Chapter 60 Naruto: What a cunning Third Hokage! The incomplete Eight Gates; Hiruzen Sarutobi's
Chapter 60 Naruto: What a cunning Third Hokage! The incomplete Eight Gates Formation; Hiruzen Sarutobi's frustration: This shouldn't be happening.
Why is there something like scribbles at the end, without even the name of the ninjutsu?
At the very least, the first densely packed characters that caught my eye contained the words "Multiple Shadow Clone Technique".
Below are diagrams of the meridians in the human body, along with detailed explanations of cultivation techniques, making it easy for anyone who sees them to know where to begin.
The second one is a technique called "Eight Gates Formation", which also contains half of the content.
But after that, there were no more words at all.
Apart from the scribbles that look like gibberish, there are no diagrams of the human body's meridians, no cultivation focus, and absolutely no text!
Upon seeing this, Naruto immediately realized that the contents of the sealing scroll were only partially present at the beginning, with nothing at the end!
These three generations are too cunning.
He was thinking of memorizing the ninjutsu that followed, but there weren't any ninjutsu at all.
Did I receive a fake one?
Naruto scratched his head in frustration; "That's not right either. When I took the scroll, I took it from that room. I even ran into the Third Hokage in the hallway. I didn't take the wrong one."
"So, this scroll itself is a fake; it's not even real."
"Damn it, my grand plan to get rich is ruined just like that?"
"Sigh, I'll learn the Shadow Clone Technique first."
Naruto let out a wail in his heart, sighed, sat down, and began to honestly learn his first ninjutsu.
The most urgent thing is to learn ninjutsu.
With that in mind, Naruto Uzumaki turned his gaze to the detailed steps and precautions recorded above.
The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique is marked as Rank A, meaning it is extremely difficult and requires a high degree of chakra control and complex hand seals.
Naruto's teeth ached from reading the description of this thing.
Even if you feel bitter inside, you must still give it your all.
As Naruto read the instructions on the scroll, he silently simulated the complex hand seal sequence in his mind.
Soon, Naruto Uzumaki gave it a try.
He first tried to perform the hand seals according to the steps recorded on the scroll. Although his fingers seemed a little clumsy at first, his movements gradually became smoother with each attempt.
The sequence of hand seals and gestures seemed to naturally form a rhythm in his mind, as if these complex movements were not as difficult as he had imagined.
"what?"
Naruto frowned slightly, somewhat surprised: "This doesn't seem that difficult?"
Subconsciously, Naruto sped up his practice, becoming more and more proficient with each hand seal.
He could clearly feel that the speed and power of the chakra flowing through his body were constantly increasing, as if this ninjutsu had some kind of natural compatibility with his chakra.
This made Naruto's eyes widen suddenly.
"Am I a genius?"
This thought popped into Naruto's mind.
After practicing a few more times, Naruto Uzumaki suddenly realized that he could roughly complete the entire hand seal process.
As Naruto Uzumaki attempted to form hand seals, the chakra within his body began to surge violently, rapidly circulating in the order of the hand seals.
He formed the final hand seal and then suddenly released his chakra.
"Shadow Clone Technique!" Naruto shouted.
A burst of white smoke exploded around him in an instant. When the smoke cleared, Naruto was surprised to see dozens of clones standing in front of him that looked exactly like him.
Each clone is incredibly lifelike, with even the expressions and movements being completely identical.
"hiss!"
"This is outrageous!"
Naruto stared at what he saw in disbelief, his heart pounding with indescribable excitement: "Did I really do this? I learned an A-rank ninjutsu so quickly?"
He looked around, overwhelmed with emotion.
How could I have mastered such an extremely difficult ninjutsu so quickly?
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Unable to contain his elation, Naruto Uzumaki couldn't help but laugh.
Although it still feels somewhat unbelievable, I feel mostly proud and excited.
"I...I really learned it! Am I really a genius?"
Naruto couldn't help but wonder if some hidden talent of his had been awakened.
"Hehe, they'll be so surprised if they know I learned it so quickly!" Naruto thought smugly, a bright smile spreading across his face.
