Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

Before we knew it, it was 59 in Konoha.

At the Konoha Ninja Academy, the fifth-year students are currently undergoing their stage assessments.

"Nara Shikamaru!"

Iruka read out the name.

The lazy Nara Shikamaru got up and went to the front of the classroom, forming hand seals under the gaze of all the students.

Bang!

One on the left and one on the right, as the smoke rose, a clone appeared on each side.

Immediately following the original form, all three Nara Shikamaru transformed into Iruka's appearance.

Iruka sized him up, then nodded in satisfaction: "Nara Shikamaru, you pass!"

"Next up, Choji Akimichi..."

One by one, students went on stage to demonstrate the transformation and clone techniques from the Three Body Techniques.

As for the Substitution Technique and the Body Flicker Technique, they were tested yesterday.

In reality, after Minato Namikaze's reforms, the six-year training program included much more content, and the original Three Body Techniques had become Four Body Techniques. However, the term "Three Body Techniques" was passed down by the ninjas of the old era.

As the students in front of him demonstrated, Naruto, sitting in the back, stared at Sasuke Uchiha's back, his eyes gleaming with undisguised excitement: "Arrogant Sasuke, this time I'm going to give you a real surprise!"

Then Naruto looked at Sakura Haruno, his mind filled with fantasies: "Sakura will definitely be impressed by this kind of ninjutsu!"

"That's a Rank A forbidden technique! Even for a true ninja, it's not something an ordinary person can master!"

The more Naruto thought about it, the more excited he became, his face beaming with smiles.

At that moment, Iruka's voice interrupted his reverie: "Uchiha Sasuke!"

Uchiha Sasuke stood up and walked to the front of the stage with a cool demeanor and his hands in his pockets.

"That guy... he's such an arrogance!"

Seeing the infatuated looks on Sakura Haruno and the other female students' faces, Naruto was filled with envy and jealousy: "Damn it... I'm the son of the Hokage, yet I'm no match for this guy."

"Hmph, apart from Sakura, they're all a bunch of shallow guys."

At the podium, Sasuke Uchiha still had his hands in his pockets, but the next moment, with three plumes of smoke rising, he simultaneously completed the Shadow Clone Technique and the Transformation Technique, and three Iruka appeared.

Iruka nodded with great satisfaction: "Very good, perfect!"

Such concealed hand seals, along with the ability to simultaneously create clones and transform, demonstrate a level of proficiency comparable to most genin.

As expected of the Uchiha!

Iruka sighed inwardly.

In recent years, the Uchiha clan has completely surpassed the Hyuga clan in prestige, becoming the undisputed number one clan in Konoha, and even in the entire ninja world.

Since the time of the genius Itachi Uchiha, more and more members of the Uchiha clan have awakened the Sharingan on their own and broken the curse.

Meanwhile, thanks to the Fourth Hokage's enlightened policies, more and more Uchiha clan ninjas entered Konoha and even various important organizations of the Ninja League.

For example, Konoha's Anbu, the Torture Division...

Of course, at the same time, the Uchiha clan no longer had sole control over Konoha's security forces.

In short, not only Konoha has undergone tremendous changes in the past few years, but the entire ninja world has too.

"It all started with Shuichi-sama..."

Iruka sighed, then gathered his thoughts and continued the assessment.

Soon, Iruka uttered Naruto's name.

"It's finally my turn to shine!"

Naruto stood up and laughed loudly.

Choza Akimichi immediately chimed in, "Naruto, do your best!"

Kiba Inuzuka and the other male students also cheered for Naruto.

Shikamaru glanced at him and said, "Hey, don't get too cocky and cause trouble!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto, who was standing in the corridor, immediately said confidently, "Shikamaru, don't worry. I'm fully prepared this time, and I definitely won't lose to anyone."

As he spoke, he glanced at Uchiha Sasuke.

Uchiha Sasuke snorted and ignored the boring guy.

Ino Yamanaka was very dissatisfied: "Naruto is always targeting Sasuke, it's so annoying!"

Sakura Haruno, not to be outdone, raised her fist: "This guy deserves to be taught a lesson."

At this moment, Naruto swaggered to the front of the podium and raised his hands under everyone's gaze: It's time to show you the power of an A-rank forbidden technique!

Bang bang bang!

Smoke billowed up, and then figures appeared one after another in front of everyone.

Instantly, the entire classroom fell silent, everyone staring wide-eyed at the four figures shrouded in mist.

Iruka's face twitched.

Then Naruto's alluring voice rang out: "Iruka-sensei..."

Iruka could no longer hold on; blood gushed from his nose, and he collapsed to the ground.

