"The Sealed Book?" Hatake Akira's heart trembled.
"Yes, the Book of Seals." Namikaze Minato nodded, "Although it is only a copy of the Book of Seals, except for the time limit, the contents recorded in it are exactly the same as the real Book of Seals."
"That's great too." Hatake Akira was looking forward to it. "Can I have a share?"
"Yes, of course!" Namikaze Minato took out a copy of the Book of Sealed Ninjas and waved it in front of Hatake Akira. "You also know that I contributed the Wind Style Rasenshuriken. Because of your contribution to this technique, the Hokage has granted you special permission to choose a ninjutsu from the Book of Sealed Ninjas."
Well done!
Hatake Akira clenched his fists, roaring in his heart and almost jumping up with excitement.
The Book of Seals of Konoha is the essence of the collection of Konoha's ninjutsu. The Five-Layer Rashomon, Impure World Reincarnation, Multiplying Exploding Talisman, Eight Gates Ninjutsu, which became famous in the later period of Naruto world, as well as the Shikigami Fūjin and Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique shown in the early and middle stages, are all very foul ninjutsu.
Each of the above-listed ninjutsu is extremely powerful on its own, but the backlash they cause to the caster after use is also different.
Although it was difficult to measure the pros and cons, Hatake Akira quickly made a decision in his mind.
"Teacher, how many ninjutsu can I choose from the ones recorded in the Sealed Book?"
Although Hatake Akira had made a choice, he was still very clear-headed. He naturally knew that this reward would not allow Hatake Akira himself or Namikaze Minato to study as they pleased.
"One S-level, three A-level, and 10 below A-level."
Listening to Minato Namikaze's answer, Hatake Akira automatically ignored the number of ninjutsu that could be selected after the S-level ninjutsu.
The biggest difficulty in reaching S level is that ordinary people do not have enough talent as a foundation, and even if they know how to practice, they cannot achieve anything.
But with Hatake Akira's talent in ninjutsu, he would feel a little sorry for himself if he didn't choose S-level ninjutsu.
As for what to choose, Hatake Akira was naturally very keen on the S-level ninjutsu studied by the second-generation Hokage, Senju Tobirama - the Multiplying Exploding Talisman Technique.
The power of the Multiplying Explosive Talisman Technique was witnessed by all in the later period of Naruto. The fact that it blew up the Myojinmon and the body of the Ten-Tails was enough to illustrate the strength of this technique.
However, if we have to point out its shortcomings, it is that this technique is a complete waste of money, and its power also has an upper limit. It has no effect on the Truth-Seeking Jade derived from the Six Paths-level Yin-Yang escape technique.
But the last shortcoming of this jutsu is a common shortcoming of all ninjutsu in the ninja world at this stage, and it cannot actually be counted if it is to be counted.
However, before choosing the ninjutsu from the Sealed Book, Hatake Akira still had to consult with Namikaze Minato. After all, if the two of them discussed it, they could master two very powerful S-level ninjutsu at the fastest speed.
"Teacher, which jutsu from the Book of Sealings do you plan to choose?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. Besides, when I came into contact with the Book of Sealing before, it was only an excerpt, not a complete copy. I don't understand many of the techniques recorded in it."
Namikaze Minato scratched his head, then unsealed the seal on the rubbing of the Book of Seals, "Let's take a look first, and then make a decision for each other."
Hatake Akira nodded, sat on the ground next to Minato Namikaze, and tilted his head to watch Minato Namikaze slowly unfold the rubbing of the Book of Seals placed on his lap.
Chapter 89: Mutually Multiplied Explosive Talismans and Five-Layer Rashomon.
It has to be said that Hatake Akira had never fought such a prosperous battle!
Although he was born into the Hatake clan and his family had a large collection of books, although it was not as good as those of the Uchiha, Hyuga and other big clans, it was enough to enrich Hatake Akira's many theoretical knowledge.
The ancestors of the Hatake family were once prosperous. Even though they are in such a dilapidated state now, the foundation they have accumulated before is still quite good.
However, this little bit of the Hatake family's remaining heritage is nothing compared to what is recorded in the sealed book before them.
