Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 121 Basic Book of Space-Time Ninjutsu

"I'll handle this. You can all go back now!"

Orochimaru looked at Kyosuke and spoke in a commanding tone.

It seems that Orochimaru has his eye on the Ibri clan's bloodline limit and wants to study it, so he's preparing to help them out.

You are a disciple of the Hokage, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha, and once my commander. Do whatever you want. Anyway, once I return to the village and explain the situation, all the responsibility will fall on Orochimaru.

Kyosuke nodded decisively: "Yes, Lord Orochimaru!"

After saying that, Kyosuke turned and left. He didn't want to have any more interaction with Orochimaru at this stage, lest he arouse Orochimaru's interest and cause trouble.

Seeing all this, Gota said to Orochimaru, "Thank you."

Orochimaru smiled and said, "No need to thank me. From what just happened, I can see that your bloodline limits are very unstable. If you are willing to assist my research, I may be able to find a way to cure them."

I was so surprised that I said, "You also know about bloodline limits?"

Orochimaru said, "I know a little."

Wu Tai was overjoyed: "That's wonderful! With your help, our clan has hope. Please come with me to our clan's territory to discuss this in detail."

Wu Tai was very happy. As the leader, he had been trying to find a way to solve the problem of unstable bloodline limits, but he had neither money, technology, equipment, nor knowledge reserves, so he made no progress.

He knew Orochimaru coveted their clan's abilities, but he didn't care.

Orochimaru is their benefactor as long as it can improve their living conditions and extend their lifespan.

After all, many people have heard that their clan's bloodline limit is unstable, so they don't even want to study it, thinking that they have no value and are not worth wasting resources on.

Now, Orochimaru provides resources and technology, the Ibri clan provides samples, and the research results allow Orochimaru to obtain new experimental data while the Ibri clan improves their living environment—this is a win-win situation.

"Go back and report to the Hokage."

"Yes!"

Orochimaru's subordinates left, and Orochimaru followed Gota to the Ibri clan's territory.

Kyosuke returned to Shisui and saw that Shisui's complexion had improved.

"How are you? Can you make your way?"

Shisui's body had been damaged by Gota. Although it was not fatal, it was extremely painful. However, Shisui had a strong will and suppressed the pain, forcing himself to stand up.

"can!"

Kyosuke looked Shisui up and down. Shisui's body was trembling, and beads of sweat were on his forehead. He was clenching his teeth as he spoke and shook his head speechlessly.

"You Uchiha are really stubborn. I just met Lord Orochimaru. He'll handle the aftermath of the mission. Let's not fight anymore, and let's not be reckless."

As he spoke, Kyosuke walked up to Shisui, picked him up, and headed towards Konoha.

Shisui was initially surprised to be carried on Kyosuke's back, but then he felt a sense of security. Coupled with his injured and exhausted body, he unknowingly fell into a deep sleep.

Unbeknownst to Shisui, while Kyosuke was carrying him, one of Kyosuke's shadow clones was secretly following Orochimaru.

To avoid being discovered by Orochimaru, the shadow clones were kept at a great distance.

Because Wu Tai was carrying a member of his clan, leaving relatively obvious footprints, his shadow clones weren't worried about losing him.

A few hours later, Gota and Orochimaru entered a cave, while the shadow clone observed the surrounding environment, memorized the location of the cave, and then dispelled the shadow clone, returning the information to Kyosuke's mind.

"So this is where it is. Hmm, I'll write it down first. When Kiichiro needs experimental materials, I'll have Mimori come and collect them."

Back in Konoha, Kyosuke took Shisui to Konoha Hospital, where he was reprimanded by Noriko.

“Zhi Shui is so young, how could you take him on a dangerous mission? Now his internal organs have been damaged and he needs to rest for a long time.”

Kyosuke stood at attention, bowed at a 45-degree angle, and spoke with genuine sincerity.

"I'm sorry to have troubled you!"

Seeing Kyosuke's overly formal apology, Noriko shook her head helplessly.

"You're still so frustrating. Get out of here, I have a lot of work to do."

After being kicked out of the hospital, Kyosuke looked at the sky and realized it was almost dinner time, so he went to Kushina's house. As soon as he opened the door, he was surprised to find Minato Namikaze.

"Oh, Kyosuke's here. Let's eat together."

Minato Namikaze waved to Kyosuke with a smile on his face.

Kyosuke used a teleportation technique to appear next to Minato Namikaze, gripping Minato's wrists tightly with both hands like vises.

"Aha, now you can't escape! Paying back debts is a matter of course, and it's time to fulfill the promise you owe me!"

At this moment, Kushina came out of the kitchen, looked at Kyosuke's bitter and resentful expression, and then at Minato Namikaze's bewildered look, and burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, Minato, Kyosuke has been coming to my place every day lately. If he doesn't see you, he accuses you of being ungrateful and dishonest. You won't escape today."

Minato Namikaze looked embarrassed and tried to shake off Kyosuke's arm, but couldn't. Looking at Kyosuke's grief-stricken face, which seemed to be on the verge of tears, he sighed helplessly.

“There were so many tasks recently, you were too impatient.”

"Now that everything's alright, quickly teach me Summoning Jutsu, Sage Mode, and Flying Thunder God Technique, then become Hokage tomorrow, and hand over the Hokage title to me the day after!"

Kyosuke's voice was very urgent, which gave Minato Namikaze a headache.

"Don't talk nonsense. Flying Thunder God Technique is too dangerous. You have no foundation in space-time ninjutsu. You could die if you try to learn it. I can't teach you now."

"What about magic?"

“Sage techniques require training at Mount Myōboku, but the contract scroll is with Master Jiraiya. If you wish to sign a contract with Mount Myōboku, you need Master Jiraiya’s permission.”

Hearing this, Kyosuke was very dissatisfied.

"That means you can't keep any of your promises! You liar, I entrusted Kushina to you, and now it seems you're too unreliable. I need to reconsider your marriage."

With a thud, Kushina's fist landed on Kyosuke's head.

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting, trying to decide my marriage!"

Kyosuke ignored Kushina and stared intently at Minato Namikaze with tear-filled eyes, making Minato feel uneasy.

"Alright, alright, here's what we'll do. You'll learn the basics of space-time ninjutsu first. Once you've mastered enough, I'll teach you the Flying Thunder God Technique. As for Summoning Technique and Sage Technique, I'll try to get them for you when I see Jiraiya-sensei."

Minato Namikaze took out a scroll and placed it in front of Kyosuke. Kyosuke then released his grip with satisfaction and accepted the scroll.

This scroll isn't very big. I'm so smart, I'll be able to finish learning it quickly.

After returning home, Kyosuke confidently opened the small scroll, only to discover that it was not a scroll for recording knowledge, but a sealed scroll.

The seal was broken, and three tall stacks of books appeared on the table.

Kyosuke looked up at the books that were taller than him, his mind completely blank!
