Chapter 68: The Third Hokage: If there really were three jonin...

The Uchiha clan leader's residence.

Uchiha Fugaku, who rarely worked until eight o'clock in the evening, heard a surprise five minutes after he returned home.

Itachi told him everything about what Makoto had taught him during his time.

"Yes, this is obviously an S-level composite ninjutsu. It seems that even though Makoto-kun is reluctant to acknowledge his ancestors for some reason, he still does not regard the Uchiha as outsiders."

In Fugaku's opinion, a compound ninjutsu like this is undoubtedly extremely precious. Not to mention the entire set of moves, just the authorization of a Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique would allow Fugaku to directly judge the person as "one of his own".

"Unwilling to acknowledge your ancestors?" Itachi asked puzzled, and Fugaku immediately gave an answer.

"The Uchiha brothers and sisters are not just the blood of the Uchiha clan. They are different from ordinary branch family members like Izumi, because their ancestor is a very special person. His name is Uchiha Madara."

"What? Isn't this the legendary..." Itachi widened his eyes. Uchiha Madara, that is a truly legendary ninja.

"I originally thought that Shinko-senpai just had the same name as Uchiha Madara, but I didn't expect there was such a connection..."

"Yes, that legendary strongest Uchiha ninja is also the founder of Konoha and the previous head of the Uchiha clan. To be honest, if he had not left Konoha, perhaps the one sitting on the position of head of the Uchiha clan now would be Shinko-kun's father or grandfather."

Fugaku didn't think that Shinji and Uchiha Madara were only two generations apart. After all, there was the granddaughter of the First Hokage who was almost forty years old as a benchmark for comparison.

"Makoto-kun, if nothing unexpected happens, he should be the great-great-grandson of Uchiha Madara. Even in terms of fighting style, this Makoto-kun is very similar to the recorded Uchiha Madara. It is also because he inherited Uchiha Madara's talents and skills that Makoto-kun has the strength far beyond that of an ordinary 'Kage' at the age of only twelve..."

At this moment, Fugaku looked at his eldest son in front of him and showed a rare gratified smile, "However, I think my son is equally good, no matter which one he is."

In Fugaku's opinion, although his eldest son is only 6 years old, he has already shown extremely outstanding talent. As for Sasuke, although he is less than half a year old, he doesn't know if it is because of his desire for his son to become successful, he just feels that his youngest son will achieve great things in the future.

After hearing his father's rare direct praise, Itachi looked embarrassed, and after hearing his father praising his younger brother as well, he felt even happier.

"Don't worry, father. I will never let you down."

"I am looking forward."

-

The next morning.

There happened to be no classes at the Ninja School today, so Izuna was taken to a training ground by Shinji.

"How about it, Izuna, can you sense the fluctuations in space?"

In order to test his sister's spatial perception ability, Shinji repeatedly summoned the small snakes in the Ryuchi Cave five times, but as he expected, Izuna gave the answer of "no feeling at all".

"Hmm...Isn't Izuna really useless..."

"That's not the case. Or rather, this is the normal situation. I don't think anyone can be born with the ability to sense spatial fluctuations. Even a genius like the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, according to records, practiced for several years before he truly learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. Next..."

Shincod used the summoning technique again. This time, he summoned a huge scroll. "This is the summoning scroll of the Ryuchi Cave, one of the three holy places in the ninja world. After signing it, Izuna, you can summon these snakes to help you in your daily life and battles."

Looking at the little snakes, Izuna asked, "Are these the super-smart snakes that can talk?"

Izuna had seen these snakes that Manako summoned at home many times. She was a little scared at first, but when she found that the snakes could talk and looked very honest, she gradually became familiar with them.

"Yes, that's them... they bit their fingers and wrote their names on them with blood."

"Hmm, it hurts a bit... eh?"

As soon as she finished writing her name, Izunai found a green light shining on her fingers, and then the small wound on her fingers disappeared immediately.

