Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

"Kakashi, you can feel it, right? You should be able to control the two chakra points in your brain more easily now."

Kakashi was slightly taken aback; he hadn't expected Furukawa Osamu to be able to detect it, and subconsciously asked:

"For ninjas, this should be a good thing, right?"

"It's definitely a good thing. This power will at least give you more chakra, but the price is the emotional issues I mentioned."

Osamu Furukawa didn't offer much explanation, but simply gave advice:

"The best solution is to live together! With Lin by your side, it will help you focus on what's in front of you."

"After you move in together, you can help each other, Kakashi..."

"Living together?"

Rin Nohara gasped, her face flushed, and realized she had interrupted Osamu Furukawa. Her face turned even redder, and she kept glancing at Kakashi.

Unexpectedly, this was the solution. Kakashi turned his head away embarrassedly, but seeing Furukawa Osamu's signal, he simply agreed verbally.

"Lin, you can stay in my apartment. There are plenty of rooms available, and I'll take good care of you."

"Ah! This... I..."

Nohara Rin exclaimed in surprise, twisting her body in confusion. If they lived together at the age of 12, wouldn't that mean they could get married at the age of 16?

The more she thought about it, the more embarrassed she became, but Nohara Rin didn't refuse. She lowered her head, avoiding looking at the three of them, and whispered in response:

"Alright, I'll go to Kakashi's place and take care of him for a while longer."

Shizune watched in stunned silence. She hadn't expected the two to be so bold. Suddenly remembering Tsunade's help, she subconsciously looked at Osamu Furukawa.

"Why are you suddenly silent? Are you feeling unwell?"

Furukawa Osamu touched Shizune's forehead, and the latter's face instantly turned red. It was unclear what she had thought of, but she hurriedly pushed open the door and left.

Nohara Rin couldn't take it anymore and immediately chased after them, leaving only Furukawa Osamu and Kakashi in the room.

"Kakashi, try to focus your attention on Rin, otherwise, in your current state, your emotions are easily manipulated."

"Especially the root area, you don't need to get too involved with it now. Danzo won't be kind enough to teach you."

"Once you can open and close the two chakra points in your brain at any time, your emotions will no longer be affected."

Kakashi paused slightly upon hearing Furukawa Osamu's words, then lowered his head with a look of guilt. For a long time, he had been influenced by the Root's ideology.

"I'm sorry, Xiu, I shouldn't have questioned my father."

“Ninjas are not tools; my father taught me this until the very end.”

“I can’t change the situation, but I shouldn’t manipulate life.”

Ignoring Kakashi's apology, Furukawa Osamu patted the other's shoulder and reiterated:

"Rest for a while longer, and stop thinking about your choices. At least Lin is still by your side. Go and properly thank her for the medical kits and amulets she's kept for the past few years."

Kakashi instinctively gripped the amulet in his ninja tool pouch behind him, and remembering Obito's instructions, he finally nodded vigorously.

-

Inside the dark, enormous stone cave, the White Zetsu began discussing the Five Kage Summit again. Obito Uchiha, who was exercising on the ground, was uninterested and focused on doing push-ups.

“In addition to the Kage, each village should also send out a young ninja with outstanding skills.”

"It's definitely Minato Namikaze and Osamu Furukawa from Konoha. It'll be very difficult for them to kill the Third Hokage!"

"Why kill him? The Hokage of Konoha has already passed the torch."

"I miss the Iron Country Peninsula so much. I always feel like that's where our home is."

The White Zetsu who chatted casually always managed to reveal some information, but Obito Uchiha didn't want to hear any of it because it had nothing to do with him.

Last month, Obito was still shouting and yelling, but after undergoing intense psychological interrogation, he is now completely numb.

Madara Uchiha witnessed Obito's transformation and was very satisfied with it. What surprised him even more was that Obito's ninja talent in his focus mode was also outstanding, completely different from what was reported in the intelligence.

"It looks like it won't be long before you break through that stone wall."

"Your talent is outstanding; you've even mastered the power of Hashirama's cells. Now you don't have to worry about your opponents being able to counter you."

