ANBU Underground Headquarters.
Lin Ze is walking down a stone staircase, with only a few torches hanging on the walls on both sides for lighting.
The purpose of his trip is Ninjutsu Repository of ANBU.
The deeper you go, the more obvious the feeling of being closely monitored becomes.
Lin Ze could feel that there were at least four obscure eyes falling on him from the shadows in different directions, with a sense of inspection and evaluation, and the cold Chakra wavered vaguely, as if a fatal blow might be issued at any time.
'The defense is really tight... at least two Special Jōnin and two Chunin. This is just what can be perceived on the surface.'
Lin Ze thought to himself, but his face remained calm, maintaining a steady pace and breathing.
The significance of the existence of these guardians is not only to defend against external enemies, but also to monitor all insiders who enter this place and prevent anyone from stealing or destroying the village's precious Ninjutsu information.
Soon, Lin Ze arrived at the destination of his trip - a heavy iron door with complex Sealing Jutsu patterns carved on it.
A ANBU clerk wearing a Suzuka mask seemed to have been notified and was waiting there quietly. After checking Lin Ze's Identification Token and Written Order, he silently made a few seals.
Buzz--
The Sealing Jutsu pattern on the iron door shimmered, and then opened heavily inward, revealing a brightly lit and spacious stone room filled with Scroll racks.
The air is filled with the special smell of old paper and ink, as well as a faint smell of herbs used for antiseptic and insect repellent.
There are countless Scroll placed on the Scroll shelves in different categories, from the basic D-Rank Ninjutsu to the advanced Scroll marked with the words "secret" and "forbidden", there is a dazzling array of them.
This is a microcosm of Konohagakure's huge Ninjutsu system, and it is a treasure house of knowledge that countless Ninjas dream of.
"Sir Aoda, you have one hour to choose. You are allowed to browse the catalog and some introductions. In the end, you can only bring out one copy of Scroll. After you have made your selection, register with me."
The voice behind Suzuka's mask was calm and calm. After explaining the rules, he stood back up like a sculpture and didn't look at Lin Ze again.
"Understood, thank you."
Lin Ze nodded and walked in.
He had a clear goal and went directly to the Scroll area marked "A-level", "Non-Elemental" and "auxiliary/special".
Hiruzen Sarutobi was generous this time, allowing him to choose one from the A-level Ninjutsu as a reward.
The euphemistic name is to commend his previous outstanding performance and potential, but Lin Ze is very clear in his heart. This is more like a kind of compensation and comfort to himself after the Land of Grass Valley incident.
'Hitting a stick and giving a sweet date is an old trick.'
'But it's okay, I don't want to give it for free. I just want to see if there is anything suitable for my current situation.'
Lin Ze was flipping through the thick Ninjutsu catalogue, curling his lips inwardly.
His eyes quickly scanned the names and introductions of Ninjutsu.
"Lightning Release·False Darkness", "Water Release·Water Severing Wave", "Earth Release·Earth Flow Rampart"... are all powerful attacks or defenses with huge power and high mana consumption Ninjutsu.
Lin Ze shook his head, none of these techniques are suitable for him at the moment.
What he wants to find more is the kind of technique that can greatly enhance the destructive power at close range and match his strong physique.
'Speaking of which, the most ideal thing is "Chakra Enhanced Strength" like Tsunade.'
'Use the extremely fine control of Chakra to focus on a single point to explode instantly, producing terrifying destructive power. If this is combined with the power of my Dragon Transformation, the power is unimaginable.'
With the mentality of giving it a try, Lin Ze searched the directory carefully, and even specifically checked every entry under the categories "Taijutsu", "Hiden" and "Non-Elemental".
However, from beginning to end, he could not find any record about "Chakra Enhanced Strength".
'Sure enough...'Lin Ze sighed inwardly, not too surprised.
"Chakra Enhanced Strength" is essentially more of a subtle application of Chakra, rather than the traditional "Ninjutsu" recorded on Scroll.
Secret Technique, the inheritance belonging to the Senju Clan, cannot be stored in this kind of Scroll library that is open to some ANBU.
This kind of bottom-of-the-box treasure is either passed down by word of mouth from master to disciple, or it is hidden in the more core and secretive Scroll of Seals. It is definitely not accessible to a ANBU newcomer who has just emerged in Lin Ze.
Suppressing his slight desire for "Chakra Enhanced Strength", Lin Ze gathered his thoughts and continued to search for a technique that suited him in the existing catalog.
Soon, the name of another technique attracted his attention-"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique".
'Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!' Lin Ze's heart moved.
He was very familiar with this technique. It was one of Naruto's signature plug-ins in the original novel. He relied on this technique and the huge amount of Chakra to achieve various counterattacks.
But for ordinary people, the side effects of this technique are extremely dangerous.
Evenly distributing Chakra means that the more Shadow Clone there are, the weaker each Shadow Clone and the body will be.
Once Shadow Clone is defeated in large numbers, the accumulated fatigue and damage will return instantly, enough to cause the caster to have a mental breakdown or even die directly.
'Chakra consumes a lot of money, and there is a risk of backlash... It seems very unsuitable for a type like me with little Chakra.'
Lin Ze rubbed his chin and fell into deep thought.
His mind was running rapidly, analyzing based on his own advantages and needs.
'My current shortcoming is that the amount of Chakra is insufficient to support the consumption of high-end Ninjutsu, while Taijutsu and Devil Fruit Powers are my strengths.'
'But the practice of Taijutsu, especially the development of Eight Gates Released Formation and Devil Fruit Powers, requires a lot of time and repeated trial and error. I practice hard by myself, the efficiency is too low, and I dare not do many high-risk attempts easily.'
'What if there are multiple Shadow Clone?'
Lin Ze's eyes gradually lit up.
You must know that every Shadow Clone is an entity and has independent consciousness! This means that Lin Ze can allow Shadow Clone to perform boring basic training.
For example, Hand Seals practice, Taijutsu move training!
Although the physical training effects cannot be superimposed, the experience and proficiency can be brought back to the body.
More importantly, the development of Devil Fruit Powers!
There are many delicate operations and dangerous attempts on Dragon Transformation Form and Elemental Manipulation. Lin Ze can completely let Shadow Clone do it. Even if it fails, at most Shadow Clone will disappear and the fatigue will return. It is better than being injured or even disabled!
'This is equivalent to having countless more experimental subjects and safety officers who are not afraid of death!'
Thinking of this, Lin Ze couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.
Although his Chakra is far less abnormal than Naruto, there is no way to separate thousands of Shadow Clone at once.
But with his current level, he should still be able to separate one or two in a short time.
Each Shadow Clone can last for a period of time, helping him with auxiliary training and dangerous experiments, but the accumulated experience can be returned 100%!
This efficiency improvement is not just a tiny bit!
