The Ninja World's Swift Trait, and Unity Like Tobirama and Izuna! (Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Updates)

[Collectible trait detected: Human Puppet Technique]

[C-Rank Trait: Human Puppet Technique]

[Effect: Improves the body's adaptability to puppets, allowing for seamless use of puppets to replace limbs.]

[Synthesis: Mastering the core technology of human puppetry will upgrade this trait to a higher level.]

Qingyu raised an eyebrow as she looked at the text that popped up in front of her.

Human Puppet Technique.

He completely replaced his own flesh and blood with puppet parts, and ultimately placed his consciousness in the puppet.

This technology can indeed grant ninjas immense power and near-infinite lifespan, but the price is the complete abandonment of their human identity.

"Mechanical ascension? ----"

Qingyu shook her head inwardly.

This is a wrong path.

In the Shinobi World, bloodline matters.

Even those who rely on technology, like Orochimaru and Yakushi Kabuto, steal the bloodline power of others to become stronger.

However, this also means that the upper limit is completely locked, and the strength of the puppet will only depend on the materials used to make it.

Moreover, Qingyu had no interest in becoming a puppet. Just imagining his body's organs being removed and replaced with cold, lifeless parts made him feel uncomfortable.

However, this enhanced puppeteer talent can be used for his future puppet development.

Qingyu had no interest in becoming a puppet.

But couldn't we just make a puppet armor?

Minato Namikaze stared at the enormous spider puppet, his expression turning grave.

He could sense how immense the Dragon Vein Chakra surging within Anrokuzan was, far exceeding the limits that ordinary ninjas could withstand.

Being able to possess such a vast amount of Chakra, Anrokuzan's self-modification had far surpassed the level expected of an ordinary puppeteer.

"Anrokuzan, you actually transformed yourself into a puppet?"

Minato Namikaze.

In his understanding, puppeteers fight by controlling external puppets, and the puppets themselves are merely tools.

But Anrokuzan went a step further, turning his own body into a puppet.

Minato Namikaze had never seen anyone so crazy before.

Sasori hasn't made a name for himself yet, so Minato Namikaze finds it hard to imagine that someone would abandon their physical body and become a puppet.

"Hahahaha, Minato Namikaze, someone as blessed with talent as you will never understand. You are born with talent, while I have nothing. I can only rely on my own hands to change and strengthen myself!"

"Now I have surpassed the limits of humanity, possessing an immortal body. The power of the Dragon Vein is with me. I will conquer the entire Shinobi World and bring all nations into my puppet empire!"

Anrokuzan burst into laughter.

Upon hearing Minato Namikaze stopped trying to reason with Anrokuzan and unleashed a Shuriken with his right hand.

Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!

Dozens of Kunai split into hundreds in mid-air and rained down on the spider puppet.

At the same time, Minato Namikaze's figure flashed among the Kunai, each teleportation bringing him back to his hand with a Kunai in hand.

A giant Chakra ball simultaneously condensed in his right palm, dozens of times larger than a regular "Rasengan".

Big Ball Rasengan!

Minato Namikaze appeared directly beneath the spider puppet's abdomen and slammed the "Big Ball Rasengan" down on it.

Boom!

The enormous Chakra ball exploded in the spider puppet's abdomen, the violent rotational force shredding the area into fragments.

Purple dragon Dragon Vein Chakra gushed out from the breach, and the spider puppet's massive body staggered back a few steps.

Minato Namikaze used the force of the explosion to fly away, landing on a Chakra conduit.

His gaze swept over Anrokuzan, then turned to Qingyu.

He accelerated the development of the "Big Ball Rasengan" because Qingyu's research on the Chakra Nature Transformation of the Rasengan inspired him.

Qingyu can incorporate the nature transformation of Lightning Style into the Rasengan to create an invisible Lightning Style: Rasengan, then why can't he directly amplify the power of the Rasengan?

The answer is this: while maintaining the precision of Chakra shape transformation, the amount of Chakra injected is increased, turning it into a larger "Rasengan".

[Collectible trait detected: Rasengan Family Pack]

[D-Rank Trait: Rasengan Family Pack]

[Effect: The Chakra Nature Transformation of "Rasengan" will be easier to control.]

[Synthesis: Mastering "Big Ball Rasengan" will upgrade this trait to a higher level.]

He truly is a genius.

Qingyu raised an eyebrow; Minato Namikaze had actually developed the "Big Ball Rasengan."

Naruto's is pure Chakra quantity, built up by simply piling it up.

