Naruto: The Twin Kamui's Debut

A D-rank Long-Eared Rabbit?

After listening to Niu Jun's introduction, a beast that looked much like an ordinary domestic rabbit appeared in Su Bai's mind.

The Long-Eared Rabbit is quite familiar to ordinary people, as most of the beast meat consumed by middle-class families is "provided" by them.

A Long-Eared Rabbit is generally two meters tall and about five meters long. It is the weakest of all beasts, significantly weaker than the Iron-Horned Sheep, which is also a D-rank beast. Usually, a Genin can hunt one alone.

However, the "Genin" mentioned here does not refer to a weakling like Su Bai, who has just raised his chakra to 1 card and hasn't even mastered a D-rank ninjutsu.

The amount of chakra in a Long-Eared Rabbit is generally around 80 cards. Although having a large amount of chakra does not necessarily mean strong combat power, a ninja with strong combat power must have a significant amount of chakra!

Students who have just finished their college entrance exams simply do not have that much chakra, so they can only rely on ninjutsu and techniques to hunt Long-Eared Rabbits.

But even so, the elimination rate is very high. Niu Jun didn't tell Su Bai this, fearing it would dampen his confidence.

"Since you understand, I will pay out of my own pocket to sponsor you with a D-rank ninjutsu as a thank you in advance for winning glory for the school, kid."

As Niu Jun spoke, he turned around, took five scrolls from the bookcase behind him, and placed them on the table.

"Principal, this is..."

"Haha." The stiff lines on Niu Jun's face moved, squeezing out a smile. "These are not school property; they are my personal belongings. You choose one."

As the old principal of Yangcheng No. 1 High School, Niu Jun hopes the school will get better and better and that every student can obtain resources from the federal government.

In fact, at his age, having weathered the storms for decades, what kind of scenes hasn't he experienced? Honor is no longer important to him; he just wants Yangcheng to produce a few more powerhouses.

Su Bai looked at the ninjutsu scrolls on the table without moving...

A scroll can only be used once. These scrolls were not written by humans themselves, but were obtained from the bodies of beasts after life-and-death struggles in secret realms. Every scroll is extremely precious!

Even the lowest-level D-rank ninjutsu scroll costs over a million Federal Coin. This is why, even though Su Bai knew there were huge rewards after completing the system tasks, he hadn't thought about doing them yet.

Because relying on himself or his parents, there was simply no way to obtain ninjutsu!

"Principal, thank you!" Su Bai's eyes were a little moist.

However, he did not refuse the principal's kindness; he simply etched this favor into his heart!

At this moment, a sense of belonging suddenly arose in his heart... a sense of belonging to Yangcheng No. 1 High School!

Chapter 16: Su Bai's Jerk Uncle-in-law

"Hey, have you heard? It seems Su Bai doesn't have to attend classes anymore."

"I heard. It's said that the old principal took a liking to his talent and wants him to focus on sprinting these days!"

"I'm so envious of him. To be favored by the principal—if only that were me."

"Can't help it. Who told him to suddenly explode in potential, going from a poor student to a top-tier one!"

In the classroom, the students had returned from the playground. They were discussing the news from who knows where, which made Lin Hu's eyes widen.

"Good grief, I'm finding this brother harder and harder to read..."

At this moment, Su Bai, who was being "cared for" by his classmates, had already been given early leave. Originally, he was supposed to attend school for five more days and would only be released one week before the college entrance exam.

But now that he had obtained the ninjutsu from Niu Jun, Wang Hai specially approved him to go home and focus on practicing it, and he could call Chu Yuan for advice if he didn't understand anything.

Before leaving, Su Bai didn't forget to ask Chu Yuan about refining chakra. Chu Yuan, who was indeed a powerhouse who often fought beasts, resolved his doubts in just a few words, leaving him with a great harvest.

Chu Yuan also appreciated this "junior" and exchanged phone numbers with him, the intention to look after him clear in every word.

Sitting on the bus, Su Bai patted his school bag with satisfaction. Inside was the ninjutsu he had chosen--Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique!

"Although I really wanted to choose the Body Flicker Technique, I am currently more in need of offensive ninjutsu!"

Among the five scrolls Niu Jun gave him, besides the Body Flicker Technique and the Double Suicide Decapitation Technique, two were genjutsu, which Su Bai ignored directly. His mental strength was still too weak, and practicing genjutsu would do more harm than good.

The remaining one was the Shadow Shuriken, which he also didn't want to choose because the shuriken in this world are as useless as in the original work; they are of no use except for dealing with some weak opponents.

