito's Phasing, directly putting you in an invincible position. But that exchange probably isn't simple. Knowing the system's nature, it'll definitely say I can't exchange without a Mangekyo Sharingan!"

"System, can I exchange for Phasing?" Though he didn't have high hopes, Chen still asked the system, since the Phasing skill was too tempting. Didn't you see how Obito in the original story relied on that skill to show off and swindle everywhere? During the Five Kage Summit, he made an incredibly flashy entrance, then declared war with overwhelming presence, and left unscathed and composed. All thanks to this Phasing skill. This Phasing skill is a must-have for showing off!

"Phasing, item type: Skill, item rank: S-rank, exchange points required: 10000. Note: This skill is derived from the Mangekyo Sharingan and requires possession of the Mangekyo Sharingan to exchange. Host conditions insufficient, cannot exchange." The system's emotionless voice shattered Chen's faint hope.

"Heh, knew you'd say that." But Chen, who had already seen through everything, wasn't discouraged. "Survival skill, survival skill..." Chen muttered, his mind racing. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he thought of a very powerful ninjutsu. This technique was also S-rank, usable not only for survival but also to attack enemies.

"System, can I exchange for Flying Thunder God Technique?" Chen asked with eager anticipation, silently praying, Please let it be exchangeable, it has to be exchangeable!

"Flying Thunder God Technique, item type: Skill, item rank: S-rank, exchange points required: 10000. Exchange?" The system's flat voice came through, but its words made Chen ecstatic.

"Exchange, confirm exchange, do it now!" Chen said excitedly.

"Ding! Exchange successful. Points deducted: 10000. Remaining points: 2343."

Warm current, another warm current. The warm current surged into Chen's young body once more. Chen had mastered this awesome skill, his heart brimming with excitement. He finally had a true trump card skill, and it was the Flying Thunder God Technique, such a powerful one. Then, a stream of information appeared in Chen's mind.

Flying Thunder God Technique: This technique is a space-time ninjutsu pioneered by the Second Hokage, using formulas to achieve instant movement and spatial jumps. The caster leaves Flying Thunder God formulas on any surface they can touch. When an enemy's body is marked with the formula, it means they've been inscribed with a death seal.

Flying Thunder God Slash (Second Form): Throw a marked kunai in battle, then instantly teleport to the high-speed moving kunai, catching the enemy off guard and making them hard to defend.

Spinning Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar Third Form: Use special marked kunai and shadow clones in an area filled with marked kunai, teleporting between formulas with the Flying Thunder God technique, and attack the enemy from multiple positions with high-speed taijutsu.

Space-Time Barrier: Use Flying Thunder God on the defensive end, deploying a barrier around oneself with formulas, allowing attacks launched within the barrier to be transferred elsewhere via Flying Thunder God. This is quite similar to Kamui.

Flying Thunder God Space-Time Perception: No hand seals needed. Touch the ground with two fingers or one finger to sense the enemy's numbers and strength.

"So powerful, so powerful. No wonder it's the Fourth Hokage's signature technique." Chen said excitedly. "Let me learn those other ninjutsu too." In high spirits, Chen picked up the Shadow Snake Hand and Summoning: Rashomon he had just copied and studied them.

"Secret Technique: Shadow Snake Hand." After studying it, Chen used the method to perform Shadow Snake Hand. His arm instantly transformed into the shape of a snake, opening its wide mouth to strike at a specimen jar on a nearby shelf, piercing it directly before retracting back into his original arm.

It had to be said, Chen's talent was genius-level. He could use the ninjutsu after just studying it. Though genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, sometimes that one percent inspiration is far more important than the ninety-nine percent perspiration.

Next, Chen activated the skill "Secret Technique: Multiple Shadow Snake Hands." This time, his arm transformed into five or six snakes, striking at various specimen jars on the shelf. Without a doubt, all were shattered.

"Impressive—not only can it strike from a distance, but it can also flexibly dodge, restrain, and capture." Chen praised after retracting the Shadow Snake Hand.

"Now let's try this!" Chen's hands quickly formed hand seals, then he concentrated chakra into his right hand, shaping it into lightning. Because the lightning was too violent, his right hand twitched uncontrollably, forcing Chen to grip his right wrist with his left hand. The lightning in his hand emitted a piercing noise, like hundreds or thousands of birds chirping together.

Once the skill took shape, Chen released his left hand and shouted, "Lightning Style: Chidori!" then thrust it at the table in front of him. "Boom!" The wooden table was blasted into pieces.

"Whoa~~ The destructive power of this Chidori is no joke. The feeling of destroying everything is so satisfying—no wonder Second Pillar loves using it so much." Looking at the shattered table, Chen said excitedly.

"Haha! My strength now should at least be at the Chunin level, right?" Chen suddenly thought about his strength, but he wasn't sure exactly what level he had reached. After all, he had never fought anyone since coming to this world—that Taichi the Idiot definitely didn't count.

"Forget it, I won't dwell on that now. I haven't trained at all this past year, so my strength hasn't improved—it's even regressed a bit. The top priority now is to train back the strength I lost this year!" Chen said firmly.

Strength is everything!
