NARUTO: THE STRONGEST UZUMAKI

"Is that you, Tanaka-sama?" Hanako looked at the boy with white hair and blue eyes, assessing him.

Even though she had grown stronger, she still couldn't see through Tanaka's disguise; the same was true for her sister, who, although she didn't ask, seemed unable to see through his disguise either.

"Yes, it's me," he replied, in a voice that closely resembled Killua Zoldyck from Hunter x Hunter, only slightly more mature.

"So, this is your new identity..." Hanako circled him and soon smiled: "Mm, not bad, but I still prefer your true appearance~"

Tatsumaki didn't speak, but she reacted to her younger sister's words, blushing slightly and turning her face away to hide it.

At that moment, Tanaka didn't miss a single detail in his 360° vision. Even without activating the Byakugan, his vision had been enhanced to the extreme. His senses were so sharp that they had become a bit irritating.

The simple fact that he now even possessed the skill Kagura's Mind's Eye allowed him to locate, without even needing to activate the skill, the location of every zombie in the dungeon.

The same was true for his shadow clone, Zephyr.

But he pretended not to notice Tatsumaki's action.

Tatsumaki, controlling her expression, looked in his direction and asked: "How should we address you now, Tanaka-san?"

"Yes, I guess I haven't mentioned it yet, right?" He gave a relaxed smile, his voice a bit cheerier, different from when he spoke as Zephyr, who was calmer and a bit indifferent: "This persona of mine is called Killua Zoldyck."

"What a strange name..." Tatsumaki murmured, then quickly added: "But it's not bad."

"I like it too~" Hanako happily hugged his arm and said: "Then I'll call you Killua-sama~"

"Okay, okay, don't mind me now. Go have fun killing zombies and level up a bit," Tanaka said.

Reluctantly, Hanako stepped back, letting go of his arm.

Unlike when she first met him, now that she was eating and sleeping well, she looked pretty and cute. With her green hair tied in a high ponytail and a pair of pink-framed glasses created by Tanaka, she looked both pretty and cute, with an intellectual touch.

As for Tatsumaki, she now had a healthier appearance, with her clean green hair, the tips curving slightly upward just below her shoulders. She had a cool look. Although she didn't show many expressions and had a bit of a short temper, she also had her adorable sides.

Flying, Tatsumaki was the first to attack again. In the air, she wore a smug expression as she extended both hands forward, creating a whirlwind of wind that surged toward the zombies.

The whirlwind began to sweep the zombies, multiplying into a kind of wind blade.

Meanwhile, Hanako also decided to act, igniting flames on her fists and quickly shouting: "Katon: Flaming Fists!"

Throwing a series of punches into the air, several flaming hands were produced and launched towards the zombies. This was a signature skill that she herself had created after being able to use the fire element with a necklace that Tanaka made, using components from the Ring of Elemental Power. Although it was an inferior version, capable of utilizing only fire, for Hanako, who seemed to enjoy using this element, it was ideal, since the Ring of Elemental Power had a level 80 restriction, something beyond her reach.

The same applied to Tatsumaki. However, in her case, she preferred using the wind element. Therefore, her necklace had a whirlwind emblem, while Hanako's was a flaming heart. In her words, her heart was like fire, burning passionately. That's why Tanaka chose to make the pendant in this design, and it was well received by Hanako.

As for Tatsumaki, she didn't seem to have a strong opinion on the design, but she was very happy when she received hers in the shape of a whirlwind.

'Should I create more necklaces like these for future members of the organization?' Tanaka pondered.

No matter how you look at it, it was more advantageous to directly transform chakra or MP into the desired element than to use multiple seals to trigger a powerful elemental jutsu.

By doing it this way, he noticed that the nature of his chakra (MP), especially wind and water, which he had been using more in recent days, had significantly improved. Now, by using the lightning element, he hoped to also develop the lightning chakra (MP) nature.

Leaving the two, who had started killing zombies, Tanaka jumped onto a rooftop and began thinking about the two new powers in his arsenal: Byakugan and Sharingan.

