The setting sun bathed the streets of Konoha in an orange-red hue. Steam rose from the teahouse, carrying the aroma of tea leaves, filling the Konoha Inner Village villagers who had just finished their day's work. Sake jugs clattered on the wooden tables, and various pastries and barbecues were readily available. The topic of the day, unsurprisingly, was the newly appointed Hokage and Hokage five secretaries.
The storyteller on stage is recounting the latest news from Konoha, the Mirai successor of Konoha, and the secretaries of the five Hokage.
First, Princess Tsunade, the granddaughter of the First Hokage. Hashirama Senju grandmother was Mito Uzumaki, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Corps, her father was Akira Senju, the Minister of Department of Agriculture, and her mother was a princess of the Land of Fire Princess Tsunade, and she also became an apprentice of Tian Yueqing, the principal of the Kage Academy, and is proficient in Sealing Jutsu and Medical Ninjutsu.
After graduating from the Kage Academy, she independently developed many Medical Ninjutsu. In just two years, her medical skills became unparalleled in the entire Hidden Konoha Super Strength of a Hundred Technique is an SS-rank super-powerful Ninjutsu, which can be described as an invincible immortality.
" Princess Tsunade is the most noble person born in Konoha!" A man from the Yamanaka Clan slammed his hand on the table below the stage, spilling a few drops of wine. "My grandfather was the First Hokage, my grandmother was the commander of the Vermilion Bird Corps, my father was the Minister of Department of Agriculture, Akira Senju, and even my mother is the princess of the Land of Fire! Last time my daughter was sick and they had a critical condition notice. The hospital said her organs were infected and necrotic and they couldn't do anything about it. Just then, Lady Tsunade, who had just graduated and was working at the Konoha Hospital, happened to pass by and cured her. Her hands are comparable to those of a god! She made the necrotic organs grow back. Many terminally ill patients have been cured by her."
The old woman from the Uchiha Clan at the next table exclaimed with admiration, "I heard she created the Super Strength of a Hundred Technique when she was at the Kage Academy Kage Academy! During her graduation exam, someone ambushed her and stabbed her seven or eight times, but she simply activated the Strength of a Hundred Technique and healed herself completely, still able to chase after the attacker and fight back, without even shedding a drop of blood!"
The storyteller continued: According to investigations, when she activates the Super Strength of a Hundred Technique, the Cursed Seal will spread throughout her entire body. The moment she is injured, her body cells will begin to regenerate and heal continuously and rapidly at a high speed. According to unreliable sources, when she activates the Super Strength of a Hundred Technique in conjunction with the forbidden Taijutsu of the Eight Gates Released Formation, the Eighth Gate of the Gate of Death, she will not suffer any damage and can use the Gate of Death state without restriction. She is unstoppable and invincible in the Kage Academy.
During battle, she had no need to worry about getting injured, because she possessed a rune-enhanced battle suit personally made for her by the Third Hokage Lord Tsubasa, Lord Tenyi. Wearing it was like having an invincible defensive cheat code; no one could harm her. With the Strength of a Hundred Technique and various forbidden Taijutsu of the Senju Clan, she possessed Peak Immortal Level strength, making her the strongest graduate of the Kage Academy. In the entire Konoha, she belonged to the strongest tier. She was truly a pampered and beloved daughter of heaven.
"My daughter imitates her Tenten, taking her as her role model!" The Uchiha Clan elder sighed, "In the end, she wants to give up the clan's Ninjutsu to learn her Super Strength Fist. It's driving me crazy. Princess Tsunade is of the Senju Clan bloodline, born with Sage Body. When she unleashes her Super Strength Fist, she can flatten a mountain with one punch. She also wears the rune-enhanced battle suit specially made by the Third Hokage. I heard that battle suit can even withstand Tailed Beast Bomb!"
In a corner, a few young ninjas whispered among themselves, "Do you think if Princess Hokage became Princess Tsunade, medical care would be free?" Amidst laughter, someone chimed in, "Dream on! But with her around, our lives on the battlefield would be guaranteed. I've heard that as long as someone isn't dead, they can be brought back to life!"
