A-Rank Sai Clears the Entire Card!

As for who Sai was, Hyuga Hoshishaku, having read the original work, naturally knew.

A spare tire for Team 7, a substitute for Sasuke, and a pitiful soul raised in the Root since childhood, he was a survivor of the "Bloody Mist" style training forced upon him by Danzo, where brothers were made to kill one another.

He was quite a tragic character; if not for the fact that he eventually married Ino and became the chief of the police force, turning his life around, Hoshishaku would have felt quite sorry for him.

However, the system claimed he was a Jonin?

Hoshishaku felt that this kid only knew Secret Technique: Super Beast Imitating Drawing and some ink-based secret techniques, which at most should count as a Special Jonin—how did he become a Jonin?

Even with the "Fourth Shinobi World War" prefix added, he shouldn't be a Jonin, right?

At this moment, the training memories regarding Sai began to merge with his own.

Gradually, the initial disdain in his heart vanished instantly.

Although Sai could not be considered a powerful Jonin.

He was, however, maxed out in terms of functionality.

His Yin Release chakra nature transformation secret technique—Secret Technique: Super Beast Imitating Drawing—belonged to a weakened version of "Fantasy Manifestation."

Drawing manifestation.

Not only could he use Yin-style chakra to grant the creatures in his drawings a brief life, manifesting them into vivid existence.

He could also draw anything he imagined, and upon summoning them into reality, they would automatically complete themselves into 3D objects.

By now, Hoshishaku had already obtained the training memories for the other party's main skills.

The primary skill was Secret Technique: Super Beast Imitating Drawing.

This included the ink creatures Sai often drew: the Ink Bird Hawk Hunt, Ink Lion Armor Collection, Ink Serpent Kusama Snake, the rideable Cloud Bird, and the Fujin Raijin A-Un Fist, among others.

There were also basic ink-series ninjutsu, including the enemy-confusing Ink Mist Technique, the advanced version of the Substitution Technique known as Ink Substitution, and the simple, brutal, and heavy-hitting Ink Torrent.

And finally, his strongest combination technique: Sealing Technique: Tiger Staring Down.

This was a combination ninjutsu that merged sealing techniques with secret techniques.

This technique allowed him to draw a tiger on a sealing scroll, then use a secret technique to propel the tiger off the scroll, transforming it into a giant ink tiger that would pursue the enemy; once the enemy was bitten, they would be dragged into the sealing scroll and completely sealed.

Of course, in the original work, Sai used this skill to grapple with Uchiha Madara in his Impure World Reincarnation state, though it had no effect.

It was evident that if the enemy's level was too high, this thing was useless.

It was just a question of whether, if he could maintain Sage Mode in the future, he could replace the chakra fueling the ninjutsu with natural energy, causing all his ninjutsu to advance into Senjutsu—at which point, with their power greatly increased, he might be able to seal people above his rank.

Feeling the memories associated with these abilities.

Hoshishaku sighed with some regret.

Previously, after obtaining the C-rank and B-rank cards, he had formed a hypothesis.

Now that he had obtained an A-rank card belonging to a Jonin, the hypothesis was thoroughly confirmed.

The ninja cards obtained in this system seemed to only provide ninja skills and corresponding physical attributes, nothing else.

For example, with Sai, if he only obtained his skills and physical attributes, Hoshishaku could at most rely on these to become a Special Jonin.

The reason was that he did not obtain the corresponding combat intuition—such as knowing which move to use when encountering different types of attacks from enemies.

He also did not obtain the other party's physical conditioning, such as the strength, reaction speed, and body durability gained from years of training, which were not part of the system's panel attributes.

These comprehensive attributes and combat experience were a crucial part of a ninja's strength.

He hadn't noticed the problem when he obtained the C-rank card, purely because Genin didn't have much combat experience anyway.

The B-rank card for Ajisai hadn't given him combat experience either, and he had luckily assumed that since she was a support ninja, it was normal to lack combat experience.

