Naruto: My Ninjutsu is mediocre

The first time, after it grew to a height of more than 20 meters, it could no longer grow.

Then the sacred tree stopped growing, and the sacred tree hero "ripened and fell".

After Yu Zhen recovered, he started planting trees again. After repeating this cycle, Yu Zhen didn't expect that the quality of his chakra could improve again... As he adapted to the environment more and more, Yu Zhen's body became stronger and stronger, and the quality of his chakra also improved accordingly.

Therefore, during the fourth decade of Konoha's establishment, Yu Zhen lived in seclusion because of his passion for planting trees. Because of his seclusion, he almost disappeared from Konoha.

Since the establishment of Konoha, Yuzhen has not carried out any eye-catching missions. Since the Second Hokage period, the frequency of his activities has dropped by an order of magnitude again, and by this time he has completely disappeared.

For ordinary ninjas, the first leader of the Hotaru Organization and the important ninja who laid the foundation of the Konoha system is probably really dead... He is so old, it is indeed time for him to die.

It's no wonder that the Third Hokage was widely criticized. It was too unreasonable that he neither issued an obituary nor held a funeral for a ninja of this level who died.

Of course the Third Hokage had heard such rumors, but he felt very sad... If he held a funeral for Yu Zhen, who knows who would be lying in the coffin.

An old man who doesn't die is a thief. Why don't some ninjas understand such a simple truth?

However, Yuzhen's concept of time is somewhat different from that of ordinary people.

At this time, a towering tree hundreds of meters high is growing in the supergravity space. After growing for a while, this thing can be regarded as a world tree.

However, the next moment, the tree seemed to be demolished and began to "collapse" rapidly towards the center point. After dozens of seconds, the big tree disappeared, leaving only a small figure floating in the air.

Not to mention adapting to the gravity here, Yu Zhen can even take off here.

After countless trials and tribulations, his chakra has entered a state of being ordinary and returning to its original state. At this time, even if he no longer disguises himself, ordinary ninjas will not be able to notice that there is anything special about him.

Yu Zhen waved his hand and finally left this space and returned to his own different space.

After being freed from the constraints of hypergravity, Yu Zhen did not feel that he had become lighter. On the contrary, he felt that the whole world had become lighter... Well, in theory this description is more accurate.

"Well, through the further evolution of chakra, I have mastered all my abilities, except for one thing - the seven attributes cannot be integrated."

"Forget it, I won't dwell on it anymore. 'Proving the Way with Strength' really isn't working. Let's just go back to the traditional path of 'slaying the three corpses'. Being a human being isn't like being a donkey. Ultimately, you can't be too stubborn."

Yu Zhen was talking to himself here, and those who didn't know him would think he was practicing Taoism.

After feeling that he could not improve any further, Yu Zhen stopped worrying about it. Since he was already the strongest version of himself, he could then carry out the further upgrade plan that had already been determined - the so-called "Otsutsuki Hunting Plan".

Yu Zhen entered the unattended wooden house. He didn't care about the dust on the ground and sat down cross-legged on the ground.

After adjusting his state, he opened his eyelids, and a pair of dark red, crystal-like Mangekyō Sharingan appeared.

Unexpectedly, although Yu Zhen opened his eyes, his focus seemed not to be on the present world, but on observing an extremely distant place.

He was indeed looking at a very distant place, a place called "the future".

Of course, it is different from what most people understand as being able to see the future like watching a movie. What Yuzhen sees is something more abstract.

Or we can say that the future timeline is like the night sky, and the fate of future people is like the galaxy.

Like the stars in the Milky Way, each tiny light represents a future character... Why does Xiaoqi look like he is drawing a blind box when he is summoning "future hope"?

Because it is indeed a blind box draw.

Its brain capacity is just that, so it's probably just a little bright here and there.

Yuzhen observed the future and saw several exceptionally bright stars...

"Calculating the time, the brightest one should be Kaguya... I can't afford to offend Kaguya yet, so I have to start with the weak ones."

"Oh, this brightness must be Otsutsuki. Otsutsuki's chakra is indeed unique."

"Eh, this one is bright, but it can't be summoned a second time. It must be Otsutsuki Kinshiki. Kinshiki has become my Kinkela, so it can't be summoned a second time... There's nothing I can do. This is the disadvantage of a single timeline. If there were a parallel time and space, I could become the strongest by repeatedly eating, sleeping, and beating Kinshiki."

"So, we need to find the dimmest star among the Otsutsuki..."

Of course, Yu Zhen didn't want to bring the target back to the real world immediately. First, he needed to clarify the target.

He wanted to see through the illusion and truly observe the future. To be honest, this kind of identification was much more difficult than direct summoning.

