After lunch, Naruto couldn't wait to head back to the forest. On the surface, there were fifty Shadow Clones set up as decoys, with one extra hidden in plain sight.
His real body had already teleported to a distant location using the Flying Thunder God Technique and concealed himself.
Once Naruto confirmed that no one was nearby, he opened up his personal stats panel:

[Bloodline Upgrade Scroll] x1
---
Naruto considered the items available in the system's shop for his remaining 200 points. Beyond the B-Rank ninjutsu, there were skill upgrade scrolls, bloodline enhancement scrolls, and a new item he hadn't seen before: the [Skill Synthesis Scroll].
The [Skill Synthesis Scroll] could combine two high-level skills into a new, powerful ability.
"Whoa!"
Naruto muttered excitedly. With all the advanced skills he had, he realized he could use this scroll to create a unique power.
"A special ability… Just imagining the possibilities is amazing!"
"But which skills should I combine?" he pondered. "First, I need to think about what kind of ability would be the most useful."
Naruto considered his upcoming mission to infiltrate the shinobi world under a new identity. After some thought, he asked, "System, if I fuse my Advanced-level Clone Technique with the Transformation Technique, what ability would that create?"
"Ding! This combination would grant you the ability [Shapeshift]."
"[Shapeshift]? Is that like the 72 Transformations of Sun Wukong?"
"Ding! Very similar. But this skill only provides the transformation ability of the Monkey King."
"The main advantage of this special ability isn't just transforming to look like someone else, and unlike the Transformation Jutsu, it won't wear off if he's hit."
"Instead, it can conceal the Nine-Tails Chakra within him, making it undetectable even by highly perceptive shinobi."
Naruto grinned. He definitely wanted this, so he quickly said to the system, "System, use 100 points to buy a Skill Synthesis Scroll and create the [Shapeshift] ability!"
"Ding! The special ability [Shapeshift] has been created!"
"Ding! Congratulations! You have unlocked your first special ability, and have been awarded another [Skill Synthesis Scroll]!"
"Haha, the system is as awesome as ever!" Naruto laughed, scanning through his remaining skills.
"System, what would I get if I combined the Adamantine Sealing Chains with my sealing talent at the advanced level?"
"Ding! This combination would create the special ability [Immortal Binding Rope]."
"Huh? Sounds similar to the binding ropes from Journey to the West. Could it have the same kind of power?" Naruto thought for a moment, then said, "System, fuse them!"
"Ding! The special ability [Immortal Binding Rope] has been synthesized!"
Naruto suddenly felt a new memory and training experience appear in his mind. He extended his right hand, and a black-gold rope about a meter long manifested in his grip.
The rope was inscribed with complex, mysterious symbols. When he waved it forward, a wild boar passing through the nearby grass was instantly bound by the rope, unable to struggle or move.
"Haha, this [Immortal Binding Rope] has incredible power! Now I just need a real opponent to test it on."
At that moment, Naruto sensed three chakra signatures heading stealthily toward Konoha from the direction of the Wind Country.
"Shinobi from the Wind Country? Could this be connected to the upcoming Chūnin Exams?" Naruto recalled Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha.
"Could these unfamiliar chakra signatures belong to shinobi from the Hidden Sand Village coming to join the Konoha Destruction Plan?"
Thinking of this, Naruto grew eager. Wasn't this the perfect opportunity to practice his new abilities and earn some points?
He set up an ambush about a kilometer ahead of the enemy's path and marked the surrounding trees and ground with dozens of Flying Thunder God symbols.
In preparation for the Konoha Destruction Plan, the Hidden Sand Village had begun gathering over 200 elite shinobi to travel in waves to the Land of Fire, positioning themselves near Konoha.
Koizumi Satori was the leader of this group, a Jōnin accompanied by two elite Chūnin.
The three Sand Shinobi were thrilled at the chance to participate in the plan, eager to strike against the Hidden Leaf Village, an enemy their clan had faced for generations.
As they ran through the woods, dreaming of Konoha's downfall, a black-gold rope suddenly appeared above Koizumi's head, aiming to bind him.
Koizumi quickly used the Body Replacement Technique to dodge and regroup with his two elite Chūnin teammates, scanning for the source of the attack.
But there was nothing in sight.
"Stay alert!"
Koizumi shouted to his team, noticing that the black-gold rope had reappeared behind one of them.
But his warning came too late, and he could only watch as the rope wrapped tightly around his teammate, causing him to vanish.
Koizumi then saw a glimpse of the enemy—a woman in a black mask with fiery red hair.
This was Naruto, transformed into a masked woman using his Shapeshift ability.
With the Flying Thunder God Technique, he teleported behind his target, bound the elite Chūnin with the Immortal Binding Rope, and instantly transported them 10 kilometers away.
Once restrained by the Immortal Binding Rope, the Chūnin's chakra was completely suppressed, and he felt his strength fade away, like prey ensnared by a hunter.
Naruto swiftly ended him with a kunai, wiped away the blood, and immediately teleported back to Koizumi's location.
To Koizumi, the masked woman had reappeared just moments after his teammate disappeared.
The two remaining Sand Shinobi unleashed their ninjutsu, but before their attacks could reach, the woman vanished again.
And just as suddenly, she reappeared three meters behind Koizumi's other teammate.
Naruto flicked the black-gold rope forward. Though it seemed to be only a meter in length, it stretched to five meters, binding the elite Chūnin before he could escape.
Seeing this, Koizumi broke into a cold sweat. This enemy moved like a shadow, attacking with an unbreakable grip.
It was clear that this masked woman was a formidable predator.
