Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

The four arrived at a river outside Konoha Village.

Arashi Akira looked at Kushina and said:

“Kushina, you go and teach Nonoyu how to climb trees and walk on water first.”

“Mikoto, you come with me.”

Arashi Akira and Mikoto came to a large tree.

Reaching out to touch the tree, two chairs instantly grew out of the trunk of the tree.

“Sit.”

Mikoto reached out to touch the chair that grew out of the tree and found that it was real, not a genjutsu.

As expected, just like the clan leader said, he possesses Wood Release!

I can actually become a student of a Wood Release ninjutsu user, I’m so lucky!

“Mikoto, have you awakened your Sharingan?”

“Not yet, teacher…” Mikoto shook her head.

Not everyone in the Uchiha clan can awaken their Sharingan; it requires talent. There are many clan members like Mikoto who haven’t awakened it by the age of twelve.

“Then I’ll help you awaken it first.”

“Ah?” Mikoto was stunned.

It was the first time she had heard that the Sharingan could be awakened with someone else’s help.

“Teacher, is that really possible?” Mikoto asked excitedly.

“Of course, close your eyes and extend your hands.”

Hearing this, Mikoto quickly closed her eyes and extended her hands.

Arashi Akira held Mikoto’s hands, and Mikoto’s delicate body trembled.

She was nervous and excited.

A very special chakra flowed into Mikoto’s hands.

Flowing along her arms towards her eyes.

Mikoto suddenly felt a large amount of chakra filling her eyes, constantly stimulating them.

Her eyes were changing.

Suddenly, Mikoto opened her eyes.

Everything around her became very clear. Some details that were originally invisible were now clearly visible.

This is…

Mikoto couldn’t hide the excitement and joy in her heart and exclaimed:

“I’ve successfully awakened it!”

“Thank you, thank you, teacher!” Mikoto excitedly hugged Arashi Akira.

But she quickly realized that this might not be appropriate, not very reserved, and might leave a bad impression on the teacher.

Mikoto’s face turned red, and she quickly let go of Arashi Akira.

She lowered her head and whispered:

“Teacher, I’m sorry, I was too excited just now.”

Arashi Akira reached out and gently ruffled Mikoto’s black hair, saying:

“It’s okay, teacher also likes Mikoto very much.”

Thump, thump, thump...

Mikoto’s heart beat faster, making a thumping sound.

Wouldn’t this be inappropriate? Although the teacher is very handsome and powerful.

But the clan wouldn’t agree.

Arashi Akira retracted his hand, took out a small mirror, and asked:

“Do you want to see how many tomoe you have?”

Isn’t the first awakening always one tomoe?

Could it be that I don’t have one tomoe!

“Yes!”

Mikoto raised her head and took the mirror, seeing herself in the mirror.

Blood-red eyes, with four tomoe in her eyes!

Two in the left eye and two in the right eye.

This kind of thing is simply unheard of!

“Teacher, I’m not seeing things, am I?”

“Is this really a Double Tomoe Sharingan?” Mikoto looked at Arashi Akira and asked in disbelief.

“Haven’t you already seen it?” Arashi Akira smiled.

“Thank you, teacher, Mikoto likes teacher the most!”

Mikoto excitedly hugged Arashi Akira again.

Arashi Akira also took the opportunity to put his arms around Mikoto.

He gently patted Mikoto’s back and said:

“Alright, now that you’ve awakened your Sharingan, go train with Kushina and the others.”

“Okay!”

With Arashi Akira’s current strength, he could completely force Mikoto’s Sharingan to evolve into the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.

But the consequence would be Mikoto exploding instantly.

Mikoto’s chakra reserves are not enough to support this power.

The talents of the three are not bad. The ability to control chakra, as tested by walking on water and climbing trees, was quickly mastered by the three.

“Gather!”

Kushina, Mikoto, and Nonoyu jumped down from the trees and came before Arashi Akira.

“Now I will test your chakra attributes!”

“So that I can teach you ninjutsu.”

“Teach ninjutsu!?” Nonoyu was stunned.

It was the first time he had heard of a teacher teaching students ninjutsu.

In most cases, teachers are not responsible for teaching students attribute-based ninjutsu.

And if students want to learn ninjutsu, they need to do corresponding tasks to exchange for it.

This teacher is so special, not only did he help Mikoto awaken her Sharingan, but he is also responsible for teaching ninjutsu.

Arashi Akira took out several pieces of white paper used to test chakra attributes.

“This is the paper used to test your current main chakra attribute.”

Holding a piece of white paper in his hand, Arashi Akira said:

“Fire-attribute chakra will cause the paper to burn.”

The upper left corner of the paper Arashi Akira was holding began to burn.

“Wind attribute will cause the paper to split in half.”

