Arriving

Yichen listed the Mangekyo Uchiha he knew. Obito's kindness was the most obvious, but weren't Shisui Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha also kind?

Aside from these two more positive figures, Fugaku Uchiha's unwillingness to destroy Konoha for the sake of the Uchiha Clan's ambitions also stemmed from his kindness.

Even Madara Uchiha, in his youth, shared the same ideal as Hashirama Senju: to end the chaos of the world. His Moon Eye Plan was also for what he believed to be peace.

Others, like the Uchiha who created Izanami, were complete saints.

Therefore, Yichen speculated that the Mangekyō Sharingan might have been a protective measure that spontaneously formed because its original pure and kind values suffered a huge shock and the owner was unable to accept reality.

Therefore, the more the master desires something, the more the Mangekyō Sharingan's abilities will become.

Thinking about this, Yichen really wanted to go to Konoha and find a child from the Uchiha Clan, the kinder the better.

Unfortunately, Konoha is too dangerous. Not to mention that Konoha and Iwa ninja are actually competitors now, even if they were true allies, as long as Danzo, Konoha is not a safe place.

However, we can have spies keep an eye on the Uchiha Clan. Hmm, I'll go to the Intelligence Department to make arrangements after the meeting. Yichen's task of overseeing the Intelligence Department has been transferred to Saka, but as a high-ranking advisor, assigning him a task or two shouldn't be a problem. Saka won't hold it against him.

Yichen in thought, was quickly pulled back to reality by Saka's words.

"I think Konoha might still resort to force. Given the personalities of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura Danzō, they would never allow any organization within Konoha to openly defy their orders. The Uchiha Clan has probably crossed a line with Konoha High-ranking officials this time."

Ōnoki nodded slightly; as the Kage of a village, he understood this perfectly. He then said, "Keep an eye on the actions of Konoha High-ranking officials. Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi is going to make a move, he won't be so quick. We should be able to analyze some clues."

Saka nodded in agreement.

At that moment, Ōnoki suddenly turned to look at Yichen and asked, "How is Han Five-Tails Jinchuriki, doing?"

Ōnoki has been spending more time with Roshi lately, but Roshi's temper is unbearable for him, and the two are not getting along well.

Yichen had naturally heard about this as well, and smiled as he said, "Han is doing very well. I plan to let him select a few disciples after the new students graduate in a few months."

Ōnoki frowned. Yichen had mentioned this before, and he already thought it was unreliable. His interactions with Roshi these past few days made him think it was even more unreliable.

Seeing Ōnoki's expression, Yichen said, "Anyway, they're just a few Genin. Let's consider it a contribution to the Tailed Beast research. If they don't get along in the end and it delays those people, we'll compensate them with more contributions. Even if Han can't teach them well, we still have me."

"But what if it works? For example, what if someone learns the Kekkei Genkai that only Tailed Beast possess? Didn't the Third Kazekage learn Magnetic Release: Sand Iron from the One-Tail?"

Hearing Yichen's words, Ōnoki finally relaxed and said, "You handle this matter, but be careful not to overstep the bounds."

Yichen nodded quickly in agreement.

At this moment, Ikura asked, "Yichen, among the newly graduated Genin, are you still selecting disciples?"

"Of course I'll choose. Actually, Ogura Saki and the others' ninja journey is already on the right track. There's not much more I can do. As long as I send them anything good, like I did with Tomoko and the others before, and it helps their growth, then I'll have fulfilled my duty as their teacher."

"Once Ogura Saki's team disbands, I'll be all alone again, and I'll definitely take on another batch of disciples. What about you? Are you still taking on disciples?"

After thinking for a moment, Ikura shook his head and said, "I am very satisfied with my three current disciples and have no plans to take on any more for the time being."

Yichen felt a little regretful. If Ikura had also taken on disciples, his life would have been easier. For example, when he went out to have fun, he could have entrusted Ikura to take care of him.

Thinking of this, Yichen looked at Ōnoki again and asked, "Lord Tsuchikage, won't you consider taking on a few disciples?"

Without a second thought, Ōnoki shook his head and said, "I don't have time." He then glared at Yichen, clearly displeased that Yichen often used his disciples' affairs as an excuse to avoid dealing with village matters.

However, Ōnoki had to admit Yichen's ability to teach his disciples.

Yichen's first batch of disciples made rapid progress in their strength.

Kajiyamari is now a full-fledged Jonin. Kawakita's strength has improved by leaps and bounds since returning from the Land of Rain, especially in swordsmanship. He has recently developed several new sword techniques, including a B-rank one. Tomoko's strength has also fully entered the Jonin ranks, and she will probably be taking on apprentices with Yichen this time.

It's important to know that the Tomoko, are only 13 years old. Considering that Kawakita hasn't officially become Jonin yet and it will be some time before he does, Yichen's first batch of disciples should be around 13 or 14 years old when they become Jonin. But three 13 or 14-year-old Jonin disciples are still terrifying enough.

There was such a powerful person in the Ninja World named Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Yichen's second batch of disciples were also quite strong.

Of the three, Takuya is the most talented and is now Chunin- tier Chunin.

Matsutani Shinya's Combination Ninjutsu is exceptional; if it weren't for his limited Chakra reserves, he would be even more troublesome than Takuya.

