Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

The next morning.

Nara Shikatoki went out for a run early in the morning, much to the disbelief of Shikaku.

Startled by this, Shikaku quickly covered his head with the blanket, saying, "I must not be fully awake yet, I'll sleep a little longer."

With the help of the cheat code, Lu Shi's life suddenly became hopeful.

After training with Minato for a morning, they went home to shower and then headed to the Ninja Academy together.

Not surprisingly.

Shuimen and Lu were in the same class.

At the same time, the class is basically made up of disciples from large families.

"Yo~! Shikatoki, you're here so early? Good morning, Minato." Yamanaka Gin waved his hand as a greeting.

On the other side sat a chubby boy. "Shikato, Minato, want something to eat?" Akimichi Cheng took out two bags of snacks.

Minato politely declined, saying, "Good morning, I've already eaten."

Lu Shi didn't stand on ceremony, saying, "I'll take a bag to try."

These two were his partners, a pig and a butterfly, and the three races had a good relationship, so they were quite familiar with each other.

As for the other people in the class, Lu Shi didn't know any of them.

Of Minato's generation, only Minato Namikaze himself became famous, along with Kushina Uzumaki, who transferred over a few years later.

After a boring day of classes.

Shika and Minato went to train together.

Such days are peaceful and serene.

For a whole month, Lu Shi was like this, while Lu Jiu was always the one being talked about, and every time he saw Lu Shi, his eyes were filled with a hint of resentment.

And today marks the breakthrough from 0 to 1!

[Current Skills: Shadow Imitation Technique, Substitution Technique.]

"NICE!"

This morning, Lu Shi officially began learning the art of shadow imitation. His skill level demonstrates that his efforts over this period have not been in vain.

"Start editing!"

There's nothing to hesitate about.

[Editing Skill: Shadow Imitation]

[Original version: By manipulating the caster's shadow to connect with the enemy, the caster is forced to copy their own actions.]

[Please edit this yourself:]

Looking at the original description, Lu Shi fell into deep thought.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck me.

"Change it to: pull the enemy's shadow to fight for me, control the enemy, and the damage the shadow takes will be fed back to the original owner of the shadow exactly as it was."

[Warning: The edited version exceeds the capabilities of Shadow Imitation Technique itself. Please add a suitable template to balance it. Forcing the edit will cause the chakra consumption of Shadow Imitation Technique to increase dramatically!]

"That is indeed a bit excessive." Lu Shi thought for a moment, "The caster's shadow must have touched the enemy's shadow, pulled the opponent's shadow, and fought with the opponent. The damage the shadow suffers will be fed back to the original owner of the shadow."

Lu Shi directly abandoned the original control effect of Shadow Imitation, while imposing the restriction that the enemy's shadow must be touched, thus reducing the damage.

Editing successful

[Shadow Imitation Technique - Modified (Completed), please check it yourself.]

"Great, next up is the Substitution Jutsu, which is a combination technique!" Shika said with a mischievous grin.

[Editing Skill: Shadow Imitation]

[Original version: In the instant of being attacked, the user uses a wooden stake as a substitute for their physical body.]

"Change it to: in the instant of being attacked, use a shadow to replace the original body."

Editing successful

[Substitution Technique - Modified (Completed), please check it yourself.]

"Hahaha! It worked!" Shikatoshi exclaimed excitedly. "I need to find someone to test it out, and you're the one! The future Fourth Hokage! Hehehe~"

Inside the training field.

Minato Namikaze and Shika Nara stand facing each other.

Watching from the sidelines were Nara Shikaku, Yamanaka Inoichi, Akimichi Choza, as well as Yamanaka Gin and Akimichi Tachibana.

"I heard your brother's been quite active lately?" Haiyi teased.

Shikaku rolled his eyes. "That kid has really been giving me a hard time lately. Minato should give him a good beating."

"Gin, do you think Lu Shi can win?" Akimichi asked, munching on potato chips.

Yamanaka Gin shook his head without hesitation. "Don't make me laugh, Orange. Don't you know what level Minato is at?"

"Too."

On the training field, Lu Shi looked confident.

"Minato, today you will taste the bitter fruit of defeat!"

Minato smiled gently, "Then let's go."

Lu Shi made the first move, shooting out a kunai.

Minato dodged to the side and quickly approached the deer.

Instead of retreating, Lu Shi advanced, and the two, wielding kunai, launched a rapid exchange of attacks.

It has to be said that Minato's reaction speed and attack speed far surpass his own.

But today, things are different.

The moment the two made contact again, Lu Shi quickly formed hand seals.

The shadow of the deer, the shadow that shoots towards the water gate.

Minato was caught off guard, but he reacted quickly, retreating rapidly.

The shadow made direct contact for a split second before being severed by the water gate.

"Shadow Imitation Technique?! No wonder this guy challenged me to a duel." Shikaku's eyes flashed with a sharp light. "But Minato has realized what's going to do now, what are you going to do?"

On the field, Lu Shi remained calm, because the shadow had already made contact.

"Shika, you almost succeeded," Minato laughed.

Lu Shi chuckled, suddenly remembering a Korean comic from his past life, and stretched out his right hand, saying in a childish, "Stand up!"

Under everyone's puzzled gaze.

A black shadow gathered and quickly solidified into a human shape.

The humanoid form looks exactly like Minato Namikaze.

Only the shadow was pitch black.

"What, what is this thing?" Minato Namikaze stared in disbelief.

