The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated.

Chapter 198 The Child is called Pharmacist Dou

"Oh? Who is it?"

Everyone cast curious glances at him.

Anyone who can be recognized as a talent by the discerning Danzo must have extraordinary talent.

However, Li Xia's next recommendation surprised everyone present:
"That person is Might Guy!"

凯？
The son of Dai?

"Danzo, Might Guy is indeed very talented in taijutsu, but he has not shown much aptitude in ninjutsu and genjutsu. Although Jiraiya is also good at taijutsu, his taijutsu is more focused on ninjutsu. Isn't it inappropriate to let Jiraiya teach Might Guy?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and questioned.

Might Guy's attainments in taijutsu are currently about the same as those of Kakashi, who is the same age as him. His talent in ninjutsu and genjutsu can only be described as average.

It cannot be said that this child has no potential.

After all, he is the son of Might Dai, and he inherited Dai's genes and the Eight Gates training method. And Might Dai's explosive performance after opening the Eight Gates is there, which is a level that many Kage-level masters cannot reach. He killed four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist alone and scared away the remaining three.

Even if Might Guy's future achievements do not reach this level, even if he can only open six or seven gates, he will be an elite jonin.

There is still potential.

But compared to Kakashi, who is well-versed in physical skills, ninjutsu, and illusion skills, he is far behind.

Between a future elite jonin in physical skills and a potential Kage-level player with all-round development, anyone would know which one to focus on training.

And the most important thing is that there is really not much that Jiraiya can teach Might Guy.

The two of them are indeed incompatible.

"Yes, Danzo, if you value Might Guy, find him another jonin to guide him. That child is indeed not suitable for Jiraiya to teach. Jiraiya, you should find someone else. The Nara family, the Yuhi family, the Gekkou family and other families have all had good children in recent years..."

Utane Koharu reminded.

There's one job for one person. This is a great opportunity to win over the major ninja clans. Old friends, don't act on impulse.

In fact, she thought about recommending the Shiranui family and the Bishizu family.

However, there are already children from these two families that have been favored by the Fourth Hokage Minato, who has recruited them as Shadow Guards and even taught them the derivative skills of the Flying Thunder God Technique! It is clear that they are trying to win over these small and medium-sized families in the village! It is not easy for them to intervene.

The others also fell into deep thought at this moment.

They have already seen the tacit understanding between the F4: Danzo will personally recommend a candidate, and no matter whose child is chosen, that family will be grateful for this great favor.

"Well, Kai is indeed not suitable to be handed over to Jiraiya..."

Li Xia nodded, and then changed the subject:
“But I really admire their persistence in physical training!

I wanted to recruit Dai to join the roots before, but unfortunately I missed the opportunity.

Dai is a hero of our Konoha, and his child has never received much care and attention from the village. How can this be allowed? Since Jiraiya is not suitable, then let Kai join my Root and I will train him personally. Although I am not very good at the steel fist style of physical skills, it is no problem for me to lay a solid foundation for Kai.

Besides, I have never been stingy with my subordinates, and I will certainly not mistreat the descendants of the village hero."

Is it not appropriate for Might Guy to be handed over to Jiraiya for teaching?

It just so happens that he fits in here.

What I am waiting for is your rejection.

Your Hokage lineage looks down on Kai, but the Root lineage that our Hokage assists is quite optimistic about that kid.

Look carefully, this is what you didn’t want!
"You think highly of that child?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was very confused.

He naturally heard the admiration for Might Guy in his old friend's words.

“I will accept him as my disciple!
I like that child’s unyielding persistence!

I seem to see my own shadow in him..."

Li Xia's attitude was firm, and there seemed to be a flash of reminiscence in his eyes.

The other three F4 members all complained in their hearts when they heard this:
"You are not as innocent as Kai..."

...

With this preparation, Might Guy got it for free.

The kind that no one present could find fault with.

They were even more surprised when they found out that their advisor Danzo wanted to accept a disciple for the first time.

"Danzo, do you have any other talents to recommend?"

"How about Uchiha Shisui? That child performed well in the Eastern battlefield. He is also the descendant of Kagami. I believe he has inherited Kagami's will of fire..."

After Li Xia finished speaking, the happiest people were undoubtedly Uchiha Fugaku and several Uchiha senior ninjas who were attending the meeting behind him.

Their relationship with the major families in the village has always been tense, and since Uchiha Kagami's untimely death, they have been gradually marginalized by Konoha's high-ranking officials. In fact, there have long been voices in the family that are dissatisfied with Sarutobi Hiruzen and other high-ranking officials.

Uchiha Obito becoming Minato's disciple did ease the relationship, but Obito died.

The relationship has returned to a stalemate.

Unexpectedly, Danzo Shimura, whom the Uchiha had always disliked the most, would stand on their side this time to help them fight for an important spot to re-enter the high-level circle of Konoha.

That's right.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that becoming Jiraiya's disciple is a stepping stone to entering the core circle of the village.

In terms of seniority, he will be the junior of the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze! He is a potential stock that is likely to become Minato's confidant!

He is the disciple of the Third Hokage.

He is a legitimate descendant of the Hokage lineage.

