Transaction and Compensation
"The highest level ones are only the A-rank Sealing Jutsu Lion's Roar Seal and Puppet Performance: Living Corpse Skill?"
Lin Ke looked at the Ninjutsu Scroll in his hand.
The Lion's Roar Seal was quite famous, capable of completely sealing Chakra. It was a super powerful Sealing Jutsu, but its drawback was that the target had to enter the Jutsu's formation.
Sealing Chakra sounded strong, but the biggest problem with this Jutsu was that it couldn't be miniaturized. The formation couldn't be simplified to the point where it could be formed with Chakra. It had to be drawn in advance, which meant it lacked the convenience of the Four Symbols Seal and Five Elements Sealing, which could be triggered with a simple press.
To ensure flexibility, it was developed to draw the formation on special ninja tools that could be thrown to activate it, completing the Seal upon hitting the target.
The difficulty in hitting the target and the lack of portability of this Sealing Jutsu meant that it was only suitable for specific situations.
And the biggest problem was that Sand Ninja Village only provided the Jutsu and wouldn't give away the special ninja tool 'Lion-Headed Kannon' needed to throw the Lion's Roar Seal for free.
To be honest, even if they gave away a Lion-Headed Kannon, it would be difficult to make one in a short time. They didn't have the related ninja tool manufacturing technology, and reverse-engineering the manufacturing method would be too difficult.
In fact, very few people in Sand Ninja Village knew how to make it, let alone apply it in actual combat.
Overall, the Lion's Roar Seal was very strong in terms of effect, and it could be used in some situations, so it could be listed as an option.
Lin Ke eliminated Puppet Performance: Living Corpse Skill with just one glance. This Jutsu was a genuine super-advanced technique for Puppet Masters, using puppet strings to control living people. Only Chiyo and Sasori had used it in the entire series, and it was used to compensate for the sharp decline in combat power after Puppet Masters lost their puppets. It was meaningless to ordinary ninjas.
Unless one was determined to learn Puppet Technique from scratch, learning this was not as good as asking for two more Wind Release.
There were many B-rank Ninjutsu, mostly related to Puppet Technique, which were also directly eliminated. Like the Lion-Headed Kannon, there was no supporting technology. The manufacture, repair, and maintenance of puppets would require a lot of time to develop, absorb, and find suitable talents.
If Puppet Technique could be sold, Sand Ninja Village would have gone crazy selling it. It would be best if everyone played with puppets and spent money to buy ninja tools and puppets from them.
There really aren't many Ninjutsu that seem useful.
Lin Ke couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Sand Ninja Village was too poor, poor in every sense of the word. How could a village that needed its Kage to develop Ninjutsu for sale have many high-level secret techniques?
He originally wanted the Forbidden Technique Self Reincarnation, but they didn't provide it. Did Ebizo not know about it, or did he not want to give it?
The effect of Self Reincarnation as a Forbidden Technique was quite a BUG, able to revive a person out of thin air. He didn't want to learn it himself, but wanted someone else to learn it, in case it could save his life one day.
"Wind Release: Net and Wind Release: Great Net, Wind Release: Air Current Dance, Sealing Jutsu: Lion's Roar Seal, and..."
Lin Ke rattled off four Jutsu in a row. Although he didn't know why Maki had to meet with the people from Sand Ninja Village, it didn't stop him from asking for a few more in one go.
"Wait a minute."
Ebizo felt that if he didn't speak, the other party might recite all the Jutsu on the Scroll except for Puppet Technique.
It was like reciting a menu.
The Third Hokage couldn't help but laugh. It reminded him of the little Chunin who had just been promoted and ran to the Hokage Office to submit a Ninjutsu learning application.
Applying for more than seventy Ninjutsu at once, what was this kid thinking?
"One Ninjutsu per meeting," Ebizo emphasized.
He still didn't understand why Maki had sent the message [Must meet no matter what], but if the cost was too high, he really had to consider it.
Buying the Third Kazekage's Human Puppet was unavoidable. No village could allow the corpse of a Kage to remain outside. The 'Sasori' puppet was Chiyo's request.
He would decide on the extra matters. He wasn't in a high position in the village anymore. Now that he had retired, wasting too many of the village's resources would definitely cause trouble.
"No, I want all four Ninjutsu I just mentioned." Lin Ke didn't want to budge. He felt that something was wrong. "If you're missing one, you can forget about seeing Maki."
"..."
Ebizo was silent for a while. The expression that hadn't changed even after arguing with the Third Hokage for a long time showed a helpless look for the first time. He sighed, "Deal."
He was willing to gamble once. He had watched Maki grow up, and that child had never been the type to get easily alarmed.
However, the one who made him change his mind at this moment was not someone else, but the Third Hokage, who had absolute trust in Lin Ke.
Allowing the village's high-level combat power to wander outside the village, letting the Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki leave, and opening Forbidden Techniques to young juniors all required a considerable amount of courage.
Trust, what a luxury...
Ebizo took out the Ninjutsu Scroll and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. "Half an hour, he will disappear after half an hour."
Lin Ke pointed to Maki's soul, which had just been pulled out by the Summoning Jutsu. If Summoning Jutsu could solve it, he didn't need to waste Rashomon's Chakra.
Anyway, it was considered a meeting.
Ebizo and Maki exchanged glances, then left on their own.
"This transaction..." The Third Hokage sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, smiling with a rather good mood, and said, "Little Lin Ke, is there anything you want?"
Money, Ninjutsu, support, or other special requests.
He didn't specify what he would give, meaning that as long as you ask, he would consider satisfying you.
Konoha is much richer than Sand Village.
Lin Ke estimated that if he really asked, he should be able to get a considerable sum of money, but at this moment, how could money be more important than techniques? He paused slightly and asked, "Third Hokage, you should know that my techniques all have certain anomalies, right?"
The Third Hokage nodded, considering it a well-known secret.
Ninjas aren't idiots. When one person makes the same seals and learns the same Ninjutsu, the effects are vastly different. After eliminating all impossibilities, the remaining option, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth.
Lin Ke asked softly, "I would like to ask about the technique Orochimaru used during the Chunin Exams to summon the First Hokage and Second Hokage."
This is an opportunity. Forbidden Techniques are also different. The Eight Gates Formation, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, and Twin Snakes Mutual Death are relatively easy to learn. After all, they have thresholds, and their abuse doesn't affect much.
Techniques like Impure World Reincarnation and Reaper Death Seal are terrifying when abused.
Just imagine a random, gifted person using the Reaper Death Seal to launch a sneak attack. If your soul is caught, you're done for. Impure World Reincarnation is even more disgusting; see the Fourth Shinobi World War in the Naruto manga for details.
"That technique?" The Third Hokage wasn't surprised; he had long known that the technique would attract attention.
"Impure World Reincarnation, that is a Forbidden Technique developed by the Second Hokage. It uses living people as sacrifices to summon the dead to fight, which is somewhat similar to your technique."
He didn't hide or refuse, but simply said, "If you want to learn it, come to my house after returning to the village."
Some techniques may not be used, but to become a Hokage, one must learn them. Even if you don't release them yourself, you must know how to stop the enemy from releasing them.
