Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

"Just half a day ago, someone in the reconnaissance team happened to see the ice explosion." said the reconnaissance ninja.

"Has anyone investigated this in depth?"

"No, I only did some peripheral reconnaissance... Hanzo-sama, do you think this would be a ninja's method?"

"It's hard to imagine a ninja being able to do something like this, but...it can't be a natural phenomenon, right?"

No one could answer Hanzo's question. Everyone actually thought that it was a ninja who was behind this, but they just found it a little hard to believe for a moment.

"Come with me, let's go explore."

Now that they were there, they couldn't see anything just by looking from the outside, so Hanzo made a quick decision and led the reconnaissance ninjas deep into the ice forest.

However, after walking around inside, they found nothing except that their brains felt frozen hard.

"Could this... be Ice Escape?"

After some investigation, Hanzo proposed a hypothesis, but no one believed it.

"How is it possible that Ice Escape can be of this scale?"

The first Hokage had been dead for ten years, and after the battle with Uchiha Madara, he rarely took action, so the ninjas of this era had no idea what the first generation's Wood Release looked like.

If they had seen the first generation's Wood Release, they would not have any doubts about the scale of the Ice Release here.

"Let's evacuate first..."

"Reconnaissance team, focus on monitoring the situation here. Report to me immediately if you find anything unusual."

"Raise the alert level in the village and be ready to respond to emergencies at any time."

"Humph, I want to see who is causing trouble."

There was nothing wrong with Hanzo's response strategy, it was correct and conventional, and he was quite tough in his words... However, if Yu Zhen really appeared in front of him, he would definitely be unhappy again.

…………

Yuzhen released chakra and used large-scale ninjutsu just to cast a net to catch Orochimaru. In fact, this method was very effective. Orochimaru was frozen before he could jump away.

Yu Zhen had no idea that the traces left by his technique would cause panic in the Hidden Rain Village.

In general, Orochimaru is very unlucky. He has stayed in this era for such a long time, obtained so many resources, and studied so many ninjutsu. Whether it is attack, defense or means of survival, everything he has cannot be described as diverse.

However, with such a rich and diverse method, there was no stage to display it... He was killed instantly.

Even if he was given a little more time to perform before being killed instantly, Orochimaru would not be so unwilling.

It's too frustrating. Or maybe Yuzhen should have explained his strength in advance. In that case, why would Orochimaru make such arrogant remarks? He would have just run away with all his strength, using his once-in-a-lifetime flash, and maybe he would have succeeded.

In Yu Zhen's different space.

When Orochimaru woke up again, he found himself wrapped in the trunk of a big tree.

There was almost no chakra in his body, and when he managed to gather some chakra, it was instantly drained away.

He tried to use Wood Release, but was unable to control the tree that was restraining him.

"Don't waste your time, Orochimaru. I've already said it before. If the chakra is different, everything will be different... Wood Release is just an ordinary bloodline limit. Its attack properties are not outstanding at all."

When Yu Zhen saw that Orochimaru had woken up, he walked out of the house slowly and came to Orochimaru's side... He wanted to use Wood Release to control the tree planted by the Divine Tree Man. It can only be said that he has a rich imagination.

In the hands of an average ninja, Wood Release is only slightly advantageous when dealing with the tailed beasts, but is pretty average in other aspects... Oh, it also has an advantage in civil engineering.

There's no way around it, the chakra is different. In the hands of the First Hokage, Wood Release was a skill that allowed him to block and defend against the Tailed Beasts' most powerful attack, the Tailed Beast Ball. Hashirama even managed to play with the Tailed Beast Ball. Who could he blame?

Just like the Panbi Bracelet, the Panbi Beast Ball, at least Yuzhen feels that he is not capable of doing this kind of work now... Yuzhen does not have any special feelings for the function of the sacred tree or Wood Release, but Hashirama is an expert in Wood Release.

"Master Yuzhen, I didn't expect you to have such a hidden power..."

Orochimaru raised his head, staring at Haneki's Byakugan, wondering in his heart what was going on... Let's not talk about how Haneki got the Byakugan. Isn't the Byakugan the worst of the three major eye techniques? Why can he use the Byakugan to perform space-time ninjutsu?

Originally, Orochimaru thought that if he couldn't win, he could at least run away. However, Hashima was able to chase him relentlessly, which made Flying Thunder God a useless skill.

"You captured me and wanted to do something to me... Let me tell you right up front, don't expect torture techniques to work on me."

Of course, Yuzhen had no intention of torturing Orochimaru. Orochimaru was a masochist, and the more he was tortured, the happier he would be.

"Orochimaru, what do you think is the most important thing for a ninja?"

"It's undoubtedly life. Without life, everything is gone."

Orochimaru suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. His eyes flashed and he gave a correct answer in the usual sense.

Yuzhen shook his head, his gaze directed at Orochimaru's heart:

"That's for most people. For you, the most important thing is certainly not life, but knowledge..."