The storyteller said, "The second one Orochimaru. It is said that he was born into a branch of the Senju Clan, and both his parents were heroes who sacrificed their lives during the First Battle of Konoha. He has a delicate and handsome appearance, and his eyes always reveal mystery and ruthlessness. When he graduated from the Kage Academy, he was already proficient in various Ninjutsu of Konoha. After graduation, he became a disciple of the current Iwagakure's Tian Uguisu, and signed Summoning Contract with Ryūchi Cave. At the same time, he became the vice-minister of Konoha's Scientific Research Department due to his excellent research ability."
When Orochimaru was mentioned, the tone of the crowd became more respectful. "That guy looks creepy; there's always a sinister aura about him," a ninja from the Hayate Clan chimed in. "When he graduated, he became a disciple of Lady Tian Uguisu and signed Summoning Contract with Ryūchi Cave!"
The storyteller continued, "Orochi's most terrifying achievement was developing the Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique, said to be an SSS-rank Ninjutsu, terrifying beyond measure. This Ninjutsu allows one to live forever. He integrated his soul and Chakra into his blood, and with just a drop of blood transplanted, he could clone a body, achieving infinite rebirth of the soul. The soul could also be transferred to his cloned body at any time, thus gaining a new life. He truly achieved humanity's ultimate goal of immortality."
Furthermore, the Living Corpse Reincarnation Ninjutsu has brought his strength to an incredibly terrifying level. As long as someone is bitten and has Cursed Seal planted on them but does not die, he can steal and devour their soul to strengthen his own, thereby compensating for the damage to his soul during soul transfer and possession.
After Orochimaru became a disciple of Ryūchi Cave, he cloned a Eight-Headed Orochi using his own flesh and blood combined with the flesh and blood of the legendary White Snake Sage as his exclusive summoning beast. This summoning beast possessed Orochimaru's wisdom and the terrifying strength of the Eight-Headed Orochi. According to a classmate from the Kage Academy, it could fight against Sage Level powerhouses.
" Lord Orochimaru's Living Corpse Reincarnation Technique is truly miraculous, granting immortality!" The Phoenix Clan ninja with a scarred face took a swig of wine, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I've heard countless ninjas want to become his apprentices to learn this SSS-rank Ninjutsu. But everyone who tries is rejected. His cloning technology and soul transfer Ninjutsu have actually achieved immortality, but currently this technique still has drawbacks: it damages the soul, and a clone can only live for three years. I really hope he can overcome these two problems soon."
Another ninja shuddered and said, "If immortality could be achieved, wouldn't the ninjas of Konoha be like the gods and monsters in mythology? I really can't wait!"
The storyteller on stage continued, "The third one, Lord Jiraiya, was also born into a branch of the Senju Clan. He has a white, spiky hairstyle and distinctive markings on his face. He always has a smile on his face and looks very approachable. It is said that he is the only person in recent years from the Kage Academy to possess the talent for Immortal Cultivation. Therefore, he was fortunate enough to become a disciple of Tian Mai of Mount Myōboku and learn the Sage Senjutsu passed down by the Third Hokage. He is a true Immortal Cultivation, and his strength is at the Sage Level. He is the Mount Myōboku Limitless Sect."
"If we're talking about beings comparable to gods, we have to mention Lord Jiraiya!" The teahouse owner interjected while wiping his cups. "He was the founding disciple of the Mount Myōboku Limitless Sect, a true Sage, and the only place where the Third Hokage's Senjutsu was passed down."
The storyteller on stage continued: Jiraiya developed some strange and unusual Ninjutsu, such as hair-type Ninjutsu, the Wild Lion's Mane Technique, Sage Art: Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon, and practical Ninjutsu like the Fire Sealing Method: Flame Seal, Hiding in a Toad Technique, Toad Mouth Bind, and Fire Release: Toad Oil Flame Bullet. He was proficient in earth, water, and fire elemental Ninjutsu. It is said that he created the S-rank Ninjutsu Sage Art: Sage Art: Goemon, whose power is extremely terrifying. Not only is its killing range extremely large, but its temperature reaches the surface temperature of the sun. Wherever it hits, it turns the land into scorched earth, and plants and animals are directly vaporized. It is truly the most terrifying of Ninjutsu.
His secondary profession is Sealing Jutsu, and his Sealing Jutsu are extremely powerful, earning him the position of vice-minister in the Rune Sealing Department. He is multi-talented, and his novels are widely circulated in Konoha. Apart from being lewd and lecherous, he is almost a perfect ninja.
