Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

"Tolerance is a virtue" is not true!

More accurately, it was her ex-boyfriend who died young and was known for his "great tolerance."

That man who dreamed of being a protagonist but didn't have the destiny of one.

If I remember correctly, it was called "broken".

As for the surname.

Hey.

The surname "Kato" left a deep impression on Hagoromo Gengetsu, who had studied the works of many teachers in his previous life.

Even after so many years, he still remembered this minor character who only appeared briefly, simply because of the name "Kato".

"The art of spiritual transformation!"

Thinking of Kato Dan, Hagoromo Gengetsu immediately thought of the ninjutsu that made a fleeting appearance during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

This S-level soul technique, once activated, allows one's soul to temporarily leave the body, traversing and killing enemies regardless of distance, and also controls the opponent's body or enters the mental world of others—isn't this exactly what I need?

Yu Yixuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

That's it!

I must get it!

Since it concerned the grand plan of resurrection, Yu Yi Xuan Yue couldn't wait to get up and prepare to take action.

However, there is one more thing to confirm before that.

Where is the art of spiritualization?

Kato Dan is already dead. Even if he were to be resurrected through Edo Tensei, he could only be forced to fight, not made to reveal the cultivation method of the Spirit Transformation Technique.

As for the idea that you can learn and use the same ninjutsu simply by watching someone form hand seals?

Here, I'll give it to you with both hands.

Try tapping it and see if you can summon the Buddha.

The Spirit Transformation Technique was rated S-rank, not because of its effectiveness, but because of its difficulty in learning.

Learning ninjutsu is risky for ninjas.

Forbidden techniques are called forbidden techniques not because of their lethality, since a powerful fireball can also kill people.

More often than not, the cultivation process is highly likely to cause the cultivator to injure themselves or even endanger their life.

This is precisely why Konoha established the Book of Seals, stipulating that the techniques recorded within it cannot be disseminated.

Just like the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, if someone with an average amount of chakra uses it, they will immediately run out of chakra and die.

If there were no restrictions and everyone were allowed to train freely, more than 90 out of 100 self-important ninjas would die.

Not every ninja is like Minato Namikaze or Naruto Uzumaki.

That being said, Yu Yi Xuan Yue wasn't worried about not being able to find the Spirit Transformation Technique.

As creatures who live on the edge of death, ninjas would definitely record their ninjutsu and preserve it in their clans or ninja villages so that it could be passed down and prevented from being completely lost.

As a Konoha ninja, Kato Dan was certainly no exception.

Chapter 27 Searching for Tsunade

"An S-rank secret technique, and it's related to the soul. If I'm not mistaken, the Book of Seals of Konoha will definitely record it."

Yu Yixuanyue pondered.

The Book of Seals of Konoha certainly includes more than just the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique mentioned at the beginning.

The fact that such a large scroll could be used to record these forbidden techniques suggests that there must be many more.

Tobirama Senju contributed the lion's share.

The amount from other Konoha ninjas will also be substantial.

"Break straight into the Hokage's office and steal the Scroll of Seals?"

The moment the thought crossed Yu Yixuan Yue's mind, she decisively rejected it.

Although Konoha has suffered considerable losses, its status as the number one ninja village remains undeniable.

I'm not Naruto Uzumaki.

Given my current strength, if I were to attempt to steal the Book of Seals, I would most likely perish there.

Fortunately, if the path through the Book of Seals is blocked, there are other avenues.

"The Kato clan, I think I've heard of them before, but they were so small they could be completely ignored. Kato Dan should still have descendants. Is their name... Shizune?"

Yu Yi Xuan Yue thought of the black-haired woman who had always been by Tsunade's side.

If he remembered correctly, Kato Dan was Shizune's uncle.

Shizune's parents were also Konoha ninjas, but like Dan Kato, they died in the war.

After being left all alone, Shizune was taken in as a disciple by Tsunade and was taken with her when she left Konoha.

"From this perspective, only Shizune remains of the Kato clan."

Otherwise, given Tsunade's aversion to trouble, if Shizune still had elders in her family, she wouldn't have taken such a young girl with her when she left the village.

Although only one person remains, the family legacy will still be left behind.

Kato Dan's unique S-rank spiritualization technique is not only recorded by the village itself, but Shizune, as his only descendant, will most likely inherit it as well.

