Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Unless it's a physical method like cutting away flesh, Tobirama Senju had never seen an enemy with the Flying Thunder God mark that could be removed by any other means...

The only possibility that Qing Shui could have done it is that during the short time he possessed the body, in a state of extreme confusion, he learned the Flying Thunder God Technique through muscle memory!

After all, as long as one masters the Flying Thunder God Technique and has some knowledge of sealing techniques, removing the Flying Thunder God mark is no longer a difficult task.

but…

What an incredible talent!

The inventor of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Tobirama Senju, was the one who knew best how difficult it was to master.

Qing Shui only used it during his berserk moments. Once he regained his senses, he was able to learn it and even reached the point where he could apply it to other situations and remove the Flying Thunder God mark!

But considering that Qing Shui was the reincarnation of his and Uchiha Izuna's chakra, Tobirama Senju was somewhat relieved.

Aokiji slowly shook his head: "Tobirama, what about the Flying Thunder God Technique?"

"It's unstable, still not stable enough. Have you forgotten?"

"You should know better than I how the original developer of the Flying Thunder God Technique was surrounded and killed..."

Tobirama Senju's lips twitched, and he muttered under his breath, "Who knew those two bastards would have something like the Six Paths Noble Phantasm! And unexpectedly, they became the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. I'm just a mortal..."

Aokiji raised an eyebrow and teased, "So, Tobirama-sama is saying that 'first meeting kill' is the least valuable thing?"

Tobirama Senju was about to nod.

If he were to fight Kinkaku and Ginkaku again, even without knowing that they would become similar Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Tobirama Senju did not think he would lose!

But something seems off...

"A kill at first sight can still have some value under certain circumstances..." Tobirama Senju muttered to himself, but his confidence was not very strong.

Under the influence of "Tobirama's Power," Izuna's eye power, nurtured within Tobirama Senju's soul, seemed to have overheard this conversation, and it visibly surged upwards, almost as if in defiance...

Tobirama Senju's face darkened.

In the past, he would have definitely accepted Qingshui's power without hesitation and ruthlessly suppressed Uchiha Izuna!

But the problem is-

This is a very sensitive time. Although Qing Shui keeps saying that he believes in him, does he really not have any reservations in his heart?

If we deliberately suppress Uchiha Izuna's eye power, wouldn't that be like the third step of the five-step method that Aozumi mentioned, forcing him to accept only his own power?

Tobirama Senju sighed. With Aozumi repeating it so often, even someone as clueless about emotions as him could remember the five-step method…

"Uchiha Izuna, I'll settle this score with you later!" Tobirama Senju watched as Izuna's eye power surged, his teeth grinding together in fury, but he was utterly helpless...

After all, if we lose Qingshui's trust, we'll fall into Uchiha Izuna's trap!

Let you be smug for a while.

I, Tobirama Senju, will never fall for Izuna Uchiha's tricks!

"Tobirama, I'm not saying the Flying Thunder God Technique is useless."

Aokiji patted Tobirama on the shoulder and said seriously, "I was just thinking that ninjas are just too fragile..."

"Just like Minato Namikaze's fighting style, he could defeat most of the ninjas in the ninja world with just the Flying Thunder God Technique and taijutsu, because of the ninjas' weak bodies."

"Whether it's you, Uchiha Izuna, or Sarutobi Hiruzen, or even a newly graduated genin, if everyone's throat were just lying there for Namikaze Minato to cut, I think they would all die."

Tobirama Senju's eyes flickered; he seemed to understand what Aozuki was trying to say…

“Minato Namikaze’s thinking gave me a lot of inspiration. When two ninjas are fighting to the death, what is truly deadly is the part that a ninja is least skilled at. No matter how powerful your ninjutsu is, your physical body is just as fragile.”

“Minato Namikaze did just that. He used the Flying Thunder God Technique to exploit the weakest point of each of his enemies against his strongest strengths. So even ninjas who seemed more all-around capable than him would be hampered when they encountered him.”

"It must be said, he's a genius. He pinpointed the most common vulnerability among ninjas with remarkable accuracy..."

Tobirama Senju nodded knowingly; he naturally understood these things.

Before Minato Namikaze, he, the creator of the Flying Thunder God Technique, had already developed this battle tactic.

"Qingshui, of course you can do that too."

Tobirama Senju began to analyze for Aoshui:

"Now that you've mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, with me here, I'll teach you its proficiency and derivative techniques. Furthermore, your dynamic vision, reflexes, and close-combat skills are all far superior to that of Minato Namikaze..."

"What he can do, you can only do better!"

Qing Shui slowly shook his head and said softly, "While the Flying Thunder God Technique is powerful, it still has its problems..."

Tobirama Senju frowned. The Flying Thunder God Technique was one of the most powerful techniques he had invented.

Even though Aozumi said that, Tobirama Senju didn't see anything wrong with it.

Qing Shui slowly said, "The power of the Flying Thunder God Technique will inevitably attract targeted countermeasures from the enemy. The convenience and power of the Flying Thunder God Technique will also make the user unconsciously dependent on it, and inevitably make them complacent."

