Chapter 26: Drastic Increase in Jutsu

Chapter 26: Drastic Increase in Jutsu

Authors note: Double chapter boys...if I don't get more power stones I have nothing to say :((

...

After convincing Yuki to eventually take the A rank Quest, Naido sensei called for him as Ayumi came to me.

"How was your training with Naido sensei?" I questioned to which she seemed surprised.

After she was punished by the system, I didn't talk to her much anymore. Before I made it a point to interact with her, but I decided until she took the game seriously, there was no need for me to talk with her.

But weeks had passed and she was training constantly.

"It was alright. Apparently I had the Water Element. Naido sensei mentioned you have it too?" She asked, to which I nodded.

"I am fairly good in controlling the water element and am building a good repertoire of Jutsu. If you want to trade pointers, let me know."

After saying that we fell into an awkward silence for a little bit.

Eventually, I brought up something else, "What's your stats right now?"

"I am about to reach the Peak of Chunin. Right now the forums are beginning to mention something called a personal quest at Peak Chunin rank, something that most Guild people already know. So I wanted to reach that state."

It made sense that general players were beginning to know about this as well. It has been more than a couple of weeks since I got my quest.

I wouldn't even be surprised if among the Millions of players, a couple hundred reached the Jonin rank.

But I was in no rush, most of them won't become a Kage.

To reach the Dao, one needs a solid foundation…wait this might be the wrong fanfic.

"Yeah, there is a Personal Quest. You are going to have to select a rank for it too."

"Yeah I read. I am thinking about taking a B rank. C just seems too low, and I read something about having to fight beyond your rank in A…"

Was there some Forum post I didn't read? Why are these 2 saying the same things?

I contemplated talking to Ayumi about joining my new Faction, until I saw Naido sensei motioning for me to Join him.

"I will be right back."

As I walked to Naido Sensei and Yuki walked past me, I whispered to him, "Please tell Ayumi what I told you and see if she is interested in Joining us."

Yuki nodded at that, and I moved on to the sensei.

"Alright then Team Captain, how are you feeling about leading a Squad?" He questioned me, probably wanting to see how I would be as a leader.

After all, being a Ninja was not only about being good at killing and tasks. Sometimes, one will have to lead their squads through battles they clearly cannot win.

"I am slightly nervous since their lives are in my hands." I said honesty. I didn't really care about the Players.

It was more about Sakura and Sasuke.

Yuki and Ayumi could redo their lives if they did die, but Sasuke and Sakura couldn't.

I didn't really give a shit about current Sakura, but her future counterpart was a beast I wanted on my side.

Being able to Heal thousands of Shinobi, fight toe to toe with the strongest in the world and help Seal Kaguya.

That girl was no Joke.

And then there was the Emo man…one of the 2 destinies ones and a reincarnation of a Demigod.

If he died, sealing Kaguya might be impossible. I did not want to see how the world would react to sasuke dying.

And I definitely did not want Itachi thinking it was my fault.

"Good." Naido sensei said to which I was slightly shocked. What did bro mean good?

"Being nervous is good. It keeps you alert. I would think you're an idiot if you're fully confident during a war."

When I heard that explanation, it made sense.

"As agreed upon, we will be learning plenty of Jutsu." Naido Sensei said, but I wanted to ask first.

"Sensei, what did you end up teaching the other 2?"

"Well, those 2 are not like you." Naido sensei said, "While I didn't want to tell you before since I didn't want it to get in your head, yet seeing you training constantly stilL I can reveal this now.

You're supremely talented in your elemental affinities. What you learnt takes others years. Even with the Shadow Clone method, you're learning really quickly.

I am going to have to take it much slower with them, so after knowing their Water and Fire elements (Yuki), I am going to teach them C rank Jutsu and then elemental manipulation."

"Alright then, what am I going to be doing sensei?" I questioned, to which he had a slightly crazy smile on his face.

"Well, why don't we start by making 10 Shadow Clones each? And every single one will be doing something different."

"..."

Was I even going to survive this training?

…

2 weeks passed by in a flash, and we reached the border of the village to see tents and a rudimentary medical camp already prepared with tens of Genin running around and preparing rations and fresh water.

Some of them seemed to be players but the majority were normal NPCs.

"You are the first team to arrive, Naido." Said Kakashi as he approached us with his hands in his pockets.

