Chapter 12: Another 10X The fuq!!

Just found out this story got 20 stones an extra will be released as promised.

Ten people in the Root, the strongest elite in the Root organization, Danzo organized 3 elite Shinobi, Aburame Torune, Aburame Ryoma, Yamanaka Kaze led by ten assassination troops. It can be said that the ten of them joined forces and could destroy a small village.

If the Root organization is the dark side of Konoha, then the Root ten are the strongest executors of that darkness!

Under Danzo's order, the ten members of the Root division had already begun to operate, each taking their place.

Around the Uzumaki courtyard, Root operatives had stationed spies everywhere.

At the gate of the small courtyard, a child was poking ants with a branch. Upon closer inspection, the branch he held in his hand actually had small sprouts growing at the top.

And in the courtyard, Ryoto slept on the bed, looking at his attribute panel.

[Name: Ryoto].

[Strength: Ordinary Jonin].

[Position: Shinobi].

[Character card: SSS-level Senju Hashirama (fusion degree 5.79%)].

[Bloodline Limit: God-level Wood Release (granted by the character card)].

[Ninjutsu: Flying Thunder God Lv3, Edo Tensei Lv3, Chidori Lv1].

"The character card of Hashirama Senju is too strong. Even at just 5% fusion, I'm already at the Jonin level."

Ryoto thought about it carefully. It made sense. After all, Hashirama was the God of Shinobi, a powerhouse on par with Uchiha Madara.

When Madara was at his peak, he single-handedly fought against the Five Kage, meaning that just 20% of his power surpassed a Kage-level ninja.

Then 5% of Hashirama's power being equal to an ordinary Jonin wasn't too surprising.

Moreover, Ryoto had inherited all of Hashirama's ninjutsu.

His combat experience was also completely replicated.

The system evaluated Ryoto's strength based on his current chakra reserves, skills, and abilities, ranking him as an ordinary Jonin.

But Ryoto felt that even an elite Jonin wouldn't be his match.

"Originally, I needed a year to go from 5% fusion to 100% fusion. Now, with the speed increased 20 times, I can fully fuse in just 18 days?"

"This speed is pretty decent."

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

"Ryoto."

It was Kushina.

The door opened, revealing Kushina in a blue dress. Her long red hair framed her face, and her fair skin seemed to glow.

"Are you okay? It's still early. Why don't we go see Minato? He got injured that night."

"Well, how bad is his injury? Am I going to owe him money?"

Kushina was stunned for a moment, then giggled. "It wasn't you who injured him. No, after you hit him, I heard that the Raikage came to rescue the Kumogakure spy and tried to capture Minato at the same time."

"That happened?"

"Yes, luckily, Lord Orochimaru arrived in time and saved Minato and the others."

"I heard Orochimaru was injured too, but he didn't seem too bad this morning…"

Ryoto listened to Kushina's explanation and realized that Orochimaru had been injured last night. No wonder he seemed weakened.

So Orochimaru's strength was still intact.

But by the time Orochimaru recovered, Ryoto would have already fused even further.

Even if it took a week, he could reach over 30% fusion, making it easy to deal with Orochimaru.

"Ryoto, let's go visit Minato and Sakumo. After all, they also came to save me."

[Ding! Please make a choice!]

[Option 1: Go to the hospital and visit Minato to gain his friendship! Reward: C-rank Ninjutsu – Shattering Rain Senbon.]

[Option 2: Refuse directly and drive Kushina away! Reward: Kushina's Affection -10, B-rank Summoning Jutsu – Earth Release: Fang Pursuit Technique.]

[Option 3: Visit another day. Ryoto, today you shall stay home and be a lazy salted fish! Reward: 10x Fusion Speed of Hashirama's Character Card, B-rank Taijutsu – Leaf Lotus.]

It seemed like the system wanted him to keep slacking off…

Ryoto glanced at Kushina and immediately lay back down.

"I'm feeling a bit sleepy today. Let's go another day. Minato won't be leaving the hospital so soon."

Kushina crossed her arms and huffed. "Ryoto, why are you so lazy?!"

"Ugh, I'm just really tired."

Kushina stomped her foot in frustration and left.

Uzumaki Mito overheard Kushina complaining about Ryoto's laziness and sighed. She had never seen someone this laid-back before.

Then, Mito thought for a moment and said, "Kushina, do you think Ryoto might be unwell after awakening his Bloodline Limit?"

Kushina, still irritated, suddenly became worried for Ryoto. She immediately asked, "Grandma Mito, what should we do then?"

Mito considered it and said, "Well, let's call Shizune to check on him. She recently returned."

Since Tsunade wasn't in Konoha, Mito trusted her granddaughter's personal disciple, Shizune, the most.

...

In his room,

Ryoto lay on his bed. He could increase his abilities just by sleeping.

The life of a slacker was so dull and uneventful.

Suddenly, there was another knock at the door.

"Who?"

Opening the door, he saw the old lady, Kushina, and a little girl.

"This is…"

"Ryoto, I thought you might be feeling unwell, so I brought someone to check on you."

"This is Tsunade's disciple, Shizune."

Shizune?

Tsunade's disciple?

This little girl?

She was adorable!

Ryoto was slightly surprised.

Shizune nodded and curiously examined Ryoto.

She had been traveling outside Konoha and would return every few months, mainly to gather intel and bring money back for her master or her to gamble very same day.

This time, upon returning, she heard about the Kumogakure spy kidnapping Kushina, as well as the Raikage and Eight-Tails sneaking into the Fire Country.

Naturally, she had also heard about Ryoto.

Upon learning that he might be unwell, Shizune had come without hesitation.

The first thing she said when she saw Ryoto was: "Ryoto-kun, take off your clothes and let me examine you…"
