Promising the future ahead of time, starting with Naruto

Chapter 158 Choice, A Precious Gift (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The power of the Ninja God!
The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, once oversaw the transplantation of Hashirama's cells, hoping to restore the power of the God of Shinobi.

Danzo even collaborated with Orochimaru, secretly conducting research, and eventually created Yamato, the master of Wood Release.

It would be a lie to say that Tsunade was unmoved, especially after she overcame the hemophobia left over from the last Shinobi World War and regained her spirits.

but.

After hesitating for a moment, Tsunade shook her head: "Although there is a high probability of quickly obtaining my grandfather's power, such an inheritance may not be what my grandfather wanted."

"Besides..."

Tsunade looked up, raised her chin, and looked at Genichi under the tree, saying arrogantly, "Even without transplanting my grandfather's cells, I am confident that I can master Wood Release."

"I am Tsunade-hime!"

Tsunade also had her pride, glancing at Genichi under the tree: "What, do you think I can't do it?"

Shuxia Xuanyi laughed and said, "Of course not."

"I have absolute confidence in you."

This is not a flattering lie.

After all, Tsunade's chances of success in training are much higher than others.

Genichi Kinoshita was not surprised by Tsunade's choice.

Tsunade was very satisfied with Genichi's answer and waved her hand, saying, "Then let's continue!"

"Let's study this cell thoroughly first. As for cloning vegetative patients, we need to think that through before trying it."

Xuan nodded under the tree.

The two continued working.

Before we knew it, it was late at night, and once midnight passed, it would be Konoha Year 48.

Numerous fireworks exploded in the sky above Konoha, creating a dazzling spectacle.

Genichi and Tsunade were awakened. They put down their work, stepped out of the laboratory, and looked up to admire the fireworks in the sky.

A moment later, laughter came from under the tree. Genichiro looked over and saw Shizune and Ina Uzumaki coming together.

"Xuanyi!"

Upon seeing Genichi under the tree, Shizune rushed over, stopping abruptly when she saw Tsunade, her face flushing red: "Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade withdrew her gaze and said to Shizune, "Let's go home!"

"Yes!"

Shizune nodded, then waved reluctantly to Genichi under the tree before leaving.

Uzumaki Ina walked up to Genichi under the tree and asked curiously, "What are you and Lady Tsunade busy with?"

"Researching a type of vegetative state patient."

Genichi Shushita turned and went back to the lab. After packing up his things, he strolled home with Ina Uzumaki.

"Xuan Yi, Kushina-neechan and Minato-nii are getting married. What kind of gift should we prepare?"

On the way, Uzumaki Ina mentioned something.

Genichi under the tree was first startled, then relieved.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki are both around 22 years old now, so it's normal for them to live together for a few years and then get married.

"Well..."

Genichi under the tree pondered, "It seems a bit difficult."

"When is that?"

"Should we have a grand wedding?"

Uzumaki Ina said, "It is a bit of a problem."

"The wedding is in three days, but there won't be a grand ceremony because of wartime. It's a bit of a shame!"

Uzumaki Ina felt a little regretful, but also envious.

"It's a bit of a pity, but being able to protect each other all the time is more precious than anything else."

Under the tree, Xuan Yi didn't care about formalities or anything like that.

Uzumaki Ina nodded, then tilted her head to look at Genichi under the tree and smiled, "Genichi, you'll have a day like this when you grow up, won't you be looking forward to it?"

Genichi under the tree stroked his chin: "Well..."

"It seems like there's still a long time ahead. Is it too long to be expecting it now?"

Uzumaki Ina was both amused and exasperated: "This...this seems to be true."

Normally, no one would think of Genichi under the tree as a twelve-year-old boy, but his real age is right there.

There are still six years until I become an adult!
Uzumaki Ina felt slightly discouraged; by the time Genichi came of age, she would be thirty.

Gritting her teeth, Uzumaki Ina decided that she had to learn the Yin Seal as soon as possible.

And then there's Silent... Xuan Yi and Silent are the most suitable.

Uzumaki Ina was somewhat troubled for a moment.

"Don't think so much."

Genichi Shushita suddenly grabbed Ina Uzumaki's hand: "Don't worry, you'll always be by my side."

Such scumbag words from a scumbag man actually made Uzumaki Ina smile.

In fact, due to the overexertion of his body, his hormone levels in all aspects are far higher than those of his peers, and in that aspect, he is no different from an adult.

If it weren't for the censorship authorities watching over him, he wouldn't care about being an adult or not.

