Konoha's lexicon of ninjas

Chapter 84 The Ninja Technique Doctor! (10,000-word update, please subscribe to all chapters)

Kakashi was discharged from the hospital after two days.

As time passed, in mid-March, the Konoha Ninja Academy also ushered in a wave of graduations.

Sarutobi Asuma, Kurenai Yuhi, Obito Uchiha, Rin Nohara, and others graduated ahead of schedule.

After spending more than a year in Konoha Hospital living a comfortable life, Hoshino Shuichi keenly sensed something unusual.

The ninja world seems to be getting lively.

The day after Sarutobi Asuma and the others graduated, Hoshino Shuichi arrived at Minato Namikaze's house with a scroll, but to his surprise, only Uzumaki Kushina was there.

Kushina Uzumaki led Shuichi Hoshino into the house and said with a smile, "Minato brought a new genin, but he should be back soon."

Hoshino Hideichi listened thoughtfully.

Although he changed some things, the wheels of fate still rolled across his face.

But some things are different now.

……

"Let's study sealing techniques first!"

"I've discovered a very interesting sealing technique."

Kushina Uzumaki took out a scroll that seemed to have been gathering dust for quite some time, interrupting Shuichi Hoshino's thoughts.

After opening the scroll and examining it closely, Hoshino Hideichi's gaze immediately sharpened.

This technique... Corpse Demon Sealing Technique!

"Master's wife, this technique... is somewhat dangerous!"

A beautiful scene unfolds beneath the stars.

Kushina Uzumaki nodded and smiled, "It is indeed very dangerous, like the Inner Four Symbols Seal."

"But it's also very interesting, as it can seal away the soul."

"I remember that Konoha also has a secret technique that allows the spirit to leave the body. Such a ninjutsu is very rare in the ninja world and is worth studying."

What she didn't say was that she was researching this sealing technique to see if she could use it to deal with the annoying thing in her belly.

Hoshino Shuichi nodded in agreement upon hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words.

Indeed, although this is a sealing technique that results in mutual destruction, it also has great research value.

So the two of them got together to study the Shiki-no-Kami seal, a sealing technique with some strange aspects.

Lunch was prepared by Hoshino Shuichi, and Minato Namikaze didn't get home until after 3 p.m., bringing with him a group photo.

When Hoshino Shuichi took the document, he saw that it was indeed Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.

Placing the photo frame next to the one featuring him, Minato Namikaze, Shisui Uchiha, and Sanyou Kurama, Hoshino asked, "Minato-sensei, the situation in the ninja world seems to be a bit different lately."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "All the major ninja villages are quite active, and the villages are starting to run out of manpower."

Kushina Uzumaki was taken aback: "It's gotten to this point?"

Minato Namikaze explained, "Besides the actions of the major ninja villages, it's also related to the increased workload of missions."

Hideichi Hoshino understood that this was likely related to the economic development, political exchanges, and even conflicts among major powers.

Furthermore, following the Second Shinobi World War, they should now be at the peak of their recovery.

Although the Ninja World War was almost entirely a war between ninjas, it did cause some damage to people's lives.

Just look at the Land of Rain; it was ravaged by the Second Shinobi World War and has yet to recover.

There are countless ninja organizations.

This is just like those militants in my past life. How do they support themselves if they don't engage in productive work?

Furthermore, don't think of ninjas' moral standards as too high; not everyone is Naruto.

Arson, murder, and looting were common occurrences.

Even Hoshino Shuichi wouldn't dare say that Konoha ninjas wouldn't rob civilians during wartime.

Such a situation will inevitably damage social production and stability.

Only the Land of Fire was not attacked by outsiders and did not suffer major damage.

Leaving aside the Second Shinobi World War, let's talk about the conflict between Konoha and Sunagakure in the Land of Rivers before that.

When the two sides go to war, the towns affected by the fighting will inevitably be filled with fear, prices will rise, and business activity will decline.

This doesn't even include the fact that the battle directly affected civilians and destroyed towns.

……

After explaining, Minato Namikaze turned to Shuichi Hoshino and said, "Shuichi, your days at Konoha Hospital are probably coming to an end."

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Understood."

He already had a premonition.

