Exchange Students in the Ninja World

Xiao Konan was delighted by Yichen's words; she hadn't expected Yichen to agree so readily.

But upon closer examination of Yichen's words, something seemed amiss.

She looked at Yahiko and Nagato and found that her two companions were looking at her with strange eyes.

Yichen's mental form was also watching her with a grin.

She then realized that Yichen's words were ambiguous.

Her eyes were slightly red, and she glared fiercely at the three sleazy men who were laughing at her.

Yichen and the other two immediately looked away from her.

Yahiko immediately changed the subject, saying, "Yichen, isn't this putting you in a difficult position? Do you really think the higher-ups in your village will agree?"

"If they object, don't be too upset. Even if the Joint Chunin Exams are still hosted by your Iwagakure, we will still come."

"This will not affect our signing of the alliance."

Yichen rolled his eyes inwardly. How could diplomacy between nations be so frank?

He said, "Don't worry, our village's Advisor Group is better than you think; they're not as stubborn as you think."

"Furthermore, two of the Advisor Group are my disciples: Kawakita and Tomoko, whom you've both met. My words carry considerable weight in High-ranking officials meetings."

Konan exclaimed in surprise, "Kawakita and Tomoko have both become advisors? There were rumors a while ago that Kawakita had already reached the Kage Level, is that true?"

Yichen nodded and said, "That's right, and we should also thank you for teaching him swordsmanship when he was a child. He's now following a samurai-like path, and through swordsmanship, he's become a Kage Level fighter, extremely skilled in close combat."

Nagato asked, "Kage Level swordsman skilled in swordsmanship, somewhat like Hanzo?"

Yichen said, "Yes, when we killed Hanzo, didn't he leave behind a book of Sword Technique Scroll? Kawakita learned a lot from that Sword Technique Scroll."

Nagato nodded. He also had a copy of the scroll containing his Sword Technique Scroll, but neither the Land of Rivers nor the Land of Rain had a suitable ninja to train in it.

"Later, I took him to the Land of Iron, where he challenged many of the Land of Iron's masters," Yichen continued.

"Finally, under the guidance of Mifune, the leader of the Artisan Village in the Land of Iron, Kawakita became a near-Kage. Judging by the timeline, it seems he did so a little earlier than Konan."

Konan said with some envy, "Yichen, your ability to teach disciples is truly amazing. What about Tomoko? What's her current skill level?"

Yichen said, "Tomoko is now Elite Jonin. She became Elite Jonin even earlier than Kawakita."

"By the way, Kanako is now an Elite Jonin. Your guidance has been a great help to her. The tips you gave her last time have shown her the way."

"She can now create Exploding Tag directly using Chakra. I brought her with me for this Joint Chunin Exams."

"Yes, yes." Konan nodded vigorously.

Seeing this, Yichen asked, "You've been taking on disciples all these years, haven't you? How are your disciples doing?"

Speaking of this topic, Konan became somewhat discouraged, saying, "Our disciples, let alone those as outstanding as Kawakita, don't even have a single Elite Jonin like Tomoko or Kanako."

"Among all the disciples, the strongest is only Quasi-Jonin. Although he was given the title of Jonin in River Ninja Village, he certainly wouldn't be able to become Jonin in your Five Great Ninja Villages."

Yichen thought for a moment and said, "How about this, we can strengthen our ties and establish an exchange student system. Every year, or every six months, we can send a few or a dozen people from each other to study at the other's Ninja Academy."

"Our Iwagakure has established branches in the Land of Snow, the Land of Demons, and the Land of the Falls. This method will be used between these three branches and our village's Ninja Academy."

"If you're interested, your students can also go to these branches."

"The three of you are very strong, but the others from your Land of Rivers and Land of Rain are not as strong. The geniuses on your side lack competition among geniuses of the same age."

"In this environment, their growth will be very limited. It's good for them to go out and broaden their horizons."

After Yichen finished speaking, he thought to himself, "This method can be discussed with the High-ranking officials and applied to Kirigakure as well."

Konan's eyes lit up, and she said, "That's great! Our Ninja Academy happens to have a few talented students right now."

"It's just that their strength far surpasses that of other children their age in the village, so their motivation to cultivate isn't very strong."

Yichen smiled and said, "Then let's bring all these geniuses to our Iwagakure and let them see what level of geniuses Great Ninja Village can cultivate."

Yahiko nodded and said, "That's a good idea."

Yichen said, "Your biggest problem is that you can't cultivate enough outstanding juniors."

