Besides ninjutsu and the existing common ninja tools, this time he also drew Senbon, Sealing Tags, Blood Increasing Pills, Short Swords, and two Ninja Forehead Protectors.
The forehead protectors were from Konoha and Kirigakure.
Senbon, like Shuriken and Kunai, are common ninja tools. They are needle-like hidden weapons. Their characteristic is low lethality and difficulty in hitting acupuncture points. To increase lethality, most ninjas coat the needles with poison. Additionally, Senbon are considered sharp tools for bloodletting and essential medical instruments.
Short Swords need no introduction.
Blood Increasing Pills are convenient rations for ninjas to replenish blood on the battlefield. If he had drawn these earlier, he could have given some to Serena to taste.
Among the non-ninjutsu rewards this time, the only one Shane found cost-effective was the Sealing Tag. As the name suggests, Sealing Tags are charms with sealing and binding abilities. Used in the Fourth Great Ninja War to suppress the Reanimated Dead, their effect was excellent. If he encountered a supernatural creature he couldn't handle temporarily and couldn't use sealing jutsu on, Sealing Tags would come in very handy.
As for the ninjutsu category, the Fire Style, Earth Style, Water Style, and Wind Style techniques weren't particularly outstanding. They were almost all common techniques within their respective elements. He'd have a chance to verify their effects on the battlefield later. The only ones Shane truly intended to study seriously were Mind Transfer Jutsu and Dance of the Shikigami.
Dance of the Shikigami: dancing butterflies perform ever-changing, magnificent "paper techniques"!
It allows the user to infuse chakra into paper, controlling the paper for attack, defense, reconnaissance, and various other tasks. At the same time, the user can transform their body into paper at any time to achieve immunity to physical attacks. However, this constantly consumes chakra. Once chakra is exhausted, the jutsu dispels. Also, if soaked in oil, the paper transformation cannot proceed smoothly.
Simply put, it's controlling paper and transforming oneself into paper via chakra to change form.
Konan's "Angel Form" is a manifestation of changing body shape after paper transformation. In Angel Form, Konan gains a pair of paper wings on her back, allowing her to fly freely. But if you look closely, you'll find that Konan has no legs under her Akatsuki cloak in this form.
Rustle, rustle...
The sound of sliding paper rang out in the car. Anna, who was driving, glanced back inadvertently and instantly slammed on the brakes.
Screech. The car stopped in an instant.
Olivia, who was concentrating on cultivating the Chakra Refining Method, was interrupted. Thinking something happened, she opened her eyes only to see Anna looking behind her as if she'd seen a ghost. Olivia turned to look back, and then... she saw a ghost too.
Shane's face and body seemed to turn into a paper man made of stacked paper. Sheets of white paper began to peel off his face and body. In the blink of an eye, a living person of flesh and blood turned into fluttering sheets of paper and flew out the car window.
Olivia and Anna hurried to the window to look. They saw the fluttering paper in mid-air begin to reassemble. Before long, Shane's body reappeared from the stacked paper.
Under the sunlight, a pair of pure white "paper" wings appeared on Shane's back. The wings spread open. At this moment, Shane gave off an incomparably holy and noble feeling, like an angel!
Uh, if Olivia and Anna actually saw an angel, they would know that the angels they could see basically didn't have wings. Especially the angels in Supernatural, who only used human bodies as vessels. The most common sign was just the shadow of wings left behind after death.
Also, not all angels are holy.
"This feeling of flight, this feeling of freedom! In the sky sprinkled with fresh blood, dancing against the wind."
Shane didn't belt out Brave Heart, but his mood was equally excited. The paper wings on his back felt like part of his body. He spread his wings freely under the sunlight, in the sky, soaring with the wind at will.
The breeze blew against his face, the wind whistling.
The feeling of flying was awesome!
Shane looked up and charged upward, flapping his huge white paper wings vigorously. Olivia and Anna had already gotten out of the car, looking up at the figure becoming smaller and smaller in the sky, until finally... he disappeared.
"What is... this situation?" Olivia muttered, asking Anna.
Suddenly Shane turned into a paper man, then from a paper man into an angel with wings? And then, he flew away???
Olivia was confused. Anna was confused too.
Just as the two looked at each other, faces full of confusion, a black dot appeared in the sky. Then the black dot grew larger and larger. Shane dove down at super speed. Almost as soon as they noticed him, he was already in front of them.
Whoosh—
Person stops, wind moves.
Shane stopped in front of Olivia and Anna, but the wind generated roared out instantly, directly knocking the unprepared pair over.
Anna, who flew out, turned quickly and landed, stabilizing her body. Olivia wasn't so lucky. She flew back several steps and then fell toward the ground.
Rustle, rustle...
Paper slid. Sheets of paper transformed into arms and caught Olivia. The still-shaken Olivia looked up to see sheets of paper stacking up to form Shane's appearance.
