All-Out Naruto: The Start, Drawing Twin Kamui

The system was also limiting his eye-opening pace; the restriction against opening his eyes until his Yin Attribute reached a certain level was, in reality, a form of protection for him.

Otherwise, he would likely end up like other Sharingan users, going insane from the immense mental strain.

Xia Xueqing pinched Su Bai's waist hard, wearing a "ferocious" expression as she huffed, "You really are a stubborn mule! I'm done with you!"

Su Bai's indifferent attitude nearly drove her mad!

However, despite her sharp words, Xia Xueqing's hand supporting Su Bai never let go.

Su Bai offered a bitter smile, nodding to appease her before sitting on the ground to recover his mental energy.

He had only just copied two Ninja techniques, yet his mental energy was nearly depleted.

"Yin Attribute... I suppose I'll have to keep investing points into it even after I awaken the Mangekyo."

With a sigh, he turned his gaze to the panel in his mind.

"Lightning Release: Lightning Snake: LV1 (101/200)"

"The Copy Eye is truly overpowered; I can use Ninja techniques directly without needing to practice them!" Su Bai was overjoyed!

For his previous techniques, he had to endure days of grueling training before a new skill entry appeared on the panel, which he then had to level up to use.

But the Two-Tomoe Sharingan was different; it bypassed the arduous process of training, immediately achieving the effect of a leveled-up skill!

"This not only saves me a massive amount of time on training, but it also allows me to seize the initiative in future battles against other Ninja, ensuring I won't be countered!"

He knew that combat between Ninja was a battle of wits and strength, involving mutual counters, mastery of techniques, hand-seal speed, and chakra levels.

To Su Bai's surprise, he discovered that when copying a technique, he could match the opponent's hand-seal speed perfectly—this ability was simply heaven-defying!

Although the chakra on Blue Star was incredibly powerful, it was also extremely volatile; one mistake could lead to one's body exploding. This was the reason Su Bai's hand-seals were slow.

It wasn't that he was stupid, taking forever to form a few seals; hand-seals were merely an aid to guide the flow of chakra. If the chakra flowed slowly, fast hand-seals were useless. Did people really think they could just wave their hands and a technique would appear?

Nothing was that simple...

Thinking of this, Su Bai realized that his high mental energy consumption occurred because, while copying, his Sharingan wasn't just replicating the opponent's chakra flow—it was also suppressing the chakra within his own body, forcing it to become obedient so he could wield it like an extension of his own arm.

"It seems it is necessary to spend time on basic training."

Su Bai thought of the fundamental training from the original work, such as walking on water and climbing trees.

Previously, his focus had been entirely on practicing techniques, refining chakra, and completing missions.

Now that Su Bai had no missions and had mastered two new techniques, he finally had the time for basic training.

PS: A quiet word to everyone: Xiao Wang has finally finished the business from before the New Year. After the holiday, I will strive to be a Three-Watch Beast, working hard to update for everyone every day!

Xiao Wang isn't very bright, often suffers from writer's block, and has a slow typing speed. Writing until late at night is a common occurrence, so I ask for your patience.

Kowtowing, bang, bang, bang!

Finally, I wish everyone a happy Year of the Tiger, may you be as vigorous as a tiger...

(This isn't filler text, but Xiao Wang's sincere words from the heart. This chapter is 2250 words, excluding the PS.)

Chapter 57: The Astonishing Value of the Iron-Horned Sheep

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!" Li Lei spat out a massive fireball over a hundred meters in diameter, hurtling it fiercely toward the Iron-Horned Sheep!

"Xueqing, quick, help me up! I can still copy one more technique!" Seeing a new technique, Su Bai, who was sitting on the ground, grew anxious and struggled to stand.

Xia Xueqing glared at him, her small hand pressing firmly on his shoulder.

"Do you have a death wish? Sit still!"

"Sigh, what a wasted opportunity!" Su Bai's desperate look while still thinking about copying techniques made Xia Xueqing grit her teeth, and she landed a solid blow on his head with her fist!

Thud!

"If you want to copy techniques, I'll find people for you to copy to your heart's content when we get back, alright?"

Su Bai: "..."

"Lightning Release: Lightning Snake!"

"Fire Release: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

"Baa!"