However, Minato Namikaze must have used superb Chakra control, not wasting a single Chakra, to unleash such power.

The wound on the spider puppet's abdomen healed rapidly under the infusion of Dragon Vein Chakra, returning to its original state within seconds.

Anrokuzan's face loomed over the crowd from the spider's head, a ferocious smile spreading across his lips.

"I am immortal here!"

Anrokuzan continued to manipulate the puppets to surround the crowd.

In order to conquer the Shinobi World, Anrokuzan secretly used 99% of the population of the entire Rōran country to assemble puppets to maintain the city's power.

There are now as many as twenty to thirty thousand of these puppets.

If the battle hadn't been so rushed, the puppets would have been enough to engulf this place.

Hinata Hyuga, took a deep breath, and pale blue Chakra appeared in her palm.

"Gentle Fist: Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!"

With a deafening roar, a bunch of puppets were blasted apart by Hinata Hyuga.

Kakashi charged into the group of puppets from the side.

Chidori!

The blue-white lightning flashed through the air, accompanied by a piercing bird-like cry.

He transformed into a streak of blue and white lightning, charging straight towards the group of puppets ahead.

His figure charged wildly through the sea of puppets.

Wherever the lightning of "Chidori" passed, it pierced through the puppets' hard shells.

After recovering some Chakra, Genma Shiranui quickly continued using Ninjutsu.

"Damn it, what level is this mission?"

Genma Shiranui was having some existential doubts; it seemed like she was always getting overpowered in every mission.

Is this a situation he should be playing in?

At this moment, Genma Shiranui regretted joining this team.

But he had no choice but to continue using Ninjutsu.

"The Senbon Rain Technique!"

A massive number of Senbon books swept through the puppet horde.

Immediately, many puppets were hit in the joints, stopped in their tracks, and waited to be repaired.

"Well done, Genma Shiranui!"

Obito shouted, his Sharingan flashing, his hands forming hand Hand Seals, and his chest swelling.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"

A huge fireball spewed from his mouth, tumbling and crashing into the puppets whose speed had been slowed down by the Senbon Rain.

Flames exploded among the puppets, the intense heat scorching their outer shells.

Obito, panting heavily, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

In the instant Obito, an alien puppet bypassed the defenses from the side and pounced on him, its arm equipped with a giant drill already raised high.

Obito's pupils contracted; it was too late to Hand Seals.

He instinctively crossed his arms in front of him, but he knew in his heart that with the destructive power of that puppet, his arms would not be able to stop it at all.

A golden light flashed.

Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Obito.

The Flying Thunder God Kunai sliced through the alien puppet's joints, severing its arm that was holding the drill.

Immediately afterward, Minato Namikaze's figure flashed again, appearing behind the puppet and blasting it into pieces with a "Rasengan".

"Don't get distracted, Obito."

Minato Namikaze opening.

Obito nodded quickly.

"I'm sorry, Minato-sensei."

Minato Namikaze didn't say anything more, he just patted him on the shoulder gently, and then disappeared into the golden light again.

Tsunade watched the spider puppet constantly reassembling before her, a serious look flashing in her brown-gold eyes.

These puppets and Anrokuzan are completely indestructible.

Although the intensity isn't high, if it continues, their Chakra will run out.

"Tsunade, your Strength of a Hundred is truly legendary."

Anrokuzan's voice came from the ferocious face of the spider's head, his tone laced with mockery.

"You can split me in two with a single punch; in the Shinobi World, you're probably the only one capable of that."

The spider puppet used all eight legs to exert force simultaneously, and its massive body lunged towards Tsunade at high speed.

Tsunade stood still, raised her right leg high, and then slammed it down with tremendous force.

Heaven Kick of Pain!

Boom!

The ground shattered beneath Tsunade's feet, and the spider puppet's entire head was stomped into the ground.

But this did not end the battle.

The spider puppet's body exploded with a deafening roar, scattering into countless fragments that flew in all directions. These fragments then reassembled in mid-air, transforming into several small Humanoid Puppet that attacked Tsunade from different angles.

Tsunade crossed her arms in front of her.

The small puppets' attacks landed on her arm, making a series of loud thuds.

Although these small puppets were far less powerful than the spider form, their sheer number and the tricky angles they came from forced Tsunade to take a half-step back by the dense barrage of attacks.

Minato Namikaze's figure flickered behind Tsunade.

"Lady Tsunade, please step back."

Tsunade dodged to the side.