"This is the Palm Sage Technique, an A-level medical ninjutsu. The principle is to increase the healing ability of wounds or affected areas by outputting chakra. I went to the Konoha Hospital and took a look with my Mangekyō Sharingan... Ahem, this is not important. Anyway, I will arrange two special trainings for you. This contract is the prerequisite for one of the special trainings. However, this special training can only begin after I find someone to carve out a certain technique."

"As for the other special training, it also has a threshold. Before starting the special training, you must learn half of the sealing technique."

"Half a sealing technique?" Izumi didn't understand. "It is mentioned in the sealing technique textbook. The move used by the Fourth Hokage to seal the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox is a sealing technique, but what is a half sealing technique?"

"As we all know, the rune formula of the sealing technique is an important part of the sealing technique. A skilled master of the sealing technique often has the ability to press extremely complex sealing formulas with just a tap. This is essentially a process of converting chakra into special 'pictures' and 'words'. What you have to learn now, Izuna, is 'drawing' and 'writing'. You don't have to master the real sealing technique, but you must learn to draw and write with chakra. To do this, you need another prerequisite skill - the fine manipulation of chakra."

"Oh! I've heard about this from Mr. Funano, but..." Izuna drooped again, "He didn't teach us how to improve our abilities in this area."

"After all, this is usually an advanced course that you can only learn after becoming a real ninja. Normally, if your future team leader is an experienced jonin, he will probably teach you, but since we have a ninja like me in the family, we must not lose at the starting line." Then, Zhen Cod gave an example.

"There are many ways to practice chakra manipulation in theory. The two methods I know of are 'tree climbing' and 'walking on water'. Note that this is not ordinary tree climbing and water walking, but 'walking' directly on the tree without relying on the hands, and stepping directly on the lake without falling into it."

"Without relying on your hands, just walk on the tree?"

Seeing that Izuna seemed to be imagining what the scene would be like, Shinji decided to demonstrate it to her sister on the spot.

"Wood Release: Violent Spear Tree."

In an instant, a giant tree as high as 150 meters rose from the ground, and then Zhen Cod jumped lightly and "stood" on the trunk of the tree in a way that the body was parallel to the ground, and then walked up and down a few steps, and even turned around.

"That's about it. To do this, you need to continuously concentrate an appropriate amount of chakra on your feet. If you output too much, you might damage the bark and fall off along with it. If you output too little, you will fall off directly."

Then, Zhen Cod jumped down. "By the way, because of the chakra manipulation ability you showed before, I have increased the difficulty of this tree climbing training. Although this tree looks tall and mighty, it is actually like this..."

After Izuna finally recovered from her shock, Mancod walked to the giant tree and poked it gently with his finger. Then, obvious holes appeared on the bark of the tree.

"Hey, hey, hey? How can the bark be so brittle! Even paper is not so brittle!" Izuna walked under the tree, then pressed it with her palm using chakra. As a result, it broke directly after a little force, but after a few seconds, the broken part of the bark grew back again.

"If it is stepped on, the broken part will automatically repair itself after a few seconds. As for falling from a high altitude..." Zhen Cod calculated, 'Falling from a hundred meters is not a problem for a ninja, but considering that he has been training for a long time, he may not have enough chakra...'

"The art of shadow clone."

"Okay, that's all for now. Come on, Izuna! I'm going to find someone to research your other training." A small snake appeared on Manako's shoulder, and then accompanied by a puff of smoke, Manako's body, along with the snake, disappeared here.

"Well, my lovely Ichimodo, it's time to start training~" Although he was assigned a job of standing still, the shadow clone's work enthusiasm was very high. Obviously, as the shadow clone of Shincod, he has the same characteristics as the original body.

"Okay! Then, Izuna will start training!"

Facing the towering tree whose top seemed as far as the eye could see, Izunai rushed up suddenly.

An hour later, the Hokage Building.

"What! Shin Cod used Wood Release!" Sarutobi Hiruzen stood up immediately in a hurry. After thinking for a second, he suspected Orochimaru of this matter.

"Where is Orochimaru now?"