"Of course I won't take your life, because after you die, you might be resurrected by some means. Before coming to this era, you betrayed Konoha, and after coming to this era, you betrayed Konoha a second time. Therefore, as punishment, I will take away the knowledge you have mastered in this era."

Orochimaru's heart twitched. As expected, Yu Zhen knew about his experiences in the original timeline. However, Yu Zhen's method of punishment... was no more than the ten tortures.

"Master Yuzhen, how is it possible to do such a thing..."

"I can try it first. We have plenty of time to try anyway."

At this time, Yuzhen's Byakugan had turned into a Mangekyō Sharingan, and then Orochimaru began to panic.

Not to mention that he couldn't use the Sharingan at this time because he couldn't mobilize chakra. Even if he could transform into Uchiha Madara's Sharingan, he couldn't compete with Yu Zhen in terms of pupil power.

The body of a sacred tree, chakra at the level of a sacred tree, high-purity Yin-Yang escape technique, and the power of the Mangekyō pupils under the blessing of these three, how can Orochimaru resist?

Orochimaru lost his reason and indifference. Even a cold-blooded animal will have his balls pinched.

Just as Yuzhen said, Orochimaru is not really afraid of death, but some things are indeed more terrifying than death.

"Lord Yuzhen, let's talk it over... I surrender. I can return to Konoha and pass on my knowledge to the younger generation of ninjas!"

"Taking away the knowledge and intelligence I possess is detrimental to both myself and others, Master Yuzhen!"

However, it is a little too late to say these words now. We cannot only consider interests in everything, but also have to distinguish between good and evil... If you do bad things, you will always be punished.

This pair of Mangekyō Sharingan has the ability to accurately locate time. In a flash, Yu Zhen invaded Orochimaru's brain, and then he began to browse Orochimaru's memory like reading a movie film.

Yuzhen then transformed into an editor. When Orochimaru escaped from Konoha, he cut a frame, and then pulled out all the "films" after this frame and threw them into the trash can... What wrapped Orochimaru was a small sacred tree. As for energy, the small sacred tree could absorb anything.

After a series of operations, Orochimaru was restored to factory settings.

Of course, there were still signs of use on his body, including the abilities he mastered through the Impure World Soul Raising Technique. In fact, they had not disappeared, but... he only had the hardware but no software operating system.

If he is lucky, he will have the opportunity to retrieve this knowledge in the future, but he doesn't know how long it will take.

After processing Orochimaru's memory, Yuzhen was about to freeze him into an old popsicle and perform a traditional method of traveling through time, but then he stopped.

"Well, now that we're here, this is a rare opportunity. Let's cut something off... um, the frontal lobe, the frontal lobe is just right."

The operation is complete only after the memory and part of the brain are removed.

Anyway, with Orochimaru's recovery ability, having part of his brain cut off is nothing.

Chapter 213 Jinchuuriki

Orochimaru is an extremely lucky man.

Because people who can experience "turn off the phone and don't broadcast" and "skip life" are very rare. I have what others don't, and being rare is lucky.

After freezing Orochimaru into an old popsicle, Yuzhen returned to Konoha and took him into the old popsicle storage room. Then he could just wait quietly for the day when he would thaw.

Afterwards, after returning to the different space, Yu Zhen prepared to tidy up his own "garden".

First of all, Yu Zhen did not deal with the small sacred tree that he had planted earlier. He let this sacred tree swallow the previous "White Zetsu Street Lamp". After letting it grow taller, the whole tree began to emit a soft halo... Well, he just slightly improved the lighting effect in this range.

Then, he sorted out the "soil samples" he got from the three secret realms. The whole process was like bonsai landscaping. Yu Zhen didn't have much accomplishment in this area. He just made the vegetation on the mountain undulating and staggered.

In such a different space, the ecological environment from the three secret realms can probably be maintained for a period of time, and after this period of time, everything will undergo corresponding changes... The time in the different space is not stagnant, and things will of course change as time goes by.

Fortunately, Yu Zhen had an artificial light source, so the vegetation here would definitely not die completely.

Although the toad oil obtained from Myoboku Mountain may not be enough for Yuzhen to use forever, it is definitely more than enough for him to learn the Sage Mode... Therefore, this environment with abundant natural energy does not need to be maintained for many years.

After letting Orochimaru calm down, comprehending the natural energy and learning the Sage Mode became Yu Zhen's main tasks at this stage.

But what he didn't know was that he was not the only one who was feeling the natural energy in this strange space.

Jiraiya was born a commoner ninja, and his parents were not even Firefly ninjas. In a sense, he should be considered the true spokesperson of the "Konoha Dream".

Jiraiya was born in an ordinary family, but he had many adventures in his life.

A year ago, after he graduated from the Ninja Academy, he soon became the disciple of the third Hokage... Before becoming Hokage, when he was still a Jonin, Sarutobi Hiruzen had the habit of educating the next generation of ninjas.

Moreover, his way of selecting disciples is very interesting. The three disciples in each batch have almost the same pattern... one is of ordinary origin, one is of Firefly origin, and one is of the Great Ninja Clan.