"In terms of top-tier combat strength alone, you are no worse than the Five Great Ninja Villages. Considering Nagato's strength, you are stronger than most of the Great Ninja Village."

"But your ordinary ninjas are completely inadequate. If you can change this situation, you might be able to become the Sixth Great Ninja Village."

"This way, more people will get to know you and take the initiative to learn about your peace ideals."

Yichen painted a rosy picture for the three of them.

Yahiko was very excited about this pie.

Yichen discussed some important points about the Chunin Ninja Exams with the three of them, and then dispelled the Phantasm Body Technique.

Before leaving, Yichen said to Konan, "Goodbye, Konan, I'll come see you again next time."

Then she vanished without a trace, leaving Konan, her face flushed, alone to face the strange gazes of Yahiko and Nagato.

Konan clenched her fists, thinking, "When Yichen form comes next time, I'll definitely show him how powerful I am."

Seeing this, Yahiko smiled and imitated Yichen, saying, "Konan, I have to go take care of official business. I'll come see you again next time."

After saying that, she ran away, leaving Konan face was even redder, grinding her teeth.

Seeing Nagato knew he would become a scapegoat if he didn't leave, so he used a Body Flicker Technique to leave the room.

Iwagakure), Tsuchikage's Office.

Upgrading River Ninja Village to the Sixth Great Ninja Village and bestowing the title of Kage upon Yahiko was originally just a casual remark by Yichen, but now, sitting alone in his office and thinking about it, Yichen felt that this matter would be very beneficial to him.

Having an ally from a mid-tier ninja village feels completely different from having an ally from a Great Ninja Village.

Because Yichen could sense from the High-Level Meeting that the other high-ranking members of the village attached great importance to the alliance with Kirigakure, but were not so concerned about the relationship with Akatsuki Organization.

I believe other ninjas and other ninja villages think the same way.

Once Konoha, Sunagakure, Cloud ninja form an alliance, in the eyes of most people in the Ninja World, the situation will be three against two.

They believed that the situation for the Iwa ninja was very unfavorable.

After all, Iwagakure has never had the incredible feat of defeating four opponents single-handedly, unlike Konoha in the past.

After pondering the situation in the Ninja World for a while, Yichen processed the backlog of documents.

After finishing processing the documents, Yichen seemed to remember something and took out the Ninja World Map to look at it.

During the battle with the three Kage in the Land of Hot Water, Yichen's Mind's Mind's Eye perception was fully activated under the enhancement of Sage Mode.

The scope of its reach far exceeded everyone's imagination, including the already extremely cautious White Zetsu clone.

The White Zetsu clone were conducting reconnaissance from a distance of twenty kilometers.

This distance is already extremely far; Byakugan, the strongest reconnaissance ability in the Ninja World, and the Kikaichū of the Aburame Clan would find it difficult to reach this level.

When Yichen went out to do bad things, he would often hide this far away to spy on people.

For example, during the Nine-Tails' Rampage, Yichen quietly observed Konoha from this distance.

However, the White Zetsu clone were unaware that after Konoha underwent three consecutive changes, Yichen's Mind's Eye had reached a terrifying maximum range of eighty kilometers.

Yichen's ability has transcended the realm of a ninja; it's more like that of Sage.

During the fierce battle, Yichen did not notice the White Zetsu clone, after all, the White Zetsu clone was very good at concealing its aura.

However, after the battle, before leaving, Yichen subconsciously conducted a comprehensive reconnaissance and discovered dozens of White Zetsu clone in an area twenty kilometers away.

These White Zetsu clone, perhaps having sensed the end of the battle, mostly left the battlefield quickly.

What concerned Yichen the most was that these White Zetsu clone left in basically the same direction.

White Zetsu's Mayfly Technique allows him to travel underground without obstruction, and he usually doesn't need to turn. Therefore, Yichen had every reason to believe that the direction White Zetsu clone left in was the direction of their new base.

Yichen had no idea how far away this new base was.

Yichen located the position on the map where he fought Tsunade and the Tsunade, and then drew a ray along the direction the White Zetsu clone had left, using that position as the endpoint.

The ray of light swept across the Ninja World, dividing the map into two parts.

Yichen stared thoughtfully at the line. As expected, Obito Uchiha and the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path were on this line.

But this one lead alone isn't enough; Yichen needs other intelligence.

Yichen tapped his fingers lightly on the table while a sinister smile appeared on his face, as if he were a major rebel plotting a scheme.