Just imagine, humans facing beasts dozens or hundreds of meters tall and throwing a couple of shuriken to scratch them? Isn't that a joke? It would be simpler to just spray a magazine from an AK.

The Body Flicker Technique is something every ninja must practice, including Su Bai.

The Body Flicker Technique involves gathering chakra in the feet to move at high speeds like a gust of wind. The speed is so fast that the naked eye cannot capture it; to ordinary people, it looks like the user has suddenly teleported.

The amount of chakra consumed varies depending on the distance and speed of the movement. Overall, it is a very practical ninjutsu for both combat and running away.

If Su Bai already had an offensive ninjutsu... then he would definitely have chosen the Body Flicker Technique!

Unfortunately, he didn't, and with the college entrance exam approaching, if he wants to get into Nine Provinces Academy, he must defeat the "Long-Eared Rabbit," and the key to defeating the Long-Eared Rabbit is to have an offensive ninjutsu.

The Earth Release: Double Suicide Decapitation Technique just happened to make up for his current deficiency; it is a ninjutsu that excels in offense.

The principle of the attack is that the user uses Earth Release to dive underground. The ground where they launch and appear will crack. It is used for surprise attacks and avoiding the opponent's attacks. When dealing with ninjas whose strength is far inferior to one's own, it is often solved in one move, pulling the entire body of the attacker into the ground, leaving only the head exposed on the surface.

And once the attacked person cannot escape, they become "fish" waiting to be slaughtered.

Similar to the Body Flicker Technique, the user's attack distance and attack speed are affected by chakra. The greater the chakra output, the more outstanding the attack speed and attack distance will be!

This was considered a rather excellent technique among D-rank ninjutsu.

Having thought it through, Su Bai no longer hesitated. Since he had chosen it, he would just have to cultivate it well; there would be plenty of opportunities to acquire the Body Flicker Technique in the future.

With this mindset, Su Bai closed his eyes and waited for the bus to reach his stop.

About an hour later, the bus's announcement chime rang out.

"Ding, Happiness Residential Complex has arrived."

Su Bai snapped his eyes open, hopped off the bus with agile movements, and headed toward his home in quick strides.

He soon reached his front door. Just as he was about to knock, he heard an argument coming from inside.

"Brother-in-law, it's not that I'm lecturing you, but why are you trying to send him to college when you don't have the money? You'd be better off letting Su Bai come work at the factory with you." A sleazy voice rang out, dripping with disdain. Su Bai recognized this as his uncle-in-law, Zong Cheng, a man who spent his days doing absolutely nothing.

"Zong Cheng, shut your mouth! Do you want Xiaobai to end up as useless as us? Now that Xiaobai finally has this kind of talent, you don't support him, and yet you're here tearing your brother-in-law down?" Another voice, a woman's, scolded Zong Cheng. It was his second aunt, Lin Xiumei.

Zong Cheng: "I didn't say he shouldn't go to college, did I? It's just that you guys don't have the money, right? Besides, graduating from college doesn't guarantee a good job. Don't several of the guys I play cards with have degrees? How are they any better off than me?"

"Nonsense! Those people are just self-destructive; how could Xiaobai ever become like that? If you spout any more rubbish, get out and don't come back to my sister's house!" Lin Xiumei seemed to have reached her limit, cursing loudly without a care for her image.

At this moment, Su Bai's mother, Lin Xiu'e, spoke up: "Alright, alright, both of you, calm down. We only asked you over today to discuss things. If you have money to spare, contribute what you can; if not, we'll find another way. It's fine."

"That's right. Since Zong Cheng doesn't agree, Lin Xiumei, don't push it. We appreciate your intentions," Su Jianhong said helplessly. He didn't want Lin Xiumei to get angry at that scoundrel Zong Cheng over their family affairs.

That bastard, he's been like this for two lifetimes! Su Bai cursed under his breath outside the door.

Whether before or after his transmigration, Zong Cheng had always been a scoundrel, spending his days gambling and never staying home. His second aunt and cousin had cried countless times over it, but he never changed.

In his previous life, it was fine; society was relatively harmonious, and his second aunt's salary alone was enough for her and his cousin to live comfortably.

But it wasn't the same in this world. After the monster invasion, anyone who wasn't a ninja earned only meager wages, and his second aunt's family lived a very tight life.

A few years ago, when his cousin fell ill and needed money for treatment, the funds were taken by that bastard uncle-in-law and lost to gambling, nearly driving his second aunt to suicide in her rage.

Zong Cheng's long list of misdeeds made Su Bai despise him, and he felt a deep sense of injustice for his second aunt and cousin.

It was just that, as a junior, it wasn't his place to step in.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Su Bai knocked hard on the door, cutting off the argument inside.

