Your Ninjutsu Development Ability Is Trash

Minato Namikaze said, "Teacher Orochimaru, the ninjutsu I taught the mission clients were merely a few ordinary self-created D-Rank Ninjutsu."

Orochimaru glanced at the three young farmers, wondering how the Hokage Building Mission Department had approved a mission like this.

He said, "D-Rank Ninjutsu? Show me."

Minato Namikaze shook his head. "There is no need for me to demonstrate. Let my mission clients do it."

As he spoke, Minato Namikaze stepped aside, revealing Guangxia and the other two behind him.

Guangxia did not know which ninja in Konoha Village were powerful, but seeing how nervous his ninjutsu teachers were, he knew that the gloomy young man before him was very frightening.

"Lord Minato, I... the three of us will demonstrate?"

"Yes, Guangxia. Show them."

Farmers were the lowest rung of society in the Land of Fire. Anyone could exploit something from them—the daimyo, nobles, ninja, even bandits.

The honest Guangxia obediently stepped forward and said, "I have only studied agricultural ninjutsu for four or five days, so I am not proficient yet."

As he spoke, he began forming hand seals.

After two slow seals, Guangxia slapped his hand onto the ground and used a ninjutsu.

"Earth Release: Overclocked Seismic Fracture—One Thousand Acres Plowed per Day, First Form!"

Within an area of more than ten square meters before him, the grassy soil flipped over. Blades of grass rolled underneath while roots were turned upward, exposed to the air.

Orochimaru's eyelid twitched slightly. "Jiraiya, this is the self-created ninjutsu of your genius disciple?"

"What do you think? At his age, you had not created a single ninjutsu yourself."

"Boring."

Orochimaru raised his eyes toward a large tree nearby, then lifted his chin.

The ANBU squad leader behind the tree hurriedly revealed himself, appearing with the Body Flicker Technique.

Minato Namikaze had been following Orochimaru's gaze and caught sight of the ANBU's Body Flicker Technique as well.

The ANBU's Body Flicker Technique did not seem all that fast either.

"Take someone and notify several clan heads—the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, along with the head of the Inuzuka Clan. Notify the village higher-ups too. Have the Jonin Squad Leader, Hatake Sakumo, come."

The captain asked in confusion, "Sir, we have more important missions..."

On second thought, the captain immediately fell silent.

His mission was to protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but could anyone protect her better than two of the Three Ninja?

After watching the ANBU squad leader vanish, Orochimaru fell silent. No matter how Jiraiya kept talking, he ignored him.

Minato Namikaze glanced at Kushina and found that she was not paying any particular attention to the ANBU captain. It seemed Kushina still did not know that ANBU had been specially assigned to watch over her.

Once Orochimaru stopped speaking, no one besides Jiraiya spoke either.

Fortunately, ninja were fast.

Over ten minutes later, several people appeared one after another using the Body Flicker Technique.

Hatake Sakumo was the fastest, landing before them first.

He did not ask anything. He merely observed the people of varying ages, and his gaze eventually settled on the young farmers. He did not understand why farmers dressed in coarse short hemp clothes and tattered straw sandals were standing beside the Three Ninja.

After several elderly clan heads appeared in succession, Orochimaru finally spoke.

"Regarding Minato Namikaze teaching ninjutsu to people outside the village, you will serve as witnesses as well. Farmers, demonstrate your ninjutsu."

Minato Namikaze looked excited. Could it be that Orochimaru was an expert who had recognized the value of agricultural ninjutsu?

"Guangxia, you three, demonstrate properly. Make sure the clan heads and Lord White Fang see clearly!"

Guangxia and the other two stood in a row, nervously demonstrating the newly learned ninjutsu for the great ninja clad in expensive clothing.

"Earth Release: Overclocked Seismic Fracture—One Thousand Acres Plowed per Day, First Form!"

"Water Release: Rains Across the Sky to Nourish Wheat Seedlings—Torrential Downpour Technique!"

The three of them only knew these two ninjutsu. Two plowed the ground, while one made it rain.

A light drizzle fell, leaving shades of dark and light across the clods of earth.