Given his previous demonstrated strength and talent in ninjutsu, how could Hiruzen Sarutobi possibly allow him to remain a simple medical ninja hidden in Konoha Hospital?

If he were the Third Hokage, he would have to work hard to get him to obey orders.

Minato Namikaze further revealed, "The Third Hokage mentioned before that he would arrange for you to undergo special training at Root before entering the Anbu, which is directly under the Hokage's command."

Speaking of Root, Kushina Uzumaki immediately frowned: "Those guys in Root, especially Danzo, are really annoying."

"Furthermore, I heard from Lady Tsunade that you, Shuichi, had a conflict with Danzo."

Minato Namikaze quickly smiled and reassured him, "Anbu members have been undergoing Root training for a long time, so don't worry."

"Moreover, it was personally arranged by the Third Hokage, so there won't be any problems."

Minato Namikaze then looked at Shuichi Hoshita and said, "Of course, Shuichi, you also need to be wary of going there."

Hoshita Hideichi laughed and said, "Minato-sensei, don't worry, I can handle it."

He used to dare to complain, but now he dares to directly turn hostile and take action!

After finishing this, Hoshino Hideichi quickly brought out the reels he had brought earlier.

First, this is the scroll of sensory ninjutsu that Minato Namikaze gave me before, which is being returned.

Secondly, there is a copy made by Hoshino Shuichi himself, which contains his modifications to the techniques and hand seals, as well as his insights from his training process.

Upon seeing the scroll, Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "It seems you've completed your training in this technique, Shuichi. A year has passed quickly!"

However, when he opened the record containing Hoshino Shuichi's training insights, his expression immediately became serious.

Seeing this, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but feel curious and stepped forward to investigate. She then exclaimed in surprise, "Shuichi, you modified the jutsu! There's even Minato's handprint?"

Hoshino Shuichi humbly replied, "It's just a tiny little change."

Minato Namikaze sincerely praised, "This is not a small change, but an improvement."

"Shuichi, your understanding of this technique has surpassed mine, and even surpassed that of the Second Hokage."

Kushina Uzumaki gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

Hoshino Hideichi laughed and said, "I only managed to do this by standing on the shoulders of the Second Hokage and Minato-sensei."

Minato Namikaze looked at the name of the ninjutsu on the scroll and smiled, "Listening Technique, the name is quite unique and fitting."

He thought for a moment and said, "Shuichi, should we submit this to the village?"

Hoshita Hideyuki nodded: "Minato-sensei, I've been researching space-time ninjutsu lately, so I'd like to exchange some space-time ninjutsu from the village."

Kushina Uzumaki laughed and said, "It seems you want to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique in the future."

Hideaki Hoshino has been quite frank: "The Flying Thunder God Technique is very difficult, which is why I need to make some preparations now."

Minato Namikaze smiled and readily agreed, "No problem, the Third Hokage wouldn't refuse."

"As for space-time ninjutsu, I remember that the Second Hokage developed a technique called Mutual Multiplication Explosive Tags, which also involves space-time and allows for further application of summoning techniques."

Shuichi Hoshita immediately decided, "Minato-sensei, that's it!"

The entry for "Messenger of Time and Space" is more difficult to obtain than one might imagine, because reverse spirit communication is not recognized.

Because it is essentially no different from psychic arts.

On the contrary, the spirit talisman, which combines spirit communication techniques and space-sealing spells, is recognized by the term tree.

……

After deciding on the ninjutsu to be exchanged, Hoshino Shuichi took the last scroll and handed it to Namikaze Minato, saying with a smile, "Minato-sensei, this is for you."

"I?"

Minato Namikaze curiously accepted it.

Kushina Uzumaki asked, "Is it ninjutsu?"

Minato Namikaze's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Shuichi, could it be an advanced version of the Rasengan?"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and teased, "Teacher, you'll find out when you open it."

So Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki got together and opened the scroll. The first thing they saw was the name of the technique.

"really……"

Minato Namikaze exclaimed in amazement, "As expected of Shuichi!"

"Wind Release: Rasengan..."

Kushina Uzumaki asked, "Is it transforming into a shuriken?"

"Could this technique be thrown like a shuriken?"

