Hotaru, Koh, the dungeon, and Orochimaru – they all became things of the past in an instant. Now, Habara was no longer Orochimaru's test subject; he was a Konoha pawn.

  Of course, this might have been Habara being overly ical. Perhaps Konoha had genuinely accepted him. Since his "Mag Release kekkei genkai" ninja status had been directly exposed, he could be sidered a special talent, thus warranting special recruitment… Unfortunately, Habara himself didn't believe in such a naive assumption.

  Although he still didn't know the exact year (asking "What year is it?" was something a normal person just wouldn't do), he was certain that the Third Shinobi World War was still ongoing.

  War was cruel, and its cruelty y in the fact that it demanded everything involved to be equally cruel.

  Habara temporarily remai that camp. The four members of the squad essentially stayed together, but aside from their initial introdus, where they exged names and tactical positions, there wasn't much to talk about… This was simir to his situation in the cell.

  They were strangers, g any sense of trust in each other. Cooperation and tacit uanding were out of the question. pared to the squad leader and the withdrawn teammate, Habara had retively more iion with the you, Daigo.

  After learning a bit about the team's position from Daigo, Habara became somewhat uneasy, because the team's structure seemed illogical…

  Generally speaking, ninjas with surnames likely came from ninja s, while ninjas with only given names were probably from civilian backgrounds… Although this method of judgment was very rough, everyone in Habara's squad, except for him, had only a given name and no surname.

  In addition to the highest-ranking ander being only a in, through his chats with Daigo, Habara learhat the proportion of ninjas who were inally from Konoha in this team was very low. Besides people like Habara, there were even more ninjas who were trying to ie into Konoha, or perhaps more accurately, "naturalized ninjas"… In short, the current squad was made up of a plex mix of people, with unreliability and untrustworthiness being the keynotes.

  So, leaving Orochimaru didn't necessarily mean safety. From now on, Habara had to be extremely careful, or he might unknowingly fall into a trap.

  Unlike in the dungeon, Habara's range of movement had signifitly increased in the camp. He could move freely within the camp's boundaries, but sihe team would soon be heading to the front lines, he couldn't leave without authorization.

  Within the designated area, Habara could manage his time indepely.

  He took the opportunity to secretly read the aru had given him. It turned out to be a detailed map. It used the cell he had previously stayed in as a reference point, and a special location was marked in red…

  Hotaru might have foreseen her own end, so she hid something and informed Habara, who had no e to Konoha and was someone Orochimaru wouldn't suspect.

  Habara could guess that Hotaru was likely someone Konoha had pnted by Orochimaru's side. She should have transmitted some fidential information about Orochimaru to the vilge, which was why she was killed… This information was very likely about "Koh." Konoha would definitely be particurly ied in the application of the First Hokage's cells.

  As for the Cursed Seal experiment involving Habara himself, Hotaru probably hadn't transmitted that information. Otherwise, Habara wouldn't have been so easily released from the dungeon. It wasn't hard to uand, though, since Orochimaru's Cursed Seal experiment hadn't truly begu; Hotaru probably had no idea what Orochimaru was doing.

  If Habara obtaihe things Hotaru had hidden and hahem over to Konoha, he might be directly accepted by the vilge… This was the potential be and his motivation for ag on Hotaru's behalf.

  But after thinking it over, Habara decided to put this matter aside for the time being. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to create any unnecessary plications. In this familiar yet unfamiliar world, his current attitude was to not get involved in things he shouldn't be involved in.

  This world was a "closed loop," with great cataclysms and saviors. So, Habara didn't o worry about the grand narrative at all; he just o ensure his own survival.

  He had to think about himself.

  And if asked what his greatest advantage was in this world, the answer certainly wouldn't be his "kekkei genkai," but rather his "informational advantage" – there were no major or minor secrets of this world that he didn't know.

  So, while his memories of the ninja world were still fresh, he o reinforce his memory of those things that absolutely shouldn't be fotten… Just in case. If he actally fot some crucial information ter on, that would be disastrous.

