The Uchiha Clan's Sun

The magazine of this gun is also unusually large, and its shape and structure are more like those of a revolver.

"Because of my limited personal ninja talent, I've long wanted to develop a ninja tool that can enhance a ninja's strength, such as a tool that allows people to use ninjutsu without chakra, without hand seals, and without developing chakra attributes!"

Once the introductions began, Tono Kazusuke relaxed considerably, becoming less reserved and launching into a lively discussion.

"For this reason, I developed chakra capacitance technology!"

"The so-called chakra capacitor technology is a special technology for storing chakra!"

"By using a chakra capacitor, the chakra needed to cast ninjutsu can be stored in it. After loading the ninjutsu into a miniaturized scroll, the sealed technique can be released when needed. As long as you know how to use the machine, even if you don't know how to use ninjutsu, you can still cast the ninjutsu in the scroll!"

......

As Tono Fusuke spoke, he became more and more excited. His eyes seemed to see the scene of his technology shining brightly in the future, and his expression became more and more excited. His whole body seemed to be glowing!

Uchiha Jin chimed in, "What you're describing does resemble the Uchiha clan's secret technique, the Transcribing Seal!"

"Translation seal?" Tohno Hosuke was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What's that?"

Uchiha Jin explained, "It's a technique where the Sharingan user seals a 'jutsu' into their own or the target's eye by making eye contact with the target. When the 'conditions' are met, the seal will automatically release, and the 'jutsu' will automatically be activated to attack the target or be used for other purposes."

Tono Kazusuke exclaimed in astonishment, "There's actually such a technique in this world? It's...it's...it's unbelievable!"

The Transcription Seal that Uchiha Jin mentioned was not only very similar to the goal he wanted to achieve, but practically identical!

This ambiguous feeling struck Tono Kasuke as very strange.

"Susanoo, Izanagi, Izanami... and now there's a transcription seal..." Orochimaru licked his lips, excitedly exclaiming, "King Jin, your Uchiha clan is truly a treasure trove! No one will ever know how many things your Uchiha clan is still hiding!"

"Who knows?" Uchiha Jin shrugged and looked at Tono Katsuke, saying, "Tono Jonin, you can continue!"

Tono no Kazusuke nodded, picked up the oddly shaped gun in his hand, and continued, "I have successfully developed the chakra capacitor technology, but there is still a very serious problem: the capacity of the chakra capacitors I can make is limited. I can't even release a lowest-level D-rank ninjutsu; at most, I can only release some of the five elemental elements!"

"And it was at this moment that Lord Uchiha Jin's design for firearms provided me with a great deal of inspiration!"

"When the chakra capacity cannot be increased temporarily, other methods can be used to compensate for its lack of power!"

"And Lord Uchiha Jin, your design for firearms is the best choice!"

"I've already made some finished products! This one in my hand is the first type of ninjutsu bullet launcher!"

Uchiha Jin understood Tohno Kakusuke's idea, which can be summarized as enchanting the bullets!

A fusion of technology and ninjutsu!

Uchiha Jin was also quite excited; Orochimaru had truly given him a huge surprise!

Uchiha Jin shrugged at Tono Kazusa and said, "No need for further words, please begin your performance!"

Tono nods and says to Inuzuka Akita, who is standing next to him, "Akita, take out the bullets!"

"Yes!"

Akita Inuzuka immediately untied the other storage scrolls one by one, took out dozens of specially made bullets that were as long as a cigarette box and three centimeters thick, and handed one of the bullets with the character "fire" engraved on its surface to Tono Kazusuke.

Tono Kazusuke took the bullet and put it into the magazine, while explaining, "This Type 1 ninjutsu bullet launcher has a capacity of twelve rounds. You can pre-select the type of ninjutsu bullets to fire or reload them on the spot."

"Since we're going to demonstrate the effects of various ninjutsu bullets, I didn't preload them; I'll just fire them one at a time!"

"This is Fire Release: Bullet Number One!"

With that, Tono Fusuke raised his gun and pulled the trigger on a wooden stake in front of him!

With a muffled 'bang', a bullet, trailing a flame, shot out and struck the wooden stake, exploding into a huge fireball!