Balancing the various forces in Konoha, or winning over the various forces in Konoha, in short, this approach is not bad, even if based on conspiracy theories, it is still a good strategy.

So even if the "Three Ninjas" could not get the title of "Three Ninjas", they still got together... No matter what, Tsunade must become the disciple of the Third Hokage, which represents a kind of inheritance.

Because Sarutobi Hiruzen was a disciple of the First and Second Hokage, he was able to become the Third Hokage thanks to the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju's strong advocacy. Therefore, in return, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to carefully train Tsunade.

Frankly speaking, this is a natural political transaction. It's hard to say whether it's a warm and affectionate thing or a cold and piercing thing, but at least on the surface it is warm and affectionate...

It is unbelievable that in the evil and corrupt Konoha, power only circulates within a small circle.

As for Genki Hamiya, who is more suitable than Tsunade, well, to be honest, Genki Hamiya looks down on the level of the third generation and does not want to be his disciple.

Aoi said:

"I'm not targeting anyone, I'm just saying to everyone here..."

Even Hanemiya Genkui looked down on his own father's strength, not to mention Sarutobi Hiruzen's... Ninjutsu professor? Haha, not even as good as one finger of the first generation, clearly illiterate in ninjutsu.

From this perspective, Jiraiya and Orochimaru, who are in the same class with Tsunade, are somewhat like accompanying the prince to study... Although the old version of Orochimaru has died, the young version of Orochimaru has just begun to become active.

In short, Jiraiya's first adventure was to become the disciple of the Third Hokage despite coming from an ordinary background and never showing any extraordinary talent.

Afterwards, he experienced his second adventure and accidentally went to Myoboku Mountain, where he met the Great Toad Sage and got the opportunity to learn magic.

Then came the third adventure. When he was "playing" on Mount Myoboku, the earth suddenly shook and it became dark.

At a young age, Jiraiya accidentally entered into Haneko's "soil sampling" activity.

At this time, Jiraiya was in Yuzhen's different space.

To be honest, this small operational error cannot be blamed on Yuzhen. When Yuzhen was moving the soil, there would always be some creatures mixed in. There isn't much else in Myoboku Mountain, but there are plenty of toads.

At this time, Jiraiya's chakra signal was really not as strong as that of the toad, so Yuzhen just regarded him as one of many toads.

I have to say that Jiraiya still has a certain level of professionalism. After being tossed around by the space-time ninjutsu, he didn't yell or scream, but tried to investigate the environment on his own and then judge his own situation... To be honest, this quality is a bad thing, he might as well have yelled or screamed.

Fortunately, Jiraiya will not starve to death in the mountains. Myoboku Mountain is rich in resources. The protein-rich and juicy colorful insect rice balls taught by Shima Sage are extremely nutritious.

There is no shortage of fresh water. In addition to mountain springs, you can also drink tree sap if that doesn't work.

So Jiraiya started "survival in the wilderness" in the different space, eating well, drinking well and sleeping well... He couldn't leave. In the completely closed different space, without an "entry and exit permit", he couldn't receive the reverse psychic chakra signal at all.

Before this, Jiraiya seemed to hear some wailing sound, but just as he moved towards the direction where the sound came from, the sound stopped abruptly.

Not long after, the terrain began to change on a large scale again. When everything calmed down again, Jiraiya himself didn't know where he was.

"What on earth is this place? Isn't this Mount Myoboku? Could this all be a test arranged for me by the Great Toad Sage?"

As Jiraiya was walking, he stepped into some kind of slime. The sticky texture made him quickly withdraw his foot without even stepping firmly... The environment here was obviously different from Mount Myōboku.

He moved forward cautiously, taking one deep step and one shallow step. After more than half a day, he was so tired that he just lay on the ground on his side.

Then he noticed something moving on the distant "horizon".

Jiraiya jumped up and after careful observation, he found that there was a big white fox frolicking in the jungle in the distance.

Jiraiya chased after it without saying a word. During this period of time, he had encountered various insects, reptiles and amphibians. When he saw the mammals for the first time, he instinctively became excited.

The white fox soon realized someone was chasing it... Hmm? What's going on?

It stopped running around and resumed its reserved pace.

Jiraiya's wishful thinking of catching a fox was a pipe dream. Now, let alone catching a fox, he couldn't even catch its tail.

After chasing for a while, Jiraiya found that the white fox was not getting closer to him at all. Then he realized that his two legs could not outrun the fox's four legs.

There was no choice but for Jiraiya to stay where he was. After he stopped, the fox also stopped, and the two sides began to stare at each other.

"Hey, White Fox, do you know how to get out of here?"

Jiraiya had no choice but to ask mammals for help... At least it would be more reliable than asking snakes and toads for help.

The white fox naturally knew that it was strange to see humans here, so it half turned around, pointed its mouth in a certain direction, and then began to nod slowly with its narrow eyes narrowed.

Jiraiya looked in that direction, and then he understood:
