Naruto: My setting is above yours.

Putting aside the Flying Thunder God technique being a bug, Tobirama Senju's actions undoubtedly materialized his Will of Fire.

This also set an example for Hiruzen Sarutobi and his group.

However, from Genma's perspective as an observer, or even from God's point of view, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo were both inheritors and carried forward parts of Tobirama Senju's philosophy.

Hiruzen Sarutobi inherited the gentle side of Tobirama Senju, or rather, he inherited more of Hashirama Senju's philosophy, advocating the protection of the village, and protecting the "order" framework of Konoha through gentle means.

However, he also knew very well that warm sunlight alone was not enough for the trees.

Therefore, Danzo, who inherited the dark and ruthless side of Tobirama Senju, was also needed.

However, Danzo was more extreme than Tobirama Senju and lacked sufficient courage. He gradually became only dark, obsessed with power struggles and the position of Hokage.

Whether it was Hiruzen Sarutobi's scheme to make himself and Danzo represent the light and darkness of Konoha respectively, or his awareness of his own character flaws, the current situation in Konoha has been set.

And barring any unforeseen circumstances, this situation will persist for many years, creating countless hidden dangers.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi ultimately upheld the ideal of sacrificing himself to protect the village and conveyed the spirit of the Will of Fire, he still needed to bear leadership responsibility for the dirty deeds Danzo committed, even if he was unaware of them.

For example, stealing Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan.

Perhaps Orochimaru also wanted to give Naruto a proper ending.

Of course, Xuanma's thinking at this moment may not be objective enough.

Objectively speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi does seem overly cowardly, if we disregard conspiracy theories.

Otherwise, why would you say that Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo were best buddies who understood each other very well?

As Hiruzen Sarutobi finished his speech, Genma's thoughts gradually returned to normal.

Watching Hiruzen Sarutobi's departing figure, Genma felt he needed to continue observing calmly.

He didn't know enough about Hiruzen Sarutobi in front of him.

……

After half an hour.

Under the tree outside the Hokage Building, Genma, holding a dark blue Chunin vest and a ninjutsu scroll, made Shizune and Yamashiro Aoba extremely envious.

However, Genma didn't particularly like the Chunin vest: "This vest's defensive capabilities are so-so, not as good as my Iron Armor."

Shizune, holding the vest, smiled and said, "That's true, but for most people, this vest is more convenient than the armor."

Yamashiro Aoba nodded in agreement.

He felt that Xuanma's iron armor was too heavy and not flexible enough.

It's only suitable for physically strong monsters.

Of course, besides envying the vest, he was even more envious of the ninjutsu scroll that Genma was holding.

"Genma, what ninjutsu did you choose? It should be S-rank, right?"

"What does the Book of Seals look like?"

"Are there many forbidden techniques inside?"

Yamashiro Aoba asked a series of questions.

Shizune was also very curious: "Being able to choose ninjutsu from the Book of Seals is really rare."

Genma shrugged slightly: "You might be disappointed."

"I did not see the real Book of Seals, only a catalog, and it was limited to illusion magic."

Shizune was slightly disappointed: "Eh, only illusions?"

"It's a pity."

Xuanma smiled and said, "Not bad. If illusions are used well, they can easily determine the outcome of a battle."

Yamashiro Aoba said, "Illusion techniques might indeed be the most suitable for you, so what kind of technique did you choose?"

"Darkness Movement Technique, a visual illusion technique, is said to have been developed by the Second Generation and is classified as Rank A."

Xuanma introduced with a smile.

He strongly suspected that this genjutsu, whether developed by Hashirama Senju or Tobirama Senju, was specifically designed to target the Uchiha clan.

At that moment, Sakumo Hatake came over from the Hokage Building and beckoned to the three of them: "Let's go, I'll treat you to barbecue to celebrate Genma and Shizune becoming Chunin."

"Of course, Aoba, don't be discouraged."

"With your strength, becoming a Chunin is no problem at all. You can apply for the exam again in November."

In addition to the annual Chunin Exams, Konoha ninjas can also apply for the exams freely.

However, if you fail the assessment, you must wait three months before you can apply again.

Yamashiro Aoba wasn't bothered by failing the test and calmly said, "Teacher Sakumo, I have absolute confidence. After all, I am Genma's companion."

In terms of Yin escape, or rather, perception, he did indeed receive guidance and assistance from Genma.