Looking at the tilled and watered ground, Minato Namikaze gazed at Orochimaru, White Fang, and the clan heads with a trace of pride.

Did you see that? This is what agricultural ninjutsu can do!

Even in its infancy, it could greatly save farmers' energy and improve the efficiency of cultivation.

The Nara Clan head asked, "So these are the ninjutsu Minato Namikaze has been teaching people outside the village?"

Minato Namikaze nodded repeatedly. "Yes, Lord Nara!"

Just as he was feeling pleased with himself, he heard devastating news.

Orochimaru said slowly:

"Konoha Village sends garbage out every day. What does it matter if this kind of garbage ninjutsu is taught to people outside the village?"

Minato Namikaze stared at Orochimaru in disbelief.

What? Garbage ninjutsu? These are garbage ninjutsu?

Without any regard for Minato Namikaze's stare or dignity, Orochimaru continued:

"Minato Namikaze is merely a child fooling around. His talent for developing ninjutsu is as trash as his ability to name them.

"He gave a few garbage ninjutsu to farmers, and that was enough to make you ninja clans nervous? The old man even asked me to investigate it?

"What was there to investigate? It was a waste of my research time."

Kushina Uzumaki's face flushed red as she shouted, "They are not trash! These D-Rank Ninjutsu can help farmers plow and farm!"

Orochimaru glanced at Kushina. If she were not the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, how could she have become so willful and ignorant?

The village's protection of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was far too thorough. They had protected her into an arrogant young lady whose mind seemed extremely immature.

Guangxia also felt that the ninjutsu were incredibly useful, but his status was too low for him to dare say anything.

He silently made a decision in his heart. He would definitely promote agricultural ninjutsu and make farming no longer so difficult.

Minato Namikaze, however, glanced at the two companions beside Guangxia.

Host chakra amount: 102 units.

As the Host brought about change, like-minded companions began gathering around Guangxia, starting a revolution in agricultural technology within the ninja world.

Reward: 20 units of chakra. Host chakra amount is now 122 units.

Since the previous system reward, Minato Namikaze's own chakra amount had naturally grown by 1 unit. Yet after this round of teaching, the system had directly rewarded him with 20 units.

Nothing beats a cheat.

Facing a group of children and farmers, Orochimaru said impatiently:

"You are too young. You have never witnessed the splendor of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju.

"Your so-called agricultural ninjutsu are as pitifully useless as weeds before Wood Release.

"This farce ends here. The investigation into this matter is over."

He turned to the clan heads and asked, "Clan Head Nara, Clan Head Akimichi, Clan Head Yamanaka, Clan Head Inuzuka, and White Fang, what are your opinions?"

The Nara Clan head said, "It truly is just children fooling around. It is not worth paying much attention to."

Orochimaru looked toward Jiraiya again and said:

"Jiraiya, your disciple is very talented in the Body Flicker Technique and chakra capacity. Do not foolishly lead him astray."

Minato Namikaze stopping the summoning snake in Orochimaru's sleeve had left a deep impression on him.

After speaking, Orochimaru vanished with the Body Flicker Technique, and the clan heads vanished with it as well.

Upon hearing that Minato Namikaze was highly talented in the Body Flicker Technique, Hatake Sakumo said, "Minato, any ninjutsu, when trained to its utmost limit, can help you become an elite jonin. If there is an opportunity, we can discuss the techniques of the Body Flicker Technique."

Minato Namikaze nodded and watched Hatake Sakumo leave.

Jiraiya patted Minato's head and said:

"Minato, I have been too lazy. I have not kept in touch with our squad recently. I will find us a mission, and tomorrow or the day after, we will leave the village to carry out an extremely difficult mission.

"Do something serious. Do not be worse than me."

Even Jiraiya had fallen into the ingrained mindset of ninja and did not believe these garbage ninjutsu were of any use.

"Teacher, have you gotten tired of watching at that place, so you want to change locations?"

"You brat, why do you always tell the truth? Mainly, it is easy to get discovered. There are too many female ninja in the village, so it is no fun."

Kushina and Mikoto could not understand what the teacher and student were talking about.

Only Haneina secretly blushed. Ah, how did I end up assigned to a squad like this?
