Heh, I Know It!
"You want to kill Danzo, right?"
After closing the door and being alone, Senju Tobirama spoke such words.
Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a moment, meeting the legendary Second Hokage's gaze without the slightest fear, his voice cold as he said, "That's right."
What he cared about were the companions who were good to him. Although he had some attachment to Konoha Village, it was to the village itself, not to the Second Hokage who had inexplicably appeared.
Among the entire higher-ups, the only one he had any good feelings for was the Third Hokage.
"Have you thought about what killing Danzo means?" Senju Tobirama wasn't angry. The last one who shouted about killing a comrade in the village in front of him was a few Uchiha who were trying to rebel.
How should he put it, he was used to it.
It means...
Uchiha Sasuke didn't answer.
Senju Tobirama understood in his heart that if it were just one person, the brat in front of him would have already said it directly.
So, were there others willing to accompany him?
"Is it Haruno Sakura, or Lin Ke?"
Hearing these words, Uchiha Sasuke stared intently at the semi-transparent Senju Tobirama with his Sharingan.
Conversations between intelligent people didn't need to be too detailed. He quickly realized that his response was problematic. It was too difficult for him, not even fourteen years old, to hide his thoughts from an old ghost in his fifties.
"Have you thought about what they would have to give up to leave the village with you?"
Senju Tobirama's tone softened slightly, "Severing other bonds, giving up their bright future in the village, choosing to become a missing-nin, to..."
"Enough." Uchiha Sasuke interrupted the old guy's words, but couldn't think of any words to refute him.
[As expected, it's a Mangekyo...]
Senju Tobirama looked on calmly, saying, "So, is that what you want?"
"After leaving the village, what kind of person do you want to become?"
Uchiha Sasuke blankly looked away.
Itachi hoped that he could become stronger and become a hero of the village—the communication of Chakra couldn't be faked.
His father hoped that he could live well and revitalize the Uchiha—his already deceased father never lied to him.
Besides hatred, what did he want to become? The reason he thought of these things was because the hatred that supported him was constantly weakening. His parents were often by his side, and not long ago, other Uchiha were also summoned back to the present world. Itachi's feelings and thoughts at the time of his death made him have to think more.
In the Second Hokage's question, he experienced the feelings of most ninjas. In missions, it was enough to do his job as a ninja. Outside of being a ninja, what exactly was 'I'?
[A ninja?] Uchiha Sasuke thought of what Lin Ke had once said, pondering in his heart.
"If you think it over, you can talk to me before you take action." Senju Tobirama was a little puzzled by what the brat in front of him was thinking, and said, "Go out and let Lin Ke come in." — "The Second Hokage wants you to go in."
Uchiha Sasuke's expression seemed to be thinking about something important. Lin Ke nodded, not thinking too much, and brushed past him into the office.
Hatake Kakashi, who had been waiting for a while, stepped forward and said, "Sasuke..."
"Sorry, Kakashi." Uchiha Sasuke left directly, he had many things on his mind and needed to be alone.
Hatake Kakashi watched him leave, unable to say any comforting words in the end. After a long silence, he used the Body Flicker Technique and left.
He needed to talk to his two companions.
Inside the Hokage Office.
"You've really caused me a lot of trouble." Senju Tobirama sat behind the desk with his arms crossed.
He had been harassed by the other party for a long time, probably since that Dream Fulfillment Company was first proposed.
There was no response, partly because of suspicion about Lin Ke's identity, and partly because he believed that the dead shouldn't interfere with the world of the living. The taboo of crossing life and death was very dangerous.
He himself was an expert in using the Impure World Reincarnation, and of course he was worried that he would have to pay a price to return to the present world and become a weapon to attack the village.
Wasn't the last time he was summoned an example?
However, as he was disturbed time and time again and had more time to think, he verified Lin Ke's identity as a Konoha Village ninja and realized that the village's enemies had mastered the Impure World Reincarnation. Even if he didn't respond, he would be summoned out again sooner or later.
It was better to find a solution in other ways.
The good news is that Lin Ke responded and returned to the real world without any harm or cost.
That kid was extremely abusing the technique of summoning the dead. Village ninjas often encountered Fugaku and his wife taking Sasuke shopping, and Nawaki, who looked similar to Naruto, wandering around the village, followed by Tsunade.
He had the opportunity to deal with problems he couldn't solve when he was alive.
The bad news is that after calmly thinking and dealing with government affairs for a day, he realized that he might also abuse this technique and decided to further develop it.
And then there's the problem with the Uchiha kid...
"So, Second Hokage, how does it feel to be back in the real world?" Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Lin Ke naturally returned to the ease he had when interacting with the dead.
You can't lie with Summoning Jutsu, so there's no point in pretending to be respectful.
"If it's a battle, I can help you." Senju Tobirama also entered the negotiation phase, "As long as the opponent is an enemy of the village."
