Simple daily moments… yet full of happiness.
Lu Mingfei had also come running over.
Even though he wasn't particularly strong, he had his own goal for coming to the Naruto world—
To learn the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
And his reason?
To send a clone to school in his place, while he went off to enjoy life!
He could also use clones to deal with his aunt and uncle.
Not to mention, with Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu, he could use the sheer number of clones to accelerate his training.
That was exactly why Lu Mingfei had come.
He was too weak—he needed a fast way to grow stronger.
And in the Naruto world, Shadow Clone Jutsu and Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu were perfect choices.
Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu was one of Naruto Uzumaki's signature techniques.
With his insane chakra reserves, Naruto could summon hundreds or even thousands of clones without breaking a sweat.
But not everyone was Naruto.
Not everyone had chakra reserves in the tons.
Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu was a forbidden technique.
It burned through chakra like crazy and could exhaust a person to death.
At Ichiraku Ramen…
Ren Asakura watched Lu Mingfei devour bowl after bowl.
"...How many bowls is that now?" Ren sighed. "Are you trying to bankrupt me?"
Mouth full of ramen, Lu Mingfei mumbled, "I didn't make it last time… This time, I have to eat my money's worth!"
Ren shook his head. This kid's a lost cause.
"...Wait, do you even have chakra? How are you gonna learn Shadow Clone Jutsu?"
Lu Mingfei forced his mouthful of food down.
"Don't worry—I'm a cultivator now!" He grinned. "I reached Qi Refining Stage 3! My talent's not great, but I spent 200 points in the Group Shop to buy an Energy Converter! It lets me convert different types of energy! I can turn my spiritual energy into chakra, so I can learn techniques from different worlds! I can even convert it into mana to learn magic!"
He proudly held up his wrist, showing off a watch-like device.
It didn't look particularly impressive…
But the Energy Converter was actually an incredible artifact.
It allowed people from different cultivation systems to learn techniques from other worlds.
However—
At the peak of all power systems… there was only one destination:
The Grand Dao of Heaven and Earth.
The Energy Converter was useful while weak…
But once someone reached the absolute pinnacle, they wouldn't need it anymore.
When that day came, they could freely control their own energy and master all techniques.
"By the way," Lu Mingfei continued, "last time, Group Leader—you suggested I train with Qi Refining Technique, right?"
Ren nodded.
"So I checked the Group Shop—turns out, a Qi Refining manual only costs 100 points! It'll let me cultivate all the way to the Foundation Establishment Realm! Once I get there, I can unlock my meridians, fly with my sword, and use real magic! Right now, I can barely manage a small fireball…"
The cultivation system was massive—
With countless professions and paths to choose from.
Body Cultivators
Sword Cultivators
Martial Cultivators
Spell Cultivators
Formation Masters
Alchemy Masters
Artifact Forgers…
There were so many choices—but Lu Mingfei hadn't picked his path yet.
After all, he was only at Qi Refining Stage 3.
He still had a long journey ahead.
Ever since joining the Chat Group, Lu Mingfei had spent most of his time:
1. Training Breathing Techniques under Yoriichi Tsugikuni.
2. Buying spiritual stones to cultivate his immortal path.
—
Meanwhile, the Fourth Hokage was busy.
His child was about to be born—he had no time to train Lu Mingfei.
Ren?
Ren could instantly master any jutsu he wanted—but he had zero interest in such small tricks.
So—
He dumped Lu Mingfei onto Orochimaru.
Orochimaru immediately sensed the hidden energy within Lu Mingfei.
A monster.
And Orochimaru loved studying monsters.
Without hesitation—
Orochimaru dragged Lu Mingfei away.
Lu Mingfei's eyes filled with despair.
Orochimaru's eyes burned with mad scientist excitement.
Ren patted Lu Mingfei's shoulder, offering a half-hearted consolation:
"Don't worry, Mingfei… Orochimaru will definitely train you properly."
"If you wanna learn something… just ask him!"
With that, Lu Mingfei vanished into the Root base.
Orochimaru was one of the Three Legendary Sannin—a Kage-level powerhouse.
Lu Mingfei has no way he could compete with Orochimaru.
Qi Refining Stage 3? Too weak.
His little Fireball Technique couldn't even compare to a Genin's Great Fireball Jutsu.
—
Ren Asakura sighed, feeling like a truly responsible Chat Group Leader.
Orochimaru and a modern-day human like Lu Mingfei?
They were bound to have plenty to talk about.
And as time passed… Lu Mingfei would awaken his Hybrid Bloodline.
Orochimaru?
He definitely had an interest in dragons.
… A Few Days Later …
Lu Mingfei ran away.
And he kept muttering that he was "unclean".
No one knew exactly what Orochimaru did to him—
But it was certain that Lu Mingfei had been a part of various experiments.
Being stripped naked was the least of his concerns.
His eyes before leaving?
Deep sorrow.
But—on the bright side—
Lu Mingfei did manage to learn Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!
And on top of that—
His cultivation energy actually gave Orochimaru new ideas for developing Senjutsu.
Cultivators refined spiritual energy—which was, at its core, a form of nature energy.
And Senjutsu Chakra in the Naruto world?
It followed a similar principle.
For the past few days, Orochimaru had been locked away in his lab, utterly obsessed.
Whenever Ren dropped by, Orochimaru looked even more deranged—
Bloodshot eyes, staring at endless data sheets…
And constantly drawing blood from Lu Mingfei.
Lu Mingfei's blood?
It wasn't normal.
It had an intense infectious property—
It could corrupt and mutate other blood samples.
If concentrated enough?
It could completely transform a person.
Orochimaru?
He hadn't slept in days.
His appearance had become a mess.
At this point, he looked like a full-blown mad scientist.
Fortunately, the Root Organization had its own system of operations.
Even without a leader, everything still functioned as usual.
Ren Asakura had zero interest in these experiments.
He continued wandering around Konoha—
Eating, drinking, and having fun.
That was when he ran into a certain someone.
A boy in a green jumpsuit, shouting his lungs out—
The future Might Guy, the man who nearly kicked the final boss out of existence.
But at this moment?
He was still just a nobody.
A dead last.
In the Naruto world, never underestimate a "dead last."
Because they usually turned out to be monsters.
Obito Uchiha: A dead last—but he ended up starting the Fourth Great Ninja War. He even became the second person in history to attain the power of the Sage of Six Paths.
Naruto Uzumaki: A dead last, the class clown, and nearly failed his Genin exam. But he beat every major villain—Madara, Obito, Kaguya, and even Sasuke.
Might Duy (Might Guy's father): A "forever Genin", who knew no ninjutsu or genjutsu. But with pure Taijutsu and Eight Gates, he killed four members of the legendary Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist. The remaining three were so terrified… they literally pissed themselves.
So yeah—never underestimate a dead last.
Right now, Might Guy was full of youthful energy—
Shouting out loud as he ran:
"THIS IS YOUTH!!!"
"LET'S GO! 100 LAPS AROUND KONOHA!"
