Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

"Master Yuzhen, why do I feel a little cold?"

"It will be fine after some conditioning."

Yuzhen reached out and pressed Hatake Sakumo's shoulder, and then the other party stopped shaking and felt cold.

The strength of Hatake Sakumo in his impression of Haneki is not comparable to Haneki's current strength at all... After the coldness was dispelled, Hatake Sakumo finally woke up completely.

"Master Yuzhen, you don't seem to have changed at all."

This is of course referring specifically to the fact that Yuzhen's appearance hasn't changed much. This lack of change isn't good news for Hatake Sakumo, so he continues to ask with a hint of trepidation:

"What time is it now? Have I really returned to the original time?"

"What do you mean nothing has changed? Look at the top of my head. What do you call it? It's called 'pitiful white hair'... If you go back home now, you might even see your own blood."

This statement made Hatake Sakumo a little embarrassed. There had been so many time-travel incidents, but only Hatake Sakumo had injured himself while traveling, and even caused a misunderstanding.

This statement made Hatake Sakumo breathe a sigh of relief. As long as he was back, he was glad. His inertia made him not care too much about the overly young Yuzhen. Anyway, in his impression, Yuzhen had always been so young.

After confirming that he had returned to his original era, Hatake Sakumo was even a little "homesick".

So he didn't rush home, but instead asked about the old popsicle next to him.

"Lord Yuzhen, if I'm not mistaken, the person frozen in ice should be Orochimaru, right? Is it really him? Why is this?"

After the matter was over and he received the evaluation of "this was a successful time travel", Yu Zhen felt that there was nothing to hide, so he explained:

"This Orochimaru's situation is similar to yours. He is also in the process of 'travelling'... Now I can explain to you what it means to travel back to the original timeline."

Afterwards, Yuzhen explained the basic principles of the Ice Condensation Earth Method of Crossing to Hatake Sakumo.

Because this method was very local, Hatake understood it immediately.

"In other words, I didn't experience any space-time ninjutsu at all. Theoretically, it's equivalent to being 'sealed'. After the seal is lifted, it will only span several decades?"

Hatake Sakumo was quite speechless, but for the moment he couldn't find anything to be dissatisfied with... Although being frozen in ice did not seem advanced enough compared to the space-time ninjutsu, the result was the same.

"Any questions?"

"Not really."

"Then you may leave. Orochimaru's affairs must be kept strictly confidential... Remember to change your clothes before leaving."

"Yes, Master Yuzhen."

It would be better for Hatake Sakumo to show up quickly, otherwise who knows what kind of trouble might happen.

If Hatake Sakumo, who returned to his original time and space, wanted to study the history of "Ganbunchui", he would understand why Orochimaru was sealed here... Hatake at least knew that he was not cut out for scientific research or medicine.

In short, it was just a false alarm last night, and most people didn't even know that Konoha Village was lucky enough to avoid a fight.

However, since this was an abnormal incident that happened in Konoha Village, it was impossible to keep it secret. At least a large number of Firefly ninjas gathered at the home of the Firefly leader at night, and even the previous generation of Firefly leader was dispatched. This matter was definitely unusual.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was interpreted by Konoha's top management as some kind of danger signal.

However, everything was peaceful until the next day, and the Konoha high-level officials were not in a position to directly ask what happened yesterday.

However, this incident also served as a wake-up call to some people.

In the afternoon, when Yumiya Genkui was strolling in the village, she suddenly said:

"Looks like it's time to resume my identity as a Firefly Ninja."

She has relatively rich channels for obtaining information, but the speed is a little slow.

"Huh? What do you mean, Aoi-san?"

Tsunade, who was shopping with her, was a little confused. "How did you become a Firefly Ninja again? Although everyone has given up the Senju surname, you are obviously the representative of the Senju."

"What do you mean? My mother is a Firefly Ninja, so of course I am a Firefly Ninja too. I just haven't officially joined the organization." Yumiya Genkui said as a matter of course.

However, Tsunade knew her better. What was she trying to do?

Tsunade approached Aoi and whispered, "Sister Aoi, the war has just ended. Are you planning a coup?"

Aoi rolled her eyes at her and thought that Tsunade had a very rich imagination.

How could they, with their orthodox background, possibly stage a coup? They have the blood of two generations of Hokage in their veins, and have made a name for themselves in the war. Well, they are already regarded as the "successors of the will of fire."

If a coup were to take place, all their positive accumulation would instantly turn negative.

