Synthesis Ninja system

Kabuto Yakushi looked at Shiro in surprise and asked, "You know me?"

Shiro scoffed, his eyes full of disdain.

"You're here to find Lady Tsunade because of the wound on your chest, right? I can tell you, that wound was caused by me!"

"Uchiha Shiro!" A raspy voice came from behind Kabuto. As they turned to look in that direction, they saw a pale face.

"Orochimaru! You killed the Third Hokage, and you still have the nerve to come to Tsunade for healing?"

Tsunade trembled all over, her expression quickly changing from surprise to anger.

She then punched the wall next to her, instantly shattering it to pieces.

Shizune, seeing this, was also filled with rage. She lightly exhaled, and countless steel needles flew toward Orochimaru!

Kabuto was startled. Orochimaru had a hole in his chest, and it was only through ninja techniques that he could barely hold himself together. Any intense movement would send him straight to his death without the need for treatment.

Immediately, Kabuto rushed in front of Orochimaru, quickly pulling out a kunai and deflecting all the steel needles.

But when he looked up again, Shizune had disappeared from where she had been!

Kabuto's pupils shrank as he swiftly kicked backward, sending Shizune flying.

"Too slow! With skills like yours, how can you serve by Lady Tsunade's side?"

Shizune looked at Kabuto in frustration. That kick had displaced her internal organs. With Tsunade's healing ability, recovery would naturally not be an issue!

However, she had now lost her ability to fight!

"What about me?"

Shiro walked up to Shizune and helped her up.

He then took out a forehead protector from his pocket and tied it around his head.

"A Konoha ninja? Do you really think you can hurt me?" Kabuto pushed his glasses up with his middle finger, laughing smugly.

"Kabuto! Don't underestimate him! This kid isn't simple!" Orochimaru, who had been silent, suddenly spoke with a serious tone.

"He's just a brat. What could he possibly..."

Before Kabuto could finish his sentence, he noticed a pair of crimson eyes staring right at him.

There were three tomoe spinning in the pupils.

Cold sweat broke out all over Kabuto's body. He had seen these eyes before!

During the Chunin Exams, Uchiha Sasuke also had crimson eyes, but his eyes only had two tomoe!

Kabuto felt his mind waver, and just as he was about to dodge, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.

His whole body flew backward, crashing hard into the ground!

"Still think I'm no threat?" Shiro sneered.

Kabuto's face twisted in fury. He spread both hands, and pale blue chakra instantly enveloped them.

*Ding!* Ninja Art identified: Chakra Scalpel!

Shiro coldly laughed, spreading his hands as well, revealing a pair of even larger and longer scalpels in his grip.

Suddenly, the scalpels twisted, elongating into thin, sword-like blades!

"Chakra form manipulation! Just who is this guy?!" Orochimaru looked at Shiro in disbelief, his face filled with unwillingness.

If only he had discovered such a genius earlier, he could have taken control of Shiro and used him as a spare body!

But now, Shiro had grown far too strong, beyond Orochimaru's reach.

However, he still had a backup plan!

Shiro leapt into the air, slashing forward with his chakra sword. Kabuto's scalpels were instantly cut in half.

The thin blade then slashed across Kabuto's chest.

Though there was no obvious external wound, his insides were already severely damaged! Blood continuously dripped from his mouth!

"So strong! And only twelve years old! The Uchiha clan really is full of monsters!" Kabuto muttered between coughs.

*Ding!* Task selection triggered!

1. Kill Orochimaru! Reward: Shikotsumyaku (Dead Bone Pulse)!

2. Repel Orochimaru! Reward: One additional synthesis attempt!

3. Let Orochimaru go! Reward: Wind-style chakra!

Shiro was overjoyed. He didn't expect such generous rewards, including a bloodline limit and an extra synthesis attempt!

But choosing which reward was difficult for him.

As Shiro hesitated, Orochimaru began to laugh coldly.

"Tsunade! If you're willing to heal me, I can help you resurrect those two!"

Tsunade, already filled with sorrow, trembled violently. Her heartbroken expression, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, was impossible to conceal!

Shiro saw Tsunade's reaction and realized that killing Orochimaru now was no longer realistic, as it involved the two people most important to her.

Nawaki and Dan.

If he killed Orochimaru now, it would definitely enrage Tsunade. It would be better to step back and choose the synthesis attempt! So he snorted coldly and shouted:

"Orochimaru, get lost!"

As he charged toward Orochimaru, Shiro chose option two!

Orochimaru, unable to move intensely, was kicked and sent flying! A trace of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

But instead of being angry, Orochimaru laughed coldly.

"Tsunade, you'd better think carefully!"

Kabuto and Orochimaru supported each other as they left. Orochimaru looked back at everyone with a smug smile, like a victor.

As soon as Orochimaru left, Tsunade collapsed onto the floor.

She stared at the ground, lost and devastated.

"Lady Tsunade, don't listen to Orochimaru's nonsense. He's definitely up to no good!" Shizune kept trying to comfort Tsunade.

*Ding!* Task selection triggered!

1. Mock Tsunade! Reward: Monster Strength Fist!

2. Comfort Tsunade! Reward: Wind-style chakra!

Shiro smiled helplessly.

At this moment, what Tsunade needed wasn't comfort. After so many years, if comfort had worked, she would have long since returned to Konoha to continue her life as one of the Sannin!

Instead of staying here, drowning her sorrows in gambling!

What Tsunade needed right now was to vent!

I choose option one!

Shiro strode over to Tsunade and pushed the still-comforting Shizune aside.

He then lifted Tsunade's chin with one hand and slapped her hard across the face!

*Smack!*

The sound was crisp and loud!

Not only Shizune, but even Tsunade was stunned!

"Shiro, what are you doing? Lady Tsunade is already like this, and you still provoke her!"

"Kid! Are you looking to die?"

Tsunade, like a furious tiger, looked ready to tear Shiro apart at any moment!

But Shiro didn't take her anger seriously and sneered.

"You're a coward, and you have the nerve to get angry? They died for Konoha, and yet, when Konoha needed you the most, you disappeared! You don't even deserve to be Nawaki's sister, or Dan's lover!"

"What did you say?!" Tsunade roared, punching a nearby wall, which immediately disintegrated!

Shiro didn't back down.

He knew very well that the more Tsunade shouted and lashed out with violence, the more it showed her inner turmoil!

"I said, you don't deserve it!"
