In the alleyway.
"Wow, you're Jonin? That makes you just like Kakashi!" Might Guy exclaimed in amazement when he heard that Goenji was Jonin who had come to discuss matters with the Hokage.
Looking at Goenji, he was filled with disbelief.
He's only a little older than them, and he's already Jonin.
Genma Shiranui did the same, scrutinizing Goenji even more closely. "As expected of Uchiha, you're truly impressive. We shall call you Goenji then."
Jonin represents a well-rounded ninja, not only in terms of combat prowess, but also in terms of experience and wisdom, which far surpasses that of others.
That's not something that can be achieved simply through combat strength.
Combat strength is not the standard for evaluating whether someone can become Jonin; it's just a basic requirement.
Genma inwardly marveled, wondering what kind of talent allowed someone to be so powerful.
However, he knew that among his classmates, there was someone even more impressive, so he wasn't as amazed.
"Isn't he the twin stars of the Uchiha, Firelight Goenji?"
"That man who stood up to the Tsuchikage for a month, I never expected it to be you! You're so handsome! Can you tell us how you managed to hold off the Tsuchikage?"
Ebisu racked his brains and finally remembered where he had heard the name before. It was information he had just received; he had almost forgotten it due to his nervousness. His eyes were fixed on Goenji, filled with longing.
Even those annoying Uchiha guys aren't so bad if they can hold off the Tsuchikage for so long.
"What? The Tsuchikage that Goenji held off? That's amazing! Even stronger Kakashi! This is youth! I'm going to kick him 1,500 times when I get back!" Might Guy's eyes were filled with energy, and his fists were brimming with power.
Genma was stunned; he had just thought of it when Ebisu said it.
I never expected it to be him.
He is now one of the most famous people besides Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru.
"It's nothing to mention. You can do it too in the future. It's not a difficult thing. As long as you work hard and keep improving, that's all you need to do, right, Might Guy?" Hearing the praise, Goenji felt a sense of accomplishment.
Although he wasn't as amazing as other transmigrators who defeated the invincible Shinobi World in just a few days, he still achieved this level in less than a year, which is quite impressive.
And he doesn't have a system.
Everything he achieved was through his own hard work.
When Might Guy was mentioned, he became incredibly energetic. "Of course, I will not only surpass Kakashi, but I will also surpass you."
Ebisu and Genma glanced to the side.
That's impossible.
They are about the same age, which means their potential for progress is in the same era. They are already so far apart now, and the gap will only widen in the future.
Especially since the Uchiha possessed Kekkei Genkai, their advantage was far greater than theirs, making it impossible for them to catch up.
"Alright, I need to go find the Lord Hokage now. I gave him advance notice, so it wouldn't be good to be late," Goenji said to them after chatting for a while.
"I see. Then could you share some of your experience with me tomorrow? I'm sure if it's you, you'll have a lot of experience to share with us," Might Guy suddenly said.
Not polite at all.
Genma and Ebisu both wanted to shut him up; this was a matter of revealing information, and it wasn't like they didn't have teachers to ask for help.
And the other party definitely won't do that.
Jonin's time is extremely precious, especially for such a powerful Jonin.
There must be a lot to do in the village.
"No problem, tomorrow at noon. I'm going to test out some new Ninjutsu anyway, so I'll show you guys around and share some experience with you." Goenji thought about the few Ninjutsu he had and figured it wouldn't be a waste of time to test them out, so he nodded in agreement.
As for the forbidden technique, he wasn't in a hurry to study it after obtaining it.
Studying forbidden techniques is not something that can be done overnight; it requires Shisui and undisturbed mind, free from external influences and distractions.
"Yay!" Might Guy's green figure leaped high into the air, filled with excitement.
Ebisu and Genma were both stunned.
She actually agreed.
It seems even simpler than Teacher Chōza's.
Whoosh--!
After a smile, Goenji vanished from their sight in an instant.
"I knew fools had good luck, and I was right." Ebisu looked at Might Guy with surprise.
Surprisingly, Might Guy actually sent a Jonin to guide them.
It's important to understand that under such wartime conditions, even Teacher Chōza didn't have time to teach them; they had to teach them while fighting.
Especially since Mr. Chōza is also the head of the Akimichi, he has to deal with Akimichi matters first when he returns to the village, so they don't have much time to spare.
Genma: "Perhaps Goenji also has his own ideas. There's no rush, so it won't waste his time. Based on our deductions, there must be something that needs our help, which is why he decided to guide us."
He wasn't making baseless assumptions about people; that's just how human nature is.
The Uchiha is notoriously difficult to talk to, but this person is so easy to talk to, and also of such high status. It's impossible to waste time on them.
Perhaps the other party intends to use them for something.
Providing guidance to them was just a side effect.
"Let's go get some barbecue. Tomorrow we'll prepare for Goenji's training."
Might Guy was filled with excitement.
I originally wanted to train with my dad, but now I can only schedule it later.
After all, opportunities to train with such powerful ninjas are rare.
It's not like my dad's Genin.
Although Kai thinks his father is a great man, it doesn't stop him from learning from others.
The Hokage Office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura were already waiting for him, but Goenji Danzo.
I guess they're out there on some mission.
Or stay in his Anbu and do something underhanded.
Fortunately, Danzo at the moment hasn't had time to target the Uchiha clan or cause any major trouble. His contributions to Konoha are also among the best in the war.
"Hmm, not bad spirit, as expected of someone from the Uchiha. Let's go, I'll take you to see the Scroll of Seals."
Utatane Koharu looked at Goenji and nodded in satisfaction.
This Uchiha really looks like Kagami back then, and his demeanor is also similar to Kagami's. If it weren't for the records and the difference in hair color, she would have thought that Goenji was Kagami's descendant.
Led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, the group traversed a long road, passed through a hidden chamber, and used Ninjutsu to open the gate sealed by the Barrier Ninjutsu.
A huge scroll appeared before Goenji.
"With such tight security, how did Naruto manage to steal it in the original story? It couldn't be that Mizuki broke through the defenses and allowed Naruto to steal it, could it?"
Some nonsensical ideas popped into Goenji's mind.
He knew this was impossible, but there must be a reason.
But it's okay, the future Naruto definitely won't be able to steal it, because the future has changed, and he will be the one in charge in the future, and he won't allow such a thing to happen.
Recalling when he came in, he felt many gazes, even senses, falling on him.
The security was indeed tight.