"Why take the wrong path when we can take the right path? We can only take the right path, otherwise no one will follow us."

Aoi is still very clear-headed. The means can be varied, but the path must be right.

"Then what are you..."

"I'm just making preparations in advance. Don't worry, even though the Third Generation is a dull knife, a dull knife has its uses."

“Isn’t that a bad way of putting it?”

"Of course you can't say that. After all, the Third Hokage is your teacher... What I mean is that the Third Hokage is old and strong, and he can just play a role."

"What does it do?"

"Various roles, but mainly the role of scapegoating."

Seeing that Tsunade's brain wasn't working well enough, Hagiya Genkui simply explained further:

"Let me put it this way. War is the world's pressure relief valve. Although this war is over, it hasn't released enough pressure... Even if you simply think that not enough people died in the major ninja villages, that's fine."

"Therefore, I can assert that the next war will happen again soon, and its intensity will far exceed the previous two Ninja World Wars."

"Once an extremely brutal war breaks out, the pressure faced by the village can be imagined. At that time, the Hokage will be forced to break some inherent bottom lines and principles, which will inevitably cause widespread dissatisfaction among the Konoha ninja."

"But there are some things ... that anyone in that position has to do."

"If I were Hokage, I would also have to cross the line, so it's a good thing that I'm not Hokage yet."

This seems to make some sense. Sometimes only by staying out of things can one be "great, glorious and righteous", but if one is in a position of power, one has to get his hands dirty.

All we can say is that Aoi was playing a little game of "Hoover and Roosevelt". First of all, the cyclical crisis was not the former's fault; he just had the bad luck to catch up with it.

Secondly, although the former had begun to alleviate the "Great Depression" in the later period of his administration, he was destined to be criticized. It was only the latter who could lead the "Kingdom of Thunder" out of the predicament and win all the reputation.

"I understand. This means that in the just-concluded Ninja World War, the various ninja villages were just gambling for fun, but next time everyone goes to the gambling table, they will have to gamble their lives." Tsunade said.

"That's true, but I always feel that your analogy is strange... The war is over, but the major ninja villages have not given up their respective strategic goals, so war will soon break out again."

"So... the Sandaime is going to take the blame?"

"Well, that's not the right way to put it. The Hokage must shoulder his responsibilities as a Hokage."

"Sister Kui, speaking of breaking the bottom line, what do you think is the easiest bottom line to break?"

Yumiya Genkui sighed and said, "The Fire Country has excellent natural conditions, but it is a central country with no strategic location to defend, which means it is a place of war."

"so?"

"So Konoha will be short on manpower... People under fifteen are prohibited from going to the battlefield. This restriction will definitely be lifted."

Tsunade fell silent instantly. If this ancestral rule was broken, the Third Hokage would be infamous for eternity.

However, as Aoi said, if the next Ninja World War is truly unprecedentedly fierce, this restriction will be lifted no matter who becomes Hokage.

All I can say is that Hanemiya Genkui is worthy of being the daughter of the second generation. She has clear ideas, but her actions are quite bad... However, this is the legendary politics, and you have to calculate the gains and losses.

…………

Somewhere in the ninja world, in a dungeon.

Uchiha Madara felt that his time was running out and his life would soon end, so he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

Uchiha Orikawa's departure completely disrupted Madara's plan, and now he must find someone who can carry out his "last will".

Look for? No, looking for is not safe, you should "create" it.

Black Zetsu appeared from the top of the dungeon, which was equivalent to a warning, and then slowly approached Uchiha Madara... Ever since Uchiha Orikasa disappeared, Madara's mood has been off, and even Black Zetsu understood that it would be better to leave him alone.

"Banara, I heard some very interesting news. In a temple in the Kingdom of Hot Springs in the East China Sea, more than a hundred monks died mysteriously overnight for unknown reasons. It is said that each of them died in a very tragic way."

"The monk died? Humph, either the Buddha appeared in the world, or the ninja is causing trouble. What's so strange about this... Or do you think that the guy who caused such an incident can carry out my will?"

It would be really interesting if Jigen and Otsutsuki Isshiki could be chosen as the executors of the Moon Eye Project, but... it's a pity that Black Zetsu can't find the person to do the trouble.

"No, I just wanted to inform you of some recent developments in the ninja world."

Black Zetsu felt like he was being criticized, but he had no evidence.

"Forget it, this kind of information is meaningless to us... If we want to find someone to carry out my will, the Uchiha is indeed the most suitable."

"Uchiha, Madara, it's difficult for us to get close to Konoha. There are too many whirlpools there."

