Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 204: The Uchiha Version of Ideological Warfare!

"Brother, you're thanking him?"

Tie Huo stared wide-eyed, his face filled with surprise and indignation.

He hoped the rice stalks would help him get ahead, but that wasn't the case at all...

The rice fields swept across the scene with a cold gaze.

"You said it yourself, Zhishui is a few years younger than you. You got beaten up and you expect me to stand up for you? Besides, why did you stop them? Let them come; what can a little girl do?"

"Shameful!"

Uchiha Inahime showed no respect for her younger brother, her gaze icy, and she scolded him until he lowered his head and dared not utter a word in reply.

Shisui remained silent.

He looked at Inaho as if he were giving a lecture, but in reality he wasn't explicitly reprimanding Tetsuho for the conflict between Konoha. Instead, he thought that if there was "no threat," then it was okay to let him in.

They still harbored prejudices and didn't consider themselves members of Konoha.

Watch them leave.

Shisui looked at his hands and suddenly felt that his strength was still not strong enough to fight against and change the minds of so many people.

He needs to become stronger!

Uchiha Shisui took a deep breath and made a decision.

……

On the lakeside, Uchiha Shisui awaited Kyohiko's arrival.

I waited for a long time.

A figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Waiting for me?"

"senior!"

Shisui's eyes lit up, unable to contain his joy.

Then, he recounted what had happened to him.

Jingyan listened quietly.

After the other person finished speaking, he smiled and said, "You are already very capable. At your age, there shouldn't be a single person of your age who is stronger than you."

"But I need to be stronger!"

Shisui bowed deeply as he spoke, "Senior, I... I want you to teach me how to become stronger. I know my talent is not as good as yours, but... I will work twice as hard!"

Jingyan got stuck for a moment.

Shisui's talent is undeniable. In the original timeline, he awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan at a very young age, and it was the terrifying Kotoamatsukami.

His fate has now been changed, and whether he can awaken Kotoamatsukami is still unknown.

but.

According to Kyohiko's understanding, Shisui's genjutsu, ninjutsu, taijutsu, and swordsmanship are all very strong, and his level is absolutely unparalleled among his peers.

Make the water stopper stronger...

Are you sure?

Jingyan smiled, then sat down and uttered the coldest words, "I don't really care, after all, you're very smart, and teaching you won't take much time. But do you understand the consequences of learning from me?"

The water stopped, and the speaker nodded repeatedly.

"Of course, what you gain is what you give, and besides, my surname is Uchiha, which means I'm destined to face more difficulties than most people, but I still want to seize this opportunity!"

As he spoke, he lowered his head again, maintaining a deep bow.

"I want to continue down the path my grandfather followed!"

He had already learned about Uchiha Kagami from Fugaku, and Fugaku's words seemed to imply that he should get closer to Konoha.

At the same time.

As a pivotal figure in Konoha today, Kyohiko did not believe that the other party was wasting time without any purpose.

The other party must also have needs of me!

If that's the case, why not take the initiative?

Both sides have made their points quite clear.

A smile appeared on Jingyan's face.

"If you have that kind of determination, then of course I can too, but you also need to be mentally prepared..."

"Yes, I can endure any hardship!"

Uchiha Shisui's tone was firm.

Jingyan shook his head: "That's not what I meant."

"That……"

Shisui paused for a moment, not realizing what Kyohiko was referring to.

Jingyan said solemnly, "You should be prepared to become enemies with a part of your clan! Back then, even someone as strong as Uchiha Madara couldn't unify the thoughts within his clan."

"You are the same. No matter how powerful you are, you can't make everyone agree with you. Some people can find common ground while respecting differences, but many others will take extreme measures."

"If it comes to that, are you prepared to become their enemy?"

Jingyan's question left Shisui speechless and silent for a long time.

Does this really need to be taken so extremely?

He didn't speak.

However, Jingyan added, "The battle of ideas is more difficult than a real war. For example, I might have the ability to wipe out one of your families, but I cannot make every member of your family submit to me!"

"Then... what about illusion manipulation? Perhaps there exists an illusion technique that can manipulate other people's minds and make them agree with my views!"

Zhi Shui hesitated.

He had heard that the Uchiha clan possessed a similar secret technique, and that perhaps through research and practice, a similar effect could be achieved.

Jingyan sighed softly.

Uchiha Shisui...