In the future, there will even be a chance to compete for the position of Hokage. For the Uchiha clan, this is like a long-awaited blessing.

They all looked at Li Xia, and the more they looked at her, the more they liked her.

"Ahem, Danzo, Shisui is still training on the front lines, it would be good to let him achieve more merits..."

"Yes, Danzo. The local war has ended. There are only occasional frictions in the east. Once the village and Kirigakure reach a ceasefire agreement, it will be difficult for that kid to make meritorious deeds. Moreover, the reputation he created in Kirigakure is just right to intimidate many Kirigakure. With him there, maybe the war there can be ended as soon as possible..."

"It's inappropriate to transfer him back during the war for insignificant matters. It will damage the reputation of the Uchiha. Don't let Kirigakure think that the Uchiha are afraid..."

F4 are worthy of being F4. One after another, they spoke up to remind their old friend of his butt problem.

Let the Uchiha get involved? Are you crazy?

They had given Uchiha a chance before, but Uchiha Obito had been dead for a long time, so they could never give him such an opportunity again.

My old friend, what are you thinking about? Is he being controlled by Uchiha's illusion? Hyuga family, please check if my old friend has any signs of being under an illusion?
No illusion?
Oh, that's okay.

"My old friend, have you forgotten what Mr. Tobirama taught you? You have always been the most aggressive person against Uchiha. Why do you seem like a different person today?"

Even if Shisui is the descendant of Uchiha Kagami, even if you want to take care of his descendants for Kagami's sake, you can't be so biased as to ignore matters of principle.

Moreover, Jing has been dead for thirty years, and our relationship has long since faded.

Therefore, no matter what, the Uchiha cub must not be allowed any chance to enter the village's high-level circle again.

Unless you step on these old bones to get to the top.

In this regard.

The few people from the Uchiha clan who were attending the meeting saw it all and were furious, their chests heaving and their breathing becoming rapid.

If this place was not unsuitable for opening the Sharingan, they would definitely use red eyes to express their anger and unwillingness.

What a great opportunity...

Gone.

"Well, then... may I recommend a young fellow under my command? He is one in a million."

"Tell me…"

As long as it doesn't go too far against their principles, they are ready to accept it no matter who it is.

“His name is Yakushi Kabuto.

Now 7 years old.

He used to be an orphan in our Konoha Orphanage. Later, I discovered his talent and recruited him into the Root.

From that child, I saw intelligence, kindness, and talent in fairy arts. Jiraiya, I hope you can lay a solid foundation for him... You can spend three years patiently training three little ghosts from the Rain Country, so you should be able to help the village train a group of talents with more patience, right?"

Li Xia smiled.

He had achieved his goal of showing goodwill to the Uchiha family, or more precisely, to Uchiha Kagami's descendant Uchiha Shisui, so he directly stated his third goal.

Might Guy and Uchiha Shisui are both his targets.

I guessed in advance that Sarutobi Hiruzen was more optimistic about Kakashi than Might Guy, and I guessed the reactions of my three close friends after I recommended Uchiha Shisui.

Therefore, the two unlikely candidates were given the first place.

(It doesn't matter even if one of them succeeds in getting selected. Anyway, he has plenty of ways to recruit people to his team and ways to make Jiraiya accept them.)
And there is no doubt that he has high hopes for Kabuto Yakushi.

He planned to let Jiraiya teach him for a while, and then let Tsunade teach him for a while. After Orochimaru became desperate and defected from the village, he would let Kabuto serve as a bridge to connect the two.

In this way, Dou's starting point is much higher than the original time.

"As long as the child has a good heart and is motivated, I can try to teach him."

Jiraiya nodded.

He actually didn't like disciples who were too smart, because he himself was not very smart before, and was the last among the children of the same period, and he couldn't compare with the genius Orochimaru who was rare in a century. It was not until he accidentally used the summoning technique to send himself to Myoboku Mountain, one of the three holy places, that his life changed.

In other words, if the idiot has enough resources for cultivation, especially the inheritance of secret techniques, he can actually become a shadow-level powerhouse!

Of course, he can also teach smart disciples.

For example: Nagato, Yahiko, Konan, and Minato Namikaze.

They are all very smart disciples.

(Naruto in the later period is a little fool.)
...

After the Jonin meeting, the leaders of each major family recommended their own children.

There are at least two spots left for Jiraiya's disciples, so we must fight for them no matter what.

They didn't ask the children to reach the level of Minato Namikaze in ten years. Even if they could only become an elite jonin and surpass the elders in their family, and be better than them, they would be very, very satisfied.

Li Xia didn't care about these at all.

He glanced at Uzumaki Kushina in the crowd.

It is now mid-March, and the girl should be pregnant.

Then in October, it is harvest season again for him.

Noticing that Kushina was looking at him, Li Xia responded with a kind smile.

There is indeed no malice in it.

After all, the interests of both parties do not conflict.

"Don't worry, Minato Kushina, just go to the Pure Land with peace of mind. I will not let your child Naruto suffer any grievances! I will treat Naruto as my own son and use the best conditions to train him into a talent!"

I, Danzo, promise to behave myself this time.
