The Strongest Gentleman Development System in Naruto

With a flick of her wrist, Mugetsu grabbed the blade of Hozuki Mangetsu's sword. She raised her right leg and kicked out at him. With a muffled thud, Hozuki Mangetsu flew backward.

In mid-air, his abdomen became hydrated, reducing the impact of Wuyue's kick. At the same time, his hands were raised in front of his chest, his hand gestures constantly changing.

"Using this move?" Wu Yue narrowed her eyes slightly, and her hands quickly formed hand seals.

Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

Although the two formed hand seals at different times, the completion of the techniques was perfectly synchronized, and the ninjutsu methods were exactly the same. In an instant, the sea beside them rippled violently. From the spot where they stood, two enormous water dragons rose up, opening their gaping maws to pounce on their respective enemies!

Splash!

On Wuyue's side, before the water dragon could even get close to him, he had already vanished from his spot using Instant Step. The huge wave of water crashed into the spot where he had been standing, leaving behind small puddles on the ground.

Meanwhile, Hozuki Mangetsu completely submerged himself in the water. He controlled the flow of the water, calmly creating a small river on the ground.

"Oh? Water transformation can be used like this?" When Wuyue reappeared, she was already standing on the river. "That's quite interesting."

Splash!

The moment he spoke, a huge ripple suddenly appeared on the water's surface.

Four vortexes formed a square around Wuyue, and then four huge water columns gushed out from the vortexes, converging in mid-air to form a giant water spear, like a sword of judgment falling from the sky, piercing straight down towards where Wuyue stood.

"A very flashy move," Wuyue exclaimed, though her face remained unimpressed.

That's true. At his level, even the most powerful ordinary ninjutsu would hardly pose a threat to him.

However, just as Wuyue raised her hand, intending to crush the opponent's move with a single blow, a certain damn system suddenly issued a notification sound.

Make your choice, dear host.

First, use the essence of the dragon! With a force three feet above the ground, crush your opponent!

Second, use the Chaos Dragon's Devour to consume the water-transformed Hozuki Full Moon!

Third, with your chrysanthemum facing upwards, let the opponent's attack hit your small intestine!

puff.

Wuyue's previously calm and composed expression instantly turned to utter astonishment, her lips twitching violently. Dragon essence, chrysanthemum facing upwards, cannibalism… Holy crap, do you have to be so grotesque?!

Suddenly I feel so frustrated! I should have just killed the opponent in one move, why did I have to drag it out! First and third options are out of the question, leaving only second option.

But, does it really mean eating people? No, that's not right! We can't think like that! If it's water, it's just a puddle of water, not a person! That's right, it's like drinking water!

Wu Yue made up his mind and decided on his choice. The water spear was getting closer and closer to his head.

Hidden within the flowing water, Hozuki Mangetsu had already begun planning his next move. He naturally didn't believe that this one move alone would be enough to defeat his opponent. He only hoped to cause some trouble for his opponent, and then find an opportunity to retreat.

However, to his surprise, just as the water spear he was controlling was about to strike his opponent, the boy suddenly raised his head and opened his mouth. Immediately, a powerful suction force emanated from his mouth, involuntarily drawing Hozuki Mangetsu's body and his ninjutsu towards it.

What's going on? What's happening?

I was terrified!

Hozuki Mangetsu tried to control his body to escape, but he was enveloped by a strange energy and unable to make any movement! He could only watch helplessly as he was slowly absorbed into the other's stomach.

This is a despairing process. The feeling of being eaten alive is hard to accept, even for seasoned ninjas.

As his mind gradually crumbled, the last glimmer in Hozuki Mangetsu's eyes was Mugetsu's dark red vertical pupils, which seemed to disregard everything.

These aren't human eyes at all, this thing... is a monster!

His last vestige of consciousness remained there, and Hozuki Mangetsu was swallowed by darkness.

