-Asura Path: Five-Finger Missiles!
Shhk! Naruto detached the wrist of one mechanical arm, pulled a string of missiles from the opening, and fired them at the distant woods!
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM...!!
After a series of tremendous explosions, the woods were flattened, and the dozens of jackals lurking there had all become corpses!
Violet gaped in astonishment. "What was that? Ninjutsu!?"
Click! Naruto reattached the wrist and flexed his fingers... crisp mechanical clicks rang out.
The Asura Path, one of the Rinnegan's Six Paths abilities, allowed the user to summon mechanical armor onto their body and perform Taijutsu beyond human limits.
It could even summon artillery weapons that did not exist in the Ninja world, with options for both long and close range, enough to handle all kinds of combat situations!
All this armor and weaponry came from a place called the Asura Workshop. Unlike the Animal Path's Realm of Reincarnation, the user could not enter the Asura Workshop. At least, there was currently no way to get inside!
In answer to Violet's question, Naruto said casually, "More or less..."
Click! Click!
Killing the lurking jackals had merely been an incidental task. Naruto removed the mechanical head summoned onto his shoulder, then the mechanical arms beneath his armpits, and began dismantling them under Violet's bewildered gaze!
What is he doing?? Taking his own body apart?? Though those body parts do seem to have been attached separately!
Naruto considered his options. Of the machines summoned through the Asura Path, only the heads are customized for the user. Everything else comes ready-made. They're useful, sure, but a bit inflexible. Why don't I dismantle them into parts and assemble the machines I want myself?
Yes, this was the "expandability" Naruto had mentioned to Konan, and the reason he wanted those books on mechanical construction!