On the surface, it seems to be just an ordinary cannonball, but judging from its long-lasting flames, this bullet does indeed possess some characteristics of fire-style ninjutsu!

Tono Kazusuke explained, "Fire Release: No. 1 Bullet is the most powerful of all existing ninjutsu bullets, equivalent to the power of seven to eight explosive tags exploding simultaneously, enough to pose a fatal threat to all ninjas!"

"Of course, this is still a trial version, and there is still a lot of room for improvement!"

"Next up is Wind Release: Bullet Number One!"

As he spoke, Tono Kazusuke took another bullet from Inuzuka Akita, loaded it into the ninjutsu bullet launcher, and pulled the trigger.

With another 'bang,' a bullet shot out, shattering upon impact with the wooden stake. The resulting blast created a powerful gust of wind, not only carrying shrapnel in all directions but also dispersing the surrounding dust.

"While the Wind Release No. 1 Bullet may not be as powerful as the Fire Release No. 1 Bullet, it surpasses it in attack range and density, making it suitable for attacking fast-moving and numerous enemies!"

"Then there's Lightning Release No. 1 Bullet. Its attack power is not as strong as Fire Release No. 1 Bullet, and its attack range and density are not as good as Wind Release No. 1 Bullet, but it is unique in its penetrating power and is suitable for attacking single enemies with strong defense!"

"There's also Earth Escape No. 1 Bullet, which is an auxiliary bullet. It's slightly lacking in offensive capabilities, but it has certain limiting effects, such as blocking the enemy's vision and hearing."

"Finally, there's the Water Release: No. 1 Bullet, which is also an auxiliary bullet, with an effect more inclined towards restraint..."

......

Chapter 305 Secret Technique Bullets!

Tono Kazusuke demonstrated the most basic five elemental ninjutsu bullets one by one. Apart from the Earth Release No. 1 Bullet and the Water Release No. 1 Bullet being somewhat weak, the other Fire Release, Wind Release, and Lightning Release ninjutsu bullets were quite good.

Tono Kazusa seemed to have seen through Uchiha Jin's thoughts and quickly explained, "Lord Jin, don't be fooled by the fact that the Earth Release No. 1 Bullet and the Water Release No. 1 Bullet are not performing as well as expected. The Water Release No. 1 Bullet's effect will cancel out the original effect of the bullet, but this is only temporary!"

"Because my chakra capacitor technology is not yet perfect and has limited capacitance, I can only achieve the most basic elementalization!"

"Once our chakra capacity increases in the future, each ninjutsu bullet will be imbued with a complete ninjutsu. At that time, the power and effect of Earth Release and Water Release ninjutsu bullets will also increase, and they will definitely not be inferior to ninjutsu bullets of other attributes!"

Uchiha Jin nodded without saying anything more.

He naturally knew all of this, since in the original story, Tono's technique shone brightly after the Fourth Shinobi World War, and Boruto Uzumaki even used it to excel in the Chunin Exams, winning several rounds of the exams.

However, at that time, the capacity of the chakra capacitor was still a major problem for Tono Kakusuke, preventing him from displaying more powerful ninjutsu.

Uchiha Jin looked at the other bullets Inuzuka Akita was holding and asked, "Are there any other ninjutsu bullets with different effects? Or are they all ninjutsu bullets of the Five Elements type?"

Tono Kazusuke shook his head and said, "Of course not, I also rushed to produce some special blood-stained ninjutsu bullets and secret technique bullets! Akita!"

As he spoke, Tono Kazusuke took another bullet from Inuzuka Akita and introduced it, "This is Ice Release Bullet No. 1, made based on the Ice Release bloodline within the Minazuki clan of Kirigakure!"

Orochimaru also spoke up at the opportune moment: "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, King. If it weren't for the experimental subjects you provided, I wouldn't have been able to master the power of Ice Release: Bloodstained Release!"

With a 'bang', Ice Release No. 1 bullet was fired from the ninjutsu bullet launcher in Tono Kazusa's hand, and struck a wooden stake not far away, bursting out a burst of cold air that froze an area of ​​about three meters in radius!