In ancient times, people as young as thirteen or fourteen could get married and have children.

As long as it doesn't harm your health.

With a beautiful woman by his side, if he hadn't focused more on his cultivation and had enough willpower to restrain himself, Shuxia Xuanyi would have already gone astray.

Now, I think it's about time to wait another three years.

Back home, Yecang was still awake, sitting alone in the upstairs living room, staring blankly at the TV.

Are you hungry?

Genichi under the tree touched his stomach.

Uzumaki Ina and Yekura exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison.

So the three of them went into the kitchen together and busied themselves making some food, then ate while watching a fun-filled cartoon.

Genichi's parents, Noji and Minako, were also awake and keeping watch, but they didn't come out to disturb their son's good time.

The night passed in a blink of an eye.

On January 1, 1948, Genichiro Shushita began to get busy.

In addition to participating in the sacrificial rites, he also visited elders such as Hatake Sakumo and Uchiha Naruto's mother, Uchiha Mizumi.

Genichi Shushita had lunch with Uchiha Namikaze's mother.

Before leaving, he suggested that Uchiha Mizumi adopt a child from the orphanage, but Uchiha Mizumi refused.

“When you have a child, Xuanyi, Auntie can help you take care of it.”

Uchiha Mizumi answered with a smile.

Genichi Shushita laughed and said, "Then Aunt Meiquan, you'd better be prepared for a lot of work. I'm going to have a lot of children."

Uchiha Mizumi said with genuine joy and anticipation, "Then I will prepare well."

……

Soon it arrived that day would come for Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki to get married.

There was no grand wedding, and not many people were invited.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Sakumo Hatake, Genichi Kinoshita, Ina Uzumaki, Kakashi, Obito Uchiha, and Rin Nohara.

Although there weren't many people, it was lively and very warm.

Such occasions are extremely rare during wartime.

Looking at Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki taking photos, Genichi Kishita glanced at Obito Uchiha, who was secretly watching Rin Nohara beside him, and suddenly felt a little out of place.

Sometimes knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing; while it may bring a lot of fun, it can also take away a lot of fun.

"But speaking of which, now that Madara Uchiha has exposed himself in front of me, will he still target Obito?"

Genichi's thoughts drifted far away again under the tree.

Furthermore, the Fourth Mizukage had already become the Jinchūriki of the Three-Tails ahead of schedule.

If Madara Uchiha wants to corrupt Obito, he'll probably have to find another way.

And is it really necessary to have Obito Uchiha?
Now that Madara Uchiha has personally stepped in to recruit the corrupted Nagato, is another layer of insurance still needed?
Genichi Shushita couldn't help but ponder these questions.

He discarded the observer's mindset and instead put himself in Nagato and Madara Uchiha's shoes.

Then it was discovered that from Nagato's perspective, there was also Nagato's own upbringing and his understanding of Nagato's personality.

Nagato will not completely trust Madara Uchiha and will definitely be wary.

Secondly, Nagato probably won't take Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon plan seriously, and will have his own plans instead.

Even someone as simple-minded as Obito Uchiha had his own ideas in the original timeline, let alone Nagato, who experienced a much more complex life.

What about Madara Uchiha?
How could the cunning and shrewd Madara Uchiha possibly trust Nagato!

Having a backup plan is a basic practice.

This is based on personality analysis. From the perspective of the Eye of the Moon plan, Madara Uchiha also needed to have a backup plan to ensure a way out. After all, Nagato, who possesses the Rinnegan, is difficult for anyone else to control unless Madara Uchiha personally takes control of him.

So why was it Obito Uchiha?
Genichiro looked at the dumbfounded Obito Uchiha.

It's still about personality.

People with this kind of personality are truly rare among the Uchiha clan.

The likelihood of a person turning evil is three times greater than normal.

If someone like Obito Uchiha, a sunny, optimistic, helpful person who freely expresses his love, were to turn evil, he could be ten times stronger.

"How about it, are you envious?"

Jiraiya appeared beside Genichi under the tree.

Genichi Shushita snapped out of his thoughts and said with a smile, "I'm still young. Jiraiya-sama, you're the one who should be envious, right?"

"After all, you're still single at your age."

Jiraiya's smile instantly turned into a bewildered expression: "You really are... not likable at all!"

Genichi Shushita was delighted and laughed, "Jiraiya-sensei, you're just jealous."

"Both Shizune and Ina like me very much!"

Jiraiya looked at Shizune and Ina Uzumaki, unable to refute them, and could only sarcastically say, "Too bad, you're still a little kid."