"Hahaha!"

"Impressive, isn't it? This is an A-rank forbidden technique taught by the Perverted Immortal!"

After dispelling the ninjutsu, Naruto looked at Iruka lying on the ground and burst into laughter.

Nara Shikamaru sighed, "This guy, he's caused trouble again, just as I expected."

Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka both had black lines on their faces.

Sasuke Uchiha's face twitched, then he turned his head away: "Boring ninjutsu!"

……

The Hokage's office.

Kushina Uzumaki was already excitedly having Minato Namikaze use the Water Mirror Technique he had learned from Shuichi Hoshino to observe Naruto's assessment.

Seeing Sasuke Uchiha's performance, Kushina Uzumaki praised him without reservation: "Mikoto's son is truly amazing!"

Minato Namikaze nodded and smiled, "It seems that although his talent is slightly inferior to his brother Itachi, considering his identity as the reincarnation of Indra, his future achievements may surpass Itachi's!"

Kushina Uzumaki said, "I heard that Itachi has already awakened his three-tomoe power!"

Minato Namikaze nodded, somewhat moved: "It takes a tremendous amount of inner strength and time to accumulate positive willpower and emotions on one's own. Itachi's ability to do so at this age is already remarkable."

Although he is not as good as Uchiha Shisui at the same age, the two have taken different paths and cannot be compared.

Even so, within the Uchiha clan, Itachi Uchiha's awakening speed was not considered slow.

Based on the current situation, Minato Namikaze believes that Itachi Uchiha awakening the Mangekyou Sharingan is not a problem.

If the First Hokage's cells are transplanted then, the ninja world will have another pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, further strengthening their power against the Otsutsuki clan.

If only we had more time...

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but think of his disciples' children.

Leaving aside the others, the oldest, Nawaki, who is only three years younger than Naruto, has already shown amazing strength at this age.

Not only does he possess an astonishing amount of chakra, but he has also awakened a powerful Wood Release technique.

Judging from the current situation, he will at least become another "Hashirama Senju" in the future.

However, considering his disciple's abilities, Minato Namikaze felt that Nawaki's future achievements would definitely not be limited to "Hashirama Senju".

However, thinking about how Nawaki had grown up with Naruto, Minato couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

"Naruto and Nawaki are so mischievous! Their personalities are nothing like mine and Shuichi's!"

"Fortunately, they are very kind and get along well with everyone."

Minato Namikaze didn't have too many demands on his son Naruto; overall, he was very satisfied with Naruto.

Especially her kindness and her ability to get along with anyone.

Of course, Sasuke is an exception.

And he's popular with women...

Minato Namikaze secretly worried about his son's luck with women.

At that moment, Kushina Uzumaki interrupted her husband's thoughts: "Minato, Naruto is about to begin!"

Minato Namikaze looked closely and saw that Naruto had already raised his hands.

The next moment, the couple stared blankly.

boom!

Suddenly, Minato Namikaze's desk collapsed with a crash, having been smashed to pieces by Kushina Uzumaki.

Brush brush!

Three ANBU ninjas appeared, and then they saw their Hokage with an awkward smile on his face.

The three exchanged a glance and then quickly disappeared.

"Jiraiya-sensei..."

Kushina Uzumaki's red hair was flying wildly, and her fists were cracking.

To avoid being implicated, Minato Namikaze quickly said, "Nawaki and Naruto together should have learned this technique from Jiraiya-sensei as well."

Upon hearing this, Kushina Uzumaki immediately vanished, saying, "I'm going to find Lady Tsunade!"

Watching his wife leave, Minato Namikaze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but worry: "If Nawaki also learns it, won't Jiraiya-sensei get killed by Tsunade?"

However, considering the abilities of his disciple, Hoshino Shuichi, Minato Namikaze immediately put aside his worries and then instructed people to replace his desk.

the other side.

Kushina Uzumaki rushed to the experimental base to complain to Tsunade.

Tsunade gritted her teeth upon hearing this: "That bastard Jiraiya!"

Hot Spring Street.

On the roof of the hot spring house, Jiraiya, who was taking photos, suddenly sneezed, and screams erupted below.

Jiraiya hurriedly ran away, escaping death thanks to his transformation and clone techniques. As soon as he came out of the alley, he saw Tsunade and Kushina Uzumaki blocking his way.

"Tsunade, Kushina, what a coincidence that you're here!"

Jiraiya greeted him with a smile, but he was already very wary inside.

He sensed danger, and Tsunade had activated her cursed seal, hands on her hips—it was clear from her posture that she meant no harm.

"No wonder they saw what happened just now?"

Jiraiya secretly guessed and prepared to run away at any time.

