Three Bodies Technique

A soul skill?

No, a self-created soul skill?

Bibi Dong parted her lips slightly, her mind racing at high speed.

Jiang Naruto's palm was now fully open, and a two-headed-tall miniature clone wearing the same outfit stood up with a vigorous kip-up, full of energy.

"Come on, say hello."

Jiang Naruto pursed his lips to signal the clone. Bibi Dong focused her attention once more; clone-type soul skills were not rare on the continent, but a self-created soul skill of this nature was a true rarity.

The Naruto clone, barely ten centimeters tall, scratched its head in a rather dim-witted fashion and blinked. Its gaze seemed to pierce through Jiang Naruto's body, locking eyes with Bibi Dong inside the seal space.

So weak...

However, This little clone is actually quite cute.

Bibi Dong, arms crossed over her chest, watched with growing curiosity, but the image of Qian Renxue suddenly surfaced in her mind.

If this annoying little brat looked so much more pleasing to the eye when shrunk down, how adorable must her own Xiaoxue have been as a child?

Once this thought flashed through her mind, Bibi Dong could no longer shake it. She frowned, then slumped powerlessly back into her soul power throne, covering her forehead as she rummaged through her memories.

Qian Renxue seemed to have been taken away by a wet nurse right after birth. What was she doing back then, filled with such rage? It seemed she had gone to see Xiao Gang, then turned around and abandoned herself to Slaughter City.

By the time she saw Xiaoxue again, how old was she?

Three?

Or four?

Bibi Dong sank into her memories, though she could no longer clearly recall those painful moments.

She only remembered that one day, a little blonde girl had come stumbling out of the Pope Palace, crying "Mommy," "Mommy," and she herself had ferociously drawn a dagger and charged forward...

What a... failed life...

Bibi Dong lowered her eyes, tilting her head slightly to glance at the noisy little brat outside and the clone bouncing in his hand.

Things had not yet reached the worst-case scenario.

Perhaps this chance to start over was a form of compensation from the heavens.

Just as Bibi Dong was feeling sentimental, Jiang Naruto's eyes suddenly lit up. He had finally found the trick to controlling the clone, and he manipulated it to slowly open its mouth, gathering breath in its abdomen.

"Old hag..."

"What did he just say!?"

A sinister, terrifying surge of soul power exploded like a cannonball within the seal space. Jiang Naruto didn't dare look inward, his back turning cold as the soul power circulating through his meridians faltered.

Pop!

The little Naruto in his palm turned into a puff of smoke and vanished in the blink of an eye.

As the saying goes, blame the dog when you're caught; Jiang Naruto lacked any sense of shame. With a pale, stiff face, he offered a righteous explanation: "This... soul skill isn't very stable yet. I can't control what it says."

Only a fool would believe that!

Bibi Dong's face turned black, veins bulging from her swan-like neck all the way to her cheeks. She exerted force with her arms, crushing the armrests made of soul power into dust.

She took back what she thought earlier; this was surely a punishment from the heavens!

"Clone Technique, Transformation Technique, Body Replacement Technique..."

Bibi Dong rested her chin on her hand, her eyelids drooping as she muttered the names of these three self-created soul skills, eyeing Naruto with deep suspicion.

Seeing this, Naruto sat up straight, looking smug.

Right here, he wanted to sincerely apologize to the System—the System was actually useful!

This Ninja Academy Textbook in his hand was a soul power version; every instance involving chakra had been replaced with soul power. If one ignored the parts about Konoha's history and the Will of Fire, it was simply a manual for the Three Body Techniques.

Don't let the fact that the Three Body Techniques were only entry-level ninjutsu fool you. This was Douluo Continent, where the vast majority of soul masters relied entirely on soul skills—you had as many skills as you had soul rings.

Our Master Xiao Gang had even summarized the radical theory: "More souls, more bones, a wave of skills; fewer souls, fewer bones, turn and run."

The importance of the quantity of soul skills was evident.

"Not bad..."

After a long period of contemplation, Bibi Dong finally spoke with a frown. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Naruto holding his head high, practically wagging a tail in the air. She said irritably, "Although these three soul skills possess no offensive power, as auxiliary skills, they are... barely passable..."

"True."

