Watching Naruto, who was full of energy and being chased and hammered by a Water Elemental, Fuyuki muttered, "Do you think a mere Transformation Technique can seduce me? You really are a blockhead!"
As a transmigrator, Fuyuki's soul had long been branded by his past life. No matter how beautiful someone looked, if they didn't have white, silver, or red hair, he had no interest.
The ancestors once said: white hair and a youthful face. It is evident that a preference for white hair is a legacy passed down from our forefathers!
As for red hair, it was because the redheads in Naruto were all rather hot-tempered. Fuyuki just happened to like those with fiery tempers; taking one home would surely be fun. Otherwise, if he married someone soft and docile, he wouldn't even have anyone to argue with when he was bored!
"Sigh."
An aged sigh rang out. As soon as the Third Hokage arrived, he saw Fuyuki beating up Naruto. He didn't even need to think to know that Naruto must have been bored and itching for a beating again, getting exactly what he asked for.
"Fuyuki, make the summoned beast stop! Don't bully Naruto. Everyone, come over here for class!"
"Alright."
Fuyuki waved his hand, and the summoned beast immediately dissipated. Naruto, soaked from head to toe, learned his lesson this time. He didn't continue to clamor for a one-on-one fight with Fuyuki, but instead glared at him with an indignant expression and muttered, "Sissy."
"Naruto! It is class time now!"
Seeing Naruto begging for another beating, the Third Hokage quickly stepped in to interrupt the brat's remarks, lest Fuyuki drag Naruto into the woods the moment he left. If that happened, no one would know what might occur.
"Heh." Fuyuki chuckled, wearing an inscrutable smile.
You laugh at me for being a sissy today, but wait until we hit the streets later; I'll show you just how popular the "sissy" you speak of really is!
The values of people in the Ninja World followed their aesthetic preferences. Although he wasn't entirely satisfied with his appearance in this life, in terms of Konoha's preference for "pretty boy" aesthetics, Fuyuki was the kind of high-quality, heartwarming boy who could be kidnapped by strange older sisters if he went out without bodyguards.
You stupid fox, what do you know about a young girl's aesthetic!
After the Third Hokage stopped Naruto's grumbling, he began to formally instruct the three of them. His teaching method was simple: he took a stance and played a real-life PvP game with them, the only requirement being that they use every means at their disposal to defeat him.
The Third Hokage certainly had better ways to teach, but he didn't have the time to coach them slowly, and there was only one shortcut!
Combat. Let the body memorize all the knowledge points. The pain the body suffers is no longer just pain; it is experience points!
Because of the recent incidents involving Orochimaru and the Uchiha's conspiracy to rebel, the Third Hokage could only train the three friends in the afternoon, and such time would last for at most one week. After a week, he would be busy with the heavy, trivial matters of Konoha.
The Ninja World did indeed have the Shadow Clone Technique, but the Third Hokage would absolutely never use it to attend meetings. That would not only be disrespectful to the other Konoha elders, but it would also lead people to believe that the Third Hokage was acting irresponsibly.
The combat drill began. Although the Third Hokage held back his attack power, he did not hold back on speed or stamina. His various fancy, serpentine movements left the three of them dumbfounded. Fuyuki, who had activated his Byakugan, couldn't even keep his eyes on the Third Hokage's movements.
One must know that the insight of the Byakugan was superior to that of the Sharingan.
According to the Great Elder of the clan, Fuyuki's proficiency in developing the Byakugan was comparable to a Sharingan with two-tomoe in the left eye and one-tomoe in the right.
But even with that level of Sharingan, one still couldn't lock onto the Third Hokage's trail. In the blink of an eye, the Third Hokage's figure vanished from before their eyes, only to reappear from an unexpected angle to subdue and suppress them one by one.
The first session was taijutsu. The Third Hokage used his own taijutsu to teach the three how to defend against physical attacks and from what angles an enemy might launch a surprise assault.
The second session was also taijutsu, but toward the end of the class, the Third Hokage chatted with them for a while. It was mainly directed at Naruto; his foundation was too poor, and he had spent almost the entire time being beaten by the Third Hokage, unable to fight back.
"Lord Orochimaru, is it really okay for us to be this arrogant?"
Yakushi Kabuto, wearing a conical hat, walked through the bustling streets of Konoha, feeling slightly speechless.
Infiltrating the streets of Konoha and even going to Ichiraku Ramen in broad daylight—do you call this an infiltration?
"Kabuto, are you afraid?"
Using the Vanishing Facial Copy Technique to wear an unfamiliar face, Orochimaru let out a soft laugh, treating the bustling crowd as if they were nothing. "All the Hyuga Jonin capable of seeing through our disguise have been sent out, and the Anbu squads are also searching for us throughout the Land of Fire. Konoha is currently at its most defenseless."
In the entire Konoha village, the only person Orochimaru had to be slightly wary of was the Third Hokage, his own teacher.
The others, like the Hyuga Clan and the Anbu squads, had all been lured out of the village by his schemes. Now, only the 'Root' hidden in the shadows and the Third Hokage were worth mentioning. All the other famous ninjas were playing hide-and-seek in the Land of Fire with the body doubles he controlled.
"Heh heh. Although Konoha's defenses are empty, the Third Hokage's strength should still not be underestimated!"
Orochimaru glanced at the Hokage building, a flash of greed in his eyes, and he revealed an evil smile, licking his lips with his snake-like red tongue. "The Sealing Scroll."
He had once infiltrated the Forbidden Jutsu Library and knew exactly how many terrifying forbidden techniques Konoha had hidden.
He had also caught a glimpse of the Second Hokage's talent. Unfortunately, he hadn't had enough time to memorize all the manuscripts in the library, seeing only a portion.
The so-called Sealing Scroll was actually bait, specifically used to lure out those restless spies.
The real "Sealing Scroll" was actually the Second Hokage's study and manuscripts. After the Second Hokage passed away, the Third Hokage converted the study into a library. This library, hidden within the Hokage building, stored all the forbidden techniques of Konoha from the First to the Fourth Hokage's era.
Orochimaru had returned this time for the Second Hokage's manuscripts and an experimental subject he had previously overlooked.
And the one who invited him back was none other than the 'Root', which claimed to support the great tree that was Konoha!
In exchange for the perfect transplantation of First Hokage Cells and the Sharingan, Danzo promised Orochimaru that he would give him the complete manuscripts of the Second Hokage!
This was a fair but dangerous deal!
Fair in that the output and income were proportional.
Dangerous in that Danzo was currently in the core area of Konoha. If he turned hostile, he could easily have the Root ninjas surround and kill him. Although the probability was low, he still had to guard against Danzo; that man had never known shame!
Except for Danzo, no one knew that the S-rank missing-nin Orochimaru had already infiltrated Konoha and was walking brazenly down the street toward the Root. With Orochimaru and Danzo working together, all the ninjas skilled in search and perception had been sent out of the village.
Of the four high-ranking members of Konoha, Danzo had turned traitor, the Third Hokage was busy teaching children, and the two Konoha elders were still leisurely drinking tea in the Hokage building.
"Heh."
Orochimaru sneered. He said nothing, but in his heart, he felt disgusted by the rotting Konoha.
In the past, how glorious Konoha had been! Whether in terms of combat potential or actual strength, it was the strongest in the Ninja World.
Now, heh heh. The Uchiha rebellion, Konoha's high-end combat power was empty. Of the four high-ranking officials, one was a mole, one was an old man who had lost his edge, and two were oblivious aristocrats.
It was truly disgusting.
