I'm in Konoha, and I started with Ashura Chakra.

Chapter 94 Yagyu's current talent, my name is... Hundred Faces!

After using the Mayfly Technique to leave the base, Yagyu did not immediately leave Otogakure and the Land of Fields, but returned to the place where he had just separated from his Wood Clone.

As soon as he emerged from the ground, Yagyu formed a hand seal and used Ice Release chakra to freeze the moisture in the air, creating an ice mirror that floated in front of him.

Immediately, Yagyu removed his red contact lenses, formed a hand seal once more, and a branch extended from his body, quickly transforming into a wooden clone with immense chakra.

Looking at the wooden clone in front of him, Yagyu smiled and said, "I'll leave the rest to you."

"no problem."

The wood clone formed hand seals, transforming into a black-haired, black-eyed youth. It was only missing the change in chakra that it had any connection to Yagyu.

Suddenly, the wood clone's black eyes transformed into crimson three-tomoe Sharingan, and a slight smile played on its lips as it declared, "From this moment forward, my name is... Hyakko!"

"Then it's up to you, Hyakmao."

Yagyu patted the wooden clone on the shoulder and once again used the Mayfly Technique to escape.

Meanwhile, the Wood Clone, disguised as a hundred faces, also used the Mayfly Technique to sink into the ground and go to the Land of Rice Fields to find a ninja with chakra, absorb the other party's chakra, and use the Impersonation Technique to completely complete the disguise.

Indeed, Yagyu's plan is not yet finished.

The reason he let Orochimaru and Kabuto go in Tanabata was not only to obtain the previous Hokage's training experience through Orochimaru, but also to allow Orochimaru to continue training Sasuke Uchiha. Meanwhile, he had his Wood Clone use the Impersonation Technique to disguise his identity and extract Indra's chakra from Sasuke Uchiha.

This was Yagyu's entire plan, and also the biggest reason why he didn't stop Uchiha Sasuke from leaving.

However, Yagyu no longer needs to do these things himself; his wooden clone can handle it.

To be precise, only the Wood Clone can do it.

Because Yagyu's true form is far stronger than the current Uchiha Sasuke, and Indra's chakra is the same as Ashura's chakra, both being the highest-level golden light orbs he has ever unleashed.

If Yagyu were to grind it himself, unless he had an incredible stroke of luck like when he first awakened the game system, he might not be able to get it even by Shippuden.

After all, those six years at the Ninja Academy are the best example.

The physical clone is the only thing that can increase the drop rate, and the task of getting Indra's Chakra can only be completed by the physical clone.

With the ability to disguise himself, the Wood Clone can absorb the chakra of others and disguise his appearance and chakra as theirs. Even if he uses Wood Release, no one will associate him with Yagyu.

If faced with an invincible enemy, as long as you buy yourself a few seconds, the wooden clone can immediately use the Mayfly Technique to escape underground.

Yagyu could have been more at ease letting him handle this difficult task.

After entrusting the long-term task of unleashing Indra's chakra to Wood Clone, Yagyu quickly returned to Konoha using the Mayfly Technique.

Jiraiya and Naruto had only been gone for a few hours when Yagyu made a round trip between the Land of Rice Fields and Konoha, demonstrating the speed of the Mayfly Technique.

The only spell that can be faster than this is a spacetime spell.

By the time they returned to Konoha, it was already dark.

Yagyu didn't rush to tell Hinata and Sakura the good news that Tsunade had agreed to take him as a disciple. Instead, he returned home, ate the dinner that Karin had carefully prepared for him, took a bath, sat cross-legged on the bed, and began to organize the previous Hokage's training experience.

Yagyu's previous ninjutsu talent was at the level of an ordinary person.

After Sakura unleashed her chakra control, she became a genius at form transformation. She could easily master simple nature transformations, but nature transformations of the level of Hard Vortex Water Blade required the use of her bloodline limit, Ice Release, to resolve.

Now, Yagyu is a genius in both form and nature transformation.

Especially in terms of nature transformation, Yagyu will become stronger and stronger in the future, and will soon be able to surpass form transformation.

On the way back, Yagyu created a large number of wood clones, sending them to various parts of the ninja world to absorb chakra from those who possessed it. They used the Disguise Technique to disguise themselves from the inside out, while simultaneously gathering intelligence about the ninja world and capturing ninjas to increase their chakra attributes.

As more and more chakra attributes are fused together, it won't be long before Yagyu's mastery of the Five Elements Release Technique surpasses that of Hiruzen Sarutobi and Orochimaru, the master and disciple duo.

