I Changed My Mind, Is That Not Allowed?

"Forbidden jutsu?!" Just as Hikaru had expected, the moment he stated his purpose—before he had even named the forbidden jutsu—the Third Hokage reacted strongly. His aged face immediately turned grave, his brows furrowing tightly.

"Yes, a forbidden jutsu."

Hikaru nodded, showing no intention of beating around the bush. "It's for Orochimaru, not for my own use. I have no interest in that stuff. The Uchiha Clan already has enough forbidden jutsu; there's no need to learn anyone else's, and I wouldn't have any use for it anyway."

"Orochimaru..." At first, the Third Hokage had thought Hikaru wanted to learn one himself. He frowned instinctively, his expression stern. He did not know which forbidden jutsu Hikaru wanted, nor what he intended to use it for.

And based on the Third Hokage's understanding of Hikaru, if Hikaru truly wanted to learn some forbidden jutsu, he would probably just take it directly instead of reporting it to him first. So it was for Orochimaru.

"Mm." Hikaru yawned. For some reason, he suddenly wanted to sleep. Rubbing his face, he said weakly, "He can't get it himself, and if he came to you, you probably wouldn't agree. So he came to me instead."

"Mm." The Third Hokage nodded as well. After thinking for a moment with a frown, he asked, "What forbidden jutsu does he need? What is it for?"

Hikaru shot the Third Hokage an exasperated look. "Hey, Third Elder, why are you asking such a weird question? Why don't you ask what men marry women for?"

"..." The Third Hokage was instantly choked speechless. He glared at Hikaru. "Brat, is that any way to put it? Can those two things even be compared? You're going to anger me to death."

Was what a forbidden jutsu was used for the same as why
