Chapter 10 Konoha Genin
Yamato must be six years old by now.
Mo Jingxian remembered that Yamato was about four years younger than Kakashi.
Now that Kakashi has been a Chunin for several years, the Hashirama cell experiments in Konoha should have been stopped.
However, as the initiator of the experiment, Danzo must have kept a backup.
However, this is not the first choice. Given Danzo's personality, he would never hand over Hashirama's cells unless... he destroyed the Root organization.
However, he doesn't have the ability yet, so he can only dream about it.
Hiruzen Sarutobi should also have it, as can be inferred from Tsunade's attitude towards him.
That old guy must have let Tsunade discover something, otherwise his two disciples wouldn't have left in a huff.
Looking at the timeline, Tsunade's departure coincides with the time of the Hashirama cell experiment.
It's hard not to make those connections.
After careful consideration, Mo Jingxian silently crossed out the option for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The current Hiruzen Sarutobi is no longer the ninja hero he once was; he has transformed into a competent politician.
If the immortal wants to obtain Hashirama's cells, he must offer several times the profit in exchange.
Even if it's for the sake of Watergate's reputation, it won't work; interests are interests.
If I choose to trade with Hiruzen Sarutobi, I'm afraid I'll be kept hanging on until I die.
After considering all the options, it seems that Orochimaru is the only one left.
Upon closer examination, Orochimaru might not be an unsuitable trading partner.
As long as the strength is equal, this venomous snake will demonstrate the admirable quality of equivalent exchange.
Ultimately, he was a fanatic who pursued immortality.
There are many things that could entice him, such as bloodstains, life sciences, and powerful ninjutsu, all of which could be used as bargaining chips.
With a viable path laid out before her, Mo Jingxian decided on her next course of action.
Go to the front lines.
Try to establish a relationship with Orochimaru to prepare for the final deal.
Having sorted out his thoughts, he could now begin preparations. He planned to apply for early graduation after being discharged from the hospital.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck me.
Mo Jingxian immediately seized upon that spark of inspiration.
Surprise, regret, and helplessness appeared on that young face.
"How stupid of me! I didn't even notice such a huge flaw."
He spat out a sentence through gritted teeth.
Yes, he finally discovered a flaw in the scales of fate.
A transaction cannot be completed unless it is determined in the first place.
In other words, he can weigh everything about himself and determine the information about the items to be exchanged before making a decision.
If he had discovered this earlier, he wouldn't be in such a passive position.
Mo Jingxian really wanted to slap herself a few times.
It's too late to say anything now; my reputation is at rock bottom, and the scales of fate can't be set in motion.
Right now, all he can do is offer a wry smile.
Watergate acted swiftly, returning here in just three days.
"Next, this is the compensation the Uchiha clan is giving you."
Mo Jingxian accepted the compensation, somewhat surprised.
"Magic Illusion: Mirror of Heaven and Earth" and "Magic Illusion: Shackle Technique" are two exquisite illusion techniques collected by the Uchiha clan.
The reason it was surprising was that no one expected Fugaku Uchiha to be so generous.
"Magic Illusion: Mirror Heaven and Earth Reversal" is a counter-ninjutsu, one of the most famous scenes in the future. Itachi Uchiha used this technique to counter Kurenai's genjutsu.
"The Magical Shackle Technique" goes without saying; Orochimaru, as someone who experienced it firsthand, is the most qualified to speak on it.
It is safe to say that as the signature ninjutsu of the Uchiha clan, its power is beyond doubt.
By any measure, Fugaku has suffered a significant financial loss this time.
However, considering the current situation of the Uchiha clan, Fugaku's actions seem to make sense.
Who told Minato Namikaze to come knocking?
It is believed that the high-ranking members of each ninja clan have received the news that Minato, as a strong contender for the Fourth Hokage, has a very high chance of winning.
Fugaku Uchiha's generosity might have been a prelude to betting on Minato.
The idea flashed through my mind.
"Brother Minato, I plan to graduate early and go to the battlefield for training."
His thinking was very much in line with ninja thinking, which was perfectly normal in Konoha.
"Well, with your strength, there's really no need for you to waste your time at the Ninja Academy. But on the battlefield, swords and spears have no eyes, so be careful."
"Don't worry, Minato-nii, I will."
Minato Namikaze came and went in a hurry; it was clear that this elite Jonin was extremely busy.
In the days that followed, he rested peacefully and continued to refine his plan in his mind.
In this life, his body was indeed somewhat like that of a vegetable. Despite such severe injuries, it only took him a week to be able to jump around again.
After being discharged from the hospital,
Mo Jingxian submitted her graduation application immediately.
The process went smoothly, and he received his ninja headband that afternoon.
He simply tied his headband to his arm; he didn't have the habit of wearing a piece of iron on his head.
Before he even left the Hokage Building, he was unexpectedly summoned by the Hokage.
Without any preparation, they suddenly encountered the highest-ranking administrative officer of the Konoha Violent Group.
Hiruzen Sarutobi appears much taller and more imposing than he does on screen, unlike the peaceful demeanor some people describe him as.
Moreover, his first words to Mo Jingxian went straight to the heart of the matter.
"Your background is not something you can decide yourself; it was Minato who shielded you from attacks from all sides."