As for why Shizune wasn't shown in the original work...

Some ninjutsu cannot be learned simply by obtaining the scroll.

Just like textbooks used in nine years of compulsory education, some people can easily grasp them after reading them once, while others, no matter how hard they try, find them like gibberish.

Obtaining a peerless martial arts manual doesn't mean you'll be invincible in this world.

More likely, you'll go astray while practicing and suddenly die.

It's highly likely that Shizune possesses the spiritualization technique she needs.

Furthermore, it's not impossible that she might be Tsunade, his ex-girlfriend.

It's like a poor boy winning over a princess, and in order to bridge the gap between them, Kato Dan gives Tsunade his most important spiritualization technique.

Faced with these two possibilities, Yu Yi Xuan Yue decided that, whether she had to be forceful or gentle, she would first try her luck with Tsunade and the other woman.

Anyway, it's easy to find them.

Ask around at various casinos and moneylenders; you'll get news soon.

No longer feeling sleepy, Yu Yixuanyue didn't linger and disappeared from the Valley of Fallen Gods in a flash.

The mountain wind howled, and the two enormous statues, faintly visible under the moonlight, continued their silent standoff, just as they had for decades.

While Yui Gengetsu was searching for Tsunade, others also set off with the same goal.

"set off!"

At the gates of Konoha, carrying his luggage and his hard-earned toad wallet, the energetic Naruto Uzumaki waved his hand and embarked on a journey to find Tsunade with the perverted sage Jiraiya.

At that moment, he only knew that he had to find someone who could heal Sasuke and Thick Eyebrows, and he didn't know that he was actually looking for the Fifth Hokage who had already been appointed in the village.

I imagine the scene will be quite spectacular when we meet.

the other side.

With his hands sealed by the Reaper Death Seal, Orochimaru, suffering excruciating pain as if burned, escaped the Konoha pursuers and returned to his secret base. After trying various methods to cure himself to no avail, he...

Because he was eyeing Uchiha Sasuke, and unwilling to immediately undergo the Reanimation Jutsu, he took Kabuto Yakushi to find Tsunade, the most skilled healer in the ninja world, so that she could heal his hands.

"I am ashamed to admit that I am not as skilled as Lady Tsunade in medicine."

As fellow medical ninjas, Kabuto Yakushi highly regarded Tsunade's medical skills as the best in the ninja world.

only.

Kabuto adjusted his round-framed glasses and looked at Orochimaru, whose arms were slumped limply beside him, with a puzzled expression:

"Lord Orochimaru, how can you be so sure that Lady Tsunade will heal your hands?"

As a rogue ninja of Konoha, Orochimaru, who killed the Third Hokage and caused considerable losses to the village, was clearly not favored by Tsunade.

Orochimaru smirked and replied in a hoarse voice, "Because I will give her conditions that she cannot refuse. The regained family and love, the two most beautiful emotions in the world, who could refuse?"

"I see."

The pharmacist's eyes lit up behind his glasses.

Thinking that he would soon be Orochimaru's hands, using the techniques he had learned from Orochimaru, a smirk appeared on his lips as he said:

"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique, it's truly an unimaginably great technique!"

Even the greatest techniques need to be taken seriously.

Orochimaru suddenly thought of Hagoromo Gengetsu, who had escaped his control, and asked with a flash of his eyes:

"Any news about Yu Yi Xuan Yue?"

Yakushi Kabuto shook his head: "There hasn't been any. On the contrary, we've discovered that many forces, including Konoha, Kumogakure, and Kirigakure, are investigating this person's movements."

Orochimaru was not surprised.

Once a seasoned veteran like Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who emerged from the Warring States period, goes into hiding, finding him is never an easy task.

"Never mind. The most important thing now is to find Tsunade."

No longer thinking about it, Orochimaru gritted his teeth and cursed the old man in his heart as he felt the burning pain constantly emanating from his arms, a pain even he himself found unbearable, and gave the order.

"Let's go, Tanabata Street!"

"Short Book Street?"

Inside a casino, outside the door, people were excitedly rolling dice and shouting, while inside, there was a chorus of groans and cries.

The only one standing in the room, Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who had transformed into an ordinary middle-aged man, skillfully pocketed bundles of cash. Looking down at the loan sharks on the ground, who had been fierce and menacing before but were now trembling with fear, he asked without a trace of pity:
