The man standing at the top of the ninja world

"Dong dong dong." Nagato stood in front of Uzumaki Mito's room door and knocked gently.

A second later, Uzumaki Mito's familiar voice came from the house.

"Please come in."

Nagato opened the door and walked in, seeing Mito Uzumaki sitting on the bed as usual.

Although Uzumaki Mito is in good health, she is already old after all. Apart from walking around Konoha every week, she spends most of her time in her room to rest.

After Nagato and the three of them settled here, she has become much more active than before.

"It's you, Nagato." Seeing Nagato come in, Uzumaki Mito showed a smile on his face and said gently: "Is there something wrong?"

Nagato walked up to Uzumaki Mito, looked into his eyes, and said, "Grandma Mito, I would like to ask you to teach me some new ninjutsu."

"Let me teach you a new ninjutsu" Uzumaki Mito looked at Nagato in surprise.

"That's right." Nagato nodded, "Grandma Mito, I have learned all the three kaya techniques you taught me before and used them very skillfully, and now my chakra amount has also increased a lot, so I think I You can learn new ninjutsu.”

"In our class, several students have already learned ninjutsu other than the Three Body Techniques. Although I entered school much later than them, I must surpass them and become the best student."

Nagato was telling the truth. There were many students from big families in his class, such as Uchiha Tatsuya and Hinata Hizatsu. They had already begun to practice fire escape and soft fist respectively, and the others were similar.

And Uzumaki Kushina can dominate the whole class, and she is no exception. Her chakra attributes are wind and water. As a member of the Uzumaki clan, she has no shortage of chakra. She has learned one type of wind type and one type of water type. technique.

"That's right." Uzumaki Mito nodded slightly. Nagato practiced in the Senju clan every day, so she was also very familiar with Nagato's progress. She knew that Nagato was telling the truth. It is indeed not difficult for a genius with the Samsara Eye.

And she was also very satisfied with Nagato's desire to surpass his classmates. Being competitive is sometimes not a bad thing.

Uzumaki Mito thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Nagato, in that case, I can teach you other ninjutsu."

"You have five chakra attributes. How about I teach you one of the Five Elements Ninjutsu and the basic escape technique?"

However, Nagato's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Uzumaki Mito. After listening to her words, Nagato slowly shook his head.

"Well, Grandma Mito." Nagato licked his lips and said, "Actually, I already have a ninjutsu that I want to learn."

Uzumaki Mito was stunned when he heard this, "You have already decided what ninjutsu you want to learn."

"Yes."

"Then what ninjutsu do you want to learn?"

"Grandma Mito, what I want to learn is the art of multiple shadow clones created by the Second Hokage."

"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu" Uzumaki Mito's face changed slightly, he looked at Nagato seriously and asked: "Nagato, how did you know that the Second Hokage knew such a ninjutsu?"

The first and second generations of Hokage have passed away a long time ago. Most of the children in Konoha Village know little about the deeds of the first two generations of Hokage. Not to mention the ninjutsu they were good at, few even know their names. Fujita Takuto is in the classroom The problem has already proven this.

Even these local students of Konoha Village are like this, so how could Nagato, who came to Konoha from the Land of Rain, know so much about the Ninjutsu of the Second Hokage?

Nagato's heart trembled, but he replied calmly on the surface: "I found out about it when I saw the books about the life of the Second Hokage in the library."

"The book records that the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is one of the Second-generation Hokage's unique skills. It is an advanced version of the Shadow Clone Technique. It can create many, many shadow clones at once. It has helped him defeat many shadow clones. enemy."

"That's it." After hearing Nagato's words, Uzumaki Mito breathed a sigh of relief.

Senju Tobirama is the leader of the Senju Clan and the Hokage. Naturally, there will be people in the Senju Clan who record his life. These materials are stored in the Senju Clan's library.

Nagato has been going to the library to read books for a month continuously, and he likes to read books about biographies of historical figures. In this case, it is not surprising that he saw some things about Senju Tobirama. .

Seeing Uzumaki Mito's face softening again, Nagato also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said silently, "Successful."

The reason why he persisted in going to the library to read before was to prepare for Uzumaki Mito's proposal to learn the art of multiple shadow clones.

Without the cover-up of the experience in the library, he would have no way of explaining why he knew that there were so many multiple clones in Senju Tobirama.

Hastily proposing to learn the art of multiple shadow clones will only make Uzumaki Mito and the Third Hokage suspicious of his life experience, and may even cause ninjas who are good at spiritual ninjutsu to check his memory, and then he will be finished.

In fact, on the third day after entering the library, Nagato found books recording Senju Tobirama's life. It listed in detail the various ninjutsu Senju Tobirama had used, including the art of multiple shadow clones.

But if he had made such a request at that time, it would have seemed too deliberate. Three days was too short, and it would probably also arouse the suspicion of Uzumaki Mito and the Third Hokage. For the sake of stability, he endured it for a month. Time, it was only now that I applied to Uzumaki Mito.

Judging from the current situation, his plan was successful, the month was not in vain, and Uzumaki Mito really believed his words.

"Nagato." Uzumaki Mito shook his head and said with a smile: "The multiple shadow clone jutsu is indeed a very powerful ninjutsu, but its ninjutsu level is as high as A level, and it is also a very dangerous forbidden jutsu."

"You have just become a ninja. Such dangerous ninjutsu is not suitable for you. You should learn some basic five element ninjutsu first."

"As for the art of multiple shadow clones, it won't be too late to learn it when you grow up."

No, it will be too late to learn when I grow up. By then, I won’t have so much leisure time to practice.

Nagato raised his head, looked at Uzumaki Mito with bright eyes, and said firmly: "Grandma Mito, the information records that the biggest feature of the multiple shadow clone technique is that it has a very large impact on the user's chakra amount. Require."

"I am a ninja from the Uzumaki clan. I have much more chakra than ordinary ninjas. I think the multi-shadow clone technique is the most suitable ninjutsu for me. I can definitely learn this technique."

"So, please teach me the art of multiple shadow clones."

"This" Uzumaki Mito looked at the determined expression on Nagato's face and couldn't help but fall into hesitation.

Although she does not know the art of multiple shadow clones, she is very familiar with this technique. Nagato is right. The reason why the art of multiple shadow clones is classified as a forbidden art is because of the amount of chakra it requires. It is so high that ordinary ninjas would commit suicide by learning this move, but ninjas with far greater chakra capacity than ordinary people can learn this move very quickly.

Nagato's chakra capacity is indeed far beyond that of ordinary people, even Uzumaki Mito himself was far inferior when he was the same age as Nagato.

After a moment of silence, Uzumaki Mito nodded, "Okay, I understand."

"However, Nagato, the art of multiple shadow clones is a forbidden art, and I have no right to teach it to you. It must be approved by the Hokage-sama."

"Yes, I understand." Nagato nodded.

He could also understand Uzumaki Mito's words. After all, this was an A-level ninjutsu. Even the third Hokage could not teach it directly to Naruto. He had to make a roundabout way so that Naruto could learn it by stealing. Uzumaki Mito was not very good at it. Maybe I gave it to him so casually.

However, Nagato believes that the Third Hokage will eventually agree to let him learn the art of multiple shadow clones. The reason is very simple, because the Third Hokage is also eager for him to become stronger as soon as possible.
