Chapter 136 Even the dumbest person can't learn the Rasengan, right? [Second Update]
Therefore, it is really hard to imagine how fierce the battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha was, that it could cause such a freakishly powerful man like Hashirama Senju to die on the spot within just a few years.
If Kitahara Kaede had that kind of strength, his anxiety would be greatly reduced.
After all, the more he knew about the dangers of the future, the more urgent he felt. Although he kept saying that he would just lie back and wait for Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha to save the world.
However, he simply couldn't lie flat like that, just as he was quietly developing the Wind Release: Rasenshuriken.
Even if he might draw this ninjutsu one day in the future, he will still try to increase his own combat power rather than placing all his hopes on this system.
However, he also realized the difficulty of developing an S-rank ninjutsu on his own. Even though he knew the principles and direction of cultivation in his previous life, it was still not an easy thing to actually put it into practice.
This was only because he had integrated the bloodlines of two major ninja clans, which greatly improved his aptitude. Without this foundation, he wouldn't even be able to think about it, let alone understand it.
Otherwise, why didn't he try to develop the Rasengan, an A-rank ninjutsu whose training method he clearly knew, after being reborn and transmigrated for so many years?
Isn't it just that you're not talented enough?
Even the dumbest person can learn the Rasengan, right?
It really can!
He's hoping to win something good through a lottery, but he doesn't know when he'll actually get anything.
For example, in the lottery ten days ago, he only won a ninjutsu that was very suitable for using the "pretend to escape" technique: the Uchiha-style throwing technique.
This is a throwing technique specially developed by the Uchiha clan, perfectly matched with the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan. It can throw not only shuriken and kunai, but also shuriken and other items.
It can even change the flight direction of the preceding shuriken in mid-air by striking it first, achieving a surprise attack effect.
When fighting Nagato, Itachi Uchiha used just this one move to completely block Nagato's Rinnegan shared vision.
It can be said that Itachi Uchiha truly deserves to be called a super genius, as his combat skills are among the best in the entire ninja world.
However, there is only one problem: Uchiha Itachi is a top-tier ninja, but what if he faces opponents who are utterly inhuman?
"But the holiday is over now!"
After completing the treatment, Kitahara Kaede sat cross-legged and rested for a while, and the chakra he had just used gradually recovered.
In addition to the ever-growing amount of chakra, this rudimentary Sage Body from the Uzumaki clan also brought Kitahara Kaede an astonishing increase in recovery speed.
Although he can't compare to overpowered characters like Naruto Uzumaki or Hashirama Senju, he's already at a level unimaginable for ordinary ninjas.
The month-long vacation I had just received for completing the Land of Waves mission, which was upgraded to S-rank, has already been used up.
He has to go and take on another mission.
In peacetime, Konoha does not have strict requirements for the number of missions each ninja can complete; there is only a minimum target of completing a certain number of missions each year.
Aside from some tasks specifically assigned by Konoha's higher-ups, most tasks are optional for individuals to complete.
Often, there aren't even tasks you can complete, as the village receives a limited number of commissions and cannot meet everyone's needs.
Most ninjas don't have any family businesses and rely on missions to survive, which makes life quite difficult for many of them.
Even villages compete for missions. The reason why Sunagakure agreed to join forces with Orochimaru to launch a surprise attack on Konoha and initiate the Konoha Collapse Plan was essentially because Konoha had taken all the missions.
Even the daimyo of their own country preferred to entrust the task to Konoha.
For the daimyo of each country, it doesn't matter who is given the task, as long as the mission can be completed.
However, this was fatal for the villages.
If there aren't enough tasks, there's no money; if there's no money, there's no way to train the next generation; if the next generation is of poor quality, famous figures and merchants from various countries won't be willing to hire them; if they're unwilling to hire, there will be even fewer tasks, and even less money.
This is a terrifying vicious cycle.
The Sand Village is now trapped in this vicious cycle, which is why they joined forces with Orochimaru to launch a surprise attack on Konoha in an attempt to find a way out.
These are all contradictions hidden in the actual operating system beneath the surface of the shonen anime Naruto. The reason why the contradictions seemed to decrease later on was simply because Naruto Uzumaki and Sasuke Uchiha were two towering figures who suppressed the entire ninja world.
Later, various aliens came to the ninja world one after another and wreaked havoc. Under such circumstances, the thoughts of the ninja villages were no longer important, and they didn't even dare to utter a single complaint.
After all, without the protagonists of Konoha, those aliens could wipe out the village with a single slap if they were unhappy.