Hatake Akira actually saw the Uchiha clan's forbidden techniques in the sealed book: Izanagi and Izanami!
What's even more outrageous is that the Hyuga clan's signature ninjutsu, such as the Gentle Fist, Eight Trigrams Palm, and Kaiten, are also recorded in detail in the Book of Seales.
When I first saw it, Hatake Akira was really shocked. I felt that the Uchiha and Hyuga clans were so blinded by greed that they actually handed over their family's inherited skills.
But after thinking about it, Hatake Akira understood the reason.
Izanagi and Izanami of the Uchiha clan are just like decorations without the Sharingan. There is no difference between handing them over and not handing them over.
The same goes for the Hyuga clan. Without the Byakugan, the Hyuga clan's inherited skills recorded in the Sealed Book are like decorations. It makes no difference whether they see them or not.
However, the various secret techniques of the Uchiha and Hyuga clans recorded in the Sealed Book also solved a question that had been weighing on Hatake Akira's mind.
After the Uchiha clan was exterminated, Danzo obtained multiple pairs of Sharingan and should have obtained the Izanagi technique from the Book of Sealed.
But Hatake Akira did not have the same careful thoughts as Shimura Danzo. It was a very strange and repulsive feeling to transplant organs that did not belong to him into his own body.
After reading the rubbing of the Sealed Book from beginning to end, Hatake Akira had a deeper impression of the entire Sealed Book.
The ninjutsu included in the Sealed Book include not only the conventional Konoha-style ninjutsu and unconventional Konoha-style ninjutsu, but also some of the signature secret techniques of the Konoha-style ninja clans, big and small.
However, those secret ninjutsu passed down in the family were completely useless to Hatake Akira.
The reason why family-inherited ninjutsu is that, in addition to some necessary theories, the unknown secret training steps are the real core of the family-inherited ninjutsu.
It is obvious that the Konoha ninja families who contributed the secret techniques of each clan, like Minato Namikaze, kept some tricks up their sleeves while contributing the ninjutsu.
Moreover, the trick they kept was often the most crucial training method for this ninjutsu. Even if the successive Hokage of Konoha knew that they were hiding something, they could do nothing about it.
But this is still a breakthrough. As long as the talent in ninjutsu is high enough, it is possible to complete it by yourself or even use it as inspiration to embark on a new path.
The first possible representative of this type is Orochimaru.
Of course, Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato are not bad either. They are not inferior to Orochimaru in talent in ninjutsu. It’s just that they have obvious gaps with Orochimaru in some strange aspects.
This is what it means to specialize in a profession, you can’t force it…
But even though it cannot be forced, for Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato at this stage, this opportunity is obviously very strong and enough to support the two of them to reach a higher level of strength.
"Teacher, I choose the technique of multiplying the explosive talismans."
"An expected choice." Namikaze Minato smiled, showing an expression that everything was under control, and he also explained the S-level ninjutsu he wanted to learn.
"You chose an offensive S-rank ninjutsu, so I'll choose this one."
Namikaze Minato pointed to the front position of the rubbing of the Book of Seals. The S-level ninjutsu recorded there was naturally the Five-Layer Rashomon (Five-Layer Rashomon) that everyone was familiar with in later times.
There is no need to say much about the defensive nature of this technique. As long as the chakra is sufficient, then below the Six Paths level, this defensive ninjutsu of the nature of summoning can withstand 99% of ninjutsu attacks or Tailed Beast Ball attacks.
As for the remaining 1%, it naturally came from the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju. His fairy technique strengthened the power of Wood Release, which was sometimes really unreasonable.
But even so, the Five-Layer Rashomon Technique can definitely be regarded as the ultimate defense at this stage!
Hatake Akira understood very well Minato Namikaze's current plan. In terms of sneak attacks and instant kills, Minato Namikaze has the rogue Flying Thunder God Technique, and his means of attack include Rasengan and Rasenshuriken. He can be said to have become a thorough-going assassin who can stab and start a team fight.
