The man standing at the top of the ninja world

Konoha, Naruto Office.

After listening to Nagato's words, although Uzumaki Mito had some thoughts, he still did not decide on his own whether to teach Nagato the art of multiple shadow clones.

This was not a D-level or C-level basic Ninjutsu, but an advanced Ninjutsu up to A-level. It was a forbidden art that could be collected in the Book of Sealings. It was of great importance and she had to discuss it with the Hokage.

And this matter was not suitable to be conveyed in letters, so Uzumaki Mito personally came to the Hokage's office to find the Third Hokage and explained the matter to him.

"What, Mito-sama, you mean, Nagato proposed to learn the art of multiple shadow clones." After listening to Uzumaki Mito's explanation of his purpose, the Third Hokage was suddenly a little surprised.

Uzumaki Mito nodded, "Yes, Hiruzen, this kid Nagato saw the record of Tobirama using the multiple shadow clone technique in the library of the Senju clan, and knew that this is a kind of chakra that has a lot of power." It is a demanding ninjutsu, and he himself happens to have a far greater amount of chakra than an ordinary person, so he felt that this technique was very suitable for him, so he asked me to learn the art of multiple shadow clones."

"This..." The Third Hokage couldn't help but hesitate.

The first reaction that came to his mind was rejection. Multiple shadow clones are forbidden techniques. No matter how you look at them, they are not suitable for a child who is only seven years old and is not even a genin to learn. However, the Third Hokage thought about it again and realized what Nagato said. There is some truth to this. This is indeed a ninjutsu that is very consistent with Nagato's.

"Mito-sama." After thinking for a few seconds, he looked at Uzumaki Mito and asked, "Do you think Nagato can learn the art of multiple shadow clones now?"

The Third Hokage felt that before making a decision, Uzumaki Mito should be consulted for his opinion. After all, Uzumaki Mito is Nagato's guardian. He gets along with Nagato day and night, and he is also a member of the Uzumaki clan, so he is more powerful than him. Know Nagato’s situation.

Uzumaki Mito had obviously expected this question from the Third Hokage before she came. She pondered for a moment before answering directly: "Hiruzhan, I used the Sensing Ninjutsu to detect the chakra on the day Nagato refined it. His chakra turned out to be astonishing, I think even Tobirama, who created the multiple shadow clone technique, probably wouldn't have had so much chakra at his age."

"So I think Nagato should be able to learn the art of multiple shadow clones."

The reason is very simple. Although the art of multiple shadow clones is a forbidden art, it is not very difficult to learn. The only difficulty is that the requirements for the caster's chakra are too high. Learning this art with the chakra amount of an ordinary ninja The risk is extremely high, but Nagato has a fairy body, and his aptitude is among the best among the Uzumaki clan, and his chakra amount is far beyond that of ordinary people, so in theory he should not be in any danger.

"Okay." After listening to Uzumaki Mito's words, the Third Hokage thought about it for a few seconds and finally nodded.

"In that case, Mito-sama, please give Nagato the ninjutsu scroll recording the multiple shadow clone technique tomorrow."

After saying that, the Third Hokage sighed, with a look of nostalgia on his face, "The art of multiple shadow clones is one of the teacher's special skills. It's a pity that Danzo, Men Yan and I can't learn this trick, so that multiple shadow clones can be It would be a blessing if Nagato could learn it after the teacher died and disappeared in Konoha."

Uzumaki Mito nodded lightly, "I understand."

In a few words, the Third Hokage and Uzumaki Mito decided on the ownership of an A-level ninjutsu.

But in fact, for ordinary ninjas in Konoha, it is not so easy to learn ninjutsu.

In Konoha, there are generally four ways to acquire new ninjutsu. The first is family inheritance, the second is inheritance from a teacher, the third is self-creation, and the last is to apply to the Hokage.

Not to mention the first three, the last one, if you want to apply to the Hokage to learn ninjutsu, you must make enough contributions to Konoha. Generally speaking, if you want to learn an A-level ninjutsu, the required contribution is at least It would take ten A-level missions to get enough.

Orochimaru relied on his victory over the Rain Country to make enough contributions for him to learn the ninjutsu in the Sealed Book.

But there are exceptions to everything. Geniuses are privileged no matter where they are. The Third Hokage hopes that Nagato will grow up to become an invincible strongman like Senju Hashirama and become the new protector of Konoha. , Naturally, he would not set up obstacles for Nagato in this kind of matter.

And this can also improve Nagato's sense of belonging to Konoha.

The reason why he hesitated just now was not because he was considering his contribution, but because he was worried that Nagato was too weak at the moment and would suffer the consequences if he learned forbidden techniques. Since he no longer had this concern, he had nothing to hesitate about. .

The next day.

After returning from the ninja school in the afternoon, Nagato refined chakra with Yahiko Konan as usual.

After refining the chakra, he originally wanted to continue reading in the library. Although he had achieved his goal, if he stopped reading immediately, it would seem a bit deliberate, and at least he would have to persist for a while longer.

But at this moment, Uzumaki Mito came out and called him into the house.

After following Mito Uzumaki into the house, Nagato asked curiously: "Grandma Mito, what's the matter?"

"Nagato." Uzumaki Mito took out a golden ninjutsu scroll, handed it to Nagato, and said softly: "I have discussed it with Lord Hokage, and he has agreed to your request. This scroll It contains the art of multiple shadow clones."

After receiving the ninjutsu scroll, Nagato had a look of joy on his face. Although he had expected that Uzumaki Mito would agree to him learning the multiple shadow clone technique, when he actually obtained it, he still couldn't suppress his excitement.

And this is more in line with his age. He is only a seven-year-old child now, and it is unlikely that he will be as emotionless as an adult.

Nagato looked at Uzumaki Mito and said excitedly: "Mito-sama, thank you and Hokage-sama, don't worry, I will definitely work hard to learn the art of multiple shadow clones."

"I believe you." Uzumaki Mito smiled and nodded, and then warned: "But Nagato, you don't have to be too impatient. Learning ninjutsu should be done step by step. Being too impatient will be harmful."

"Ah."

......

Without further ado, after coming out of Uzumaki Mito's room, Nagato was eager to practice the multiple shadow clone technique, but he did not intend to practice this technique in the Senju Clan's residence.

As mentioned before, the Senju Clan's station is on the edge of Konoha, and the periphery is the forest area of ​​Konoha. Nagato walked directly out of the Senju Clan's station and entered the forest.