"Tobirama, tell me the truth, when you covered the retreat for Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others back then, did you ever think you might not come back?"

Tobirama Senju remained silent.

To be honest, although he did a very cool test of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura's minds at the time...

But he never really thought he wouldn't be able to come back.

After all, with the Flying Thunder God Technique, even with Madara Uchiha in his presence, Tobirama Senju didn't think he would be captured or killed. However, he never expected to be defeated by the Six Paths Treasures of the Gold and Silver Brothers in a first-time kill...

It was an unexpected surprise.

Qing Shui shook his head with a sigh:

"The ninja world is a world teeming with monsters. Perhaps someone has discovered a new secret technique, perhaps someone has developed a new bloodline limit, perhaps a strange sealing technique, or perhaps they have found an ancient Six Paths Treasure..."

"But a ninja's body is so fragile that it has no room for error."

Fault tolerance…

As Tobirama Senju pondered these three words, a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.

"Sometimes I think, the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, these two figures who were called gods, their attacks far exceeded the power necessary to kill a ninja..."

"What truly makes them powerful is their unparalleled tolerance for error, surpassing that of all other ninjas!"

"The chakra is so powerful that it can ignore genjutsu, and the Wood Release and Susanoo protect the user from all harm. The First Hokage is also said to possess a healing technique that can heal without hand seals, allowing wounds to heal instantly..."

Qing Shui sighed, shook his head, and said:

"While I cannot compare to these two ninja gods, I can do my best to overcome my weaknesses to cope with this ninja world full of monsters and survive..."

Tobirama Senju had a blank expression.

Whether Aokiji can rival Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju is indeed hard to say.

He's thinking about this right now—

When did Qingshui develop this extremely cautious personality, which seems to be like that of someone with paranoia?

Tobirama Senju sighed, a vague sense of understanding dawning on him.

From Qing Shui's perspective, it seems quite reasonable that he would become unusually cautious, given that such rare and seemingly unbelievable things as dual chakra reincarnation and forbidden techniques could happen to him.

Qingshui is a tough kid. He can accept this kind of thing without turning to the dark side, which shows he has excellent mental fortitude.

"Susanoo and Wood Release are things I can neither access nor control right now..."

Qingshui patted his chest: "But I can find a way to strengthen my physical body, at least to the point where I can withstand Minato Namikaze's slashes and ordinary attack escape techniques!"

"That way, even if I'm ever set up or surrounded, I'll always have a trump card up my sleeve..."

Following Aoshui's train of thought, Tobirama Senju's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Fortunately, it seems that only Aoshui in the Uchiha clan has been like this for the past thousand years!

Even a cunning and treacherous Uchiha like Izuna Uchiha became so arrogant after acquiring the Mangekyou Sharingan that he thought he could easily crush him and lowered his guard.

That's why he had the opportunity to take advantage of it!

If Uchiha Izuna, like Aozumi, had always maintained such a cautious personality, even feeling that the power of his Mangekyou Sharingan was insufficient, he would have started secretly trying to hone his physical body...

Even in his imagination, Tobirama Senju was somewhat taken aback.

With a Flying Thunder God Slash, the sword touched Uchiha Izuna's chest, but failed to penetrate and broke off with a snap!

Then, Uchiha Izuna burst into laughter again and subjected him to a barrage of insults.

Tobirama Senju felt a chill run down his spine; it truly felt like a hellish world!

Unconsciously, a sense of compassion appeared in Tobirama Senju's eyes.

Qing Shui's enemies will not only encounter an extremely terrifying monster with exceptional talent, but they also seem to be exceptionally cautious!

But after thinking for a moment, Tobirama Senju spoke seriously:

"Qingshui, your idea is good, but body tempering is something that very few people in the ninja world do..."

"It's not that others didn't think of it, but rather that the perseverance, time, energy, and talent required for body tempering for a ninja are far less than what one can achieve by training escaping techniques normally."

"Only the Raikage lineage of Kumogakure has a special physique that is suitable for training such ninjutsu."

"Qingshui, all you need to do is maintain this cautious mindset. Focus on mastering the Sharingan, the Adamantine Sealing Technique, the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Water Release, and you'll probably be safe..."

By the end, Tobirama Senju's expression had become strange; he had been led astray by Aoshui.

After completing these practices, safety goes far beyond what is described as a prerequisite.

Whether Qingshui is safe or not will not be discussed for now.

Anyway, Tobirama Senju felt very unsafe whenever he encountered Aoisui's enemies...

Aoshiki shook his head firmly: "It's still not stable, Tobirama."

"My bloodline limits and secret techniques will eventually be discovered by my enemies. Since I'm just an unknown genin right now, why not keep a trump card for myself before anyone notices me?"

"Don't underestimate the wisdom of other ninjas, Tobirama."

"Constant self-reflection, humility, and caution are the proper mindset for a Konoha ninja, my Second Hokage."

Tobirama Senju snorted, but for some reason felt that Aoshui's words made sense.

He was thinking, what if Qing Shui really resurrected him…

This statement seems like it could be included in the Will of Fire textbook; it's much better than what the monkey is spouting now.

Well, let’s do it!
