316 Learning Ninjutsu in a Glance
🕑 Added 2025-11-17 13:52:01 +0000 UTC"Wow!!"
A massive wooden dragon appeared, wrapping around the two tailed beasts that had been bound by the Statue's Chains!
The Masked Man glanced at the First Hokage behind Orochimaru, finally realizing why Orochimaru had the confidence to stop him…
At the same time, the Second, Third, and Fourth Hokages visibly relaxed.
The Second Hokage tilted his head and looked at the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, who was not far away.
"Brother, you finally came."
The First Hokage scratched his head.
"My consciousness had been trapped until just now…"
"More importantly than that, we must stop this Masked Man immediately!"
After saying this, Hashirama's face took on the appearance of a Sage Mask. He clapped his hands together!
Clap!
"Sage Art · Wood Release! Tru—"
Before Hashirama could finish shouting…
"Swish——!!"
The Masked Man, along with the two tailed beasts, vanished into thin air! (꒪⌓꒪)
The Second Hokage shouted in anger,
"It's an Uchiha Dojutsu, isn't it?! Damn Uchiha! (ꐦ ಠ 皿 ಠ)"
"Too bad I didn't get a chance to fight him directly. If only I could put a Flying Thunder God Seal on him…"
Just as the Second Hokage fumed, a voice called from behind:
"Namikaze Minato here… more important than all this, can the First and Second Hokages come see my son?! ˃ ˄ ˂"
"He and this Cloud Village ninja had their tailed beasts extracted—they're on the verge of death. T^T"
"First Hokage, you should have a way, right?"
The First Hokage waved his hand and approached Naruto and Killer B. His presence radiated reassurance.
"Don't worry, I'll take a look…"
After a while, he frowned.
"A Jinchūriki and their tailed beast share the same life—what benefits one, suffers both; what harms one, harms both. The moment the tailed beast was extracted, their lives were already near the end."
"Right now, I can only temporarily sustain them with chakra, but this is by no means a permanent solution…"
As Hashirama pondered how to save them, Tsunade's voice came from behind:
"Grandpa…"
Hashirama turned and, upon seeing Tsunade, his face lit up with joy.
"My little Tsunade, my precious granddaughter! It's wonderful to see you again! ٩(๑ᵒ̴̶̷͈᷄ᗨᵒ̴̶̷͈᷅)و"
"Wait! Who did this to you?! I'll avenge you right now!"
The Second Hokage crossed his arms and sneered.
"It was you, Brother! Your body was being controlled!"
First Hokage: (||๐_๐)
Soon, the disappointed expression on Hashirama's face vanished, replaced by intense fury!
He glared at Orochimaru not far away, chakra surging violently around him.
"Woah——!!"
The pressure released!
Orochimaru and Kabuto went pale instantly.
Kabuto was nearly scared into a puddle. Though trying to remain composed, his body trembled uncontrollably.
"So terrifying… no wonder he's called the God of Shinobi… Orochimaru-sama, please cancel the Edo Tensei quickly—he might actually kill us! (°A°`)"
Orochimaru remained far calmer than Kabuto.
"It's already too late. The moment I canceled the will suppression on him, he had already broken free from Edo Tensei…"
"In other words, he's now a completely independent Edo Tensei. Even if I revoke the Edo Tensei, he won't disappear…"
Kabuto: ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!!
"Then we're doomed, aren't we?!"
Orochimaru: "Relax. The First Hokage isn't unreasonable."
Hashirama: "Since you released my consciousness in the end, and you're a disciple of Sarutobi, I'll spare your life today."
Second Hokage: "Brother… leaving him alive is still a danger…"
Hashirama raised a hand.
"Senju Tobirama, enough talk. Go check on little Tsunade."
Soon, with Tobirama's help, Tsunade's injuries were restored. She spoke:
"Find Shinju. He can save someone even after their tailed beast has been extracted…"
"Shinju… again with Shinju? (º Д º*)"
Tobirama frowned. What kind of guy is this—he seems to know everything?
Hearing Tobirama's doubt, the First Hokage asked:
"Who is Shinju? What happened?"
Second Hokage: "I'll explain later. For now, we need to find him…"
Before he finished speaking, he blinked—and noticed someone had appeared next to the blond boy out of nowhere!
A second blink confirmed it—the person was still there!
Σ(っ °Д °;)っ
It wasn't an illusion!!
"Hey, kid! Who are you? Why are you here?!" The Second Hokage pointed at the red-haired boy.
Shinju, who had flown here via Flying Thunder God Technique, didn't even lift his head.
"Shinju," he said.
He had received a message from the Allied Shinobi Forces' HQ: a suspected revival of the God of Shinobi was about to target Naruto. He rushed here without delay.
Seeing the situation firsthand, he thought, Good thing I arrived in time!
After a quick check of Naruto and Killer B, Shinju said seriously:
"Someone help me draw the formation."
"It requires deep understanding of sealing formations and preferably some knowledge of space-time sealing basics…"
The Second Hokage felt he fit the young boy's criteria perfectly and considered raising his hand to volunteer…
Then he suddenly realized: he is the Second Hokage. How could he be ordered around by a junior? That would be humiliating!
Seeing no one respond, Shinju started drawing the runes by himself.
The four Hokages gathered around, curiously watching his every stroke.
Finally, Tobirama couldn't resist and asked:
"Why use uneven spirals here? Wouldn't a Four Symbols Seal be better? (‧_‧?)"
Shinju remained indifferent, tapping the drawn runes.
"This spot is for me. During the technique, I must remain hidden."
"If we switched to a Four Symbols Seal as you suggest, the cost of the exchange would be lower—but my safety couldn't be guaranteed."
"Who are you? If you're not helping, don't meddle. Step aside! →_→"
Those around: (⊙o⊙),⊙▽⊙,(°A°`)
He actually dared to tell the Second Hokage to step aside?!
This kid—how dare he?!
Second Hokage himself: Σ( ° △ °|||)︴
He… he…
He's a junior who doesn't even know me, and yet dares to speak to me like this?!
Hiss~
But he's… actually right. He knows what he's doing! (´◊ω◊｀)
It's a path I never imagined in my lifetime.
So, the proud Second Hokage said:
"You're drawing too slowly. Teach me the spell—I'll help you."
Shinju nodded generously, handing him a brush and ink, warning:
"Draw exactly as I say. No personal interpretation!"
Second Hokage: "I've studied more techniques than you've lived days, and you doubt me? (′д｀σ)σ"
Shinju: "Don't want to draw? Fine, give me back the brush! (▼ヘ▼#)"
Second Hokage: •﹏•
"Fine… I'll draw… just tell me what to do… (✘_✘)"
This kid… is he more like an elder than I am?!
