Choosing Forbidden Arts

Beyond the power of Akainu, Yeyu also possessed thirty times the chakra reserves of Kakashi.

With such a massive amount of chakra, combined with Akainu's talent for learning and physical prowess, he was curious to see which ninjutsu he could master.

He followed the Third Hokage to the Hokage Office.

The Third pointed to a workspace beside his desk and said, "That will be your spot from now on."

"It won't be many years before I can no longer carry on, and then you can take this seat."

The Third patted his own chair.

Yeyu leaned against the window and said calmly, "You should keep working hard; I have no interest in this position."

The Third chuckled, "Interest can be cultivated. The reason I want to groom you to be the Hokage, besides your strength, is your mindset."

"I am a good judge of character. Even though you seem uninterested in everything, once you are forced to shoulder a responsibility, you will see it through."

"Even if you might not like it."

Yeyu looked at the Third and said nothing.

The Third patted Yeyu on the shoulder, "Don't worry, you are still young; you won't need to shoulder this heavy burden for a while."

"Now, let me test your chakra nature."

The Third took out a piece of Chakra Paper.

"This Chakra Paper can reveal your chakra nature."

"There are five basic chakra natures in the human body, and it is much easier to master ninjutsu that aligns with your own internal nature."

"Come, channel your chakra into it. Don't use too much, just a little bit will do."

The Third handed the Chakra Paper to Yeyu.

Yeyu was also curious to know what his current chakra natures were.

He channeled his chakra into the Chakra Paper in his hand.

In an instant, the paper began to change.

Furthermore, changes occurred in five distinct areas.

One section of the paper became damp, one was incinerated, one crumbled into dust, one wrinkled significantly, and one was sliced into several pieces.

Yeyu was stunned, "Are these five chakra natures?"

Although he had gained the power of Akainu, he was quite surprised to find he possessed all five chakra natures.

The Third's mouth twitched, "It really is enviable to possess all five chakra natures."

Although the Third also possessed all five, Yeyu was a taijutsu ninja.

Could it be that his talent for ninjutsu was just as great as his talent for taijutsu?

If that were the case, it was truly enviable.

Yeyu asked, "You should also have all five elemental chakra natures, right?"

The Third nodded, "That is correct. Possessing all five elemental chakra natures is very rare; the Second Hokage also possessed all five."

"Besides him and myself, you are the only one in Konoha to possess all five elemental chakra natures."

Yeyu was not surprised at all.

"Having so many chakra natures doesn't necessarily mean anything; it's better to specialize in one or two."

The Third was somewhat surprised, "I didn't expect you to think that way. That is indeed true; even if one possesses five chakra natures, one usually focuses on one or two."

"For example, I know ninjutsu of other natures, but I specialize in Fire Release."

"The Second Hokage specialized in Water Release ninjutsu."

Yeyu did not know much about the Second Hokage.

He only knew that he was a master of Water Release ninjutsu and the Flying Thunder God technique.

He had not known before that the Second possessed all five elemental chakra natures.

The Third asked, "Which nature do you intend to focus on for your ninjutsu?"

Yeyu thought for a moment and said, "Fire Release and Earth Release."

The Third was a bit surprised, "You have made the same choice as me."

Yeyu chose Fire Release and Earth Release because he possessed the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit. In this world, the ability most similar to the Magma-Magma Fruit was Lava Release.

Lava Release was a Kekkei Genkai created by combining Fire Release and Earth Release.

In the future, Yeyu wouldn't need to find excuses whenever he used the power of the Magma-Magma Fruit.

It was just that the power of Lava Release in this world was not on the same level as Yeyu's Magma-Magma Fruit.

But that didn't matter; Yamato's Wood Release was not on the same level as the First Hokage's Wood Release either.

The Third happened to be very proficient in both Earth Release and Fire Release.

Earth Release was used for support, while Fire Release was used for firepower.

"Beyond the five elemental ninjutsu, it would be best to master one or two forbidden-level techniques."

"To use as a trump card."

The Third Hokage led Yeyu to the Hokage Archive.

This place stored various records accumulated by Konoha over the decades, including ninjutsu documentation.

Yeyu scanned the room and selected a few techniques; he did not intend to pick too many.

The Third nodded, quite satisfied with Yeyu's choice.

"Five-Fold Rashomon, Gate of the Great God, and the Flying Thunder God technique—just these three?"

Holding the three scrolls, Yeyu replied, "It's enough. Besides, the learning difficulty for these three is extremely high; I might not even be able to master all of them."

All three of these techniques were S-rank in difficulty.

Yeyu wanted to test just how capable Akainu's learning ability truly was.
