Sasuke's Struggle
"Lord Hokage!" the staff greeted him.
"Thank you all for your hard work," Shuichi very formal tone. "Let's begin..."
"Yes!"
A moment later, the ninja operating the machine raised his hand to signal, and the video recorder began to operate.
Shuichi stood in the center of the field facing the camera, first calmly explaining the Ninjutsu Theory, then Hand Seals with standard movements and releasing Fire Release: Great Blaze to the side!
Call!
The fireball he spat out was compressed into a flat shape, covering an area of nearly 10 meters horizontally, and even charred the specially made hard bricks of the venue.
This move is an improvement on the Great Fireball, and it's slightly more difficult. The key is the compression technique before the exit, but the downside is that it's hard to hit enemies who are airborne.
After finishing the Ninjutsu, he began to explain in detail how chakra flows and the details of Nature Transformation. He then demonstrated a slightly modified version, releasing it twice while explaining.
The author left suggestions for further improvement at the end, thus officially completing the recording of this Fire Release Ninjutsu.
The staff member pressed the stop button, turned on the machine, took out the videotape, quickly replaced it with a new one, saw Shuichi's gesture, and continued to repeat the operation.
Fire Release: Fire Snake Technique!
Water Release: Multiple Water Bullets!
Water Release: Minor Waterfall Technique!
Water Release: Water Wave Hand!
Lightning Release: Crescent Moon!
Lightning Release: Lightning Whip!
A new ninja was extremely shocked; an entire Battery had been used up, and the videotapes were piled up as high as a small mountain.
Shuichi, who unleashed dozens of Ninjutsu, remained completely unfazed. Was someone with such a terrifying amount of chakra even human?
"Don't just stand there, come over and help tidy up."
His companion woke him up, proudly laughing, "This is the strength of our Fifth Hokage of Konoha! From now on, every ninja's battle merits can be exchanged for the most suitable Ninjutsu. The videotape must be carefully preserved."
Shuichi plans to comprehensively improve the quality of mid-level ninjas. In addition to strengthening the teaching quality of the Ninja Academy, the second change will focus on the inheritance of Ninjutsu.
After careful consideration, he chose to target C-rank Ninjutsu, improving several signature Ninjutsu from the five elemental ninjutsu.
By increasing or decreasing the difficulty of learning, a single Ninjutsu can be expanded into multiple variants, each with its own functional emphasis.
Firstly, this level of technique is the primary method used by Chunin; secondly, it won't impact the status of the Ninja Clan within the village.
Furthermore, because they gain battle merits more easily, those who are willing to use their brains can indirectly grasp the Hokage's development ideas, make up for the shortcomings of their own family's inherited Ninjutsu, and improve their strength faster than ordinary ninjas.
What the future will hold is currently unknown.
Now, several D-rank Ninjutsu and new C-rank Ninjutsu used with special tools have been recorded in video form, abandoning the Scroll inheritance method.
Shuichi felt that simply stating "C-rank" was inaccurate, so after comprehensively evaluating the power and difficulty of learning, he divided C-rank Ninjutsu into: C--, C-, C, C+, and C++...
When someone chooses to redeem their item, they can go to a special room in the Ancient Books Hall to watch the content, which contains Lord Hokage's personal tutorials—the quality is undoubtedly excellent.
Furthermore, more insights will be updated regularly. Once you've redeemed a skill, you don't need battle merits to revisit it; there's only a limit to the number of times you can revisit it each year.
At the same time, ninjas are encouraged to upload their experiences, and villages that discover valuable information will also provide compensation for their battle achievements.
In this way, the library of ninjutsu suitable for Chunin is now quite comprehensive.
Newly promoted Chunin can quickly learn a simple, easy-to-learn, and cost-effective ninjutsu to protect themselves. As for their future achievements, that depends entirely on their individual comprehension.
While Shuichi was filling the Ninjutsu library
At the Ninja Academy, Iruka finished grading the exams at noon and relayed the Hokage's orders to all the teachers in the afternoon.
Soon, the older students were in an uproar. Guidance from the Lord Hokage, especially one-on-one teaching, meant that rapid progress with just a few words was no longer a dream.
They didn't look down on the school teachers, but comparing a Chunin a Kage was like comparing heaven and earth—it was completely different. This was exactly what the teachers had said themselves during their history lessons...
In the noisy classroom of Class 1, Grade 5,
Sasuke crossed his arms and rested them on his chin, looking like he was deep in thought. His cool expression, combined with his handsome face inherited from his mother, made it no wonder that so many girls were infatuated with him.
Although he appeared calm, a burning passion stirred within him.