Although the timeline has changed and the experiences have undergone significant alterations, he is essentially still Uchiha Shisui, yearning for a solution that satisfies both sides—

Illusion!

This is the best-case scenario the other party could come up with.

but……

"Illusion magic, can you control it for a lifetime? And how many people can you control? Using magic to solve your own mental problems is clearly the wrong direction."

Jingyan shook his head.

Shisui paused, taken aback.

Incorrect?

But this was the best solution he could think of, and it was the direction he had finally found after consulting various materials and books in the clan's collection.

"First, you must learn to distinguish who is a friend and who is an enemy. Increase your friends within the tribe, and gradually you will have fewer enemies."

"Is this what you mean by a war of ideas?"

The still water seemed lost in thought.

Jingyan nodded: "Yes, just like the influence your grandfather had on you!"

Although Uchiha Kagami died before Shisui was born and never saw his grandson, the notes he left behind deeply influenced Shisui.

The water stopped flowing.

Change others with your thoughts, and turn them into your friends...

He had never thought of this path before!

"This requires patience and wisdom. To be honest, this is exactly what I want to do for the Uchiha clan."

Kyohiko said frankly.

Shisui licked her lips: "What should I do?"

"Don't overthink it. Just get more people to accept your ideas. As for the Will of Fire and the safety of Konoha, those are not issues you need to consider."

Kyohiko replied calmly, "Konoha won't be destroyed just because the Uchiha clan is gone, but what will happen to the Uchiha if they leave Konoha?"

"You're absolutely right, and the patriarch understands this perfectly well, but we can't convince the clansmen..."

The still water sighed.

Kyohiko sneered, "Can't convince him? Fugaku hasn't even tried. He's been waiting for someone to hand him the opportunity. If your goal in learning is to annihilate Uchiha Fugaku, then you might as well just wipe out the Uchiha clan!"

Fugaku has abilities, but he is not particularly outstanding in educating or influencing others.

"I see!"

Zhi Shui nodded emphatically.

Normally, by this time, Kyohiko would already be preparing to leave, but today was different.

"Your illusion and teleportation techniques are quite good. I'll teach you a technique."

"yes!"

Shisui couldn't hide his joy and immediately activated his Sharingan.

Snapped!

With a snap of his fingers, Kyohiko's body transformed into several figures, and then—

Whoosh!

Shisui stepped back, but the knife was still at his neck.

"The Sharingan can see through things, but it might not be able to keep up with the speed. That's something you need to be careful about. Also, did you understand the technique I just used?"

"Yes, I... understand part of it."

Zhi Shui didn't dare to make any definitive statements.

Clone Technique, Illusion Technique, Body Flicker Technique, and Lightning Release Chakra to stimulate physical activity.

The scariest thing is——

Jingyan did not use hand seals!

Many ninjutsu can be completed with a snap of the fingers, and he even had a vague feeling that the snap might be more of a deception, and the key was not the snap but the action.

"Use movement to unleash illusions!"

Shisui looked up, a hint of surprise in her eyes—

Although he had previously used his Sharingan to create eye contact and released a genjutsu on Tekka, that was a Uchiha clan ability, while Kyohiko-senpai used genjutsu through his movements.

A very clever method!

Jingyan said, "Aside from fingers, any movement can theoretically serve as a medium for releasing illusions, and there's also sound illusions..."

Another snap of the fingers.

Snapped!

The illusion was only moderately effective, merely simulating a terrifying roar in Shi Shui's ear.

He covered his ears, then realized that it had all been an illusion.

"This illusion..."

Shisui was first surprised, then understood—

While the Sharingan can break many genjutsu, it is more effective at breaking "visual" genjutsu.

For example, Kyohiko's previous actions.

Sound, however, is not included in this category.

So there are so many intricacies to illusion magic! My understanding of it before was far too superficial!

Zhishui thought.

Previously, although he did not think his illusion skills were particularly outstanding, he believed he had a very deep understanding of illusions. However, after witnessing Kyohiko's abilities, he realized that there are always people more skilled than him and that there is always something beyond his understanding.

"Specific techniques are meaningless to you; it's the skills you need to master that are what I used to frequently in my early years."

As Jingyan spoke, he formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone.

Shisui nodded repeatedly, unable to contain his excitement: "Teacher, I understand! I will definitely work even harder!"

……

The Uchiha clan issue isn't going to escalate or generate immediate feedback.

a few days later.

