Naruto, all the ninja women love me, and Konoha depends on me.

Chapter 008: The Correct Way to Use a Younger Sister

Senju Wakama silently walked back to the place where he had parted ways with Zetsu.

Following their original agreement, as Senju Wakama passed by that spot, he felt something crawl up along his ankle and cling to it.

It must be Zetsu returning.

However, Zetsu remained silent, most likely because his younger sister was still nearby.

Senju Wakama pretended as if nothing had happened, nibbling on a piece of candy as he walked toward his residence.

In the darkness of the night, a pair of blood-red eyes glared from the shadows, staring at Senju Wakama's gradually receding figure for a long time.

It wasn't until Senju Wakama's figure disappeared into the brothers' residence that the eyes slowly faded back into the shadows.

Returning to his own residence,

Senju Wakama entered the "Stealth" state once again.

Even in his own room, Senju Wakama tried to minimize his presence.

Even though this was his private domain.

After confronting his younger sister, Senju Wakama suddenly realized that the feeling of having personal space might be an illusion.

Maintaining the "Stealth" state, Senju Wakama burrowed into his bedding, seemingly ready to fall asleep immediately.

Zetsu, too, remained silent at this time.

Despite having only spent a little over three months together,

the two had developed a tacit understanding.

Since Zetsu had returned to Senju Wakama's side, Senju Wakama had not mentioned Zetsu's name.

And such behavior was already hinting at something.

Over these three months, Senju Wakama had not only mastered the "Art of Stealth" under Zetsu's guidance,

but Zetsu's teachings had also profoundly influenced Senju Wakama.

Zetsu had said that his younger sister was a terrifying person.

This statement had already been proven true.

Zetsu had also said that his existence must not be revealed to his younger sister.

Senju Wakama had agreed to this.

Senju Wakama's silence was a way of conveying to Zetsu that he had indeed been exposed...

Without any further communication, Senju Wakama gradually closed his eyes.

Before long, the dark room was filled with the sound of Senju Wakama's steady breathing.

A night breeze blew through the door crack, carrying with it the faint scent of roses.

After an unknown amount of time, the floral scent disappeared without a trace, as if the night breeze had brought a fleeting fragrance that then dissipated.

After the scent vanished,

Zetsu's voice rang in Senju Wakama's ear, "She was just here... and now she's gone..."

Senju Wakama did not deny it, replying in a calm tone, "....Good night."

As soon as these words were spoken, Zetsu's voice also abruptly ceased.

....

After witnessing the terror of his younger sister,

Senju Wakama seemed like a completely different person overnight.

He no longer avoided his sister as he had before, but instead maintained a safe distance while practicing "Stealth," observing her up close.

Senju Wakama had come to understand what he needed to do.

He should no longer waste time on meaningless struggles with his sister.

The "Art of Stealth" was an extremely practical skill, and Senju Wakama naturally practiced it without pause.

Senju Wakama had fully mastered the "Art of Stealth," as well as the accompanying skills:

"Backstab Technique": While in "Stealth," maneuver behind the opponent, maintain the "Stealth" state, and use a dagger to strike from various angles, with a over 90% chance of delivering a fatal blow in one hit;

"Lightfoot Technique": Maintain the "Stealth" state, moving like a bird, a fish, or a gust of wind, blending into nature, and not triggering pressure traps while moving.

"Silent Roll": While in "Stealth," suddenly accelerate, allowing for quick and silent forward rolls in any direction.

"Shadow Technique": While in "Stealth," crouch silently in the shadows for more than three seconds to enter an invisible state, which will only be dispelled upon physical contact with an enemy or voluntary movement.

With continuous practice, the likelihood of Senju Wakama being detected while in "Stealth" would decrease further.

After mastering these life-saving skills as much as possible,

Zetsu began teaching Senju Wakama new things.

Following the "Art of Stealth," Zetsu imparted new knowledge and skills to Senju Wakama: "Dexterity Technique" and "Lockpicking Technique."

…..

While Senju Wakama routinely practiced the "Art of Stealth," Zetsu, while teaching the new skill "Dexterity Technique," also provided information about the plants and animals along the way.

Zetsu: "This is called black nightshade, a annual herbaceous plant of the Solanaceae family. Its stem is nearly hairless or covered in fine soft hairs, with alternate leaves that are ovate or oval-elliptical in shape, often hairless. The flowers are small and drooping, with white or pale purple corollas, and the berries are spherical, turning dark purple when ripe......"

Hmm...

Although unripe black nightshade berries are poisonous, the ripe ones are edible and taste quite good. They can be used as a snack to give to my sister!

While listening to Zetsu's explanations, Senju Wakama used the new "Dexterity Technique" skill he had been taught to pick the black nightshade berries he saw during his "Stealth" practice.

Then, using the "Art of Stealth," Senju Wakama approached his sister and gave her the harvested black nightshade berries.

His sister was very pleased and, in return, gifted Senju Wakama a finely crafted "ceramic knife" she had made using various ninjutsu techniques.

Thus, Senju Wakama, in exchange for casually picked wild berries, received an unprecedentedly sharp dagger made from unique materials from his sister.

Wow, just by unintentionally showing kindness to his sister, he had upgraded his usual "weapon."

This experience opened a strange new door for Senju Wakama.

And so...

While practicing the "Art of Stealth," Senju Wakama used the "Dexterity Technique" to steal several beautiful wildflowers growing around the Senju clan's vegetable fields and gave them to his sister.

In return, he received a packet of "Datura pollen" from her.

His sister explained that this was an extract from the Datura flower, and that the entire plant was poisonous, containing mainly hyoscyamine, scopolamine, and atropine. If ingested, symptoms like convulsions, spasms, hallucinations, coma, and even death could occur within half an hour.

Upon receiving this poison, Senju Wakama was both amazed and cautious, carefully storing it away.

In the following days, while practicing the "Art of Stealth," Senju Wakama used the "Dexterity Technique" to steal and acquire a large amount of "loot," all of which he gave to his sister.

In return, Senju Wakama received from his adorable sister: "Corncockle seed powder," "Monkshood flower powder," "laxatives," "knockout drugs," "jungle camouflage clothing," and various candies and cookies made from different ingredients....

Among these, "Corncockle seed powder" was a powder made from the seeds of a beautiful small purple-red flower. Ingesting it would cause poisoning, with symptoms including stomach pain, vomiting, dizziness, and low fever. If one were feeling particularly desperate, consuming a larger amount could lead to coma and even death.

"Monkshood extract powder" was highly toxic, causing cardiac arrest and death if ingested. However, when combined with rhubarb and other medicinal ingredients in the right proportions, its toxicity could be reduced. Boiling it for over two hours would significantly lower its toxicity, turning it into a beneficial medicine.

The so-called camouflage clothing was something his sister had dyed using plant-based dyes out of boredom. Each brother received a set, and wearing these clothes in the forest made them blend seamlessly with their surroundings.

Not long after Senju Wakama received his sister's specially made clothing,

the Senju clan's everyday and combat attire also underwent a transformation. Everyone began wearing clothing that allowed them to blend almost perfectly with the forest, truly living up to the name "Senju Clan of the Forest."

As for the snacks, those were simply treats his sister had made and given to Senju Wakama to enjoy.