For years, despite consistently ranking first in the Ninja Academy, she always seemed to fall short of her brother.
Many students secretly referred to him as "the Son of the Uchiha Clan Head" and "the Hokage's Disciple's Younger Brother," as if it was normal for him to get first place, and it would be shameful if he didn't.
After all, Uchiha Itachi graduated from the Ninja Academy at the age of seven and Chunin the age of eight. It's not surprising that such a freakish genius had a younger brother who was slightly better than them.
Every time I came home, my father would see the report card full of perfect scores, but he would remain expressionless, only saying things like, "Keep learning from your brother."
Is it really that hard to say "As expected of my son"...? Sasuke was already seething with anger.
He couldn't wait to prove himself. Itachi was the Hokage's disciple, and Sasuke was initially anxious because the gap between them was widening. But now, his chance had come!
He must obtain the Lord Hokage's guidance so that the Hokage can fairly evaluate who is better, him or Itachi. Recognition from the strongest ninja would certainly be convincing.
"Those who perform well receive rewards, so if I excel in every aspect, will I get even more?" Sasuke thought to himself.
Thinking of his rival, he glanced out of the corner of his eye at the pink-haired girl in the seat in front of him.
It's difficult to surpass Haruno Sakura in theoretical knowledge, but Sasuke is determined to give it his all, even if it means staying up all night and working himself to the bone...
The new textbooks make the theoretical knowledge easier to understand and less boring. The training in Taijutsu, Shurikenjutsu, and Ninjutsu is more rigorous, Sasuke's level of effort surprises Itachi and Fugaku.
Itachi probably guessed his younger brother's thoughts, so during their sparring sessions, he began to display more techniques, hoping Sasuke would discover and learn from them, ultimately making them his own.
However, Sasuke only felt the gap suddenly widen. While questioning his life, he gritted his teeth and persevered, determined that once he received guidance from the Lord Hokage, he would be able to catch up!
Needless to say, Fugaku, the Head of the Guard, was busy with his work. When he occasionally guided Sasuke in his training, he found that Sasuke's learning speed in all aspects was not as good as Itachi's, and it was difficult for him to feel any excitement.
This effort suggests that he has taken his advice to heart and continued to learn from his brother, an attitude that pleased Fugaku.
Seeing that Sasuke hadn't even glanced at it, he was still considering whether the "assassination" plan could be launched. Anyway, there was no danger in trying it out, and it might even unleash Sasuke's potential...
When you're engrossed in something, time seems to fly by.
Before he knew it, a semester had ended, Sasuke was overjoyed when he heard Iruka-sensei's secret message.
Because of his outstanding performance, the Lord Hokage decided to give him priority instruction, spending half a day on him alone, instead of giving each of the other students 10 to 15 minutes at a time.
Worried that others might feel resentful, the teacher advised him not to show off, but to focus on learning something from the Lord Hokage instead, a suggestion he was well aware of.
The first day of the holiday, in the afternoon, the sky was clear and blue.
When Sasuke arrived at the Training Ground 3 full of energy, he was surprised to find a figure in Memorial Stone.
The Hokage's red and white Hokage Robe fluttered gently in the breeze. After glancing once more at the names of the fallen heroes, the other person seemed to sense someone approaching, turned around, and revealed a gentle smile.
"Hokage... Lord, you've arrived so early..." Sasuke stammered awkwardly. The other man seemed very kind, but Sasuke sensed a terrifying aura within him, which he suppressed and didn't unleash.
"Oh, it's Sasuke. You've grown taller again."
Shuichi chuckled, quickly lightening the atmosphere, "I heard from Itachi that you've been working very hard lately. Why don't you spend more time with your friends at this age? You won't have so much free time once you become a ninja."
The tension was dispelled by Shuichi's question. Upon hearing the name "Itachi," Sasuke pouted and feigned disdain, saying, "My brother just loves to meddle. The ninja games at school are pretty boring; it's better to spend time training."
"Haha, it seems you're a natural-born ninja..." Shuichi praised.
"Lord Hokage, please give me some guidance..."
Sasuke looked at him with great interest, "Let's see who was better between me and Itachi when we were the same age!"
"... Okay." Shuichi said dumbly.
This kid is really pitiful. His older brother and father are both taciturn and completely incapable of comforting people. Sasuke has never received any praise since he was a child.
"You have plenty of time today, and the schoolwork is quite easy for you, so why don't you test your skills first?"
Shuichi and said, feeling very happy.
After so much preparation, Indra's chakra is about to be obtained.
It seems only by becoming Hokage can one have access to abundant resources, whether it's Ninjutsu, knowledge, or the ease of doing things—it's incomparable to what it used to be...