Although it was described as a skill by the system, he understood that, fundamentally, this wasn't the correct term. It should still be considered a Dōjutsu, just like a Kekkei Genkai. However, after becoming part of his Uzumaki lineage, he realized that it was now an extension of his powers, just like the adamantine chains.

Right now, he was trying to activate both simultaneously; however, even activating one in each eye wasn't easy.

'Well, to be fair, I just acquired this, so I shouldn't be too eager for results and should keep trying,' he reflected.

Forming hand seals, 10 shadow clones appeared. Each of them started doing the same while pulling out some dungeon drop items and beginning to dismantle them.

Meanwhile, he himself held some water balloons inside a basket.

'Alright, let me try to replicate and develop the Rasengan,' Tanaka murmured in his mind.

The entire process that Naruto went through to learn this Ninjutsu, as well as the explanation behind it, was vivid in his mind. That's why he wanted to try learning it.

══════

Hanako and Tatsumaki took nearly two hours to complete two dungeons.

The fact that their drops fell to the ground, since, unlike him, the items didn't go directly into their inventory—since neither of them had anything like that—was still a happy event, because even without this convenience, they were still able to obtain drops in the dungeons.

And it was precisely at that moment that the experience of several clones merged to create a skill.

---

[A skill has been created by repeating an action continuously!]

[What would you like to name it?]

[_____]

---

He murmured 'Rasengan' in his mind. Soon, a new page appeared.

---

[[Rasengan] (Active) Lv1 EXP: 0.0% / 50MP]

Rasengan is a technique skill that concentrates MP into a rotating sphere in the palm of the hand, causing great impact upon contact with the target.

[Reduces execution time by 10%.]

[Increases MP rotation control by 15%.]

[100% damage increase.]

Range: Melee (requires direct contact)

---

Even at just level 1, Rasengan already had a 100% damage increase. It was indeed a powerful Ninjutsu...

'It was easier than I expected...'

Well, unlike Naruto, he possessed five parallel thoughts. Although, with the Shadow Clone Jutsu, Naruto could, in a sense, achieve something similar, it was essentially not the same. Additionally, his MP control far surpassed Naruto's chakra control.

Currently, he had many passive skills that helped with his MP control, whether from the Uzumaki lineage or from the passive abilities he acquired by surpassing the INT and WIS limits.

And one cannot forget the OP skill he possessed: Favorable Probabilities.

Now, in his mind, he murmured: 'Rasengan.'

Soon, a spiral sphere spinning at great speed, in perfect harmony, was created in the palm of his left hand.

'Next, should I try to replicate Chidori?'

That thought was interesting. After all, it would be a perfect skill to use as 'Killua.'

And, since there's about a 10-year age difference between Kakashi and Minato, logically speaking, if the events of Naruto's canon followed the same course, Kakashi wouldn't even have been born yet. So, he would become the creator of this skill, just like Rasengan...

'I wonder... What would their reaction be upon seeing it? Would they feel like they missed an opportunity or try to copy the copier?'

This thought made him laugh a little. No matter how he looked at it, he felt it would be a funny scene.

'But, would Kakashi still be born in this world?' Tanaka pondered.

With so many events diverging from Naruto's canon, the changes that occurred were numerous. Even small alterations can trigger significant transformations. So, would Kakashi's father still have a son who would become Kakashi?

Even the possibility of Naruto and others of his generation... It was highly possible they might not appear.

'By the way, now that several Uchiha are participating in the war, is it possible that one of them is Obito Uchiha's father?'

There was even a possibility that one of the ninjas he killed four days ago was Obito's father...

Well, not that he really cared.

Putting those confusing thoughts aside—knowing that sooner or later he would discover the truth on his own with the passage of time—Tanaka looked at the two girls: one seemed a bit eager for action, while the other was more cheerful and vibrant. He then said, "Okay, it's time to start acting more boldly. Are you ready?"

"Yes~"

"Count on me."