"Kakashi sensei!" Sakura called out excitedly. She was probably relieved since she had seen his strength first hand and needed something reliable in this uncertain place.

"Hello Sakura." He said with warmth in his voice, he too probably felt bad that a young ninja had to go through a war like he did.

"What are our instructions?" Naido sensei asked.

"Rest up for a bit and once you're at full strength head west. Pakkun was able to sense 100 Genin level Ninja who set up camp 10 Kilometers in that direction. I am sure it is a trap for just Genin to be wandering around, so I want you to investigate first. If it truly is just Genin, kill them all except 1 and bring them back to me."

[Side Quest 

(Part of the World Quest)

Rank: C

Description: Investigate and eliminate a group of Ninja who are hiding near your camp.

Rewards:

1 EXP per Genin

5 EXP per Chunin

10 EXP per Jonin

250 EXP per Elite-Jounin]

"Alright, you heard Commander Kakashi." Naido sensei said in a serious voice, clearly taking everything regarding the war seriously.

That took even Kakashi by surprise but he didn't say anything.

"We move in an hour, be prepared." He said as he dropped his bag and disappeared from his current location.

I myself read the new Mission panel that had popped for us.

Did this mean there was 1 Jounin and Elite-Jounin for sure in hiding, or was the system simply informing us that that will be the future reward.

Naido sensei came back right around the time the hour passed, and when he did he went to see Kakashi sensei straight and then met us.

"Your mission objective has changed, annihilate all enemy Shinobi. I will not be following you since I have another mission. Shikomu, you are in charge."

I nodded at sensei as he flickered away to whatever other mission we had and as he did, Kakshi sensei walked out of the area.

"Your sensei has some pent up frustrations so he already went ahead and killed the Jonin ninja hiding in the ambush." Kakashi sensei said as he scratched the back of his head.

"But he didn't want to take away the whole experience so your mission is to kill them all. Now Sasuke I know it might be hard, still, play nice." Then his voice turned grim as he said. "This time I will not be around to baby you."

"Move, now." And as he ordered that, we all dispersed.

I moved in the middle of the whole team, with Sasuke at the front. Sakura and Ayumi behind him and Yuki behind me.

Our build was not optimal since we didn't have a sensory ninja, but Sasuke with his 1 Tomme Sharingan could take that role for now.

As we approached the camp of genin, Sasuke gave us a hand sigh and we all stopped at the top of some trees.

It seems like it was time for me to make my plan as I lead the Squad. Literally everyone was looking at me for my decision right now.

(Author's note: Alright guys, this is going to be a massive dump for all the new Jutsu the Mc has learnt. Sure, some he will use. Most he will NOT BE USING.

What I mean is, he is building a Jutsu repertoire, mainly for his future self. To be as versatile as possible depending on the situation.

New Jutsu:

[Ninjutsu: Water Release: Water Needle Jutsu 

Rank: C 

Description: Water Release: Water Needle Jutsu allows the user to condense water into harp, high-speed needles that can be launched at an opponent. These needles are small but fast, making them excellent for targeting weak points or disrupting an enemy's focus. While not as powerful as larger techniques, they require minimal chakra and can be used in quick succession. 

Proficiency: 100/300] 

[Ninjutsu: Water Release: Mist Veil Jutsu 

Rank: C 

Description: Water Release: Mist Veil Jutsu creates a thin but dense mist that reduces visibility in a localized area. Unlike the Hidden Mist Jutsu, this technique does not completely obscure vision but instead distorts movement and depth perception, making it harder for enemies to aim or react properly. Useful for stealth, misdirection, and setting up ambushes. 

Proficiency: 100/300] 

[Ninjutsu: Water Release: Water Rope Binding 

Rank: C 

Description: Water Release: Water Rope Binding forms thin, flexible strands of water that wrap around the target's limbs, restricting movement and preventing hand seals. This technique is quick to cast, making it ideal for capturing enemies mid-battle or stopping an opponent from retaliating. Works best when combined with other water-based techniques. 

Proficiency: 100/300] 

[Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Stone Fang Jutsu 

Rank: C 

Description: Earth Release: Stone Fang Jutsu creates sharp, jagged stone spikes that rapidly emerge from the ground to impale or obstruct enemies. The user can manipulate the placement and angle of the spikes, making it useful for both offensive attacks and battlefield control. 