Hearing what Yamashiro Aoba said, Genma and the other two couldn't help but smile, and then walked together toward the barbecue restaurant.

at the same time.

At Ichiraku Ramen, Minato Namikaze and three others celebrate Kakashi becoming a Chunin.

However, Obito Uchiha, with a first aid patch on his face, was in a bad mood.

“Obito, your strength is actually not bad, it's just that…”

Minato Namikaze carefully considered his words: "You are not composed enough, not calm enough, and not focused enough."

"If you can do these things, becoming a Chunin should be a piece of cake for you."

Obito Uchiha perked up upon hearing this: "Really?"

Rin Nohara immediately chimed in, "Of course the teacher wouldn't lie, Obito, we all believe you!"

Obito Uchiha gradually regained his composure: "Thank you, Rin."

"Unlike some people..."

Kakashi scoffed, "If you don't get rid of those bad habits, you'll be a genin forever!"

"Also, Lin, don't spoil him too much."

"Minato-sensei, you too."

Unexpectedly, Minato Namikaze was also criticized, and he scratched his head awkwardly: "Haha, it's not that serious!"

Obito Uchiha was furious: "Kakashi, don't be so arrogant. I can definitely become a Chunin."

"Once I awaken my Sharingan, I'll definitely be able to defeat you!"

Kakashi curled his lip in disdain: "Tch!"

Minato Namikaze put down his chopsticks and reached out to hold the two of them down: "Obito, even though you are a genin, you are still a qualified ninja. You need to mature."

"And Kakashi, now that you've become a Chunin, you must shoulder even more responsibility."

"The teacher is not asking you to give in to Obito more, but rather to treat him with the right attitude."

Kakashi remained silent, but he took it to heart: "If he doesn't listen next time, I'll teach him a lesson and make him change!"

Nohara Rin was immediately delighted upon hearing this.

Obito Uchiha, unconvinced, muttered, "I'm not afraid of you!"

Nohara Rin immediately stared at him seriously: "Obito!"

Obito Uchiha's momentum immediately weakened, and he blushed, too afraid to speak.

Minato Namikaze chuckled and patted the two on the shoulder: "Alright, we've reached a temporary agreement. Let's eat!"

Chapter 48 The Art of Spirit Communication 1.0

By the time we finished eating, the streetlights had already come on.

After watching Obito Uchiha and Rin Nohara leave, Minato Namikaze patted Kakashi on the shoulder: "Let's go for a walk!"

Kakashi stepped forward to catch up.

“I heard from Senior Sakumo that you are already training in Lightning Release: Instantaneous Body Technique.”

Minami Namikaze.

Kakashi nodded: "Yes, Genma developed it himself."

"Activate cells, including nerve cells, with Lightning Release chakra to enhance explosive power, speed, and nerve reaction speed."

"However, this requires a high level of chakra control and is somewhat dangerous. It requires the use of shadow clones for training, so progress is currently slow."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "Genma is a medical ninja, and he does indeed have a great advantage in chakra manipulation."

"Lightning Release: Body Flicker can make up for the shortcomings of your Chidori, and it suits you perfectly. This is a very bright path, and I believe Kakashi can also achieve it."

"However, I also have a ninjutsu here that would suit you."

Kakashi looked up upon hearing this: "Is that the teacher's Body Flicker Technique?"

Minato Namikaze nodded: "Yes, it's called the Flying Thunder God Technique, which belongs to the space-time ninjutsu category."

"If I'm not mistaken, Xuanma has also mastered a similar technique."

Kakashi said, "Genma's technique is a substitution jutsu, but it is indeed a space-time ninjutsu."

Minato Namikaze was taken aback, then laughed and exclaimed, "What a genius!"

Kakashi nodded in complete agreement.

Minato Namikaze continued, "The Flying Thunder God Technique is classified as S-rank in difficulty, involving a great deal of knowledge and placing high demands on the practitioner."

"For example, it has the ability to perceive and has a strong ability to react."

"You also need to know sealing techniques."

"Of course, the most basic is the art of spirit communication, but that should be no problem for you."

Kakashi was surprised: "Summoning Jutsu?"

Minato Namikaze explained with a smile, "The Summoning Technique can be said to be the most common space-time ninjutsu in the ninja world, and it can even be said to be the most basic one."
