The Dangers of Training in the Flying Thunder God; The Origins of the Yin Seal

Yes!

They're so easily fooled!

Hiruzen Sarutobi only used a little provocation, but Uchiha Makoto stubbornly jumped into the trap!

'He's still an Uchiha after all!'

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a wave of relief wash over him, and his gaze towards Uchiha Makoto became much more affectionate.

Unlike other Ninjutsu, the Flying Thunder God is Space-Time Ninjutsu, and each time it is used, it is like dancing on a tightrope!

The danger is even greater for those with even a little talent!

After all, those with exceptional time-space talent can easily get started, while those without any talent will find it all futile no matter how hard they try.

Only those with a little talent have a tiny chance of success, but they never quite grasp the essentials and can only keep trying. In the end, they are split into countless pieces by the chaotic space during teleportation!

In Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, dying during training was the most likely future for Uchiha Makoto!

Uchiha Makoto's strength is undeniable, so he's certainly not someone without talent. But even Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't believe that Uchiha Makoto possesses exceptional talent in spacetime manipulation.

Despite the existence of the Flying Thunder God for so many years, and with so many people in Konoha, only two people have mastered it in all these decades!

Uchiha Makoto exceptionally gifted in time travel?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought this, his gaze toward Uchiha Makoto gradually filled with satisfaction.

Look!

How considerate the Uchiha!

When the Ninja War first broke out, he withstood the initial pressure for Konoha. Now that the situation has improved, and his Hokage Position is in jeopardy, he deliberately seeks death!

What a great subordinate!

The Uchiha only needs a regular Mangekyō Sharingan!

Konoha doesn't need a second Madara Uchiha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought to himself with a chuckle, but his words betrayed a different sentiment.

"Shall we try practicing first?"

Sarutobi looked at Uchiha Makoto, his brows furrowed, and slowly exhaled smoke as he said, "Training the Flying Thunder God Technique is very dangerous. Are you sure you want to try it?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi, then added.

"You should know that the Flying Thunder God almost entirely values talent!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Makoto simply smiled and waved his hand.

"I have some confidence in myself, so there's no need for you to worry about that, Lord Hokage!"

Joke!

Isn't the almost solidified Dragon Vein power in Uchiha Makoto's "Ōnamuchi: The Hidden World" simply the power of spacetime?

With them around, how could he possibly fail to master the Flying Thunder God Technique?

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Uchiha Makoto before him, paused for a moment, and then slowly nodded.

"Alright then, as you wish!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the Hokage Building, which was still some distance away, and said, "We'll give it to you when we get there!"

"Thank you very much, Lord Hokage!"

Uchiha Makoto smiled slightly and offered a compliment.

At this moment, both of them wore satisfied smiles; they both felt they had gotten a good deal!

Hiruzen Sarutobi glanced at the pale purple diamond-shaped mark symbolizing the Yin Seal on Uchiha Makoto's forehead, and his tone couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

"Speaking of which, including the Flying Thunder God Technique, this is your second forbidden technique, isn't it?"

"You were only six or seven years old when you received the Yin Seal from Tsunade!"

"Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye!"

Uchiha Makoto, Hiruzen Sarutobi also taken aback upon hearing this, and then fell into a reverie.

"I remember that was during the most devastating period of the Second Shinobi World War; the entire Konoha suffered heavy casualties..."

Uchiha Makoto spoke, the people around him also recalled the time when that medical-nin first showed his potential.

The slightly tense atmosphere between the two sides eased.

"Back then, ninjas went to the front lines in batches and returned in batches. There were thousands of wounded in the entire Hidden Konoha Village!"

Uchiha Makoto spoke, a faint sadness lingered in his expression.

"That day, Lady Tsunade's request for medical-nin failed again, and in her anger, she acted like a tyrant in the hospital!"

Thinking of how furious Tsunade was back then, Uchiha Makoto couldn't help but smile slightly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, standing to the side, also smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Back then, the entire Shinobi World was in complete chaos. Today you fight me, tomorrow I fight you, it was utter chaos!"

"Tsunade was overwhelmed with patients at the time and hadn't had a proper rest for several days. She couldn't take it anymore and came to me, bringing up the medical-nin training program she had mentioned before. But I rejected it, citing the ongoing war and the village's lack of resources."

As he was thinking this, Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed. If Konoha had as many medical-nin back then as it does now, things wouldn't have turned out so tragically!

Although everyone was the same back then.

After Hiruzen Sarutobi speaking, Uchiha Makoto took over the conversation.

"That day I accompanied my sister to the hospital and happened to see Lady Tsunade looking troubled. I learned the reason for her trouble from a nurse nearby."

"Then, during one of Lady Tsunade's rare moments of rest, I found her and told her that I could help her establish a medical system."

Uchiha Makoto finished speaking, he touched the top of his head.

"She had just fallen asleep when I woke her up, and she punched me squarely on the head!"

"I cried for a long time!"

Just thinking about this Uchiha Makoto so angry he wanted to grind his teeth!

Do you know how much psychological trauma that punch caused to a six-year-old kid?

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi stroked his beard with great interest and began to explain.

"Tsunade this incident. She was exhausted at the time and was woken up as soon as she closed her eyes, so naturally she was angry!"

Uchiha Makoto nodded in agreement; that was indeed the case back then.

Of course, the possibility that he is Uchiha cannot be ruled out.

"Back then, Lady Tsunade scared me, so I told her my goal was to help her improve medical care, but then..."

Uchiha Makoto clicked his tongue.

"She said I was being delusional! She even said that if I could do it, she would grant me any one of my wishes!"

"Then she grabbed me by the collar, threw me out the door, and even kicked me in the butt before closing the door!"

Uchiha Makoto harbored deep resentment about this!

Who would be so kind as to bully a six-year-old like me?!

After Uchiha Makoto finished speaking, many members of the Uchiha Clan looked at Uchiha Fugaku and Sanjie. Seeing them nod and confirm that it was true, they exchanged knowing glances.

Look at this melon, how sweet it is!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, having also caught wind of the drama, pressed for details.

"But in the end, didn't you still win against Tsunade and obtain the Yin Seal?"

Uchiha Makoto nodded and pointed to Konoha's medical area.

"After being thrown out by Lady Tsunade, I organized and established Konoha Second Hospital."

"At first it might have just been for fun, but given the circumstances, many villagers came to help take care of the wounded, and that's how the medical system gradually emerged!"

"I also received the Yin Seal from Lady Tsunade!"
