Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 187 What Hinders a Ninja's Growth?
The hum of motorcycles echoed through the main streets of Konoha Village.

But without exception, all those who ride motorcycles are ninjas, since they need chakra.

Furthermore, students at the ninja academy have limited chakra reserves and are unable to ride motorcycles.

Having a motorcycle is not only stylish, but also very convenient.

However, on a rooftop somewhere in the village, Mitokado Yan had a look of worry in his eyes.

Mitokado Homura was known as the wise strategist of Konoha, and his wisdom was admired by the Nara clan.

Seeing others pursuing the Ghost Fire Motorcycle, Mitokado Homura initially didn't care, but soon became worried.

Undeniably, motorcycles provided a lot of convenience for ninjas, but when ninjas became addicted to pleasure, pursued external things, and neglected their own growth, it was putting the cart before the horse!
Even the best technological products are still just external things.

For a ninja, it is best to keep the power within themselves.

Furthermore, according to the intelligence gathered, there is indeed a genin named Kira in Kusagakure.

But Kusagakure doesn't have motorcycles.

If the Grass Ninja Village developed motorcycles, why didn't they promote them within their own village? Instead, they traveled all the way to Konoha to sell them.

Is this an attempt to 'corrode' the Konoha ninjas with motorcycles?
With ulterior motives.

“Something that hinders a ninja’s growth.” Mitokado Homura’s expression turned cold.

Motorcycles can exist in Konoha, but they cannot hinder the growth of ninjas.

In other words, ninjas cannot rely on motorcycles.

The current situation is a bad trend.

The fifth generation Jiraiya is no longer in the village, so the third generation has the final say.

With these thoughts in mind, Mitokado Homura went to find the Third Generation.

The ancestral home of the Sarutobi clan.

The third-generation motorcycle was parked.

We rode our motorcycles around the village, and I must say, we really got along well.

Konohamaru, the grandson of the third generation, was also somewhat excited.

As soon as he parked his motorcycle, the Third Generation saw Mitokado Homura approaching.

"Hiruzen, don't fall into depravity." Mitokado Homura stared at the Third Hokage with a serious expression.

Third generation: ? ? ?
Fall?

"There are no motorcycles in the Grass Village, and it is obvious that motorcycles can provide convenience for ninjas. So here's the question: Kira is a Grass Village ninja, why is he coming to Konoha to promote motorcycles instead of promoting them in the Grass Village first?" The more Mitokado Homura spoke, the more serious his old face became.

Upon hearing what Mitokado Homura said, the Third Generation's face changed.

A ninja named Kira brought a motorcycle to Konoha.

According to Kira, he wanted to make some money from the large market in Konoha and to deepen the friendship between Kusagakure and Konoha.

But is it really that simple?

The biggest problem is that Kusagakure doesn't have motorcycles.

At this moment, the third generation's brows furrowed even more deeply.

The Third Hokage was startled by the thought of a large number of motorcycles appearing in Konoha and the ninjas becoming increasingly reliant on them.

"I never imagined the Grass Ninja could be so treacherous." The Third Hokage looked at the motorcycle in front of him, a hint of fear in his eyes.

You should know that if Mitokado Homura hadn't reminded him, the Third Hokage wouldn't have thought of it and would have been happy to own a motorcycle.

If this goes on for a long time, even a tough guy like him might become dependent on motorcycles.

"Could it be related to Takumi Ninja Village?" Mitokado Homura offered a guess.

"The Village of Craftsmen?" The Third Hokage seemed to be deep in thought.

Takumi Village was founded by the ninja craftsman Seimei and is skilled in making and using ninja tools.

Many of the ninja tools used by the Five Great Nations were purchased from the Craftsman Village.

According to intelligence, Takumi Ninja Village seems to have created armor that can absorb chakra, as well as weapons that change when they sense chakra.

Grass Ninja Village alone should not be able to develop the Ghost Fire Motorcycle.

So, it might actually be related to Takumi Ninja Village.

If it's truly related to Takumi Village, is it just the Grass Ninja and Takumi ninja plotting against Konoha? Could there be other major ninja villages behind this?
"It requires chakra to use, so only ninjas can use it, yet it provides convenience for ninjas. Hmph, the real intention behind this is to make our Konoha ninjas dependent on motorcycles, but this dependency has been formed..." Mitokado Homura said with an angry expression.

Even without Mitokado Homura finishing speaking, the Third Generation understood.

The Third Generation agreed with Mitokado's views.

He truly deserves to be Hiruzen Sarutobi's best friend.

As expected of the village's advisor, Konoha is fortunate to have such a wise general!

“Yan, you’re right. This Ghost Fire Motorcycle is indeed an obstacle to a ninja’s growth,” the Third Hokage said.

"Then should we completely ban motorcycles?" Yan asked.

A complete ban on motorcycles?

The third generation hesitated.

