Toge was mistaken about what the ability actually did though I could see why as without sharp se truly would appear as though ahe sheep stepped turned explosive. In truth though the ability was actually prised of three interected parts. The first was the transformation of normal chakra to fire elemental chakra. The sed was the molding of the chakra into a de stable state. The final was a unique way of using chakra to pce a sticky "trigger" on the chakra when it was ejected from the sheep's hooves.-

  All together and the sheep effectively created elemental ndmihat went off at the slightest disturbance. Copying the ability was as a result not all that hard since I already had all the basic parts pretty much figured out and only o put it into practice. Uhe sheep though I could create these "ndmines" from any part of my body which effectively made me a very pore like existence. Like just imagine an enemy goes to grapple me in some way only to end up with a powerful explosive attached to his hand.-

  The best part though? I could use the ability with ALL of the elements for different effects. Earth chakra for example caused a rain of hard stone shrapo go everywhere upoonation. Wind chakra was basically a razor trap that shredded everything in a few meters when it went off. Lightning was my favorite though as it effectively struck the hing with a thick bolt of the stuff. Water retty much useless though as it just sent water spshing outwards but besides the impact was entirely undamaging. I imagihat it would be a good way to mess with people who fell into a trap though.-

  If you covered a whole room in these mines and then had it sealed airtight the whole room would flood and drown whoever was there if they couldn't bust out in time. Holy though at that point you may as well just use a different element si would kill them way faster. Shizune said that it would be a useful jutsu for water release specialists sihey could create an envirohat worked for them in a hurry. I hadn't thought of it that way but could see the merit in that utilization not that I nning to share this jutsu sihe would ruin the surprise when I used it iure.-

  Plus once I get my property set up I was going to boobytrap the unholy hell out of it and this jutsu erfect for that. Anyways after I mastered the sheep's ability I had it sign the summoning trad the at my parents house with a note and a couple million ryo that they could use to take care of it. I also set a long term mission at the vilge missioer for someoo feed it everyday until my parents came back.-

  I was generous with my payment and even with the dist I got as a shinobi of the leaf it still e a good two huhousand ryo si was teically a low B rank missioo the sheep being a chakra beast. I just realized that I hadn't expined mission ranks yet so I should probably do that. D rank was non shinobi reted missions, find a cat, pick weeds, that kinda stuff. k was bat or mild shinobi reted things that any genin should be able to do.-

  B rank was where things got spicy as that was when bat was expected with other shinobi(the weaker sort of course) or was a shinobi specific task of some difficulty. A rank missions were for in or Jonin exclusively because that was just how difficult they were. S rank missions were for jonin ae Jonin alone as the difficulty or power of the enemies were expected to reach that level. Finally was SS rank missions that were the most difficult and rare as few things were ever that extreme as it involved a Kage or S rank ninja.-

  "Your path is a strange o if you stick to it I see you reag Lady Tsunade's level or maybe even higher. It's clear that these abilities you are copying have great potential if you were to colleough of a variety." Shizune praised after watg me master my new beasts ability.

  "Of course, I would never choose a path with no future after all." I said proudly.

  She ughed at that a for the Senju pound since she stayed with my sensei normally when they are in the vilge. I myself headed for the forest of death since I was most fortable when surrounded by nature. The pce was a deadly domain for most but for me it ractically my sed home in Konoha as I held dominion over all within it. I even had a hidden cubby in the high up trunk of the tall trees that I regur stayed when I was training in private. It was a simple pce with a hammod vine curtain c the entrahat I lit up with a jar of biolumi mushrooms. It was surprisingly hard to spot if you didn't know what you were looking for which served me well.-

  (Meanwhile in a ROOT base)

  "Our information must be incorrect as otherwise there should be no way that team should have failed to capture the targets. Update the file on Kenzo Mizuyama to Jonin status, the boy may not be at that level yet but I don't want to take the ce that I am wrong again." Danzo ordered with a dark expression.

  'I'll o y low after this as Hiruzen will no doubt tie this io me. Luckily the seals destroyed the brains so he won't have definitive proof and only suspis. Still this whole operation was a massive waste of resources as that was years of time and training to create those operatives destroyed by mere faulty information. I knew I should have snatched up the boy long ago but now i fear it's too te if this new forbidden jutsu is any indication. The ability to be in multiple pces at on a true sense, such a teique is wasted on people like that.' he thought with dark greed.

  Moving on to another piece of troublesome information he couldn't help but frown. The report stated that Tsunade Senju was beginning to overe her fear of blood which did not bode well at all for his pns. Despite his advanced age Danzo still coveted the throne of Hokage and if she were to no longer have a fear of blood then more likely than not he would be passed over for the position, again. He could uand why as her bat and medical prowess in addition to her lineage made her a prime didate when her age was also taken into at.