"Besides, by the time you grow up, Jingnai will already be over thirty, right?"

Genichi immediately shouted, "Lady Tsunade, Jiraiya-sensei said that you're so old and no one wants you!"

Jiraiya was terrified and ran away before he could even put down his wine cup.

"Jiraiya!" Tsunade's ponytail flew up as she shouted and chased after him.

Immediately afterwards, the ground and houses began to shake violently.

Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki exchanged a smile, silently praying that Jiraiya's injuries wouldn't be too severe.

Genichi under the tree was in an even better mood.

Indeed, happiness comes from other people's unhappiness.

In fact, quite a few people in Konoha Village have gotten married recently.

They were all around the same age as Minato Namikaze.

For example, Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza, among others, got married one after another after the New Year.

The influence of war may also be at play here.

Just like the two previous Shinobi World Wars, there was a baby boom before and after each one.

It could have happened before the war or at the end of the war.

……

That evening, Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki, who had been busy all day, opened their gifts together.

Besides the guests who came today, many people who couldn't come also sent gifts.

These are all people who worked with Minato Namikaze.

Kushina Uzumaki first opened the gift given by Ina Uzumaki and found a set of baby clothes and toys. She blushed and quickly put them away.

I'll definitely need it in the future.

"Let's see what Xuan Yi gave us?"

Kushina Uzumaki said.

Minato Namikaze immediately found Genichi Kishita's gift, opened it, and discovered it was a scroll.

"This guy's mind is only on ninjutsu. Could he have developed some kind of sealing technique?"

Kushina Uzumaki laughed.

Minato Namikaze couldn't help but sigh, "In this respect, Genichi is truly unmatched."

"When we have children in the future, we'll ask Xuan Yi to be our teacher!"

Kushina Uzumaki's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she nodded and smiled, "That's a good idea."

Minato Namikaze unfurled the scroll, his smile vanishing as his expression turned utterly serious: "Xuan Yi's gift is a bit too..."

Kushina Uzumaki asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

She leaned closer to Minato Namikaze to look at the contents of the scroll, then exclaimed in surprise, "This...?"

"It's so precious!"

Namikaze Minato nodded.

He hadn't expected Genichi Kishita to send such a gift.

The training method of Ice Release!
He traded Water Release for the Rasengan back then, which was actually a bargain. Although he offered to introduce Jiraiya as compensation, Jiraiya did not accept Genichi Koushi as his disciple.

Afterwards, the relationship between the two sides continued to improve, including exchanges on the Flying Thunder God Technique, further development of the Rasengan, and sealing techniques...

The complex relationship between the two parties can no longer be measured by simple interests.

However, Minato Namikaze felt that neither the S-rank sealing technique like the Reaper Death Seal nor any other sealing techniques could compare to the value of this Ice Release training method.

In the ninja world, sectarianism regarding ninjutsu is far deeper than one might imagine.

Bloodline Limits, on the other hand, can be inherited by offspring through bloodlines, and can create a bloodline limit clan.

Its value is unimaginable, even though cultivation is difficult.

Kushina Uzumaki naturally understood its value and hesitated, saying, "Why don't we return it to Genichi?"

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "I know Genichi. Once he chooses to give it away, he definitely won't take it back."

"Moreover, this is specially given to you. The combination of Wind Release and Water Release forms Ice Release. Kushina, you are born with these two attributes, making you more suitable than me."

"If you can't master it, then let the child cultivate it later, and by the way, have him become Xuan Yi's disciple."

Upon hearing this, Kushina Uzumaki couldn't help but laugh and said, "It seems I have to have a child to become Xuan Yi's disciple!"

Minato Namikaze nodded, then added, "This matter cannot be revealed. Very few people should know that Genichi possesses the information about Ice Release."

There must be a reason why Genichi Koushi didn't use Ice Release during the previous battle with the Mist Ninja.

He immediately thought of the Third Mizukage being assassinated by the Yuki clan.

It's probably not one of the Snow Clan, but rather Genichi Koushi, who also possesses Ice Release.

"As expected of Konoha's number one genius!"

Minato Namikaze sighed inwardly, then placed a seal on the scroll that only he and Kushina Uzumaki could break.

As for who is the number one genius in Konoha, that's his opinion.

But Minato Namikaze believed that no one could refute him.

……

Sending out the Ice Release training method was a decision made by Genichi Kishiro after much deliberation.

It's not a lick.

Ice Release is precious; in the ninja world, this kind of behavior would be absolutely revolutionary.