Li Lei and Chu Yuan unleashed their strongest techniques. The Iron-Horned Sheep let out a miserable cry and collapsed, its body charred and flesh torn, finally worn down by the pair.

"Damn it, the beast is finally dead. It wore me out!" Chu Yuan had beads of sweat the size of beans on his forehead as he sat on the ground, gasping for air.

Li Lei's face was equally pale. Although he was a Chunin, the consumption was significant; after all, he was the main combatant.

Miao Qiu was slightly better off. As a sensory Ninja, she usually handled the same duties as Xia Xueqing and was not skilled in combat.

Holding two porcelain bottles the size of palms, Miao Qiu hurried over and handed them to the men. "Quick, eat some Military Ration Pill to recover your chakra and stamina."

Military Ration Pill were made by scientists using a special substance obtained from the Secret Realm combined with high-calorie food, capable of restoring both chakra and stamina.

However, chakra recovery is relatively slow, so ninjas must rely on their own physical constitutions to recover it.

Seeing that the battle had ended, Su Bai and Xia Xueqing walked over, curiously examining the Iron-Horned Sheep lying on the ground.

The dozen-meter-long Iron-Horned Sheep lay silently on the ground like an overturned bus. Its entire body was devoid of any intact skin or flesh, with only the two metallic horns on its head remaining relatively unscathed.

So strong. This is a true magical beast; the Long-Eared Rabbit is weak compared to this. Su Bai secretly sized up the beast on the ground, feeling shocked in his heart.

This was only a D-Class Magical Beast, yet it required Li Lei, a Chunin, to coordinate with a veteran Genin like Chu Yuan for over half an hour of bitter fighting to hunt it down... What would happen if they faced even stronger magical beasts?

The Iron-Horned Sheep's strength could only be considered upper-middle among D-Class Magical Beasts; it was not the top-tier kind.

For example, the black-scaled horse Su Bai saw in the Base City, while primarily used by ninjas for transportation, was actually stronger than an Iron-Horned Sheep!

Xia Xueqing was also observing with curiosity. Previously, she had only "seen" Iron-Horned Sheep on the dining table; this was her first time observing one up close.

"So strong. I wonder how much this magical beast will sell for," Xia Xueqing murmured softly.

Chu Yuan walked over after consuming some Military Ration Pill and laughed, "Don't worry, it won't let you down."

"The Iron-Footed Sheep we usually hunt are only about 5 meters tall and have less than 300 chakra, yet they sell for 200 million Federal Coin. This one... it has to be at least 500 million, right?"

"It's worth that much!" Su Bai was startled.

Good heavens, in less than half a day, Brother Li's ninja squad had earned 500 million?

This was much faster than a printing press printing money!

Chu Yuan took out a C-Rank Chakra Conductive Equipment long blade and cut off the pair of metallic horns, which were over two meters long, from the Iron-Horned Sheep's head. He weighed them a few times before looking at Su Bai and Xia Xueqing.

"The most valuable part of an Iron-Horned Sheep is this pair of horns. They can be used to craft C-Rank Chakra Conductive Equipment and generally account for sixty percent of the total value."

"The remaining skin and flesh are also worth something, but since we ruined the hide, we can only sell the meat."

As he spoke, he took out a large Storage Scroll and sealed the entire carcass of the Iron-Horned Sheep inside.

Su Bai had seen this item at the Ninja General Store; one cost 100,000 Federal Coin and contained 100 cubic meters of space, ten times larger than the 10-cubic-meter Storage Scroll he had bought for 10,000 Federal Coin.

While Chu Yuan was cleaning up the battlefield, Li Lei and Miao Qiu, having nothing to do, walked over. Seeing Su Bai looking pale, they asked curiously, "What's wrong with you? Why do you look so exhausted?"

"Haha, my mental energy consumption was a bit high, it's..." Su Bai rubbed his nose. Before he could finish, Xia Xueqing interrupted him with a huff.

"He's tired, that's why. He awakened his Two-Tomoe Sharingan and can copy ninjutsu, but he ended up like this after copying both of your techniques just now."

Xia Xueqing stuck out her tongue and complained as she explained it to them.

She felt that Su Bai didn't cherish his own body enough.

Even though he had just awakened, he couldn't wait to push his abilities to the limit, which worried her terribly.

