Chapter 88 The Water Mirror Technique (Seeking subscriptions and monthly votes)

Back on the ship, Genichi Shushita, to Fei Yun's astonishment, took out a variety of instruments and began to draw blood and bone marrow from Hozuki Seigatsu in turn.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke was also very surprised.

After finishing, Genichi Kinoshita turned around and smiled: "Shinnosuke-senpai, as you know, I'm also a medical ninja, and I often do experiments with Lady Tsunade, so this makes perfect sense!"

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Shinnosuke couldn't help but smile and nod repeatedly: "That makes sense, absolutely right!"

Feiyun couldn't help but ask, "Xuanyi, is there anything you can't do?"

Genichi under the tree finished packing his things and stood up: "There's a lot I don't know."

"I don't know Earth Release, Lightning Release, or Fire Release."

Feiyun looked at Sarutobi Shinnosuke speechlessly.

Is this guy really nine years old?

Sarutobi Shinnosuke laughed and said, "Feiyun, Genichi is known by the Cloud Ninja as a genius of genjutsu who surpasses the Uchiha."

"The Third Hokage once said that Genichi's water jutsu surpassed that of the Second Hokage."

Feiyun was shocked once again.

He had heard of the former, but this was the first time he had heard of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi's, evaluation.

At this moment, Hozuki Seigatsu spoke up: "You are Koushi Genichi, you are not from the Uchiha clan?"

He had heard of Genichi Shushita's name.

After all, he was wanted by the Hidden Cloud Village and was touted as a genius of genjutsu who surpassed the Uchiha clan.

I never expected that he would have Sharingan.

hateful!

If he had known he was facing Genichi Kinoshita, he would never have fallen for the illusion so easily.

Genichi Shushita ignored Hozuki Seigaku and turned to hypnotize him.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke asked, "Genichi, are you coming back to the village with us?"

Genichi Shushita shook his head: "No, I still have things to do."

"Seniors, I'll leave this guy to you. I'll head back now."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke didn't say much, just nodded in agreement.

Xuan Yi immediately formed a hand seal, summoning the tiger-headed eagle from the sky. He leaped onto the eagle's back and said, "Senior, see you back in the village!"

After saying this, the tiger-headed eagle flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke and his companion watched the tiger-headed eagle fly away at high speed. After withdrawing his gaze, Feiyun turned to ask, "Shinnosuke, this guy doesn't look like he's the same age as Asuma at all!"

In Fei Yun's opinion, Genichi Shushita should be about the same age as Shinnosuke Sarutobi.

Sarutobi Shinnosuke laughed and said, "Geniuses are different, of course."

He's about five years older than Genichi and the others!
Feiyun shook his head: "You're a genius too, but it's not that exaggerated."

Sarutobi Shinnosuke smiled but didn't say anything, though he actually shared the same feelings as Hiyun.

It's a bit of an exaggeration that Hozuki Shogetsu, a Jonin from Kirigakure who even he found troublesome, was easily captured by Genichi Koushi using genjutsu.

Previously, he thought that the claim of being a genius in genjutsu surpassing the Uchiha clan was just a deliberate attempt by the Cloud Ninja to exaggerate and sow discord. Now, Sarutobi Shinnosuke thinks that the title might actually be true.

……

On the back of the tiger-headed eagle, Genichi sat cross-legged under the tree, pondering the Water Mirror Technique that Hozuki Seigetsu had previously used.

This technique had only appeared once in his memories from his previous life.

That was the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura, fighting against Naruto in his golden form and Killer Bee.

They even copied the tailed beast's chakra, which is outrageous.

Of course, this is not a true copy. Having experienced it firsthand, Genichi Shushita realized that this technique had similarities with his own Mirror Flower Water Moon.

That is the point reflected in the changes in the nature of Water Release.

Genichi Shushita constructs an extremely realistic illusion through reflections to compensate for his lack of control over his five senses.

The Water Mirror Technique also utilizes this principle of reflection.

Previously, Hozuki Shogetsu did not use hand seals when using the Water Mirror Technique, but the Sharingan's copying ninjutsu relies on more than just copying hand seals.

Even forming hand seals is just one crucial step.

The more crucial element is actually the change in chakra within the body when performing ninjutsu.

