Fujinaka Genma did not achieve his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he could tell that both Tsunade and Jiraiya held a very favorable impression of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Tsunade—there was so much they could discuss regarding medical knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Fujinaka Genma did not freely unleash his past-life knowledge; he held back, offering only speculative ideas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This not only fit his identity but also drew Tsunade’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he was not trying to win Tsunade over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Tsunade had just passed thirty, she was at her most mature—and when slightly drunk, her occasional charm was undeniably captivating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma had noticed Jiraiya’s idiotic grin several times already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After agreeing to meet tomorrow to watch him unleash the Wind Style: Giant Windmill, Fujinaka Genma bid farewell to Kushina Uzumaki and the others and returned home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back home, after washing up, Fujinaka Genma chatted with his mother, Akie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mainly spoke of his visit to Kushina Uzumaki’s house, avoiding any details about his mission to prevent worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma returned to his bedroom to continue practicing Jin Gang Sealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had high hopes for this sealing technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he could upgrade Jin Gang Sealing to level 10, could it possibly rival the Wood Release’s ultimate techniques or Rinnegan abilities?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, that assumed sufficient chakra.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the foundation of all ninjutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once I raise Agility to 30 points, I’ll restart boosting Constitution—perfect, since my body is about to enter its rapid growth phase.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he had long-term plans, occasional adjustments and adaptability were still necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core of his skills lay in Jin Gang Sealing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The core of his attributes lay in Constitution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Third Shinobi World War showing signs of outbreak, Fujinaka Genma believed that before it turned brutal, he could reach a level where he could move freely among the Jonin—that would fulfill his goal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But right now, he was still some distance from that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At midnight, Fujinaka Genma slept punctually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day at five a.m., he woke up promptly for morning training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the morning session, Fujinaka Genma checked his system data: Constitution +0.2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excluding the Iron Bones talent bonus, it was +0.1.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the past year, this was impressive—proof his rapid growth phase had begun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Training must not stop!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I must also pay attention to diet and nutritional supplements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Silently reminding himself, Fujinaka Genma ate breakfast, donned his gear, and stepped out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Kushina Uzumaki’s house, Minato had already arrived, but Jiraiya and Tsunade had not.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he began teaching Minato the techniques of the Wind Style: Spiral Shuriken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether Minato could master it depended on himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps with improved chakra control and Fujinaka Genma’s guidance, Minato might naturally grasp it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After receiving the technique, Minato did not train immediately; instead, he smiled at the kunai clenched in Fujinaka Genma’s mouth. “Genma, shall I teach Itachi a jutsu too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma’s eyes lit up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki, watching the scene, stopped Minato from speaking and grinned. “Let me guess what jutsu Itachi’ll teach.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato gave Fujinaka Genma a helpless look and chuckled. “Fine!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki pinched her chin, then suddenly said: “Multiple Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hah! Itachi got it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato grinned foolishly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma felt like he’d been force-fed dog food. He stared at the two and blurted: “Sister Kushina, Itachi and Brother Minato are truly made for each other.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Really?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki laughed, slightly embarrassed, her joy radiant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato secretly gave a thumbs-up, his smile gentler than ever. “The Multiple Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique suits Itachi perfectly, Genma. I heard from Kushina Itachi’ve developed a Lightning Style technique like the Lightning Blade—apply it to your kunai, and with this jutsu, the effect should be outstanding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma was about to nod when Kushina Uzumaki suddenly wore a knowing smirk. “Genma, I know exactly which jutsu Itachi most want to learn from Brother Minato.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma instantly sensed trouble. Minato, however, was curious. “Oh? Which jutsu is that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Flying Thunder God Technique, of course, dummy!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma couldn’t help but pinch the bridge of his nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having a teacher who exposes her own student’s secrets was sometimes a true disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he sensed Kushina had done it deliberately—to help him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato paused, then smiled thoughtfully. “The Flying Thunder God Technique isn’t appropriate right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma quickly waved his hands. “Brother Minato, I love the Multiple Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique—it’s perfect for me right now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the Flying Thunder God Technique, let’s wait until Itachi become Hokage. My focus now is still on Jin Gang Sealing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No sooner had he finished than a wave of killing intent swept over him from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shit. I messed up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned and saw Kushina Uzumaki glaring at him with murderous intent. “Genma, do Itachi think Teacher can’t become Hokage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sweat broke on his forehead. He rushed to correct himself. “Of course not!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Itachi’re far more suited to be Hokage than Brother Minato.