Minato Namikaze intended to crush Anrokuzan even further.

The next moment, the enormous "Big Ball Rasengan" slammed down.

Boom!

Anrokuzan's territory was almost completely destroyed in Setsuna.

Unfortunately, even with only a few scattered fragments, Anrokuzan was able to regenerate them.

Qingyu frowned slightly as she watched this scene.

He had been using his Sharingan to observe Anrokuzan's Chakra flow.

As long as the Dragon Vein continues to supply Chakra, Anrokuzan is indeed immortal.

In his vision, there were dozens of thick purple Chakra Threads inside Anrokuzan's puppet body, all of which pointed in the same direction: the tower above.

However, the entire Rōran was filled with tall towers, making it impossible to destroy them all at the same time.

The only thing that can be done is to sever the Dragon Vein Nexus.

"The supply of Dragon Vein Chakra must be cut off."

Qingyu Sharingan up, telling Minato Namikaze what he had observed with his Sharingan.

Minato Namikaze nodded.

"I noticed that too, but I don't know how to find the central location of the Dragon Vein."

"I can."

Queen Sara spoke.

During that time, she witnessed Anrokuzan's atrocities firsthand, and she also saw the efforts these Konoha Ninja made to protect her people.

She was the queen of Rōran.

Her people are being enslaved deep underground, cities are occupied by puppets, and her mother has been killed by Anrokuzan.

If she continues to hide behind others, what right does she have to call herself the Queen of Rōran?

"The location of the Dragon Vein Nexus is known only to the Queen of Roran throughout history."

Queen Sara raised her head and looked at Anrokuzan.

"Sara, do you think I don't know what you're planning?"

He raised his right arm, his palm clenching loosely, and the surrounding puppet fragments were simultaneously drawn by the Dragon Vein Chakra.

The fragments spun rapidly in the air, coalescing into a metallic storm that surged toward Qingyu.

Qingyu pushed Sara back and Hand Seals, intending to use Water Release Ninjutsu, but the fragments were moving faster than he had anticipated.

They bypassed Qingyu's water wall, surging in from the side and rear simultaneously, enveloping Qingyu completely.

"Have you locked me up?"

Qingyu remained calm, immediately wielding Muramasa in his left hand and Sword of the Thunder God in his right.

The fragments piled up in the air, eventually coalescing into a giant Humanoid Puppet six meters tall.

The puppet's chest and abdomen trapped Qingyu in the very core.

Anrokuzan burst into laughter.

Upon Hinata Hyuga immediately went to support Qingyu.

Lightning Style Chakra and Gentle Fist Chakra merged in her palm, transforming into two ferocious lion heads.

Lightning Style: Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists!

Hyuga Ginka's eyes widened.

This is a secret advanced taijutsu Taijutsu that only the Main Family can teach. At the same time, she did not expect that Hinata Hyuga would also possess Lightning Style Chakra, combining Lightning Style Chakra with Gentle Fist Chakra.

Anrokuzan's expression changed, and he was about to increase the support of the puppets.

But before Hinata Hyuga could even attack him, cracks began to appear in the puppet's abdomen.

At the edge of the crack, scorching flames erupted from one side, while blue-white arcs of electricity leaped from the other.

Rumble!

In Qingyu's left hand Muramasa, its blade wreathed in raging flames, while in his right hand was the Sword of the Thunder God, its blade crackling with blue-white electric arcs.

With two swords cleaving to the left and right respectively, Qingyu tore apart Anrokuzan's giant puppet in an instant.

Lightning-Fire Sword!

Qingyu simultaneously employed two different sword techniques.

Muramasa and Raijin Sword of the Thunder God Tsurugi were both swords worn by Izuna Uchiha and Senju Tobirama their lifetimes, and both were incredibly sharp.

At this moment, in Qingyu's hands, there was a complementary relationship.

Qingyu could even feel that Senju Tobirama and Izuna Uchiha were united under his command to fight against external enemies.

"That's what bonds are."

Qingyu chuckled as she looked at Anrokuzan's astonished expression.

Anrokuzan maximized his recovery ability, but his defense was lacking, making it impossible for him to withstand Qingyu's divine weapon.

"!

"You actually managed to escape!"

However, before Anrokuzan could react, Hinata Hyuga's attack arrived.

Anrokuzan, whose attention was focused on Qingyu, neglected Hinata Hyuga, and most of the puppet's body was destroyed.

