In a quiet, secluded room.
"Impure World Reincarnation?"
When Goenji proposed learning the Impure World Reincarnation technique, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others frowned.
This Ninjutsu is Ninjutsu that manipulates the dead, which is why Ninjutsu was sealed away by Hashirama Senju before Tobirama Senju perfected it. Goenji's request to learn it was completely unexpected.
They thought Goenji would choose Ninjutsu like Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, Flying Thunder God, or Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, but they didn't expect him to choose this Ninjutsu.
"You should think this through. This Ninjutsu isn't perfected yet, and it might not be very useful to you," Hiruzen Sarutobi cautioned.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura had the same look in their eyes.
As the highest-ranking members of Konoha, they knew information about many Ninjutsu in the Scroll of Seals. The Impure World Reincarnation, while theoretically very useful, wasn't actually very effective.
Otherwise, they would have been used for war long ago.
They are ninjas, not pedantic people.
"Yes, I'll take this one. It will be very useful for the Ninjutsu I'm developing next. It doesn't matter if it's imperfect, as long as it's useful to me."
Goenji nodded firmly.
He wanted to take the Scroll of Seals home and study it little by little.
He was very envious of things like Flying Thunder God Technique and Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.
The principles of Ninjutsu involved were very useful to him, as they could inspire him to develop Ninjutsu that was more suitable for him.
But he knew it was impossible.
No one would allow anyone to learn so many Ninjutsu.
Unless he's Orochimaru or Hiruzen Sarutobi.
As for why he chose the Impure World Reincarnation, he had given it some thought.
First, witnessing the scenes of war makes one realize how insignificant an individual is in the face of war, even if they fight to the very last moment.
But what happens after the war? Can you still manage the battlefield and intervene in every situation on your own?
Of course not.
That's just like Zhuge Kongming, who devoted himself to the cause until his dying breath!
Therefore, he wants to provide support.
Besides developing connections in Konoha, other assistance is needed to prevent unexpected events from happening, such as ruling the world without anyone governing it.
It's meant to nip things in the bud, but there's no other way.
He's not short of time.
At worst, after I become Hokage, I can use the other Ninjutsu from the Scroll of Seals to develop new Ninjutsu.
Alternatively, you can directly use the Ninjutsu mentioned above.
He has a strong talent for Fire Release, and his other talents are also quite good.
"Since you've made up your mind, we won't try to persuade you anymore." Hiruzen Sarutobi saw that he had made up his mind and knew that this genius had his own reasons.
He used Ninjutsu to unlock the Impure World Reincarnation portion of the Scroll of Seals.
Goenji stepped forward and quickly memorized the Impure World Reincarnation using his Sharingan.
Shorthand, Goenji has already trained in this area.
This is a reading technique that allows you to quickly jot down the information you need in your mind and then rapidly reinforce your impression, thereby achieving the goal of short-term memorization.
Having a sharp mind, coupled with useful skills, makes the mind even more effective and easier to use.
Afternoon.
Goenji has returned to the Uchiha Clan Grounds from the Hokage's side.
However, he did not rush to study the Impure World Reincarnation.
After confirming that he wouldn't forget, he went to Itachi Uchiha's house.
Mikoto Uchiha had invited him to her house for dinner earlier today.
"You're here. Chat with Itachi, I'll have dinner ready soon." Mikoto Uchiha smiled at Goenji, holding a spatula in her hand.
Itachi sat on the tatami mat, deep in thought while reading a book. Hearing his mother's words, he looked up, saw Goenji, and smiled broadly, "Goenji- sensei."
"How's it going? Have you been studying hard? Is there anything you don't understand?" Goenji asked Itachi with a smile as he sat opposite him.
His eyes fell on Itachi's book, and when he realized it was one he had written, he was even happier. It seemed Itachi had indeed studied it carefully.
You have to admire how many geniuses there are in this world.
For someone so young to be so thoughtful is truly remarkable.
Itachi Uchiha: "Hmm, there are some things I don't understand. For example, what basic elements need to be added to the formula for this forbidden Fire Release technique in order to incorporate it into a regular Fire Release and increase its power..."
He rattled off a series of 'difficult questions'.
In fact, these are some common techniques from the Fire Release: Fire Goenji.
"It's like this, based on the leverage effect I told you about before..." Goenji explained it to him step by step.
It's been a long time since I've been here; I didn't expect you to have understood this much.
Keep in mind that Itachi Uchiha hasn't even started refining Chakra yet, and doesn't even know how to conduct experiments. Yet his understanding of these formulas has already reached this level. He truly is a genius.
However, these problems were easily solved by Goenji, and he quickly resolved Itachi Uchiha's issue.
As Itachi Uchiha listened, his eyes grew brighter and brighter, and he admired his teacher, Goenji, more and more.
He has been studying very hard these past few months.
It wasn't just about studying the books given to him by Goenji; it was also about learning other things to supplement his studies after encountering some difficulties.
Therefore, he knew just how powerful Goenji was.
"Alright, time to eat."
Just then, Mikoto Uchiha brought out the meals one by one.
Goenji sat on the tatami mat, not in a hurry to eat.
Instead, they waited until Mikoto Uchiha finished her work before taking action.
"Mmm, Aunt Mikoto's cooking is much better than mine. It seems my cooking skills still need improvement!" Goenji said, chewing his food.
Itachi Uchiha laughed and said, "That's right, my mom's cooking is delicious."
"Haha, then you guys should learn to cook too, especially Goenji. You're not young anymore, you can get married in a couple of years. If you learn to cook, it'll be easier to pick up girls."
Mikoto Uchiha covered her mouth and smiled when she heard the praise.
"Haha, no rush, I haven't met that special someone yet. But you're right, I really should learn some cooking skills; I have a real talent for it."
Goenji laughed.
Cooking is definitely not his forte, because he has always believed that as long as the food is edible, it's fine.
However, what he prefers is this everyday family atmosphere; that's the feeling he wants.
However, all of this will have to wait until all the wars are over.
He's here now simply to experience this atmosphere and relax a bit.
Studying and researching can certainly be a way to relax, but ultimately it involves using your brain, which is a different kind of rest.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be here right now; he would be researching new Impure World Reincarnation, figuring out how to combine them with Fire Release to develop his own unique Ninjutsu.
[Cough! She ignored me today too, so I went to fawn over some other girls, losing ten yuan of my "simp fund" (the money from reader donations, which is my simp fund).]