[Under your influence, a couple from the Snow Clan were fortunate enough to survive and conceive a child. This child has developed a strong interest in the Will of Fire and intends to join Konoha!]

Konoha is growing stronger every day!

[Reward: Amber Technique (Grandmaster)]

Thanks to his solid foundation, Jingyan was not surprised at all to receive a good reward.

but.

Grandmaster-level Amber Technique...

He quickly integrated the memories and experienced the effects of the new Amber Technique.

After a moment, Kyohiko seemed to be deep in thought.

The Amber Technique, derived from Wood Release, has become even more powerful. It can be perfectly and freely generated and controlled, causing enemies to be trapped in amber without them even realizing it.

In addition, there is—

To complement the sealing technique of amber.

Kuo'an entered the city with his hands clasped.

This is a Wood Release sealing technique developed by Hashirama Senju, but if combined with the techniques of the Amber Technique, a simpler and more perfect sealing effect can be achieved.

"The potential of this technique is beyond doubt."

"You'll only know once you try..."

Jingyan's figure vanished, and in the next instant, he appeared in the Death Forest, and then—

He formed a mudra with his hands.

In an instant, a pine tree grew out of the spot that Kyohiko needed.

After a short while, a bird landed.

next moment.

It suddenly sensed danger, but it was too late—

The moment it lands on the branch, the resin adheres to it, quickly hardening into a fossil-like substance.

The Amber Technique has undergone a further change in nature!

even.

With a flick of his finger, a piece of amber materialized in his palm and flew rapidly into the distance.

Amber can be created directly through a change in properties, instead of needing to be derived through Wood Release as before.

also……

It also has another function.

Jingyan created a shadow clone, and then the clone formed hand seals. Instantly, its entire body was enveloped in overflowing resin, turning into a state similar to an amber fossil.

moment.

Natural energy surged into the shadow clone.

In an instant, Kyohiko's shadow clone entered a state of assimilation with nature, requiring no further preparation; all that was needed was to adjust the body's energy structure...

Entering Sage Mode takes only a few seconds.

A few seconds later.

Inside the amber, the shadow clone disappeared automatically.

A powerful surge of Sage Chakra erupted from Kyohiko's body, and instantly, his body underwent a special transformation, entering Sage Mode.

This will be the fastest way for me to replenish my Sage Chakra during battle!

A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

"Unexpectedly, the greatest boost brought by the Amber Technique is Sage Mode..."

While it's not quite at the point where you can enter Sage Mode with a simple clap of your hands, it's not too far off, and—

The significance of the art of amber lies not only in itself.

Perhaps, it can even help others enter Sage Mode...

but.

This is just speculation, and whether it can be realized still needs further verification.

Kyohiko uses Thunder God again.

At Minato Namikaze's home, he sat cross-legged in his room, completely absorbed in his inner world.

Inside his body...

The Nine-Tails' chakra was gathering within the seal, transforming into a small form of the Nine-Tails.

A surge of overwhelming resentment welled up from within him.

This wasn't Minato's first encounter with the power of a Tailed Beast, but this time, he was about to take a dangerous step—

Slowly release the power of the tailed beast!

"Theoretically, the double Four Symbols Seal can allow it to slowly dissipate. Although it will disrupt one's own chakra, over time, it can further improve one's physical constitution."

Minato Namikaze opened his eyes, his hands still forming hand seals.

This was a magic technique he learned from Kyohiko to soothe his own emotions, which he now used to suppress the agitation he felt under the influence of the tailed beast's power.

A few seconds have passed.

Red chakra slowly appeared on his body.

suppress!

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath, using his own chakra to envelop and absorb it, attempting to break it down.

After several pulls, he gradually entered a state of equilibrium.

"This is……"

Minato Namikaze was slightly surprised.

He could sense that he had not completely merged with the power of the tailed beast, but his physical strength and energy seemed to have been slightly enhanced.

"How powerful would it be if the power of the Tailed Beasts were fully unleashed and fused with that power?"

"No wonder Kyohiko is so wary of the research he's done on Kumogakure!"

Minato Namikaze exhaled.

This step definitely wasn't a success!

His ultimate goal is for Kushina to fully control the Nine-Tails' power, instead of becoming a human cage like she is now.

but……

The task is arduous and the road ahead is long!

As he was pondering this, a presence appeared outside.

Kyohiko?

Is there something wrong?

Minato Namikaze thought for a moment, then walked towards the door without changing his current state.
