"Cool! superpowers just like Madden!"
Barry got off the treadmill and patted Qingshui on the shoulder.
Madden, the Weather Wizard, possessed the ability to manipulate weather, generating tornadoes, hail, acid rain, and lightning.
However, Madden was vulnerable to the Weather Wand, whereas Qingshui's ability to control wind would, at most, be slightly weakened.
The wind, lightning, water, fire, and earth formed by Chakra were different from their true counterparts in nature; Chakra merely manifested in forms resembling these five types of energy and matter.
A prime example was how the Otsutsuki Clan could absorb Water Release Ninjutsu created from Chakra, but not Water Release Ninjutsu that utilized natural flowing water.
"Thanks, Barry, Cisco, and everyone else."
Qingshui smiled broadly, expressing his gratitude.
…
…
In the Naruto World.
At the campsite.
Qingshui's main body and his team had just returned from completing a B-rank mission.
Given the team's composition, they were likely capable enough for A-rank missions, but they opted for B-rank for stability.
While Baki was delivering the mission target's head for handover, Qingshui quietly opened his system panel.
By now, the panel had changed significantly from before.
His Fortune value had increased slightly again over the past few days, reaching 50.33%.
Based on past experience, with the territory recently acquired by his Avatar in the DC Universe, it should climb a few more percentage points over the next month or two as the newly occupied territories are assimilated.
His personal attributes also showed considerable changes from before.
[Name: Qingshui]
[Age: Twelve]
[Occupation: Ninja (Main), Puppet Master]
[Occupational Attributes: Nin: 7, Tai: 5, Gen: 5, Wis: 7, Str: 5, Spd: 6, Sta: 6, Hand Seals: 7]
[Lightning Release Ninjutsu: LV1, Wind Release Ninjutsu: LV2, Puppetry: LV3]
The total value of his Eight Ninja Stats was 48. This figure was certainly far from the average for a Jonin, but it was only one point less than Temari, who had the lowest recorded stats among Jonin in the original work.
During the Fourth Great Ninja War, Temari, who had already been promoted to Jonin, had a total stat value of only forty-nine…
Of course, a ninja's combat strength couldn't be measured purely by numbers. Temari had her Three-Star Fan, which greatly amplified her Wind Release abilities, and Qingshui had his Puppets. When equipped with Big Ivan, many of his stats would also increase by several points.
However, Qingshui believed that soon, these numbers would undergo a significant change again.
Shared Ability—this was a skill Qingshui had never used since activating the panel, as it cost Fortune, and the price was steep.
But this time, Qingshui felt it was essential to synchronize the superpowers of his DC Universe Avatar.
Clicking on the Avatar's sub-panel, two new entries appeared prominently.
[Ability: Airflow Manipulation]
[Ability: Lightning Energy Affinity]
"Alright, here's the reward for this mission."
Baki came over with the mission reward to distribute it. Qingshui responded half-heartedly. After the distribution was complete, he first went to the logistics department to exchange for a few Military Ration Pills and some high-calorie food, then returned to his tent.
This was preparation for the large amount of energy and nutrients he would need to consume after synchronizing the abilities.
[Do you wish to spend 35% of current Fortune to synchronize ability: Airflow Manipulation?]
[Do you wish to spend 15% of current Fortune to synchronize ability: Lightning Energy Affinity?]
Fortunately, he had just enough Fortune.
[Confirm!]
[Current Fortune: 0.33%]
Suddenly, the sensation his DC Universe Avatar had experienced resurfaced in Qingshui's body.
Dizziness, lightheadedness, bodily weakness, trembling hands and feet!
These were all symptoms of low blood sugar.
Qingshui quickly swallowed a Military Ration Pill.
However, the usual feeling of fullness that one pill provided was absent this time.
The energy bars Caitlin made were actually a form of black technology, though not as extreme as some others.
One bar contained enough calories for four days for a normal adult male, whereas standard Military Ration Pills in the Naruto World typically only lasted for one meal. Even the Nara Clan's specialized Military Ration Pills were only about twice as effective.
Despite people in the Naruto World being different from those in other worlds, his main body was also from the Naruto World, so the number of cells that needed modification was naturally different.
Qingshui swallowed a few more Military Ration Pills—the taste of these things was truly unpleasant, and their nutritional content was singular, leading to malnutrition if consumed long-term.
Qingshui then tore open the packaging of the other food items.
During wartime, it was difficult to eat well, let alone during the Second Great Ninja War, when things like potato chips and chocolate were considered luxuries.
Most of what Qingshui ate were various canned meats, along with some canned vegetables to cut through the richness.
"Burp~"
A backpack full of food was completely devoured. Even the few remaining Military Ration Pills were mixed into the cans and swallowed by Qingshui before he finally felt full.
"The changes to my body are pretty much complete. I just wonder how powerful my Wind Release and Lightning Release are now without using puppets, and how much I can compress the wind in an aerodynamic device."
Qingshui stood up, stretched, and his joints cracked.
With a flick of his hand, a breeze automatically pulled back the tent flap.
After registering with the camp guards, Qingshui went to the plain where he had previously sparred with Fukami Senran and began his experiments.
First, Lightning Release.
Boar—Ram—Snake!
"Lightning Release: Ground Run!"
Qingshui extended his left hand, attempting to perform the Ninjutsu with single-handed seals for the first time.
Thin, long streaks of lightning pulsed from Qingshui's left hand, spreading across the ground in front of him.
"It's very smooth. The power has increased by at least 30% compared to before, and I feel like I might be able to perform this jutsu without forming all three seals, but I'll need to research some related information."
Qingshui raised an eyebrow, delighted.
Originally, the Ninjutsu taught by the Sage of Six Paths didn't involve hand seals. It wasn't until Indra began learning Ninjutsu that he invented twelve hand seals for convenience, to help the body manipulate Chakra.
Theoretically, if one's control over Chakra is high enough and they are familiar enough with the Ninjutsu, they can perform the jutsu by forming only one seal with both hands.
This is the so-called "clap your hands and whatever you say appears."
Qingshui's control over Lightning Release Chakra was already up to par; it was just his understanding of Lightning Release that was still somewhat lacking.
"And this!"
Qingshui pulled out a Ninjutsu scroll from his ninja tool pouch.
This was a Ninjutsu he had gotten from Fukami Senran earlier: Lightning Release: Lightning Strike.
Compared to Ground Run, which is used for close-quarters combat to paralyze enemies, Lightning Release: Lightning Strike is more suitable for mid-range combat. It can condense Chakra to strike enemies in a straight line, and the closer the distance, the greater the power.
