Uchiha: Starting as Tobirama's Jinchuriki

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Jiraiya's deathly pale face and emphasized, word by word:

"Judging from your expression, it's related to that prophecy again, isn't it?"

"I don't care what those toads said or what they told you to do. With a formidable enemy at hand, can you and Minato Namikaze serve Konoha and focus your attention on the enemy, instead of the so-called prophecy?"

"If you can't do it, tell me, the Hokage, right now!"

Jiraiya nodded with difficulty, and the dazed Hiruzen Sarutobi bid farewell, pondering the various matters concerning Aoshui.

All of them are correct, all of them are really correct!

Qingshui, the forbidden prophesied child who brought war to the ninja world…

Minato Namikaze walked beside Jiraiya, his face also grim. He said in a low voice, "Jiraiya-sensei, Aozumi went to Kushina a few days ago and had her pretend to be a Jinchuriki and go berserk."

"The Nine-Tails' assessment of Qing Shui was that he possessed secrets capable of shaking the ninja world, which seems to align with the Great Toad Sage's prophecy..."

Jiraiya slowly exhaled a long breath.

Even the Nine-Tails has come to confirm the Great Toad Master's prophecy...

Sure enough, the Mount Myōboku he had always believed in did indeed have the ability to predict the future, and his trust in it had indeed been right!

"Minato, you believe in the prophecy of Mount Myōboku, don't you?"

Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "Things have come to this point, we can only help Konoha get through this crisis first, and then talk to Aoshui to change his extreme mindset about war!"

"Go Minato, you need to step up your game!"

Minato Namikaze nodded slowly.

If Minato Namikaze was initially skeptical about the prophecy of Mount Myōboku, he now believes it to be mostly true.

Kushina's Nine-Tails' assessment of Aoshui perfectly matched the Great Toad Sage's opinion...

That makes it very credible.

"I believe you, Jiraiya-sensei."

Minato Namikaze said softly, "Please help me. I will strive to become the Fourth Hokage and lead the village onto the path of peace..."

Jiraiya patted Minato Namikaze on the shoulder and said with emotion:

"I've always believed in you, Minato."

"Now, the future of the ninja world depends on the two of us!"

After Jiraiya left, Hiruzen Sarutobi also came to Root.

He had intended to finalize the further details of the war with Qingshui, but his eyes widened as soon as he arrived!

Sitting on the stool, Qing Shui smiled and held a clay bomb. He stuffed a handful of black flame into it, sealed it with a fine seal, and placed it next to the respectful Root ninja.

Then, he repeated the action.

Although it's done manually, the production speed is very fast, just like making wontons.

"Qingshui, what kind of new weapon is this?" Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at the black flame in Qingshui's hand with surprise and doubt.

With his keen eyesight, he could naturally tell that this Amaterasu was no ordinary fire jutsu; its temperature and power were both extremely high.

"Clay Bomb Amaterasu Limited Edition..."

Aokiji greeted Hiruzen Sarutobi and pointed to his eye socket:

"Ordinary Explosion Release clay bombs are countered by Lightning Release, and their effectiveness will be reduced once the enemy becomes familiar with them."

"But my Amaterasu is different. It can strengthen itself by igniting chakra, and its properties, combined with the explosive spread of clay bombs, make it a perfect match..."

"It doesn't need much, just a trace is enough to keep it burning. Even a Jonin or a Kage would be in trouble if they were hit by it without a way to deal with it."

"By the way, I'll also practice my eye techniques and sealing techniques."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared in bewilderment as Qing Shui used a fire-sealing seal to stuff another wisp of terrifying black flame into the clay, a chill running through him.

If that thing exploded near him, even Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage of Konoha, felt he would be completely bewildered…

It wasn't just Hiruzen Sarutobi who felt a tremor in his heart.

Even Tobirama Senju, inside Aozumi's body, was shocked by this bomb, which had extremely strong adhesion and was highly lethal.

Amaterasu, which originally had a relatively simple function, was somehow transformed by Aomine into a weapon of mass destruction…

This is really——

The student has surpassed the teacher!

Chapter 145 Qing Shui: Gentlemen, I love war!

"Qingshui, how did you come up with the idea to do this?"

Tobirama Senju couldn't help but ask, "Are your eyes really alright? Don't push yourself too hard..."

The master and apprentice pair, Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi, were speechless at Aoshui's actions.

Qing Shui didn't seem to be making any dangerous weapons; instead, he appeared as calm and leisurely as if he were cooking.

That's right, it's cooking, or rather, making dumplings...

On the ground, a cluster of Amaterasu Fire burned fiercely, like a pot of black filling.

Qing Shui held a piece of clay that looked like white dough in one hand and picked up a wisp of black flame in the other. After making a hole in it, he stuffed the flame inside and began to carefully seal the edges, even shaping a beautiful pattern.