However, if he couldn't identify it clearly, Yu Zhen wouldn't be able to summon it directly, as that would be too risky.

So he closed his right eye and focused all his attention on his left eye. As a large amount of chakra poured into the eye socket, the power of his left eye was stimulated to the limit and then exploded.

His sight traversed endless time and space, and saw a face belonging to a spirited young man who looked particularly worthy of a beating...

"Huh, it's you, Otsutsuki Urashiki."

If you want to see through the future, you naturally have to pay a price. Qimei's left eye has used up all its pupil power and is temporarily blind... But it doesn't matter. With the nourishment of Yin and Yang Escape, it will recover after a while.

What’s important is that Yu Zhen has determined his next goal.

Chapter 220 Otsutsuki Ichiraku

In the last moment before losing the sight in his left eye, Yu Zhen glanced at a certain summonable "starlight".

Because if the brightest starlight is regarded as Kaguya Otsutsuki, then the brightest starlight that appears almost at the same time as Kaguya on the timeline can be almost imagined.

In a nutshell, Yuzhen confirmed that Uchiha Sasuke was in a state that could be summoned by "Uma Shigamori", which means that some of Yuzhen's guesses were correct...

First, observers on the timeline cannot observe themselves.

Secondly, when summoning for the first time, the Sage of Six Paths did indeed tamper with the holder of Indra's Chakra... In other words, he also confirmed Black Zetsu's activities, guessed the possibility of his mother escaping the seal, and began certain preparations.

The deceased Sage of Six Paths was by no means omniscient and omnipotent, but as the guardian of the ninja world, he did have some skills.

"Summon... don't rush to summon. Better safe than sorry. At least wait until your pupil power recovers."

After confirming the target, Yu Zhen was not in a hurry to proceed to the next step. Although he regarded the Otsutsuki clan as those who had advanced to the Six Paths, he still had to take them seriously. If he made a mistake in operation and was killed by the enemy, it would be a big trouble.

This is different from dealing with Otsutsuki Kinshiki. Although Kinshiki is strong, his methods are very simple and he is easily restrained. But Otsutsuki Urashiki is different. Although he is relatively weak, he has the Rinnegan after all... Yuzhen still gives face to the Rinnegan.

After "taking root" for several years, Yu Zhen finally decided to leave the other space. He returned to the real world, ready to confirm the changes in Konoha and the ninja world over the years.

Yu Zhen appeared in Konoha Village again, and the place where he appeared happened to be stepping on the head of the second generation Hokage, Kage Iwa... It was a coincidence, absolutely a coincidence, Yu Zhen just appeared here subconsciously.

Returning from the lonely training space to the noisy world, Yu Zhen was a little uncomfortable for a while. After a long time, he left Shadow Rock and walked on the streets of Konoha.

Different from the last time when he emerged from the coffin with an aloof temperament all over his body, Yu Zhen now seemed to have returned to nature. When he was strolling on the street, he was no different from ordinary people, and basically no one paid special attention to him.

As he walked, Yu Zhen passed by the flower shop of the Yamanaka Ninja again. This time he did not go in, but just passed by by chance.

But what Yu Zhen didn't expect was that he saw a middle-aged man walking out of the store holding a bouquet of white flowers.

"Hmm? What are you going to do?"

Yu Zhen took a few quick steps, came behind the other person, and then reached out and patted the other person's shoulder.

The man shuddered suddenly and almost launched a counterattack as if in a state of stress. Fortunately, he remembered that he was on the streets of Konoha... Scaring people can scare them to death. No matter when and what situation a ninja is facing, it is impossible for others to approach him silently.

The other person turned around suddenly, and after seeing Yu Zhen's familiar face, his tense body finally relaxed. At the same time, a look of joy appeared on his expressionless face.

"Master Yuzhen, it's been a long time."

"Hideyuki, holding a bouquet of flowers? That's not your style."

Xiuzhi didn't explain much because he was preparing to go to the memorial garden.

"Lord Hama, let's talk as we walk... I have good news to tell you. 'Hideyuki' has become history. I have now returned to being 'Nara Hideyuki'."

In other words, he has almost completed the retirement procedures. As the saying goes, what the superior likes, the subordinates will follow. If Yu Zhen likes to pursue retirement, then his successor will naturally also like to pursue retirement.

"It's a good thing indeed. One always needs a break in life."

What Yuzhen said was exactly what Nara Hideyuki had expected.

"Well, I've handed over all my duties within and outside the organization. I've also given up my role as Konoha's advisor. Konoha has already entered a new era, so I have no reason to linger... As for matters within the organization, the successor I've trained is pretty good, so I'll let him take over."

For a ninja who has come through the war-torn era, the current Konoha has indeed become more and more unfamiliar. Various factors have caused Nara Hideyuki to feel increasingly powerless, so it is better to let go.

