"Since we've encountered a suspicious person, we can't just let it slide!"
Tsunade said without hesitation.
By blood, she was a ninja who was half Uzumaki.
Therefore, she took it upon herself before Kushina even had to speak.
"Just to be safe, we'll split into two groups."
Orochimaru thought for a mont and said, "Tsunade, go monitor him and prevent him from escaping. I'll ask Ryoichi about his background."
"What about us?"
Nawaki imdiately asked.
"He's a Jonin. It's not suitable for you to get involved. Just wait for us in the cabin."
Orochimaru shook his head and said.
"A Jonin with unknown intel is extrely dangerous. Even with both of us there, we might not be able to protect you."
Tsunade agreed.
"Alright then."
Although Nawaki had a brash personality, he still listened to Orochimaru and Tsunade.
Natsuki actually wanted to go and join the excitent too.
However, having lived two lives, he was well aware of the principle of safety first.
Besides, he had more important things to deal with.
Just now, a line of text had appeared before his eyes.
[You have awakened the Smoker Template.]
Clearly, this was related to him killing those wandering ninja at sea who were essentially pirates.
Because Smoker was a character from One Piece and was a Marine.
Marines and pirates were opposing forces in One Piece, born as natural enemies.
After Orochimaru and Tsunade left, Natsuki looked at his newly acquired character template.
[Na: Smoker.]
[Period: Captain.]
[World: One Piece.]
[Rank: B-rank.]
[Ability One: Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit, Unlocked.]
[Effect: The body turns into smoke, granting immunity to physical attacks and removing the fear of seawater.]
[Ability Two: White Out, Locked.]
[Effect: After turning the arms into smoke, expand the range of the smoke to envelop the opponent, then thicken the smoke to trap the target.]
[Unlock Condition: Learn Water Release: Hiding in Mist Technique.]
[Ability Three: White Blow, Locked.]
[Effect: Shoot dense smoke from the arms to strike the opponent. Upon hitting, it can trap the target like White Out.]
[Unlock Condition: Learn a control-type Ninjutsu.]
[Ability Four: White Snake, Locked.]
[Effect: Shoot snake-like dense smoke from the arms to pursue the opponent until it hits and captures them.]
[Unlock Condition: Capture a Water Release Tokubetsu Jonin within mist.]
[Ability Five: White Vine, Locked.]
[Effect: Transform the body into a spiral-shaped pillar of smoke to trap enemies or capture aerial targets.]
[Unlock Condition: Develop a new ability for the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit.]
Natsuki could not help but breathe a sigh of relief after reading through it.
He had previously thought that after obtaining the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit, he would also inherit its weakness to seawater, which would have been a net loss for him.
Especially since this was the world of Naruto, which had vast oceans and many Water Release ninja.
If he were at sea in the future and encountered a Water Release ninja, he would be at an absolute disadvantage.
Fortunately, the system had removed this weakness.
Ability One: Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit.
Its effect was simple. The body could transform into smoke at any ti.
Since it was smoke, it was naturally immune to physical attacks.
Physical attacks mostly consisted of ninja tools and Taijutsu, which were frequently used by ninja in battle.
Other Ninjutsu, such as Genjutsu, Fire Release, Lightning Release, and Wind Release, would still be effective.
But being immune to ninja tools and Taijutsu was already enough to give Natsuki a significant advantage in combat.
The remaining four abilities were all based on the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit.
Abilities Two, Three, and Four were similar. The first involved the arms becoming mist, while the latter two involved the arms shooting out smoke.
The effect of all three abilities was to trap the target with smoke.
The unlock condition for Ability Two was to learn Hiding in Mist Technique.
Natsuki's first thought was that he could perfectly use Hiding in Mist Technique as an excuse to use his Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit.
As for the four abilities, they could also be described as Ninjutsu modified from Hiding in Mist Technique.
Although Hiding in Mist Technique belonged to the ninja of Kirigakure, it was quite normal for different ninja villages to learn each other's Ninjutsu.
After all, if Konoha captured a Kirigakure ninja, they would certainly subject them to torture and interrogation.
Besides obtaining intelligence, they would also acquire Kirigakure's Ninjutsu.
Hiding in Mist Technique was practically a mandatory Ninjutsu in Kirigakure. It would not be hard to get hold of it.
The unlock condition for Ability Three was not difficult either.
Control-type Ninjutsu included Genjutsu, so he just needed to learn one Genjutsu.
The unlock condition for Ability Four was relatively more troubleso.
It required capturing a Water Release Tokubetsu Jonin within mist.
As everyone knew, the difficulty of capturing soone alive was twice that of defeating or killing them.
However, this unlock condition could also conveniently unlock Ability Three of the Kamado Tanjiro Template.
After defeating the pirate leader today, he only needed to defeat one more Tokubetsu Jonin proficient in Water Release or swordsmanship to unlock it.
As for Ability Five, the unlock condition seed difficult, but in reality, it was not that hard.
Because Natsuki had a reference point.
In One Piece, Smoker later developed a new use for the Logia-type Smoke-Smoke Fruit called White Launcher.
Its effect was to turn the body into smoke and use the explosive recoil generated by spraying smoke to perform high-speed movent and flight.
To be honest, in Natsuki's view, White Launcher was the most useful one.
After all, being able to fly was a massive advantage.
All Ninjutsu had a range.
As long as one flew high enough, they could ignore most Ninjutsu because the attacks simply could not reach.
This could be seen from the battle in the original work where Deidara captured Gaara.
Except for Gaara, Sunagakure had no way of dealing with Deidara. Their Ninjutsu could not even hit him.
This also proved one thing. If one ability could be developed, countless others could be developed as well.
anwhile, Orochimaru found Ryoichi and described the suspicious person's appearance.
"You're talking about Junpei."
Ryoichi recognized him after hearing Orochimaru's description.
"What's his background?"
Orochimaru nodded and asked.
"He doesn't have much of a background. He's just a crew mber I recruited in the Land of Whirlpools."
Ryoichi replied.
Orochimaru looked thoughtful.
The probability that Junpei was a spy ninja increased by a few more points.
"Is your ship's destination the Land of Fire?"
Orochimaru pondered for a mont and then asked.
"No."
Ryoichi explained, "We set off from the Land of Whirlpools, passed through the Land of Fire, and our final destination is the Land of Water."
"I see. Thank you."
After hearing this, Orochimaru imdiately went to find Tsunade.
"It seems he's most likely a ninja from Kirigakure."
Tsunade said, narrowing her eyes slightly.
"Just capture him directly."
Orochimaru said indifferently.
Naturally, they would not take a re Kirigakure ninja seriously.
Moreover, the overt and covert struggles between the Five Great Villages had always existed, with ninja dying from ti to ti.
Furthermore, Junpei was a spy ninja who was never ant to see the light of day anyway.
