Naruto: My version is ahead of the ninja world

Learn knowledge? Learn what, ninjutsu?

This is certainly a good thing. If it is an opportunity to learn various ninjutsu, such a reward is certainly very significant. The only problem is that this opportunity came a little late.

Yu Xian has entered the Nine-Tailed Fox's Chaos instance multiple times, and so far he has mastered five escape techniques. Regardless of their specific battlefield applications, Yu Xian does know at least a little about them.

Although most escape techniques are commonly used and few can be mastered to the extreme like the Body Flicker Technique, ninjas who can master all five escape techniques are still very rare.

However, since Yu Xian had not been on any combat missions recently, he had not yet had time to organize most of the techniques he had mastered, and he did not want to easily reveal his Five Elements abilities.

In terms of ninjutsu, Yugen plans to focus on fire and wind ninjutsu, and the next step is to research more practical lightning ninjutsu based on Chidori.

If Yugen had received the official learning opportunity earlier, he would definitely have been grateful, but now he already has everything he could possibly need. The reward given by the Third Hokage was more of a smokescreen.

Once Yugen had an official provenance for the ninjutsu he had secretly mastered, he could use it openly and legitimately.

"Lord Hokage, please explain in detail how this opportunity to learn comes about."

Overall, Yu Xian was quite interested in the reward.

He's quite pragmatic and doesn't care about being an advisor or anything like that. After all, he's not a Konoha advisor to the Hokage; he's basically just a figurehead.

"The village is prepared to grant you access to the Ninjutsu Library, where you can borrow some scrolls of ninjutsu and sealing techniques," the Third Hokage said with a smile.

Yugen and Kohinata Shingen exchanged a glance; the latter clearly hadn't expected such a good thing to actually happen.

In other words, this is a classic case of returning a favor, and now even Shinonome Kohinata feels that their "patented invention" has received a substantial reward.

"Thank you very much, Lord Hokage." Needless to say, the best course of action at this moment is to accept the offer first and then express gratitude.

"Hehe, I'm glad you're satisfied." The Third Hokage was clearly knowledgeable; he knew that these ninjas from less privileged backgrounds would naturally cherish the means to acquire ninjutsu.

Yu Xian understood, of course, that the techniques they were allowed to learn so openly couldn't be anything too advanced, but for ordinary ninjas, having these was already like a windfall.

It's obvious that the ninjutsu library they're qualified to access is definitely not the same as the secret technique library in the dungeon. You definitely won't find high-level, unique ninjutsu there, let alone secret techniques.

As for forbidden techniques or books of sealing, forget about it.

"Going forward, we will need your continued assistance in both the production of scientific ninja tools and the formation of teams that use them," the Third Hokage added.

"Lord Hokage, we will certainly do our utmost to provide assistance."

Yugen and Kohinata immediately expressed their determination to provide the ninja village with opportunities for exploitation.

After offering a few words of encouragement, the Third Hokage had an ANBU ninja lead them out of the Hokage's office. Guided by the ANBU ninja, the two headed towards the library.

As expected, the location was different from where Yu Xian knew. This library was on the second floor of the Hokage's office building, on the east side, not in the basement.

The ANBU ninja then introduced them to the ninja guarding the library. After verifying various documents, they were given passes to enter and exit the library.

"Only the person holding the certificate can enter and exit. The ninjutsu scrolls in the library can only be read here. You cannot take them out or copy them. If you violate the rules, it won't be as simple as just losing your qualification... Do you understand?" The guarding ninja said this while handing two certificates to Yu Xuan and the other person with a cold face.

"Understood... Can we go in now?"

"Can."

Yu Xian nodded to the two ninjas, then stepped into the library.

The bookstore looks quite large, like a library with rows of bookshelves, but I wonder how many of the scroll books are truly valuable.

Upon entering, Yu Xian discovered that besides them, there were several other people flipping through the scrolls... The presence of other people was a good sign.

Too many people often indicate that the knowledge here is of low value or too basic; too few people, or no one but the two of them, may indicate that the knowledge here is of no value at all.

Yuzuru and Kohinata Shingen went their separate ways, each searching for something that interested them.

After wandering around inside for about half an hour, Yu Xian finally found a ninjutsu he had always wanted... no, not just one.

Yugen found two physical clone techniques: Water Release: Water Clone Technique (C) with attribute change, and Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Technique (B) without attribute change.

Although the Shadow Clone Technique is a high-level clone technique with a high learning difficulty, it is very practical and widely used. It is quite reasonable for this ninjutsu to appear here—after all, it is just a shadow clone, not the forbidden-level Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

As for water clones, it's even simpler. This technique originated from Kirigakure, so leaving it here for Konoha ninjas to learn is like selling off one's inheritance without a second thought.

Using Hidden Mist techniques against Hidden Mist ninjas is, in a sense, a form of... well, using their own methods against them.

Yu Xian memorized the Shadow Clone Technique after just a couple of glances. Although this technique was more difficult to learn, Yu Xian was already proficient in the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique from the same lineage, so he was able to learn it quickly.

In terms of principles, once you understand them all, you can apply them all. In terms of learning difficulty, it is backward compatible... The Sword Shadow Clone Technique is at level A difficulty.

Yugen quickly memorized the two ninjutsu techniques, and then he began searching for scrolls related to lightning release.

He quickly found a scroll about learning, practicing, and mastering lightning attribute nature transformations, as well as controlling and shaping lightning release techniques.

The knowledge points recorded on the scroll are fundamental and solid; even Yu Xian can see that it is one of the best teaching materials available.

He couldn't help but look back at the very front of the scroll, and then discovered that the scroll's author was named Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"..."

Well, it can only be said that there are differences among the Five Elements Ninjas. As one of the Five Kage, the Third Hokage's strength is undeniable.

Yugen and Kohinata Shingen plunged headlong into the library, quickly losing track of time. Yugen was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar, spending most of his time on the scroll he had just acquired.

It wasn't until the guarding ninja told them that the library was going to be closed at a certain time and kicked them out that Yugen realized it was already dark.

"I've never loved studying this much in my entire life..."

Yu Xian looked at the lights outside and then gave the most appropriate assessment of the day.
