Transformation Technique - Adult Fanma Denji

"For first-year students, the Clone Technique is the only ninjutsu we need to master at this stage, and it serves as the foundation for all high-level ninjutsu. The three basics are the Transformation Technique, Clone Technique, and Substitution Technique; many signature moves used by jonin are derived from these fundamental arts."

"For example, the Wood Clone Technique used by the renowned God of Shinobi, our great First Hokage Senju Hashirama, so everyone must practice diligently."

The Multi-Shadow Clone Technique that would later make Naruto famous, Konan's Paper Clone, and Sai's Ink Clone were all born from the foundation of the Clone Technique. Furthermore, the Anbu utilize the Three Body Techniques—the Body Flicker Technique, the Binding Technique, and the Stealth Technique—though those are arts only accessible to jonin.

However, what we are learning today is not the Clone Technique, but the Transformation Technique, which Naruto would later popularize and modify into the Sexy Technique.

As Iruka explained, Akimichi Denji's 20 points of spirit allowed him to grasp the principles behind the Three Body Techniques.

He looked at his status panel, where [Transformation Technique (Uninitiated)] had suddenly appeared under ninjutsu.

He chose not to spend points on the technique, as Akimichi Denji wanted to see the limits of his own specialized training.

After all, adding points was an instantaneous affair; as long as he could manage, it was better to save his Wish Points for more pressing situations.

Naruto leaned over and asked, "Do you know how to do this technique?"

Denji shook his head: "I don't quite understand it yet." His hands clumsily formed the seals Iruka had just taught.

Naruto grinned, looking as if his scheme had succeeded: "Don't worry, since I ate your food, I'll teach you."

He patiently explained the seals Iruka had just demonstrated to Akimichi Denji.

Seeing this, Iruka nodded with satisfaction: "Helping each other, living in harmony and friendship—truly the children I am proud to teach."

Hidden in the shadows, the Third Hokage also nodded in approval; he had not misjudged the boy. In just one day, he had helped the isolated Naruto find a companion. Though he was a child who had emerged from the Land of Rain, he possessed a purer Will of Fire.

Akimichi Denji, however, looked at Naruto in surprise. Just then, his panel popped up with a notification:

[Wish Completed: The Failure's Troubles].

[Wish Point +1].

Denji understood immediately; Naruto saw him as a fellow failure and was looking for a sense of validation.

He shook his head, not taking it to heart.

For him, this was a good thing!

He had earned a Wish Point and managed to get closer to Naruto.

Two birds with one stone!

He continued to form the seals, constantly honing his craft. Everything about ninjutsu felt incredibly novel to him; his fingers would occasionally tangle, and his movements were very stiff.

Suddenly, he felt a spark of inspiration. His hand movements became fluid, and his chakra flowed through his meridians in a specific pattern. A flash of insight struck him, and he realized he was about to succeed.

The prerequisite for the Transformation Technique is to visualize the form you wish to take.

What should he become?

Denji's mind instantly locked onto his goal. His path of the ninja was rooted in strengthening his physique; what would he look like if he became a master of physical prowess?

As the smoke cleared, a figure stepped out.

Standing at one meter ninety, with shoulders as broad as a mountain, he blocked the classroom doorway entirely. His tight black combat gear looked as if it were about to burst from the sheer muscle beneath; his pectorals were like plates of cast iron, his abs were carved like stone, and his arms were thicker than the thighs of an average child, with veins coiling over them like dragons.

His red hair, like the dying embers of a fire, hung coldly over his forehead.

That face still held faint traces of Akimichi Denji's features—the jawline was sharp as a blade, the nose bridge high, and the brow bone protruded like a cliff. There was a hint of Akimichi Choza in his eyes, but the aura he exuded was entirely different from that of the gentle and honest head of the Akimichi clan.

He looked like he had walked straight out of Baki.

Not an Akimichi, but a Hanma.

Yamanaka Ino was stunned: "Is this Denji? He's so handsome—did he transform into his future self?"

Ino couldn't help but shout: "So cool!"

The sweat from her own practice soaked her collar uncontrollably.

Hinata, who had been silently watching Denji, was also dazed, her empty white eyes fixed on the one-meter-ninety giant that was Akimichi Denji.

"As expected of someone taught by yours truly." Naruto was stunned, seemingly not expecting such a quick success, but he immediately reacted by giving a thumbs-up and grinning broadly.

Seeing the commotion, Iruka walked over: "Well done."

Based on his past teaching experience, performing a transformation this quickly—especially considering Denji had never touched ninjutsu before—showed decent talent.

But he hadn't expected Denji's first transformation to be his future self.

Usually, children transformed into people they were familiar with; for instance, Naruto's first transformation had been into Sakura.

"Does he feel too weak right now, and is he impatient to become stronger?"

Akimichi Denji stared blankly at his own muscles. Just a moment ago, he had simply focused his spirit and thought about his future path of the ninja, and he had ended up like this.

He didn't look like a ninja; he looked like a beast.

He muttered to himself: My path of the ninja... it seems it doesn't have to be so ordinary?

Denji then voluntarily dispelled the Transformation Technique and returned to his original form.

His current chakra reserves were too low; they weren't enough to sustain the transformation for long. He still wanted to practice more.

As the afternoon passed, Denji successfully mastered the Transformation Technique and also learned the seals for the Clone and Substitution Techniques, though he couldn't successfully execute them just yet.

The system popped up a notification.

[Congratulations, Transformation Technique (Uninitiated) -> (Initiated)]

If he could keep practicing, the proficiency of his Transformation Technique would surely improve further. However, Akimichi Denji's chakra reserves were too meager; after successfully casting it three times, he had to refine his chakra and wait for it to replenish.

Chakra is still too scarce.

Akimichi Denji muttered to himself.

The root cause lay in his physique. A ninja's chakra is built upon their physical constitution; most ninjas who make a name for themselves possess vast chakra reserves and, consequently, robust physiques.

There are even ninjas who specialize in using ninjutsu to enhance their bodies, known as Nintaijutsu, such as the Third Raikage's Lightning Release Chakra Mode.

The progress is a bit slow.

At this age, Uchiha Itachi was already capable of joining the Anbu to carry out missions.

A sense of urgency welled up in Akimichi Denji's heart. The current timeline was nearing the official start of the anime; next year would be the first episode, followed by Orochimaru's collaborative "Konoha Crush" plan.

Immediately after that would come the Akatsuki organization, the Third Shinobi World War...

His predecessor had received no training while in the Land of Rain, leaving him behind at the starting line.

Time waits for no one. Fortunately, it is not too late; with my talent and hard work, I will surely be able to overtake them on the curve.

He looked at the panel: [Wish Points: 3].

Ino had given one, the old Third Hokage had given one, and Naruto had given one.

Now, his accumulated Wish Points had reached 3, far exceeding the total from the past month.

Asking Akimichi Choza to let him attend the Ninja Academy was indeed the right choice.

The panel, known as the Naruto Achievement System, yielded the greatest rewards only from characters who appeared in the original Naruto series.

Wish Points could not be used to improve his physique.

Therefore, he would prioritize upgrading his Chakra Refinement Technique, as chakra was the foundation of everything.

The Three Body Techniques were a bit too basic; he should be able to improve them through his own practice.

Thinking this, Akimichi Denji temporarily cast the Three Body Techniques to the back of his mind and focused his thoughts on the Chakra Refinement Technique.
