Bringing a Little Brand New Shock to the Ninja World's Taijutsu Schools

Upon arriving at the makeshift training ground, Qi Luna slowly rotated her neck, her joints emitting a faint "crack" sound, as if playing an overture for the training about to begin.

She loosened her wrists, flexed her fingers with agility, and then proceeded to lunge and stretch her leg muscles, every movement fluid and natural.

After warming up, Qi Luna took a deep breath, her gaze instantly becoming focused and resolute.

Recalling the wealth of experience from watching various anime in her past life, combined with the special abilities granted by chakra and the Uzumaki bloodline in this one, Qi Luna had long ago conceived a unique Nin-Taijutsu. However, due to her physical limitations, she had never been able to realize it until now; after the intensive training from Uzumaki Mito, she was finally ready to attempt it!

Originally, those special techniques required various extreme environments to be mastered, but with the advent of chakra, that was no longer a strict necessity. Still, it would require a vast amount of actual combat experience to hone them into truly effective killing skills.

And this was precisely one of the reasons Qi Luna had gone to such lengths to reach the Amegakure battlefield.

A moment later, having finished her reminiscence and organized her thoughts, Qi Luna officially began the training of the New Uzumaki Style Nin-Taijutsu.

"New Uzumaki Style, First Form: Violent Step!" (Comparable to the Navy's Soru)

A massive amount of chakra gathered beneath Qi Luna's feet. With the explosive release of chakra, she vanished from her spot, only to appear abruptly in front of a thick, sturdy tree.

"New Uzumaki Style, Second Form: Sword Flash!" (Comparable to Shigan)

Qi Luna curled her right ring and little fingers, pressed her thumb against their knuckles, and straightened her index and middle fingers together. Covered in chakra, her hand formed a sword-finger shape, piercing into the tree trunk as easily as a hot knife through butter!

"It's not over yet. New Uzumaki Style, Second Form: Sheath Breaker!" (Similar to the Qi Jing of the Old Li family; simply put, it uses a chakra burst combined with Sword Flash to widen the wound on an enemy or increase attack range, similar to Wind Style: Vacuum Wave.)

As she spoke, Qi Luna twisted her sword-fingers, and chakra erupted instantly, blasting a large hole in the middle of the thick trunk!

Looking at her masterpiece, Qi Luna smiled knowingly. She withdrew her right hand, retreated rapidly, and performed multiple mid-air jumps without any leverage points!

"New Uzumaki Style, First Form: Sky Chaser!" (Similar to Geppo)

Having successfully replicated the two Nin-Taijutsu moves perfectly, Qi Luna nodded with satisfaction, but sighed helplessly at the thought of the subsequent techniques.

"I've only mastered the nature transformation of Water Style chakra for now. Of the remaining six forms, there are at least four I can't learn in the short term... No, the eighth form as well. My strength is completely insufficient. It seems I'll have to find Sister Tsunade to learn Strength of a Hundred when I get back..."

"Sometimes I really envy the talents of the 'Copy Ninja' and the 'Five-Spirit King.' It's a pity I only have Water, Wind, Lightning, Yin, and Yang chakra attributes..."

After these reflections, Qi Luna secretly thought of a few things.

Forget it. Once this war is over, I can just abduct little Nagato back to Konoha! How can the bloodline of my Uzumaki Clan be left to wander outside? And there's Karin from the Land of Grass too... No, it's too early for Karin to be born; it should be Karin's mother instead!

As for the principle of not putting all one's eggs in one basket, or whether Madara and The Great Filial Son would stir up trouble because I brought Nagato to Konoha...

Qi Luna began to recall and deliberate:

Madara had formulated the Eye of the Moon Plan after awakening the Rinnegan, deciphering the tampered stone tablet, and learning of the existence of the Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Because he was old and physically incapacitated, he had transplanted his Rinnegan into Nagato, who possessed the Uzumaki Sage Body, to nurture them. He had also dispatched White Zetsu to disguise themselves as Konoha ninja and murder Nagato's parents, thereby forcing Nagato to activate the Rinnegan...

It was only later, on the eve of the Third Ninja World War, that he used Yin-Yang Release to create Black Zetsu, who believed itself to be his will, but was actually the will of Kaguya...

Thinking of this, Qi Luna couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Hmph, the way those two are now, they wouldn't be a match for Lady Mito even if they teamed up! Before the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is replaced, Konoha is absolutely safe!"

"As for after the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is replaced? If I let Madara and The Great Filial Son snatch the Nine-Tails, then I'm a complete failure!"

As she spoke, Qi Luna clenched her right hand into a fist, raised her thumb, then rotated it 180 degrees and pointed it downward.

Having finished her training and contemplated the future of the Ninja World and her strategies, Qi Luna tidied up the makeshift training ground and, as usual, activated the Kagura Mind's Eye to sense the surroundings.

Just as she was about to turn and leave, having confirmed no one was nearby, a surge of intense malice appeared within her sensing range!

This is... Oh no! It's a White Zetsu! Damn it! Thankfully, I was speaking in the Sichuan dialect, not Japanese, and my voice was very low. The intelligence shouldn't have been leaked...

Qi Luna breathed a sigh of relief, feeling fortunate. It's a good thing I was cautious, and I have the Nine-Tails chakra from Grandma Mito to protect me; otherwise, I would have really taken a huge fall this time!

Sensing the White Zetsu's malice linger on her for only a fleeting moment before vanishing, Qi Luna, adhering to the principle of not digging deeper to avoid alerting the enemy, didn't dwell on why a White Zetsu would appear on the Amegakure battlefield now. Suddenly, her heart jolted. Could it be...

That was it. If Qi Luna remembered correctly, Madara had taken advantage of the Second Ninja World War to quietly transplant his Rinnegan to Nagato!

And the malice from that White Zetsu just now was highly likely caused by it mistaking her for Nagato, only to realize it had identified the wrong person!

In other words...

Madara's Rinnegan was currently with that White Zetsu!

Thinking of this, although she couldn't be entirely certain, Qi Luna was seventy percent sure that the White Zetsu was there to transplant the Rinnegan to Nagato!

There was another twenty percent chance that the White Zetsu intended to disguise itself as a Konoha ninja to trigger the Rinnegan already in Nagato's eye sockets!

As for the final ten percent, it could only be that the White Zetsu was sent out to gather intelligence. However, for Madara, who had already released many White Zetsu into various villages to scout for information, sending an extra one to the Land of Rain wouldn't have much significance, making that possibility extremely low!

What should I do? Seventy percent certainty—should I take the gamble? And what happens after I succeed?

Without an Uzumaki Sage Body, can I control a Rinnegan that doesn't belong to me? Even if I only use one eye for the time being to reduce the burden, how would I deal with Madara, who hasn't yet completely lost his ability to act even after his Rinnegan is taken?

Even if I hide back in Konoha under Grandma Mito's protection, how would I explain to her that the ghost of the Uchiha is about to return and take revenge on the village?

A series of questions in Qi Luna's mind left her doubting her own existence.

After careful consideration, she ultimately chose not to act and instead slowly headed back toward the camp.

What am I thinking? Why make it so complicated? Since I've already decided to abduct... bring Nagato back to Konoha, whether the Rinnegan is left for Nagato to use or I borrow it for a while, isn't that just a matter of me saying the word?

Besides, if I really plugged those eyes in and ended up as scrawny as Nagato in the future, wouldn't that be a terrible ordeal?

No! No! No!

Qi Luna shook her head rapidly. The more she thought this way, the clearer her mind became, and her footsteps grew increasingly light.
