Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 101: A Supplementary Ticket, On Peace (10,000-word Update, Seeking Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)
Only after Genichi disappeared at the exit did the water ropes on Uchiha Tekka's body snap and fall, releasing the seal.

Watching the disappearing figure, Uchiha Tetsuka's expression returned to calm.

He accepted his defeat wholeheartedly!
The only thing they were unwilling to accept was that Genichi Kinoshita did not use their Uchiha Sharingan.

But this only further demonstrates Genichi's power.

A genius of genjutsu who surpasses the Uchiha clan... Uchiha Tetsuka used to scoff at this claim, but today he has to admit that he is inferior to Kinoshita Genichi.

……

After leaving the examination hall, Genichi Kishita did not leave immediately, but went to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

As for the battle with Uchiha Tekka, it was more of a performance than a real event.

In a real life-or-death struggle, there's no need for such complicated procedures.

But that doesn't mean Uchiha Tekka is bad.

Although he was only a Chunin, Uchiha Tetsuka, who had activated the three-tomoe Sharingan, actually possessed the strength of at least a Special Jonin.

Especially when dealing with illusions, don't be too carefree.

Having unlocked three tomoe and possessing the strength of a guaranteed Jonin is no exaggeration.

"The three tomoe are fine, but we still have to be careful with the genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan."

Genichi Shushita thought of Kakashi being instantly defeated by Itachi Uchiha.

The ability to create illusions needs further study, not only the ability to cast illusions, but also the ability to defend against and break illusions.

……

In the Hokage's office, after reporting on his duties, Genichi Kinoshita asked Hiruzen Sarutobi for permission to train in the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

He would be very happy if he could train a second Minato Namikaze.

Moreover, even if Genichi Kishita cannot master the Flying Thunder God Technique, his future achievements will definitely not be inferior to Minato Namikaze's.

all in all.

Genichi Shushita is worth investing resources in developing.

After half an hour.

Genichi Shushita left the Hokage Building with the Flying Thunder God scroll. He had already paid for the ticket, and soon he would be able to use the Flying Thunder God freely.

It will be quite surprising.

But the image of a genius is already firmly established, so it doesn't matter anymore.

After returning home and putting away the Flying Thunder God scroll, Genichi greeted his parents and then went out to Tsunade's house.

As expected, Tsunade and Shizune were both there.

"Xuanyi!"

Silent is very happy.

Tsunade glanced at it and said lazily, "I heard you were in the limelight?"

Shuxia Xuanyi smiled and said, "It's just an ordinary competition."

"Uchiha Tetsuka lost to me during the last Chunin Exams and was very dissatisfied. In addition, there's the claim that the Cloud Village has a genius genjutsu who surpasses the Uchiha... So, it's not that I'm deliberately being so arrogant."

Tsunade frowned slightly: "So, you think this might have been instructed by the Uchiha higher-ups?"

Genichi under the tree shook his head: "Not sure."

"But one thing is certain: this match has a significance that transcends its own, especially when I lost."

Tsunade nodded and fell into thought.

The Uchiha clan is a bit difficult to deal with.

She used to not care about these things at all, but now it's different.

Silent was somewhat confused by what she heard.

Genichi glanced at Tsunade, who was deep in thought, and immediately whispered an explanation in Shizune's ear.

Shizune opened her eyes wide, then covered her mouth.

I never imagined that such an ordinary challenge and sparring match would hide so much.

Seeing the two whispering intimately in each other's ears, Tsunade immediately snorted, "Genichi, you need to train Shizune's taijutsu more."

Genichi Shushita immediately nodded: "Yes, I also have such plans."

Shizune blushed and quickly said, "Lady Tsunade, I will take it seriously."

Tsunade waved her hand: "You can go now!"

Genichi Kishita smiled and invited, "Lady Tsunade, won't you go out for dinner together?"

"I'll treat you to barbecue."

"And wine..."

Tsunade swallowed hard, then nodded: "Alright, for Shizune's sake."

So the three of them went out together.

However, they weren't the only ones eating at the barbecue restaurant.

Minato Namikaze, Kushina Uzumaki, and Ina Uzumaki arrived together.

Sakumo Hatake and Kakashi together.

Ostensibly, it was to celebrate Genichi Koushi becoming a special Jonin, but in reality, it was a social gathering organized by Genichi Koushi himself.

For Tsunade to become Hokage, she needed a powerful backer or actual supporters.

Although she has prestige, she also needs to translate that prestige into tangible support.

All the dishes were served, and the wine was poured to the brim.

Genichi under the tree raised his glass: "Cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses.

Of course, Genichi, Shizune, and Kakashi were all drinking beverages.

"Xuan Yi, you'll be joining the Anbu starting tomorrow, right?"

Minato Namikaze asked.

Genichiro nodded: "Yes, Brother Minato."

Kushina Uzumaki said, "I heard the Anbu is extremely busy. The Third Hokage is really something, Genichi is only ten years old!"

Even so, her eyes held a hint of mockery.

Uzumaki Ina, standing next to her, couldn't help but blush again.

Minato Namikaze quickly replied, "The situation in the ninja world is tense recently, which is why we need more talented people."

Sakumo Hatake nodded.

This can be seen from the large number of students graduating early from the Ninja Academy in the past two years.

Because everyone felt that war was getting closer, they needed to let the students graduate early to gain experience.

It wasn't just about mass-producing troops; it was also about not wanting to rush students to the battlefield as cannon fodder before war broke out.

This is the best solution when all else fails.