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m sure Itachi’ll choose to let Brother Minato take the opportunity!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly shot Minato a pleading glance. “Brother Minato, am I right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, well… of course! Kushina is definitely more suited to be Hokage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato hurriedly agreed with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s better.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki sniffed, temporarily letting them off the hook.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma and Minato exchanged a glance and shared a silent laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, after Fujinaka Genma mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone Shuriken Technique, Jiraiya and Tsunade arrived one after the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This jutsu has a wide range—it’s best to try it outside the village.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem. Leave it to Minato.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato nodded, used Flying Thunder God, and transported everyone outside the village in two jumps, to a vast open field.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go ahead—show us what Itachi’ve got.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki immediately raised her fist. “Ganbatte!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma nodded, took a deep breath, and began rapidly gathering chakra in his right palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To be honest, this was his first time performing this jutsu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Massive chakra swirled and coalesced into a Rasengan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Wind Release chakra surged in—the Rasengan instantly expanded into a giant windmill, emitting a piercing, shrill hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wind Style: Spiral Shuriken—complete!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Kushina Uzumaki and the other three stared at the jutsu Fujinaka Genma slowly raised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya couldn’t help but praise: “The shape transformation and chakra nature transformation are both at their peak—this is an S-rank forbidden jutsu!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jutsu rankings were judged not by power, but by difficulty of mastery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One glance was enough for Jiraiya to confirm: this was an extraordinarily difficult technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Fujinaka Genma, Jiraiya suddenly felt the urge to crack open the boy’s skull and see what was inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ten-year-old boy inventing such a jutsu—this talent was monstrous, even surpassing Minato’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade’s expression turned grave. “If Itachi can’t throw this jutsu, it’ll injure Itachi first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sukui!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki genuinely rejoiced for Fujinaka Genma, filled with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a beautiful masterpiece!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato watched the spinning windmill, smiling warmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Kushina, Brother Minato, Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama—get ready. I’m going to throw it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma warned them, then, under the gaze of all four, flicked his right hand—the Wind Style: Spiral Shuriken shot out with perfect stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every eye followed its flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After traveling over a hundred meters, the Spiral Shuriken struck an obstacle—and before all their eyes, it exploded into a massive sphere of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fall back!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression changed; Jiraiya shouted and leaped backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma and the others also retreated swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out—the storm’s coming!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he landed, Fujinaka Genma immediately warned them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya pressed his hands to the ground, and a massive earthen wall rose instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, a deafening roar of wind filled their ears as a terrifying storm swept in, hurling sand and stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the gale passed, they quickly approached the epicenter of the jutsu and saw a crater over a hundred meters in diameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone except Fujinaka Genma and Kushina Uzumaki stared in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The destruction was too immense—if it had struck an enemy, death would have been certain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya and Tsunade had both lived through the wars and once fought against the so-called Half-God, Danzō, and had seen many powerful warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But a single jutsu capable of such devastation was exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Release jutsu—this is likely the strongest one!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya remarked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning to Fujinaka Genma, Jiraiya rubbed his hands, slightly embarrassed: “Genma, could Itachi teach me this jutsu?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I can teach Itachi my own jutsu in return—how about that? I know countless techniques, many of them unique!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Asking a child for something at his age made Jiraiya feel awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki appeared instantly behind Fujinaka Genma, smiling confidently at Jiraiya: “Master Jiraiya, Genma doesn’t lack jutsu—but he doesn’t have a summoning animal yet.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato smiled awkwardly beside them; Tsunade crossed her arms, watching with a amused smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Summoning animal?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiraiya hesitated, stroking his chin: “The summoning beasts of Myōboku Mountain require a master-disciple lineage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But Genma has already taken Itachi as his master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kushina Uzumaki was ready—she pointed at Minato with a smile: “Would it be a problem if Genma took Minato as his master?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh??”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minato blinked, surprised the request had turned toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Fujinaka Genma’s hopeful expression, Minato smiled gently: “Of course, no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fujinaka Genma beamed and bowed deeply: “Master Minato!”\u003C\u002Fp>",1563,"2026-06-21T02:29:34.312Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","dbcb0f682c3c47ebd9044b5a5e1a1b3ed29c83cf4b67c8879c98da2f9c133ec8","starting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-chapter-27","starting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-chapter-25",157,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-off-with-horse-and-sword-in-konoha-cover.jpg"]