The upper right corner of the paper split as if it had been cut by scissors.

“Lightning attribute will wrinkle it.”

The lower left corner of the paper instantly became wrinkled, as if it had shrunk.

“Earth attribute will shatter it.”

The lower right corner of the paper turned to ash and dissipated into the world.

“Water attribute will make it wet.”

Arashi Akira released the paper, and the part of the paper that was not affected by the first four attributes, suspended in the air, became wet.

Mikoto and Nonoyu were shocked to see the paper floating in the air.

Teacher Arashi Akira actually has five attributes of chakra, and it seems that he has mastered them very skillfully.

By the way, why is the paper floating in the air? What kind of magical ninjutsu is this?

“Akira… Teacher, what about Wood Release?” Kushina asked suspiciously.

“Wood Release does not belong to the five basic attributes.”

“It is a product of the fusion of Earth and Water attribute chakra.”

“It is a type of Bloodline Limit.”

“Mikoto’s Sharingan also belongs to the Bloodline Limit.”

“One sheet for each of you, let’s test your attributes first.”

Arashi Akira distributed the test paper to the three.

Kushina’s test paper split in half, clearly indicating that her current main chakra attribute is Wind.

The test paper in Mikoto’s hand burned, which is Fire attribute.

Very consistent with the characteristics of the Uchiha clan.

Ancestral Fire attribute chakra.

Nonoyu’s test paper was wet and dripping with water.

It’s Water attribute.

Although the test was soaked, the main attribute of chakra in Nonoyu’s body is actually Yang attribute.

Yang attribute chakra does not express itself on the test paper, so it is expressed as the second attribute, Water attribute.

After understanding the chakra attributes of the three, Arashi Akira distributed three origami papers from Konan to Kushina, Mikoto, and Nonoyu.

He asked them to practice using chakra to tear, burn, or wet the origami in their hands first.

Origami and test paper are different, they don’t have such a high reaction to chakra.

It takes quite a while to tear or burn them.

“By the way, do you know the Shadow Clone Technique?”

The three girls shook their heads. Seeing this, Arashi Akira decided to teach them the Shadow Clone Technique to accelerate their chakra training.

As for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, let’s forget about it. With their chakra reserves, there is a high probability that they will run out of chakra and die.

“I’ll teach you the Shadow Clone Technique.”

“The Shadow Clone Technique is different from the Clone Technique. It can use chakra to create physical clones. The clones will evenly distribute the main body’s chakra, have consciousness independent of the caster’s main body, and have a certain resistance to strikes. After the clone is dispelled, the clone’s memory and experience will return to the main body.”

“It can accelerate your training progress.”

Although the Shadow Clone Technique only requires one hand seal, as a B-rank difficulty ninjutsu, it cannot be learned just by looking at it once.

Only Mikoto, with her Double Tomoe Sharingan, could learn it instantly like she was cheating.

Kushina and Nonoyu still needed to practice diligently to create perfect Shadow Clones.

Near noon, Lan Mingang went back to bring Konan over as well.

Don't underestimate Konan; even though she's only four or five years old, her control over chakra is in no way inferior to Kushina and the others.

"Let's take a break; it's time for lunch!"

Lan Mingang took out the prepared lunch, and the five of them sat together, eating.

Time passed day by day.

A week later, Kushina, Mikoto, and Nonoyu finally managed to destroy their respective origami using the corresponding attribute chakra.

During this period, Lan Mingang took the three on some missions from the village.

Finding lost cats and dogs, just low-level missions without any danger.

After completing the first stage of training, Lan Mingang began teaching the three ninjutsu.

Kushina, being a member of the Uzumaki clan, naturally had to learn sealing techniques.

Various sealing techniques were immediately arranged for her.

Four Symbols Sealing, Eight Trigrams Sealing, Contract Sealing, Tailed Beast Sealing...

As for Mikoto, Uchiha Raffe, the head of the Uchiha clan, upon seeing Mikoto directly activate the Double Tomoe Sharingan, didn't hesitate at all and brought out all the ancestral ninjutsu from his home.

He let Mikoto learn them.

Mikoto only selected some advanced Fire Release ninjutsu; she didn't choose the low-level ones.

Because she wanted Lan Mingang to teach her Fire Release.

As for Nonoyu, Lan Mingang taught her medical ninjutsu.

Every day, he would catch a few fish from the river to let Nonoyu practice, practicing Chakra Scalpel, Mystical Palm Technique, Healing Resuscitation Regeneration Technique...

One morning, just as Lan Mingang was teaching Nonoyu medical ninjutsu hand-in-hand, Nawaki ran over.

"Mingang-nii!"

"The Second Shinobi World War has broken out!" Nawaki said excitedly.

Lan Mingang released Nonoyu's hand and went with Nawaki to the tree, sitting on the ground.