"If there is a chance to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan in the future, there is no need to worry about too many problems with the eyes."

Madara Uchiha was giving his daily "routine lecture" again, which Obito had completely gotten used to. After finishing his workout, he lay on the ground, covered in sweat, ignoring the old man's nagging, and suddenly shouted:

"Grandpa, maybe you're right, I really will be forgotten by many people."

“But Lin won’t forget me, Kakashi won’t forget me either, and some of the old ladies I helped will remember me.”

"For their sake, I must leave. When you die, I will choose the best burial plot for you."

"This is how I repay you for your guidance. I don't understand those plans and destiny stuff. This is all I can do."

"..."

The cave suddenly fell silent. The White Zetsu stared blankly at Obito. Madara Uchiha was furious. He was indeed dying. His already aged body cells and meridians were all damaged.

Obito's words reminded Madara of Furukawa Osamu's contempt for him. He looked up at the boy with his scarlet eyes, and the boy quickly sensed that something was wrong.

"Uh, I really have no interest in learning about those things."

"As long as someone remembers me, I will go back. I don't want my friends to worry."

"With these eyes, Kakashi will soon be no match for me, and maybe Rin will even discover my charm..."

The oblivious Obito Uchiha became increasingly excited as he spoke. Madara Uchiha didn't interrupt the boy, lowered his head again, and muttered to himself:

"Keep fantasizing about this hopeless world, because soon I will make you feel the ultimate pain."

"Let's dance one last time, my people, don't let me down."

Obito Uchiha scratched his head awkwardly, relieved to see the White Zetsu had returned to normal. Hearing about the Five Kage Summit again, he couldn't help but think of:

"Is the war going to end? Lin should go work at the hospital so I can try to join the guard when I get back,"

"With these Sharingan eyes, the clan will definitely not refuse me."

Chapter 114 Only Bloodline Ninjas can...

In mid-December, the leaders attending the Five Shadows Conference began making their final preparations.

Under normal circumstances, the Five Kage would certainly not clash, but in order to prevent any accidents from happening, it is natural to prepare for the worst.

Inside the Hokage Building, Tsunade has recently taken over the position of teacher and handles daily affairs in a routine manner.

The two advisors didn't have much to do. Apart from some material allocation, most of the departments with real power were staffed by Tsunade's own subordinates.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could step down, the advisors lost their power. Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were helpless and could only pray for their old friend's safe return.

Danzo was also "praying" for his old friend. The reason he opposed Hiruzen Sarutobi's participation in the talks was because he was afraid that his old friend would suddenly die.

Without Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade no longer needed to consider her teacher's feelings, making it reasonable for her to purge high-ranking personnel.

-

In the afternoon, at the third training ground, Hiruzen Sarutobi, stretching his body, gripped his Vajra Staff and took several deep breaths. Enma, noticing his partner's condition, immediately teased him:

"Has your body deteriorated to such an extent that it's even become difficult to keep up with the younger generation's attack rhythm?"

"But that kid's ninjutsu is even more powerful than when you were young. Your ninjutsu has finally been passed down."

Osamu Furukawa is exceptionally skilled in using the Five Elements Ninjutsu, and can even activate some of them with a single hand seal.

With his mastery of compound ninjutsu, combined with shadow clones, Osamu Furukawa can become a ninjutsu "turret," making it difficult for ordinary ninjas to get close.

"Don't get distracted. Since you promised to only use physical techniques, stick to it!"

"It's coming!"

Clad in black armor, Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a low shout and charged forward, dragging his Ruyi Jingu Bang. Facing the flying fireballs, he either nimbly dodged or parried with his staff.

Seizing the opportunity, Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly extended his staff and swept it horizontally, but Osamu Furukawa calmly leaped into the air and launched his attack while simultaneously firing shuriken at lightning speed.

"That force! It hurts!"

The rapidly spinning Ruyi Jingu Bang deflected the shuriken. Enma complained again, but Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored him and continued to pursue and close in.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!"