Tono Kazusuke explained, "Because the characteristics of Ice Release ninjutsu and firearms are somewhat mutually restraining, I deliberately reduced the amount of gunpowder used in Ice Release No. 1, using most of the explosive power of the gunpowder to propel Ice Release No. 1!"

Uchiha Jin nodded; the Ice Release: Bullet No. 1 was quite effective.

"Then came Explosion Release No. 1, Storm Release No. 1, Scorch Release No. 1, Lava Release No. 1, Boil Release No. 1..."

Tono Kakusuke then began to demonstrate various blood-attribute ninjutsu bullets, and the effects were all very good!

In particular, the Boiling Release No. 1 Bullet, made from the Boiling Release bloodstains of Kirigakure, exploded and scattered acid mist that directly covered an area of ​​tens of meters in radius, causing severe corrosion to everything within it!

With this power and these effects, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it some kind of biological weapon!

"Next up are the various secret technique bullets, but due to insufficient chakra capacitor capacity, these secret technique bullets can only be considered as semi-finished products!"

Tono Kazusuke took another secret technique bullet from Inuzuka Akita and introduced it, "This is the prototype of the Super Beast Imitation Painting No. 1 Bullet, Black Sparrow!"

With a 'bang', a ninja bullet shot into the air, exploded, and transformed into a palm-sized, black sparrow that flapped its wings and flew away.

Tono Hosuke explained, "Super Beast Imitation Painting is a secret technique that involves injecting chakra into specially made ink, drawing objects in a painting style, and then summoning them to fight alongside you."

"Its power mainly depends on the amount of chakra injected, and this black sparrow is merely a manifestation of this technique; it has no offensive power whatsoever..."

As Tono Fusuke was speaking, the black sparrow in the sky above the training field suddenly turned into a blob of ink and fell down.

“Well, that’s what I wanted to say,” Tono Fusuke pointed to the spilled ink and said, “The problem with the lack of continuity still lies in the capacity of the chakra capacitor.”

“I understand,” Uchiha Jin nodded and said, “There’s no need to demonstrate the remaining ninjutsu bullets. In short, the biggest problem now is that the chakra capacitor’s capacity is insufficient, right?”

Tono no Kazusuke nodded and said, "That's true for now."

"If it's just the Fire Release No. 1 Bullet, Wind Release No. 1 Bullet, Lightning Release No. 1 Bullet, and Boil Release No. 1 Bullet, is it possible to mass-produce them now?"

Uchiha Jin asked the question that was most concerning to him at the moment.

Tono Kazusuke's technology is indeed very good, but if it cannot be mass-produced, then it is like a useless tool!

After all, while Tono Kakusuke's techniques can greatly enhance the strength of an ordinary person or even a genin, for elite ninjas, the enhancement is not so great as to change their fighting style!

Unless Tono Kazusuke's technology can be mass-produced and used to arm a large number of ordinary people!

After thinking for a moment, Tono Kazusuke said with certainty, "Although I have been developing various ninjutsu bullets these past few days and have not attempted mass production, I feel that it is not difficult to achieve mass production!"

"Give me a month... no, with sufficient funds, I can definitely manufacture several production lines in just half a month!"

Tono Kazusuke, naturally, patted his chest and made a guarantee to Uchiha Jin regarding this hard-won opportunity.

Orochimaru glanced at Uchiha Jin and said, "Shugo, you can't be too sure of yourself! These products of yours are still in the experimental stage, and it will take time to perfect these technologies, let alone mass-produce them!"

Orochimaru had no other intentions; he only spoke up to defend Orochimaru out of a sense of excitement at seeing an opportunity.

Uchiha Jin smiled at Orochimaru and said, "Senior Orochimaru, there's no need for that. Although I'm eager for results, I won't force things or drain the pond to catch all the fish!"

"I will give you the funds and the time. As long as you don't slack off, all I want is results!"

The worst thing in anything is for an outsider to instruct an expert. Therefore, Uchiha Jin would not interfere too much with Tono Kakusuke's research, nor would he put too much pressure on them!

