Analyzing the Ninja World Starting from Konoha

The young man slowly opened his eyes.

Black sclera, brown pupils.

That is a unique mark of a reanimated body.

"here it is……"

His voice was a little hoarse, with a slight echo.

"I...aren't I already dead?"

The man looked puzzled and incredulous, then looked down at his cracked hands.

"Wait, this is... the Second Hokage's forbidden technique?!"

The man looked around, his gaze finally settling on the person in front of him who appeared to be a member of the "Anbu" (a secret service unit).

As expected of a Jonin, he is indeed very knowledgeable.

"Nice to meet you, Kato Dan-senpai."

Aoba emerged from the shadows, removed her mask, and smiled.

"Welcome back to the ninja world!"

Kato Dan looked at the boy in front of him who had taken off his mask. His face was too young, and even had a touch of childishness.

Is this the caster?

"Let me introduce myself. I am Aoba Yamashiro, a genin from Konoha."

Aoba casually hung the cat-face mask on his waist, speaking as if he had bumped into a neighbor on the street, "Although this way of meeting is a bit presumptuous, in order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, I can only ask you to wake up in a place like this, senpai."

Konoha? Genin?

He was too young; his face even still had a touch of childishness.

But how could someone who can master the forbidden technique of Impure World Reincarnation be an ordinary brat?

As a Jonin who had experienced the Fourth Shinobi World War, he quickly calmed down and scrutinized Aoba: "Impure World Reincarnation... This is a forbidden ninjutsu listed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama. Since you are a Genin of Konoha, how do you know such a forbidden technique? Who exactly are you? Why are you disturbing the peace of the dead? What is your purpose in summoning me?"

Kato Dan's eyes turned sharp. In his mind, the person in front of him was probably a Konoha rogue ninja who had stolen the forbidden technique and summoned him by some unknown method.

He just tried it out, and this body has almost no combat power, pitifully little chakra, and its mobility is also restricted.

Instead of directly answering the question about forbidden techniques, Aoba stated bluntly, "I need your power. To be precise, I want to learn your secret technique—the Spirit Transformation Technique."

The air froze instantly.

Kato stared at Aoba, his dark brown pupils filled with mockery.

really.

He doesn't have the talent for verbal sparring.

Aoba sighed helplessly and scratched his head: "I knew it wouldn't be that easy."

To perform ninjutsu that desecrates the dead and then try to learn other people's ninjutsu—this doesn't seem like the behavior of a good person at all. It would be strange if the other person even taught him.

Fortunately, he was prepared.

"It's normal that Kato Dan-senpai doesn't recognize me, but you should recognize this, right?"

After Qingye finished speaking, he began to form hand seals.

His black hair suddenly grew wildly, like a giant, wildly dancing python, and he charged towards the nearby boulder.

Puff puff!

Hard rocks are as fragile as tofu in the face of a strand of hair, shattering into pieces in an instant.

"This is……"

Kato Dan's pupils contracted slightly. "Jiraiya's Lion's Mane Technique?"

"It's not over yet!"

Before he could finish his surprise, Aoba raised his hand, clenched his fist, and gathered chakra in his hand.

With a flash, he appeared in front of a boulder about half a person's height.

boom!

He threw a punch.

The boulder shattered instantly under the terrifying force, sending fragments flying and filling the entire cave with dust.

Kato was completely stunned.

If the Lion's Mane Technique could be attributed to coincidence, then this iconic, monstrous punch...

In the entire ninja world, there is only one person who can control chakra so precisely and unleash such destructive power.

"Tsunade..."

Kato Dan muttered to himself, his previously wary expression instantly relaxing, replaced by an extremely complex emotion, "What's your relationship with Tsunade?"

"I am Tsunade-sensei's student. Unless there are special circumstances, Tsunade-sensei would probably accept me as her disciple."

Aoba stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said.

"Now you should be able to believe that I'm not Konoha's enemy, right?"

Kato Dan remained silent for a moment, and most of his hostility dissipated.

Being able to learn both Jiraiya's and Tsunade's signature ninjutsu means he must have earned their approval, indicating that this young man's identity in Konoha is definitely not simple.

"Since you're Tsunade's student, why resort to such methods?"

Kato's tone softened considerably. "And Tsunade... how is she now?"

When Tsunade was mentioned, the man's voice was full of concern and tenderness.

Aoba's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "This is what I meant by a special situation—Tsunade is leaving Konoha!"

"What?!"

Kato Dan trembled upon hearing this.

"Ever since your sacrifice in World War II, Tsunade-sensei has suffered from severe hemophobia..."

Looking into Kato Dan's eyes, Aoba slowly recounted the events, "After losing two of the people she loved most in her life, Tsunade-sensei couldn't bear the sight of blood and could no longer enter the operating room. She left the hospital and spent her days gambling and drinking, trying to numb herself. Your niece, Shizune, is about to graduate from the Ninja Academy. As soon as she graduates, Tsunade-sensei will take Shizune away from Konoha, away from this place that caused her so much pain..."

Every word was like a knife, stabbing deeply into Kato Dan's heart.

The body reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation had no sense of pain, but he felt a suffocating pain in his chest.

Hemophobia...

That once legendary medical expert who commanded respect on the battlefield and saved countless lives has turned into this because of his own death.

Guilt, self-blame, and heartache intertwined on his cracked face.

"It's my fault... I ruined her life."

Kato lowered his head, his voice trembling.

"No, this is not your fault, it is the fault of the war."

Aoba interrupted his self-blame, "That's why I need power. Not long ago, I carried out a special mission and accidentally came into contact with people from the future!"

"Future people?"

Kato Dan raised his head.

"That is a power called 'Dragon Vein,' which can transcend time and space."

Aoba began to recount the events of the Loulan mission: "There, I encountered a Konoha ninja from the future. He was trapped in the Dragon Vein and was being corrupted by the Dragon Vein chakra, falling into a coma. To confirm his identity, I used mind-reading techniques to probe his memories."

To increase credibility, Aoba embellished the information he had obtained during the Loulan mission, combining it with the original plot.

"The Third Shinobi World War is about to break out in full force, and Konoha will face an unprecedented crisis. Although we will ultimately win, the price will be heavy."

"Tsunade will overcome her hemophobia in the future and become the Fifth Hokage, but Jiraiya will die shortly afterward."

"Even later, Konoha was invaded and destroyed by a powerful enemy, turning it into ruins."

Aoba's voice echoed in the empty cave, tinged with sadness.

"I don't want that kind of future to happen."

"I want to change all of this! I don't want to just stand by and shed tears when tragedy strikes. I want to protect my family and, more importantly, I want to safeguard the village where I grew up."

"But my current power is not enough, so I learned the Impure World Reincarnation technique to summon you."

Aoba extended his hand to Kato Dan, his gaze sincere: "Dan-senpai, please teach me the Spirit Transformation Technique. I need this power to deal with those enemies lurking in the shadows and to change that regrettable future."
