Chapter 4
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not feel anything wrong with Naruto's training. Instead, Shimura Danzo, after learning about Naruto's situation through reports from his subordinates, privately found Sarutobi Hiruzen and urgently wanted Sarutobi Hiruzen to hand Naruto over to him.
For this purpose, he also promised to build a real war weapon for the village, and it would never get out of control.
Of course, Danzo's request was also strongly rejected by Sarutobi Hiruzen. Sarutobi Hiruzen knew very well that Danzo's brainwashing of the root members and the tongue-wielding technique were not a long-term solution.
Danzo's methods were too extreme. Because of the extremes, the revenge suffered by the enslaved in the future would be even more irreparable.
Especially for a Jinchūriki like Uzumaki Naruto who possessed the Nine-Tails, no one could bear the consequences if he launched a desperate counterattack.
Therefore, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought that it would be better to boil a frog in warm water. When the Jinchūriki is young, he should be educated slowly with gentle means, and guide him to the cognition he needs, so as to quietly change a person's nature. This is the best strategy.
In response to Sarutobi Hiruzen's refusal, Danzo once again angrily said:"Huruzen, you will regret it!"
"Danzo, I am the Hokage!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's attitude was extremely tough.
……
Unconsciously, Naruto welcomed his first winter in this world. Of course, even the snowy winter could not stop Naruto from going out to practice.
In order to improve his control of chakra, he even forced himself to attach his chakra to the soles of his feet the first step out of the door, so as to achieve the real snow-free step, until he returned to his house after training.
The effect of practicing day after day is also obvious to Naruto. Now Naruto can even easily step on a small branch without shaking the branch, and he can even step on the water flow upstream along the waterfall.
In short, Naruto's current control of chakra even shocked Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If it weren't for Naruto's age, he would have arranged for Naruto to go to school directly to learn basic ninjutsu and instill Konoha's standard will and thought.
On this day, it snowed heavily outside again, but Naruto was unmoved and went out to start his daily practice as usual.
Although it is difficult for him to make any progress in practice at this age, after all, it is like sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat.
A moment of laziness will lead to laziness in every special situation in the future. It doesn't matter if it happens once or twice, but if he is so lazy every time, how can he become stronger and face all kinds of crises in the future? Although the amount of chakra and the degree of control are almost impossible to improve, there are many ways to become stronger, such as flexible body movements.
For this reason, Naruto simply copied some plum blossom piles according to his memory before crossing, hoping to rely on this method to improve his movement and dodge.
From the beginning of moving one brick high step by step, to the later vertical and horizontal jumps of more than three meters.
Of course, Naruto will not stop there. For this reason, he deliberately blindfolded his eyes and performed various"points, turns, sinks, moves, releases, drops, leads, and advances" on the plum blossom piles based on his memory alone.
In short, the plum blossom piles are unpredictable and endless. As long as you are strong enough, you can perform almost all kinds of body movements on them.
Moreover, Naruto's plum blossom piles have also attracted much attention from the top leaders of Konoha. For this reason, Sarutobi Hiruzen specially found Naruto and asked him carefully how Naruto thought of using this method to practice body movements and physical skills.
Naruto had already prepared an excuse. He said that he often saw the uncle with thick eyebrows jumping on some piles of rocks and between treetops. He envied him but could not jump that high. So he thought of finding some wooden stakes and burying them in the soil to try to practice. Unexpectedly, he found it quite fun while practicing.
The third generation was a little shocked, but he had to sigh that Naruto was definitely a genius. With a little observation, he could draw inferences from one instance to another and come up with this kind of training technique.
Then, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked Naruto if he had a name for his training method.
Naruto pretended to think for a while, and then said,"Well - I used wooden stakes to drive them into the ground. They look a bit like plum blossoms. Why not call them 'plum blossom stakes'?"
"Plum Blossom Pile? Good, that's a good name. Little Naruto, I have a request from you, old man. I wonder if you can agree to it?"Sarutobi Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, his happy face looked like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Third-generation grandfather, just tell me, I, Uzumaki Naruto, will help you complete it even if I die!" Naruto patted his chest and vowed
"Hahaha, no, no, I want to pass on your plum blossom pile to the ninja school, so that the children in the school can also learn to practice their own body movements and physical skills. I wonder if Naruto is willing?"
This is the brilliance of the third generation. Obviously, he could ignore Uzumaki Naruto and hand over the plum blossom pile to the school teacher, but Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to do this.
In this way, Naruto felt that he really helped the village and was recognized by everyone, making him more and more dependent on and expectant of the village or the Hokage.
After all, everyone has been a child, and the third generation knows very well that sometimes a child does something that he thinks is great, and he will look forward to the recognition and praise of others, hoping that everyone likes him and cheers for him. Therefore, the third generation deliberately asked for Naruto's opinion.