Even the closest relationships wouldn't involve giving gifts like this.

However, Genichiro's vision extends beyond just the ninja world.

Naruto's existence is special; even without the identity of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, he is still extraordinary.

He is the reincarnation of Ashura's chakra, and is connected to the Sage of Six Paths.

The Ice Release training method was less of a wedding gift and more of a placeholder.

Genichi Kishita believed that if the Nine-Tails were to cause further chaos, and if Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki were to die, they would definitely entrust Naruto to him.

Even if none of this happens, the Ice Release training method is here, coupled with their close relationship and Genichi Kinoshita's powerful strength, the Minato couple would take the opportunity to have their descendants become his disciples.

Genichi Kishita actually dislikes the word "bond" (絵).

But I have to say it's very useful sometimes, especially in the ninja world where bonds are highly valued.

Even before Naruto was born, Genichi Kishita had already established a bond between them.

He's so hypocritical!
In fact, even if the Ice Release technique hadn't been given to Minato and Namikaze, Genichi Koushi wouldn't have only passed it down to his descendants.

He will not hesitate to teach his disciples if he takes on any in the future.

Another aspect is the practice itself.

In the past, the reason for cultivating good relations with Minato Namikaze and his group was to obtain resources and even to consolidate power.

But gradually, they began exchanging sealing techniques and ninjutsu, actually for the purpose of learning.

Genichi Shushita has gradually realized his lack of wisdom and that he needs others to make up for it.

The collaboration with Orochimaru was based on this point.

One person's wisdom is limited, but the wisdom of many is superior.

These are all very real issues.

"The piece has been placed..."

Under the tree, Genichi had a vague intuition that he would eventually face off against the Sage of Six Paths.

Something's really wrong with this world.

The mother and sons turned against each other, and then she watched as her two sons fought to the death.

The Sage of Six Paths possesses great love, but for someone with such low-level understanding as Genichi under the tree, he's just mentally ill!

He admitted that he could never reach that level.

Once a certain level is reached, ideological conflicts are bound to occur.

Sometimes, ideological conflicts are more serious than conflicts of interest, just like the Sage of Six Paths and Kaguya Otsutsuki!
That night, Genichi was thinking a lot under the tree.

Unable to sleep, he got up and continued his spiritual practice.

Ten or twenty years is a long time, but it is also very short.

Time waits for me!

I'd rather die a violent death than die weak!

The New Year's atmosphere quickly passed.

Tsunade, Ina Uzumaki, and Shizune all went to the battlefield one after another.

Kakashi and his friends also ended their vacation and started doing missions everywhere.

Only Genichi Koushi remained unchanged, either in the laboratory or in some remote place in the back mountains of Konoha, training.

at the same time.

The Land of Rain, the temporary base of the Akatsuki organization.

A nutrient chamber opened, and Changmen, who had undergone a double leg transplant, walked out from it.

There were also five nutrient tanks nearby, each containing a corpse, one of which was Yahiko.

On the stone chair, Madara Uchiha looked at Nagato and said, "Now that you have Hashirama's cells, your control over the Rinnegan will be even stronger."

"The techniques have been taught to you. Now you need to master these powers. I'm sure it won't be long before no one in the ninja world will be your match."

"At that time, you will become a god in this world, comparable to the legendary Sage of Six Paths."

Nagato did indeed feel the increase in his power and said, "Now that the major ninja villages are fighting each other, shouldn't this be the best time to collect the tailed beasts?"

Xiao Nan, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement.

It is easier to take advantage of chaos.

Madara Uchiha said calmly, "Don't be too hasty. Collecting the Tailed Beasts requires us to be prepared to fight against the entire ninja world."

"Furthermore, gathering information about the tailed beasts also takes time."

"You'll need help to collect the Tailed Beasts; one person is far from enough."

"Never underestimate the power of those ninja villages."

Nagato pondered for a moment, then nodded in approval of Uchiha Madara.

He is indeed still very inexperienced.

That's fine, he also needs time to grow so that he can take control of the people in front of him.

"Now, just lie low and wait for the war to end. When the time is right, you can seek revenge on Hanzo and take over Amegakure as a cover."

Madara Uchiha stood up: "Moreover, this is also the first step towards achieving peace."

"At least, let's bring peace to the Land of Rain, shall we?"

After saying that, Madara Uchiha left with Aloe Vera White Zetsu.

Regarding the use of Ice Release, if you feel it went too far, please feel free to change it immediately. The author is quite flexible when it comes to making a living o(╥﹏╥)o
