The Secret of Innovation

"Research function?"

"Can the APP not only accelerate training but also be used to create new jutsus and secret techniques?"

The sudden prompt in his mind made Yasuke pause.

Then, coming back to his senses, Yasuke, just from the literal meaning, slightly analyzed the utility of the "research function," and a look of anticipation appeared in his eyes.

Ding!

"Player, the research function has been successfully bound. When conditions are met, you can use the research function to independently create skills. Would you like to use it?"

"Just as I thought, the research function is for creating new jutsus and secret techniques!"

"Use it! APP, use it now!"

As the APP prompted again, Yasuke, in his excitement, quickly brought up the interface for the research function.

As the interface appeared and Yasuke studied its utility, he recalled the various uses of the APP and thought, "The mobile game I used to play was a first-person Naruto game, right? The cheat I downloaded explained that it could not only modify character levels and skill levels but also combine skills and modify the basic information of characters!"

"If my speed-up leveling APP comes from that cheat, then accelerating training is akin to modifying skill levels, and combining skills is equivalent to the current research function!"

"In the future, if I can meet the trigger conditions, does modifying the basic information of characters mean I can change or even absorb bloodlines? If I absorb the Uchiha clan's bloodline, wouldn't that mean I have the chance to awaken the Sharingan? The Byakugan of the Hyuga clan, the Shikotsumyaku of the Kaguya clan, could I possess them all?"

"This cheat was totally worth downloading!"

From the emergence of the research function, Yasuke couldn't help but have certain expectations for the APP he was bound to.

Those expectations naturally included absorbing various Kekkei Genkai from the Naruto world, transforming into a terrifying existence with the Rinnegan in his left eye and the Tenseigan in his right eye!

However, Yasuke also understood that he shouldn't expect too much from the APP and couldn't solely rely on its effects. The APP, in a certain sense, was just an auxiliary tool, much like how the Sharingan was a tool for the Uchiha clan. Whether the tool's potential could be fully realized depended on the user's own abilities.

For example, Yasuke used the APP to speed up training and quickly mastered the Nara clan's secret techniques, but what did that prove?

Mastering advanced jutsus didn't necessarily equate to having corresponding strength.

Naruto, during his genin days, already mastered the Rasengan; did that make him stronger than the Fourth Hokage?

Sasuke learned the Chidori early on; did that mean he was more powerful than Kakashi at the time?

Therefore, with a mature mindset, Yasuke had already set a clear position for the APP. Even if it accelerated his training, he would still need to train himself rigorously, surpass one target after another, and ascend to the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Then, as he brought up the interface for the research function and studied it carefully, Yasuke discovered something quite interesting.

The research function interface had two blank options.

Upon selecting the first option, Yasuke saw techniques he had already mastered, such as the Shadow Imitation Technique, the Shadow Strangle Technique, and the Shadow Sewing Technique, listed there.

When he selected the second option, he found it included a wide array of items, not only the Nara clan's secret techniques but also tools like kunai and shuriken, as well as body parts like fists and feet.

Following the APP's prompts and combining his previous ideas, Yasuke first selected the Shadow Sewing Technique in the first option and then chose shuriken in the second option. Sure enough, a 100% success rate for combining the two to create a new secret technique appeared at the bottom of the research interface.

"Interesting!"

"So the research function isn't for creating jutsus or secret techniques out of thin air but for combining existing techniques and skills to create new ones!"

"Alright, if the chance of combining the Shadow Sewing Technique and shuriken to create a new secret technique is 100%, then let's do it!"

Communicating with the APP through his mind, Yasuke silently selected the "yes" option.

Quickly, a 0/100 progress bar appeared at the bottom of the research interface, and once it was full, Yasuke would have successfully developed a new secret technique.

As this was the first secret technique he was creating, Yasuke was somewhat expectant. However, after waiting for a long time without the progress bar moving, he could only shake his head, thinking:

"Creating new secret techniques is indeed very difficult. Even the APP needs so much time, let alone if I were to do it on my own. Moreover, the research function can only work on one new jutsu or secret technique at a time, which is a limitation!"

"But for now, it's still more advantageous than disadvantageous. After all, not everyone has the opportunity to create new jutsus or secret techniques. Anyway, since the new technique is already being researched, I should study the scroll Daniel gave me and quickly master the Shadow Clone Technique, the ultimate cheat!"

One shouldn't be overly greedy. Yasuke was indeed a greedy person, but the difference between a smart person and a fool lies in knowing when to be greedy and when to restrain one's innate greed.

Then, as he casually opened the scroll Daniel had given him, just a cursory glance made him realize it detailed the training method for the Shadow Clone Technique, much to his delight. As he delved deeper into the contents of the scroll, Yasuke began to appreciate Daniel's thoughtful gesture more and more.

Apart from the Shadow Clone Technique, the scroll only recorded the Three Basic Techniques (Clone Technique, Substitution Technique, Transformation Technique) and the standard Body Flicker Technique, which were considered fundamental ninjutsus in the ninja world.

However, despite the scroll itself not being extremely valuable, Daniel's intention in giving it to Yasuke was invaluable!

In the Hidden Leaf Village, the Nara, Akimichi, and Yamanaka clans all had the distinction between the main and branch families. While there might not appear to be any conflict on the surface, it was impossible for every clan member to be without selfish desires, right?

The clan head represented the interests of the main family. Yasuke, being from a branch family, would face a dilemma for Shikaku, the clan head: whether to support the majority of the mediocre members of the main family or defy the main family's opposition and allocate training resources to Yasuke, who was from the branch family and showing talent.

Initially, when Yasuke demonstrated some talent, Shikaku was still hesitating, considering whether to test him for a while.

But with Daniel giving Yasuke this scroll, the astute Shikaku knew his friend had made a choice for him, ready to support Yasuke unconditionally, forcing Shikaku to confront the rigid forces within the Nara clan!

Moreover, Yasuke also understood that Daniel forming a good relationship with him might be partly to benefit the Akimichi clan. So, as he absorbed the contents of the scroll, fully memorizing the training methods for the Three Basic Techniques, the Body Flicker Technique, and the Shadow Clone Technique, Yasuke simultaneously loaded these jutsus into the APP's training progress bar, while recalling Daniel's chubby face, he thought:

"Uncle Daniel, don't worry. Once I make a name for myself, I'll take good care of the Akimichi clan!"

"APP, I want to modify the training progress for the Shadow Clone Technique to 100/100!"

Ding!
