Chapter 158: Strong Condemnation
Chapter 158: Strong Condemnation
---
"Aren't you afraid this kid will be tricked by that bunch of toads?" Kakashi still said with some concern.
"The techniques he learns and the summoning beast partner he gets from Mount Myoboku are benefits for him that we cannot provide. As for the trickery of that bunch of toads from Mount Myoboku?" Uchiha Douhuan listened to Naruto in the bathroom making excited, strange noises while filling balloons with water, and a helpless smile appeared on his face. "Even if this child is truly tricked into foolishness, Mount Myoboku can't influence the village's future through him, can they?"
"Or are you planning to let this kid inherit the Fourth Hokage's political resources?" Uchiha Douhuan chuckled, shook his head, and then said.
Hearing this, Kakashi couldn't help but fall silent, then shook his head. He originally did have such plans. But Naruto had been living at his house for nearly a year now, and in this year, he had pretty much figured out Naruto's temperament. This child was really not suited for this kind of work. He hadn't inherited any of the Fourth Hokage's meticulous thinking; instead, he had completely inherited his master's wife's (Kushina's) carefree and straightforward personality.
With a personality like Naruto's, if he really developed in that direction, it's hard to say what would become of the village's future, but he himself would definitely be the one tortured.
Judging by the current situation, cultivating Naruto's son in the future seemed more reliable than forcing Naruto onto this path.
"These kids aren't like us; they have choices," Uchiha Douhuan also lamented at this point.
Soon, Naruto excitedly returned to the living room holding a pile of water-filled balloons. After Uchiha Douhuan packed all these water balloons into a sealing scroll, he, along with Naruto and Kakashi, took Naruto to the training ground.
Although Uchiha Douhuan hadn't systematically learned the Rasengan technique, Uchiha Douhuan had long since met the most basic chakra control requirements for learning it. Kakashi had also learned this ninjutsu long ago, but because his fighting style didn't quite match the technique, he rarely used it in actual combat.
After all, before Naruto made the Rasengan technique versatile and flashy, it was still developed by the Fourth Hokage to supplement his offensive power against highly defensive enemies. The advantage of the most basic Rasengan lay in its seal-less, instant activation, making it suitable as a finishing move for ninjas like the Fourth Hokage who had pushed their speed to a certain level.
As for Naruto's way of using it like a super move, ordinary people really couldn't withstand that kind of chakra consumption.
After arriving at the training ground, Kakashi first explained the principles of the Rasengan to Naruto, then picked up a water balloon and demonstrated bursting it using rotating chakra.
Seeing this, Naruto also excitedly picked up a water balloon and began to try.
Then, under the watch of Uchiha Douhuan and Kakashi, Naruto's face went from initially grinning to becoming grave, and finally, he held his breath until his face turned increasingly red. Unable to bear it any longer, he directly squeezed the balloon until it popped.
"Naruto, you're supposed to burst the balloon using chakra rotation, not by squeezing it with your hand," Kakashi reminded him.
"This ninjutsu is so hard!" Naruto said with a pained expression,甩了甩 (shuǎileshuǎi - shaking off) the water on his hands.
"Try a different method," Uchiha Douhuan reminded at this moment. "If you can't maintain the chakra rotation by yourself, try with three people first."
"Three people?" Naruto, after hearing Uchiha Douhuan's hint, had a sudden inspiration. "That's right! If one person can't do it, three people definitely can!"
"Shadow Clone Technique!" After Naruto formed the seals, with several 'poofs', two clones appeared. With the help of the clones, Naruto quickly completed the step of bursting the water balloon.
This scene left Kakashi dumbfounded; he hadn't even thought of such a clever shortcut.
"Teacher, what's the next step?" Naruto excitedly came before Uchiha Douhuan and asked.
"You should first manage to break the water balloon without clone assistance before talking about that," Uchiha Douhuan said. "I told you this method to let you remember the feeling, not for you to actually rely on this method to learn the technique. If you need a shortcut even for the first step, you won't be able to learn the technique later on."
"Alright," Naruto nodded. Just as he was about to pick up a water balloon, he suddenly froze on the spot.
After a moment, Naruto raised his head, looked at Uchiha Douhuan, and said with a blank expression, "Teacher, the big fox inside my stomach told me learning this is useless. He said it's better to become his disciple, and he'll teach me something even stronger."
"Ignore it. What does a fox know about ninjutsu?" Uchiha Douhuan said.