Proficiency: 100/300 ]

[Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Tremor Palm

Rank: C 

Description: Earth Release: Tremor Palm sends a concentrated seismic shockwave through the ground with a single palm strike, disrupting balance and knocking opponents off their feet. This jutsu is especially effective in close-quarters combat and can destabilize structures or terrain. 

Proficiency: 100/300]

[Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Subterranean Evasion

Rank: C 

Description: Earth Release: Subterranean Evasion allows the user to quickly sink into the ground, moving unseen beneath the surface before emerging elsewhere. This technique is excellent for dodging attacks, setting up ambushes, or escaping danger. 

Proficiency: 100/300 ] 

[Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Echo Sense 

Rank: C 

Description: Earth Release: Echo Sense enables the user to send small vibrations through the ground, allowing them to detect hidden enemies, movement patterns, or nearby tunnels. This technique is useful for tracking, avoiding ambushes, and gathering intel. 

Proficiency: 100/300]

[Ninjutsu: Water Release: Drilling Hydra Strike

Rank: B

Description: The user generates multiple high-pressure water jets shaped like hydra heads, which extend and twist toward the enemy. These heads move unpredictably, striking with enough force to break through armor and defenses. The water pressure is sharp enough to cut through trees and even dent metal.

Proficiency: 100/500]

[Ninjutsu: Water Release: Exploding Bubble Barrage

Rank: B

Description: The user creates a series of highly pressurized water bubbles, launching them at high speed toward the target. Upon impact, these bubbles explode with concussive force, disorienting and injuring enemies. The residual water can also reduce friction, making the battlefield slippery.

Proficiency: 100/500]

[Ninjutsu: Water Release: Rising Water Wall

Rank: B

Description: The user summons a thick, towering wall of water to block incoming attacks. This technique can absorb most physical and elemental strikes. Once the defense is no longer needed, the wall collapses forward as a massive tidal wave, sweeping away enemies caught in its path.

Proficiency: 100/500]

[Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Stone Avalanche Formation 

Rank: B 

Description: Earth Release: Stone Avalanche Formation allows the user to manipulate the terrain to trigger a controlled landslide. By channeling earth chakra into the ground, the user generates a cascade of boulders and debris that rush forward like a tidal wave, crushing enemies and creating battlefield obstructions. This technique is highly effective in mountainous or rocky environments. 

Proficiency: 100/500 ]

[Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Earth Maw Entrapment 

Rank: B 

Description: Earth Release: Earth Maw Entrapment is a devastating technique where the user commands the terrain to form massive jaws of stone that rise and clamp down on the target. Once trapped, the jaws exert immense pressure, capable of crushing defenses and immobilizing even powerful foes. Skilled users can manipulate the shape and strength of the entrapment to capture multiple enemies at once. 

Proficiency: 100/500] 

[Ninjutsu: Earth Release: Adamant Pillar Formation 

Rank: B 

Description: Earth Release: Adamant Pillar Formation is a purely defensive technique in which the user summons multiple massive stone pillars reinforced with dense chakra. These pillars are nearly unbreakable and can be used to block incoming attacks, fortify a position, or create cover for allies. The user can rapidly generate these structures around themselves, forming a protective barrier even against high-level ninjutsu. 

Proficiency: 100/500 ] 

 [Ninjutsu: Water Release: Flash Flood Surge

Rank: A

Description: Water Release: Flash Flood Surge summons an overwhelming surge of water in the form of a flood that can inundate an area in seconds. The water rises rapidly, catching enemies off-guard and drowning them if they are unable to escape. The flood can be directed to attack specific targets, using their movements against them, and is especially useful in flooded or aquatic environments.

Proficiency: 100/1000]

[Earth Release: Iron Bastion

Rank: A

Description: The user summons an immense dome of super-compressed minerals infused with chakra, forming an indestructible barrier that can withstand S-rank attacks. This technique absorbs impact and reinforces itself over time, making it one of the strongest defensive jutsu known. The user can also reconfigure the structure into tunnels or escape routes if needed.

Proficiency: 100/1000]

[Earth Release: Mountain's Embrace

Rank: A

Description: The user slams their foot into the ground, creating a semi-sentient wall of rock that moves to protect them like an iron guardian. It reacts to incoming attacks and shifts position automatically, deflecting even high-level techniques while reinforcing itself with layers of hardened minerals.

Proficiency: 100/1000]

I will not describe Water and Earth Clones, pretty brain dead if you have ever watched Naruto.