Now, his hypothesis was confirmed.

Even though he had now obtained the abilities of several ninjas, his overall strength definitely wouldn't exceed that of a Special Jonin.

After all, his knowledge of ninjutsu was a blank slate.

If nothing else, if he didn't activate his Byakugan, he might lose his life to a single explosive tag while walking in the wild.

He was essentially a glass cannon—he had some power, but if he couldn't aim, it didn't count, and he would shatter at the slightest bump.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

It seemed that after obtaining ninja abilities in the future, he could no longer afford a life of lying flat.

Instead, he had to diligently master his abilities and apply them in various battles to gain real combat experience, integrating everything he knew into a cohesive whole.

After spending more than half an hour summarizing his situation, Hoshishaku opened the system panel.

Sai's Jonin-level strength had brought him a significant increase in chakra volume.

It was so significant that his body could clearly perceive the difference.

[Name: Hyuga Hoshishaku]

[Vitality: 760(+95)]

[Mental Power: 690(+300)]

[Chakra: 20050(32000)]

[Jutsu: Natural Energy Body Tempering Technique, Gentle Fist series, Summoning Technique, Sealing Technique, Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu, Lightning Style: Chidori, Multi Shadow Clone Technique, Rasengan, Secret Technique: Super Beast Imitating Drawing, Secret Technique: Ink Series Ninjutsu]

[Special Abilities: Byakugan (Secondary Evolution 40%), Space-Time Talent, Lightning Style Chakra Shape Transformation, Yin Style Chakra Nature Transformation]

[Secret Scroll: Recovery (Unlocked: 2/10)]

Looking at his attribute panel.

Xingzhuo exhaled a breath.

His chakra was now at the standard Jonin level.

With a chakra volume just over 50,000, he could be considered among the more gifted ones even among Jonin.

The addition of Yin Style Chakra Nature Transformation to his special abilities column was an unexpected delight.

It was just that the increasing number of abilities was making his combat system somewhat chaotic.

Moreover, how to whitewash these abilities would have to be done step by step.

As far as he knew, Secret Technique: Super Beast Imitating Drawing was created by Sai himself, so he could easily claim it as his own development and use it openly.

As for the other ninjutsu, aside from the Multi Shadow Clone Technique which required him to go through the motions of learning it from Teacher Tobirama, there would be no issues with whitewashing them.

Therefore, what he needed to do next was to train his physique so that his non-panel comprehensive attributes would meet the usage requirements for these ninjutsu.

Then, he would train his combat awareness, increase his combat experience, and master his existing abilities as quickly as possible to prepare for the ones he would acquire in the future.

In this way, it wouldn't be long before he truly possessed Jonin-level strength.

Another two months passed.

Time had already reached the summer.

Xingzhuo had finished learning all the prerequisite Sealing Techniques for the Flying Thunder God.

Now, he had begun the formal study of the Flying Thunder God.

However, his route of action remained the same as before: studying at the Senju Clan Grounds.

Furthermore, Yuto had come to join in the fun, learning the Flying Thunder God alongside him.

Xingzhuo reckoned that this child had no other playmates besides him, which was why he had come to learn the Flying Thunder God.

Even the fact that his study location was arranged at the Senju Clan Grounds was due to Yuto pulling strings.

But it was quite good; Senju Tobirama doted on this nephew immensely, the kind of doting that lacked principles.

Xingzhuo guessed it might be because the child had nearly died prematurely, and having watched him grow up by his side since he was small, that was why he was so cherished.

In addition to studying the Flying Thunder God, he also continuously familiarized himself with Sai's secret techniques.

In two months, he wouldn't dare say he had fully mastered the complete power of both secret techniques.

But he wouldn't be too far off from Sai; the difference would at most be combat experience and physical fitness.

And so, today, after finishing his study of the Flying Thunder God, he took Yuto, who was already able to stand, and flew through the sky.