"Bang bang bang!"
At this moment, the clones transformed into wisps of white mist and vanished into thin air.
"I think I understand now. When I practice the Shadow Clone Technique, I can't control the chakra in my body at all. Even if I release it all at once, I can't make the clone complete."
Watching the shadow clones disappear after only a short time, Naruto Uzumaki stroked his chin and muttered to himself in deep thought.
This A-rank ninjutsu allowed him to release a significantly larger number of clones, the number of which he currently cannot control.
However, each shadow clone is created by consuming chakra.
When he activated this ninjutsu, the uncontrollable chakra within his body instantly transformed into an identical clone of himself, which was then evenly distributed.
With a large amount of chakra distributed among his abilities, he can easily create shadow clones and control them with ease.
"A normal ninja would never do this to me; they don't have that much chakra."
"But I'm different. I have the Nine-Tails sealed inside me, tsk tsk."
"Does this mean that I can easily learn those advanced ninjutsu techniques from now on? And then defeat everyone with a single move?"
"Hahahaha!"
Thinking of this, Naruto's breathing quickened, and he laughed triumphantly.
The level of ninjutsu is related not only to its complexity but also to the amount of chakra it contains.
Ordinary ninjas don't have his kind of chakra!
I won't need to practice those low-level ninjutsu anymore!
"There's also the Eight Gates Formation. Although it's incomplete, I can still record it."
"Then these two ninjutsu can be given to the shop owner. After all, without Mr. Lin Mo, I wouldn't know what the future would hold, so we should reciprocate. Hmm."
Muttering to himself, Naruto Uzumaki looked serious.
Regardless, I can give these two ninjutsu to Lin Mo.
If we can build a good relationship with Lin Mo, maybe we can get him some good stuff in the future.
Thinking of this, Naruto Uzumaki smiled broadly.
"Let's continue examining this Eight Gates Formation."
Muttering to himself, Naruto quickly squatted down to take a look.
"It really is incomplete; it just disappears after that!"
Before long, Naruto's face turned ashen.
The Third Hokage was such a cunning old fox.
However, he was still able to record even the simple things.
"Hmm, they haven't arrived yet?"
After a quick look, Naruto Uzumaki noticed that Iruka-sensei and Mizuki-sensei hadn't arrived yet.
"I was thinking of waiting for Iruka-sensei to come over and then just give him the sealing value technique, but never mind."
"Their ability to find me must be due to the Third Generation, right? To make Iruka-sensei get injured in front of me?"
Thinking about the contents of the comics he had been reading, Naruto Uzumaki pondered for a moment.
Having read the comic several times, he knew the plot all too well.
"Forget it, while they're looking for me, I'll secretly use the Transformation Technique to go back, put the ninjutsu scroll back, and then go back and copy down the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique."
"Otherwise, if Iruka-sensei comes, he will definitely get hurt. I'm doing this for Mizuki-sensei's own good."
"Hehe, they probably didn't expect me to come back."
Naruto Uzumaki muttered to himself as he smiled excitedly, looking exactly like a fox who had successfully stolen a chicken.
Without the slightest hesitation, Naruto Uzumaki decisively used the Transformation Jutsu, transforming himself into Iruka's appearance.
Then he ran wildly towards the Hokage Building.
"Sure enough, everyone was looking for me, and many people went outside the village to set up defenses."
"There aren't even any ninjas guarding them?"
Naruto Uzumaki quickly arrived at the Hokage Building. Looking at the empty building, he didn't hesitate at all and decisively ran along the path he had taken before.
They quickly returned to the place where they had obtained the Book of Seals.
After putting the Book of Seals back, Naruto Uzumaki turned around, closed the door, and left.
After leaving the Hokage Building, he walked home whistling.
Go back and write down the Shadow Clone Technique from memory, then find an opportunity to send it to Mr. Lin Mo tomorrow.
And at this very moment.
Hokage Building.
In the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared into thought as he looked at the image of Naruto walking out of the Hokage Building displayed on the crystal ball in front of him.
A good while passed before Hiruzen Sarutobi finally moved the crystal ball, his lips twitching slightly.
