Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Three days after Orochimaru left Konoha, Jiraiya returned to Konoha. On the same day, Minato Namikaze, the Fourth Hokage, officially issued a warrant for Orochimaru's arrest and designated him as an S-rank criminal!

This news quickly spread throughout the ninja world, causing quite a stir.

After all, Orochimaru was one of the Legendary Sannin, and he was already famous throughout the ninja world. Now, he has become a rogue ninja.

Kumogakure, Raikage's office.

The Fourth Raikage wasn't particularly interested in the information about Orochimaru's defection: "Although he's one of the Legendary Sannin, Orochimaru's departure won't have much of an impact on Konoha."

"However, we can investigate why this guy defected from Konoha; perhaps we can use that against him."

Tsuchishiro nodded: "That's true, but it's best not to provoke Konoha, as it would be disadvantageous for us. After all, we are now allies and must work together to deal with Akatsuki."

Mentioning the Akatsuki organization, the Fourth Raikage's expression darkened: "Have you found the person who killed Raita?"

Tsuchishiro shook his head: "Currently, we only have information from Konoha that the guy who killed Raita was a former S-rank rogue ninja from Takigakure. However, we have already given orders that as soon as we find any trace of him, we will prevent any engagement and wait for reinforcements."

The Fourth Raikage clenched his fist: "Then hurry up. I'm going to break that bastard's neck myself!"

Tsuchishiro nodded solemnly: "Yes!"

At that moment, a Cloud Ninja knocked on the door and entered, saying, "Lord Raikage, an envoy from Konoha has arrived at the village."

The Fourth Raikage frowned: "Could it be about the Akatsuki?"

"Go and bring him over!"

The Cloud Ninja who reported immediately accepted the order and left, while Tsuchishiro said, "Lord Raikage, I'm afraid it's not a matter for the Akatsuki. After all, our intelligence communication has been ongoing, so there's no need to send an envoy in person."

The Fourth Raikage nodded in agreement: "Let's see what they have to do!"

Soon, a figure was brought into the Raikage's office.

Tsuchishiro looked at the newcomer, his gaze sharpening: "That hair color... the son of Konoha's White Fang, Konoha's Raiga Kakashi?"

Kakashi greeted him, saying, "Your Excellency the Fourth Raikage, I am Kakashi Hatake, representing the Fourth Hokage."

The Fourth Raikage looked at Kakashi and said, "It's you. I remember you, the son of Konoha's White Fang."

A few years ago, Kakashi almost died at the hands of Killer Bee.

"So, what brings the Fourth Hokage here?"

The Fourth Raikage asked.

Kakashi said, "Lord Raikage, I've come on behalf of Konoha to invite Kumogakure to participate in the first Chunin Championship hosted by Konoha!"

Both the Fourth Raikage and Tsuchishiro were puzzled, with the latter immediately asking, "Kakashi, what is the Chunin Championship?"

Kakashi quickly explained, "This is a competition for rankings, with Chunin participating and teams completing missions together."

"The aim is to enhance communication and even combat coordination among allied ninjas."

Tsuchishiro reacted quickly: "Is this preparation for dealing with the Akatsuki?"

Kakashi glanced at Tsuchishiro, secretly surprised: "Such a keen sense of perception."

"Yes, that's definitely been a consideration."

Kakashi responded.

The Fourth Raikage considered it for a moment before saying, "Since it's an alliance, we will naturally participate."

Kakashi immediately took out a scroll: "Lord Raikage, these are the rules for the Chunin Championship."

The Fourth Raikage gestured for Tsuchishiro to take it and asked, "Besides us, who else invited us?"

Kakashi didn't hide anything and said, "Sunagakure, Ryugaku, Yugakure, Amegakure."

The Fourth Raikage frowned: "Amegakure?"

Although Amegakure now appears to have no connection with Akatsuki, he has always harbored suspicions and distrust towards Amegakure, so the Cloud Ninja have been keeping a close eye on Amegakure.

Kakashi, who knew a lot of information, guessed the Fourth Raikage's thoughts and said, "This is also a test of Amegakure."

Tsuchishiro immediately said, "That is indeed a solution."

The Fourth Raikage nodded, "Then let's do it that way!"

at the same time.

In the office of the leader of Amegakure, Hoshino Hide sat halfway on the desk, watching Konan working diligently at her desk.

Women who work hard are beautiful and cool!

While admiring the scenery, Hoshino Hideichi talked about the Chunin Championship.

Xiao Nan nodded and said, "I understand. I'll send someone then."

I already participated in the Chunin Joint Examination in July, so there's no harm in going again.

Hoshino Shuichi explained, "The Chunin Championship is different; the most crucial competition lies in actual combat."

