You Call This a Local Specialty?
"Woohoo~! Pidgeot, do an 8-figure maneuver again, then a high-speed dive and pull up!"
Yamanaka Kei used Chakra to firmly attach his feet to the Hawk Falcon's back, spreading his arms to feel the strong wind rushing towards him, the world turning upside down.
He only felt exceptionally free at this moment.
The vast earth, dense forests, remote villages, and rivers running through the dense forest.
Leaving behind that green-skinned Toad on the official road, its two hind legs churning as fast as a galloping horse, kicking up a trail of dust.
Everything he saw was so vivid and beautiful!
After playing for a full hour, fully enjoying the thrill of high-altitude flight.
Yamanaka Kei then returned to the Toad's back through the space coordinates on the Flying Thunder God Kunai in Namikaze Minato's ninja tool bag.
"Can't you use your own Flying Thunder God Mark?"
Namikaze Minato looked at the Flying Thunder God Kunai on his waist, helplessly raising his hand to rub his brow.
He was indeed happy for his best friend that he could learn the Flying Thunder God Technique.
But always using his Flying Thunder God Mark.
Always gave him a strange feeling, like he clearly went out wearing pants, but someone touched his bare butt.
"Can't, I'm not planning on letting others know about the Flying Thunder God Technique, such a killing move."
Yamanaka Kei hooked his arm around Namikaze Minato's neck.
Not at all concealing his distrust of the village's higher-ups.
"You, you, how are you going to make up this mission report again?"
"Hmm... how about this, for the Tea Country, we'll just say we completed the information gathering and left, and don't know about the follow-up, then honestly report the Summoning Island..."
"The Jonin who committed suicide?"
"The mission report is of course suicide, privately... well, let's talk to the Third Hokage, and hand over the Hozuki Clan's secret techniques and Gengetsu Hozuki's inheritance, after all, I'm a successor of the Will of Fire who is wholeheartedly for Konoha."
"I really thank you on behalf of Lord Hokage."
Namikaze Minato rarely rolled his eyes.
He wasn't stupid, how could he not see that Yamanaka Kei was completely passing the buck to the Third Hokage.
Are the Hozuki Clan's secret techniques something normal people can learn?
Whether it's the Water Transformation Technique, Water Gun Technique, Great Water Arm Technique, or Water Transformation Healing Technique.
Without the Hozuki Clan's bloodline, the difficulty of learning them is ridiculously high.
The same goes for Gengetsu Hozuki's inherited secret techniques.
Not only does it require extremely high Water Release talent, but also extremely high Genjutsu talent, and even the ability to turn the Water Transformation Technique into Oil Transformation.
How many years have the Hozuki Clan been struggling with it since Gengetsu Hozuki's death.
Was there ever a second Gengetsu Hozuki?
To Konoha, this is like Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage's Wood Release scroll.
Throw it away.
What if a genius appears who can learn it?
Learn it then.
Sorry, I'm just a fool.
Submitting this kind of secret technique scroll, with Lord Hokage's personality, while he'll feel a headache, he'll most likely accept it.
It is, after all, the legacy of the Second Mizukage, Gengetsu Hozuki.
Increasing Konoha's foundation can't be a bad thing.
But once this scroll is accepted, if the Hozuki Clan discovers that Yamanaka Kei knows their clan's secret technique,
Lord Hokage, no matter how bitter he feels, will have to step forward.
And with this scroll out in the open, even those two old guys in the Council of Elders who like to pass the buck won't be able to use this to criticize Yamanaka Kei.
"You're welcome, you're welcome, it's our duty."
Yamanaka Kei didn't care about Namikaze Minato's teasing.
"Kei, when will your actions match your words?"
"Little Sun, where did you learn this sarcastic tone?"
"Didn't I learn it from you?"
"Come, come, Honoka, you be the judge..."
Uzumaki Honoka, standing to the side, covered her mouth, giggling as she watched the two joking around.
The worries and unease she originally felt about settling in Konoha gradually dissipated with their laughter.
...
Two days later, inside the Konoha Hokage's office.
Sarutobi Hiruzen read through the mission reports submitted by Yamanaka Kei and Namikaze Minato.
He then looked at Uzumaki Honoka, standing nervously beside Minato, and the two secret technique scrolls and one sealing scroll on the desk.
He felt a throbbing in his temples, a feeling of being unable to breathe.
Bringing a member of the Uzumaki Clan to the village was fine, after all, the previous high-level meeting had already passed the resolution to gather Uzumaki Clan members.
Even if this girl named Uzumaki Honoka had previously worked in a Hidden Mist research lab.
As long as she had the Uzumaki Bloodline and no hostility towards Konoha, the others in the village would definitely welcome her with open arms.
But what are these other things?!
The Greatsword Samehada?
Hozuki Clan's secret technique?
The Second Mizukage Gengetsu Hozuki's inherited secret technique?
Are you really not afraid that the Hidden Mist lunatics will directly attack tomorrow?
"This mission is classified as top secret. The Hozuki Clan's secret technique will be sealed in the Scroll Chamber and categorized as extremely dangerous to practice. The Second Mizukage's technique... add it to the Book of Sealing. You can choose two techniques from the Scroll Chamber or the Book of Sealing as rewards."
The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi rubbed his temples.
At this critical time when war is on the verge of breaking out, he really doesn't want to get into this kind of trouble!
But the reserve of ninjutsu is one of the important foundations of a ninja village.
Could he blame his subordinates for bringing back a heavy secret technique inheritance?
If this spreads, who will do this in the future?
ε＝（´ο｀）））Sigh～
He is really convinced!
It was just a slightly dangerous investigation mission, how could so many things happen?
"Lord Hokage, then I'll take this sword. I promised Kushina before that I would bring her back a local specialty."
Yamanaka Kei walked to the desk with a flattering smile.
Using Kushina as an excuse, he directly took back the scroll sealing the great sword Samehada.
Namikaze Minato's face twitched almost imperceptibly.
The great sword Samehada is a local specialty?
Uh...
I don't know if it's local, but it seems to be a specialty?
"...Hidden Mist still values the Seven Ninja Swords very much. Before Hidden Mist and Hidden Sand have a result, don't show it off everywhere."
Sarutobi Hiruzen considered for a long time, but still didn't choose to keep the great sword Samehada.
The spoils of war that ninjas seize in missions belong to the ninja personally.
It's not good to keep subordinates' spoils of war.
Moreover, Hidden Mist and Hidden Sand are already fighting head-on at this time.
If it's just a ninja sword.
Whether it is for the sake of the overall situation or based on hatred for Hidden Sand, it is impossible to bare their fangs at Konoha at this time.
However, it's better to be safe and wait until they really fight before taking this thing out.
"Okay."
The smile on Yamanaka Kei's face was a bit more sincere.
The Third is indeed a good person!
Before returning to the village, he was thinking that the matter of the great sword Samehada might take some effort.
He didn't expect that the Third, who is not yet in his twilight years, would be much more courageous than he imagined!
Not bad, not bad!
Since this old geezer is so honest, he will definitely scam him less often in the future!