"Xiaobai? What time is it? Why are you back?" Lin Xiu'e asked in surprise after opening the door for him.

Su Bai entered the house and said with a smile, "School is on break. I only need to go back to report in a few days."

"So early?" Lin Xiu'e muttered, though she didn't press him for the reason.

"Second Aunt, Uncle-in-law."

Su Bai greeted Lin Xiumei and Zong Cheng politely. The two were still looking at each other with hostility, but they restrained themselves significantly upon seeing him return.

"Heh, I haven't seen you in a few months, Xiaobai, you seem to have grown taller." Lin Xiumei walked up to Su Bai affectionately and measured his height.

Zong Cheng, however, merely gave a faint nasal grunt, not even bothering to acknowledge him.

Su Bai smiled and didn't take it to heart, beginning to chat with his second aunt.

Chapter 17: A Gift... From Someone Else?

"Xiaobai, hurry and show us the Three Body Technique. Auntie has never seen anyone perform ninjutsu in person!" Lin Xiumei was as curious as a young girl.

"Alright."

Su Bai stood up with a smile and walked to the center of the living room. His parents, sister, and Zong Cheng all turned their gazes toward him.

"Watch closely, Second Aunt. This is the Transformation Technique."

Poof!

A puff of white smoke appeared, and he transformed into the likeness of Su Xiaoxiao.

"How magical!" Lin Xiumei clapped her hands.

"Su Xiaoxiao," with a crisp voice, continued, "This is the Substitution Technique."

After leaving a trace of chakra on the wooden chair nearby, "Su Xiaoxiao" performed hand seals, and with a poof, swapped places with the chair, transforming back into Su Bai.

"Amazing, amazing!" Lin Xiumei continued to clap, finding Su Bai more and more outstanding the more she looked at him.

"And finally, the Clone Technique."

Su Bai performed the seals for the Clone Technique. Poof, a puff of white smoke appeared, and two "Su Bais" stood in the center of the living room, looking at Lin Xiumei. "Auntie, that's the Three Body Technique."

"Wow, Sister, our Lin family is going to have a ninja!" Lin Xiumei happily hugged Lin Xiu'e.

"You're so old, yet still so flighty," Lin Xiu'e scolded her sister with a smile.

She was also very happy at this moment. Her son was outstanding and had fulfilled the dream she and Su Jianhong had failed to achieve back then—becoming a ninja!

"Sister, don't worry. As his aunt, I must contribute to Xiaobai's college tuition!" Lin Xiumei took out her phone, ready to transfer the money on the spot. "I don't have much, but how about 10,000 yuan, Sister?"

"Good, good, 10,000 yuan is plenty!" Lin Xiu'e beamed. She and her sister Lin Xiumei were very close, and she knew that if it weren't for that scoundrel Zong Cheng, her sister might have given even more.

Su Bai was also moved. They were just an ordinary family, and being able to scrape together 10,000 yuan for his college tuition was truly a significant amount, even if he no longer needed it.

Su Bai's strength was not just top three in the entire school; aside from Xia Xueqing, there was no one stronger than him. The 100,000-yuan scholarship was already in the bag.

"Aunt, I..."

"Give it to me!"

Just as Su Bai was about to politely decline, Zong Cheng snatched the phone from Lin Xiumei and shoved her onto the sofa.

"You wretched woman, didn't you say you didn't have any money when I asked you for some last time? Where did this come from?"

"You bastard, give me back my phone!"

Lin Xiumei reached out to grab Zong Cheng in a fit of rage, but he quickly transferred the money to his own account in a few swift movements.

"You, give the money back! That's my money!"

"What's yours? We're husband and wife, so we both have the right to manage the money. I never agreed to you giving money to your sister!"

Zong Cheng tossed the phone back to Lin Xiumei and turned to leave.

Lin Xiumei slumped onto the sofa, clutching her phone and sobbing quietly.

"Waa, this is money I saved up through hard work. Can you please stop squandering it? You've already gambled away all the family's savings. What are my daughter and I supposed to do?"

"That was just bad luck. It won't happen this time. Just wait, I'll bring you back double the amount in a while!"

Zong Cheng didn't care about any of that. Once he had money, his gambling addiction flared up; he had no thoughts other than heading to the casino to play.

Su Jianhong rolled up his sleeves, his face flushed with anger.

"Zong Cheng, you've gone too far! Give Xiumei her money back right now!"

Setting aside the fact that this ten thousand yuan was a gift from Lin Xiumei to Su Bai, even without that, Su Jianhong couldn't just stand by and watch Zong Cheng throw the money away!

"None of your business!" Zong Cheng said dismissively. "Get out of my way!"