After a while, Yichen arrived at the Training Ground where the three members of Team Six were located.

Seeing his three disciples focused on their cultivation, Yichen felt somewhat inadequate as their teacher.

Having been causing trouble so much lately, Yichen neglected to guide these three students.

Stepping forward and beckoning to the three, Yichen said, "Come here, everyone, and tell me about your recent cultivation progress."

"Teacher Yichen, I'm having trouble with my Super Beast Imitation Drawing Technique." Sasagawa Ayumi was the first to speak.

Sasagawa Ayumi had no role models in his training path. Yichen obtained this Ninjutsu from Orochimaru, but he did not have any related insights.

Sasagawa Ayumi, with the skill level of a Genin, is directly practicing Ninjutsu at least A-rank.

To put it more dramatically, Sasagawa Ayumi was actually practicing some kind of secret technique.

It would be a miracle if everything went smoothly.

Even if it were Yichen instead, Yichen would be skilled in Water Release.

However, if the Hozuki Clan's Water Release Technique were taught to Yichen, who was only Genin Yichen back then, and he could successfully master it, it would truly be extraordinary.

Then Sasagawa Ayumi spoke up, "Teacher Yichen, I also know that Chakra is amazing."

"But how can Chakra make a drawing into a moving object? I have no idea, and the Ninjutsu Scroll doesn't describe it in detail."

Yichen thought for a moment and estimated that cultivating this Super Beast Imitation Drawing also required special talent. To achieve this key point, a special understanding of Chakra was needed.

This kind of understanding is difficult to write about in a book and cannot be passed down stably.

Therefore, it was not recorded in Ninjutsu Scroll.

So Yichen said directly, "I'm not good at this either. How about this, I'll take you to see someone in a bit, and you can learn from her how to handle similar problems."

Sasagawa Ayumi asked curiously, "Teacher Yichen, does that person know how to create Super Beast Imitation Drawing?"

Yichen shook his head and said, "No, that person knows Paper Style Jutsu, a magical ability to transform Chakra into paper."

"Paper Style Jutsu is somewhat similar to the Super Beast Imitation Drawing you're learning; both are amazing uses of Chakra. She might be able to teach you something."

Sasagawa Ayumi nodded, somewhat dejected, feeling that he had let his teacher down.

Yichen managed to get him such a high-level Ninjutsu Scroll, but in the end, he still needed to ask others for help and guidance.

Yichen knew what Sasagawa Ayumi thinking, but he said nothing.

He'll naturally come to terms with this in the future. He'll understand when he has disciples of his own.

Then Yichen looked at Chiga. Compared to Sasagawa Ayumi, Chiga's training was undoubtedly much smoother.

Chiga has at least honed her Blood Sense ability to a high level.

With the Sensory Ninjutsu taught to her by Yichen, she was at least barely qualified as a sensory-type ninja.

However, Yichen has very high expectations for Chiga, and the current level is not enough.

After thinking for a moment, Yichen said, "Chiga, I don't know where your Blood Sense ability came from. Is it innate?"

"However, your development of this ability cannot stop at simply using it. You need to study where the limits of this ability lie."

"For example, how many living beings can you sense at once? How long does it take for the blood left by a living organism to become ineffective? How much blood is needed for you to successfully sense it?"

"For example, how to extend the perception time, or how to judge the distance to the other person."

"For example," Yichen paused, then said, "I require you to be able to Blood Sense."

"More importantly, one should be able to sense those connected to him by blood, such as his parents and children."

"If you're facing a very strong ninja, obtaining their blood is extremely difficult, but their relatives might not be so powerful."

"If you can obtain the blood of his relatives to lock onto this powerful individual, then the effectiveness of your Blood Sense will be greatly enhanced."

Chiga was stunned. Only then did she realize what aspect of her Yichen.

After Yichen's guidance, she suddenly had many thoughts.

Many ninjas in the Ninja World belong to large clans.

If it were possible to locate all members of a clan through a person's bloodline, then encountering Chiga on the battlefield would be a nightmare for those ninja clans.

Even more so, if her ability could also discern the strength of her enemies, then in certain special circumstances, even the Byakugan might be outmatched by her.

Chiga nodded vigorously.

"As the Tsuchikage, you can have many advantages. If you need ninja blood, I will arrange for the Anbu to conduct experiments on you," Yichen added.

Chiga's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded his thanks.

Yichen didn't say anything more, but looked at the last one, Sokai.