A female ninja said, "Jiraiya is quite the lecher. Jiraiya likes to peep at women bathing, and he even calls it gathering material for his book. My son reads his book, ' Icha Icha Paradise,' Tenten, saying he wants to learn the 'girl-chasing Ninjutsu ' from it! He's not a proper ninja at all."
The crowd below burst into laughter... In the past two years, "Icha Icha Paradise and the Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Shinobi" has become somewhat famous in Konoha.
An old Uchiha Clan ninja shook his head and chuckled, "Don't underestimate this lecherous little Sage. His Sage Art: Sage Art: Goemon is truly terrifying. In terms of Fire Style, our Uchiha Clan has never been inferior to anyone, but Jiraiya is definitely one of them. According to the disciples of the Kage Academy in my clan, Orochimaru lost to this move during the Kage Academy Tournament. If it weren't for his Fire Sealing Method: Flame Seal, that area would have been destroyed long ago!"
"I heard his hair can be used as rope?" A young Sarutobi Clan ninja blinked. "Hair can turn into Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon? What kind of Ninjutsu is that?!"
"You're an amateur!" The powerful Sarutobi Clan ninja next to him tapped him on the head. "Rumor has it that his Wild Lion's Mane Technique can bind ten ferocious beasts without a problem, Sage Art: Hair Needle Senbon is specifically designed to Sharingan and Byakugan! He's incredibly powerful."
The storyteller on stage continued, "The fourth one Hiruko, from a branch of the Senju Clan. He is a genius who graduated from the Kage Academy. His Chimera Technique is rated as a terrifying SS-rank Ninjutsu. This Ninjutsu allows him to absorb and fuse the Kekkei Genkai of others. Over the years, he has fused Steel Release, Swift Release, Dark Release, as well as the Sharingan and Sage Body. The greatest value of this Ninjutsu is that it can turn ordinary people into people with Kekkei Genkai."
His strength is at the Peak Super Kage Level. Among all the ninjas who graduated from the Kage Academy, he ranks among the top ten in strength. What's even more terrifying is that his scientific research talent is also extremely strong. Like Orochimaru, he is the vice-minister of the Konoha's Scientific Research Department.
The tavern fell silent for a moment when Hiruko. " The Senju Clan's unconventional genius," the scarred ninja said in a low voice, " Chimera Technique is terrifying! Steel Release, Swift Release, he can even absorb Sharingan! It's said that during a mission, he absorbed a ninja's Dark Release in front of everyone, and the scene was..." He made an explosion gesture, and everyone gasped.
"But he is indeed a ninja who protects the village," a Asuka Clan elder said softly. "And his Ninjutsu is the quickest path for us ordinary people to become Kekkei Genkai ninjas."
The storyteller on stage continued, "Fifth, Hiyori Hyuga. Born into the Hyuga Clan, his terrifying talent caught the eye of Tian Muyan of the Moon Goddess Palace, who helped him awaken the legendary Tenseigan. He lived up to expectations, developing the Super Gentle Fist Technique at the Kage Academy, bringing the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist to its pinnacle—a super S-rank Ninjutsu. He can precisely control Chakra, attacking the meridians and pressure points of enemies at long range, causing their Chakra to become disordered, resulting in pain or death. Often, his enemies haven't even seen him before being struck by his Super Gentle Fist, dying without even knowing how."
" Hiyori Hyuga is the super genius of our clan, and the next head of the clan!" a Hyuga Clan said proudly. "He was chosen by Lady Tian Muyan to awaken the legendary Tenseigan, and his strength is at the High Immortal Level!"
"That Super Gentle Fist was absolutely amazing!" a young Hyuga ninja exclaimed excitedly. "Three months ago, during a mission to search for Moryo in the Land of Demons, I personally witnessed Lord Hiyori Hyuga blasting hundreds of stone golems apart with Chakra Threads from Sanjo away! The stone golems didn't even have time to react!"
A girl from the Akimichi Clan cupped her cheeks and said, "And he's such a nice guy! Last time my little brother was being naughty and fell into the water, he used his Gentle Fist Technique to gently lift him up from a distance. He's super handsome, super gentle, and super reliable."
