Chapter 180: Rider Transformation Device
"What a pity.
Jiraiya, pulled over by Naruto, stood on the surface of the sea, no longer able to see any remnants of Shinra Raccoon.
In such a violent explosion, nothing would be left.
He had been thinking of adding a trump card for Konoha.
"Let's go back."
Jiraiya withdrew his gaze and said.
With the Shinra Raccoon incident over, the rest was the reform of Root and Anbu.
Naruto nodded and led him away.
Jiraiya gathered everyone from both departments, officially declared Root a thing of the past, and reorganized the structure.
He planned to re-divide the teams according to the specialization mentioned in the White Lotus Sectdoctrine.
Team One would be responsible for comprehensive intelligence work, including military equipment, trade, and counter-espionage of major ninja villages and countries.
Team Two would be responsible for operations in major ninja villages, including equipment, combat intentions, and surveillance, while also providing technical support.
Team Three would be responsible for the safety of Konoha's high-ranking officials, including the Hokage and hokage advisor.
Team Four would be responsible for the KonohaPolice Force, handling disputes among villagers.
Naruto felt a headache coming on after listening for a bit, and while Jiraiya wasn't paying attention, he returned home.
He looked again at the achievement he had just received.
To be honest, it was a bit outrageous.
Although the weapon was called Ox-Head Heavenly King, Shinra Raccoon had nothing to do with minotaurs.
Just like Nue, it died rather carelessly.
But complaining aside, the reward still had to be claimed.
Naruto came out after washing his hands and heard Hinata's voice.
He quickly went to the living room.
Hinata was bending over to change her shoes.
"Naruto-kun."
She put her shoes away and greeted him with a smile.
There was no surprise on her face.
She had seen Naruto's shoes when changing hers and knew he was back.
Naruto dried the water from his hands, walked up to her, took her hands and placed them on his chest, muttering.
"May the Moon Goddess grant me good luck."
Hinata was stunned for a moment.
Not because of shyness.
This level of physical contact was nothing.
Rather, it was the first time she had heard the title Moon Goddess.
But just as she was about to ask, confused, she was suddenly embraced and pressed against the wall, only able to make muffled sounds, her cheeks instantly turning crimson.
"You are my Goddess of Luck!"
Naruto said excitedly.
Hinata lowered her head, feeling hot and wanting to fan herself with her hands.
[item card: Rider Transformation Device.]
[Description: Permanent item, can load all item cards and Character Cards, and obtain corresponding appearance and ability changes.]
[Note: Only for the host. Rejoice! He is the king who gathers the power of all cards and knows the past and future!]
[Note: During transformation, the world stops for you.]
Naruto hadn't expected to draw the Rider Transformation Device this time.
It was as if the Goddess of Luck was smiling.
Oh no, she was shy.
Naruto looked at Hinata, unable to see her face, only her hair blocking his view.
He reached out and rubbed her head.
"Let's have grilled meat rice for lunch today."
"Mhm."
Hinata waited for his hand to leave before daring to look up, but when her eyes met his, she felt flustered again and quickly ran to the kitchen.
Naruto took out the Rider Transformation Device.
It was entirely white, with a card slot in the middle for inserting cards.
After he put it on, information appeared in his mind.
With a thought, the belt became invisible, which was very convenient.
Naruto took out the merlin character card and loaded it.
Instantly, he felt the world fall into stagnation.
White light enveloped his body, and there was even a faint BGM.
Accompanied by petal effects, brilliant light spread out around him.
Originally, Merlin's attire was a loose white robe, similar to a magician's, but now it had transformed into a half-armor.
Naruto moved his body.
There was no impact whatsoever.
He took out a Kunai and stabbed the armor.
A clear tremor was felt.
Very sturdy.
Naruto then drew out Enma and slashed at it, but it remained intact.
He looked at the system's prompt.
The merlin character card had four active skills, all of which had now changed.
Dream Charm, gained an additional effect: self-defense increased by 10%.
Genjutsu, originally consumed 30% of his Chakra, now reduced to 25%.
Hero Creation, grants himself or a teammate 30% increased resistance.
Resistance includes resistance to Yin ReleaseNinjutsu, such as genjutsu and mental secret techniques.
Fantasy Land of Eternal Isolation, increases self-defense by 10% per minute, stacking.
In short, he went from a squishy support to a tanky support.
Naruto then switched to his other Character Card.
White Zombie.
It was also white armor, but this time it was full body armor.
He glanced in the mirror and felt like Zhao Zilong.
Only one effect was added: no longer afraid of sunlight.
But that wasn't important; what was important was that his appearance had increased by nearly a hundredfold.
In addition to Character Cards, item cards could also be inserted into the card slot.
Naruto pulled out the commonly used Enma item card.
But this time, the transformed armor was based on the clothes he was wearing, making it look rather ordinary.
And Enma gained a new effect.
Originally, it was just a physical sword, but now it could cause damage to enemies on a spiritual level.
Like Ido.
If she were still alive, Enma combined with Fire God Kagura could probably cleave her in one strike.
Next, Naruto tried all the item cards.
All of them were enhanced to varying degrees.
He and Hinata had lunch, then went their separate ways to train.
Naruto had originally planned to find Shikamaruand the others.
But as his body trembled, he received news of a Shadow Clone's death.
The Shadow Clone left with Hana Rin.
Naruto transformed into Sasuke and directly used the Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport there.
But not in front of Hana Rin, but near her.
As soon as he landed, he saw Obito fighting Kakashi.
Coupled with Hana Rin looking worried in the distance.
This scene was somewhat classic.
"It's snowing again."
Naruto looked up at the sky, filled with emotion.
He could tell Obito seemed very angry.
He wondered if it was because of Hana Rin.
And Kakashi was shocked.
Because he found it strange that his fighting seemed to be completely seen through by the masked man in front of him.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
It was as if the masked man's combat experience completely overwhelmed his own.
But he knew this situation was impossible.
He was the famous Kakashi Hatake.
After a furious beating, Obito disappeared directly.
Under his deliberate action, he had hidden his Mangekyo Sharingan.
"That was a good trick just now."
Obito looked at Naruto, or rather, Sasuke.
He had attacked Sasuke earlier, but it turned out to be a Shadow Clone.
The sound of the fight was noticed by Kakashi.
The two of them then started fighting.
Obito had originally intended to exchange a few blows and leave, as Kakashi was too familiar with him, making it easy to expose his identity.
However, after he noticed Hana Rin, he felt inexplicably angry.
But no matter what, it was over.
He needed to properly confirm Sasuke's identity.
"Who are you?"
Naruto frowned, his face cold, and asked, "Why did you attack me?"
"Why? Probably to test your strength or your capacity."
Obito said playfully.
Uchiha Itachi had said something similar on Clan Massacre Night.
Naruto's expression immediately changed, his eyes showing three tomoe, radiating killing intent.
"What did you just say? Capacity? Who exactly are you?"