In the early stages, it was already terrifying to see Pain destroy Konoha Village with a single blow. However, in the later stages, that was nothing. Everyone had that level of strength. Later on, the second generation of Hokage started at the Kage level, and with a little training, they became Super Kage level. With even more hard work, they could directly reach the Six Paths level.
They might as well stop acting altogether and stop being ninjas; they might as well just cultivate immortality!
Kitahara Kaede put down his training and rushed to the Hokage Building to meet up with Hyuga Keiko and Ayato Genryu.
"Finally, we're going on a mission. I'm so tired of training lately." Xiang Tianyuanlong's face was practically contorted with pain as he thought about how Kitahara Kaede had been forcing him to train so hard.
Back then, he was only from Class B at the Ninja Academy, but Kitahara Kaede made him train hard for a period of time, and his strength increased rapidly. He dared to guarantee that none of the guys from Class A back then could beat him.
This class was quite mediocre, lacking the geniuses who made a name for themselves in the ninja world in previous years. Even among the members of Class A, only a few were promoted to Chunin. If we only consider strength, they would basically be no match for Genryu Abe and Keiko Hyuga.
The two entered the Hokage Building's mission area, but to their surprise, the person in charge today was not Nara Shikaku, the leader of the Jonin team, but the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was personally overseeing the operation.
"Sandaime-sama!"
The three of them quickly bowed their heads and called out.
"You've arrived. It seems you've had a good rest this month. Perfect timing, there's a task here that I need you to complete," Hiruzen Sarutobi said with a slight smile.
He then handed a mission scroll to Kitahara Kaede, who was the team leader.
Kitahara Kaede opened it and saw that it was a B-level mission, but the content of the mission stunned him instantly.
Their mission was to secretly infiltrate Loulan, a desert ruin within the Land of Wind, to confirm the integrity of the local seal.
This mission isn't very difficult. The only challenge is infiltrating the Land of Wind without alerting the people of Sunagakure. That's why the mission is classified as Rank B.
Both Ayato Genryu and Hinata Keiko looked normal when they saw the mission, because they didn't know what the situation was. However, Kitahara Kaede knew all too well what this mission was about.
This relates to the plot of the Naruto the Movie: The Lost Tower, which tells the story of Naruto Uzumaki chasing after the rogue ninja Hyakuza from Sunagakure and being transported to the city of Loulan twenty years in the past by the chakra energy of the Dragon Vein.
Here he encountered Minato Namikaze in his youth, before he became the Fourth Hokage, and together with Minato, they defeated the rogue ninja Hyakuzoku, who was using the alias Anrokuzan.
The very names Loulan and An Lushan, both brimming with Chinese characteristics, are enough to make one want to complain.
Even if we include that rogue ninja, Centipede, this mission wouldn't be anything special. At most, that rogue ninja's strength reached the Jonin level, and with the blessing of the Dragon Vein power, he could only reach the Kage level at most.
What truly makes this mission special is the time travel aspect; the power of the dragon veins can actually allow people to travel through time.
Just as Kitahara Kaede was recalling the contents of that movie and was shocked that this mission should have been a few years later when Naruto Uzumaki was ordered by the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, to assist Sunagakure in hunting down Centipede.
Because of my arrival, the butterfly effect has become increasingly apparent.
Kitahara Kaede could only make this connection.
"In this place called Loulan, there is a seal left by the fourth generation. There are very dangerous things inside. Your mission is to sneak in and make sure the seal is not broken. If there is any damage or instability, you come back and report to me."
Hiruzen Sarutobi gave his instructions.
He didn't go into detail about what was sealed within Loulan, as the secrets involved were too great to be known by this Chunin squad.
As he said, the mission was simply to have Kitahara Kaede and the other two check if the seal was intact. If it was leaking or unstable, the sealing team would need to be dispatched to reinforce it.
This has been going on for over a decade.
Every year he would send ninjas to check if the seal was still intact.
Currently, the only person in Konoha who knows what is sealed within the Loulan ruins is the Third Hokage himself.
He recalled a time traveler named Centipede who suddenly appeared more than a decade ago. The information he received at the time was that Centipede was trying to manufacture extremely dangerous weapons in Loulan and was also trying to rule the world.
Although it was unclear where this centipede got the audacity to say such a thing, he immediately dispatched a team of three powerful elite Jonin-level ninjas—the Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze, Choza Akimichi, and Shiki Aburame—to deal with the situation.
He himself didn't know the outcome of the aftermath. When Minato Namikaze's team returned, they were in a state of complete amnesia. Their memories had been sealed, and judging from the sealing method, it should have been Minato Namikaze himself who placed the seal.
At first he didn't understand, but later he figured it out.
