Chapter 65 The Storm Is Brewing

The so-called "manipulation tools" are actually the techniques used to control ninja tools, such as Tenten's "Manipulation Tool: Hidden Weapon Strike", "Manipulation Tool: Heavenly Lock Disaster", "Manipulation Tool: Binding Meteor", and so on.

With this entry, Kiyoshi estimated that the power of the ninja sword would also increase.

Because a ninja sword is essentially a type of ninja tool.

"Now, the chances of passing the Chunin Exams have increased even more."

Kiyoshi also wanted to take this opportunity to see the results of his actual combat.

In his past battles, he fought alongside Konoha ninjas, and everyone would hold back, so it was impossible for him to actually kill anyone.

Killing a comrade is a serious crime in Konoha.

Unlike the Chunin Exams, the first thing to do in the second exam is to sign a consent form.

Even if you die in there, Konoha will not provide any compensation or responsibility.

In other words, it will be extremely chaotic inside, and there is a high possibility of revenge killings.

However, the probability is very low. Usually, ninjas from different villages will band together to face ninjas from different villages.

There will inevitably be dead people among them.

In the original manga alone, Gaara killed quite a few people during the Chunin Exams.

"I hope to draw a training ground with terrain favorable to the 'Fire' and 'Thunder' elements."

Kiyoshi secretly said.

The second test will be held at a randomly selected large training ground, where the ecological environment will vary.

For example, the Death Forest contains towering mountains and tigers several times larger than a person.

He obtained the [Wind Release Seed (White)], thus gaining the ability to cultivate "Wind" Release.

However, he has not yet acquired the ninjutsu in this area, so he can only be said to be a blank slate.

Only Lightning Release and Fire Release are the esoteric techniques that Kiyoshi is currently proficient in.

At that time, foreign ninjas will also arrive.

Maybe there are not only ninjas from the Wind Kingdom, but also ninjas from many other countries such as the Water Kingdom and the Earth Kingdom.

…………

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye.

The biting cold of winter is over, and spring flowers are blooming everywhere.

In many parts of Konoha, the vegetation grows lushly, and at this time of year, Kiyoshi would occasionally marvel at how worthy of the name "Konoha" (meaning "leaf of the tree").

During this time, he eagerly studied the knowledge taught by the pharmacist Nono, while trying to advance his skills in the "Genjutsu Genin (Green)" and "Medical Genin (Green)" categories.

Kiyoshi has already made progress on the entry regarding medical genin.

"Glossary panel".

Qing Si silently recited.

A semi-transparent light curtain appeared before his eyes.

[Entry: Medical Genin (Green)]

[Requirement achieved: Learn five different medical ninjutsu.]

Progress: (90%)

[Effect: Your medical ninjutsu is showing initial results. The healing effect of your medical ninjutsu will increase by 20% on top of its original value.]

[Note: Further advanced levels are available.]

"I wonder if it will be effective against Shennong's techniques."

Kiyoshi recalls that in the movie "Naruto Shippuden: Bonds," the villainous boss Shennong could use dark chakra to activate "Forbidden Medical Technique: Flesh Transformation" and "Forbidden Medical Technique: Flesh Activation."

The effects of these two medical ninjutsu are nothing short of miraculous; in terms of their very nature, they are comparable to Tsunade's "Ninjutsu: Creation Rebirth."

It can not only reverse the cells in the body and achieve instant rejuvenation, but also transform physical damage into regenerative enhancement, thereby enabling the practitioner to obtain the ultimate physical body.

It can also fully open the Eight Gates Formation and remain alive for a long time.

It's important to know that even more than ten years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, Rock Lee still couldn't open the "Gate of Death".

Only Might Guy and his son Might Day have a record of opening it.

In the end, Shennong was also defeated by the plot. Naruto used his talk-no-jutsu on Yu Liu, the female lead of the movie, causing Shennong's dark chakra to dissipate. At the same time, Sasuke launched a sneak attack and sealed all of Shennong's chakra points.

This prevented him from continuing to use those two ninjutsu, allowing Shennong to escape in a sorry state and merge with Zero-Tails.

If both of these ninjutsu are equally effective, Kiyoshi estimates that after learning these ninjutsu, his physical body will be strengthened to a terrifying degree.

As for the required dark chakra, once Kiyoshi comes of age, his own chakra, combined with the amplification of his chakra reserves, should be sufficient to supply it.

He is not a civilian ninja like Shennong who has no bloodline limits.

Hokage Building.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the report card in his hand and smiled with satisfaction.

Graduation time is approaching, and there are more and more new forces in the village.

"Sorry to bother you."

Minato Namikaze knocked on the door, entered, and knelt on one knee, saying:

"Lord Third Generation, you wanted to see me?"

"There's something I'd like to ask you."

Hiruzen Sarutobi turned to look at Minato Namikaze.

"Kakashi is an excellent ninja, but he is too strict with the rules, which causes him to have conflicts with his seniors and colleagues no matter which squad he is assigned to."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then continued:

"Even if he is proficient in ninjutsu, he is still too inexperienced in dealing with people. It must be because his father broke the rules to save his comrades and ended up taking his own life that left a shadow in his heart."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze immediately realized that the Third Hokage wanted to hand Kakashi over to him.

"So...you want me to take him in?"

"good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded.

"Your other two teammates have also been assigned: Obito from the Uchiha clan and Rin Nohara, who has a good talent in medicine."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up and walked behind Minato Namikaze.

If Kiyoshi hadn't graduated so early, and if Minato Namikaze hadn't been busy with the "Team Six" mission led by Jiraiya, he would have really wanted to hand Kiyoshi over to the promising Minato Namikaze.

But this arrangement is not bad for now. Obito is a native of the Uchiha clan, so this also shows the tolerance of the Hokage.

This will bring the Uchiha clan and the village closer together.

All of this was in preparation for the impending war.

"Yes."

Namikaze Minato responded.

Taking on three more students wouldn't be a problem for him, especially since there's still some time before graduation.

His vision of the new technique was becoming increasingly clear.

After discussing with Jiraiya, Minato Namikaze had a premonition that he would master this technique soon.

It happened around the time of the Chunin Exams.

The reason he created this new jutsu was because he was afraid that Kushina would be sent into battle as a weapon of war.

Conflicts along the border are becoming more and more frequent.

Even he, who had no interest in war, had a feeling that a storm was brewing.

"Go down."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke.

After Minato Namikaze left, he looked out the window again.

There, the sky was clear and the air was filled with the vibrant colors of spring.

"Konoha must not be defeated by me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had a premonition that the Chunin Exams were a "harbinger" of impending storm.

In all likelihood, the major powers would send out the new talents from their own villages in order to win over more vassals, obtain funds, or even gain the surrender of other small ninja villages, and cleverly turn them into vassals.

Konoha Sushi Restaurant.

"Sister, where are you going?"

Atsi watched as Samui, carrying a box of sushi, seemed to be heading out.