The audience below the stage was also somewhat shocked.

"Shikaku, is this your family's newly developed shadow imitation technique?" Choza asked, looking puzzled.

Lu Jiu shook his head. "No, it should be Lu Shi who developed it himself."

"What's the use? Minato doesn't seem to be hurt at all." Inoichi stared at Minato.

Minato was also a little confused at this moment. Just as Yamanaka Inoichi said, no negative effects appeared on him!

"What's the use of this, Shika?" Minato asked curiously.

Lu Shi grinned mischievously, "Why don't you try and see?"

Unsuspecting, Minato attacked again, and Shadow rushed towards him.

One person and one shadow engage in a rapid battle.

After a few rounds, Minato delivered a side kick that shattered the shadow.

Just as he was about to continue his attack, he felt a jolt throughout his body. "What the hell?!"

Despite the pain, Minato quickly retreated.

"How did I get injured? When did this happen?! Could it be...?"

Minato looked at the deer in disbelief.

"Lu Shi, that shadow, could it be!"

"Stand up!" As soon as Shikato finished speaking, Minato's shadow reappeared. "That's right, if your shadow is hurt, then you will naturally be hurt too, though the damage will be limited. I'm currently thinking about how to solve this problem."

"Seriously? This is outrageous!"

Minato Namikaze's lips twitched slightly as his brain raced, quickly devising a solution.

Watergate launched another attack.

This time, Minato completely ignored the shadows and swiftly threw out three kunai. His purpose was clear: capture the leader first!

Lu Shi gave Minato a meaningful look.

This gave Minato a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment, Shika formed a hand seal for a substitution jutsu.

Shika disappeared, but what replaced Shika was not a wooden stake, but the shadow of Minato Namikaze.

The kunai pierced the shadow, the shadow disappeared, and Minato Namikaze was injured.

Perfect closed loop!

"Stop! I'm not fighting anymore!" Minato Namikaze clutched his chest. "I surrender!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi happily walked over and said, "Thank you for your kind words."

"Your skill is too underhanded!" Minato couldn't help but complain.

The deer felt no shame, but rather pride.

"Just tell me if it's any good or not. Tell me, how much damage does it do?"

"The damage was equivalent to a heavy blow, which is acceptable, but the fact that you can't defend against or dodge it is just too unfair!"

After listening to Minato Namikaze's words, Shikatoki nodded. "It seems we need to find a way to increase damage."

To be honest, this edited version already meets the initial standards of the Nara deer.

You should know, before time travel.

Lu Shi is someone who likes to use Teemo to laugh in LOL, Jie Xu Sheng to wreak havoc in Three Kingdoms Kill, and Dead Water, Obito, and Madara Uchiha to touch other people's heads in Naruto.

Whether it's strong or not is another matter; you can judge for yourself whether it's cunning or not.

You feel it's sinister because you're not the one using it.

When someone asks Lu Shi what he's after, Lu Shi will only tell them, "I just like it this way."

Shikaku walked over with a serious expression. "Shikatoki, did you modify these ninjutsu yourself?"

Lu Shi directly admitted that he couldn't very well sell the editor.

"Of course, isn't it amazing?"

"Come home with me, it's important for the family!"

Nara Shikaku left, pulling Nara Shika away.

As Shika was leaving, he shouted at Minato, "Minato, wait for me to make some more improvements, and then we'll have another spar."

Minato's lips twitched slightly. "We'll talk about it next time."

Nara clan land.

Nara Shikaomi sat there, listening to Nara Shikaku's report, and looked at Shikatoki with a surprised expression, "Nephew, try it on me."

"it is good."

There was a lack of experimental materials at the time of the deer.

The shadow made contact with Nara Shikaomi's shadow, and the next moment, Nara Shikaomi's shadow appeared.

Nara Shikaomi scattered the shadows.

He frowned slightly. "He suffered a heavy blow to the chest, and the force was considerable. He must have at least the taijutsu skills of a Jonin."

"Wait a minute, if it's Jonin level strength, why is Minato unharmed?" Shikaku immediately noticed the problem, then looked at Shikatoki in disbelief, "You brat, this technique is calculated based on the original owner of the shadow's strength?!"

Lu Shi chuckled sheepishly, "I don't know either!"

"What about chakra consumption?" Nara Shikaomi asked.

"I feel like I can pull Minato's shadow four or five times, but my uncle just pulled it once, and his chakra is almost completely depleted."

Nara Shikaomi nodded upon hearing this, agreeing that it made sense.

That's utterly unreasonable!

"Nephew! Could you please contribute this technique to the family?!" Nara Shikaomi asked eagerly.

This is simply the biggest change for the Nara clan in a century!

If you can stand on your own, who would still want to play the Ino-Shika-Cho combo!

Lu Shi nodded, "It's possible, but I can't guarantee whether you'll be able to learn it."

After editing, Lu Shi naturally learned it, but now the Shadow Imitation Technique requires a much higher level of control over Yin Release.

"Good! You truly are the prodigy of my Nara clan. Your uncle will not mistreat you. From now on, you must focus on your research. You can ask for anything you want, even the position of clan leader, I will give it to you!"

After Nara Shikaomi finished speaking, Shikaku's eyes lit up, and he looked at Shikatoki expectantly.

Lu Shi quickly refused, "No, no, no, Brother Lu Jiu is the young clan leader, I'll pass."

Upon hearing this, Shikaku's deadpan expression returned. "Actually, I don't have to be that."
