Indeed, back when Obito flew into a rage, Juanwo White Zetsu had assisted him by taking the form of an outer suit.
Juanwo White Zetsu had played no small part in Obito wiping out the Mist ninja.
No wonder he had appeared here as a teammate.
Having figured it all out, Luo Yu curiously opened Juanwo White Zetsu's panel.
Name: Juanwo White Zetsu—Fei Level: Novice Rank Three (linked to the host) Stamina: 30 Chakra: 50 Attributes: Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Fire, Wood Abilities: Possession Lv. max, Wood Release Mastery Lv. 1, Mayfly Technique Lv. max Possession Lv. max: Possesses another person, increasing their stamina by 20% and the power of their Wood Release ninjutsu by 50%. The possessed person can also use the Wood Release ninjutsu mastered by Juanwo White Zetsu. Wood Release Mastery Lv. 1: Has mastered most one-star Wood Release ninjutsu, with proficiency at the Minor Mastery stage. Mayfly Technique Lv. max: A reconnaissance ninjutsu unique to White Zetsu. Merges the user with the environment, allowing high-speed movement through its interior.
With a rough understanding of Juanwo White Zetsu's capabilities, Luo Yu gave him his first command. "Uh, get off me first!"
Being wrapped in White Zetsu was hardly a pleasant experience.
Of course, people with unusual fetishes were another matter.
"That's so cold! I was hoping to get a little closer to you, boss!"
Grumbling, Juanwo White Zetsu separated from Luo Yu and appeared in humanoid form.
His attitude immediately made Luo Yu realize something.
Since he came from the system, it seemed the system had already made Juanwo White Zetsu recognize him, the host, as his leader.
In this White Zetsu's mind, his standing was probably about the same as the elderly Madara's.
"Since your name is Fei, I'll call you Little Fei."
"Little Fei, keep it down for now."
"If my sister suddenly sees you, you'll definitely give her a fright."
Luo Yu tried to calm Juanwo White Zetsu down.
At his instruction, Juanwo White Zetsu made a shushing gesture and whispered, "Is this volume okay?"
Luo Yu nodded in approval, then asked, "By the way, which Wood Release ninjutsu do you know right now?"
Ever since discovering that the Sharingan was an incredible learning tool, he had refused to pass up any chance to copy someone's techniques.
Judging by the description, Little Fei's Wood Release Mastery Lv. 1 included plenty of one-star ninjutsu.
That meant he should be able to learn quite a few Wood Release ninjutsu from him.
"Wood Release Technique, Message-Sending Wood, Wood Transformation, and Wood Substitution," Little Fei answered, listing them all.
Hearing this, Luo Yu's initial anticipation instantly turned to disappointment.
Wood Release Technique was the most basic Wood Release ninjutsu. It merely made wooden tendrils grow out of the ground to attack enemies.
At higher proficiency, it could even grow large trees. The Ninja Association had given it a one-star rating.
Since Luo Yu had Advent of a World of Flowering Trees, which had a two-and-a-half-star rating, he naturally had no use for Wood Release Technique.
As for Wood Substitution, a Wood Release variant of Substitution Technique, one of the Three-Body Techniques, it only had a half-star rating-slightly better than the unrated Substitution Technique.
It still wasn't particularly worth learning.
Wood Transformation, on the other hand, was a variant of Transformation Technique that used Wood Release to wrap branches around the user while changing their appearance.
Its disguise was considerably better than an ordinary Transformation Technique, earning it a one-star rating.
Still, Luo Yu had no pressing need for it, so he was in no hurry to learn it now.
The technique that interested him most at the moment was Wood Release: Message-Sending Wood.
It transformed the body's cells into tiny pieces of wood that could be attached to an enemy to track their location.
With higher proficiency, not only would the range at which the Message-Sending Wood could be sensed increase, but it could even pick up sounds.
However, Little Fei could already serve as an advanced surveillance device thanks to his Mayfly Technique.
That made Message-Sending Wood rather redundant, too.
In short, resources were scarce in the early stages, so upgrade materials needed to be concentrated on more important ninjutsu.
Once low-level resources were less scarce later on, he could learn these low-star ninjutsu to use as toys.
As for Little Fei's growth...
Since Little Fei's level was linked to his host's, all he needed to upgrade was Wood Release Mastery.
Luo Yu remembered that, near the end, Little Fei had possessed Yamato and even used Wood Release: Wood Human Technique.
That was an exceptionally powerful Wood Release ninjutsu that remained a major presence even in the anime's later stages.
Hashirama Senju had used Wood Human Technique to suppress Madara Uchiha's Susanoo for a time.
Even with the Nine-Tails added to the mix, it had still been hard to determine a winner.
If he maxed out Wood Release Mastery and Little Fei grew stronger, people might well call him the little Senju.
With that thought, Luo Yu curiously opened the Wood Release Mastery upgrade panel.
[Wood Release Mastery upgrade requirement: Yamato's legacy 0/1]
Instantly, Luo Yu's smiling face turned a little green.
He had gone to enormous lengths just to obtain a single Yamato Legacy Fragment.
Yet upgrading Wood Release Mastery demanded a complete legacy right from the start-in other words, ten fragments.
Until he became a Jonin, this thing was out of his reach.
With that in mind, Luo Yu swiftly distributed his 49 attribute points evenly.
Stamina: 30 (+50%) → 70 (+50%) Chakra: 33 (+100%) → 42 (+100%)
His stamina reached 105, while his chakra rose to 84 with the boost from Hashirama cells.
Damn, I wasn't paying attention.
He was still 16 chakra points short of the Genin requirement.
It looked like he would have to visit the Jiangli Dojo another day and find people to spar with for some attribute-point drops.
Shaking his head, Luo Yu looked at Little Fei. "Normally, use your Mayfly Technique to hide near my sister and keep her safe."
"If I have any other tasks, I'll contact you."
Little Fei planted both hands on his hips and said confidently, "No problem. Leave your sister to me, boss."
Luo Yu nodded, then continued, "The young woman in black stockings outside the door is my Older Sister."
"If anything happens that you can't handle, remember to contact me using her phone."
"Also, just call me Luo Yu. You don't need to call me boss."
"Understood, Lord Luo." Little Fei saluted Luo Yu, then used Mayfly Technique to merge into the wall.
Thinking he ought to explain this to his sister, Luo Yu walked out of his bedroom.
He immediately encountered Luo Qingyu, who had just hung up her phone.
"How strange. I thought the landlady wouldn't refund our rent, but she actually agreed without any fuss. She even sounded very respectful."
"For some reason, the world suddenly feels so much warmer."
Luo Yu looked proud. "Of course. The landlady probably saw on the news that I passed the assessment and became a ninja."
"And I even earned a Silver Badge, making me one of Jiang Li's priority trainees overnight."
Ninja held a very high social status in this world, so ordinary people naturally didn't dare make things difficult for them.
Luo Qingyu pinched his cheek and smiled. "You're amazing, Yu. Tomorrow, I'll quit my job and focus on staying home to support you."
Luo Yu nodded.
He had wanted his sister to stay home and enjoy life for a long time.
After all, even if he did absolutely nothing now, he would still receive twenty-five thousand Ninja Coins every month.
Not only would they have no worries about food or clothing, but they could also live very comfortably.
Ten thousand came from Tengyang No. 3 Middle School as his allowance for being the Honorary Student Leader.
The remaining fifteen thousand was the allowance from the Ninja Association after he had reached Novice Rank Three.
