Worries and Pure Land Scam
Truly an exclusive clan.
Lin Ke recalled his visit to the Hyuga Clan Grounds that morning, and was slightly distracted.
Hyuga Hiashi had invited them over for a conversation that didn't involve much work. There wasn't much to discuss; it was said to be about welcoming the Land of Wind's delegation, but in reality, it was just a matter of greeting them outside Konoha Village, without going too far. The entire process was arranged by the Anbu, essentially just a formality.
After all, as the victor, the Kage had no reason to appear, but they couldn't let the delegation enter the village on their own. That's why the higher-ups nominated someone to greet them.
Hyuga Hiashi's invitation for them to enter the closed-off Hyuga Clan Grounds felt more like a simple attempt to foster goodwill, but all Lin Ke saw was exclusion and stagnation.
The Main Family held the power of life and death over the Branch Family, and many Byakugan techniques were exclusive to the Main Family. This control made the entire Hyuga Clan somewhat lifeless.
The Branch Family didn't even have control over their own lives, so they naturally focused on the Main Family...
*"Opportunity!"*
Uchiha Sasuke keenly seized the opportunity and decisively attacked—
"Pa!"
Lin Ke grabbed his wrist, snapped back to reality, looked at the slightly panting Sasuke, and smiled, "Just a little bit more."
Still a long way to go.
Uchiha Sasuke released his hand. He suddenly thought of Itachi. What would that guy do? He probably wouldn't be like him, unable to even touch Lin Ke in a fight.
He could see it, but the speed was too fast.
His Sharingan gradually disappeared into his black pupils, and he silently left to train.
Sasuke's progress has slowed down.
Lin Ke thought to himself. After learning the truth, he no longer had enough hatred to fuel his drive.
The Uchiha were truly strange. Whether it was awakening their Sharingan or growing stronger, it would happen rapidly under extreme emotions. Once the goal disappeared, the speed of improvement would slow down.
Uchiha Itachi had planned a smooth path for Sasuke: use hatred to grow stronger, kill the enemy and the Konoha Village's traitor to awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, return to Konoha as a hero, and replace the traitor's eyes to achieve the Eternal Mangekyō.
This way, no matter what kind of enemy he faced, he would have the power to fight, with strength, a position, and a future—a path that seemed bright.
But when the truth came out early, and his deceased father stood by his side, caught between the village, his brother, and his dead father, the hatred Sasuke spoke of was more like finding a goal to strive for in endless confusion.
Emotions that weren't extreme enough couldn't bear the burden of the Uchiha catalyst.
After the Uchiha awakened their Sharingan, they would have extremely high resistance to Genjutsu. After reaching the Three Tomoe, almost no Genjutsu could deceive them. It was almost impossible to provide emotions through falsehood to achieve awakening; only true, unadulterated pain would work.
As Uchiha Itachi's plan fell apart, Sasuke's express ticket to success naturally came to a halt.
But... maybe this was for the best.
Lin Ke watched the meat shield still sweating and didn't try to change anything.
To him, the Sasuke from the manga was certainly more powerful, but there were too many uncertainties. Only the Sasuke before him now was his meat shield.
And extreme emotions meant extreme pain. A twelve-year-old child shouldn't be pushed too hard.
Speaking of which, Kakashi seems to have dumped Haruno Sakura on Yuhi Kurenai and doesn't care much about Sasuke either. I wonder what he's been busy with.
Lin Ke thought, forming hand seals and using the Summoning Jutsu. Using Sasuke's identity, he started broadcasting in the Pure Land, beginning his daily training.
The combined development of Shadow Clone and Tailed Beast Chakra had reached a bottleneck last night. Like previous Ninjutsu development, it was a complete black box operation.
He didn't know the principle, just outputting Chakra and the technique, and getting a result. Because each release forcibly consumed two-thirds of his Chakra, the efficiency of creating independent shadows was actually not high.
Coupled with various tests and his slight concerns about the shadows, only five shadows were created in the end last night.
Under the constraints of the technique, Lin Ke could naturally trust the shadows without reservation. But when the shadows became independent, even if the control wasn't diminished in the slightest, he still felt something subtle in his heart.
The last creation to become a shadow in the Naruto World was the filial son Black Zetsu...
"Are you Sasuke?" After the fourth Summoning Jutsu, a somewhat doubtful female voice responded.
Lin Ke concentrated his mind and quickly recognized the other party's identity. Oh, he got a hit.
*Rashomon, come forth!*
He slammed his hand on the ground, and the sound of Rashomon appearing caught Uchiha Sasuke's attention. The gate opened, and Uchiha Fugaku was the first to run out—
This middle-aged man seemed to be expressing all the concern he hadn't been able to voice while alive, treating his son exceptionally well.
Next was Maki, another soul eager to return to the living world, especially after learning that the war had ended and Konoha and the Sand Ninja Village were entering peace talks. Whether it was Summoning Jutsu or Rashomon, he was ready to come whenever called.
The woman who had just been summoned quickly stepped out of the Rashomon, her features somewhat similar to Sasuke's, with long, straight black hair...
"Mom!" Uchiha Sasuke stood there dumbfounded until the woman saw the situation nearby and a relieved smile appeared on her face. The boy rushed over without a second thought, tears streaming down his face as he ran.
It was rare to see him act like this...
Lin Ke tactfully pulled Maki away, giving the family of three some time to catch up.
"How are the peace talks going?"
Maki immediately asked about the village's situation. After all, he didn't know what time it was in the Pure Land. In his mind, he had only been summoned once, and then the Konoha brat had been spamming the Pure Land with scam radio messages saying "I am Uchiha Sasuke." Then, sensing the Rashomon opening, he, concerned about the living world, had followed.
"The Land of Wind's delegation will arrive at the border tomorrow." Lin Ke was in a good mood and casually answered, then asked, "What will it take for you to teach me the Wind Blade?"
Although the name of this Ninjutsu didn't suggest any special mechanism, it was still an A-rank Ninjutsu that Konoha hadn't recorded. Whether he submitted it to the village in exchange for other Ninjutsu, or waited until he finished training in Wind Release to learn it and increase his Ninjutsu reserves, it would be good.
He had asked this guy several times using the Summoning Jutsu. He had to say, as expected of a staunch supporter willing to sacrifice his life for the village, he was as stubborn and unyielding as a rock in a latrine.
Maki remained unmoved, looking at him, and said, "I want to see the Fourth Kazekage."
"Can't do it." Lin Ke's answer was straightforward. He didn't even know where the Fourth Kazekage was being held, let alone wanting to get involved in high-level or even national-level political struggles.
Maki thought for a long time, then said, "If you can let me meet Temari..."
He paused, then continued, "I'll be willing to teach you the Wind Blade."
"Deal."