Of course Naruto couldn't refuse. After all, it would be useless even if he refused. The other party already had the strength to take it by force. Asking for his opinion was purely to give himself a way out. If he really refused, it would cause dissatisfaction from the Third Generation, and various unexpected situations would arise in the future. So it is better to have less trouble than more.
However, the Third Generation did not let Naruto contribute his plum blossom pile in vain, and specially sent someone to teach Naruto the Three Body Technique.
So far, Naruto has finally learned the first ninjutsu since he traveled through time. Of course, learning three ninjutsu at once does not distinguish between first come first served.
After all, Naruto's control over chakra is obvious to all. The Third Hokage had long planned to teach Naruto the Three Body Technique, and took this opportunity to exchange Naruto's plum blossom stake with the Three Body Technique, so that Naruto could feel the love of the village leaders for him.
Naruto also learned the transformation technique easily, and as for the clone technique and substitute technique, he only mastered the hand seal method and had not had time to study in depth.
In short, the Uzumaki Naruto in the original work developed a different kind of seduction technique based on the transformation technique. It can only be said that Naruto himself is an extremely talented child in the transformation technique, but it is hard to say whether he is serious or not.
When there was no one around, Naruto completely let go. After all, his control over chakra was too high. Although he was not yet... And in the original work, he used the Nine-Tails robe to lift the clod of earth with ease, but he was also slowly approaching that level.
Therefore, it took Naruto only half a quarter of an hour to fully master the basic Three Body Technique, but his speed was not as fast as those ninjas who had been practicing for a long time. At this moment, Naruto finally understood why ninjutsu could be performed.
Almost every ninjutsu has its own unique hand seals, and only by making the corresponding and correct hand seals can the ninjutsu be successfully performed. The purpose of making hand seals is to guide the chakra in the body more effectively and quickly, and to blend them with fixed and unique routes and corresponding proportions to produce peculiar reactions, and finally the ninjutsu is successfully performed.
"I see. If I could just rely on the inertia of chakra flowing in my body and control it with my mind, wouldn't I be able to complete the Unified Ninjutsu?"
"No, mind control is a bit too far-fetched. It may require blood of almost the purity of the Six Paths Sage or the opening of the Samsara Eye. No, I can also draw inferences from one instance to another. The puppetry of the Sand Village in the Wind Country has a bit of the flavor of controlling external chakra. I can find a chance to learn from it then."
Naruto, who turned a deaf ear to the outside world and focused on his own training, spent the winter unknowingly. Naruto was four years old at this time.
However, in the previous year, Konoha Village was not as peaceful as it seemed.
First, Orochimaru conducted human experiments more and more frequently, and because Danzo was extremely worried about him, he secretly exposed Orochimaru, who defected.
After all, Danzo's arm full of red-eye eyeballs was real evidence. If he was exposed, no one else in Konoha would forgive him.
And then... The Hidden Cloud Village of the Land of Lightning coveted the Byakugan of the Hyuga family. Under the pretext of reaching a good cooperation with the Hidden Leaf Village, they sent an envoy to the Hidden Leaf Village to discuss the alliance. However, they secretly kidnapped the three-year-old Hyuga eldest daughter Hinata.
Fortunately, Hyuga Hiashi always cared about his little girl very much. He showed up in time and saved little Hinata. However, the Hidden Cloud Village took this opportunity to bite back, saying that their Hidden Cloud Village envoy was assassinated in the Hidden Leaf Village. If Konoha did not compensate for the loss, they would completely break with Konoha, directly opening the Fourth Ninja World.���Battle.
The Konoha high-level officials were timid and afraid of trouble. Although they had the Uchiha and Hyuga clans, two of the best bloodline families in the ninja world, they were timid.
In the end, the twin brother of the Hyuga clan leader, Hyuga Hizashi, seemed to be coerced by the main family to help his brother take the blame and committed suicide. His body was also taken away by the Hidden Cloud Village.
Although Naruto has been vague about these plots, he can recall them just by the words of passers-by.
Naruto sneered at Konoha's handling of this aspect and became more and more dissatisfied with the third generation. It seems that the Hyuga clan was fortunate that they did not give birth to ninjas as strong as Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara. Otherwise, the Hyuga clan would have been completely destroyed by Sarutobi Hiruzen and Shimura Danzo.
Look at the Senju clan and Uchiha in the original work. One clan was left with a gambler without knowing it, and the other clan was left with only a few big cats and small cats. This is because they are too strong to cause others to be jealous, and almost everyone wants to disintegrate them from the root.
In short, except for a few individuals, all those who hold high positions in the ninja world are not good people!