With the help of Explosion Release chakra and sealing techniques, a powerful Amaterasu-style explosive bomb was created.

Why did you think of doing this?

While working, Aozumi talked to Tobirama, saying, "I've been researching the Amaterasu technique ever since I learned it..."

"Although it is a type of kaleidoscope eye technique and is very powerful, it also has many drawbacks."

"It requires drawing upon the power of the pupil to release it, and also requires focusing the gaze. When dealing with some enemies who are extremely fast or have outstanding perception, the effect of Amaterasu will be greatly reduced, and it may even affect the rhythm of the caster."

Tobirama Senju nodded silently.

Uchiha Izuna's Amaterasu initially put a lot of pressure on him.

However, after failing to defeat Tobirama Senju in their first encounter, Tobirama, with his extraordinary sensory abilities, developed a technique to predict Amaterasu. As a result, when Izuna Uchiha fought against him later on, he almost never used this eye technique.

"But these problems only arise when facing stronger opponents..."

Qingshui chuckled: "When the Heavenly Flame reaches ninjas below the Jonin level, its power is unleashed."

"With just a wisp of Amaterasu, the black flames' powerful adhesive properties are enough for it to use enemies as fuel to expand. And when these hellfires scorch the enemies, their struggles create a secondary conduction effect, flinging Amaterasu onto their own companions..."

"Even if you can endure it, ordinary ninjutsu cannot extinguish Amaterasu. Even rolling on the ground will only set your whole body ablaze."

"So, Tobirama, did my idea reasonably utilize Amaterasu's power?"

Qing Shui asked with a smile, but his hands didn't stop moving.

Another row of bombs was made, the manufacturing technique as skillful as a street vendor who had been selling dumplings for thirty years.

"That makes sense, it's quite reasonable..."

Senju Tobirama listened numbly to Aoshui's train of thought; even he was pondering a single question at this moment—

Isn't this a bit inhumane?

It's fortunate that Qingshui didn't appear during the Warring States period.

Even if Qing Shui didn't have the chakra of so many powerful individuals, his mental acuity alone would be enough to give anyone a hard time.

Imagine this: while the Senju and Uchiha clans are locked in a decisive battle, rows of bombs suddenly fall from the sky, some even carrying Amaterasu!

Who could possibly withstand this...?

Senju Tobirama pondered, not worried that ninjas from other villages would learn the technology and craftsmanship of this bomb.

This is not as simple as an ordinary detonator.

In the entire ninja world, only Qing Shui could have done it.

This small bomb incorporates three advanced techniques: the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Uchiha clan, the Explosion Release of Iwagakure, and the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

It can be described as a masterpiece that embodies the essence of Konoha's ancient techniques.

"Tobirama, consider this bomb a gift from me. You must have some regrets, not being able to use so many forbidden techniques on the battlefield..."

Aokiji patted Tobirama Senju on the shoulder and said magnanimously:

"Don't worry, I'll help you make a name for yourself! My success is entirely due to your upbringing..."

"So, in memory of you, the Second Hokage, whose Will of Fire was so outstanding, I originally intended to name this bomb Root Number One, but after careful consideration, I changed my mind and named it—"

"Tobirama No. 1!"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju's expression twisted in pain.

No, I do care about my reputation, but I'm not completely indifferent to it either!

If this thing were thrown onto the battlefield, the person it created would be so utterly ruined that they'd never recover in the ninja world, and would be utterly despised even in the Pure Land.

"What, Tobirama, don't you like it?"

Qingshui blinked, then hesitated before saying, "If you're shy, I can change it to Konoha Number One or Qingshui Number One, that's fine too..."

Tobirama Senju took a deep breath.

Konoha Number One... let's forget about it...

If this were named Konoha Number One, and the village kids thought it represented the Will of Fire, then things would be completely misguided...

If it were named Qingshui No. 1, that would be even more unacceptable.

In Tobirama Senju's view, Aoshui was the future Fourth Hokage. Although what he did in Root was not something the public could easily know, his overall reputation should still be positive. It was best not to associate him with such dark things.

Aozumi is the root of Konoha. Even though he is nominally the leader of the root now, he has only temporarily assumed this responsibility.

With a "if I don't go to hell, who will?" mentality, Tobirama Senju forced a smile and nodded repeatedly: "I like it, I like it... Aoshui, I like it very much!"

"I'm glad you like it, Tobirama. I believe that from now on, when people in the ninja world hear your name, they will all have great respect for you, the master of forbidden techniques..."

Qingshui said with a smile.

Tobirama Senju nodded numbly. It was hard to say how much respect he felt, but the entire ninja world would definitely remember him, even more so than the God of Shinobi.
