Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 17 Flying

"Perhaps we need to add a separate chakra control setting to improve it."

Xuanma had an idea in mind.

However, he only has 2 setting points left. Adding a setting will cost 1 point, leaving him with 1 point for modification. This is definitely not enough to achieve the desired effect, since his chakra control is already quite excellent.

"Let's look at the others first."

Genma's gaze swept over the other settings in the [Settings Collection].

Illusion techniques are ruled out first. Right now, his forte is not Yang Release nature transformation, but Yin Release nature transformation. These illusion techniques don't have much potential.

Medical ninjutsu is also excluded.

Chakra Refining Technique 1.0 is below the set value.

The Wood Release Chakra Mode is not up to the required level.

The Substitution Jutsu 1.0 was not enough, so the settings were revised again.

After using this process of elimination, Xuanma found that there didn't seem to be many options left to modify.

Clone Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Transformation Technique, Instantaneous Movement Technique.

Xuanma scratched his head.

Of the four techniques, we must first exclude the clone technique and the shadow clone technique.

Of the transformation techniques and the instantaneous movement techniques, the latter has the greatest potential for modification.

But to what extent can these two settings be modified?

Even if it were modified into a space-time type instantaneous movement technique, similar to the Substitution Jutsu, the teleportation distance would probably not be significantly increased compared to the Substitution Jutsu.

For teleporting a distance of ten or twenty meters, the new version of the Substitution Technique is better.

"Would transformation magic be a viable option?"

Xuanma pondered to himself.

E-rank transformation techniques can achieve a perfect resemblance in appearance and spirit, while also altering the voice. Those who master them can transform into stones, small animals, or similar objects while concealing their chakra to avoid detection.

However, it usually cannot be hidden from a sensory ninja.

Another one is that the transformation spell can turn you into a bird, but you can't fly.

Humans can imitate a rabbit hopping, but they can't imitate a bird flying.

If I could transform into a bird that can fly, that would be incredibly useful.

If one can transform into a bird and fly in the air while also being able to perform ninjutsu...

"It can be done!"

Xuanma immediately attempted to make modifications.

Transformation Technique 1.0: Transforms into a bird to fly, transforms into a fish to swim, and does not affect the performance of any of one's abilities.

But it failed!

The set value is insufficient.

Helpless, Xuanma had to settle for second best.

Transformation Technique 1.0: Transform into a bird to fly, transform into a fish to swim.

Become!

At the same time, the last two settings are also gone.

Genma immediately stood up and used a new transformation technique.

A flapping sound rang out, and Genma, transformed into a sparrow, flapped its wings and flew through the forest to the place where Kakashi was training.

At this moment, Kakashi was practicing Lightning Release against a mountain wall, which was pitted and charred.

Kakashi was so focused that he didn't notice a sparrow flying past behind him.

Xuanma circled around, landed on a tree, and transformed into an eagle with a wingspan of 3 meters. With a boom, it flapped its wings, creating a powerful gust of air, and soared into the sky.

This speed is unmatched by sparrows.

"Cool!"

Xuanma couldn't help but let out a passionate eagle cry.

Xuanma's excitement only subsided after flying to an altitude of over a thousand meters.

Then he discovered that even hovering thousands of meters in the air, his current vision was still able to clearly see Kakashi, who was training below.

Not only can I see it clearly, but I can also recognize its movements, and very, very clearly, as if they have been slowed down.

"In other words, in addition to the ability to fly, eagles also possess powerful visual abilities."

Xuanma thought it made perfect sense.

Unfortunately, in this state, hand seals cannot be formed, and therefore, ninjutsu that requires hand seals cannot be performed.

There were also no hand seal techniques like the Chakra Blade that couldn't be used, but Genma realized that this wasn't a limitation of the rules.

With more training, he could still use his eagle claws to perform chakra scalpel techniques.

If other ninjutsu can also be performed without hand seals, then transforming into a hawk would naturally also allow for their use.

This all requires redeveloping the training.

Of course, you can also directly modify the settings.

After circling high in the sky for a moment, Xuanma locked onto a rabbit and then swooped down.

With a swift extension of its claws, Xuanma seized the rabbit that had sensed danger and hopped away.

