Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

On the other hand, after the technical route of the research project was successfully established, in addition to the initial excitement and joy, a sense of unease crept into Kohinata Shingen's heart.

Just as Danzo was contemplating the stumbling block in front of him, named Hiruzen Sarutobi, Hagen and Shingen Kohinata returned to the "Research Lab".

Finally, Kohinata Shingen couldn't help but ask, "Hagen, if our ninja tools are successfully developed, civilians will also be able to pose a threat to ninjas. Won't this cause some problems?"

He vaguely sensed something, but due to his identity as a ninja, he couldn't express his worries accurately for the time being.

In fact, his thoughts were the same as those of a farmer who was a knight with a crossbow, worried that certain "privileges" would spread... Inventing scientific ninja tools was somewhat of a betrayal of the "ninja class".

Yu Xian thought to herself, "Why are we bringing this up again? Didn't we discuss a similar topic not long ago?" Well, Zhen Yan hadn't heard Yu Xian's explanation.

Just as Hagen explained to Danzo, even if civilian armies did possess scientific ninja tools, they would not be able to pose a threat to ninjas. Not to mention, their physical abilities are on completely different levels.

Civilian armies are at best equivalent to artillery emplacements or skill launchers; how can they fight against ninjas?

Well, for the time being, the military armaments and forms of warfare in the ninja world will not change much as a result.

Immediately afterwards, Yugen thought of a kind of ready-made fighting force that did not rely on chakra, namely the samurai of the Land of Iron... well, let's put that exception aside for now.

"Senior Zhenyan, we are just mortals. Mortals cannot see that far ahead. The future is inherently uncertain. Will it be changed by a small ninja tool?"

"Everything is uncertain. In any case, the only certainty is that we cannot let a little uncertainty hold us back... Progress is important, and the results of progress can be adjusted."

Yugen spouted a bunch of correct but useless nonsense, saying that in the end it was just a broken ninja tool and there was no need to take it so seriously.

This is merely Yu Xian's "contribution level".

However, these words actually helped Zhenyan adjust his mindset. He was someone who always sought change, and his deeper thought was that no matter how things changed, change was always better than no change.

"That's right, there's no need to overthink it... Let's make the ninja tools first."

Shinji Kohinata was also curious about why Hagen was able to seamlessly switch from a combat role to a research role, but he knew that he couldn't ask such a question.

…………

During this period, research projects occupied Yu Xian's main energy, and the actions after entering the dungeon became a kind of relaxation activity.

Having repeatedly entered the Nine-Tailed Fox's Chaos dungeon, Yu Xian had become extremely familiar with the entire dungeon event.

He was quite used to the combat method of increasing his stats by killing ninjas.

Konoha has a huge number of ninjas, which, in a game-like sense, would be equivalent to a lot of experience points. However, it seems that the current method of obtaining basic stats by killing ninjas is too inefficient.

The rewards for killing minions are far less than those for killing bosses and elite monsters, but the problem is that we've already obtained the biggest boss, the Feather String, and as for the rest... it seems we can't beat them.

It would have been better to just treat the Nine-Tails' rampage as a learning exercise, but unfortunately, Orochimaru was lurking in Konoha's secret troop library.

Let Yugen fight Orochimaru head-on at this stage? He doesn't have that ability, you know that?

Therefore, Yu Xian can only "hunt" in the dungeon. In fact, he faces the same situation in both dungeons, but the boss in the other dungeon is even more terrifying.

The drop rate for ninjas is generally low. For example, after mastering the five elements, Yu Xian couldn't seem to find the Yin and Yang attribute changes, which made him seriously suspect that the dungeon didn't even have these two attributes as drops.

Fortunately, there is always a low probability of losing ninjutsu. By avoiding Orochimaru's stronghold, he eventually became a ninja who mastered all five types of ninjutsu.

Of course, after grinding through dungeons for a while, Yu Xian finally made an unexpected discovery.

First of all, as he kills and absorbs the chakra of other ninjas, the "snake-like" state of his chakra spirit body is weakening, the scales on his skin are disappearing, and he doesn't look as pale anymore.

It was as if the chakra from an ordinary ninja was neutralizing and diluting the white snake blood in his body... Although he didn't know the further principles, Yu Xian intuitively felt that the transformation from snake to human was a good thing.

In other words, you still have to fight the monsters eventually; you can't skip it.

Yu Gen did try fighting against elite ANBU ninjas, but these ANBU ninjas were uncivilized. Once attacked, they would immediately call their friends and gang up on Yu Gen, the intruder, and beat him up in a righteous mob... So it's safer to hunt in the wild and attack lone ninjas.

Besides pushing the "becoming human" progress bar, Yu Xuan's constant use of his Sharingan has also made some progress.

Starting from Yu Xian's return to the front-line camp, about two months later, he obtained his ninth Mangekyou Sharingan.

Then it was the tenth one's turn...

Compared to the mechanism where each ninja's skills and experience drops only once, Yu Xian always felt that this behavior of collecting a person's specific organs and tissues was exploiting a bug... There was nothing he could do about it, since each ninja needed to be regenerated every time he entered a dungeon.

With a new body comes new eyes.

In the alleyway thick with shadows, two figures, each carrying a ball of bright lightning, collided head-on in the blink of an eye.

Raichet faced Raichet, their hearts pierced by each other, seemingly a mutually destructive ending.

However, when Yugen is in "Sage Mode", he is able to transfer his injuries, and can distribute the chest injury to less important parts, turning internal injuries into external injuries.

So don't be fooled by his miserable appearance, he's actually not in any serious condition... The reason he chose to trade blows was because that was the most efficient way to deal with Kakashi.

In fact, Yu Xian has always avoided a fair fight with Kakashi. He is worried that he will fall into the trap of being 50/50 and end up fighting with him indefinitely.

He was willing to sacrifice some of his strength to defeat Kakashi as quickly as possible; the price was worth it.

"Why...?"

"Why can I use your original ninjutsu? Uh, actually I'm a copy ninja too."

Yu Xian withdrew his hand, and as Kakashi fell to the ground, the injury on his chest was rapidly healing.

Of course, new wounds began to appear on his left arm and back, and blood began to gush out.

After avoiding a fatal injury, Yuzuru gouged the Sharingan out of Kakashi's eye socket.

However, when his chakra spirit absorbed the tenth Sharingan, a sudden change occurred.

A certain message flooded his mind...

Then, when he looked at the Sharingan pattern on his palm, he immediately saw a rather complex "cross-section".

"Huh? What's this called? A deconstruction of the Sharingan?"