Anrokuzan roared to the sky, his remaining body frantically absorbing the surrounding Dragon Vein Chakra, and the destroyed parts began to regenerate within seconds.

Just then, Minato Namikaze appeared in front of Anrokuzan.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

In the next instant, Minato Namikaze and Anrokuzan vanished from their spots.

A loud bang came from afar, and Anrokuzan's core was teleported by Minato Namikaze to the farthest corner of the underground space.

This will at least buy him a few dozen seconds.

Minato Namikaze teleported back to Qingyu's side once again, took out a specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai from his Ninja Tool Pouch, and put it into Qingyu's hand.

"Qingyu, take Queen Sara to the Dragon Vein Nexus. This Kunai has my Flying Thunder God Formula on it. Once we find it, I'll teleport there instantly."

He turned to look at Queen Sara.

"Queen Sara, I beg you."

Sara nodded vigorously, took the hand Qingyu offered, and leaned against his back again.

Qingyu tucked the Flying Thunder God Kunai into the Ninja Tool Pouch at his waist and Hand Seals.

[Collectible Trait Detected: Ninja World's Swift]

[B-Rank Trait: Ninja World's Swift]

[Effect: Increases the effectiveness of Body Flicker Technique- type Ninjutsu by 100%.]

[Synthesis: Learning the Flying Thunder God Technique will upgrade this trait to a higher level.]

Looking at this trait, Qingyu instantly felt a warm sensation in her legs.

"I understand, Brother Minato."

Qingyu said.

The next moment, four petals appeared on the purple mark on Qingyu's forehead.

Yin Seal - Released!

A network of crisscrossing black lines spread from his forehead to his entire body.

The massive amount of Chakra accumulated within the "Yin Seal" surged forth and poured into his body.

Qingyu took a deep breath and pushed off with her legs.

His figure vanished from the spot, leaving only a blurry afterimage and a shockwave generated by his high-speed movement.

As expected, Qingyu felt that her speed had increased significantly.

Sara lay on Qingyu's back, only able to hear the whistling wind in her ears.

Her red hair was whipped up by the wind, leaving a vivid trail of flame behind her.

She instinctively buried her face in Qingyu's shoulder and wrapped her arms tightly around his neck.

Anrokuzan was anxious; if they succeeded, it would be the end for him.

So he frantically drove all the puppets he could control to chase after Qingyu.

But Minato Namikaze and the others had already blocked his way.

Tsunade made the first move.

She concentrated her Chakra in her right leg, spun half a circle around, and then, with the force of a thunderbolt, raised her right leg high, heel pointing downwards, and slammed it down.

Heaven Kick of Pain!

Boom!

The earth cracked beneath Tsunade's feet, and a fissure tens of meters long spread out from her feet, splitting the giant puppet that Anrokuzan had just reassembled in two.

Anrokuzan's massive body crashed to the ground with a loud thud.

"Don't even think about going there!"

Tsunade's brown-gold eyes glared at Anrokuzan, who was preparing to rebuild himself once again.

Taking advantage of the moment when the puppet fell to the ground, Kakashi quickly Hand Seals, simultaneously conjuring Chidori from his main body and Shadow Clone.

He increased the distance between his main body and his Shadow Clone, and a thick chain of lightning stretched out between the "Chidori".

Lightning Style: Lightning Transmission!

Under his control, the lightning chain swept out like a blue and white electric chain, severing the eight spider legs on Anrokuzan's puppet body.

Anrokuzan's body lost its support and crashed heavily to the ground.

His spider head split open into a hideous maw, within which purple Dragon Vein Chakra rapidly converged.

Puppet Transformation: Dragon Vein Great Fireball!

A massive purple fireball erupted from the giant mouth, tumbling towards Kakashi.

Minato Namikaze appeared instantly beside Kakashi, placing one hand on his shoulder.

Flying Thunder God Technique!

The two figures vanished from their spot, Dragon Vein Great Fireball roared past where they had just stood, crashing into the wall of the underground space and exploding with a deafening roar.

The wall was blasted open, leaving a huge hole more than ten meters long.

You think you can escape?!

Anrokuzan roared.

All the puppets, fragments, and even building components in the entire underground space were drawn towards him by the Dragon Vein Chakra.

The fragments spun rapidly in the air, continuously filling the wounded areas of Anrokuzan.

His body began to swell, eventually transforming into a giant puppet eighteen meters tall.

At the core of the giant puppet, Anrokuzan's face emerged from the metal fragments.

"Look! This is my ultimate form!"

