Naruto: My setting is above yours

Chapter 2 Modification Settings

"I can only modify four basic ninjutsu settings right now. If I can only choose one to modify, I'll exclude the Shadow Clone Jutsu first."

"And then there's the transformation technique..."

Xuanma is the first to be eliminated.

Finally, he hesitated between the Substitution Jutsu and the Body Flicker Jutsu.

The reason for his hesitation was that Genma thought of Sasuke Uchiha's Rinnegan skill, Amenotejikara.

This bloodline limit ninjutsu belongs to the space-time ninjutsu category, but Genma feels it can also be considered a high-level substitution jutsu.

Could the basic Substitute Technique be modified to something like Amenotejikara, which allows for instantaneous object replacement across time and space?

This is a very tempting idea.

As for the Body Flicker Technique, Genma mastered a basic version that uses chakra to activate his own cells and then unleash power to move his body quickly.

The most obvious modification would be a teleportation technique similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique, which allows for instantaneous time-space travel.

But can such a huge leap be accomplished?

If I try downshifting, how should I modify the settings?

"alright!"

Kakashi's voice interrupted Genma's thoughts, and the aroma of grilled fish wafted in.

"As expected of Kakashi!"

Genma reached out and took the grilled fish, blew on it, and took a bite, instantly feeling incredibly satisfied: "Mmm, if you had graduated early, I wouldn't have had such an easy time enjoying such good grilled fish."

After a morning of training, I was indeed very hungry.

Kakashi glanced at the guy: "You don't need to say that."

Genma shrugged: "Words spoken are like water spilled on the ground."

"So, what are your training plans for the future?"

Kakashi said while eating, "It should be a nature change."

Genma, watching Kakashi eat, couldn't help but complain, "Hey, can't you take your mask off?"

Kakashi ignored that question and instead asked, "What are your plans?"

Genma quickly devoured one fish, picked up the second one, and said, "Like you, I train in nature transformation. Hmm... I'll start with Yang Release, which is medical ninjutsu, and it'll be a good opportunity to further improve my chakra control."

"And you? Earth Release or Lightning Release?"

Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "Earth Release, Lightning Release is relatively more difficult."

"First, master Earth Escape Technique for defense."

Genma gave a thumbs up, then fell silent and buried his head in his rice.

Seeing this, Kakashi sped up, and the two quickly finished off all the grilled fish, then lay down on the grass to digest.

Genma closed his eyes, focusing his attention back on the [Settings], and made his final decision.

Substitution Technique!

Saving your life is the most important thing!

As he made his decision, the settings for the Substitute Technique were cleared, and a new setting was then entered: use any substance within a certain range as a substitute, instantly swapping positions with oneself across time and space to avoid attacks.

Edits complete. Click OK.

The next moment, the setting list was refreshed.

Xuanma's mind immediately jolted: It's a success!

Is that all?

It really worked!

Xuanma suddenly opened his eyes and stood up with a somersault.

Kakashi glanced at it, then continued resting.

Genma suppressed his excitement and carefully sensed the mysterious flow of information that had surged into his mind after the setting update.

"Kakashi, I'm going to exercise first."

After exchanging greetings, Xuanma leaped away and disappeared, disappearing into a nearby grove of trees in a few bounds.

He stopped, glanced around, took a deep breath, and then raised his right hand.

This is not a hand seal for the Substitution Jutsu, but rather a way to concentrate energy on outputting chakra, similar to the effect of clasping hands together.

The next moment, a black horse silently appeared under a tree 3 meters away.

Bang!

The Xuanma, which was originally in place, suddenly exploded and fell to the ground as a withered tree branch.

It really is the Substitution Jutsu, not the Amenotejikara!

Genma stood under the tree, savoring the moment.

He had just swapped positions with the withered branch under the tree, and the withered branch had been transformed into his likeness using a transformation spell. If any enemy attacks, they will attack the person the branch has become.

This is different from the simple position swap of Amaterasu.

"However, this distance..."

Xuanma feels a bit short, making it difficult to avoid wide-range, all-encompassing attacks.

This is clearly incomparable to Sasuke Uchiha's Amenotejikara.

However, as the body develops and grows, the maximum output power of chakra will definitely increase, so the position swap distance can definitely continue to increase.

Whether he can improve to a level comparable to Amaterasu depends on his future growth.

"Although it can't compare to Amaterasu, if used well, it can definitely be a trump card."

Xuanma smiled broadly, his sense of security suddenly soaring.

Heaven have mercy.

Since arriving in the Naruto world, he has been living in constant fear. So he started training at the age of three, enrolled in school at the age of five, and was in the same class as Kakashi and the others. It has been almost a year now, and he has barely managed to earn the title of genius, just like Kakashi.

But putting aside the "setting book" aspect, Genma is very clear about his limits.

An ordinary movie is the best it can get.

Even with God's perspective and access to a wealth of information, breaking this limit would be extremely difficult.

Shadow is certainly very strong, but in the later stages, he's just a minor character, like someone who's only there for show.

But now.

Xuanma wanted to know whether the Naruto bloodline was more powerful, or his character design was stronger!

……

At 5 p.m., Genma and Kakashi parted ways and went home.

After dinner, Genma didn't stay home alone, but went to Konoha Hospital with his mother for his shift.

"Genma, isn't it too fast to start learning medical ninjutsu now?"

When her son asked to learn medical ninjutsu, Ritsuka hesitated: "Medical ninjutsu is very difficult, you know. It might be too hard for you right now."

As a mother, Ritsuka didn't want her son to suffer so much at such a young age, even though as a ninja she knew very well that hard training was absolutely not wrong.

"Mom, don't worry, I'm all ready."

"As you know, I have already studied a lot of medical knowledge in advance."

Genma chuckled and said, "Besides, I inherited your beauty and wisdom, Mother, so my talent in medical ninjutsu is definitely not bad."

Ritsuka's eyes crinkled with laughter upon hearing this, and she ruffled her son's black hair: "Alright, then when I'm not busy tonight, Mom will teach you the training of Yang Release nature transformation."

What is most important in the Naruto world?

Bloodlines are the most important.

For example, the thousand hands, the whirlpool, conjunctivitis, and cataracts.

Of course, for ordinary ninjas, Genma believes the main aspects are as follows.

The most basic step is chakra extraction.

Aside from sealing techniques, the fact that chakra cannot be stored in the human body for a long time means that to become a qualified ninja, one must make chakra extraction as natural as breathing.

After all, you can't exactly refine your chakra before engaging in battle, can you?

Xuanma accomplished this at the age of 4.

With this foundation, the next step is chakra control.

Taijutsu, ninjutsu, genjutsu—any technique involving the use of chakra requires chakra control as a fundamental skill.

With sufficient chakra control, a ninja can walk on cliffs and on water as if it were flat ground.

Tsunade's monstrous strength is due to her precise control over chakra, which allows her to possess terrifying strength surpassing that of the Fourth Raikage.

Genma, who was familiar with most of the Naruto storyline, naturally attached great importance to this aspect.

However, the only conventional methods he knew for training chakra control were climbing trees and wading through water.

He had already completed his training last year. After that, climbing cliffs with stones and running wildly on the turbulent river with stones in his hands were just upgraded versions of his training in climbing trees and wading through water.

The improvement has become less noticeable over the past year.

Therefore, Genma has now set his sights on medical ninjutsu.

Among all types of ninjutsu, this one demands the highest level of chakra control.

Learning medical ninjutsu can naturally serve as a means of training chakra control.