"This..." The Anbu ninja was somewhat helpless. How could he know where Orochimaru was exactly, but he couldn't just answer 'in Konoha'.

Seeing the silence of the Anbu ninja, Sarutobi Hiruzen also sighed, "These kids are obviously old, why are they still so worrying? Oh..."

"However, a Wood Release technique that is over a hundred meters high... and the results came out so quickly, could it be that Orochimaru has really mastered this technique in private?"

If there is a choice, then Sarutobi Hiruzen would naturally still hope that Konoha can have more Wood Release Ninjas. 'I hope it's not a price that will lead to sacrifice. If it's just money, then it's no big deal...'

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked to a map. On the map, he had circled an area in the Land of Fire and close to the Land of Lightning with a red pen.

During this period, the Land of Lightning was frequently harassing this area. Although there was no real large-scale conflict, it was clear that the Hidden Cloud Village had no intention of letting Konoha have an easy time.

'Do you want to destroy this hard-earned peace?'

Sarutobi Hiruzen fell into deep thought. If they were short of money, the fastest way would be to use war to plunder. Especially after the death of Namikaze Minato, the other big ninja villages were not making any moves, so the Hidden Cloud Village was here to take advantage of the situation.

The actual reason why the villages did not harass Konoha at this time:

Iwagakure Village: Coward.

Sand Village: Vegetables.

The Hidden Mist Village: Vegetables.

'Makoto is a good kid. I'm afraid he doesn't want to get involved in dark things like war. I don't know if he will participate in the war against Kumogakure. If he is willing to take action, Konoha will probably win soon.'

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that under extreme circumstances, Orochimaru and Shinko could directly eliminate the troops of the Hidden Cloud Village. Even if the Raikage and the Two-Tails and Eight-Tails Jinchuriki came, there was nothing to be afraid of. 'Perhaps Shinko has inherited the means to control the tailed beasts from his ancestor Uchiha Madara... Not to mention that Shinko has also learned Wood Release.'

"It's not a good idea to continue being harassed like this. We must not let the Hidden Cloud Village bully the Konoha that Minato swore to protect until his death while his body is still warm."

Unlike the original world line, at this time Sarutobi Hiruzen actually has a certain confidence in fighting against Kumogakure. On the one hand, there is Shin Cod, and on the other hand, there is Orochimaru who has been particularly active recently.

Although he still rarely sees him, Orochimaru's recent spending list makes him, as a Hokage, jealous.

"Is it because he has a powerful student that he doesn't want to fall behind? But where did Orochimaru get so much money? Did he secretly steal money from other ninja villages without my knowledge?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen racked his brains but couldn't figure out where Orochimaru got the money, but he had been spending money particularly lavishly lately.

Besides, there is one more thing.

"If only the contents of the contract regarding the three thousand jonin were true..."

If there were 3,000 jonin, Sarutobi Hiruzen would have declared war on Kumogakure on the same day, held a celebration banquet at the Raikage Building within a week, welcomed the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails back to Konoha, and moved all the secret arts and technologies of the Kumogakure Village away, and forced the stronger bloodline limit families to move to Konoha...

As for peace? Peace is only possible when the two sides are evenly matched. If Konoha suddenly adds 3,000 jonin, why bother talking to Kumogakure? Sarutobi Hiruzen is a good guy, but at his age, he doesn't have any lofty ideals for world peace. He just needs to help his own village first.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has lived to this age, knows one thing very well: even if he does something similar to what the First Hokage did when he distributed the tailed beasts, the children in other villages will never call him Grandpa Hokage, because they are not family.

"Huh... Unfortunately, this is just my fantasy after all. Those three hundred ninjas should be the limit."

Ideals are full, but reality is very skinny. If Konoha wants to fight against Kumogakure at this moment, the key points are basically on Orochimaru and Shinko, and the latter is the most important.

"Let's go to Zhen Cod's house tonight."

He had to think about how to convince a gentle, kind and sensitive boy to participate in the war.