Besides changes in form and nature, Yagyu, who possesses the talent of a genjutsu expert from Kurenai Yuhi and also has Ashura chakra and Sharingan, also has remarkable mastery of Yin and Yang attributes.

The current Yagyu can be considered an all-around ninjutsu genius!

With such talent, he is fully qualified to master all the forbidden techniques left behind by Tobirama Senju.

And Yagyu had indeed started training long ago, but he still had no clue what to do.

Because the explanations of forbidden techniques in the Book of Sealing only cover the principles and cultivation methods, without any more detailed insights.

Clearly, Tobirama Senju deliberately left none behind, wanting true geniuses to master the corresponding forbidden techniques.

For example, Minato Namikaze, who mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, and Orochimaru, who mastered the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.

Perhaps the spiritification technique that Kato Dan mastered was also invented by Tobirama Senju.

S-rank ninjutsu is a secret-level ninjutsu that no matter how much effort or talent one puts in, it is not guaranteed that one can learn it.

Although Yagyu's talent has transformed, if he specializes in a forbidden technique, he might be able to master it within a few years.

However, it is impossible to master a large number, or even all, of forbidden techniques within a few years.

Even if Tobirama Senju lost his memory and was given a second chance at life, he still couldn't possibly learn all the forbidden techniques in just a few years.

That's why Yagyu wanted to get their insights.

With their cultivation insights, the already exceptionally talented Yagyu would have a so-called shortcut to take.

If this shortcut doesn't work, once Yagyu completes the next experiment and confirms whether that method is feasible, there will be an even better shortcut to take.

But rather than taking an easier shortcut, Yagyu also wanted to see if he could master these forbidden techniques through his own efforts without relying on external cheats.

Only in this way will he have the confidence to try fusing the Bloodline Limit in the future.

Soon, Liu Sheng had organized these cultivation insights, dividing them into several stages, and he would then have his shadow clones assist him in his cultivation.

Immediately afterwards, Yagyu turned off the light and went to sleep.

The following morning, Yagyu asked Karin to invite Ino and the other girls to his house.

More than half a month has passed since Tsunade succeeded as the Fifth Hokage.

The Jonin were still busy, while the new generation, having finished their low-level missions, found themselves with some free time.

Team 8 and Team 10 are waiting for Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi to return from their missions. They occasionally receive notifications from the Hokage Building, asking them to complete low-level missions on their own or to work together on missions of moderate difficulty, such as a B-rank mission involving Team 8 and Team Might Guy.

However, both Yagyu and Nara Shikamaru are now Chunin, so they are qualified to lead teams to take on some low-level missions.

However, since Choji Akimichi is still hospitalized and Yagyu hasn't taken any action, both Class 8 and Class 10 are on leave.

Needless to say, Sakura had nothing to do after Team 7 disbanded, except for occasionally working as an intern nurse at Konoha Hospital.

So the three women were all at home, and after receiving Karin's invitation, they quickly arrived at Yagyu's house.

"Is it true that Lady Tsunade wants to take us as her disciples?!"

When Yagyu told the three girls the good news, Ino immediately rushed over to Yagyu with an excited expression.

Upon seeing Yagyu smile and nod, Ino jumped up with a cheer: "That's awesome! I'll be one of the legendary Sannin and a disciple of the Hokage from now on!"

Hinata and Sakura's beautiful eyes also sparkled.

Tsunade is an idol to countless women, and becoming her disciple is the dream of countless girls.

And now, the dream has actually come true!

If Hinata and Sakura weren't so ladylike, they probably would have cheered too.

Even so, they clenched their hands in excitement.

Seeing the three girls' ecstatic joy, Yagyu smiled and said, "Tonight I will hold an apprenticeship banquet at Tsunade's house. You will then respectfully address Tsunade as your teacher. Starting tomorrow, you and Karin will study under Shizune. Tsunade will personally teach you whenever she has time."

"If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

"Uh-huh……"

The three women nodded repeatedly, suddenly feeling a dizzying sensation as if they had been struck by happiness.

Not only can he become Tsunade's apprentice, but he can also come to Yagyu for help with anything he doesn't understand, and go back to the time when they trained together.

They wouldn't even dare to dream of such a scene!

Click!

Seeing the three girls, Ino, with their happy smiles and adorable silly grins, Yagyu couldn't help but take out his film camera and capture the scene.

"Hey—Yagyu, you're taking pictures of us again!"

"Delete the photos quickly, this angle must have made us look terrible!"

