In the dimly lit underground room.
As he unfurled scroll after scroll, the various techniques recorded within them, each with either formidable power or ingenious design, were revealed to him.
Whenever he encountered a technique with a novel way of using chakra, it always made his eyes light up.
Each one brought him unique inspiration and a new understanding of chakra usage.
As he read more and more scrolls, he couldn't help but marvel at the incredible energy of chakra, which the Ōtsutsuki Clan brought into the Ninja World. It truly seemed to have no limits, with its usage methods being endlessly varied.
For example, the secret technique 'Shadow Concealment Secret Technique' in his hand. According to its description, the user can hide within shadows and silently assassinate or ambush a target without a trace.
When entering the shadows, it is almost completely silent, and it is very difficult to prepare a defense before the attack is launched.
Using this technique, gathering intelligence and collecting information is also incredibly easy.
However, the technique has a significant drawback: the movement speed after casting it is extremely slow. If the user hides within the shadow of a person or animal, any movement by the target can easily expose them.
Additionally, hiding within the shadow of a ninja is very likely to be detected. However, this technique can be used silently at night or when hiding within the shadows of objects.
It truly is a must-have for travel, home use, and all kinds of nefarious activities.
There was also the 'Water Release Instant Body Secret Technique' he had just seen, which provided him with many new ideas for using chakra.
Before casting the technique, the user first uses their own chakra to create a large 'Field' of water.
Within this chakra-infused water, the speed of this instantaneous movement technique is incredibly fast, similar to the techniques used by 'Haku' or 'Kimimaro' in the original story.
The main form of this technique is high-speed instantaneous movement within the large 'Field' created by the user's chakra. It allows the user to silently approach an enemy from behind and deliver a fatal blow.
Or, using continuous high-speed instantaneous movements, the user can sequentially eliminate multiple enemies who enter their 'Field'. The killing effect is extremely powerful.
However, the drawback is also obvious: the chakra consumption is enormous, especially in areas without water.
Not every ordinary ninja can create a massive water sphere like Kisame Hoshigaki, using the 'Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu' to envelop an enemy.
For ordinary ninjas, if the target escapes the range of the water technique, they often end up losing a large amount of chakra, making it a costly move.
Truly, there is always a trade-off, which is why ninjas place such great importance on keeping their intelligence confidential.
There was also an S-rank fire technique, 'Fire Release: Flaming Dragon Enters the Sea Technique', which was extraordinary.
It overcame the common weakness of fire techniques being countered by water techniques. Using extreme chakra nature and form transformation, it creates a massive fire dragon, tens or even hundreds of meters long.
The dragon can be driven into an enemy's water technique or underwater. Using its terrifying impact, it can destroy the enemy's technique or maintain its form underwater.
The extreme heat of the dragon slowly spreads, creating a boiling 'hot spring' that forces hidden enemies out of the water. It also disperses chakra into the water, preventing the enemy from using water sources.
The requirements for chakra nature transformation, form transformation, and control are extremely strict.
Various other novel techniques left him dazzled and captivated.
These techniques fulfilled his fantasies about supernatural powers from his previous life as an ordinary person. Commanding wind and lightning, switching between water and fire at a thought, and instantly traveling thousands of miles.
[Hmm! Instantly traveling thousands of miles is a bit exaggerated! If I learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, maybe I could teleport a hundred miles or so!]
[I really want to copy all these techniques and take them home to study in detail!]
Whether it was the nature transformations, form transformations, or ingenious ideas of these techniques, they all broadened his horizons.
He believed that if he fully understood all of these, his mastery of chakra transformations, usage, and understanding would reach a new height.
In his view, all techniques, secret techniques, and even Kekkei Genkai were just different ways of using chakra.
Understanding the principles, the lofty Shadow-level ninja no longer seemed so unattainable.
[Unfortunately, there are no forbidden techniques like the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's Flying Thunder God Technique or Impure World Reincarnation Technique here!]
[I even had a slight hope before, remembering that Madara knew the Impure World Reincarnation Technique in the original story. If the family had a collection, it wouldn't be strange to have an additional copy of the Flying Thunder God Technique!]
[If only I didn't have to worry so much, I would have just chosen the Flying Thunder God Technique, tried it out, and seen if I could master it!]
With a regret that no one could detect, Fuyu Shirou finished reading all the scrolls and walked towards Fugaku, who was sitting on a stone platform with his back to him.
The purpose of reading all the scrolls was just to broaden his horizons and increase his inspiration for techniques and chakra usage.
After confirming that the secret room did not contain the Flying Thunder God Technique, he had already made his choice.
"Fugaku-senpai, I'm really sorry for keeping you waiting. I've already chosen my target!"
At that moment, Fugaku was sitting on a cushion in front of the stone platform, facing a large scroll with his eyes closed, seemingly dozing.
"Oh, you've already made your choice?" Hearing Fuyu Shirou's voice, Fugaku turned to look at him and asked.
"Which technique did you choose?"
He was somewhat curious about the final choice of this mature young man from the clan.
[Was it one of those powerful S-rank techniques?]
[Or one of those mysterious secret techniques?]
The former was too powerful for a young man of his age, requiring an enormous amount of chakra and high demands for nature and form transformations.
The latter required very strict talent, and not every ordinary ninja could master it.
As for sealing techniques, barriers, runes, cursed seals, and the like, he didn't consider them. At this age, young men were not interested in such things and often chose techniques they couldn't yet use.
He didn't know that the young man in front of him was quite interested in sealing, runes, and curses, but with limited opportunities, he could only choose the one most beneficial to him.
