"Flying Thunder God, Rasengan..." Shisui murmured to himself as if he was stunned.
As if he had finally waited for a chance to escape, Senju Chen nodded heavily, with a "relieved" expression on his face, and began his "confession" like a dumpling.
"Actually... I actually started learning from Brother Minato a long time ago. But he said that this technique is very difficult, and he asked me not to tell others before I learned it. When I used "Substitution Technique" to escape in combat, I actually used Flying Thunder God Technique to escape. I was just not very skilled at that time, so I could only leave quickly to save my life..."
His voice had the unique crispness of a child, as well as a hint of showoff and guilt.
"There is also the technique Rasengan, which was also developed by Brother Minato. I also learned it after practicing for a long time."
A perfect set of words.
Pushed everything to Minato Namikaze who was not present.
He not only explained the origin of S-class Ninjutsu, but also found a reasonable reason for his "departure". At the same time, he also "reasonable" these Ninjutsu through details such as "secretly learning" and "Minato is not allowed to be told".
This set of rhetoric is almost the only and acceptable answer to outsiders.
"So that's it..." Shisui breathed a long sigh of relief, and the huge stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Then, a strong admiration and yearning surged into his heart.
Because even if Senju Chen explained it like this, his "talent" is really too strong. That is S-level Ninjutsu. For ordinary people, let alone learning it, it would be troublesome just to "touch" it, not to mention that Senju Chen is only eight years old.
"You... are so amazing, Chen."
"Hey, Brother Minato is not allowed to say it." Senju Chen showed an innocent and harmless smile.
However, on the other side of the bonfire, Orochimaru looked at the young man who performed flawlessly in front of him, and in the depths of his narrow snake eyes, an unnoticed, cold amusement flashed across his eyes.
Does he believe what Senju Chen says?
No, he didn't believe a word of it.
He knows Minato Namikaze too well. Although that man is gentle, he will never show any favoritism on matters of principle. How important is Flying Thunder God Technique, a strategic-level Ninjutsu? There is no way he can pass it on to a child so easily or "secretly", even if the child is the younger brother of Tsunade and the blood of the Senju Clan.
If Senju Chen learned it secretly on his own, he absolutely believed it. Minato Namikaze would at most give him a little guidance. He knew his apprentice quite well and would never let go of anything beneficial.
But having said that, after all, Flying Thunder God is Ninjutsu of Second, and it can be regarded as their own thing. No one in the village can say anything after Senju Chen imitated it.
Previously, like Maruboshi Kosuke, he also discovered that Senju Chen secretly used this technique as a life-saving skill, but neither of them said it. After all, no one had a few life-saving cards at the bottom of the box.
However, he has now completely mastered it, and at this age, he can use Flying Thunder God Technique freely in battle. This is what makes Orochimaru unexpectedly shocked Kazuma. The "talent" of his disciple is indeed a bit too terrifying.
But he didn't expose it. Instead, he meant something and slowly said:
"So it's Mr. Minato... Haha, that's really amazing."
Shisui Uchiha glanced at the young man next to him who was still sipping Bingliang Pills, and for the first time in his mind, he placed the other person in a position that needed to be caught up or even surpassed.
It turns out that this is a real "genius". He can learn S-level Ninjutsu at the age of eight. He can instantly kill three Chunin and two Jonin as soon as he is promoted to Chunin. Is this the real reason why the patriarch keeps asking him to make good friends with each other?
Shisui was not jealous of Senju Chen, and Uchiha's pride did not allow him to be jealous of a companion who had saved his life. What surged into his heart was an even more fiery fighting spirit that almost ignited his blood.
Chen... have you come this far?
Then, I can never stop where I am.
Orochimaru slowly opened his eyes, and the golden snake pupils shone with an inexplicable luster under Kakkō. He looked at Senju Chen and said slowly, "Since it was taught by Mr. Minato, you must use it well and don't live up to his expectations. You did a good job on this mission."
Senju Chen knows that this is Orochimaru's conclusion for his own Ninjutsu, "It was all taught by Minato Namikaze."
Senju Chen immediately understood and nodded vigorously. "Yes! Teacher Orochimaru! I will definitely not disappoint you and Brother Minato's expectations."
"Okay, let's rest." Orochimaru waved his hand, "We will return after daybreak."
After arriving at the hiding place prepared for them by Hanzo of the Salamander.
Orochimaru left first. He needed to have a "friendly" meeting with Hanzō regarding follow-up plans. Shisui helped Maruboshi Kosuke, whose injury had stabilized, back to the room to rest.
Senju Chen told Orochimaru on the road that he was going to find "Ya" to learn about Land of Rain's current overall information. Orochimaru agreed and asked him to bring a mission scroll to Hatake Sakumo. Senju Chen took the scroll and left alone.
Skillfully walking through the shadows of the steel jungle, he made many twists and turns and came to an even more dilapidated abandoned pump house located at the bottom of the city.
Senju Chen pushed open an iron door that was ajar and walked in.
In the room, a figure was facing away from him. Hearing the movement behind him, the man stopped wiping and slowly turned around.
He still has the iconic silver hair, but the look of fatigue on his resolute face seems a bit heavier than the last time we met, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle.
"Uncle Sakumo." Senju Chen took off his cloak, revealing a clean little face.
Seeing that it was Senju Chen, the sharpness in Hatake Sakumo's eyes instantly dissipated and turned into a touch of softness. "Little Chen, how did you complete your mission?"
"The mission went well. I came here this time to understand the overall information of the current Land of Rain." Senju Chen said as he took out a small scroll from his arms and handed it over, "By the way, Uncle Sakumo, I met Kakashi before I came here."
The three words "Kakashi" were like a key, instantly opening the softest gate in Hatake Sakumo's heart. His movement to take the scroll was half a beat slow, and his eyes showed a trace of nervousness and expectation that even he himself had not noticed.
"How... how is he?"
"He has been doing very well recently." Senju Chen showed a bright smile on his face, "Kakashi is amazing. He has graduated from the Ninja Academy ahead of schedule and is already Genin. He became Minato Namikaze as his teacher. Now he is making rapid progress. Brother Minato is full of praise for him!"
Senju Chen vividly described the current situation of Kakashi, describing the usually cool boy who covered most of his face with a mask as a genius who worked hard to make progress.
Hatake Sakumo listened quietly, and the lines on his face softened unconsciously. When he heard that his son had grown up so well, a thin layer of water finally appeared in his weather-beaten eyes, and an emotion called "gratification" almost overflowed from under his hard shell.
He lowered his head and looked at his rough palms, his voice a little hoarse. "Really... That's good... That's good..."
Seeing his appearance, Senju Chen sighed inwardly. No matter how resounding his name was, "Konoha's White Fang" was still just a father who loved his son deeply.
"Uncle Sakumo, what about you, is there anything new happening with Land of Rain recently?" Senju Chen changed the topic in a timely manner.