"No problem." Lin Ke had no intention of leaving the village now, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't attack Konoha. After agreeing readily, he said, "I want to learn the Forbidden Technique created by you, Second Hokage."
"Hmph~"
Senju Tobirama snorted. After being the Hokage for so many years, it was the first time he had seen such a disrespectful kid.
He had no scruples about the ninja system or the Forbidden Technique.
"No problem, but you also have to cooperate with me in experimenting with the technique of summoning the dead." He had no intention of objecting.
Lin Ke decisively took out his notebook, which was filled with questions he had when learning the Flying Thunder God Technique and Impure World Reincarnation.
As the Fourth Hokage's shadow guard, the Genma Squad was taught the Flying Thunder God Formation by the Fourth Hokage. With the Second Hokage's brain, he could definitely come up with a way for him to release Impure World Reincarnation, right?
Reincarnation! Thunder God! Just looking at the names made him feel like he couldn't miss these two techniques.
Senju Tobirama glanced at the notebook and threw it into the trash can, saying, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome. Your technique is, to some extent, a deep application of Chakra's ability to connect with the soul. Yin Release Chakra is..."
He spoke eloquently about a series of ideas.
[I can understand a single word, but when they're connected...]
Lin Ke's brain gradually emptied. He had tried very hard to remember every sentence, but it was still in vain.
"..."
Senju Tobirama looked at Lin Ke, who seemed to understand but didn't, and resisted the urge to sigh, saying, "So, now tell me, which Forbidden Technique do you want to learn?"
"Can't I learn them together?"
Lin Ke deliberately asked an obvious question.
Senju Tobirama's temper wasn't very good, and he didn't need to be too patient with the kid in front of him, so he directly and rudely said, "You have to satisfy me before you can learn the other techniques."
He wanted to take the initiative.
Such a simple technique that breaks life and death without any cost, and there were two of them, how could he not be curious and want to study it carefully?
If the kid in front of him had a little talent, he would consider letting him study with him, but now...
He suspected that if he didn't help, the kid could study the high-difficulty Forbidden Technique for a lifetime.
The strange Bloodline Limit of mutated Ninjutsu didn't come from genetic inheritance, so it was likely that there was a significant abnormality in his mind. Such talent should be constantly used to develop various Ninjutsu to try out the effects.
But with this kid's talent, he really couldn't expect too much. Fortunately, he was here.
[Only one?]
If it was the original Ninjutsu, without a doubt, the Flying Thunder God Technique was the most important. Space-Time Ninjutsu, learning it was a gain.
Mutated Ninjutsu, still based on the name, then—
"Impure World Reincarnation, I want to learn Impure World Reincarnation." Lin Ke quickly replied.
"Okay." Senju Tobirama responded, walked across the desk, came to him, and reminded him, "Open your mind, don't resist my communication, control your thoughts, and don't go wild if there's something you don't want me to know."
"Understood."
After Lin Ke was ready, the other party's palm penetrated his body, and a very strange feeling appeared.
It was as if he suddenly grew a brain.
[What's going on?]
[I understand now. The reason why you can't lie between Summoning Jutsu is because of the communication of minds, it's the characteristic of Chakra that allows people to link their minds. What the Second Hokage said earlier meant this.]
[In the case of deep communication, knowledge can also be transmitted. No matter how abstract and inexplicable the Jutsu is, it can be transmitted in this way.]
[So, Summoning Jutsu has such an effect, then...]
[Don't let your imagination run wild, control your thoughts, and honestly learn with me.] Senju Tobirama's stern voice rang in his head, [Also, you need to pay attention, the Chakra that constitutes my existence is rapidly being consumed, and the duration of the Jutsu is constantly decreasing.]
[Oh.]
Lin Ke forcibly emptied his mind, and soon, the thoughts of the external brain gradually became clear.
The usage methods of Impure World Reincarnation constantly emerged, and one by one, the previously incomprehensible Jutsu were understood at this moment through the communication of minds.
Then, images of using Impure World Reincarnation constantly surfaced, and a wonderful feeling surged into his heart—
He was sure that in this state, he could definitely release Impure World Reincarnation completely.
[Pay attention to learning, this is what I can use, not what you can use.] Senju Tobirama's somewhat helpless voice sounded.
[You... forget it, let's talk about it next time.]
As soon as he finished speaking, the external brain detached, and Lin Ke felt a little lost. How should he put it? The feeling of his brain suddenly becoming many times smarter was really a bit hard to let go of.
Regarding the Jutsu that he couldn't understand before, he could understand them at a glance—
[Wait, what did those last few Jutsu mean just now?]
He tried hard to recall, and after a while, he almost understood again. The main reason was that a large amount of unfamiliar knowledge and memories poured into his brain, making it very difficult to digest and absorb. Fortunately, he didn't rely on himself in most cases when releasing Ninjutsu, but relied entirely on the Ninjutsu to move on its own.
I can do it! Lin Ke thought with full confidence.
