The ninjas recruited by Zhang Miao have personalities and preferences that align with their original counterparts from the Naruto storyline. So when Namikaze Naruto asked for ramen, Zhang Miao wasn't too surprised and rolled his eyes slightly.
"There's ramen in the village. I'll take you to eat your fill when the sun rises. Now, get up!"
"Alright!"
Upon hearing Zhang Miao's words, Namikaze Naruto happily rose and reverted from his glowing state to his standard form.
Seeing this, Zhang Miao raised an eyebrow.
"I was worried his appearance might attract too much attention. Since he can revert, that saves me a lot of trouble!"
With this thought, Zhang Miao deactivated his Sage of Six Paths mode and looked at Uchiha Sasuke, who was still kneeling on one knee.
"Alright, Sasuke, you get up too. I'll recruit three more people, and then we'll head back."
"Yes, Your Grace!"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Sasuke stood up, pulled Naruto aside, and made room.
Seeing how "considerate" Sasuke was, Zhang Miao nodded in satisfaction and then turned to the system to give further instructions.
"System, help me retrieve the ninja fragments for Senju Tobirama, Namikaze Minato, and Hatake Sakumo."
"Yes, Your Grace!"
The system immediately retrieved the required ninja fragments after hearing Zhang Miao's command.
Zhang Miao collected Namikaze Minato's ninja fragments through daily interactions, while Senju Tobirama's and Hatake Sakumo's fragments were obtained through draws using Sarutobi Hiruzen's and Kakashi's fragments.
These three were once the pillars of Konoha, and their ninja skills were exceptional. Despite possessing the Sage of Six Paths body, Zhang Miao didn't underestimate their ninja specialties.
"The Sage of Six Paths body is powerful, but I can't always use it for every little thing. Some conventional methods are still necessary!"
With this in mind, Zhang Miao thoughtfully selected the ninja specialties after recruiting Namikaze Minato, Senju Tobirama, and Hatake Sakumo.
Hatake Sakumo's swordsmanship had long been on Zhang Miao's wishlist, so he chose his swordsmanship specialty unhesitatingly.
Hatake Style Swordsmanship: Mastery in sword usage from Hatake Sakumo, with incredible power.
Note: Death is like the wind; it is always by my side!
Upon choosing this specialty, Zhang Miao was made to grin widely as all of Sakumo's sword techniques appeared in his mind.
"Haha, with this swordsmanship, my puppet 'Ten Swordsmen' will become even more formidable. Now, let's move on to the specialties of the two Hokage!"
Saying this, Zhang Miao began selecting the ninja specialties of Namikaze Minato and Senju Tobirama.
Namikaze Minato had three specialties: sealing techniques learned from Uzumaki Kushina, his own Rasengan, and the time-space ninjutsu—Flying Thunder God.
In the Naruto series, fans often say, "Anything with 'God' in its name is overpowered," the Flying Thunder God is no exception.
As the highest level of teleportation jutsu, the Flying Thunder God relies on a mark, which can be a character or a symbol chosen by the user.
Once the user leaves their mark, they can instantly move to the marked location. If the mark is on an enemy, it becomes a "death mark."
Though Zhang Miao didn't need such complexity to kill, he wouldn't pass up such a convenient jutsu.
"With this jutsu, I won't need to travel long distances; I can just teleport using the Flying Thunder God!"
With this intention, Zhang Miao chose Namikaze Minato's Flying Thunder God.
Compared to Minato, Senju Tobirama had more specialties, four.
The first specialty was his adept Water Style jutsu, including the powerful Water Style: Water Dragon Bite.
The second was his self-created forbidden jutsu—Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags. The third was another forbidden jutsu—Edo Tensei. The last one was also the Flying Thunder God.
These were all created by Tobirama, so after reviewing his specialties, Zhang Miao couldn't help but be impressed.
"No wonder he's the academic-type jutsu expert. Each specialty is top-notch, and two are forbidden jutsu. Too bad they're not useful to me."
With the Sage of Six Paths body, Zhang Miao could perform Fire, Wind, Water, Lightning, and Earth Style jutsu at will, so Tobirama's Water Style wasn't attractive to him.
It was even less necessary for Edo Tensei. Zhang Miao had recruited the original versions of Hashirama, Madara, Naruto, and Sasuke, all far superior to any reanimated versions.
Moreover, he could nullify Edo Tensei with a wave, making it uninteresting.
Having already obtained the Flying Thunder God from Minato, only Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags were left.
Explosive tags are a standard ninja tool used by all ranks, from Genin to Jonin, as a regular attack method.
Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags is different. It's more akin to a summoning jutsu than a regular technique.
When used, the first explosive tag summons more in a continuous, large-scale explosion, potentially engulfing the user. It's a technique for mutual destruction.
Therefore, it's classified as a forbidden jutsu due to its uncontrollable and hazardous nature.
When Tobirama created it, he intended to use it with Edo Tensei, utilizing the reanimated beings' "immortality" for the mutual destruction technique.
After Tobirama's death, Edo Tensei was banned for its inhumanity, rendering Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags unused.
No one dared to use it.
But Zhang Miao faced no such obstacles. With the Flying Thunder God, he could escape the blast range instantly.
Because of this, Zhang Miao chose "Forbidden Jutsu: Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags" from Tobirama's specialties.
After selecting the specialties from the three before him, Zhang Miao scratched his head and named them.
"You three are too well-known, so we need new names. From now on, Hatake Sakumo is Hatake Shigeru, Namikaze Minato is Namikaze Iron Gate, and Senju Tobirama is Senju Workshop!"
Before the three could respond, Zhang Miao waved to everyone present.
"Names are settled. Let's head back to the ninja village!"