"Don't you feel any regret for the unfinished business?"

Yu Zhen didn't need to ask about the specific things, but he definitely knew that anyone who stepped down from the peak of power must be full of regrets in his heart, because there would always be things that he wanted to accomplish but had no idea how to start.

Nara Hideyuki thought for a moment, his thoughts wandering off to some unknown place. After a moment, he sighed and said:

"It's better to say that life is always full of regrets. Since there are regrets anyway, there's nothing to regret."

A person like him must have had the idea of ​​building Konoha into an ideal country in his heart, but in the end he had to give up this idea.

Because the further I go, the more I feel like there isn't even a like-minded person around me... I can only say that Lord Yuzhen sees things clearly and doesn't have any illusions at all.

After going through war and experiencing the ups and downs of life, Nara Hideyuki finally returned to ordinary life. Now he can meet Lord Yuzhen again in the mortal world. It can only be said that such an ending is satisfactory enough.

"By the way, Master Yuzhen, would you like to meet the current leader of Yinghuo? He is the tallest among the short ones. Among the ninjas of the same generation, he is quite good."

"The next generation leader? That's the one..."

"Hatake Sakumo, but I have doubts whether he is really from the Hatake clan."

Hmm? All I can say is that he still can't forget Gan Wencui.

Yuzhen thought about it for a moment, then shook his head:

"Now is not the time to see him."

Yuzhen has no connection with the young version of Hatake Sakumo. The only one who is familiar with him is the old version of Hatake Sakumo. That is to say, the time when the two meet should be the time when Hatake Sakumo is thawed... Look, Yuzhen respects time travel and the logic of the timeline so much.

Looking at the direction Nara Hideyuki was heading, Yuzhen already knew where he was going, but since he had no destination, he just followed Nara Hideyuki for a walk.

But as he walked, Yuzhen suddenly stopped because he saw something shocking among the streets of Konoha.

"Wait a minute, what is that?"

Nara Hideyuki followed Yuzhen's gaze and looked into the distance. He had no idea what Yuzhen was surprised about. There were just some ordinary shops and restaurants over there. Was it worth making a fuss about?

"Master Yuzhen, would you like to eat something first?"

Nara Hideyuki could only understand this much.

"Walk."

Yu Zhen walked over there without thinking. He didn't care whether he ate or not. After all, he had only eaten a few meals in thousands of years.

To his shock he saw a shop called "Ichiraku Ramen".

The store doesn’t matter, the key is the people in the store… The ramen chef inside is certainly not an “Otsutsuki Ichura”, but this sarcastic statement is not far off the mark either.

Yuzhen and Nara Hideyuki sat in front of the deserted stall and ordered directly:

"Two servings of clear noodle soup."

When the other party saw Yu Zhen, he vaguely noticed the changes in Yu Zhen, but he was not surprised at all... That's right, he is a "man from the future" after all.

The ordinary-looking ramen chef adjusted his chef's hat and began to fiddle with the dough.

"Your skills in entertaining guests are almost non-existent. You need more practice."

“…You have a point.”

The ramen chef said that it was indeed not the right manner to just knead the dough without saying anything.

"Why did you come to Konoha? Do you want to settle down?" Yu Zhen asked.

"I'm going to start waiting for people... Let's just settle down. There's not much to do in the ninja world." said the ramen chef.

"There's no need to pretend like that, it's too abstract."

"This is the best, because I don't remember ever seeing myself or feeling myself."

The ramen chef seems to respect the logic of the timeline more than Hane.

Well, although the young ramen chef is not "Otsutsuki Ichaku", he is "Kurama Ichaku".

The plot of "A Thousand Years of Waiting" is still going on, and the second act "XX Love Me Again" will be released soon.

"Even if you say so, the abstraction is still an abstraction."

Jiuwei Ramen House? Yuzhen found it hard to accept. Even if Jiuwei went to fry tofu, it would be more reasonable than joining the noodle business.

"Please enjoy."

Kurama ignored Yuzhen and just placed two bowls of ramen in front of Yuzhen and the other person.

Yu Zhen picked up the chopsticks, tried a few bites, and immediately discovered the reason why "Nine-tail Noodle Shop" was so deserted.

"Your technique is not good and your taste is problematic. You need to practice more."

"Looking for trouble? I heard that people in the service industry face all kinds of difficulties. Are you trying to test my ability to withstand pressure? Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble. I'm already old."

Kurama seemed to be more confident in his cooking skills, so he didn't understand what Yuzhen said.

"I didn't mean that. Is it possible that I was just saying that the noodles you made were terrible?"

Kurama took the noodles back to Yuzhen and tried them with a new pair of chopsticks.
