Three Forbidden Ninja Arts and Being Reported

Seeing everyone lounging around contemplating life, Shuichi took the initiative to set up various foods. The barbecue equipment at home was already prepared, and with his hand speed, skewering the meat was incredibly fast. "Ready to dig in! How about some drinks?"

"You're blatantly violating the Three Forbidden Ninja Arts!" Asuma shouted, somewhat indignantly. After seeing Shuichi's Villa today, he felt that his identity as the Son of the Hokage was no longer appealing.

Thinking back to the Third Hokage's usual teachings, which he had previously dismissed, he now used them as strong evidence to refute them. "My dad said that desires for money and alcohol can harm a ninja, and in the long run, they will definitely affect a ninja's combat effectiveness."

Upon hearing this, Might Guy's expression brightened. "That's right! The Three Forbidden Ninja Arts are extremely dangerous. If we double our efforts in training, we will definitely be able to catch up with Shuichi's strength in the future."

However, Shuichi his good friend, and he didn't want to see him fall into depravity because of this. "Shuichi, look what the Third Lord said, isn't that right..."

"Heh heh, give me a break!" Shuichi scoffed. The Third Hokage Tenten himself used Crystal Ball to spy on the women's bathhouse every day, and he still had the nerve to say such things, "The so-called Three Forbidden Ninja Arts can only fool children. Anyone who believes them is a fool."

"Do you know the true meaning of the prohibitions? They're meant to be broken! And the more you break them, the stronger you become!" Shuichi began by using twisted logic to brainwash his friends. "A ninja needs the ability to resist all temptations, but there's no way to train in that area, so what should we do?"

"The answer is to actively immerse yourself in it, so you have ample opportunity to experience it, and then find a way to overcome it with a strong mind. In this way, you can achieve a state of Shisui tranquility during battle, and will not be disturbed by various unexpected factors."

"What? Is this the reason you're so powerful?" Might Guy exclaimed in disbelief, it actually sounded quite reasonable!

Kakashi was speechless. Was this some kind of beastly brain? So easily fooled...

Asuma's face flushed red as he struggled to find arguments to refute Shuichi's words, but Shuichi pressed his advantage, giving him no chance.

"For example, in our village, the only ninja who has mastered Sage Mode is Jiraiya. To master Sage Mode Konoha, one must have tremendous willpower."

"Do you know how he did it?" Shuichi asked mysteriously, piquing their curiosity. "He broke Three Forbidden Ninja Arts at once. Trust me, all you need to do is pinpoint his approximate location and head straight to the various Peach Blossom Pavilion to find him."

"Do you know why you're not strong enough? It's because you lack the mindset of a master." Shuichi poked his head with his finger. "Ordinary ninjas just blindly follow the rules, which isn't advisable."

"To break through your own limits, you can't be conventional. For example, to resist the 'poison' of temptation, the best way isn't to stay away, but to first immerse yourself in the poison, then resist it with strong willpower. Only when you succeed can you truly become immune to all poisons..."

It did sound plausible, and everyone was confused by Shuichi's words. Even Kakashi began to doubt whether the theory was correct.

After a bit of bluffing, Shuichi felt he even believed it himself. "I'm a genius, yeah... that's right. Moving into the Villa is a test of willpower, and it seems I can keep it up forever."

After the dinner party ended that day, he saw off his friends, each with their own thoughts, and then began to enjoy his happy life living in the big Villa.

When there are no missions, he sleeps until he naturally wakes up, then trains in his private training ground and often relaxes in hot springs, living an exceptionally comfortable life.

After Shuichi officially moved into the Villa, the three businessmen quickly took action. Although they did not carry out a large-scale publicity campaign, they precisely targeted wealthy customers with their message.

Before long, a large number of land and houses near Shuichi's home were transferred and rented out. Many people came to the Villa and agreed to the transaction almost on the spot.

Purple Aurora has taken great care of its home, so it will surely protect it carefully, which will greatly improve the safety of the surrounding area. If any dangerous intruders appear, it will definitely take action to eliminate them.

Time slipped by unnoticed. Not long ago, Konoha launched an attack to repel the invasion of the Land of Earth. At the same time, it frequently accepted the employment of smaller countries to participate in wars. Such actions had a significant effect. After demonstrating to the outside world that its strength was still formidable, conflicts and contradictions within Land of Fire immediately decreased.

In the Hokage's Office, Sarutobi Hiruzen was engrossed in processing various documents. Although the crisis facing the village had subsided, he was still extremely busy, with a large amount of official business requiring his personal attention as the Hokage every day.

"Knock knock knock..."

"Please come in!"

Upon hearing the knock, the Third Hokage quickly let the visitor in. The visitor was an administrative staff member dressed as a ninja, carrying a stack of documents. "It's Keita. Thank you for your hard work. Could you briefly report on the recent situation?"

"Yes, Lord Hokage, this is the village's recent income report." Keita, one of the heads of the finance department, handed Sarutobi Hiruzen a summary sheet. "The village's revenue has surged recently, arguably the largest increase in recent years, which is quite unexpected."

"Oh? Has the number of clients from different countries increased?" The Third Hokage was a little puzzled. He remembered receiving more mission requests, but it shouldn't have increased dramatically, right? Had he remembered wrong?

"No, that's not the case," Keita explained. "Firstly, part of the increase comes from residential transaction taxes. We investigated this and found that 90% of the transactions came from the area previously destroyed by Nine-Tails. But the root cause is Lord Shuichi's move to the area..."

The Third Hokage was somewhat moved after hearing this, not expecting that Shuichi's awareness was so high, not only strengthening the village's outer defenses but also bringing in so much revenue.

After learning this, he summoned Mokui, the Anbu in charge of patrols, and asked, "What's the situation there now?"

He planned to provide support if there were any inconveniences in the outskirts of the village, so that Shuichi wouldn't suffer too much.

Mokui: "... Everything is normal. This is a record of matters related to the reconstruction area. However, there are also a few anonymous tip-offs. Please take a look."

"Sorry, Shuichi, there's nothing I can do to help you. You'll be found out sooner or later anyway," he thought helplessly.

A couple of days ago, I was invited to a music party at Shuichi Villa. I have to say, it was quite enjoyable to relax a bit.

"A report? Who was reported?" The Third Hokage frowned slightly, took the file bag, and nearly choked on his cigarette smoke as he looked inside. "Cough cough cough..."