Hoshita Shuichi gave a thumbs up: "No wonder she's a woman destined to become Hokage!"

Kushina Uzumaki was immediately overjoyed, completely unaware that Shuichi Hoshino was referring to a woman, not a female ninja.

Minato Namikaze had already fully rolled up the scroll, exclaiming in amazement as he watched, "What a perfect design!"

"The Wind Release nature transformation and form transformation have been used to their fullest extent; it's definitely an S-rank Wind Release ninjutsu!"

Kushina Uzumaki said, "Shuichi, is this the second S-rank difficulty ninjutsu you've developed?"

Hoshino Hideichi held up three fingers: "To be precise, it's the third one."

"sharp!"

Kushina Uzumaki looked at Minato Namikaze: "Minato, in the history of Konoha, there probably hasn't been anyone who did what Shuichi did, right?"

"Shuichi has just turned nine!"

Minato Namikaze replied seriously, "Indeed, no."

"Even the Second Hokage, who developed the most ninjutsu and forbidden techniques, did not achieve such accomplishments at Shuichi's age."

"Shuichi, following in the footsteps of the Third Hokage, you'll probably be called the 'Professor of Ninjutsu' too!"

Hoshita Hideichi shook his head and said, "The Third Hokage was proficient in all five great ninjutsu, while I am currently only proficient in Fire Release and Wind Release."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the tree of entries in his mind stir.

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki said, "That's already amazing. You still have several decades to go, and you'll definitely surpass the Third Hokage."

With her hands on her hips, she laughed triumphantly, "I'm the future Fourth Hokage, so Shuichi, you're the Fifth!"

Hideichi Hoshino nodded repeatedly, thinking it was a good suggestion.

……

On his way out of Minato Namikaze's house, Shuichi Hoshita immediately became distracted and checked the newly appeared leaves of the Word Tree.

"It really is this."

Hoshino Shuichi smiled to himself.

Entry: [Ninja Doctor]

Acquisition Requirements: Collect all five expert entries for the five major escape techniques (Wind Release, Fire Release, Lightning Release, Earth Release, and Water Release).

Effects: Ninjutsu talent increased by 100%, Chakra Nature Transformation talent increased by 100%, Chakra Form Transformation talent increased by 100%, Constitution increased by 100%; Aside from bloodline limits, what ninjutsu can possibly stump you? None!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," and he truly deserved the title.

Besides the five common escape techniques, Hiruzen Sarutobi is also proficient in illusion techniques and sealing techniques.

He must have developed quite a few ninjutsu, such as the Telescope Technique, which can be considered a sensory ninjutsu.

And the Shadow Clone Technique with its swords is so economical with ninja tools.

However, the "Ninja Doctor" entry in the entry tree is clearly more astonishing.

Once you master this term, even difficult space-time ninjutsu will no longer be a problem.

However, this skill is not easy to obtain. So far, Hoshino Shuichi has only obtained the skills for "Wind Release Expert" and "Fire Release Expert".

"We really can't afford to slack off even a little bit!"

He sighed inwardly, but Hoshino Shuichi was still full of energy.

Surviving the Third Shinobi World War and killing Danzo required considerable strength!

This can only be considered his short-term goal.

Thinking this to himself, Hoshino Hideichi quickened his pace.

……

The next day, Hoshino Shuichi obtained the scroll of the Mutual Multiplication Explosion Tags technique from Minato Namikaze.

As for the Wind Release: Rasengan Shuriken technique, Minato Namikaze did not ask whether it should be submitted to the village, because this technique was entirely original, unlike the Listening Technique.

Of course, Hoshino Shuichi could also exchange the Wind Release: Rasengan for ninjutsu from the village.

But there's no need for that right now.

Moreover, there are some things you have to keep in reserve.

S-rank is very difficult, but the current Wind Release: Rasengan is not the half-finished product that Naruto developed, but the complete version, with a very clear path to gradually complete it.

Hoshino Shuichi didn't believe that anyone other than himself and Minato Namikaze couldn't control Konoha.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was one thing, but if Danzo, that old fox who was proficient in Wind Release, mastered this technique, wouldn't it be a joke when they fought?