If he adds the S-level defensive ninjutsu Five-Layer Rashomon chosen by Minato Namikaze, he will have another hard guarantee, greatly enriching the coverage and adaptability of Minato Namikaze's abilities.
This transformed Minato Namikaze from a team-opening offensive assassin into a true hexagonal supermodel warrior who could both carry and fight.
Although the Five-Layer Rashomon still has limitations, such as its fixed and inflexible position and the heavy burden on the body caused by excessive chakra consumption, but considering the pros and cons, there is no technique more suitable for Minato Namikaze than this one.
"Then teacher..." Hatake Akira didn't finish his words. He blinked and looked at Namikaze Minato eagerly. His meaning was very clear.
"The teacher got rid of you too."
Namikaze Minato nodded slightly and answered while looking at it.
In this way, the half-hidden deal between the master and the disciple was reached in an instant, and this back and forth was equivalent to each of them gaining two S-level ninjutsu, one for attack and one for defense.
……
Konoha office,
There is a crystal ball on the table, which looks like the scene of a witch fortune-telling.
Inside the transparent crystal ball, a picture was revealed at this moment. The scene inside was naturally that of Hatake Akira and Namikaze Minato, who were sitting cross-legged next to each other, awake.
"Haha, two sly guys!"
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen could not hear the conversation between the two through the "Telescope Technique", he could figure out everything just by looking at the picture and using his imagination.
And this was his original intention from the beginning. He wanted to strengthen the strength of Minato Namikaze and Akira Hatake.
His idea from the beginning was to let the master and the disciple look at the rubbing of the Sealed Book together.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen has a tendency to be a hypocrite, he is never stingy with those he considers "his own people". He is even so generous that it makes people feel like he is giving it for free.
To put it bluntly, all of this ultimately comes down to the book "Will of Fire" by Hatake Akira, which he had almost read to pieces and made detailed notes and reading notes.
Who among the brainwashed subordinates would despise the strength of the other party?
As for such a thing as being too successful to be a threat to the master, it almost does not exist in the world of Naruto, otherwise the person in power in the entire Fire Country should be the Hokage of Konoha Village, not the Daimyo of the Fire Country.
By the same token, although Danzo Shimura was a bit harsh in the training of his Root ninjas, he treated them like treasures after they became successful.
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo never hesitated to sacrifice when necessary, when such a last resort did not occur, they still hoped that their subordinates would be as strong as possible.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen's seemingly generous reward this time was actually a free gift.
If Hatake knew the whole story, he would definitely laugh happily.
Being able to write on paper is something a decent person can do?
No decent person would bother to tinker with some nonsense!
But Sarutobi Hiruzen just fell for it...
Chapter 90 Jiraiya returns to the village.
"Hatake Akira! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you here?!"
After memorizing all the relevant information about the Multiplying Explosive Talisman Technique, Hatake Akira still did not let Tsunade down and hurried back to Konoha Hospital in time.
But it was too late. The moment he entered Tsunade's office, he was roared at by Tsunade and witnessed the desk being punched in half.
"Lady Tsunade, some things have delayed us..."
Hatake Akira explained, feeling a little scared of Tsunade. When this woman was unreasonable, she was even more powerful than a tigress!
"Humph, I won't bother with you anymore."
Having a way out, Tsunade did not pursue the matter any further. After all, she was the one asking for help, and being too overbearing would likely have the opposite effect.
Moreover, Tsunade did not ask about the detailed reasons why Hatake Akira was late. There were many things that Tsunade just didn't want to think about or do, but this did not prevent her from acting subconsciously.
"Then, Lady Tsunade, let's hurry and get started."
Hatake Akira let out a long sigh, then raised his hand and shot out a purple-red chakra chain, which wrapped around Tsunade's slender waist that could be held in one hand.
Swallowing his saliva, Akira Hatake couldn't help but wonder, what did Tsunade eat to grow such a domineering figure?
……
"Ha, Konoha! The Toad Sage Jiraiya is back!"
A somewhat bold voice was heard from far away. Jiraiya, carrying a huge scroll on his back, stepped into the gate of Konoha. The two Konoha jonin guarding the gate bowed to Jiraiya excitedly.