The scene suddenly changes, and a forest appears.
Iruka and Mizuki walked in one after the other.
If Naruto Uzumaki were here, he would surely recognize it as the place where he practiced the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
"That's strange."
Hiruzen Sarutobi took several puffs of his cigarette, looking puzzled.
Why is Naruto back?
The show is about to begin, but the protagonist has deviated from his original plan?
"Lord Hokage."
At that moment, an ANBU member appeared out of nowhere in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi and whispered, "Naruto Uzumaki is back, and he's even put the Scroll of Seals back. What do you think?"
As ANBU ninjas stationed at the Hokage Building, they were aware of Hiruzen Sarutobi's actions today.
So they all cooperated and left the Hokage Building.
They had already set up positions on the other side of the forest, driving Mizuki and Iruka into the forest.
But the person in question returned.
They even returned the stolen seal scroll, which silenced them.
What should I do?
"Order the men to evacuate."
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent for a long time, then rubbed his temples, looking troubled, and said, "Release the news in the latter half of the night that the Book of Seals has been retrieved and all personnel have been withdrawn."
"Keep two more people watching over Shuimu and report intelligence daily. Don't touch him for now."
"As for Iruka, well, let's not notify him for now."
"Yes."
Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, the ANBU ninja nodded and disappeared in a flash.
"How could this happen?"
Watching the ANBU ninja leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi took puffs of his cigarette, utterly puzzled.
That shouldn't be the case.
How could this be?
Naruto's behavior seemed strange, yet also strangely right, giving him a peculiar feeling that he couldn't quite put his finger on.
This is truly bizarre.
While Hiruzen Sarutobi was silently smoking.
the other side.
Ichiraku Ramen.
Looking at Lin Mo eating noodles, Tetsuya smiled and asked, "Lin Mo, you're temporarily staying in Konoha. What are your plans?"
I knew Lin Mo's general situation from my last conversation with him.
They are not from Konoha Village; they are only staying there temporarily.
I've been eating ramen here with him for the past few days, treating his ramen restaurant like my own canteen. He also chats with Lin Mo, and we've become somewhat acquainted.
So we had a brief chat.
"I opened a small shop, and I usually just stroll around Konoha."
Upon hearing what the hand typed, Lin Mo smiled faintly and said, "As for plans, let's just open the shop for now."
He wants to become stronger, and the only way he can do that is by selling jars.
The current plan is to sell more jars.
"Owns a shop?"
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Shou Da immediately became interested: "What kind of shop does it run? If I have time, I'll go and support it."
This young man actually owns a shop.
To be able to stay in Konoha Village as an outsider and even open a shop, one must not only be wealthy, but also certainly not an ordinary person.
Lin Mo doesn't look like a businessman. Could he be a rich young master?
But why would a rich kid open a shop?
It's usually the case that you hire people to run the shop.
"A small jar shop I run."
Lin Mo chuckled lightly; "Sell some jars."
"Selling jars?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Ayame, who had just finished tidying up, immediately came over with interest and said, "Speaking of which, our family's ramen shop also needs to buy some jars. We'll go to your shop next time we have the chance."
"Hmm, this."
Lin Mo's expression turned strange upon hearing Changpu's words.
The jars he sells can only be opened to get what's inside.
That thing can't hold anything.
Next to Lin Mo, Tian Tian looked on with interest, secretly chuckling to herself.
I'm afraid even Sister Changpu couldn't have imagined that the price of a jar in Lin Mo's jar shop would be 100,000 taels.
When you find out, you'll be absolutely shocked.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Ayame smiled and continued, "This ramen meal is on me today, you don't need to pay."
"Oh? How can you do that?"
Upon hearing Changpu's words, Tiantian quickly replied, "Sister Changpu, you don't need to be so polite."
"You don't need to refuse."
Changpu shook her finger: "I'm waiving Lin Mo's fee. Tian Tian is just an extra. If you really want to pay, that's fine too."
As she spoke, Changpu gave Lin Mo a bright smile.
Deep in her eyes, there was a hint of shyness.
In her opinion, Lin Mo is really good-looking.