"Teams or individuals can draw up missions to hunt down wanted rogue ninjas, bandits, and wandering ninjas."

Xiao Nan looked up and asked, "Are teams allowed to hunt each other in the competition?"

Hoshino Hideichi shook his head: "No, I will monitor the whole process."

"I'm not trying to train machines that only kill people."

"Otherwise, there would be no point in unifying the ninja world."

"In reality, to change the ninja world, the first thing to change is the ninja community itself."

Konan looked at Hoshita Shuichi with a puzzled expression: "Change the ninja community?"

"What do you mean?"

Hoshino Hideichi asked, "What is the greatest role of ninjas now?"

Xiao Nan said, "Intelligence, espionage, coups, assassinations, war."

"Or rather... a battle!"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Yes!"

"Even in Konoha, only fresh-out-of-school genin would do things like finding cats and dogs for people, picking up trash in the river, or hunting wild animals that damage crops for the villagers."

"Konan, the Land of Rain is known as the Land of Weeping. Have you, or even Nagato, ever considered using the power of the ninja to change this environment?"

Xiao Nan was a little confused: "Wha...what do you mean?"

"environment?"

Xingxia Xiu said, "It's a rainy environment."

Too much rain is not a good thing.

"And the desert of the Land of Wind."

"The Land of Rain and the Land of Rivers are rich in water resources, while the Land of Wind is a vast desert. However, no ninjas have thought about changing the environment to make people's living environment better. Instead, they fight and kill each other."

"The ninja world is only so big. If we don't make the pie bigger, we'll just keep fighting over the same little bit of food."

Xiao Nan was stunned when she heard this.

Because this was a question and direction that she, Yahiko, and Nagato had never even considered.

Konan thought for a moment, then looked at Hoshino Shuichi with a somewhat blank expression: "This... how do we change it?"

"If it rains..."

She really doesn't understand this.

If you attend a ninja academy within the Konoha system, you'll likely learn a wider range of things.

But for the three of them, their teacher was Jiraiya, and in three years he could only teach them ninjutsu and at most some life skills.

Where can you find so much systematic knowledge?

Xiao Nan thinks, "It's okay for ninjas to make it rain, but why doesn't it rain?"

Hoshino Hideichi reached out and grabbed Konan's hand. The next moment, the two disappeared from the office and arrived at a mountain north of Amegakure.

"Did you see that?"

Hoshino Hideichi pointed to the mountains to the north.

Konan nodded and asked, "Are those mountains... related to the rainfall in the Land of Rain?"

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "There is some connection."

"The land of rivers and the land of fire to the east are generally flat. Especially in the land of rivers, the terrain gradually rises as you move north to the land of rain."

"When we reached the northern part of the Land of Rain, which borders the Land of Earth and the Land of Birds, towering mountains rose abruptly, especially along the border with the Land of Earth, where the terrain and mountains were particularly high."

"Moist air currents move from south to north, rising continuously and cooling down, gradually changing from a gaseous state to a liquid state, forming raindrops."

"When we reached the Land of Rain, we were at our limit and couldn't climb over the mountains to enter the Land of Earth."

"The Grass Country is relatively better. The surrounding mountains are not high, and the moist air currents from the south and east can enter, but not too much. Therefore, the Grass Country is also lush with vegetation, just right."

Xiao Nan was stunned.

Hoshino Hideichi sighed, "I still haven't read enough!"

No culture, it's scary.

"So, you mean that destroying the mountains bordering the Land of Earth will solve the problem of excessive rainfall in the Land of Rain?"

After Xiao Nan came to her senses, she asked.

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "It can definitely be reduced."

"Lowering the altitude allows some moist air currents to enter the Land of Earth, reducing rainfall in the Land of Rain to some extent, while also increasing rainfall in the Land of Earth."

"Of course, climate issues concern the entire world, and changes in certain areas can have far-reaching consequences."

After saying that, Hoshino Hideichi turned to look at the Land of Wind and smiled, "Konan, if Nagato unifies the ninja world in the future, how will he change the Land of Wind?"

"Should we move the people out?"

"But it will squeeze the living space of others, and conflicts and battles will be inevitable."

"Keep it as it is? The people of the Wind Kingdom won't be content to eat sand every day!"

Konan also turned around, gazing in the direction of the Land of Wind, lost in thought.

What should I do?

I feel a little lost.

Should we follow the same approach Hoshinobi Shuichi took to change the Land of Rain?

Why does the Land of Wind have so many deserts?

Xiao Nan's mind went blank.

Xingxia Xiu glanced at the dazed and somewhat adorable Xiao Nan, smiled, and said nothing more. He then took her hand and teleported back to his office.