"Hehe... I got the camera! Quick, hold Yagyu down, I want to take an ugly picture of him too! Karin, come help me!"

Looking at the four beautiful women surrounding him, Liu Sheng couldn't help but laugh and say, "Let's all take a group photo!"

"Okay, okay..."

Ino and the other girls, who were originally playing around with Yagyu, immediately stood up, tidied themselves up, and then stood on either side of Yagyu, either behind him or sitting next to him, making different gestures for the camera.

With the help of the shadow clones, the five smiling people took their first group photo.

After the interlude ended, the five members of the Yagyu family went out of their house to buy ingredients for the apprenticeship banquet that evening.

Tonight, Tsunade's house is destined to be very lively.

------

Just as Yagyu was preparing for his apprenticeship banquet, Jiraiya, urged by Naruto, had to speed up and finally brought Naruto to the Land of Rice Fields. Through contact with the Fuma clan, they quickly learned the location of Orochimaru's base.

At the same time, Orochimaru also learned of Jiraiya's arrival.

After much deliberation, Orochimaru, just like in the original story, chose to abandon the base and move to another location with Kabuto Yakushi and Sasuke Uchiha.

After the Konoha Crush plan ended, in order to save face and take revenge on Orochimaru, Konoha had been searching for Otogakure ninjas on the border of the Land of Rice Fields, killing them one by one or capturing and interrogating them.

At this rate, finding this place is only a matter of time.

With the deaths of Kimimaro, the Sound Four, and Guren, the Sound Village was effectively defunct.

In addition, this underground prison holds a large number of ninja clans from the Land of Rice Fields who want to rebel against him. Once the ninjas from Konoha penetrate deep into the Land of Rice Fields, those ninja clans who have been intimidated by his military might will definitely choose to rebel.

Even if we defeat Jiraiya this time, there will be even more ninjas coming next time.

Instead of doing this, we should abandon this place, find another place to fully train Uchiha Sasuke, and wait until he is reincarnated in three years.

So Orochimaru and Kabuto began packing some important items and then took Sasuke Uchiha to another base.

When Jiraiya and Naruto arrived, Orochimaru and his group were long gone, leaving only a group of abandoned subordinates and members of the ninja clan in the underground prison.

Just like in the original story, Jiraiya and Naruto defeated Orochimaru's subordinates who had been abandoned or controlled by his cursed seal, rescued the surviving prisoners in the underground prison, and learned from a member of the Fuma clan that Orochimaru had already reincarnated into Genyumaru's body.

Naruto, who already knew that Orochimaru had a three-year cooldown period for each reincarnation, breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiraiya couldn't help but pat his head and chuckled, "Now you can rest assured and go out to cultivate with this immortal, right?"

"Um!"

Naruto nodded firmly, his eyes resolute, and said, "Three years from now, I will definitely stop Orochimaru and bring Sasuke back to Konoha!"

"Then go back and pack your bags, and say goodbye to your companions and classmates."

Meanwhile, Orochimaru and his group, who were heading to another base, suddenly encountered a figure blocking their path.

He was a young man around twenty years old, who looked to be the same age as Yakushi Kabuto, with black hair and black eyes, and wearing a black cloak.

Upon seeing this young man, Orochimaru, Kabuto Yakushi, and Sasuke Uchiha all had slight changes in expression.

The reason is simple: when they instantly teleported, they didn't sense this aura at all.

None of the three were weaklings; anyone who could evade their senses was definitely not an ordinary person.

Uchiha Sasuke subconsciously activated his three-tomoe Sharingan to examine the young man, and soon breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they didn't know how this guy had managed to evade their senses.

However, the opponent's chakra was not stronger than his own, let alone compared to Orochimaru's.

"Are you Orochimaru?"

The black-haired youth spoke up; he was none other than Hyakko, the alias of Yagyu's wooden clone.

"Who are you?"

Unlike Sasuke Uchiha, Orochimaru, who also sensed the intensity of the Hundred Faces' aura, did not underestimate this mysterious person who dared to appear at this time and confront the three of them directly.

The more unknown a person's identity is, the more dangerous they are.

After all, a ninja's battle is a battle of intelligence.

If the other party knows you, it means they are aware of your abilities.

On the other hand, they knew nothing about him, and no one could guarantee that the other side had a way to kill them instantly or the ability to restrain them.

really……

Bai Mao's next words immediately caused Orochimaru's expression to change drastically: "The 'Kong Chen' ring is in your hand, isn't it!"