Perhaps due to the butterfly effect, the Second Shinobi World War was delayed by about half a month.

"Mingang-nii, I'm going to the battlefield!"

"To carry out missions, make a name for myself in the ninja world, and accumulate prestige for becoming Hokage in the future."

Nawaki said excitedly, describing to Lan Mingang how he would be in the future.

"Is that so, then... be careful."

"Remember to bring the puppet I gave you."

"Puppet? What would I do with it? What if it gets broken?" Nawaki still liked the puppet that Lan Mingang had given him.

"Listen to me, just bring it!"

"It can save your life."

"From now on, no matter where you go to carry out missions, you must bring it with you, or else I'll have your sister spank your butt!"

Although the puppet that Lan Mingang gave to Nawaki was not as powerful as Konan's two, it could still save Nawaki's life when he encountered a fatal danger.

"Save my life?"

Due to his sister's authority, and because Lan Mingang said it could save his life, Nawaki vowed:

"Okay, Mingang-nii, I will definitely carry him with me."

"No matter where I go to carry out missions, I will bring him with me."

After Nawaki returned home, he listened to Lan Mingang's words and took the puppet that Lan Mingang had given him, which was placed on his bedside.

That afternoon, Nawaki, as a Chunin, received the assigned mission.

At the same time, Tsunade and Orochimaru were also carrying out their respective missions.

Nawaki bid farewell to no one and went to find Lan Mingang again.

"Mingang-nii, I'm leaving!"

"When my sister comes back, just say I went to carry out a mission!"

Sensing that Nawaki had brought the puppet with him, Lan Mingang nodded:

"No problem!"

After Nawaki left, Lan Mingang lay on the grass, looking at the sky.

Not knowing what he was thinking.

"Mingang-nii!"

"What are you looking at?"

Kushina ran from afar, squatting beside Lan Mingang.

Lan Mingang turned his head to look at Kushina, teasing:

"Why don't you call me teacher anymore, and call me Mingang-nii instead?"

"Isn't it because Mikoto and Nonoyu aren't here?"

At this time, Mikoto and Nonoyu were practicing ninjutsu by the river and couldn't hear their conversation.

Lan Mingang stretched out his arm to the side, signaling that Kushina could lie down, using his arm as a pillow.

Kushina didn't act coy and lay down beside Lan Mingang, but instead of using Lan Mingang's arm as a pillow, she hugged it in her arms.

"Mingang-nii..."

"Hmm?"

"Why do you think countries have to start wars?"

Kushina's homeland, the Land of Whirlpools, was destroyed by a coalition of countries because people feared its sealing techniques.

She witnessed the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, the separation of families, and the shattering of homes.

Kushina was extremely disgusted by war.

She didn't like war.

"Because people's desires are endless; humans are always dissatisfied."

"Mingang-nii, I'm so scared; I'm afraid that Konoha will also be destroyed by other countries like the Land of Whirlpools..." Kushina said, her eyes filled with tears, choking with sobs.

Lan Mingang turned sideways, reaching out to stroke Kushina's long red hair.

"Kushina, don't be afraid; Konoha will not be destroyed by other countries."

"Because I'm here!"

"Although I can't guarantee the safety of other countries and other people, I will definitely make you live in a peaceful country."

"As long as I'm here, you will never have to worry about being displaced again; I will always be by your side."

At night, there was a knock on the door.

Lan Mingang went to open the door.

Kushina's figure appeared at the door.

"Mingang-nii, can I live with you...?" Kushina asked, holding a pillow in her arms.

"Welcome!" Lan Mingang smiled, taking Kushina's hand and returning to the house.

On the other side, at the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rivers.

Nawaki was carrying out a mission with his teammates.

The mission was very simple, which was to eliminate a hideout with only three Chunin-level Sand Village ninjas.

Nawaki's group had a total of four people, one of whom was a Jonin.

They were determined to succeed in this mission.

Boom!

Explosive tags exploded from under their feet.

"Scatter!"

At an order, the remaining Konoha ninjas and Nawaki quickly scattered.

But just as they jumped onto the tree trunks to the side, they felt a strange sensation under their feet.

It was as if they had stepped on something.

Dozens more sounds of explosive tags exploding rang out, and the firelight illuminated the forest.

After the firelight disappeared, the forest returned to silence.

Nawaki was charred all over, his face unrecognizable, with only a breath left.

The puppet in his arms fell to the ground, emitting a green light, and flew into Nawaki's body.

Ten minutes later, the remaining Konoha ninjas arrived after hearing the sound.

They saw three corpses with their limbs torn apart; the scene was indescribable, except for Nawaki's corpse, which was relatively intact.

"They're all dead..."

"No! Nawaki still has a breath! He's still alive!"

"Quick, send him back to Konoha!"