The meaning is very clear: in addition to giving him a warning, it also sets an example of him chasing after them.
Mo Jingxian didn't make any grand pronouncements, and he didn't even mention his previous life's theory of equality for all.
He understood that, as a successful politician, his little tricks were completely ineffective.
Behind every mature political ecosystem lies a system that has emerged from a bloodbath and best serves current interests.
He didn't believe that his scattered political views would make the Hokage look at him differently.
This approach is more likely to backfire.
Mo Jingxian acted like a young man should.
In short, Brother Minato is my role model, and I will definitely follow him in the future.
Next came a lukewarm lesson in fire-based education, and the conversation proceeded normally.
Before leaving, he received a storage scroll as a reward from the Hokage.
After walking a distance, the tightness in my chest finally eased.
He passed another hurdle.
Only then did Mo Jingxian finally realize that the incident involving the assassination of Shuimen was truly over.
He bought some fruit and a strawberry cake.
Before sunset, Mo Jingxian knocked on the door of the Shuimen family's house.
"It's a fairy! Minato has already rushed to the battlefield. You're too late."
Kushina opened the door, and she seemed to be in a low mood.
"Brother Shuimen told me that I came here specifically to visit my sister-in-law."
"What did you call me? I didn't hear you clearly."
Mo Jingxian suppressed a laugh and called out again in a serious tone, "Sister-in-law!"
"Come in, just put your things on the table."
After stepping aside and turning around, Kushina's lips began to curl upwards.
Xian followed him in, and when he saw a pile of milk and bread wrappers haphazardly scattered on the table, he couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye.
He finally understood why Naruto in the future had been eating expired milk and bread.
His feelings were a habit he inherited from his mother.
"You'd better have something to do, and... take off that awful look on your face."
Seeing Kushina clench her fist, Mo Jingxian thought to himself, "Oh no!"
I was momentarily distracted and forgot that she used to be a violent queen.
"Um... don't misunderstand, I came here today specifically to thank my sister-in-law."
"Call me Big Sister."
"Big Sister!"
Kushina proudly raised her head: "I haven't agreed to marry Minato yet, let's see how he behaves."
What's with that smug little expression? Sigh, women!
Kushina's lofty image was shattered; love makes people blind, even Jinchuriki are no exception.
He couldn't reveal his inner thoughts, of course; he didn't want to experience the power of superhuman punches, so he'd leave that to Minato.
On the contrary, Mo Jingxian fawned over her, offering cake and fruit.
"Kushina, here's your Five Elements Seal Scroll back."
In just a short while, Kushina's dejected mood vanished, and she unwrapped the cake and took a delicious bite.
"Is it because you can't learn it? It's normal that you can't learn it. I've never seen anyone at the genin level master sealing techniques."
"I learned."
"Hmm, that's good... What? You said you've learned it?"
Kushina's eyes widened, giving her a look that said, "Don't try to fool me."
Left with no other choice, Mo Jingxian had to explain the principles of the sealing technique in detail.
In the end, Kushina stopped eating the cake and tried to test his chakra, but eventually had no choice but to let go.
"No whirlpool bloodline? That doesn't make sense. How did you learn it?"
"Maybe I'm a genius."
Of course, Mo Jingxian wouldn't tell her that it was her future self who taught her that.
After being given a few eye-rolls, the immortal took the opportunity to reveal the purpose of his trip:
"I came here today hoping to use the sealing technique to refine my understanding and verify my thoughts. Is that alright?"
"Don't rush with the annotations. Let me test you first. Tell me your understanding of sealing techniques."
Kushina still didn't believe he could master sealing techniques, even though the facts were right in front of her.
Xian cleared his throat.
"This is how I understand it... Sealing techniques are the most basic language of this world, a symbol used to explain the operation of rules. Unlike ninjutsu, it is more primitive and interacts more effectively with the world..."
Kushina felt a complex mix of emotions as she watched the eloquent young man speak.
If only he were a member of the Uzumaki clan.
Gradually, the figure of the boy sitting on the sofa began to blur, and she seemed to return to her childhood, to the shrine of the Uzumaki clan.
Children her age at the time were all made to learn sealing techniques by the elders while sitting on prayer mats in the ancestral hall.
The fairy's figure gradually merged with the child, causing Kushina to be momentarily dazed.
[Reputation from Kushina +10]
After explaining his point of view, Mo Jingxian noticed that Kushina was staring blankly into space.
The reputation points appeared out of nowhere, so he had no choice but to offer a reminder.
"Kushina-neechan, is there anything I said wrong?"
"Ah! -- Oh, either way is fine."
Kushina refocused her gaze and came back to her senses.
"You wait."
After saying that, she hurriedly ran upstairs.
Not long after.
She ran back carrying a package.
He shoved the package into Mo Jingxian's arms and immediately started to shoo people away.
"Let's go, I'm tired. You'd better not bother me for the next few days."
He was pushed out the door without a chance to speak.
With a loud bang, the door slammed shut.
Mo Jingxian shook his head and smiled wryly. This woman was so impulsive; only Shuimen could handle her.
Back home, I opened the package, and a wave of warmth washed over me.
The package contained only three items.
A specially made kunai bound with the Flying Thunder God Technique, a book on the training of sealing techniques, and a ninja vest.