224 Tragedy Strikes

"Congratulations, host, for completing the selection. Reward: Chaos Devouring! You will gain 50 days of various cultivation points, equivalent to 20 years of the Dragon Clan's growth cycle."

This reward is utterly outrageous, putting aside the Devouring skill for a moment. The dragon's growth cycle has increased by twenty years—that's practically unheard of! Are all those myths true? Can dragons really enhance their abilities by eating humans?

No, you can't! You can't think like that!

Wu Yue quickly shook his head, banishing the terrifying thought. Although his body was rapidly transforming into a dragon, and even his soul had become a dragon spirit—in fact, he could be considered a dragon nearing adulthood—his inner self still retained human thoughts and ideas.

Since he is human, he naturally abhors the act of cannibalism. Even if it could enhance his abilities, he would never do something so heinous.

Of course, this time he was forced by the system, not acting on his own initiative. Furthermore, what he swallowed wasn't human flesh, but rather 273, a puddle of water. Therefore, it should be negligible. Hmm, not included.

However, despite swallowing such a large amount of water, his abdomen didn't feel bloated at all. Had it already been digested? Or had it entered another dimension?

Well, anyway, this skill is really damn amazing.

Having stopped her wandering thoughts in time, Wu Yue vanished from the spot in a flash.

Rumble.

Amidst the pebbles and shallows, bursts of violent explosions echoed.

Not far above the horizon, Yekura gazed coldly at the mushroom cloud rising opposite them. "That's it, the matter is settled." Her gaze then shifted to the Konoha ninja to her side. Seeing their slightly wary and apprehensive eyes, she said calmly, "Finally, you recognize me?"

"The Scorching Release user of Sunagakure!" Yamanaka Inoichi frowned and exclaimed, "So it really is you? What is your relationship with Lord Mugetsu? Why are you with him?"

Ye Cang opened her mouth, about to answer, when Wu Yue's voice suddenly rang out, saying, "I've already told you, she's my maid. Don't be so nervous. I guarantee with my integrity that she'll be safe."

Hearing this, Yamanaka Inoichi and the others lowered their guard. However, they still found it unbelievable that a hero from Sunagakure would willingly become someone else's maid. They doubted anyone would believe it.

"By the way, Senior Haiyi." Seeing that the group had completely calmed down, Wuyue asked again, "How did you all end up here? What happened?"

"Ah, it's like this..." Yamanaka Inoichi didn't hesitate much and directly told everyone in detail about his mission, plan, and the whole process of being discovered by Kirigakure.

Wuyue's brow twitched, and she asked the crucial question. "You mean, Rin and Kakashi were left there?" Could this be part of the original story? Is tragedy about to unfold?

“Although I know it’s not good to say this, but… they’re probably already…” At this point, Yamanaka Inoichi fell silent again.

"Hmm, I'll go take a look. Seniors, you should return as planned." Muyue finally made this decision. "Ye Cang, let's go."

It wasn't that he had a deep friendship with Kakashi and Rin; it was just that the little girl had stayed by his side and protected him while he was unconscious, and he couldn't just leave her there.

……

……

Misty Village, Water Shadow Building.

Nohara Rin lay on the office desk with her eyes closed, her cheeks and arms bearing noticeable bruises. Her body twitched slightly from time to time, clearly indicating that she had just suffered cruel punishment.

A man shrouded in black robes, his face obscured, leaned back on the sofa and said with a playful tone, "The incantation has been completed. Let her out in a bit."

Opposite him, a humanoid creature, half-black and half-white, remarkably similar in appearance to a pitcher plant, pursed its lips and smiled, saying, "Is it time to begin that plan? What about Obito's side..."

“Don’t worry about that.” The man in black robes raised his head, a flash of crimson light appearing in his eyes. “My true self will guide him well; he just needs to proceed according to the original plan.”

"Is that so?" the pitcher plant said in a hoarse voice. "I've gathered intelligence that the brat has arrived on the battlefield as well."

