Chapter 24: The Third Hokage, After Everyone Has Gone to Seed (Seeking reads)

Minato Namikaze is truly a great person!

Sage Mode is probably the best ability he can obtain so far.

Although Yuzhi obtained Obito's Spatial Talent from Kakashi, it hasn't been realized yet.

He himself doesn't know how this ability works, nor what effect it will manifest.

Perhaps only when his Mangekyou Sharingan awakens will this talent become apparent.

But Sage Mode is different; it's immediate combat power!

Moreover, it's a strength that can be used from the early stage all the way to the late stage.

"Just, Minato Namikaze's Sage Mode has some stability issues."

In the original work, Minato Namikaze said he wasn't very good at Sage Mode, but Yuzhi thought it was just his modesty.

After all, as soon as this guy finished speaking, he directly activated Sage Mode together with Nine-Tails Chakra Mode, almost causing Yuzhi to break down.

But after obtaining this ability from him, Yuzhi seems to somewhat understand what's going on.

Simply put, Minato Namikaze's efficiency in merging natural chakra is not high.

This results in limited duration during battle, so he says he's not good at it, and it also makes sense that he never used it in actual combat while alive.

But Edo Tensei is different; not to mention infinite chakra lets him continuously gather, and his immortal body gives him infinite room for trial and error.

This is why he can let loose and go crazy using Flying Thunder God.

"But it's fine; there are cultivation methods, we can slowly think of a solution later."

Walking on the road back to Leaf Village, Yuzhi saw Akai forcibly pulling Kakashi into a race.

Aoba helplessly acted as referee beside them, while Ye Yuanlin followed with a smile, and he no longer thought about this issue.

For now, being able to use it is enough; moreover, Sage Mode is inherently the power he needs to acquire in the future.

Getting it directly now basically equals overtaking on a curve.

After all, Yuzhi has a very good 'teacher'; he can completely refer to Ban's power structure to perfect his own strength!

"Finally back!"

Standing at the edge of the forest, gazing into the distance at Leaf Village and the towering Hokage Rock, Ye Yuanlin couldn't help but sigh.

Kakashi and Akai also stopped their horseplay, and they also silently looked at the distant Leaf Village.

Although this mission's duration wasn't long, and even the enemies they encountered behind enemy lines weren't particularly many.

But the memories these days gave them are very deep, especially for Akai and Aoba.

They all clearly understand that the reason everything feels relaxed is entirely because of Yuzhi.

If it weren't for Yuzhi, how could they have returned so easily, and even earned the title of Leaf Village hero?

Not only them, but even Kakashi and Ye Yuanlin have this feeling.

But this time they didn't thank again, just as Yuzhi said, they've already thanked too much.

Some things, just keep them forever in the heart!

"Let's have a match."

Suddenly, Kakashi, who had been somewhat driven mad by Akai's torment, suddenly laughed and spoke.

"Let's see who reaches Leaf Village first, how about that?"

"Huh?"

Kakashi's words instantly made others feel somewhat bewildered; it doesn't sound like something Kakashi would say.

But Akai instantly got excited and shouted loudly.

"Sure, come on, but what should we do about the last place?"

"No penalty, if you want to compete then compete, start now."

Unexpectedly, Kakashi spoke directly, and then his whole body shot out.

"Damn, wait for me!"

Akai saw the situation and immediately followed; Shancheng Qingye glanced at Yuzhi and Ye Yuanlin, then he suddenly laughed as well.

"You two, slow down, wait for me!"

"This bunch of guys."

Watching the few people scatter like birds and beasts, Yuzhi instantly felt both amused and exasperated.

Turning his head, Yuzhi looked toward Ye Yuanlin, who had lowered her head nearby; for some reason he thought of that guy Obito.

Kakashi created an opportunity, while Ye Yuanlin blushed on the side.

In this situation, Obito might truly be dead; otherwise he'd be so angry he'd crawl out of his grave——

"It actually turned out like this?"

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage rubbed his eyes, then put down the document in his hand.

This document was sent by Ziraiye; its content goes without saying.

To be honest, the Third Hokage is now very happy inside, because the war is finally ending.

But at the same time he also feels somewhat bewildered, because this isn't the ending he imagined.

If it weren't for Ziraiye's signature on this document, he would suspect it's fake.

"That Yuzhi actually grew up that fast?"

As for Yuzhi, the Third Hokage still knows about him.

This kid's parents died in the war, and although he performed averagely in school, he awakened the Sharingan on the battlefield.

At the same time he also embarked on a path of revenge, gradually changing from a former 'underachiever' to a 'genius of the Uchiha'.

However, no matter how talented Yuzhi is, the Third Hokage still doesn't think he'll surpass Kakashi.

But looking now, Kakashi can still give people endless surprises, yet in front of this kid he seems much more ordinary.

「Three Tomoe Sharingan? 」

Through information, the Third already knew that Yuzhi's eyes had been enhanced.

Such progress truly makes people feel moved; not to mention Yuzhi's achievements, his very presence is a manifestation of Leaf Village's strength.

But the problem is, Yuzhi's background is somewhat complex; the people behind him are none other than that guy Uzhibo ChaNa!

「Uzhibo ChaNa is too extreme! 」

Just thinking about that guy, even the Third Hokage had a headache, and even his teacher threw that guy into prison.

If it weren't for the teacher leaving, he would also need the Uchiha Clan's power; otherwise, that guy would never dream of getting out of prison.

Yuzhi being his person really makes it hard for the Third not to have a headache.

Besides Yuzhi, he also has something else that gives him a headache: that eye of Kakashi.

「Uchiha people are really crazy! 」

Just thinking about this, the Third Hokage couldn't help but lash out.

That guy Obito died to save Kakashi; this is indeed a moving thing.

But you're dead, so why give your eyes to Kakashi?

As a gift for Kakashi becoming a Jonin?

Is it that the Uchiha's upbringing is bad, or are you really stupid beyond hope?

That guy never considered the consequences of doing this, or perhaps he simply didn't know what disaster it would bring.

The ninja world has always eyed the Sharingan, but never succeeded—partly because it's hard to obtain those eyes, partly because merging them is too difficult.

As a result, you directly created a moving test subject for the whole ninja world to reference, right?

Moreover, have you considered whether your clan would tolerate this and just let it go?

「Hope the Uchiha don't cause any trouble at this time. 」

Although he's full of anger and there are many problems, the Third can only grit his teeth and deal with it.

At the same time, he can only think of happy things to ease his inner agitation.

「Good, as long as Rock Village holds out and agrees to negotiate, the war will end. 」

「However, it's also time to consider a new Hokage, Orochimaru. 」

The Third had already anticipated bearing responsibility for war losses, so now he is considering the Fourth Hokage's affairs.

But just thinking of Orochimaru, he immediately slumped again.

After Orochimaru returned to Leaf Village, he went straight into the lab; he seems fairly law-abiding.

But he knows that this disciple of his once participated in the Wood Release research plan led by Danzo, which he himself had halted.

Moreover, he recently obtained some information from ANBU: Orochimaru secretly took away some prisoners, and no one knows where they ended up.

This matter makes him somewhat uneasy, because as Hokage he cannot have any blemish!

For a while, the Third became even more headache-prone.

He really didn't expect that after the war, there would still be so many troubles.
