"You've been here for so long, is there any ninjutsu you want to learn?"
Fugaku asked.
"I've just started school, so I'm afraid I'm not old enough to learn ninjutsu yet."
Seiji looked hesitant.
"You can learn it later. Choosing ninjutsu is a privilege that all Uchiha can enjoy."
Fugaku's gaze fell on Seiji.
That old-fashioned square face gives people a sense of majesty without even being angry.
Every Uchiha ninja has this right.
The inventory of ninjutsu is also the result of contributions from clan members over generations.
"Well...thank you very much, Master Fugaku-sama."
Seiji said pretending to be grateful.
Seeing Seiji's attitude, Fugaku nodded with satisfaction.
Using some ninjutsu in exchange for Seiji's recognition of the Uchiha clan is a deal that can only benefit him and the clan.
According to the Chunin teachers in the Ninja School, Seiji seems to have great talent.
This makes it increasingly necessary for Seiji to establish ties with the clan.
If it cannot be established, it must be marginalized.
The Uchiha clan needs loyal Uchiha.
"Is there any kind of ninjutsu you want to practice?"
Fugaku spoke again.
There are five basic types of release techniques circulating in the ninja world.
Water release, fire release, wind release, lightning release, earth release.
The rest all fall within the scope of secret techniques or bloodline limits.
"Lightning release, I've used chakra test paper before, it has the "lightning" attribute."
Seiji pretended to think for a while and then said the ninjutsu he wanted.
Lightning release.
The Yotsuki clan is very adaptable to the Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
Once Seiji gets it, it will be like adding wings to a tiger.
Among the five basic attributes of release techniques, no matter which one you use, there is actually a lot of potential.
It's just that the ninja world is too traditional and relies too much on chakra. Chakra can make or break you.
Many technologies are covered with a layer of chakra core and ignore other physical laws.
For example, Lightning Release can derive "magnetism", that is, electricity generates magnetism, and control the power of the magnetic field.
One can even use this magnetic force to distort gravity, use electric fields to manipulate electron orbits, and so on.
There are so many directions to choose from.
This is exactly the unique perspective that Seiji possesses as a transmigrator.
Simply using lightning to strengthen the body or utilizing natural Lightning is too crude.
Even if it is fire release, he can still play it well.
The development of Fire release Ninjutsu essentially consists of two aspects.
Plasma creation and temperature control.
It can be turned to molecular motion control or energy flow control. Speeding up molecular motion means increasing temperature, and slowing it down means cooling down. At the same time, things like high frequency can be developed.
When it comes to developing science and technology, it is actually Kumo, who seems to be the most reckless, who has gone the furthest.
Orochimaru is only good at biological science and genetic engineering.
In the last theatrical version of Naruto Shippuden, "THE LAST", only a few years after the Fourth Ninja World War, Kumo village developed the chakra cannon.
It is powerful enough to destroy the moon with a single shot, and is the most powerful weapon in the ninja world.
"Okay."
Fugaku nodded.
The Uchiha clan has quite a few scrolls of lightning-release ninjutsu in their ninjutsu inventory.
"Later, I'll have someone take you to get the scroll you like. Remember, don't aim too high. A D-rank will be enough."
"Yes, thank you, Fugaku-sama."
Seiji pretended to be grateful once again.
"Okay, okay, let's eat."
Mikoto looked at the dishes and said:
"If you don't eat now, it will get cold."
"Um."
Seiji filled a bowl with rice.
If he wants to grow, adequate nutrition is essential.
Then, Fugaku brought up other topics and chatted with Mikoto from time to time.
Occasionally, the old-fashioned Fugaku would tell one or two interesting anecdotes to amuse Mikoto.
Seiji ate in silence.
..…
About half an hour later, Mikoto brought Seiji back from Fugaku's house.
The two walked back the way they came.
"Mikoto-Sama, what's the typical retirement age for ninjas?"
Seiji spoke.
Ninjas don't seem to have a legal retirement age.
And he hasn't heard that there is a pension after retirement.
"Retire? Hmm..."
Mikoto thought about it for a while.
"Most ninjas don't live long enough to retire, but if they want to retire, they can apply. Once approved, they will retire and leave the ninja industry."
Mikoto didn't see many old ninjas who lived to their eighties or nineties, but she did see quite a few Genin who graduated from the Ninja Academy.
Because they couldn't stand the cruel world of ninja and chose to retire.
"I see."
Seiji nodded.
That's true.
In " Itachi Shinden: Book of Dark Night", there is a female ninja named Shinko in Itachi's "Team 2". She felt despair about the cruel world of ninja and gave up her qualification as a ninja.
Later she worked in a tea shop in the village.
Ninjas are tools.
When using tools, do you consider the degree of wear and tear?
One must know, this is a world where even children go to the battlefield.
With a kunai in hand, one has to go to the battlefield and kill people.
There is no psychological counseling for these ninjas.
If one looks at it this way, it makes sense that the ninja world is full of extremists and mentally ill people.
They had long been quietly distorted under the ninja system.
"But as for me, I may retire soon."
When Mikoto said this, her voice became noticeably softer.
"Then congratulations, Mikoto-sama."
Seiji congratulated her with a smile on his face, but his heart was cold.
Is Itachi about to be born?
This made Seiju feel depressed.
"When you don't want to be a ninja anymore, you can retire too."
Mikoto smiled.
Seiji continued to walk with Mikoto, one in front of the other.
He raised his head and looked at the woman walking in front of him.
Is there a way to prevent Itachi from being born?
The Sharingan in Seiji's left eye had a faint hint of red.
The power of his sharingan is rippling.
Seiji closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, it was pitch black again.
As for Fugaku, Seiji only felt that he was a weak hypocrite.
It was really a pity for Mikoto and him that they ended up dying.
Fugaku gave him ninjutsu in order to gain recognition from the Uchiha clan, which was essentially the same as Kumo village attempt to win him over.
From now on, Seiji will naturally have to have Uchiha to do things and contribute.
It's like a transaction.
If that were the case, it would be fine, Seiji also agreed.
But... Fugaku never considered the Uchiha outside of his family as clan members.
Uchiha Fugaku cannot escape the responsibility for killing the Uchiha clan.
When Itachi betrayed the Uchiha clan, he massacred a large number of innocent people.
And he killed his way all the way home. As the clan leader, is it possible that Fugaku didn't notice anything?
In the anime version, he also has the Mangekyō Sharingan.
But he never revealed it to his Clan members.
On the contrary, he was satisfied that Itachi was determined to do his own thing, and encouraged and praised him.
In " Itachi Shinden: Book of Dark Night", he said to Itachi: "Even if we think differently, you are still our pride..."
He willingly let himself and Mikoto die together at the hands of Itachi.
The only person he mentioned was his other son, Sasuke.
Outside the gate, there were countless clansmen whose bodies were still warm...
The majority of the Uchiha clan are ordinary people.
Not everyone is qualified to be a ninja, just like only a few people can open the Sharingan.
Unfortunately, the clan leader chosen by the Uchiha clan chose to betray them.
Seiji doesn't want to be buried with this distorted concept.
