Naruto: Who made him a ninja?

That is the technique invented by the Second Hokage and brought to prominence by the Fourth Hokage!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it the Hokage's technique; at least, no one besides the Hokage seems to have mastered it, right?

However, compared to Yugao's admiration, Shuuzou seemed much more modest.

But he had to admit one thing: he seemed to have underestimated the influence of the Flying Thunder God Technique in Konoha!

Hiruzen Sarutobi's utter astonishment and delight were understandable. After all, anyone who saw Shuuzou, so young, mastering such a difficult technique as the Flying Thunder God without any guidance...

…would be utterly astonished, and the significance of the Flying Thunder God to Konoha was indeed something to be delighted about.

However, from the end of the exam until now, it had only been half a day, but it seemed like he had suddenly become famous in Konoha.

Everywhere he went, it seemed like someone could recognize him and then start telling their companions or friends about Shuuzou's Flying Thunder God Technique.

This situation left Shuuzou feeling somewhat dumbfounded.

"Don't be so modest. This technique is very difficult. Even with someone teaching, it's not guaranteed you'll learn it."

Kakashi sat to the side, shrugging and laughing. His teacher had initially taught this technique to Genma Shiranui and the others.

But unfortunately, these people didn't seem to have the talent for it. Even with his teacher's hands-on instruction, they couldn't figure it out in the end.

However, soon his expression became serious, and he asked in a low voice.

"After you learned this technique, is there… any problem on the other side?"

"Don't worry, Shuuzou is an Anbu ninja now. We are all protected by Lord Hokage."

Tenzou immediately understood Kakashi's words and said with a smile.

However, Shuuzou almost couldn't hold back after hearing this. He needed to remember that the exam hadn't even finished when Ryoma Aburame had already come looking for him.

That bastard Danzou was very interested in Shuuzou mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique. Shuuzou decided to appease him first in order to inherit 'Danzou's inheritance'.

Fortunately, all of this wasn't particularly troublesome, because Danzou was always a 'confident' person.

Besides, he wasn't without benefits!

"Alright, let's not talk about this. Now is the time to celebrate."

Shaking his head, Shuuzou said with a smile, then he looked at Kakashi with a mischievous grin.

"Also, Kakashi-senpai, when I came over, I saw Gai-senpai looking for you."

"…"

At the thought of that guy Gai, Kakashi also felt a little scalp tingling.

"Gai is a very good guy, but sometimes he's too serious…"

"Gai-senpai is indeed not bad."

Yugao also nodded. Everyone was from the same graduating classes, so they basically knew each other.

"I actually think Gai-senpai is pursuing and practicing his dream."

Shuuzou tilted his head. He thought about it and said casually.

"I've heard some stories about Gai-senpai in the past. Speaking of which, I really admire him."

Shuuzou's words weren't just random talk. Gai's story was indeed inspiring and worthy of admiration.

Not to mention anything else, just the fact that he inherited his father's will and diligently trained his body for decades, honing it to the point where it could almost completely bear the power of the Eight Gates Formation...

…as a civilian ninja, he forced Uchiha Madara, who had already reached the Six Paths level, to say, 'When it comes to taijutsu, I am willing to call you the strongest!' You can imagine!

Although Shuuzou also worked hard, he had a clear understanding of himself because he was a cheat.

"Gai-senpai is indeed worthy of admiration."

Yugao said with great emotion after hearing this, and Kakashi's exposed eye turned into a crescent moon.

"Yes, he has always had his own clear dream and has always worked hard for it. He has always been a good guy."

Yes, so what about you?

Hearing these words, Shuuzou couldn't help but look at Kakashi.

Although Kakashi no longer had the coldness he once had, it was hard to say whether he was 'living for Obito'.

This kind of transformation, especially the way he would be in Team 7 in the future, really had Obito's shadow.

But it would be fine if Obito had died after all, because he was a hero, the person who saved your life.

But Obito just happened to be alive and well, and he even caused the Nine-Tailed Fox incident, and now he had even come to Konoha!

"Is he going to do something to Uchiha Itachi or Uchiha Shisui, or does he have other purposes?"

Although Obito was a 'fool', he also had considerable strength, which made his danger level somewhat high.

To be honest, Shuuzou didn't like Obito this guy.

As one of the biggest ingrates in Naruto, his outrageousness was actually no less than Uchiha Itachi's.

"Although I now have the Flying Thunder God Technique to deal with Kamui, the best thing to deal with this kind of Mangekyo Sharingan should still be Mangekyo Sharingan."

The abilities of the Mangekyo Sharingan are different, but at least they are on the same level.

And Shuuzou had always felt that the best choice to deal with this kind of space ability should actually be genjutsu!