Black Zetsu seemed quite relaxed, and even thought of making a double entendre.

"Don't worry, there's no need to go to Konoha. There are plenty of opportunities... I'm all too familiar with the smell of war. That unique scent lingers."

Although Uchiha Madara is barely alive, he still has to live on with determination. He needs to continue to lie dormant and wait for an opportunity.

At the same time, it's not just Uchiha Madara who's looking for the unlucky guy who can carry out his will. In order to cooperate with his grand plan, even Uchiha is looking for the right chess piece.

Uchiha Madara became a turtle, and it was difficult for Yu Zhen to find him. Otherwise, before the other party died, Yu Zhen would have wanted to have a long talk with Madara.

Even though his conversations could easily become death warrants, wouldn't it be interesting to see Madara being hurried to death?

Unfortunately, Yu Zhen didn't find Madara, so he had to settle for looking for other interesting characters.

Yu Zhen counted the people who joined the Akatsuki organization later and found that one of them was a super-powerful ninja who was currently active in the profession. This person was even easy to find... because he was a man who valued money more than anything else.

So, Yuzhen stopped Lord Kakuzu, a famous rebel ninja from Takigakure Village and a man good at financial management, on the outskirts of a town.

Of course, Kakuzu never had the chance to have a peak showdown with the First Hokage in his life, but he still became a rebel ninja of Takigakure... This is normal. Considering his personality, it would be strange if he didn't become a rebel ninja.

It was a blessing for Hashirama that he did not encounter Kakuzu, because the God of Ninja did not have to be stigmatized. But it was a misfortune for Kakuzu, because he could not touch or take advantage of others, which greatly reduced his popularity.

Without fame, the rewards for tasks will not be that high. Alas, how sad.

When Yu Zhen stopped the other person, he didn't expect that Kakuzu immediately recognized his identity.

"Firefly, Yuzhen."

"what……"

Yu Zhen thought about it carefully and found that he seemed to have really seen the other person, but at that time Kakuzu was just a follower.

"Where's your teacher?"

Yu Zhen asked this question because theoretically the Yuanyu ninja can live for a long time.

"Dead." Kakuzu gave a concise answer.

Yu Zhen subconsciously asked back: "Could it be that he was killed by you?"

"This has nothing to do with you." Kakuzu tried his best to remain indifferent, but there seemed to be a hint of ups and downs in his voice.

Well, based on the "Good Disciple in the Ninja World" theory, the best teachers often die at the hands of their disciples.

Chapter 247 The Miraculous Doctor Que Tuo

Kakuzu was half-kneeling on the ground, his naked upper body was almost stained red with blood. He had never bled so much since he achieved "mastery of divine power".

Defeat is not scary. What is scary is that Kakuzu has no idea how he was defeated... He fell to his knees almost in the blink of an eye.

After realizing the huge gap in strength between the two sides, the choice is not difficult - anything is fine except death.

In fact, no matter at any time, as long as Yuzhen and Kakuzu fight, the results of victory or defeat will be fixed, because no matter how powerful Kakuzu and his secret technique are, that strength is not beyond the norm, and even cannot reach the limit of imagination.

Yuzhen did not kill Kakuzu, but he restored him to factory settings in the blink of an eye. Even Kakuzu could understand how calm he was.

"Then the deal is done. Do you have any objections?"

Of course, Hashima didn't have any special reaction. The battle with Kakuzu was neither challenging nor interesting... This battle was a version of the battles he fought before he was sixteen, that's all.

"I understand."

Kakuzu lowered his head resignedly. He was a very proud ninja, but this kind of pride had to be expressed at different times, places and with different people.

At this time, Yu Zhen's request to Kakuzu was nothing more than to obey his orders when necessary and on necessary events. Compared with losing his life, this request was really nothing.

Even after seeing that Kakuzu agreed to this, Yuzhen did not impose any restrictions on him, but instead walked away directly... as if this verbal agreement had some binding force.

In fact, this is just a casual move. It would be best if Kakuzu obeyed. If he didn't, Yuzhen would not suffer any loss, or even any consequences... Even if Kakuzu broke his promise, Yuzhen might not go out of his way to cause trouble for him. He would just kill him when he met him occasionally.

Such a broad mind is rare in the ninja world.

It was not until Yuzhen left that Kakuzu realized it belatedly and reached out to press his chest. His slowly beating heart showed that he was still alive, but then the uncontrollable fear made his heart beat faster and faster.