As Uchiha Douhuan's voice fell, the chakra in Naruto's body suddenly became disordered. The two clones beside him also vanished. It was clear the Nine-Tails was greatly annoyed by Uchiha Douhuan's words.
"What did that fellow say?" Uchiha Douhuan, after helping Naruto stabilize his chakra, asked nonchalantly.
"Uh... this..." From Naruto's hesitation, it wasn't hard to tell that the Nine-Tails' cursing was quite foul.
However, Uchiha Douhuan wasn't too concerned about this. It was just the powerless rage of an unlucky fellow. If it was truly as formidable as it claimed, would it have been caught by Senju Hashirama?
Besides, what the Nine-Tails spoke of was nothing more than the Tailed Beast Bomb. Apart from its great power, could it compare to the Rasengan in other aspects? The Rasengan was a technique that even aliens, after being beaten, would calm down to learn and then enjoy playing with in a comeback match. By that time, the Tailed Beast Bomb would have long since become obsolete.
While Uchiha Douhuan and Kakashi were teaching Naruto here, Iwata Sawaki, in the guest room of the Hokage Building, was extremely anxious, pacing back and forth in the small reception room.
"Elder Fugaku, any idea when Lord Hokage might be able to return?" After a while, Iwata Sawaki finally couldn't help asking.
"Mr. Iwata, please calm down a bit. Lord Hokage is really unavailable right now. This matter, after all, concerns the safety of our village's Jinchuriki and Tailed Beast. Please try to understand, Mr. Iwata," Uchiha Fugaku said expressionlessly.
"It was my discourtesy, apologies," Iwata Sawaki sighed, his heart burning with anxiety.
Konoha had already been so sincere. Not only did they send the current number three figure in the village, besides the Hokage and the Hokage Aide, to receive him, but they also truthfully informed him of the confidential matter regarding the Jinchuriki seal problem. This was more than enough to show him respect.
[Why, of all days, did it have to be today?] Iwata Sawaki was anxious inwardly but had to maintain his composure.
Twenty minutes later, an Anbu ninja rushed into the reception room.
"Captain Fugaku, urgent intelligence! Ten minutes ago, the Land of Earth's ninja army launched an attack on the Land of Waterfall's border! The Land of Waterfall's border troops have suffered heavy losses!"
"What?" Before Uchiha Fugaku could react to the intelligence, Iwata Sawaki had already dashed in front of the Anbu member, his widened eyes showing traces of blood.
"Mr. Iwata, please calm down," At this moment, Fugaku inconspicuously waved his hand to dismiss the Anbu member who came to report, then began to comfort the other.
But the current Iwata Sawaki was clearly in a panic. Fugaku's comforting words seemed to have little effect. At this moment, sitting obediently in this reception room was already the limit of Iwata Sawaki's composure.
"Mr. Iwata, I'm terribly sorry to have kept you waiting so long." About ten minutes later, Uchiha Douhuan, having finished teaching Naruto, finally arrived late. Upon entering the reception room and seeing Iwata Sawaki, he immediately spoke.
"Lord Hokage?" Hearing Uchiha Douhuan's voice, Iwata Sawaki abruptly looked up, his bloodshot eyes filled with hope, staring fixedly at Uchiha Douhuan. "Please, Konoha must help our Takigakure!"
"Mr. Iwata, why do you say such things? What exactly happened?" Uchiha Douhuan asked, feigning incomprehension.
"Lord Hokage, we just received intelligence that Iwagakure launched an attack on the Land of Waterfall's border twenty minutes ago," Uchiha Fugaku then timely interjected to explain.
"What?" Uchiha Douhuan said in shock. "That Onoki actually dared to directly launch a war?"
"Lord Hokage, please, Konoha, save our Land of Waterfall!" Iwata Sawaki said excitedly at this moment. This middle-aged man, who usually appeared gentle and refined, had now lost his former composure. He tightly gripped Uchiha Douhuan's hand. At this moment, Konoha and the Land of Fire were their Land of Waterfall's only hope.
"Mr. Iwata, rest assured, Konoha will definitely not stand by and watch this matter unfold," Uchiha Douhuan said, comforting Iwata Sawaki for a moment, then instructed Uchiha Fugaku, "Captain Fugaku, issue a statement to the ninja world: Konoha strongly condemns Iwagakure's behavior of disregarding the peace of the ninja world!"