  But that being said, Habara couldn't write those things down on paper now, not even in code… Writing down so many patterned scribbles, what if a Konoha ninja saw them? What the heck would he be trying to do?

  Only after Habara's surroundings were stable and secure would he sider whether or not to make a paper record.

  Besides crucial information about the ninja world, Habara also wao memorize the information of some key ninjas in a quantifiable way, to better assess their bat power. Or rather, for his own safety, he wao assess the threat level of some ninjas in a more intuitive way.

  And since he was going to assess bat power, he naturally o choose a suitable benchmark. Without spending much time, Habara directly decided on a very suitable subject – 26-year-old, Three-Tomoe Sharingan state Hatake Kakashi.

  As everyone khis bat power unit was the famous "one Kakashi."

  With the bat power benchmark established, what about the evaluation criteria?

  The formalized eight attributes of Ninjutsu, Taijutsu, Genjutsu, Strength, Speed, Seals, Stamina, and Intelligence, Habara felt, were not prehehey couldn't directly reflect a ninja's bat level.

  After thinking about it, Habara decided to add two more attributes to these eight:

  First, "Burst" to represent a ninja's instantaneous maximum chakra output.

  Sed, "Ara" to represent the power of a ninja's secret teiques, forbidden teiques, and ultimate ninjutsu.

  With these two additions, the data would be more reflective of a ninja's bat power.

  Using these ten attributes for measurement, each with a maximum of ten points, the total possible score would be one hundred. At the same time, given that some ninjas' attributes might far exceed the ten-point limit, Habara decided to use a "+" to indicate that they were off the charts in that attribute. This "+" essentially meant that the ninja was invincible in that particur category.

  After calg a base score using these ten attributes, each attribute would then be weighted by a factor of 10. Finally, adding Habara's subjective impression, a ninja's bat power could be roughly outlined.

  So, Three-Tomoe Kakashi's stats were as follows: Ninjutsu (10), Taijutsu (9), Genjutsu (8), Strength (6), Speed (9), Seals (10), Stamina (6), Intelligence (10), Burst (6), Ara (5). Total: 80. ventional bat Power Assessment: 900.

  Therefore, the quantified "one Kakashi" was a total score of 80 and a bat power level of 900.

  If we were to use this method to assess the "Three Legendary Sannin" Jiraiya, a normal ninja's peak bat power, it would look like this: Ninjutsu (10), Taijutsu (9), Genjutsu (6), Strength (9), Speed (9), Seals (9), Stamina (10), Intelligence (9), Burst (10+), Ara (10+). Total: 91++. ventional bat Power Assessment: 2100. Limit bat Power Assessment: 6300

  Then, if we were to assess the "God of Shinobi," the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, in this way, things would get iing: Ninjutsu (10+), Taijutsu (10+), Genjutsu (10), Strength (10), Speed (10), Seals (10), Stamina (10+), Intelligence (10), Burst (10+++), Ara (10+++). Total: 100+++++++++. servative Estimate of Normal bat Power: 20000. Limit bat Power… this number could be anything.

  Of course, by parison, we see that while these numbers have a certain degree of rationality, they aren't truly objective. Jiraiya's normal bat power being a little over two Kakashis makes sense. But the "God of Shinobi" only being twenty Kakashis is less reasonable.

  The ails' chakra amount was over a huimes that of Kakashi, and Senju Hashirama's chakra was parable to the ails'. Even with a simple parison like that, the differeween them wouldn't be just twenty times.

  So, off-the-charts, outlier data has little meaning and no research value. Quantifying the "God of Shinobi's" bat power was just for fun.

  After establishing the "one Kakashi" standard, Habara tried to analyze himself… Okay, there was no need for analysis. Many of his scores wouldn't even exceed three, and his bat power assessment would be between 30 and 50.

  To be generous, let's give him a 50. From now on, Habara would be the "new scrub" of the ninja world.

  This showed that looking down on "one Kakashi" was unreasonable. For ordinary ninjas, "one Kakashi" was impossibly far away.
