Naruto: The Shadow Behind The Scenes

"Hey Gaia, do you know what I get when you open gift boxes?" Yuto asked, a hint of curiosity creeping into his voice.

[Ding

You will receive the following rewards when opening gift boxes:

40% of the time, you'll get what you want the most.

30% of the time, you'll get what you need the most.

10% of the time, random things that may not seem important.

20% of the time, it's just a 'thank you for your patronage,' except for platinum gift boxes.]

[Ding

Gaia's voice took on a more serious tone as she continued.

Since you've used the universe favor (+200% luck), the chances of getting what you want and need have increased exponentially, which is why you've been receiving such high-quality rewards.]

Yuto grinned. "So if I want something specific, I just need to think about it more. That increases the probability?"

[Ding

Exactly.]

"Gaia, show me my current status."

A translucent window materialized before Yuto's eyes, detailing his attributes.

"Gaia, can you combine skills?" Yuto asked, intrigued by the idea of becoming more efficient.

[Ding

Yes, I can. Skills with similar properties can be merged. For example:

Soul Cultivation and Absorption + Soul Cloning and Perfect Possession

= Soul Alchemy.

Create Anything + Yin-Yang Rod

= Creation Alchemy.

Soul Servant + Soul Seal = Soulbound.

Size Manipulation + Parallel Dimension

= Quantum and Size Shift.]

Yuto smiled in satisfaction. "Now that my skills are organized, I can finally take some rest before the sun comes up."

But just as he was about to drift off, Gaia interrupted.

[Ding

There are people in the dimension you acquired by killing Isshiki Otsutsuki. Do you want to kill them or subdue them?]

Yuto groaned. "Can't I get a break? How many are there?"

[Ding

183 people.]

"Show me," Yuto sighed.

Gaia created an illusion before him, revealing several people conducting gruesome experiments on humans and animals. These were Isshiki's scientists, the ones responsible for modifying Eida and others into cyborgs. They seemed unaware of Isshiki's death.

Yuto's eyes narrowed. "Since they're in my dimension, use 'Soulbound' on all the scientists and kill the three strongest. Then use my soul clone ability on them."

[Ding

Using 40,000 SC for Soulbound and 30,000 SC for soul clones.]

Yuto's body jolted with a sharp pain as he felt part of his soul split. He watched as three translucent orbs emerged from his chest, flying into his dimension. They fused with the bodies of the three strongest individuals, and then there body was absorbed in the orb and then they slowly turn their forms into exact replicas of Yuto.

Suddenly, Yuto's perception shifted. He could see through the eyes of not just himself, but also three other bodies.

"What the... why am I seeing from four perspectives?" he gasped.

[Ding

Soul clone has divided part of your soul, filling it with soul coins. You now have four bodies. If one dies, the soul will return to your main body. You can also merge your souls to become even stronger than your main body.]

[Ding

You have acquired the skill 'Hive Mind.' Your mind is now one across all bodies, with one designated as the main. If the main body dies, a sub-body will become the new main.]

Yuto's four minds fused into one, with his original body as the main. "Transfer all knowledge of military related knowledge into one sub body and biotechnology, and gene modification to another of my sub-bodies," absorb back my third sub body he ordered.

Then he saw one of the sub body turned transparent but Yuto can feel the presence of the body and use as like as his hand and feet without any discomfort , then transparent body merged in main Yuto's body

[Ding

Transfer successful, my love, Gaia giggled, clearly pleased.]

Yuto smiled. "Let's sleep now. We'll have to work on research parallely from tomorrow."

Yuto's original body, still lying in bed with Jenny, drifted into a peaceful sleep. His two other sub-bodies, now stationed in the dimension, also settled in for the night.

Unbeknownst to the world, the strongest person in the ninja world had been born overnight.

---

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the window, falling on Jenny's face. She stirred awake, feeling Yuto's breath close to her. Her heart fluttered, and she leaned in to steal a quick kiss on Yuto's lips before standing up with a blushing face.

Her face burning, she hurried to the bathroom for a bath, hoping to cool down.

After a while, Yuto woke up, noticing Jenny's absence. He used his perception to locate her in the bathtub. Smiling mischievously, he quietly undressed and slipped into the tub behind her, wrapping his arms around her.

Jenny's body went limp as she realized Yuto was with her, her heart racing. After half an hour of soaking together, the two finally emerged from the bathroom, dressed in matching black outfits.

Hand in hand, they went to have breakfast and prepare for their meeting with Uncle Jack.