Upon hearing this, Tono Kazusuke relaxed a little and jokingly said, "Don't worry, Lord Jin. I've been idle for many years, and it's only recently that I've finally gotten busy again. I will definitely not forget my original intention!"

Uchiha Jin took the opportunity to share some of his ideas and insights with the group. Although they were just some concepts, they provided them with some good ideas and research directions.

The four of them discussed until the early hours of the morning before dispersing to go back and rest, in preparation for Minato Namikaze's inauguration ceremony the next day!

Chapter 306 Minato Namikaze Takes Over!

Ten o'clock in the morning.

The warm sunlight pierced through the clouds, bathing Konoha Village in its glow. Minato Namikaze stood alone atop the Hokage Rock, overlooking the bustling village below. A gentle breeze ruffled his dazzling golden hair, like flowing sunlight.

With time of the essence, Minato Namikaze sought an audience with the Daimyo of the Land of Fire at dawn. After completing the Hokage appointment process, he finally returned to Konoha before nine o'clock in the morning.

However, in order to allow some time for maneuver, Minato Namikaze's inauguration ceremony for Hokage was scheduled for 11:00 AM, giving Minato two hours to rest and prepare.

With other trivial matters being handled by Nara Shikaku and others, Minato Namikaze, having nothing else to do, went to the Hokage Rock to relax.

Becoming Hokage had always been Minato Namikaze's dream, and now that his dream had come true, it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous!

Minato Namikaze took a deep breath and looked at the face of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, below him.

The sunlight slanted down, casting a golden glow on one half of Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, making it appear majestic and solemn. The other half, however, remained in shadow, obscuring its full form and adding an air of mystery.

"Sometimes living too long isn't necessarily a good thing. After all, the longer you live and the farther you go, the easier it is to forget the path you came from and your original heart..."

Minato Namikaze murmured something under his breath, his feelings quite complicated.

Personally speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi treated Minato Namikaze very well and indeed groomed him as his successor, so Minato Namikaze was very grateful to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

However, from a just standpoint, Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule also permeated Konoha with an aura of decay. The people had suffered under Hiruzen for too long, and the village of Hiruzen Sarutobi and his men had become an obstacle to Konoha's development. Minato Namikaze did not want to see his beloved village continue to decay under Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule!

"Perhaps Jhin was right; letting the Third Hokage die with honor was the best end for him..."

Minato Namikaze murmured something under his breath, then looked away at the new Hokage Building below.

Thanks to the efforts of all the ninjas, the crater caused by yesterday's battle has been filled in, and the new Hokage Building has risen from the ground under Tenzo's Wood Release ninjutsu, just like the original Hokage Building.

"Minato-sama."

Just then, an ANBU member appeared in an instant, knelt on one knee, and said, "The latest news from the medical team is that the Third Hokage and the two elders' injuries have stabilized after several surgeries, but their consciousness has not yet recovered, so they will not be able to participate in this inauguration ceremony."

"I understand."

Shuimen closed his eyes briefly, his knuckles turning slightly white.

Because of yesterday's events, rumors are spreading throughout the village.

Some worry whether the Third Hokage can recover, while others speculate that the Hidden Cloud Village or the Hidden Stone Village are secretly plotting a new war.

As the soon-to-be Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze must shoulder the weight of the entire village alone without the support of any former powerful figures.

The ANBU ninja continued, "Also, Lord Shikaku said the ceremony is about to begin and he wants you to go to the Hokage Building to familiarize yourself with the procedures."

Minato Namikaze turned around, his face regaining its gentle yet firm expression, and said, "Thank you for reminding me. I'll go back and make preparations now."

......

A few minutes later, Minato Namikaze stood in the corridor of the Hokage Building. Through the window, he could see that the plaza in front of the Hokage Building was already packed with villagers. His disciple, Kakashi Hatake, was leaning against the wall, waiting for him.

"Teacher, are you nervous?"

Kakashi Hatake's gaze held an unusual warmth, and also contained a hint of excitement.

Minato Namikaze smiled, the lines at the corners of his eyes smoothing out: "It would be a lie to say I'm not nervous. This responsibility is heavier than I imagined."
