Shouldn't Be a Problem
"The things transformed are real, not illusions."
"Only the hands, feet, torso can be transformed; the head cannot be changed."
"The direction of transformation is currently limited to things whose structure I know, things with corresponding knowledge, and the size cannot be changed."
"The usage time is ten minutes, much longer than the Clone Jutsu, and the chakra consumption is also lower."
"However, it does not have the ability to negate damage after the transformation ends, so special attention must be paid to this."
Lin Ke spent some time summarizing the application of the Transformation Jutsu. His strange Transformation Jutsu is quite strong, right? Compared to the original Transformation Jutsu, it's ridiculously strong.
However, the effect of confusing others should be gone. Even if he transforms into a real animal, he still has his head, looking like the spliced result of some mad biological scientist.
It's both strange and sanity-reducing.
There are many restrictions, but the practical effect is okay. At least after transforming into some sufficiently hard weapons, both attack power and defense are significantly improved.
Like the previous Clone Jutsu, although it's strange, the effect is much stronger than the original.
Could this be my golden finger?
"Goo~"
Lin Ke came back to his senses, touched his stomach that was making noises. Chakra is extracted from the body's energy mixed with mental energy, and its use will inevitably be accompanied by a large consumption of physical strength.
Ninjas rarely exhaust their chakra or waste too much chakra. Once their physical strength is exhausted, they can only be at the mercy of others.
He had just reached the standard physical fitness, and he felt hungry after using the Three Basic Jutsu seven or eight times, which shows that his current chakra level should be very low.
"So hungry." The panic from the abnormal release of ninjutsu earlier, as well as the joy and exploration of discovering the golden finger, had made him completely ignore the problem of his stomach.
Now that his emotions had returned to calm, hunger suddenly occupied his mind, and he even felt a sense of powerlessness that made him tremble when he breathed.
Of course, this is actually an illusion after a large consumption of physical strength. He had experienced it many times in previous training and had developed a strong degree of endurance.
"I've decided, let's go eat ramen."
Lin Ke touched his stomach, picked up his small wallet, and walked out with his short legs.
After all, he is only 7 years old this year, and his height is only a little over 1.2 meters. He is not someone with precocious development. Even if he can already be called a ninja, it will not change the fact that he is currently a child.
Leaving the apartment and arriving on the bustling street, he shielded his eyes from the dazzling sunlight. He was in a good mood today and decided to reward himself with a bottle of happy water.
Thinking this, he bought a bottle of cola from the vending machine on the roadside and walked towards Ichiraku Ramen while drinking it.
If you want to eat ramen, how can you miss Ichiraku Ramen?
As the most famous ramen shop in all of Konoha, its popularity is not only due to its good taste, but more importantly, it is good and cheap, and the price of alcohol is not high. A bowl of ordinary tonkotsu ramen is only 60 ryo, which is super cost-effective. Paired with a 15 ryo portion of rice, it's super satisfying to eat.
[Note: According to Kishimoto's own setting, 1 ryo in the Naruto world is equal to 10 yen. This comes from Uzumaki Naruto's wallet containing 30,000 ryo when he and Jiraiya were looking for Tsunade. Kishimoto said it was about 300,000 yen.]
Since the commercial center of Konoha Village was not very large to begin with, and his foot strength was no longer that of an ordinary person, Lin Ke quickly arrived at Ichiraku Ramen.
"Yo, little Lin Ke, good afternoon." It wasn't the peak meal time, and the owner, Teuchi, greeted him with a smile.
"Good afternoon, Uncle Teuchi." Lin Ke also returned the smile. It's cheap, large, and filling, and it's very useful for replenishing the severely depleted physical strength after training.
Not everyone can be like Uzumaki Naruto, eating instant noodles and drinking milk three meals a day and still be energetic to the point of being outrageous. Violent professions like ninjas need to supplement a lot of high-quality protein.
As an orphan, Ichiraku Ramen is definitely a place he frequents. It doesn't matter whether he checks in or not. He skillfully ordered: "A bowl of special char siu ramen, a portion of rice, thank you." Then he opened his small wallet and paid at the counter.
After accepting the money, Uncle Teuchi went inside to get busy.
The store was still quite deserted at the moment. There was only one ninja with a classic green undershirt + vest and a big beard sitting in the corner drinking and eating ramen. After all, it was the afternoon.
Lin Ke flipped through his small wallet, feeling a little headache. He didn't have enough money.
After his father died, he left him an inheritance of about 50,000 ryo and a ninja apartment. After becoming an orphan, if he was unwilling to enter the orphanage, Konoha Village would provide a subsidy of 2,000 ryo.
In reality, these 2,000 ryo are only enough to barely survive. Even if he eats one bowl of ramen a day, it will cost 1,800 ryo a month. What about other expenses?
Moreover, if he wants to become a ninja, exercising his body will naturally require more nutrition and eating more food. Ninjas are not all big eaters, but their food intake must be much larger than ordinary people, and they eat more frequently, so they can afford to support such a large commercial area with various catering shops.
Now there are only 17,000 ryo left in his pocket, and another subsidy will be issued in half a month.
Now that he has become a ninja, he will definitely practice releasing ninjutsu more often and increase the intensity of his training in the future... Just thinking about it will be a considerable expense.
"Special Chashu Ramen with rice, please enjoy." While Lin Ke was pondering, Teuchi had already brought the food over.
"Then, I'll dig in!" Lin Ke slurped and slurped as he ate the ramen.
Since this thing was genuine Japanese ramen, the soup base was extremely salty. Some people could completely ignore the excessive salt content, but he couldn't. So, eating ramen with rice as a carbohydrate pairing was perfectly normal.
He finished a super-sized bowl of ramen and rice, even enduring the saltiness to drink most of the soup, which showed how hungry he really was.
"Burp~"
Full and satisfied, Lin Ke patted his round belly, drinking ice water while comfortably leaning back in his chair.
In any case, he had finally become a ninja, able to use ninjutsu, and he also had his own slightly strange golden finger. The future was somewhat worth anticipating.
But, now that I think about it, can my kind of Three Body Technique pass the graduation exam and the Genin certification exam? He felt a little confused, but then he thought, it should be fine, right? After all, the entrance requirement was just to release ninjutsu, not necessarily to release it successfully. His Clone Jutsu and Transformation Jutsu were indeed a bit strange...
Okay, they were very strange, but passing the entrance test should be no problem.
Even Might Guy and Rock Lee, who couldn't use ninjutsu, could be admitted because of their extraordinary physical abilities and physical qualities. The Ninja Academy's admission was more inclined towards the examiner's subjective judgment, rather than completely rigid standards.
Even if the ninjutsu is strange, being able to release it should be no problem for admission, right?
He used three consecutive 'should be no problem' to strengthen his confidence.
There was no other way. If he couldn't enter the Ninja Academy this year, he would have to become an ordinary Genin without a guiding Jonin or teammates, with absolutely no channels to learn ninjutsu. Then his golden finger...
Sigh, hopefully it will work out.