Tsunade couldn't help but mutter, "These bastards in the ninja world, what are they up to again, always thinking about starting a war?" Sakumo Hatake and Minato Namikaze exchanged a wry smile, unsure how to answer the question.

Genichi under the tree, speaking without restraint, said: "Lady Tsunade, there are two kinds of people in this world."

"The first type is the person who diligently farms and produces their own food."

"The second type is people who don't want to produce their own food, or don't work hard enough, but don't want to have less food, so they go and steal food from others."

Everyone looked at Xuan Yi under the tree.

Genichi Shushita continued, "The resources in the entire ninja world are always unevenly distributed; some people have few, and some people have many."

"Some people are content with mediocrity, while others are not and have ambition."

Is war caused by hatred?

"No, hatred is a trivial thing."

"The easiest thing to forget is the conflict of interests, which is eternal!"

Tsunade and the others remained silent.

Genichi under the tree ate his grilled meat with a leisurely and contented expression.

Tsunade was itching to punch someone after watching this.

"So, Xuan Yi, you mean that peace cannot be achieved through peaceful means?"

An unexpected sound was inserted.

Everyone looked over and saw Jiraiya standing not far away.

"Jiraiya!"

"Jiraiya-sama!"

Everyone said hello.

"What a lively evening! Even Sakumo-senpai is here!"

"What a feast! It seems I've come at just the right time!"

Jiraiya smiled and stepped forward, sitting down next to Tsunade. He beckoned the waiter to bring him a glass, then unceremoniously snatched Tsunade's sake cup, filled it himself, and drank it all in one gulp. However, his gaze remained fixed on Genichi under the tree.

Tsunade sneered, "Jiraiya, you haven't improved at all outside. You're still as stupid as ever."

"Peace through peaceful means?"

"Are you dreaming?"

Minato Namikaze maintained an awkward smile.

Jiraiya didn't mind Tsunade's attitude at all and laughed, "Why is it impossible?"

"Wasn't Konoha established precisely because people put aside their hatred for each other?"

"As long as everyone understands each other, they can naturally put aside all prejudices and disputes and solve problems through discussion and negotiation."

"Hatred can be forgotten, and interests can be balanced."

"Just like the first generation ended the Warring States period."

Tsunade was silent.

She couldn't refute that.

Genichi Shushita said, "Lord Jiraiya, you don't actually believe that the chaos of the Warring States period ended because of negotiations and understanding, do you?"

"That's because the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha had enough strength. It was their strength that made the other major ninja clans unite and quickly establish ninja villages to fight against Konoha."

"It was also their formidable strength that forced the major ninja villages to sit down and negotiate."

"But it must be said that the first generation failed."

"After losing the First Hokage, the ninja world lost the deterrent of the strongest military force, and the First Shinobi World War broke out."

"The root cause of this war was not hatred, but a struggle for interests."

At that moment, both Sakumo Hatake and Minato Namikaze nodded secretly.

Jiraiya frowned, ate a piece of meat, and said, "That's why it shows that peace achieved by force is neither lasting nor can it achieve true peace. Only when everyone understands each other can it be achieved."

"Although it is difficult, I believe that someone will be able to do it in the future."

Did the future Naruto achieve this?
Without Black Zetsu's rescue of his mother and the crisis that threatened to destroy the ninja world, the Ninja Alliance could not have been established.

The peace that followed was also built upon the immense strength of Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha.

This is no different from what happened to Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha back then; it's a cycle of history repeating itself.

Mutual understanding is a utopia, something that can only be hoped for but never attained.

Genichi Kishita did not argue further, but instead asked, "Lord Jiraiya, if I were to kill you now, would you resist?"

Jiraiya was taken aback, then fell silent.

He understood what Genichi under the tree meant.

Genichi Kishita continued, "I want to kill Lady Tsunade. Do you understand?"

Tsunade couldn't help but purse her lips upon hearing this.

Kushina Uzumaki wanted to laugh, but quickly covered her mouth.

Genichi Kishita continued, "There is an enemy of Konoha whose parents were killed by Konoha ninjas. He wants to destroy Konoha. Can you understand that?"

"If you can't understand, then why should others understand you and give up their hatred?"

Jiraiya was already starting to find the grilled meat in his mouth no longer appealing.

Most importantly, he remembered three people.

Genichi under the tree said again, "Lord Jiraiya, there's someone who's starving to death and wants to steal your food. Can you understand that?"

Silently, she said, "Shouldn't it be okay to share some food with him?"

Jiraiya immediately smiled upon hearing this.

Shuxia Genichi said coldly, "He has eaten his fill of the food he was allocated, but considering that he still needs to eat in the future, he wants you to give him half of your property. Can you understand that?"

Shizune was stunned: "This...this is too much?"

Genichi smiled under the tree.

Is this considered excessive?

There are even more outrageous things that I haven't mentioned.

I want the goods, but I don't want to pay. What should I do?
Jiraiya was speechless after being retorted, and said helplessly, "Genichi, when did your mouth become so sharp?"

Genichi immediately softened his tone and smiled innocently, "Lord Jiraiya, please don't mind me. I'm just stating the facts."

Jiraiya ate his meat heartily while saying, "You bastard, this is my ninja way!"

Genichi Shushita laughed and said, "I suspect that you did this on purpose, Jiraiya-sama, just to eat a few more pieces of meat."

Everyone burst into laughter.

"That's right, you've eaten almost all the meat by yourself, Jiraiya-sama!"

Kushina Uzumaki immediately grabbed the meat and ate it.

This topic was left aside, and everyone started chatting while eating and drinking.
