After taking out the scroll, the Third Hokage infused chakra into it. A puff of smoke rose, and an enormous scroll appeared before Madara Uchiha.

"This contains the ninjutsu developed by successive Hokage since Konoha was founded. I've heard that you master every technique your father teaches you on the first try. After all these years, I imagine he has little left to teach you. You may learn any technique in this scroll that interests you, but you must not let anyone else know about this."

The Third Hokage solemnly placed the Ninjutsu Scroll in Madara Uchiha's hands. If not for his advanced age and the demands of his duties as Hokage, the old man who had trained the Sannin would have liked to teach Madara Uchiha himself. Of course, Madara Uchiha probably would not have wanted to be taught by him.

"Thank you, Lord Hokage."

Madara Uchiha had little interest in these supposedly Hokage-developed techniques, but learning some of the powerful ninjutsu within would certainly benefit Sasuke Uchiha and Naruto Uzumaki.

"I'm entrusting Konoha's future to you."

The Third Hokage patted Madara Uchiha's shoulder with evident trust. In his eyes, Madara Uchiha had already become the ideal successor.

Once the Third Hokage had left, Madara Uchiha opened the scroll he had given him. Madara quickly scanned all the ninjutsu listed on it, and the contents were much as he had expected.

As expected, the Third Hokage would not teach him a technique like Impure World Reincarnation.

The only technique in the entire scroll that caught Madara Uchiha's interest was the Flying Thunder God Technique, created by the Second Hokage.

To Madara Uchiha, Tobirama Senju was no good, but his achievements in creating ninjutsu did deserve recognition.

The Flying Thunder God Technique had been able to interfere with Madara Uchiha
