Chapter 75 The Ninja World Gradually Becomes Unsettled
"Is that alright, Senior Brother Minato?" Taiichi was pleasantly surprised, not expecting such a reward from a meal.
"Of course, I heard from Jiraiya-sensei that you learn everything very quickly, Taichi, so I might be able to get some inspiration from you." Minato said modestly.
Even though Minato hasn't reached his peak yet, he's still an elite Jonin. For such a ninja to be able to discuss and learn with Taiichi is definitely a sign of his full respect for Taiichi. "Shall we begin now?" Taiichi immediately stood up and said to Minato with an excited expression.
"Haha, of course!" Minato readily nodded, then said to Jiraiya, "Sensei, aren't you going to start?"
"No, no, I've already shared what I know with this kid. You guys can discuss it. I'll just listen from the sidelines." Jiraiya waved his hand to refuse, as he didn't have much left to say.
Seeing this, Minato didn't insist and instead talked to Taiichi about his understanding of one-handed hand seals.
After listening to Minato's explanation, Taiichi felt a sudden sense of enlightenment. "Brother Minato, since everyone's one-handed hand seals are different, is there a simple way to quickly find a seal that suits you?"
"No, you can only keep trying. Start with hand seals, and while maintaining chakra flow, try hand seals with one hand until you find the right one."
Taiichi nodded thoughtfully, and his hands were also trying out his own unique hand gestures as Minato had instructed.
Because one hand can perform fewer gestures and the movements are more subtle than two hands, it requires stronger perception and chakra control to determine whether the chakra in the body has changed due to subtle changes in gestures.
Gradually, Taiyi gained some insights and gradually came to his senses.
[Undergoing contemplation, skill one-handed hand seal Lv0 (3/100)]
Sure enough, the skill certificate's permanent effect was remarkably effective in creation and development, and Taiyi smiled.
The three who were watching Taiichi deep in thought didn't disturb him. They quietly discussed their own thoughts and feelings. When they saw Taiichi come back to his senses with a smile on his face, Minato asked first, "Taichi, how was it? Did you gain anything?"
"Hmm." Taiyi didn't hold back and shared his gains with everyone. He even demonstrated the one-handed hand seal that he had just tried to use to easily mobilize chakra.
Minato was quite surprised at this point. This progress was too fast! No wonder Jiraiya-sensei said that Taichi learns everything very quickly.
Taiichi's findings further spurred Minato on. The group engaged in a heated discussion, though Taiichi mostly served as a listener. However, whenever he offered his opinion, he always hit the nail on the head, providing Minato and Jiraiya with many helpful insights.
The four continued their discussion until the sun began to set, and, still feeling unsatisfied, they made a pact to come back to Shuimen to continue their research and exploration if they had the chance in the future.
The Hokage's office.
At this moment, the room was filled with thick smoke, and the source of this smoke was none other than the Third Hokage's pipe.
"Alright, Hiruzen, you should smoke less too. You've all seen the information Root sent you. What do you have to say?" Danzo looked at the Hokage with anticipation.
He had just presented Hiruzen Sarutobi with a huge surprise: "A report on the recent year's abduction of bloodline limits by Kumogakure."
Although half a year has passed, it was here that they made the decision to retaliate against the mastermind behind the kidnapping of Chizuru Kurama. They just never imagined that the investigation would take so long.
Flipping through the investigation report in his hand, he found that over the past year, there had been at least eight cases of kidnapping children with bloodline limits from other villages, either planned or carried out by the Hidden Cloud Village. These cases involved multiple countries, including the Land of Water, the Land of Fire, the Land of Hot Water, and the Land of Waterfalls. The report also detailed the planners and executors of these eight kidnapping incidents.
"This is truly shocking. Yan and Xiaochun, you should take a look too!" Sarutobi handed the scroll to the two advisors.
"Hiruzen, there's no need to hesitate about this. Just take revenge directly, and I doubt Kumogakure will dare to make a sound." Danzo's gloomy eyes flashed with eager light.
"That's right, Hiruzen, this can be done. Even if Kumogakure finds out, we can just publish this report. Does Kumogakure want to go to war with all the ninja villages?" After reading the report, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu were unusually on the same side as Danzo.
Seeing that the three advisors had made the same decision, Hiruzen Sarutobi also made up his mind: "Alright, since that's the case, then let's send Sakumo over there and kill all the people in charge of planning and executing this in Kumogakure as a warning."
"Hiruzen, shouldn't this be something that Root should be doing?" Team Battle was furious. The intelligence was provided by Root, but someone else got the credit.
"Danzo, your Root organization still needs to monitor the movements of other ninja villages. The information brought back by Sunagakure last time has not yet been investigated. You should focus more of your energy on this!" Sarutobi reprimanded him mercilessly.
"But—" Danzo was about to retort.
"No buts, this is settled." Sarutobi said resolutely.
Danzo stopped talking when he saw this. He knew that this was Hiruzen Sarutobi giving him a warning, and it seemed that he would have to tone it down a bit recently.
After leaving the Minato family, Taichi followed Jiraiya's advice and went to the Konoha Ninjutsu Exchange Center. Looking at this inconspicuous room in the corner of the mission hall, who would have thought that most of the Konoha ninjas obtained their ninjutsu from here!
Upon entering the room, the first thing you see is a simple desk and a staff member sitting behind it. Judging from his attire, he should be a Chunin.
Perhaps because it was late, no one else came to process the exchange, and the Chunin was idly trimming his nails with a kunai.
Upon seeing someone enter the house, the Chunin clearly perked up, straightened his posture, and prepared to greet the visitor. However, when he saw that it was just a little kid, he immediately became impatient.
Such a young child could only have a few C-rank mission records at most, which wouldn't be enough to exchange for anything here. It would be better to ask the team leader for guidance; maybe he could even learn a few useful ninjutsu.
"Kid, this isn't a place for you. Go to the main hall outside to take on missions." The chunin didn't even look up, reverting to his previous lazy demeanor.
Seeing that the Chunin's attitude was so bad, Taiichi didn't bother to be polite to him and threw his ninja certificate on the table.
The ninja certificate slid perfectly across the table to the Chunin's hand, landing precisely where it should have been.
The chunin only glanced at it before his eyes widened in shock. He noticed that the ninja ID clearly showed a mark indicating that he had completed an A-rank mission, which greatly surprised him.
He picked up the ninja ID card on the table, carefully examined every word on the card, and compared it with the photo and the appearance of the person in front of him. Finally, he confirmed that the person on the card was indeed the child in front of him.
A smile immediately spread across the Chunin's face. There was no way he could afford to offend such a young and powerful child. Not to mention his own strength and immeasurable future, he certainly couldn't afford to offend his current elders either.
"This one~" The Chunin glanced at the name on the ninja certificate: "Matsushita Taichi, what kind of ninjutsu do you want to exchange for, B-rank or C-rank?"
