Naruto: From Konoha to One Piece

More than a month later.

Shin and his team had nothing noteworthy to say about their leading teacher. 

They also did not undergo any assessments like the traditional bell test—Konoha could not wait to throw all the ninjas who met the conditions into the frontline as qualified cannon fodder.

After a brief introduction, Shin followed the Chunin teacher in performing tasks together.

Fortunately, his treatment was good. After all, he was a trainee medical ninja. Even though he could only perform one hemostatic technique, it was precious to such a cannon-fodder ninja team. Thus, he was still in a protected position within the squad.

Not only that but after Shin provided his leader with salves that were regarded as precious healing items, the Chunin also handed over his three C-rank earth-release ninjutsu to Shin. The Earth Clone Technique, Earth Release: Hiding Like a Mole Technique, and adding an Earth Release: Earth Flow Barrier. These three ninjutsu are primarily defensive, evasive, or deceptive.

It was no wonder this Chunin had survived the cruel war until now. For this, Shin certainly gave him a thumbs-up in his heart and hoped he would continue to maintain this attitude on the frontlines.

Shin possesses three chakra attributes: yang, water, and earth, enabling him to learn all these earth escape techniques. Although all the ninja students were essentially cannon fodder, it was evident that Konoha had paid little attention when dividing the class, as all the ninjas with similar attributes were grouped.

However, in over a month, Shin had only just learned the most straightforward earth clone technique, and this was due to his foundation in the Clone Technique. There was also the fact that he had used a large number of chakra ration pills during training; otherwise, even for a simple Earth Clone Technique, he might have needed several months.

Many people have seen it in the original works. Like Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto's training methods, they believed that ninjutsu practice required only hard work. Still, in reality, each ninja's chakra volume indeed restricted ninjutsu practice.

Especially for a young ninja like him, with his chakra volume, his chakra would be completely exhausted after practicing the earth clone five or six times. Without the military ration pills, his chakra would take an hour to recover fully. He could then train five or six times again, but to prevent serious injury from over-drafting, the number of times he exhausted his chakra should not exceed three. Thus, he could only train a dozen times a day.

This training method's efficiency was naturally limited. Aside from having a good foundation and a large chakra reserve, the best way to improve efficiency was to invest in military ration pills. Relying on this method, Shin increased his efficiency several times and learned to clone himself.

During this time, the three young ninjas completed the task of seeing blood and took down a few robber dens. In the ninja world, bandits and robbers grew like mushrooms after the rain due to the ongoing war. Therefore, after graduating from the academy, ninja students were typically required to sweep the bandits of the Fire Country.

After killing, Shin did not experience the nausea and vomiting mentioned in those novels, nor did he possess an antisocial personality that enjoyed the sight of blood and loved killing. 

If he were to describe his feelings, they would probably be akin to completing a mission in a normal manner. Perhaps the transmigration also caused him to not have much real connection with others in the ninja world, leading to his lack of emotional response.

The Chunin who led the team was quite optimistic about his mentality, which was much stronger than that of his two blushing, newbie companions.

Time passed quickly. Finally, on this day, Shin and his team received notice to report to the front lines. 

"The day has finally arrived." Sighing softly, Shin slowly packed his equipment and purchased two highly-priced seal scrolls. One scroll was filled with supplies, while the other was stocked with various weapons. These two scrolls cost him a considerable amount of money.

In addition, he also exchanged some gold. After traveling to a strange world, the banknotes in his possession would have become worthless, and gold, as hard currency, could be circulated anywhere.

"Well, it's best not to travel through Konoha. After all, if I go back and forth in the same place, I might find myself surrounded by Konoha ninjas as soon as I return."

Shin secretly contemplated this and decided to traverse directly through Konoha. The chakra system in the Naruto world remained relatively strong, and Shin would undoubtedly return in the future, though it would take several years.

He did not believe that when he returned to Konoha in a few years, the village would turn a blind eye to him. The most likely scenario was being treated as a traitor when he returned. After all, he had no intention of explaining to Konoha's ninjas how he could traverse worlds, nor did he want to experience the torture department's mind ninjutsu from the Yamanaka clan.

Traveling outside would not present such issues. After all, there were so many people in Konoha Ninja Village that a few missing individuals would not raise any concerns. Moreover, not everyone was like Uchiha Sasuke, burdened with many expectations.

In fact, even if one had no critical information on them, even if they defected, Shinobi Village would be too numb to send people to hunt them down. As long as one did not openly betray and protected their forehead protector, they could freely move in front of Konoha ninjas. As long as they did not engage in civilian massacres or robberies, Shinobi Village would simply not care about them.

Of course, surveillance may be stricter in wartime to prevent large-scale desertions. However, no matter how stringent the monitoring was, they couldn't detect Shin, who had traveled to other worlds.

In the next day's early morning, Shin's team walked out of Konoha's gate under the sunlight. Soon after, the 10-year-old ninja disappeared inexplicably.

There was no trace of battle or signs of escape in the location where he vanished. After a few hours of searching, the Chunin who led the team abandoned the search, as it was almost time to report to the camp. The situation could only be reported to the senior officials at the Konoha camp.

Naturally, no one paid attention to a Genin who had just graduated from the academy during this period. He was simply added to the missing list.

After several months without any trace of Shin being found, his disappearance was officially classified as a suspected death. A year later, he was declared deceased.

In this manner, the entire ninja world seemed to have forgotten about this transmigrator who possessed little sense of existence.