Anrokuzan's voice echoed in the underground space.

Minato Namikaze looked up at the gigantic puppet before him, a figure comparable in size to Tailed Beast.

Tsunade stood beside him, her expression equally grave.

"Minato needs a large summoning beast."

Minato Namikaze nodded, bit his thumb until it bled, Hand Seals, and slammed his palm into the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

A huge plume of smoke exploded, and a red Toad, slightly smaller than Anrokuzan's puppet, emerged from the smoke.

Gamabunta had a huge pipe dangling from his mouth and a short sword several meters long hanging from his waist.

"Gamabunta, this time our opponent is a giant puppet powered by Dragon Vein Chakra. I need your help."

Minato Namikaze stood atop Gamabunta's head and spoke to his summoned beast.

Gamabunta opened his eyes, looked at the huge puppet opposite him, and exhaled a puff of smoke from his mouth.

"This time the opponent is much stronger than last time."

At the same time, Tsunade bit her thumb and used Summoning Jutsu.

The Slug's enormous body emerged from the smoke.

"Lady Tsunade, this battle is quite large."

The Slug's voice remained gentle.

"Please, Lord Slug."

Tsunade said.

Gamabunta launched the first attack.

He drew the short sword from his waist and slashed at Anrokuzan.

Anrokuzan raised his arm, which was made up of countless fragments, and caught the knife with his bare hands.

The Slug's antennae twitched slightly, and a stream of clear, acidic mucus spurted from its mouth.

The Tongue Tooth Sticky Acid!

Anrokuzan's limbs were immediately corroded.

The battle intensified immediately.

On the other side, Qingyu quickened her pace as she listened to the sounds of fierce fighting coming from behind her.

Qingyu continued to carry Sara on his back as they sped toward the Dragon Vein Nexus, with many puppets chasing after him.

Without turning his head, Qingyu alternated between slashing with Muramasa and Sword of the Thunder God.

With his right hand, Muramasa unleashed "Uchiha Style: Flame Flash".

Fire Release Chakra condensed into flames on the blade, leaving a trail of burning fire where the blade sliced through, cleaving the puppet in front of it in two.

With the Sword of the Thunder God in his left hand, he used the Cloud Village Style Swordsmanship copied from Inari, unleashing streaks of blue and white lightning.

Thunder and fire clashed, and blades flashed.

Qingyu cut through the puppets' obstacles and sped towards the dragon Dragon Vein Nexus with Sara in tow.

Queen Sara lay on Qingyu's back.

--

Because Qingyu's hands were both full, she could only hook her arms around Qingyu's neck and then squeeze her legs tightly around Qingyu's waist to prevent herself from falling.

At this moment, she couldn't help but marvel at the ninja's fighting style.

More and more puppets appeared behind them.

Qingyu sheathed Muramasa, bit his thumb, and formed a hand Hand Seals with one hand.

Bang!

He summoned a Slug clone.

"Slug, help me enter 'Sage Mode'."

"Lord Qingyu, but your current state can only sustain Sage Mode for a few seconds at most."

That's enough.

Qingyu said.

Seeing this, the Slug climbed onto Qingyu's shoulder.

Queen Sara looked at the Slug with curiosity; she had heard that ninjas had their own summoned beasts.

The Slug's soft body swelled slightly, continuously channeling a stream of Natural Energy into Qingyu's body.

The three types of energy within Qingyu's body—physical energy, spiritual energy, and Natural Energy —are rapidly merging.

A few seconds later, a faint red eyeshadow appeared at the corner of Qingyu's eyes.

He mobilized all the "Senjutsu Chakra" that had just gathered within his body.

Sage Technique: Yin Release Projection: Explosive Tag Technique!

Countless gray Projection Explosive Tag appeared behind Qingyu.

The number of these Explosive Tag was several times greater than the number he normally projected, densely covering the entire passage.

This is a technique created by Qingyu himself.

Immediately afterwards, a large number of Explosive Tag exploded continuously behind them with a loud rumble.

The entire palace was shaking violently.

Minato Namikaze and the others, who were some distance away, also sensed the commotion.

What happened up ahead?

Tsunade frowned.

Minato Namikaze, on the other hand, used his senses and detected an aura of Natural Energy gathering in the distance.

Could it be "Senjutsu"?

Minato Namikaze was inwardly surprised.

Qingyu has signed a contract with Shikkotsu Forest, so Qingyu is the only one who might be able to use "Senjutsu".

Anrokuzan, on the other hand, became even more violent.