The bullet-sized, high-pressure whirlwind flew toward Hiruzen Sarutobi at an extremely high speed. Faced with such a large-scale attack, the Third Hokage smiled wryly and could only use Earth Release ninjutsu.

The training ground was filled with loud bangs, and the erected earthen wall shattered into pieces. The power of Furukawa Osamu's Wind Release ninjutsu impressed the Monkey Demon once again.

"That's enough, fix it."

"I'm getting old, it's been too long since I've fought. It'll be hard to defeat you with just physical skills!"

"The timing of your ninjutsu release, the power of your ninjutsu, and the use of compound ninjutsu are all just right. Your talent is even better than Orochimaru's."

"To spare this old man's feelings, I haven't used any large-scale ninjutsu, and I haven't used my full strength in shurikenjutsu either, have I?"

As Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke, he beckoned Enma to appear. Enma patted his old partner on the shoulder and then burst into laughter.

"It's time to relinquish the title of 'Professor of Ninjutsu'!"

Wearing his Jonin combat uniform, Furukawa Osamu remained humble and eager to learn. He approached the Third Hokage and praised him, saying:

"The Hokage's taijutsu is flawless; there is still much I need to learn."

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head. He knew that Osamu Furukawa's taijutsu was no less powerful than his ninjutsu. Looking at the young man before him, the Third Hokage sighed:

"Xiu, don't lose yourself in the pursuit of power."

"A ninja's talent lies not in how many ninjutsu he has mastered, but in his unwavering perseverance."

"The more outstanding one's talent, the more one must maintain one's original intention. I did not teach Orochimaru well, which caused him to pursue ninjutsu for a long time and neglect true power."

"In a few years, you'll need to help Tsunade take on more responsibility. She can be lazy at times, and she's prone to gambling when making decisions."

"Although it's not nice to say that about your disciple, she needs your help."

Furukawa Osamu's eye twitched slightly. He had a feeling that Hiruzen Sarutobi was giving him his final instructions. Seeing that the old man wanted to continue, he had to interrupt him:

"Lord Hokage, with Minato and me here, there's no need to worry about this meeting."

"Although it sounds a bit arrogant, the Shadows shouldn't cause us too much trouble."

"As for the threat of the tailed beasts, we have already devised a strategy. We will be able to set off at the end of the month, but we need to make some preparations on the way."

Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed and stopped rambling, but after thinking for a moment, he still expressed his feelings:

"The talks shouldn't have happened. We don't know much about the Third Mizukage, and he probably isn't a proponent of peace."

"Although I haven't gathered any useful information, I still believe that Kirigakure has encountered a problem."

"Let's go. You and Minato still need to practice your ninjutsu. During this time, I will teach you in place of Jiraiya and Tsunade."

-

Late at night, in the underground laboratory on the west side of the village, Orochimaru looked at the improved version of Hashirama cells he had cultivated, a look of fascination on his face.

Yekura, standing to the side, turned pale; Orochimaru's expression always sent chills down her spine.

"Orochimaru-sensei, you seem to be paying extra attention to bloodline limits lately? Has something happened?"

After processing the data on the computer, Furukawa Osamu immediately asked out of curiosity. Orochimaru chuckled twice, a playful look on his face:

"As expected of Xiu, he noticed my changes."

"How have you been feeling about receiving instruction from Sarutobi-sensei lately?"

"Is he talking about the perseverance of ninjas again?"

Furukawa Osamu nodded, noticing the smile on Orochimaru's face, and earnestly praised him:

"The Hokage's ninjutsu and taijutsu are both perfect, and he also has his own unique insights into techniques."

"Especially the compound ninjutsu, which gave me a lot of useful advice."

"Shu, don't be deceived by this power. Composite ninjutsu is just a helpless move due to a lack of talent."

Orochimaru gave a dismissive assessment, but seeing that Furukawa Osamu still looked curious, he simply explained:

"You should have already witnessed the bloodline limit. We have been studying Yekura's power for a long time."

"Beyond this, there is an even greater power: the fusion of three bloodline limits, a unique legacy of Iwagakure."

"In addition, there is the legendary power, also known as the power of immortals."