Taking out the Chunin Championship scroll and putting it down, Hoshino Hideaki smiled and said, "When you see Nagato, why don't you ask him about it too?"

"I'm leaving now."

The person had already disappeared after speaking. Xiao Nan came back to her senses and tried to speak, but the words were in vain, leaving her feeling somewhat disappointed.

"How exactly do we change the Land of Wind?"

Xiao Nan couldn't understand it.

……

Hoshino Shuichi, who had returned to Konoha, was also somewhat puzzled.

How come there's an extra entry for developing S-rank water escape techniques?

Entry: [Master Tracker]

Entry effect: Tracking talent increased by 100%, trace sensitivity increased by 100%, and visual perception increased by 100%; geese leave traces as they fly by, and the wind leaves sounds as it passes by; nothing can escape your keen eyesight.

It doesn't trigger a new entry, but rather directly activates the status.

The reason lies in the water-style ninjutsu that the clone had just completed.

That is, by changing the properties of water, super-heavy water was developed.

This water is more radioactive than heavy water, but even a small dose is unlikely to kill someone in a short time.

However, during development, it was unexpectedly discovered that the clone could be used for tagging.

In other words, after the super-heavy water is vaporized and inhaled into the enemy's body, it can remain for seven or eight days without being metabolized, and it is also very difficult to detect.

During this period, due to the high radiation properties of superheavy water, Hoshino Shuichi was able to sense and track it.

This is equivalent to installing a tracking device inside the enemy's body that has a validity period of seven or eight days.

By sheer coincidence, an S-rank tracking ninjutsu was created, and it even earned a Master-level entry.

"Was this a stroke of good luck?"

Hoshino Shuichi felt something was off, so he activated the entry.

The next moment, he felt a cool sensation in his eyes, and his eyesight had actually improved, which surprised Hoshino Shuichi.

Hoshino Shuichi's gaze swept across the study, sensing the changes in the eyes: "A keen insight, unlike the Sharingan's dynamic vision, it's an enhancement of eyesight, somewhat like a microscope, but not as exaggerated."

It's a master's entry, so it's not bad.

However, the most crucial thing is...

This is an entry triggered after obtaining the "Water Release Master" entry.

Entry: God of Ninjutsu

Acquisition Requirements: [Fire Release Master] + [Wind Release Master] + [Lightning Release Master] + [Water Release Master] + [Earth Release Master] + [Genjutsu Master] + [Taijutsu Master] + [Sealing Master] + [Medical Master] + [Master of Space-Time] + [Body Flicker Master] + [Clone Master] + [Transformation Master] + [Substitution Master] + [Sensory Master] = God of Ninjutsu

Entry effect: Constitution increased by 100%, mental strength increased by 100%, recovery ability increased by 100%, immunity to all non-Sage-type ninjutsu damage by 50%; In the realm of ninjutsu, you are a god, able to wield any ninjutsu within your ability range with ease, and you can learn any ninjutsu at a glance and master it in no time.

This is another composite entry similar to the previous one for "academic genius".

Moreover, it was a compilation of master-level entries. Just seeing so many master-level entries made even Hoshino Shuichi's scalp tingle.

"Fortunately, I've finished most of it..."

Hoshino Hideichi thought to himself, "I'm still missing three master entries: [Master of Physical Arts], [Master of Space and Time], and [Master of Instantaneous Movement]."

but.

The effect of this entry is pretty powerful!

It grants 50% immunity to non-Sage Art type ninjutsu damage, which is about half the effect of Truth-Seeking Balls.

Truth-Seeking Balls can be broken down, nullifying all non-Sage Techniques.

"But why is the [Martial Arts Master] included?"

Hoshita Shuichi asked in confusion, "Taijutsu isn't a type of ninjutsu, otherwise, physical attacks that grant immunity to taijutsu would also be possible?"

Suddenly, he had a thought: Body Technique!

"So, it's immune to ninjutsu attacks, but not to physical attacks?"

Hoshino Shizuka skipped over this point.

The most amazing part is the last one, which is also the essence of the God of Ninjutsu.

A god among ninjutsu masters, he can effortlessly master any ninjutsu within his skill range, and he can learn any ninjutsu at a glance and become proficient in it in no time.

"Does this mean that techniques like Shadow Magic and Expansion Magic, within the scope of my understanding of property transformations, are instantly learnable?"

"Then what about Yin-Yang Release?"

"That should work, after all, I've mastered Yin Release and Yang Release..."

Hoshino Shuichi became excited: "In that case, he could indeed be considered a god, albeit barely."

"And the Sharingan... If I awaken the Sharingan, it means I can learn other people's Mangekyou Sharingan techniques, right?" (End of Chapter)
