After the scene with Naruto and Inuzuka Kiba, the screen shifted. Naruto went to the outskirts and met an old man who showed no ill will towards him. Instead, they chatted casually.
He was trying to get information out of Naruto.
Masahiko immediately realized that this person was not an ordinary old man; he must have been a Ninja in disguise.
After chatting for a while, Naruto bid farewell to the other party.
Judging by the sky... it should be the time Masahiko received the prompt.
The next moment, in the camera, the old man watched Naruto leave and transformed back to his original form.
It was Kakashi Hatake.
Unlike his previous Anbu attire or his Ninja outfit in the main story, Kakashi in the scene wore casual clothes, with only his mask unchanged.
"Holy crap, Kakashi!"
"He finally appeared! But Old Thief Masahiko is truly cunning, he must have thought of this long ago, right?"
"Who would dare to do this job without some skill? Besides, he can practice Body Flicker Technique to such a level just by imitating, which shows how smart he is..."
"Could Old Thief be the boss from the previous arc?"
"Damn it, no! I really like this character and want to see him in the main story!"
As soon as Kakashi appeared, the bullet chat instantly filled up.
Masahiko also joined the fun, sending a bullet chat that said, "Holy crap, Kakashi!"
However, after joining the fun, he felt relieved in his heart—
Fortunately, with the experience of many predecessors, Masahiko remained vigilant at all times and did not reveal any flaws.
Just like this time.
Although he guided Naruto, it wasn't too obvious.
The main purpose of today's conversation was not to make Naruto seek revenge, but to make him self-reliant and strong.
By gaining powerful strength, he would become difficult to provoke, preventing others from bullying him like this.
If he had directly incited Naruto to take revenge, Mizuki would have been his fate.
As the prelude to the ending song began, Masahiko sat up straight, waiting for the subsequent reward prompt.
After a minute—
[Popularity Rating: S]
[Comprehensive Evaluation...]
[Congratulations! You have been promoted to: S-Rank Lead Actor]
[Received Remuneration: Actor's Advanced Training - Ninja Body Technique Arc]
[Ninja Body Technique Training Module has been activated.]
Function module!
Masahiko could not hide his joy.
Having received previous rewards, he knew very well—
This type of module reward is far more useful than a single Ninjutsu reward, and this time it's even an advanced training module.
Ninja Body Technique... Superhuman Strength Technique, Lightning Release Armor, Lightning Release Chakra stimulating physical activity, etc., are all Ninja Body Techniques.
This is also a very suitable path for Masahiko.
His Taijutsu and Ninjutsu alone are not very strong; his strength mostly relies on the combined use of Body Flicker Technique and Clone Jutsu.
If he can master a Ninja Body Technique similar to Superhuman Strength Technique, he can further integrate and develop it with Body Flicker Technique, following the 'Limit Break' approach of Body Flicker Technique.
The more he thought about it, the better he felt about this reward.
It truly deserves to be a reward obtained from over 60%!
Masahiko's eyes gleamed; he couldn't wait a moment longer and immediately entered the training space.
It was still a blank space.
The difference was that under the projection in front of him, two lines of text appeared.
[Intelligent Projection: No special memory, can be used permanently for free.]
[Personalized Projection: Consumes salary cards, can activate special projections with time limits based on the host's condition.]
[Note: The specific time limit will depend on the type and level of the salary card.]
Undoubtedly.
The second option is definitely better, but... no cards.
All those previous cards were consumed by Masahiko; how could any be left now?
He sighed regretfully, his gaze turning to the first option.
"Summon Intelligent Projection."
The next second, a black shadow appeared, slowly taking shape and solidifying, finally settling into Masahiko's appearance.
Masahiko was silent for a moment, then asked, "How can you help me?"
"Explaining the principles of Ninja Body Technique and assisting your training based on your existing knowledge."
The projection replied coldly.
Masahiko understood—
It was like an AI assistant.
He thought for a moment and said, "Then, let's start with the principles."
"Yes, Ninja Body Technique is a deep fusion of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu, or a technique that uses Ninjutsu to strengthen and enhance the physical body..."
"Therefore, to cultivate Ninja Body Technique, one must either have a massive amount of Chakra or master extremely strong Chakra control techniques."
"Currently, in addition to cultivating Ninja Body Technique, I recommend you strengthen your Chakra control techniques."
The other party spoke one point after another.
Masahiko recalled a few Ninja Body Techniques and realized it was true—
Whether it was Kumogakure's set or the Superhuman Strength Technique, they were essentially extensions of the Chakra Mode.
Other Ninja Body Techniques were combinations of Ninjutsu and Taijutsu.
The latter was simpler.
To learn the former, Chakra control techniques must be practiced.
After deep thought, he asked, "How should I train my Chakra control techniques?"
"Currently lacking relevant knowledge..."
"Damn it!"
Masahiko couldn't help but curse.
Free stuff really isn't that useful.
He pondered for a moment, then tried asking, "Is it possible to improve this ability by learning Medical Ninjutsu?"
"Medical Ninjutsu requires extremely strong Chakra control techniques, and it doesn't match your current needs. I recommend you practice Genjutsu first."
The projection slowly analyzed, "Besides that, you can also start by practicing ordinary Ninja Body Techniques, integrating Water Release into Taijutsu..."
Masahiko felt much better.
Although this projection didn't have strong intelligence or thought, it could help with analysis and assist in practicing Ninja Body Technique... it was still acceptable.
He already had the idea of integrating Water Release into Taijutsu.
"But whether it's Chakra control techniques or integrated Ninja Body Technique, they both require long-term training, right? Is there a quicker way?"
Masahiko asked.
The projection said, "One-Handed Seals require a very thorough understanding of Ninjutsu, to simplify the Chakra flow during Ninjutsu formation on your own..."
"Excellent!"
Indeed, this projection still had something to offer.
Masahiko began to inquire about the techniques of One-Handed Seals. Unfortunately, the projection only possessed some basic theories.
Beyond theory, it knew nothing else.
It's the free version... so he couldn't demand too much.
The basic advanced Ninjutsu arc didn't even know the theoretical knowledge of One-Handed Seals.
Masahiko began to practice One-Handed Seals—
He decided to start from the simplest to the most complex, beginning with the most common Clone Jutsu... The next morning.
Masahiko's research into Clone Jutsu was second only to Body Flicker Technique. After a night of training and research, he finally conquered the practice of One-Handed Seals.
What surprised him was—
[Clone Jutsu: Limit Break]
Just by completing the One-Handed Seal training, the level changed from "Perfect" to "Limit Break."
However.
This doesn't mean it has reached its limit; it's just a superficial panel display, with a kind of 'happy meter' aesthetic.
Masahiko was only slightly excited for a moment.
The value of this function module is definitely more than this; it's just that his current knowledge base is too small to fully utilize its Ninja Body Technique functions.
Masahiko decided—
For the next few days, he would spend half a day daily flipping through all the books on Ninja Body Technique in the Ninja Academy library.
After laying a solid foundation, he would then apply for more advanced knowledge of Ninja Body Technique through the Ninja Academy's channels.