"Okay, sure."
Upon hearing what Changpu said, Tiantian scratched his head.
So it turns out I was just an afterthought.
Upon hearing Changpu's words and seeing her "unyielding" expression, Lin Mo immediately nodded, accepting Changpu's kindness: "Then thank you."
He doesn't need the money for a bowl of ramen, and neither does Ayame.
Therefore, he readily accepted the generosity of the calamus.
Seeing Lin Mo accept, Changpu's smile instantly brightened, her eyebrows curving into crescent moons.
At this moment, Lin Mo also took a look at the calamus under the light and thought to himself that the calamus was quite beautiful.
She looks beautiful with her slender figure.
Moreover, wearing a chef's uniform gives him a unique charm.
It would probably look even better if it were a blue cook's outfit.
Meanwhile, the person standing to the side watched this scene with a smile but didn't say anything.
He didn't pay too much attention to what his daughter, Changpu, said.
As Changpu's father, he almost immediately realized that his daughter was attracted to Lin Mo's appearance, so he took the initiative to befriend her.
Although he had only met Lin Mo a few days ago, he could tell that Lin Mo had a very peaceful personality.
But he knows too little about Lin Mo, so this is a good opportunity to befriend him and have a chat.
Judging from the fact that Lin Mo wasn't wearing a ninja headband, he probably wasn't a ninja.
After all, for ninjas, the ninja headband is a symbol of their status, and very few people would not wear it.
After a brief chat with Ayame, Lin Mo said goodbye to Teuchi and then left Ichiraku Ramen with Tenten.
Night had already fallen, and the sky was shrouded in deep black.
However, a bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a cool, silvery glow, as if draping a thin veil over the quiet street.
The moonlight, like water, flowed gently over Lin Mo and Tian Tian's figures. A breeze blew by, and it seemed as if one could hear the moonlight whispering.
Lin Mo looked up at the bright moon, squinted, and was filled with emotion.
Such a clear moonlit night was an almost unattainable luxury in his memories of his previous life.
"I won't see you off."
Turning his gaze away from the moon, Lin Mo looked at Tian Tian and said with a smile, "Why don't you go back by yourself, or come sit at my place for a while? I don't have much business at my place at night, so sitting there might be a bit boring."
"Is Mr. Lin Mo free?"
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Tian Tian squinted her eyes and said, "Want to take a walk together? Just to help with digestion after dinner."
"It's not impossible."
Lin Mo nodded upon hearing Tian Tian's words.
He came to Konoha Village, but hasn't had a proper chance to explore it yet.
"good!"
Seeing that Lin Mo agreed, Tian Tian smiled brightly and took the initiative to lead the way for Lin Mo.
As the two strolled around Konoha, they noticed that the tense atmosphere that had previously permeated the village streets had gradually dissipated.
Even the number of patrolling ninjas had decreased, which surprised Lin Mo.
Did they all gather over in the forest?
"I really didn't expect that two major events would happen in a row today."
As she walked along, she muttered to herself, "I heard my teacher say that the Book of Sealing is a treasure of a ninja village. Even Jonin can't read the Book of Sealing unless they make a great contribution. It contains many important ninjutsu and is a precious asset of a ninja village."
"How could this thing have been stolen?"
She couldn't understand it even after thinking about it the whole way.
"Yes, it's a pity that many people can't understand it."
Lin Mo nodded: "But what if it was intentional?"
"Forehead."
Tian Tian was stunned when he heard Lin Mo's words.
on purpose?
Why?
However, thinking about what she had personally experienced before, and what Lin Mo had said, Tian Tian suddenly fell silent.
There must be some scheming involved that she's unaware of.
Konoha Village was nothing like the place she had imagined at school.
Thinking this to herself, she continued walking with Lin Mo.
Finally, Tian Tian escorted Lin Mo all the way to the jar shop before saying goodbye to Lin Mo and turning to leave.
The moment Lin Mo returned to the shop, he made the items that Tian Tian's parents had opened earlier float into existence.
The first thing to be fused was Chunin-level chakra, which would save him the trouble of training.