The Sharingan's perceptive abilities, including dynamic vision, are only a superficial aspect; its core lies in its ability to perceive chakra. To be able to perform ninjutsu simply by memorizing hand seals is the mark of a genius among geniuses.

Moreover, even the most talented among geniuses cannot simply copy an A-rank ninjutsu by relying solely on hand seals.

In ninjutsu, hand seals are not necessary, but nature transformation is fundamental.

Therefore, the key to copying ninjutsu lies in the manipulation of chakra.

This is why Kakashi was able to replicate the Water Dragon Bullet Technique with his Sharingan while fighting Zabuza Momochi, achieving a synchronized attack despite being delayed.

It's not as simple as just copying hand seals.

Therefore, Hozuki Seigatsu's failure to perform the Water Mirror Technique by forming hand seals did not have a significant impact on Genichi Koushi.

Without the aid of hand seals, at most it would give him more time to ponder the mysteries of chakra transformation.

Unfortunately, the Water Transformation Technique cannot be copied with the Sharingan.

Because the time for the body to switch between water and energy was too short, not only were there no hand seals formed, but the insight into the internal changes of chakra was also far from sufficient, so it could not be replicated.

Furthermore, Genichi Shushita also realized that the water-escape nature changes contained in the secret technique of water transformation were different from the water-escape nature changes that were usually mastered.

He speculated that the reason why the Sharingan cannot replicate various secret ninjutsu lies in its unique nature in terms of transformation.

For example, the Nara clan's shadow techniques belong to Yin Release, but the nature of regular Yin Release is obviously different.

The Mountain Clan's Mind Transfer Technique also belongs to the Yin Release nature of transformation, but it is not a genjutsu. Instead, it has many similarities with the S-rank ninjutsu Spirit Transformation Technique, and they are similar in effect.

The same principle applies to the Akimichi clan's Multiply Technique.

Whether it's ninjutsu or genjutsu.

The prerequisite for implementation is to first grasp the nature of change; this is fundamental.

The same principle applies to Sharingan copying!

Back home, Xuan Yi let the tiger-headed eagle hunt for food while he returned to his study to continue studying the Water Mirror Technique.

He thought this technique was excellent and worth replicating.

Before we knew it, the new year had arrived. 45 years of Konoha have passed, and we are now welcoming 46 years of Konoha.

It has been almost five years since Genichi under the tree awakened his hidden wisdom.

The town was bustling on the first day of the new year. Genichi Shushita, who was taking a rare break from his training, strolled around the town with Ina Uzumaki, enjoying the vibrant atmosphere.

Konoha Village.

Jingyin leaned against the pillar, gazing blankly at the fireworks blooming in the sky.

Tsunade, with her arms crossed, chuckled, "That guy's perfectly safe, don't worry!"

Shizune snapped out of her daze and asked with some delight, "Lady Tsunade, do you have any news about Genichi?"

Tsunade nodded slightly: "Shinnosuke Sarutobi came back a couple of days ago and said he ran into him in the East Blue."

Jingyin breathed a sigh of relief, but the longing in her heart surged even more fiercely like a tidal wave.

"Shizune, Shizune!"

There was a sound outside.

Shizune looked at Tsunade: "It's Rin!"

Tsunade waved her hand: "Go!"

Silently nodded, then dashed out the door.

Outside, not only Nohara Rin was there, but also Yuhi Kurenai, Sarutobi Asuma, Kakashi, Might Guy, and the others, all gathered together at that moment.

Now that they've graduated from the Ninja Academy, it's quite a rare occasion for Nohara Rin and the others to get together.

After exchanging greetings, Hiasuma Sarutobi asked, "Shizune, have you heard about Genichi's news?"

Shizune nodded and smiled, "I just heard Lady Tsunade mention that he's traveling in the East Blue!"

Matt Kai said, "East Sea, going to such a far place. Speaking of which, if we take on a mission there next time, will we run into Xuan Yi?"

As he spoke, Matt Kai began to seriously ponder, stroking his chin.

Genma Shiranui said lazily, "Kai, the probability of that is too low."

"But Asuma, what's the situation with Xuan Yi?"

Sarutobi Asuma said, "My older brother met him while on a mission, and I heard he's become even stronger!"

Ebisu pushed up his sunglasses: "I'm wondering if he'll become the youngest Jonin in Konoha's history!"