This feeling is unique.

Back in the forest, after transforming back into a human, the shadow clones that had been created earlier also returned.

He dispelled the shadow clone, and the Wood Release chakra returned to his main body. He then dispersed the chakra, and his stamina immediately recovered and expanded rapidly.

Xuanma quickly ate until he was full, then sat down to think about his next steps in cultivation.

Having chakra at the level of the One-Tailed Beast will greatly enhance the absorption of plant cell power, thus accelerating the body's transformation.

At the same time, Genma can also arrange shadow clones in the forest to refine chakra, and then his main body can use the summoning technique to summon the shadow clones and then release them.

This way, you can quickly enter Wood Release Chakra Mode during battle.

This is an imitation of Naruto's use of Sage Mode.

Then we must obtain the Wood Release technique.

As for developing it yourself... why waste time developing something that's readily available?

As for revealing that he possessed an alternative form of Wood Release.

It will be exposed sooner or later.

Moreover, there's no danger in being exposed; on the contrary, it will make them more valued and easier to obtain ninjutsu resources.

As for the shadow of the pot.

Is he qualified to compete for the title of Wood Release user?

Then comes illusion.

Xuanma already has some ideas.

However, he cannot rely solely on illusions, physical skills, and swordsmanship to fight his enemies.

"It's time to cultivate other elemental transformations."

Genma got up and walked towards Kakashi.

Sakumo Hatake's signature techniques are Lightning Release, Body Flicker Technique, and swordsmanship. As his disciple, and one who is born with the Lightning Release attribute, he had no choice but to inherit them.

"It will soon be Konoha Year 44, and I estimate that Konoha Year 45 or 46 will be the time when the Third Shinobi World War breaks out."

"If I graduate normally, I will be 11 years old, which happens to be during the Third Shinobi World War. This is not a good time to graduate right before the Shinobi World War."

"I need to accumulate real combat experience and mission experience a year in advance."

Generally speaking, it's best to avoid the Ninja World War.

But Genma has to get involved; he needs to change the characters' fates, and even the original plot of the ninja world, to obtain the setting value.

How can you compare to overpowered characters like Itachi, Naruto, and Sasuke without using cheat codes?

Itachi Uchiha awakened his Mangekyou Sharingan at the age of 11, which was already at the Kage level.

Uchiha Shisui may have awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan even earlier.

……

When they came out of the woods, Kakashi was resting.

"How is the situation?"

Xuanma stepped forward to inquire.

Kakashi, though tired, said with a hint of languor, "I'm confident we can develop the technique this year."

Xuanma raised an eyebrow upon hearing this; this was much earlier than the original timeline.

But that's quite normal.

Kakashi hasn't graduated early and spends a lot of time training in the village.

Secondly, influenced by him, the new chakra control training method made Kakashi's level in this area far higher than that of his contemporaries.

"How's your illusion magic going?"

Kakashi countered with a question.

Xuanma said, "I already have a concrete idea, but the exact completion time is uncertain. It might be soon, or it might take several months."

Kakashi became interested: "What type of illusion is it?"

He and Xuanma were friends, fellow disciples, and rivals.

Seeing Kakashi getting excited, Genma smiled and said, "Immobilization Jutsu!"

Kakashi frowned slightly.

These kinds of illusions are either very weak or very strong; he'll have to be careful in the future.

He didn't want to be taken down by Xuanma's illusion technique.

"Kakashi, I'm planning to start training in Lightning Release: Nature Transformation, so you'd better work hard and don't let me surpass you."

Xuanma suddenly said.

Kakashi was taken aback: "Lightning Release? Didn't you say you wanted to study Yin Release and Yang Release?"

Xuanma shrugged, looking utterly smug: "Who told me to be a genius?"

Kakashi gritted his teeth and stood up: "Don't worry, you won't surpass me!"

Sigh, I'll have even less time to rest in the future.

Having a senior classmate who works as a cheater is truly unbearable.

Kakashi continued his training indignantly.

Genma couldn't help but feel secretly pleased, and then created nine shadow clones to simultaneously cultivate the nature transformation of lightning.

Kakashi, who was about to begin his training, turned around, his gaze blank: "Your chakra...when did it become so much?"