Although there aren't many motorcycles in the village now, their impact is significant.

Too many people are eyeing motorcycles, wanting to own one.

In this situation, a complete ban on motorcycles would likely cause great dissatisfaction.

"A complete ban is not appropriate; let's restrict it instead!" After considering for a moment, the Third Generation took out his pipe, lit some tobacco, took a deep drag, exhaled a cloud of smoke, and said calmly.

"Restrictions?" Yan thought about it and thought it was acceptable.

After all, motorcycles have their good points too.

As long as it doesn't affect the growth of the village's ninjas, everything else is secondary.

Ninjas are the foundation of the village.

Neither the Third Generation nor the Flame Emperor were extreme.

If it were Guo Ying here, he would probably ban motorcycles completely. Of course, he would secretly install some at the base, so they wouldn't be used on ordinary days, but could still be used in critical situations.

Unfortunately, the SSR combination of the 'Konoha F4 Team' is incomplete without one member.

Without Danzo, the Third Hokage often felt powerless.

Even Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu would occasionally reminisce about Danzo.

However, Danzo was already a rogue ninja.

Danzo's fate is sealed; death is the only option.

Even with good luck, Danzo's best ending would be to die of old age in Konoha prison!
Next, Yan went to find Xiaochun, while Sandai went to visit the patriarchs of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan.

As time went by, the Konoha leadership reached a consensus.

Since motorcycles are an obstacle to the growth of ninjas, it is necessary to restrict them.

……

Throughout Konoha, many ninjas and civilians have been infected with Awei's spores, meaning they are all essentially Awei's informants.

In addition, Awei's perception can cover the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

While promoting motorcycles in Konoha, Awei naturally kept a close eye on the Konoha leadership.

When Mitokado Yan went to see the Third Generation, Awei noticed.

"It seems that the Konoha leadership is going to restrict motorcycles," Awei thought to himself.

Awei was mentally prepared for this result.

Orochimaru described Konoha as a windmill that never turns, saying it had no value for viewing.

Konoha hasn't changed much in the last few decades.

Therefore, the Konoha leadership is unlikely to accept new things casually.

Moreover, ninjas would definitely develop a dependence on motorcycles.

Having gotten used to riding motorcycles, how many ninjas are still foolish enough to run on foot? Isn't that low-class?
Imagine two ninjas traveling together, one on a motorcycle and the other on foot. If the former gives the latter a disdainful look, even if the latter doesn't break through his defenses, he certainly won't be able to stay calm.

Once most ninjas think that riding a motorcycle is high-class and sophisticated, those who run on foot will become the object of ridicule!

However, since the Konoha leadership has restricted motorcycles, they are unable to cause any significant disruption.

Everything is under control; maintaining the current order is probably the choice that Konoha's leadership has made now!

However, in comparison...

Next, I'll also promote motorcycles in Sunagakure, Iwagakure, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure.

They even promoted it in some small ninja villages.

At that time, if Konoha restricts motorcycles while other ninja villages allow them, then the advantage of having a large number of motorcycles over a small number of motorcycles will be achieved.

The rest is just a back-and-forth, snowballing effect. Also, the current Hokage of Konoha is Jiraiya.

Jiraiya's attitude towards motorcycles is also very important.

So, Awei wasn't in a hurry.

Creating the Ghost Fire Motorcycle and getting the entire ninja world to accept it is no easy task.

We can't rush things; we need to take it one step at a time.

Actually, even if he ultimately fails, there's nothing that Awei can't accept.

Success is great, but failure is nothing to worry about.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at an old woman crossing the road not far behind him. To others, she was just an ordinary old woman, a commoner in the village, but in reality, she was Bai Jue in disguise.

It's likely that when Obito was a child, the old ladies he helped cross the road in the village were actually White Zetsu in disguise.

It's normal that the White Zetsu lurking in Konoha would target Awei.

Ah Wei's disguise technique was not something that other White Zetsu could see through, so they would only think that he was the Grass Ninja Kira.

Currently, there is only one Grass Ninja in Konoha.

Moreover, the motorcycle was brought to Konoha by this Grass Ninja.

This made Kira the center of attention from the moment he arrived in Konoha.

Some people also felt that Kira was neglecting his duties.

As a ninja, why would you go to another ninja village to promote motorcycles instead of messing around in your own village?

Some people admired Kira's courage.

Although he hasn't been in Konoha for long, Awei has already achieved quite a bit.

For example, he touched Naruto's head, pinched Sasuke's cheek, played shogi with Shikamaru, and treated Hinata to ramen...

Hinata's appetite even reminded Awei of Saiyans.

Eating too much can attract strange looks from others.

In addition, eating too much would worry her family, so Hinata rarely ate her fill.

Ah Wei treated Hinata to ramen once, and wow, the empty bowls piled up really high.

"Rasengan~"

With the help of his shadow clones, Naruto successfully created the Rasengan.