"The Celestial Dragon of Konoha?" The man in black robes pondered for a moment, then said, "We don't need to worry about him for now. His appearance shouldn't hinder our plan. However... we might have to abandon our base in Kirigakure."

"Are we just going to abandon this base?" The pig-grass creature sounded somewhat surprised. "We expended a lot of effort to control the Water Shadow back then."

“No one here can stop him,” the man in black robes explained directly. “If he discovers our intentions and identities, it will be very troublesome. But before we leave, I still want to prepare a big gift for him. This puppet will come in handy.” He glanced to his right.

There stood a baby-faced boy. His expression was extremely dull and wooden, like a puppet being manipulated, with no light in his eyes.

However, the moment the crimson light flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, the baby-faced boy's dull gaze suddenly cleared, making him appear no different from a normal person. He walked straight to the corner, picked up his weapon, and as if he hadn't seen anyone else in the office, turned and left the room.

225 Snatching people from the clutches of death

call.

In a corner of the forest not far from Kirigakure, Kakashi leaned against the back of a towering tree, taking a deep breath. Then, he secretly glanced to the side.

Several Hidden Mist ninjas were conducting a thorough search, and their target was Kakashi himself.

"There aren't any here!"

"Not here either!"

"Damn it, where did that brat go?"

"Hmph! That guy's injured, he shouldn't have gotten very far... Hmm? There seems to be some movement over there!"

"Quick, chase after them!"

Watching them disappear completely, Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief and fled in the opposite direction.

The Flying Thunder God kunai that Minato-sensei gave him finally came in handy. Although using it to lure the enemy was a bit underhanded, he really had no other choice. The other kunai in his ninja tool pouch were too light to make much noise.

Having shaken off this small group of enemy ninjas, Kakashi quickly retreated towards the edge of the forest. He no longer had time to carefully study the map or determine his location. In short, he headed straight ahead in one direction.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Kakashi suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps in the distance. His heart sank. He quickly found cover to the side, crouched down, held his breath, and prepared himself for the chase.

"Catch her!"

"Don't let her get away!"

"Damn it! What are those guys in the Anbu doing? Why did they let this brat escape from the village?"

The footsteps grew closer, accompanied by a series of noisy shouts.

Escape the village?

Kakashi's eyes showed a hint of doubt as he curiously peeked out. "Rin?!" At that moment, he was truly both surprised and delighted. Ignoring the possibility of being exposed, he immediately called out, "Come here! Over here!"

"Kakashi-kun? You, how come..." Nohara Rin hadn't expected her companion to appear here. But she quickly seemed to realize something and said anxiously, "Don't worry about me, you should go!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Having already been provoked by Obito's actions, Kakashi was far from abandoning his comrades. He immediately grabbed her arm. "Come with me..."

~︴

Rin Nohara knew she couldn't be coy at this moment and let the other person pull her along, but she said very seriously, "Kakashi-kun, listen to me... I have the Three-Tails implanted in me by Kirigakure, and my heart has also been marked with a seal. If I escape back like this, it will definitely cause great harm to Konoha."

"What?" Kakashi's eyes widened instantly, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"There is no better way under these circumstances."

Nohara Rin seemed to have made up her mind, and smiled gently at Kakashi. "Kill me. But there's something I need to ask of you. Please give this to Muzuki-kun."

He removed the amulet from his neck and handed it to her. "In the very last moment. I hope my feelings have reached you." At that moment, the girl smiled radiantly. Even Kakashi, who had previously rejected her, felt a flicker of attraction.

……

……

"Damn it, it's not here either!"

On the other side, Mugetsu and Yekura appeared on the right side of the forest. At their feet lay the corpses of Kirigakure ninjas, their deaths extremely gruesome.

"Don't be so impatient." Ye Cang gently comforted the boy, seeing his furrowed brow. "If they are really still alive, they should be able to hide themselves very well."
