Reincarnated as Naruto, Garp template

"Of course I remember, you must become the freest person in the entire ninja world."

"That's right, I want to live freely, so I don't want this world to be ravaged by war."

At this point, Kazan's eyes even became somewhat sacred.

"How to achieve peace in the ninja world? I don't know, I have no answer in my heart. Jiraiya searched for half his life and still didn't find the answer, and maybe I won't find it in my lifetime either."

"However, I want to recreate the era of the First Hokage and use force to intimidate the major ninja villages. That is my current goal and my freedom."

"I want to become as strong as the First Generation Master!"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped smoking.

On one hand, what Kazan is saying now is his current expectation: to recreate the glory of the First Hokage era.

On the other hand, this wretched little thing actually called himself teacher!

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly realized that he couldn't bring himself to say "no" to Kazan's face.

"Looks like I have no choice but to run this trip for you."

"Please, Sarutobi-sensei. Of course, if it's really troublesome, it's fine if we don't exchange them; I'll think of another way."

Kazan himself doesn't even know just how manipulative he is right now.

However, what Hiruzen Sarutobi was thinking was, "Don't come up with another plan to rob someone's village. Konoha isn't a bandit group!"

Chapter 154 The Conditions of the Akimichi Clan

Hiruzen Sarutobi's movements were extremely swift.

Soon, the Dark Guard arrived at Kazan's home in the mountains behind him with news.

"Lord Kazan, the Hokage requests your presence."

"Oh, you've heard from me so quickly? Okay, I'll be right there."

Kazan told the Dark Guard to go back first, and that he would arrive shortly after.

A short while later.

Kazan returned to the Hokage Building.

This time, he walked properly and didn't cause any damage.

Upon entering, I saw Hiruzen Sarutobi and Torifu Akimichi chatting happily in the office.

Both were ninjas of the same era, and in their youth they accompanied the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, to the Hidden Cloud Village for that meeting.

Akimichi Torifu is now the head of the Akimichi clan and is responsible for the protection of Konoha.

"Kazan, you've arrived. This is my important companion, the current head of the Akimichi clan, Akimichi Torifu."

"Senior Wind Taker."

Kazan discreetly observed Akimichi Torifu, who was exactly the same as the Akimichi clan ninja he remembered—both were "plump."

“Take the wind, he is the Kazan I mentioned to you before.”

Akimichi Torifu nodded, his eyes gleaming as he stared intently at Kazan's muscular body.

"Hello Kazan, Sarutobi has already told me about your situation."

"In principle, our family's secret techniques will not be passed on to outsiders, not just you, Kazan, but to anyone."

"I see."

Kazan patiently talked to the other party.

Since the other party is willing to sit down and talk, it means that this matter is not really impossible.

It depends on what the other party wants.

"However, Sarutobi told me about your ideals, and I myself also long to see the peaceful era in which the First Hokage was alive."

They can be considered the most senior group of ninjas in Konoha today.

Having experienced the First Shinobi World War, the First Hokage and his ilk were still quite young when they were alive.

I thought the peaceful days would last forever.

An unexpected event occurred: after the First Hokage died after returning from his final battle with Madara Uchiha at the Valley of the End, the war quickly spread.

Only those who have experienced war truly understand the preciousness of peace.

As the clan chief, he did not want to see his people die on the battlefield.

Therefore, when Hiruzen Sarutobi found him and described that scene from the past, Akimichi Torifu was moved.

"For the sake of the village, and for the sake of my Akimichi clan, we are willing to teach you the Expansion Technique, provided you do not reveal it to others."

"but........"

"But what?"

Kazan knew things wouldn't be that simple.

He was even prepared to give up the Expansion Technique, worried that the other party might do something like force him to marry a female ninja from the Akimichi clan.

After all, if he did that, even if Kazan was half a member of the Akimichi clan, teaching him the Expansion Technique would be enough to satisfy his family.

In fact.

Akimichi Torifu did mention this condition to Hiruzen Sarutobi at the beginning, but Hiruzen Sarutobi rejected it outright.

Kazan is now considered the best successor to the Fifth Hokage.

Marriage is not a decision that can be made lightly.

"We have one condition."

"Senior Qu Feng, please speak."

Kazan was very polite, after all, he needed Kazan's help.

"I heard you've mastered a technique that allows you to quickly digest food?"

"If what you're referring to, Senior Feng, is the return of life, then it can indeed quickly digest food. Could it be...?"

"Yes, just as you thought."

Akimichi Torifu was very honest and admitted it.

After all, it's common knowledge that the Akimichi clan is mostly fat, so there's no point in hiding it.

"Our clan's techniques are very special. In addition to chakra, each use of the Expansion Technique requires a large amount of calories."

"Therefore, we Akimichi people usually consume a lot of high-calorie foods, which makes everyone's figure very... plump."

He paused for a moment, as if recalling something from the past, before continuing to explain the reason.

"To be honest, when I was a child, I was overweight, which made me somewhat timid and insecure. I didn't even have the courage to face the girls I liked."

It's understandable. Kazan was educated, and he often mocked the Akimichi clan ninjas of this generation for being as fat as pigs.

Silently apologize to the other person first.

"So, you want your life restored to change the Akimichi clan's problem of being overweight... uh, plump, due to a secret technique?"

"Not bad, you should be able to return my life, right?"

"It's possible to do it, but life isn't just about quickly digesting food; it's also about perfectly absorbing the energy from food, but..."

"Just what?"

"I don't know how to teach this technique."

"Forehead?"

Akimichi Torifu looked at Kazan, seemingly trying to discern the truth from the falsehood.

"What's the reason?"

“The reason…” Kazan thought for a moment, carefully choosing his words before speaking, “To be honest, I don’t know how I came to understand the return of life.”

"My appetite is amazing. I always eat until my belly is bulging. Hmm, even bulging than Senior Tokifumi's belly is now."

Akimichi Torifu asked impatiently, "And then?"

"Then, in order to digest the food in my stomach as quickly as possible and not delay my cultivation, I comprehended the return of life."

Yes, almost every Akimichi ninja encounters similar problems.

When he was young, he also wondered how he could maintain his figure while consuming high-calorie foods.

"And then?" Akimichi Torifu pressed.

That's all.

"Huh?" Akimichi Torifu was taken aback. "You mean you don't even know how you came to understand the Return of Life?"

"Ah."

"So there's no way to cultivate?"

"No, if I had to say, it would be to find a way to manipulate every cell in the body and accelerate energy intake."

How can one control every cell in the body?

"Understanding the return of life."

"........"

Seeing Akimichi Torifu's expression that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?", Kazan was at a loss for words.

Even in Garp's training memories, there are no clear records related to the return of life.

Like Luffy, he seemed to suddenly grasp the concept of returning life while eating, a process similar to when Kazan grasped the concept of returning life.

It all happened quite suddenly.

"Senior Qu Feng, I am not familiar with the method of cultivating Life Return. You can consider changing your conditions."

It's not that he doesn't want to teach, it's that he really doesn't understand the cultivation methods.

This thing depends on talent.
