Chapter 136: Rat has a special way of infiltration
Rat is one of the twelve strongest Root ninjas trained by Danzo himself.
As his name, which comes from the Rat among the twelve Earthly Branches, tells us, what he is best at is infiltration work to steal secrets.
The mission he received from Danzo this time was to steal the information about the programming-style sealing technique from the orphanage and workshop.
It would be best if you could get the specific principles, but if that's not possible, obtaining a rune piece with a full set of runes drawn on it would also be considered completing the mission.
But even for him who is good at infiltration, it is definitely not easy to steal things under the nose of a puppeteer who is proficient in mechanical engineering.
Therefore, Rat did not act rashly, but issued a reward in the black market a few days ago, offering a large sum of money for the secret of making the flash yo-yo.
In this way, he could, without spending a penny, mobilize those money-hungry thugs to help him conduct a preliminary test of the workshop's security situation.
What made him laugh and cry was that a bounty like this had already existed, and his actions were just adding fuel to the fire...
After a few days of observation, Rat was almost certain of his guess:
"Those ten thousand year old Genin and those little brats using strange weapons are fine."
"The real problem is that they were able to quickly identify the intruders and arrive at the scene quickly every time."
"So, just as I expected, a perception barrier has been set up around this workshop."
"And its sensitivity is extremely high. Ordinary ninjas have no loopholes to exploit."
"Then how did Kimura Hideki create this level of perception barrier in such a short time?"
"But this is also good. If I can bring back both the programming seal technique and this interesting perception barrier..."
"Then Danzo-sama will surely admit that I am the strongest spy of the Root, and not that crappy walking miko or Usagi!"
There is a reason why the Rat is so confident.
Because breaking the perception barrier to invade is exactly what he, the rat, is best at...
Rat suddenly start to form seals, and silently said:
"Transfiguration."
A terrifying, suppressed cry of pain then rang out from the treetops...
A moment later, a tiny mouse jumped down from the tree and ran towards the orphanage.
After entering the vicinity of the orphanage, the mouse slowly stopped and waited for a long time.
Seeing that no one was paying attention to it, it suddenly revealed a cunning smile that was humane:
"Infiltration successful."
"It seems that even a genius like Kimura Hideki didn't expect that I, Uncle Rat, would sneak in this way."
Yes, the little mouse in front of you is actually the one that Rat transformed into by the jutsu he cast on the tree just now.
However, the transformation technique he used was not the common one, but a shapeshifting technique that was much more difficult.
The biggest difference between the two is that the transformation technique is tangible and can be easily dispelled if it is damaged, and it also requires constant consumption of chakra to maintain.
In this way, no matter how high the level of transformation is, once it is detected by the perception barrier or perception ninja, it will be exposed in an instant.
The biggest difference of Transfiguration is that it actually transforms the body from the inside out, temporarily, into the appearance of the corresponding creature.
As long as the caster does not actively cancel the ninjutsu, he will not return to his original appearance even if he is injured or even killed.
Therefore, if the chakra is not refined, the sub-rat at this time is no different from a real mouse, and there is no need to worry about being sensed by others.
Of course, this technique is not without its shortcomings.
For example, it requires the caster to be familiar with all the characteristics of the creature he wants to transform into, which makes learning extremely difficult.
However, this is also the reason why the rat who can master this ninjutsu will be appreciated by Lord Danzo.
It believes that this time will be no exception, and it will definitely not let Lord Danzo down.
Under the cover of the grass, the rat quickly arrived at the door of the orphanage, climbed up a big tree, and began to secretly observe the children playing under the tree.
After a while, it gradually focused its attention on an older girl who had been taking care of other children.
"Everyone seems to call her Artela. This girl seems to be very caring. I can take advantage of her..."
The Rat's eyes rolled and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Not long after, the school bell rang, and the children returned to the orphanage like young swallows returning to their nests.
Atla was still standing under the tree, collecting everyone's lost belongings.
Seeing the opportunity coming, the rat quickly jumped down from the tree, ran to the little girl, blinked his eyes, and put on a cute look...
Yes, unlike usual way of stealing information secretly like a mouse, this time after careful consideration, Rat decided to lurk here as a pet mouse.
Firstly, the opponent this time is a puppeteer who has mastered mechanical arts, and the risk of stealing things directly in the form of a mouse is too high.
It would be safer to let the animal into your home openly after it becomes a pet.
Secondly, the Rat is well aware that with Hideki Kimura's talent for invention, he will probably continue to invent various new things in the future.
Instead of trying to sneak in and steal every time, it would be easier to just settle down here.
So this time, the rat did not transform into an ordinary ditch rat. Instead, it went to the pet store a few days ago and bought a cute chinchilla for research. Only today did they become exactly the same.
Rare brown hair, big round ears, and a pair of big watery eyes.
Rat believes that no little girl can resist his charm in his current appearance.
Sure enough, when Artela saw it, his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Wow, so cute——"
Halfway through her speech, she quickly covered her mouth with both hands, for fear of scaring the little mouse away.
Then she had an idea, took out a small biscuit, squatted down and began to lure the little mouse.
"Come here, there's something delicious to eat..."
The rat was very proud of seeing this, but in order not to reveal any clues, it did not just run over to give it away for free. Instead, it carefully tried various things with the little girl, just like dancing tango.
After a long while, it slowly came to Artela, lowered its head symbolically and nibbled on the biscuit, pretending to have been successfully tamed.
Artela gently stroked its head, then its back, all the way down, and then... grabbed its tail and lifted it up, happily running towards the kitchen.
As she ran she shouted happily:
"Aunt Kelly, I caught a mouse, so I can give everyone a snack at noon!"
The rat was thrown all over the place in the air and felt confused. His small brain was unable to understand the thought process of this little girl.
"Rat is so cute, how can you eat it?"
