Hiding in the sand, splitting into many places, starting with Arkham

“Then… how about we actually break out? That way, we won't be bothered by the Riddler.”

Black Mask asked tentatively.

However, Shimizu ignored Black Mask's words and focused his attention on his own status panel.

An avatar's abilities are different from the original body's; at most, a portion of the characteristics are similar. It's almost like a blank slate character, and the attribute panel isn't complete either.

It lacks attributes like the Ninja Eight Parameters.

However, the knowledge and skills possessed by the original body are all fine.

Because these exist within his memory, but some things can't be shared.

For example, the amount of chakra, or chakra nature.

Chakra, as a combination of mental and physical energy, is bound to the body and soul. His original body has Wind and Lightning chakra natures, but this body may not.

However, he can spend Fate Points to give this body chakra natures it didn't originally have but the original body possesses. He can also spend Fate Points to strengthen the physical body, spirit, and chakra.

Alternatively, if this body undergoes a transformation similar to Deathstroke's in the DC world, gaining self-healing abilities, then the original body can also spend Fate Points to share that self-healing ability.

Shimizu prefers to call these talents.

Talents cannot be shared because they are inherent to the body.

But skills are knowledge that he has already mastered, and have little to do with the body.

In any case, the role of Fate Points is very obvious.

Whether he wants to become stronger or open up a new world, Fate Points can play a significant role.

Unfortunately, he's already been locked up in Arkham as a villain. It would probably be troublesome to try to blend in with the good guys now. Otherwise, if he joined something like the Justice League or Teen Titans, he would definitely gain a lot of Fate Points.

The first step is to find a way to get out of Arkham.

“Fortunately, I'm not just a small Gotham villain, the Dollmaker Khaleel Wert, but also a puppet master ninja who has undergone professional ninja training in a top ninja village in the Naruto world. Using the advantage of information, there may be a chance to get out of Arkham. In addition, I need to get some information out of Black Mask to figure out what time it is now.”

Shimizu thought silently, then calmed down and began extracting chakra for the first time in this body.

As shown many times in the original work, the soul and consciousness can carry chakra, and his avatar has also inherited a little chakra from the original body.

He only needs to use this little chakra as a seed to continue refining and growing his own chakra.

The DC world is very large, and the power level is very high. His avatar can't stay in Arkham Asylum forever, even though it's all-inclusive and he doesn't have to operate a sewing machine.

Fortunately, although this body is just a small villain, its physical strength is relatively good among ordinary people. Although the spirit is guided by a trace of Shimizu's own will, it actually has a soul, the strength of which is neither high nor low. The amount of physical and mental energy that can be extracted is not small.

… …

Naruto World.

The next day, early morning.

As the first ray of sunlight rose, Shimizu, who had rested well, carried the fat puppet on his back, strapped on his ninja tool bag, and came to Training Ground Number One in Sunagakure.

Although it is called a training ground, it is actually a desert with an oasis.

The most precious oasis in the desert.

It also has a beautiful name, Emerald of the Wind.

A clear stream flowed out of the oasis, passing through the desert and the sparse low bushes on both banks, extending to the horizon like a silver ribbon.

Because there is a precious water source, many animals haunt the area, and those who can enjoy the oasis are the strongest beasts in the food chain. It is said that ninjas have also contracted summoning beasts here.

“Is this the training location?”

Shimizu stood at the edge of the oasis surrounded by wire mesh, looking around.

There were many ninjas around him, just like him, carrying their own puppets on their backs, definitely puppet masters. There were also very few rich guys carrying sealing scrolls, mostly to put the puppets in the scrolls for easy carrying.

His age seemed to be one of the youngest in this group.

Those who can come here are basically elites among the Genin, and there are no boisterous characters like Naruto. It took about twenty seconds to complete the arrangement.

Shimizu was second to last, because at the age of eleven, he was less than 1.5 meters tall.

The last one was the red-haired boy carrying the sealing scroll.

“I am the deputy captain of the First Squad of the Puppet Corps, Sajo Sazanami. You can call me Jonin Sazanami. The other five are also the captains of the Second to Sixth Squads of the Puppet Corps. Only after completing the training and passing the assessment set by us, will you have the opportunity to enter the Puppet Corps.”

The leader, a fierce-looking bald Jonin with a scar on his forehead, glanced at the many Genin puppet masters, his eyes paused slightly at the end, and announced loudly.

The Puppet Corps was created by Sunagakure's previous Elder Monzaemon, with a total of six squads, each with three captains, one main and two deputies, all of whom are Jonin. The six main captains are all elites among the Jonin, and all are currently on the front lines, with a deputy captain assisting.

For Sunagakure's puppet masters to get ahead, the Puppet Corps is the best choice, even for the descendants of the elders, because there is a lot of knowledge that is a closely guarded secret, and only those with a certain position in the Puppet Corps are qualified to access it.

Here, there is a complete inheritance left by the Second Kazekage and Monzaemon, the two puppet master patriarchs, with the ability to cultivate powerhouses of the "Kage" level.

“Your abilities have been initially assessed by the village and possess the basics required of an excellent puppet master, so next, I won't waste any words.”

Jonin Sazanami reached out and pointed to the oasis.

“Now, I will give you one hour to conduct the first test, enter the oasis and collect all the materials you think can be made into puppets. The quality of the materials collected by a single person cannot exceed fifteen kilograms, and within the next two hours, make a puppet. Now, go!”

As soon as the words fell, the seventy-nine ninjas quickly plunged into the oasis.

… …

… …

To be honest, Shimizu really felt that there were materials everywhere here that could be made into puppets.

The types of trees around were all tree species with good chakra transmission properties, as well as the claws, teeth, and fur of beasts, poisonous insects and weeds with toxicity, etc.