Ogura Saki is even more extraordinary. Despite having the weakest foundation, she progressed the fastest. Although she appears to be the weakest in terms of strength, Ōnoki knows that she has the greatest potential. Putting aside everything else, just developing the bloodline limit alone has been a remarkably smooth process for Ogura Saki.

If it weren't for his own many commitments, Ōnoki would really like to take on a few disciples.

"Alright, that concludes today's meeting. The third round of exams is just around the corner, so be careful these next few days and don't let ninjas from other villages find any loopholes."

"Yes." Yichen and the others agreed and left the Tsuchikage's Office together.

Yichen returned to his office, processed the accumulated documents, and then went back to the valley where Han was.

From now on, Yichen will begin to formally practice the Chidori Flow. He carefully recalled the scene in the original work where Sasuke used the Chidori Flow in battle, and then carefully analyzed his own guesses about the principles behind the Chidori Flow.

Only then did Yichen begin to try it.

The development process wasn't particularly difficult; achieving the goal of projecting Lightning Release strikes over long distances wasn't challenging, as Yichen's control over the situation made it easy.

The challenge lies in maintaining accuracy and sufficient power after unleashing Lightning Release attack.

This is completely different from Yichen's previous practice of controlling Lightning Release on the lake. The Chidori Flow Stream is difficult to condense in the air without the support of a medium.

Fortunately, Yichen's understanding of Ninjutsu was now vastly different from before, and his theoretical preparation was also very thorough, so his training in Chidori Flow went quite smoothly. Just seven days later, Yichen completed his training.

Chou-Mao-Shen, Chidori, Chidori Flow.

Yichen formed three hand seals and unleashed the Chidori technique. He then concentrated the Chidori in his right hand, and with a flick of his wrist, a bolt of blue Lightning Release shot out into the distance.

"Boom."

The sound wasn't loud, but the Chidori Flow struck a reinforced Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall that Yichen had created using Earth Release Earth Release a hundred meters away.

The Chidori Flow left only a shallow crater on top. The shallow crater was nothing compared to the thick Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall, but it was quite good as a ranged attack method.

Considering the fragile bodies of ninjas, the power of this move is quite considerable. If one is directly hit by Chidori Flow, it is basically a death sentence unless one is a ninja with an extraordinary physique.

The Chidori Flow has several advantages. First, it requires fewer Hand Seals. The Chidori Flow is based on the Chidori only requires three hand seals, while the Chidori Flow does not require any additional Hand Seals. In other words, the Chidori Flow, a new A-rank ranged attack Ninjutsu created by Yichen, also only requires three hand seals.

The Second Chidori Flow is Lightning Release, which naturally has the paralyzing effect that comes with Lightning Release. Even if it doesn't hit a vital spot, it can still paralyze the enemy's body, buying time for the caster to follow up with a strike.

The sound and light effects of the third Chidori are absolutely stunning, disrupting both the enemy's hearing and vision. Imagine if your opponent instinctively avoids the blinding light of Chidori, how can they defend against the Chidori Flow shooting out from within Chidori?

Therefore, Yichen was very satisfied with this Ninjutsu and immediately wrote down the training method to submit to the village.

It was at this moment that the Anbu arrived again. Although the Anbu was still sent by Ōnoki, this time it wasn't because Ōnoki had something to do, but because the representatives of the four provinces of Kawa had arrived. The people who came were Yahiko Nagato and Konan.

Since Konan was kidnapped, the three of them have basically never been separated. This time, when they came to Iwagakure, they originally wanted to leave one of them behind to manage the village, but none of them trusted their companion, so they came together in the end.

Ōnoki asked Yichen to receive Nagato other two.

Yichen naturally had no objections, and after saying goodbye to Han, he hurriedly left the valley.

Watching Yichen leave, Han felt envious. He envied Yichen for having friends, and he also envied Yichen for having disciples. However, the thought that he might also have disciples in a few months made Han so excited that he couldn't sleep.

These days, Han has been thinking Tenten about what he can teach his disciples. Every time he takes stock of his meager resources, he feels a little worried, afraid that his disciples will be disappointed if they feel they can't learn any suitable Ninjutsu from him.

But what Han fears even more is that if he doesn't do well, Yichen will also be disappointed in him.

Yichen arrived at the entrance of Iwagakure as quickly as possible, and sure enough, Yahiko and the other two were waiting there. There were several other people with them, who seemed to be high-ranking officials from the Land of Rivers.

Those high-ranking officials were still somewhat worried about coming to Iwagakure. Having been suppressed by the Land of Fire Land of Wind for many years, they understood the greed and arrogance of the great powers.

For a time, the Land of Rivers even had to endure the wrath of the Land of Rain. There was nothing they could do; after all, the Land of Rain had produced a demigod.

Thinking of this, the high-ranking officials looked at Yahiko, who was curiously looking into Iwagakure. They had a very good impression of this young man. After he took over River Ninja Village, the pressure that the Land of Rivers faced from the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire suddenly lessened a lot.

"Hopefully, we'll receive relatively fair treatment this time in the Land of Earth," they thought to themselves.

"Yahiko, Nagato, Konan," Yichen called out from a distance.

Yahiko and the other two withdrew their gaze from the interior of Iwagakure and turned to look at Yichen. They were both surprised that Yichen had returned from outside and delighted Yichen he had arrived so quickly.

Yichen stepped forward and gave Yahiko and Nagato a bear hug each, then made a record with the Iwa ninja guarding the gate before leading Yahiko and his group into Iwagakure.
