Chapter 211: Transplantation Technology, Cooperation Reached! [2/3]
A short while later, at the school playground.
"? I took first place?"
Naruto was shocked when he heard the news.
"Mm."
"Great! I want to learn super strong techniques and surpass Sasuke in one go!"
"Mm, I'll teach you a very strong Taijutsu."
Masahiko said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Naruto jumped up in joy.
Very soon.
"Sakura! How did you know I got first?"
"..."
Sakura Haruno's face darkened, and she silently shifted from walking to running.
A short while later.
"Kiba, I heard you fainted on the track. Are you okay? It's a pity you didn't see me take first place—"
"Damn it, Naruto, I'm going to kill you!"
Kiba Inuzuka's eyes turned red when he saw Naruto walking with Masahiko. He struggled to rush over but was held down by Shikamaru.
"Don't be impulsive, Kiba. Naruto's stomach isn't doing well right now; be careful he doesn't blast another one at you!"
"I—"
I can't afford to mess with him, but can't I at least hide?
Kiba Inuzuka also left with a dark expression.
Naruto was grinning from ear to ear.
A moment later.
At the Training Ground near the school, Naruto fell silent as he watched Masahiko kick a wooden post.
"This is the 'super strong Taijutsu' you mentioned?"
Naruto looked up at Masahiko, dumbfounded. His face was filled with the indignation and absurdity of being deceived.
Masahiko retracted his leg and said, "Taijutsu can indeed be very simple if you want it to be, but if you want to master it, power-delivery techniques and such are indispensable fundamentals."
His tone was indifferent.
"You can't even use the Clone Jutsu perfectly, yet you want to learn top-tier Ninjutsu? If you won't learn this or that, then leave!"
"I get it! I'll practice!"
Naruto shouted in a low voice.
Then, he followed Masahiko's instructions exactly, training and cultivating. Though it felt awkward, every kick was meticulous.
Thump!
Thump!!
With anger in his eyes, the wooden post before him might have looked like Masahiko; each of Naruto's kicks was quite forceful.
Before long.
Thump!
"Ouch!"
Naruto let out a miserable cry.
As he was wailing, a gentle power flowed into his body.
A water bubble appeared on his chest.
After a short while, the pain in his leg vanished!
Naruto blinked, finally realizing Masahiko was serious, and began kicking even more earnestly.
Looking at Naruto, Masahiko was thinking about how he should change his style to create a second identity.
Masahiko Yagyu, the Black-Robed Man—
To distinguish them, their Ninjutsu styles had to be different.
"Kenjutsu?"
Masahiko pondered for a moment before rejecting it internally.
Not suitable!
It wasn't that his Kenjutsu was lacking, but rather that it was too close to his main identity's style, making it easy for people to make the connection.
If he wanted a larger discrepancy—
"Summoning Jutsu?"
Masahiko thought of the Limit Break level Summoning Jutsu, as well as future characters like Tenten and Ajisai.
Summoning Jutsu could do more than just call forth Summoned Beasts; it could also summon Ninja Toolss, water, fire, and other substances.
This tactic had a certain power ceiling, but if used properly, it could certainly become a combat style.
Furthermore, he could summon Iron Palm and the others.
Masahiko's thoughts became active.
Exactly!
Continuing to research and refine this was a good direction.
As for the Panda Clan having been summoned before—
That wasn't an issue.
For a Summoned Beast family like that, it was perfectly normal for them to be used throughout an entire organization.
Of course.
This method was destined to have a ceiling that wasn't too high, unless he obtained the Ninja Toolss of the Six Paths Sage.
Therefore, this persona would be Jonin-level at most.
The third persona required more thought. From the perspective of differentiating combat styles, Senjutsu could serve as the core means for the third identity.
Senjutsu.
"I can ask Iron Palm if there's a way to cultivate it without going to their habitat."
At night, on the street after walking Naruto home, Masahiko sensed a familiar aura nearby that was being released intentionally.