However, the Rasengan was unstable and disintegrated in the blink of an eye.

Naruto, however, was not discouraged; instead, he was filled with excitement.

"Rasengan? I can do that too." Awei said with a smile.

With a few quick rubs, a chakra ball appeared in Awei's hand.

However, the chakra ball was smaller than Naruto's earlier one, and Awei looked like he was struggling, as if using the Rasengan had consumed most of his chakra.

Of course, this is pretending.

"Kira-nii-san is amazing." Naruto's eyes were filled with admiration.

Naruto barely succeeded with the help of his shadow clones.

……

A pair of eyes, hidden in the shadows, were watching Awei; they belonged to the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu.

The ANBU ninja took out a small notebook and wrote down that the grass ninja Kira knew the Rasengan. In addition, he also made a judgment on Kira's chakra level.

This ANBU ninja is a Jonin.

How could a Jonin possibly be detected when he is monitoring a Genin, especially one from a major ninja village who is doing so while keeping a distance from a minor ninja village?
Therefore, this member of the secret service did not believe that he would be discovered.

But these secret agents probably forgot.

The strongest in the ninja world are... Genin!

……

"Thanks to the Rasengan training method that appeared on the light screen, otherwise I would never have been able to learn this hand seal-less ninjutsu," Kira said to Naruto with a smile.

Kira had blond hair, which made Naruto feel a sense of familiarity.

Naruto was also watching the light screen.

The training method for the Rasengan was once revealed on the screen.

With the training method available, countless people in the ninja world learned the Rasengan.

Grass Ninja Village is a ninja village that excels at 'learning'.

With a training method available, even if learning the Rasengan is difficult, some Grass Ninja can learn it.

But how many days has it been?
A genin from Kusagakure can actually use the Rasengan.

So, how many ninjas in the entire Kusagakure village can already use the Rasengan?

Next, Kira and Naruto discussed the training of the Rasengan.

Kira's insights were very helpful to Naruto.

……

In the Uchiha clan's territory, Sasuke was pestering the elder.

The Grand Elder also bought a motorcycle.

Erzhuzi wanted to borrow the motorcycle for a ride, but the elder treasured it.

Fugaku also bought one, but Erzhuzi didn't dare to borrow it.

However, the elder couldn't hold out for long and eventually lent the newly bought motorcycle to Erzhuzi.

Of all the children in the clan, the eldest elder now values ​​Sasuke the most.

Not only because Sasuke is the son of clan leader Fugaku, but also because Sasuke may possess Indra's chakra.

Although Sasuke's brother was a rogue ninja, the Grand Elder also knew that Itachi had infiltrated the Akatsuki organization.

However, the future of the clan does not lie with Itachi, but with Sasuke.

It's just a motorcycle.

There's nothing that can't be lent out.

Even if we buy a few more, how much more money would it cost?

Only by getting closer to Sasuke can I teach him.

That's right, the Grand Elder wants to teach Sasuke.

It's not only about helping Sasuke improve his strength, but also about making him prioritize his clan.

However, since the clan and the village are at odds, Sasuke should fight for the clan without hesitation, and not follow the example of Fugaku, Shisui, and Itachi.

The elder had long harbored resentment towards Fugaku.

If it weren't for Fugaku's kaleidoscope, and if his two sons weren't so successful, Fugaku wouldn't still be the clan leader.

The Fugaku couple also paid more attention to Sasuke.

Even when Fugaku was very busy with work, he would still make time to talk to Sasuke and teach him ninjutsu.

When Sasuke successfully performs a ninjutsu, even if Fugaku thinks it's not as good as Itachi's, he will still praise Sasuke a few times.

Many powerful members of the clan were willing to teach Sasuke.

As for the Konoha leadership, they were wary, distrustful, and suppressed the Uchiha clan, yet they showed goodwill towards Sasuke, allowing him to experience the Will of Fire.

The Third Hokage also went to the Ninja Academy to talk to the children (Sasuke) about the Will of Fire.

Clearly, the village's higher-ups hoped that Sasuke could be like Shisui, or like Itachi.

The Uchiha are an inherently evil clan, and only the Will of Fire can make them cease to be evil. Yes, that's the situation.

Even though Naruto returned to Konoha, Sasuke is still very important.

As for Naruto, his days in Konoha are much better now.

The main reason is that everyone knows Naruto is the orphan of the Fourth Hokage.

Furthermore, Naruto was merely a vessel for sealing the Nine-Tails; the Nine-Tails' mistakes should not be borne by Naruto, and Naruto is innocent as well.

Many people feel guilty about their past attitude towards Naruto and want to make it up to him, otherwise they will feel uneasy.

On the other hand, Konoha is also closely monitoring Amegakure.

With Naruto gone, if the Akatsuki were to declare war on Konoha, Konoha would need to be fully prepared.

War is not what Konoha wants, but Naruto cannot give up no matter what.
