Bloodline Limit and Lightning Armor

Ryosuke dispatched two more Shadow Clone Techniques.

This time, his targets were the two Cloud Ninja other than the one who used Magnet Release.

However, they were already on guard and immediately surrounded themselves with earthen walls.

But this time, Ryosuke's shadow clones had mastered a powerful assault skill: Lightning Release: Piercing Technique.

The earthen walls were completely unable to withstand it.

One of them discovered in shock the ninjutsu Ryosuke's shadow clone was using.

"You—how do you know our Cloud Ninja techniques?"

Ryosuke's shadow clone didn't waste words with him and pierced straight through his chest.

The other shadow clone, however, was taken out by that Chunin.

He turned around just in time to see his companion fall.

"Uchiha brat, you actually dare to kill my companion! Die!"

The man's entire body was covered in electric arcs, looking remarkably similar to the Raikage's Lightning Armor.

[Ding, the system has detected the ninjutsu Lightning Release: Lightning Armor. Recording count increased by one.]

[System prompt: Accumulate five recordings of A-rank or higher ninjutsu to automatically learn them.]

There was actually such a feature? Ryosuke couldn't help but be overjoyed.

However, the threshold for A-rank ninjutsu was far too high.

Ryosuke complained inwardly before continuing to watch the battlefield on the other side.

Although the Lightning Release: Piercing Technique of Ryosuke's shadow clone had strong penetration, it was still no match when faced with Lightning Release: Lightning Armor.

Soon, that shadow clone was also destroyed.

"A Magnet Release ninja and a ninja proficient in ninjutsu-taijutsu—this is going to be tricky."

Ryosuke thought with a bitter smile.

But for him to just give up like that was impossible.

A skill selection card—he only needed to take out one more enemy.

Thinking of this, Ryosuke's original body stepped out from behind the rock where he had been hiding.

The Magnet Release ninja and the ninjutsu-taijutsu ninja immediately looked over.

"Another shadow clone? These Uchiha guys are truly troublesome."

"I don't know, but shadow clones split the original body's chakra. This kid isn't even ten years old; he surely doesn't have much chakra left."

After a brief exchange, the two walked over together.

They stopped when they were ten meters away from Ryosuke.

"Hey, Uchiha brat, how about we make a deal? As long as you surrender or hand over your Sharingan, we'll let your companions go. How about it?"

The Magnet Release ninja spoke first.

"My companions?"

Ryosuke was stunned for a moment upon hearing this.

Could Sanhe and Miyuki have already been captured by them?

Or perhaps Shisui?

No, that couldn't be. Shisui was so powerful; he would never be captured by them.

Sanhe and Miyuki were dozens of miles away from here. Had their movements been exposed?

No, they were lying to me.

Ryosuke suddenly realized.

Meanwhile, the ninjutsu-taijutsu ninja had already lunged over with a sinister grin.

"Kid, die!"

He raised his hands above his head, electric arcs flickering over his body, and leaped into the air to smash down toward Ryosuke.

"Sonido!"

Instead of retreating, Ryosuke advanced. Blue electric arcs erupted from his body, and he vanished from his spot.

"Huh?"

The ninjutsu-taijutsu ninja missed his target. Looking back, he saw that Ryosuke had already appeared behind the Magnet Release ninja.

The Magnet Release ninja didn't panic; instead, he laughed. "Brat, you've fallen for it."

His body suddenly transformed into iron sand, coiling toward Ryosuke.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire Technique!"

Ryosuke used the fire technique at point-blank range, then activated the Eight Inner Gates and stomped his foot downward.

A scream immediately erupted from underground.

"Leaf Whirlwind!"

Ryosuke delivered a flying kick, driving the Magnet Release ninja who had just poked his head out back into the dirt.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for killing an enemy, randomly obtaining one ninjutsu.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining ninjutsu: Earth Release: Clone Technique.]

Hearing the system prompt, Ryosuke couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed; as expected, bloodline limits weren't so easy to acquire.

[Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the time-limited mission, obtaining 1,000 experience points and one skill selection card.]

A smile appeared on Ryosuke's face.

He immediately used the skill selection card.

A list of skills appeared in his mind, all of which were the ninjutsu used by the three Cloud Ninjas he had just fought.

There were dozens of them in total.

But Ryosuke didn't hesitate for a second, choosing Magnet Release directly.

Are you kidding? Other elemental releases could be learned and mastered, but bloodline limits weren't so easily obtained; he naturally wouldn't miss such an opportunity.

After he made his choice, a flood of ninjutsu knowledge poured into his mind—all the techniques that the Magnet Release ninja had developed.

"You bastard, you killed my comrade again! I'll make you pay in blood!"

Seeing the death of the Magnet Release ninja, the ninjutsu-taijutsu specialist immediately went Berserk.

Arcs of electricity crackled and grew more intense around his body, and his eyes turned blood-red.

Yet, far from being afraid, Ryosuke looked eager to try something out.

"Perfect, I'll use you to test the bloodline limit I just mastered."

"Magnet Release: Blast!"

Ryosuke grabbed at the air.

The Cloud Ninja specialist was suddenly suspended in mid-air.

"You bastard, what did you do to me?"

The Cloud Ninja flailed wildly in the air, but with no leverage for his limbs, it was completely useless.

This feels just like Magneto; this Magnet Release is really powerful.

That move wasn't actually one of the Magnet Release ninja's techniques, but one Ryosuke had developed himself using the Magnet Release attribute and his own imagination.

As for the name, he had just made it up on the spot; the principle was to control the magnetic substances within the human body.

He had only intended to test it out, but it seemed the effect was excellent.

Perhaps this move had a special bonus against ninjas with the Lightning attribute?

Regardless, Ryosuke was having a great time.

"Lightning Release: Funeral!"

Following Ryosuke's voice, the ground began to tremble. Countless iron ore fragments surged from beneath the earth, wrapping the Cloud Ninja in the sky into a sphere that grew larger and larger.

"This move is cool, though it consumes a bit too much chakra."

After saying this, Ryosuke sat on the ground, his face pale.

This technique required him to infuse chakra into all the iron ore underground to control it.

While the power of the move was immense, the consumption was equally staggering.

At the very least, given Ryosuke's current state, he couldn't maintain it for long, even at full capacity.

It seemed chakra was his weak point.

[Congratulations to the host for killing an enemy, randomly plundering one ninjutsu.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining ninjutsu: Lightning Release: Lightning Armor.]

Ryosuke, who was sitting on the ground resting, immediately beamed with joy.

He hadn't expected to obtain the Raikage's classic ninjutsu so easily.

What kind of relationship does this guy have with the Raikage? Could he be a relative?

Ryosuke suddenly thought of something, and a chill ran down his spine.

If that were truly the case, he had certainly forged a deep enmity with the Raikage.

But on second thought, Ryosuke felt relieved.

They had already torn off the mask, so why worry about so much?