He followed the aura.
Before long, at a small neighborhood clinic in this area, he encountered Kabuto Yakushi, who was on duty there.
Upon seeing Masahiko, the other party stood up and gave a slight bow.
"Mr. Masahiko."
"Kabuto, are you here on a mission from the hospital?"
Masahiko observed curiously.
Kabuto Yakushi bowed slightly and nodded, "Thanks to your help, I've obtained some missions and opportunities to earn money at the hospital."
"It's nothing; it's because you worked hard enough yourself."
He smiled, then scanned the surroundings and said, "Help me get some medicine for gastrointestinal issues. Naruto is always getting an upset stomach; I'll prepare some for him."
"Alright."
Kabuto Yakushi politely invited him to sit, then turned to prepare the medicine.
A moment later, he placed a small bag in front of Masahiko and said, "Two pills at a time, taken orally. You should know this, but I'm afraid Naruto might not be clear on it, so I've written some medical instructions."
"Okay, thank you for the trouble."
Masahiko nodded slightly, took the medicine, and turned to leave.
Once in the shadows, he sensed the surroundings. After confirming no one was following, he took a slip of paper out of the bag.
The front had the medical instructions, but on the back, a line of text was written.
"Meet tonight in the outskirts, near the Orphanage."
He put away the note and walked toward Naruto's house.
Late at night, in the woods near the Orphanage.
Kabuto Yakushi wore a hood and a black robe, with a dog-faced mask on his face, waiting quietly outside.
After a moment, footsteps came from behind.
They were very faint, but the other party had intentionally released their aura, so he had known for a while.
"How does it feel?"
"A spy will never have a home of their own, so just watching from afar is enough."
Kabuto Yakushi answered calmly.
He turned around and asked, "Senior Masahiko, I have already completed most of what you entrusted to me. For the rest, you only need to develop it yourself based on the foundation."
After saying this, he took out a scroll and handed it to Masahiko.
On it was a list of names, all rogue Ninja and merchants that Kabuto Yakushi had bribed or recruited.
These people formed an intelligence network that wasn't very deep.
However, most ordinary intelligence networks were like this.
To reach deep-level secrets, one could only rely on the Anbu or elites to infiltrate and investigate; this was also the reason for the existence of the Root Organization and the Anbu.
Masahiko gave it a cursory glance and then put it away.
"I already mentioned it to Hokage-sama today. My personal funding will be in place soon. Additionally, the Village will participate in the funding under the name of a social practice course—"
He relayed Hiruzen Sarutobi's words exactly.
After hearing this, Kabuto Yakushi looked at the Orphanage in the distance and said in a low voice, "Thank you, that's enough."
He took a deep breath to calm his emotions.
Afterward, Kabuto said, "Lord Orochimaru hopes I will contact you to complete a transaction."
He took out a scroll.
"This is some of our research regarding Bloodline Limits. We hope to exchange it for the Shikotsumyaku research in your hands."
"You want to exchange for the secrets of the Byakugan?"
Masahiko smiled.
Kabuto nodded, "Yes. After all, you once said that Shikotsumyaku and Byakugan could be fused to obtain even greater power—did your side succeed?"
"That person wouldn't tell me about such things."
Masahiko paused slightly, "However, according to my judgment, the fusion of Byakugan and Shikotsumyaku requires time; it needs to be slowly coordinated and cultivated."
"How can you tell?"
"Naturally, it was concluded from the Hyuga Clan. You should know that I've been getting quite close to Neji recently, right?"
Masahiko smiled.
Kabuto Yakushi looked thoughtful, then bowed deeply, "Thank you for your answer. I wonder if you could share your research on the Hyuga Clan with us?"
He paused slightly.
"Of course, our subsequent research will also be shared with your side."
"Alright."
Masahiko nodded and said with a cold expression, "But I need the technology for Shikotsumyaku transplantation."
"Then, the cooperation is reached!"
