Chapter 148: 148. Disguise Technique
From years of roaming around the backyard, he knew that newly spawned NPCs always had a brief loading period.
Taking advantage of this moment, Uchiha Gin approached to inspect the blank, white humanoid creature that had just appeared.
"No issues with clarity, no trace of suspiciousness at all."
Circling the motionless creature, Gin muttered to himself, hoping it would appear with some sort of weakness.
But, to his disappointment, it was as pure and unblemished as could be.
Just as Gin lamented the missed opportunity, the creature's vacant face twitched slightly, and its once-empty eyes filled with curiosity.
Its gaze locked onto Gin, showing excitement.
White Zetsu tried to greet him, but was unable to control its body.
Gin could only watch as the creature transformed, opening its jaws wide like a monstrous plant, lunging towards him.
"Oh, fully loaded now? Alright, let's wrap this up quickly. I have a performance tomorrow," Gin said, unfazed by the eerie aura coming toward him.
His eyes darkened as three tomoe swirled, spinning in his right eye as he infused it with chakra, forming a black lotus that instantly enveloped White Zetsu mid-air.
Amaterasu
Sizzling sounds replaced any scream. In moments, White Zetsu vanished into smoke, fading into nothingness.
Closing his eyes, Gin dispelled the flames, leaving no trace behind.
"Daily Backyard Refresh: Disguise Technique Skill Acquired"
Surprised, Gin chuckled, remembering how White Zetsu used this technique during the Fourth Shinobi World War to infiltrate the Allied Shinobi Forces, causing massive chaos.
"This is perfect! No need to worry about makeup for the role. Haha!" Relieved, Gin strolled home.
Spotting him, Senju Itama instinctively stepped back, gripping his broom defensively.
"You brat! What's with that look?" Gin thought he had been too lenient on Itama lately.
Slowly approaching, he smirked.
"Stay back!" Itama shrieked, his voice echoing around the room. Gin rubbed his ears, irritated.
"What's with you now?"
"Hikari warned me about that magazine! You dirty fiend, don't even think about touching me!" Itama brandished the broom, teeth clenched, determined to protect his dignity.
"Huh?"
Caught off guard, Gin, with a mischievous grin, said, "Curious, aren't you? I was around your age when I started wondering about these things, too." His tone softened. "If you're that interested, I can show you my collection."
"Hmph!" Trying to maintain his composure, Itama turned away.
Gin, however, kept pushing, "I'm in a good mood today. Next time, you won't get such a deal."
But Itama only shot him a look of pure disdain, leaving Gin scratching his cheek awkwardly.
"Ungrateful brat," Gin muttered, heading to his room to study the Disguise Technique.
Closing his eyes, he gathered chakra. When he reopened them, he found himself transformed.
"Even the aura matches perfectly," Gin marveled, noting his flawless mimicry. The only downside was that the technique required a sample of the target's chakra.
"Where am I going to find some?" he wondered. Suddenly, he thought of his uncle, Uchiha Tajima, and dashed out to his office, hoping he might still be working late.
Upon arrival, Gin entered through the window.
"Why not just use the door?" Tajima sighed.
"Secrecy, Uncle!" Gin replied, going straight to the point. "Remember fighting that Senju brat the other day?"
Tajima raised an eyebrow. "Of course. I took them down with my bare fists."
Gin rolled his eyes. "And did any of their chakra rub off on you?"
"Hardly," Tajima scoffed. "Used Susano'o. No weapons needed."
"Alright," Gin muttered, deciding to head to the Senju territory to collect chakra samples.
"Wait," Tajima called. "Other spots might still have traces of chakra."
Gin chuckled. "What, got slapped by a Senju fist, did you?"
Angered, Tajima summoned his Susano'o, a massive, silver-gray figure with prominent horns and two huge eyes.
Looking at the silver-gray Susanoo that wrapped Uchiha Tajima, Uchiha Gin couldn't help but sigh, because the appearance of this Susanoo was 70% similar to the Ultraman he knew in his previous life.
Gin gasped, admiring it. "Wow, Uncle! This Susano'o is like no other!"
"Like… what?"
"Oh, nothing," Gin replied, unable to resist a final jab.
"Ultraman"
