Synthesis Ninja system

Inside the hospital room, Tsunade frowned as she continuously checked Rock Lee's injuries. The atmosphere was heavy, and the tension could be felt.

Outside the room, the tension was just as palpable.

Tenten, Ino Yamanaka, and Shizune were glaring at each other like sworn enemies.

Meanwhile, Hinata Hyuga, completely unaware of the situation, looked at the three of them with confusion.

"Shiro-kun, I've gotten really good at catching fish now. Can you help me grill some more? I still remember how good the last one tasted!"

To everyone's surprise, it was the usually shy and quiet Hinata who spoke first, catching Shiro off guard.

Upon seeing this, the other three girls couldn't sit still.

"Shiro! You're still not fully recovered. Let me use my healing jutsu to help you!"

"Shiro-kun, that BBQ restaurant from last time just released a new flavor. Should we go check it out?"

"Shiro-kun, the old ninja tool shop just got a limited edition set. Want to come with me to check it out?"

Shiro looked at the eager expressions of the four girls and felt half of his excitement drain away.

He had heard stories about love triangles, but he never expected to find himself in one!

No matter who he chose, the others would definitely be hurt. In an instant, Shiro felt completely at a loss.

At that moment, Tsunade and Might Guy walked out of the room.

Might Guy had an expectant look on his face, but Tsunade looked deeply troubled, her brow furrowed.

"Tsunade-sama, how is Lee?" Tenten rushed over, worried. After all, Tsunade was their last hope. If even she couldn't help, then Rock Lee would lose his chance to become a ninja.

"His condition is unique. His bones are crushed, and even his nerves are damaged! I can't say for sure. Whether or not to proceed with surgery is up to him."

Shiro's eyes lit up, and he quickly ran over, supporting Tsunade with both hands.

Tsunade looked at him in surprise and smiled. "What's with you suddenly attending to me like this, kid?"

Shiro was sweating profusely.

If it weren't for the chaos of the love triangle he just experienced, he wouldn't have been this eager to care for someone like Tsunade.

"Tsunade-sama, you've treated so many people today, you must be tired! Whether Lee agrees or not, you should go back and rest first."

Tsunade, though a bit oblivious at times, was certainly not dumb.

She quickly grasped the situation around her and understood what was going on.

As for Shiro's suggestion, Tsunade had no intention of refusing.

"You're right. Why don't you escort me home?"

Seeing Tsunade leaving, the other girls had no choice but to let her go. Even Shizune was left behind to care for the recovering patients.

Though Shiro had left, the competition between the girls did not end.

Once they stepped outside the hospital, Shiro finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Tsunade, however, hooked her arm around his neck and laughed mischievously.

"Hey, kid, you've got some charm, huh? Four girls chasing after you at once!"

Shiro snorted, "It's all because of you!"

Shiro had already planned to leave the Hidden Leaf Village, to travel around the ninja world and learn more jutsu!

He might even leave the ninja world entirely!

Getting involved with those girls would only complicate things too much. That's why he'd rather learn Naruto's Forbidden Technique than get into a relationship.

Thinking about Naruto's Forbidden Technique, Shiro couldn't help but get excited.

He had already mastered the Shadow Clone Jutsu and Naruto's Forbidden Technique, so it was time to try creating his own Harem Technique!

Plus, Shiro had some other ideas he wanted to experiment with.

With that in mind, Shiro quickly waved goodbye to Tsunade and ran home.

"This brat! After using me, he just runs off, huh?"

When Shiro arrived home, although he hadn't been there for days, his house was spotless.

It must have been Bingzu Leitong's doing.

Feeling grateful, Shiro couldn't help but smile.

Bingzu Leitong not only paid Shiro's rent but also took care of his meals and cleaned the house! Now that Shiro had money, it was time to return the favor.

Back in his room, Shiro sat on his bed.

While he was excited about the Harem Technique, he couldn't spend all his chances on it. With three tries, he could only allocate one to the Harem Technique, or even delay it for later.

Right now, although Shiro had mastered powerful single-target jutsu like Rasengan and Chidori, he lacked a large-scale area attack jutsu.

While Earth Flow Wall could count as an area attack, anyone with fast reflexes could easily avoid it. It was more of a restrictive jutsu.

As for the Earth Dragon Bullet and Water Dragon Bullet, they were too slow to deal any real damage.

This time, Shiro's goal was to create an area attack jutsu!

"Chidori and Bubble Fusion!"

*Ding!* Attempting to fuse jutsu…

*Ding!* Chidori and Bubble Fusion successful!

*Ding!* Chidori and Bubble Fusion identified: 60% success rate, 39% failure rate, 1% mutation rate. Remaining fusion attempts: 3. Would you like to proceed?

Shiro was stunned. Previously, there were only success or failure outcomes for jutsu fusion. This time, there was also a mutation rate!

With no explanation available in the system, Shiro could only take the risk and try.

As for the 1% mutation chance, he could only leave it to fate!

"Proceed with fusion!"

*Ding!* Fusion in progress…

*Ding!* Fusion failed. Better luck next time! (Remaining fusion attempts: 2)

Shiro's face twitched. Even with such a low success rate for Flying Thunder God, he had succeeded before.

Yet, a 60% chance failed this time!

Still, Shiro didn't get discouraged. He had two more tries left!

"Continue fusion!"

*Ding!* Fusion in progress…

*Ding!* Fusion failed. Better luck next time!

Shiro was furious.

A 60% success rate, and he failed twice in a row!

"One more time! Fusion!"

*Ding!* Fusion in progress…

*Ding!* Fusion successful!

*Ding!* During the fusion process, the jutsu mutated!

*Ding!* Congratulations! You have obtained Lightning Style: Thunder Prison!

Shiro jumped off his bed.

After two failures, he had nearly given up hope, but not only did the third attempt succeed, it also mutated! He actually hit that 1% chance!

His heart raced with excitement.

Although it had mutated, Shiro had no idea how powerful the jutsu was yet. He needed to test it out.

With that in mind, Shiro rushed to the Uchiha clan's training grounds.

This remote, quiet location was perfect for testing new jutsu.

Taking a deep breath, Shiro calmed himself down.

He then began forming hand signs.

"Lightning Style: Thunder Prison!"