Naruto didn't retort as Bibi Dong had expected; instead, he acted dismissive.

"After all, it's just the Three Body Techniques. It really isn't anything impressive; at most, it counts as a foundation."

Having reached this point, how could Bibi Dong not understand? This guy had already started putting on airs.

"Fine, fine, fine. You look like you have a slightly better chance of surpassing Tang San now."

"What do you mean 'slightly'?"

"Hmph."

Bibi Dong merely sneered, offering no response. She relaxed and leaned back, sinking into the soul power sofa. As usual, she crossed her legs and swayed her toes slightly, appearing to be in quite a good mood.

Having asked for a snub, Jiang Naruto withdrew his consciousness from the sealing space.

The entire classroom was somewhat quiet. The boring school life had begun, and an elderly teacher stood at the podium, teaching how to judge the age of soul beasts.

Jiang Naruto spared a bit of attention to listen to the lecture, While secretly keeping an eye on the system's movements!

Come on! System! Send me the Eight-Tails Gyuki and slap me in the face hard!

This system is a complete idiot!

Jiang Naruto had never been more certain. He rested his chin on his clasped hands, his cold gaze sweeping across the classroom.

First was the elderly teacher on the podium. After a brief self-introduction, he turned to the blackboard, droning on and on about boring soul beast studies, while in Naruto's mind:

[Iruka-sensei, how should one choose between hatred and duty? The murderer who killed your father is right before your eyes. Why are you so indifferent?]

Wait, what?

How did he become Iruka?

The system being blind wasn't a new development, and Naruto had tolerated it thus far.

But next, he shifted his gaze. The most conspicuous person in the classroom was a girl with a scorpion-tail braid.

This person was Xiao Wu. Notting Academy wasn't large to begin with, and it was good enough if the new students each year could fill a single class. Jiang Naruto couldn't avoid her even if he wanted to. What was more troublesome was:

[The throbbing of youth. Naruto loves Sakura, but Sakura loves Sasuke. This relationship is destined to leave someone hurt.]

Naruto gasped, his head covered in black lines.

System, open your dog eyes and take a good look! Is this Sakura? Where did this melodramatic love triangle come from? Don't insult people like this!

Jiang Naruto screamed in mental collapse, but the system remained silent, continuing to compile its wild history.

Suffocating from the system's antics, Jiang Naruto skillfully blocked the system's wild history. Amidst the system's various abstract behaviors, there was still a sporadic piece of good news.

In the corner of his vision, following the [No Regrets Youth] tag, Jiang Naruto had obtained another useful tag.

[Ninja Academy Student—As a Ninja Academy Student, Uzumaki Naruto spent most of his childhood at the Ninja Academy. Equipment Effects: 1. Keen: Your small movements are not easily discovered by teachers. 2. Heretical Genius: When doing things unrelated to class content during class, efficiency increases by 100%, concentration increases by 100%, creativity increases by 100%, and success rate increases by 100%. 3. Sphincter Killer: Improves gastrointestinal digestion ability...]

Uh...

Jiang Naruto was speechless.

There were too many things to complain about; he didn't know where to start!

In all fairness, this was ultimately good news. The effect of Heretical Genius alone was worth Naruto trying it out.

Tentatively equipping the student tag, Jiang Naruto frowned. He felt nothing, so he lowered his head and secretly pulled the Ninja Academy Textbook out from his desk drawer.

He used to sneakily read novels in class like this, and this Ninja Academy Textbook was unrelated to the current class content.

It should meet the requirements, right?

The thought had barely surfaced in his mind when it was instantly extinguished by an invisible force. His heart and eyes were filled with nothing but the Ninja Academy Textbook in front of him.

It was as if a boring novel would become interesting if placed in a classroom; the previously obscure and difficult sentences in the book drilled directly into Jiang Naruto's brain. The various mistakes he had made when casting the Clone Technique previously appeared clearly before his eyes!

What if soul power flowed this way?

Jiang Naruto's face remained indifferent, but his hands subconsciously followed the illustrations to form hand seals. The entire movement was fluid and natural!

Oh no!

My brain and hands are moving on their own!

In the corner of his consciousness, the last remnants of Jiang Naruto's humanity screamed.