Even if you hide in the Kamui space, you can't keep your eyes off the enemy, right?

With this premise, he couldn't help but think of that Uchiha who didn't know whether he existed or not, who had been buried in the ground for hundreds of years but was still outrageously alive!

Although Shisui was also an option, and Shuuzou could completely use him to increase the intensity for Obito.

But Obito had indeed inherited a lot of things from Uchiha Madara, and he also hoped to have someone who was completely biased towards him.

And his relationship with Shisui was currently only that of colleagues, and he was even here to monitor Shisui.

Therefore, Shuuzou would focus his main attention on that person.

Especially since he, who had played the game, knew how outrageous this person's abilities were!

But the key question now was whether this person existed, and if so, where exactly was she buried?

"This is really a hassle."

Shuuzou shook his head helplessly, while Yugao noticed the change in his emotions.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

Shuuzou immediately recovered, and he looked at Yugao seriously.

"I was just thinking about some things about senpai."

"Me?"

Yugao was a little flustered for a moment. She didn't know what Shuuzou meant, and Shuuzou said with a smile.

"Yes, I think senpai looks much better with her hair down than tied up."

"You brat, are you making fun of me? Also, how many times have I told you, just call me Yugao!"

The private room of the barbecue restaurant was filled with laughter, while at the same time within the Uchiha clan.

Uchiha Fugaku's expression looked somewhat ugly.

Chapter 43: Wavering Heart

"Danzou…"

Uchiha Fugaku's mood was particularly bad now, because he had heard some extremely bad news.

Originally, his son's crushing defeat had already made him somewhat dissatisfied.

It wasn't that he felt his good son could fight against the Flying Thunder God Technique.

As the clan leader, he certainly knew that in history, Uchiha Madara's younger brother, Uchiha Izuna, was killed by the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, using the Flying Thunder God Technique!

Moreover, Uchiha Izuna at that time also had the Mangekyo Sharingan.

How old was Itachi now? He was only ten, almost eleven years old. It was normal that he couldn't resist the Flying Thunder God.

He believed that his son would definitely not repeat the same mistake in the future.

Because in his opinion, the reason Uchiha Izuna lost wasn't because the Mangekyo Sharingan was not good, but because he was careless!

The Mangekyo Sharingan was one of the Uchiha's most powerful forces.

But now Uchiha Itachi had to face the Flying Thunder God and be directly defeated by the Flying Thunder God in front of everyone.

How could Uchiha Fugaku feel good about this?

"Even for a normal exam, there's no need to make things so difficult for Itachi, right?"

Uchiha Fugaku was in a bad mood, and when they returned home, Uchiha Itachi gave him another piece of news that made him dumbfounded!

As the proctor, that kid who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique actually asked Itachi a fatal question.

And this question instantly gave Uchiha Fugaku an answer.

That kid was doing it on purpose, and Konoha was also doing it on purpose. This was revenge!

"Itachi, I'll ask you one more time, are you sure he said that?"

Taking a deep breath, Uchiha Fugaku asked with incomparable solemnity.

"Yes, Father."

Uchiha Itachi sat honestly opposite Uchiha Fugaku, and he lowered his head slightly and repeated.

"He asked me if I still remembered the Root ninja I defeated before."

But soon he raised his head again and asked hesitantly.

"Father, what exactly is the Root organization?"

"Root…"

Uchiha Fugaku was a little conflicted. He didn't know whether to tell Itachi these things now.

After all, there were too many things involved!

But one thing was clear, and that was that Danzou had always been full of malice towards the Uchiha!

Uchiha Fugaku still couldn't forget that during the Nine-Tailed Fox Night incident, Danzou directly intervened and stopped them from going to reinforce.

Afterwards, it was Danzou who presided over the arrangement of ninja families after the Nine-Tailed Fox Night incident and drove them, the Uchiha, to this remote corner!

These things added up brought about a lot of subsequent problems.

For example, countless people were saying that the Uchiha were related to the Nine-Tailed Fox Night incident, otherwise why didn't they go to reinforce?

For example, why were they forced to move to this location, which had already caused great dissatisfaction within the clan and allowed those radical factions to begin to seize power.

Everything was Danzou's problem!

Thinking of this, Uchiha Fugaku's heart was really filled with anger.

But unfortunately, he had never thought about whether there was a problem with him in this.

"I can't answer this question for the time being, because there are too many things involved."

Uchiha Fugaku forced himself to calm down, and he said seriously to his good son.

"Maybe you will know in the future, but for you now, all of this is too early."

"Is that so? I understand, Father."

Uchiha Itachi nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He was already used to this kind of situation.