"Jiraiya-sensei, did you teach Naruto and the others a new technique?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked.

Before Jiraiya could answer, Tsunade shouted, "No need for so many questions, just grab him!"

As he spoke, he had already darted forward.

"really……"

Jiraiya immediately made his escape.

boom!

Tsunade stomped down, the floor exploded, but the attack missed.

Seeing this, Kushina Uzumaki had no choice but to take action, and her chains clattered and roared out.

Jiraiya, who had scattered and fled, was bound by chains.

But it's either a clone or a substitute.

"Over there!"

Tsunade shouted and immediately leaped after him, with Kushina Uzumaki following closely behind, causing a chaotic scene.

Jiraiya fled while devising countermeasures.

He could handle Tsunade alone, even with her cursed seal, but adding Kushina Uzumaki, a former Nine-Tails Jinchuriki skilled in sealing techniques, would be troublesome.

Seeing that he was about to be caught, Jiraiya smiled helplessly: "Looks like I have no choice but to use that technique!"

He then formed hand seals: Reverse Spirit Summoning Technique!

The next moment, Jiraiya vanished and reappeared beside Gamabunta at Mount Myōboku.

"Hahaha, Tsunade and Kushina must be very surprised!"

Gamabunta looked at Jiraiya, who had suddenly appeared, with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why did you suddenly appear?"

"Could it be that you've completed that space-time ninjutsu you mentioned before?!"

Jiraiya immediately laughed proudly, "How about it? Not bad, right?"

"From now on, you won't need to use the Reverse Summoning Technique anymore; I can enter Mount Myōboku on my own!"

This is a space-time ninjutsu he developed based on the Reverse Summoning Technique after studying Hoshino Shuichi's notes on space-time ninjutsu.

That is to use the connection of the summoning scroll to teleport oneself to the side of a person or ninja beast with whom one has a summoning relationship.

This looks like the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, compared to the Flying Thunder God technique, it has far more limitations.

It can be described as a more complex version of Flying Thunder God, because it requires a psychic connection.

Unlike the Flying Thunder God, which only requires a mark and can even redirect enemy attacks.

But it's really useful for escaping.

……

Meanwhile, in Konoha Village, Tsunade and Kushina Uzumaki stood at the spot where Jiraiya had disappeared, both looking puzzled.

"Is it a clone?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked, somewhat uncertainly.

Tsunade frowned and shook her head: "No."

"It looks like a reverse psychic technique, but it's probably not that simple."

Kushina Uzumaki exclaimed in surprise, "Has Jiraiya-sensei developed a new space-time ninjutsu?"

"I remember that Jiraiya-sensei borrowed Shuichi's notebook on space-time ninjutsu from Minato!"

Tsunade snorted coldly, "Looks like he's developed a space-time ninjutsu. This guy... clearly has ninjutsu talent, but he just wastes it on some boring ninjutsu."

Jiraiya fled, and the two headed back home, preparing to teach Naruto and Nawaki a lesson after school.

Konoha Ninja Academy.

Classroom order has been restored, Iruka's nosebleed has been wiped clean, and all student assessments have been completed.

Iruka announced, "Next, all students who have passed the assessment, please write down what chakra nature transformations you will be learning next and submit it tomorrow."

Still smug, Naruto immediately shouted, "Iruka-sensei, I want to learn Wind Release: Nature Transformation!"

Iruka roared in near-frenzy, "Write it down on paper and hand it in tomorrow!"

"Also, we must go back and ask the parents for their advice."

"Especially you, Naruto, I will personally question the Fourth Hokage. You are absolutely not allowed to make decisions on your own!"

Naruto immediately pouted and muttered, "Uncle Shuichi will definitely support me!"

"He said I would become the strongest Wind Release ninja!"

Nara Shikamaru was speechless: "Shuichi-sama might be joking with you!"

"After all, Lord Shuichi once said that I would become the most powerful Shadow Technique Ninja."

Choji Akimichi quickly replied, "Me too!"

At this moment, Iruka tapped the podium: "Next, I will explain the theory of property change once again."

"Everyone must listen carefully, as I will test you on what I've covered today tomorrow."

The classroom fell silent.

Iruka began explaining the theory of nature transformation, but Naruto's mind was already elsewhere, and he didn't hear a single word Iruka said.

Meanwhile, Sasuke Uchiha's mind was not on the class either.

He already knew the theory of changes in properties by heart, so he didn't need to listen to lectures anymore.

He was already looking forward to learning Fire Release: Nature Transformation from his father ahead of time, so he could give his older brother Itachi a surprise when he returned. (End of Chapter)