The moment the three heard Xia Xueqing finish, their eyes widened!

Copying ninjutsu!

Isn't that too broken?

The three of them knew deeply how hard it was to obtain ninjutsu. Hadn't they been struggling in the Wasteland Zone for so many years just to get their hands on a few Ninjutsu Scroll?

Take Li Lei, for example. With his current chakra, he could clearly release B-Rank or even A-Rank ninjutsu, yet he only possessed the C-Rank Phoenix Sage Fire Technique and the C-Rank Great Fireball.

Why? Because ninjutsu were too precious!

"Hiss, you kid is truly... enviable!" Li Lei gasped!

Chu Yuan sheathed his long blade and asked in surprise, "You can even copy my Lightning Release? Did you cultivate a third attribute?"

Miao Qiu was also amazed, but after their amazement, they felt a sense of pity, because Su Bai was destined to be a flash in the pan...

What use is talent if you aren't alive?

Thinking of this, the three put away their envy and gave Su Bai a few words of caution, telling him it would be best not to use his Sharingan frequently in the future.

Su Bai nodded with a smile. He knew they meant well; after all, ninjas on Blue Star who possessed the Sharingan usually met tragic ends.

Chu Yuan patted his shoulder, "The girl Xueqing is right. You kid, why push yourself so hard?"

"If you want to copy ninjutsu, just wait until you've recovered and I'll release it again, won't I?"

"Xiao Yuan is right, Su Bai, you're too impatient," Li Lei also chided. "Since we are all teammates in the same squad, we should help each other. Releasing a ninjutsu for you is just a small favor, isn't it?"

"Alright, alright, stop talking. Su Bai just left school, he might be thin-skinned and embarrassed to ask for help," Miao Qiu immediately smoothed things over, explaining for Su Bai, and Xia Xueqing nodded in agreement.

Su Bai felt moved as he looked at them, nodding repeatedly in promise.

He felt fortunate that Chu Yuan had brought him to meet such good teammates...

The group returned to the "Old Stronghold" to rest. Today's harvest was a massive haul for Li Lei's squad!

They usually had to go out for several days just to hunt one Iron-Horned Sheep, but today it was over in just half a day... This made them value Xia Xueqing's Byakugan even more!

Of course, there was also Su Bai.

As of now, Su Bai possessed the most ninjutsu in the squad! It was just a pity his chakra was a bit low...

The setting sun bled across the horizon, painting the sky in deep crimson as Li Lei led the entire squad on their journey home.

The harvest today was truly immense, and every face was brimming with joyful smiles.

"Su Bai, this is the first time I've earned money with my own skills!" Xia Xueqing giggled, showing off to Su Bai with great pride.

As the squad's scout, she had secured a 15% share of the spoils, which amounted to nearly seventy or eighty million.

Although this sum meant little to Xia Xueqing—her parents often gave her more than that on a whim—the significance was different.

This was her first time fighting in the Wasteland Zone like a real Ninja, and the harvest...

Su Bai looked at the lively girl beside him, finding it amusing.

So happy over seventy or eighty million?

What was he supposed to say about the four Ninjutsu he had harvested today?

And they were all C-rank Ninjutsu at that!

After hunting the Iron-Horned Sheep, the group returned to the rooftop of the shopping mall where their vehicles were parked to rest for a while. Once Su Bai's mental energy recovered, Li Lei and Chu Yuan "taught" him two more Ninjutsu.

These were Chu Yuan's C-rank Ninjutsu, Lightning Release: Lightning Beast Tracking Fang, and Li Lei's C-rank Ninjutsu, Fire Release: Great Fireball.

Su Bai vaguely remembered this move being a Ninjutsu used by Kakashi in the original work. Upon activation, the user concentrates lightning-natured chakra in their palm to create a "hound" shaped lightning construct, which the caster can then freely control to attack the enemy.

It was incredibly powerful and currently stood as the Ninjutsu with the highest attack power in Su Bai's arsenal.

As for Li Lei's Great Fireball, there was no need for explanation; anyone familiar with Ninjutsu knew of it.

Su Bai never expected such a massive haul on his first day in the Wasteland Zone. Not only had he obtained the carcasses of two Long-Eared Rabbit worth three or four million Federal Coin, but he had also acquired four Ninjutsu in one go!
