“I didn’t expect Sosuke to also be able to use Master Tobirama’s jutsu.”
Danzo Shimura said indifferently.
“Indeed.” A hint of memory surfaced in Hiruzen Sarutobi’s eyes.
In today’s Konoha, there aren’t many Ninjas who can use Water Release.
And perhaps Sosuke is the only one left who can use the Water Release Ninjutsu left behind by Master Tobirama.
After all, the Senju Clan has disbanded, and most of the inheritance was given to Tsunade alone.
As a princess, Tsunade naturally possesses such a privilege.
“So, why don’t you let me take him?
Three years later, he will surely be able to recreate some of Master’s former glory.” Danzo Shimura did not forget his original intention and continued to talk to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Recently, his experiments with Orochimaru have made some progress.
There was a mysterious connection between the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan.
For example, the power of Yang Release in the cells of the Senju can suppress the power of Yin Release in the Sharingan.
Of course, the cells of ordinary Senju clansmen are not very effective; the best in this regard are still the “Hashirama cells”.
Danzo Shimura was very interested in an alternative existence like Sosuke.
He felt that this would accelerate the speed at which he could obtain the power of the Sharingan.
The so-called “Eyes of All Learning”—although Danzo Shimura hated the Uchiha, he did not hate the Sharingan.
“Enough, don’t say such things again in the future.” Hiruzen Sarutobi, whose expression had softened, suddenly became serious again.
How could he not know the ulterior motives of his old friend?
This would simply harm Sosuke.
“Hmph.” Seeing his proposal rejected again, Danzo Shimura held it in, did not slam the door, but pushed it open and left.
Last time, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already pinned the blame on him!
Seeing Danzo Shimura leave, Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head, called an Anbu Ninja, and asked him to collect Sosuke’s recent intelligence for him.
That night, the Uchiha Clan compound.
Uchiha Tekka was kneeling on the wooden floor of the training ground, and Uchiha Yashiro in front of him had his brows tightly furrowed.
“Even you lost?” There was a hint of disbelief in Uchiha Yashiro’s voice.
If it was expected that the dead-last Obito would lose to Sosuke, Uchiha Tekka’s defeat made him unable to sit still.
Although Uchiha Tekka was not the top genius of his generation within the clan, he was a pure-blooded Uchiha who had received formal training since childhood, and he had laid a solid foundation in Fire Release and shurikenjutsu.
It is said that he even performed as usual and successfully used the “Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique”.
Although the power was slightly less than a true Great Fireball, it was not something that could be blocked casually.
“His speed is very fast.” Uchiha Tekka lowered his head. The source of this chapter is g.com.
“And that Water Release Ninjutsu…
is very intricate.”
He didn’t know what level the Water Release Sosuke used was…
Sosuke was already fast; he jumped up directly, and with the downward momentum of the attack, he simply couldn’t react.
But…
a loss is a loss.
Uchiha Tekka didn’t want to make excuses.
This was the shame of the Uchiha.
“Water Release…” Uchiha Yashiro mused.
Is it the legacy left by Senju Tobirama?
He waved his hand, his tone softening a little: “Forget it, try harder next time.”
After Uchiha Tekka retreated, Uchiha Yashiro stood alone in the empty training ground, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
A mixed-blood living outside, who had not received a single day of training from the Uchiha Clan, yet could defeat a pure-blooded junior carefully cultivated within the clan in actual combat.
What did this mean?
Could he really be a genius?
Or a genius particularly suited for the Uchiha, just born into the Senju by mistake?
This made Uchiha Yashiro stroke his chin.
Initially, the question of Sosuke’s belonging had sparked a series of disputes, but in the end, Tsunade was allowed to take him in and raise him.
What Uchiha Yashiro was considering was whether to tell Fugaku about this.
As a loyal confidant of Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Yashiro suddenly fell into a dilemma.
Although it is currently a time of peace, the atmosphere in the Ninja World has begun to tighten subtly.
There are faint frictions on the borders, and although they are not very frequent, it can be seen that all major Ninja villages are secretly accumulating strength.
If Sosuke is truly a rare genius, shouldn’t the Uchiha Clan consider winning him over?
A few days later.
The ranking of the monthly assessment was posted on the classroom bulletin board.
Sosuke stood in the back row of the crowd, his gaze sweeping over the jostling heads to glance at the list.
First place: Kakashi Hatake, second place: Sosuke, third place…
As expected.
In this class, only he and Kakashi are relatively all-around in all aspects.
However, Sosuke estimates that he will be able to surpass Kakashi next semester.
After all, he now possesses traits, just at the initial stage of accumulation.
A small hack isn’t really hacking!
“Sosuke-san, you are indeed excellent.” Rin Nohara was also in the crowd, looking at the rankings.
“It’s alright.” Sosuke nodded slightly.
When he turned his head, he could see Obito tiptoeing, jumping up from time to time, trying to see his ranking clearly.
But when he found that his ranking was actually lower than Might Guy, he immediately made a bitter face.
At this moment, when Sosuke withdrew his gaze, a line of text suddenly popped out from the corner of his eye.
[Detected collectible trait: Talented Player]
[E-rank trait: Talented Player]
[Effect: When not relying on Bloodline Limit, Ninjutsu learning efficiency increases by 10%.]
Almost no need to guess who this trait came from.
He turned his head to look at Rin Nohara, who was looking at the list beside him.
The girl noticed his gaze, turned her head, and smiled: “I hope I can be as excellent as Sosuke-san.”
“Rin, you will definitely be able to in the future,” Sosuke said.
Rin Nohara’s theoretical grades ranked fifth, and practicals ranked in the top ten; she was already standing out among the commoner Ninjas.
More importantly, this newly dropped trait was exactly the missing piece of the puzzle he had been waiting for for a long time.
In the past half month, Sosuke had successively collected quite a few traits.
Among them was [Superior Memory], with the effect of increasing the speed of memorizing things by 10%, which came from the resident doctor in the Konoha Hospital corridor who was flipping through medical records while reciting the pharmacopeia.
And now, with Rin Nohara’s [Talented Player], the synthesis conditions were finally met.
Sosuke moved his mind and opened the trait system.
[Synthesis: Add ‘E-rank trait: Straight-A Student’ + ‘E-rank trait: Superior Memory’ + ‘E-rank trait: Talented Player’, can synthesize D-rank trait: Innate Medical Body.]
[Synthesize?]
“Synthesize,” Sosuke muttered in his heart.
The next moment, a new trait appeared.
[D-rank trait: Innate Medical Body]
[Effect: Regardless of the type of Medical Ninjutsu used, the effect is additionally increased by 20%.]
Sosuke exhaled.
Twenty percent.
This bonus is already quite considerable for a D-rank trait.
Coupled with the [Healing Talent] obtained from Tsunade earlier, his bonus effect on trauma-related treatment has already reached thirty percent.
