"Should we really try to escape? That way, the Riddler won't bother us."
Black Mask tentatively asked.
However, Walter ignored Black Mask's words and focused on his own panel.
The abilities of the avatar are different from the original body, with some similarities in characteristics, almost like a blank slate character, and the attribute panel is not complete.
There are no attributes like the Eight Gates.
However, the knowledge and skills possessed by the original body are all intact.
Because these are stored in his memory, but some things cannot be shared.
For example, chakra levels or chakra attributes.
Chakra, as a combination of spiritual and physical energy, is tied to the body and soul. The original body has wind and lightning chakra attributes, but this body may not.
However, it is possible to spend fate points to grant this body attributes that the original body possesses, or to strengthen the body, spirit, and chakra.
Alternatively, if this body undergoes modifications similar to those in the DC world, like the Reaper's, gaining self-healing abilities, the original body can share this ability through fate points.
Walter prefers to call these talents.
Talents cannot be shared because they are inherent to the body.
But skills are knowledge that the original self already possesses, unrelated to the body.
In any case, the effect of fate points is evident.
Whether to become stronger or explore new worlds, fate points play a significant role.
Unfortunately, being locked up in Arkham as a villain makes it challenging to infiltrate the hero side. Otherwise, joining something like the Justice League or Teen Titans would surely bring a lot of fate points.
First, you need to figure out a way to get out of Arkham.
"Fortunately, I am not just a minor villain in Gotham, but also a puppeteer named Keir Wat, who has undergone professional ninja training in the world of Naruto as a top puppeteer ninja from a ninja village. With the advantage of intelligence, there may be a chance to escape from Arkham. Besides, I need to have a chat with the Black Mask to understand the current situation."
Hardy silently contemplated this and then calmed down, starting to extract chakra from this body for the first time.
In the original work, it was repeatedly shown that the soul and consciousness can carry chakra, and this incarnation also inherited some chakra from the original body.
He only needed to use this bit of chakra as a seed to continue refining and strengthening his own chakra.
The DC world is vast, and the power levels are high. This incarnation of his cannot stay in Arkham Asylum forever, even though everything is provided here without any worries.
Fortunately, although this body is just a minor villain, its physical strength is relatively good among ordinary people. Mentally, it is guided by a trace of Hardy's own will, but it also has a soul. Its strength is neither high nor low, and the amount of physical and mental energy that can be extracted is not small.
...
...
Naruto World.
The next day, in the early morning.
As the first rays of sunlight rose, Hardy, refreshed, carried the chubby puppet on his back, with a ninja tool pouch around his waist, and arrived at Training Ground 1 of the Sand Village.
Although it was called a training ground, it was actually an oasis in the desert.
The most precious oasis in the desert.
It also had a nice name, the Emerald of the Wind.
A clear stream flowed out of the oasis, passing through the desert and the low bushes on both sides, extending towards the horizon like a silver ribbon.
Because of the precious water source, many animals would appear nearby, and those who could enjoy the oasis were the top predators in the food chain. It was said that some ninjas had contracted spirit beasts here.
"Is this the training location?"
Hardy stood at the edge of the oasis surrounded by barbed wire, looking around.
There were many other ninjas like him, carrying their own puppets on their backs, most likely puppeteers. There were also a few wealthy individuals carrying sealing scrolls, probably for storing their puppets conveniently.
Among them, he seemed to be one of the youngest, if not the youngest.
There was only one younger than him.
A red-haired boy carrying two sealing scrolls, looking two to three years younger than him.
After about ten minutes, several shadows flashed by, and six ninjas, also carrying sealing scrolls and wearing brown-black ninja vests, appeared in front of everyone.
The leading jonin took a step forward, naturally exuding a strong aura.
"All puppeteers line up in order of height. Thirty seconds limit, those who exceed the time will automatically withdraw from this training sequence."
As soon as the words fell, the seventy-nine puppeteers on the scene quickly lined up.
Most of those who could come here were elite among the genin, without characters like Naruto making a scene. It took about twenty seconds to almost complete the lineup.
Hardy was second to last because, at the age of eleven, he was less than five feet tall.
The last one was the red-haired boy carrying the sealing scrolls.
"I am the deputy captain of the First Puppet Brigade, Sazan Kazan, you can call me Jonin Kazan. The other five are also captains of the Second to Sixth Puppet Brigades. Only after completing the training and passing the assessment we set, will you have the opportunity to enter the Puppet Brigade."
The fierce-looking jonin with a scar on his forehead glanced at the many genin puppeteers, pausing slightly at the end, and announced loudly.
The Puppet Brigade was created by the former elder of the Sand Village, Menzaburo Menzaburo. It consisted of six brigades, each with a captain, a vice-captain, and three team leaders, all led by jonin. The six main captains were elite among the jonin, all currently on the front lines, with one vice-captain assisting.
For puppeteers in the Sand Village who wanted to stand out, the Puppet Brigade was the best choice. Even the descendants of the elders had to go through this process because there were many secrets that were not passed down, and only those with a certain status in the Puppet Brigade were qualified to access them.
Here, there was a complete inheritance left by the second and third Kazekages, the ancestors of the Menzaburo clan, with the ability to cultivate strong individuals at the level of "Kage."
"Your abilities have been preliminarily assessed by the village, possessing the basic requirements of an excellent puppeteer. Therefore, I won't waste any more time."
Jonin Kazan pointed towards the oasis.
"Now, I will give you an hour to complete the first test. Enter the oasis and collect any materials you think can be used to make puppets. The quality of materials collected by a single person must not exceed fifteen kilograms, and within the next two hours, create a puppet. Now, go!"
With that, the seventy-nine ninjas quickly plunged into the oasis.
...
...
To be honest, Hardy really felt that there were materials everywhere that could be used to make puppets.
The types of trees around were species with good chakra conductivity, as well as the fangs, claws, fur of fierce beasts, poisonous insects, and plants.
