Naruto Puppet Master

After appeasing Ino Shikacho and others, the Third Hokage looked at Orochimaru again and said: "Orochimaru, why don't you just talk about the situation of the Fourth Kazekage and talk about the institutional reform of Sand Ninja Village?"

"Because I haven't fought against the Fourth Kazekage, I can't be very sure of the other party's strength level even though I have a vague sense of aura, because later I found out that the Fourth Kazekage I saw was simply his puppet clone. That's all." Orochimaru explained:

"What kind of clone technique can hide from your close observation?" The third Hokage said with a slight frown:

"That's right, what happened to you at that time! Didn't you have close contact with others? How come you can't even tell whether others are clones or their true bodies." Jiraiya said habitually:

"Shut up, idiot. Orochimaru must have a reason. Just listen carefully." Tsunade continued to support the always calm and wise Orochimaru and said loudly:

"Jiraiya, if one day you suddenly feel that your disciple gives you a great sense of threat and oppression, will you still consider the possibility that the other party is a clone? You must know that the Fourth Kazekage was only ten years old. Looks like he's old."

"When I first met him, I could feel a faint threat from him, so I didn't think about him at all at that time." Orochimaru said with a slight self-deprecation: "I can accept someone who is stronger than myself. Master, even if he is really, really young, who would think that the clone of a ten-year-old child would still bring a sense of threat to him."

"Is there no news about this in Sand Ninja Village?" The Third Hokage frowned and asked:

"Yes, but vaguely."

"The most widely circulated news I found in the Sand Ninja Village is that the Fourth Kazekage's martial arts skills are very powerful. The martial arts training system was established by his example. I'm afraid he can break through the boundaries of Kage level with physical training. He will not be weaker than the Shura currently active in the Kingdom of Water, and may even be stronger."

"Furthermore, he became a ninja as a puppet master in his early years. Before he became the Kazekage, he was also a genius puppet master like Scorpion. Now the most widely circulated beast puppet in the Sand Ninja Village was created and spread by him, so he His attainments in puppetry shouldn't be any weaker than that of the puppet master Scorpion."

"Finally, it's about ninjutsu. There are rumors that he perfected the secret of magnetic release ninjutsu that Suna Ninja Village has been studying, which has benefited Jinsha, the Third Kazekage and others a lot, making Suna Ninja Village After the third generation of Kazekage and Sand, the magnetic release ninjutsu will truly become the inherited ninjutsu of Sand Ninja Village, just like the Tsuchikage's blood successor was eliminated."

"It can be seen that if this is really the case, the Fourth Kazekage's achievements in magnetic release ninjutsu are definitely not low. If he can perfect the magnetic release ninjutsu into a ninjutsu that can be passed down, then he himself must at least be a practitioner. If you succeed, you won’t be able to convince others at all.”

"Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, and Puppetry are all at least Kage-level standards. Damn, that's how he practices." Jiraiya said with a frustrated look:

"How could such a person exist in the world?" Tsunade murmured: "It's fake! It's not the Suna Ninja bragging about himself, is it?"

"That's right, there might be someone more talented than me." After hearing Tsunade's whispered words, Jiraiya immediately resurrected with full blood and said:

Looking at the shocked people around him, Orochimaru continued mercilessly: "The Fourth Kazekage is the real powerful Kazekage. If he had not suppressed the Red Sand Scorpion, Gold Sand, Hayakura, With the strength of Shura and others, how could he possibly be able to command them, and how could the Third Kazekage be willing to retreat behind the scenes and hand over the Sand Ninja Village to him when he was still at his peak."

"Furthermore, Suna Ninja Village does not talk about village construction-related reforms. The changes in the cultivation path alone are the most powerful proof. Without enough in-depth research and understanding, it is impossible to decisively change the reform system of Suna Ninja Village. . Without truly practicing martial arts and producing results, even if he is Kazekage, it is impossible for all the ninjas of the Sand Ninja to give up traditional chakra training and consider a new path of martial arts training.

It is simply impossible to promote the martial arts system in the ninja village. "

"And the strongest ones are not necessarily in these three well-known abilities. In my opinion, the cultivation of chakra and the research on the neglected ability of sealing may be the strongest among the Fourth Kazekage. The place."

"According to a news circulated among the senior officials of Sand Ninja Village: The Fourth Kazekage has touched the true meaning of chakra training, and he already knows the path to the next step." Orochimaru's eyes flashed with desire.

"It's coming, it's coming. It won't be long before I can get it. The Kage level will no longer be the end of Orochimaru for me."

"You mean?" the Third Hokage said in disbelief:

"Yes, Sarutobi-sensei, just as you think, if this news is true, it means that the shadow level is no longer the end of our ninjas. There are higher scenery above the shadow level that we can explore. ." Orochimaru said affirmatively in an extremely excited tone:

Hearing this, the first reaction of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Sasuke was not joy or fear but disbelief and said: "Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. There is a huge limit above the shadow level that mortals cannot touch. My teacher, the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, has not broken through the bloodline of Senju, so how could anyone in Sand Ninja Village be able to touch that level."

At this time, even the other people with mixed emotions, even Orochimaru who had already experienced the shock and Hatake Sakumo who had always been as cold as a knife, looked at the Third Hokage in disbelief.

Because what the Third Hokage just lost his composure undoubtedly shows that there really is a realm above the Kage level, and the Third Hokage knows that there is such a thing, then it is very likely that such a thing has happened in the history of Konoha. Ninja, but the key is that no one knew it before!There is absolutely no news at all!

"No, it's not without some rumors. There have been legends in the village that Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama's strength far exceeds the limit of ordinary Kage-level powerhouses. In the legend of Uchiha, even the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama can't even move a few moves under Uchiha Madara." Orochimaru thought silently.

"How is it possible? The old man has never heard of you talking about it!" Jiraiya asked in disbelief:

Hearing Jiraiya's loud inquiry, the Third Hokage recovered from his gaffe and looked at the eagerness in the eyes of the people around him. After thinking about it, the Third Hokage decided that he should tell everyone the truth, otherwise it would inevitably affect the situation. Everyone trusts him, especially someone like Hatake Sakumo who has almost reached the peak of the Kage level. No one can refuse the temptation of strength.

"I understand everyone's feelings. After all, the division of strength in the entire ninja world was very vague before. Even the title of Kage level was more of an honorary title given to the five major ninja villages. Basically everyone was Taking the leaders of the five major ninja villages as a guide, as long as they have achieved similar strength, they will all be at the Kage level, and as for the road ahead to a higher level, we all still know nothing as always."

"Especially after breaking through to the shadow level, everyone must have felt confused, because there is no way forward. Basically, at this time, everyone can only continue to refine chakra and accumulate themselves as before."

Hearing this, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo, who had been immersed in the Kage level for many years, all nodded in agreement. Of course, Orochimaru was the exception. He now knew how to get that kind of breakthrough. .

"I think back when I just learned that kind of information from the letters of the first and second generation adults, I was as excited as everyone else, and felt that the future was in sight. Now that I think about it, it was also a kind of excitement and fighting spirit. It feels full, but I have to tell you that it is actually not a place that ordinary people can touch."

"In our history in Konoha, only the first Hokage and Madara Uchiha of the Uchiha clan have reached this level. The others, even my teacher the second Hokage, are stuck at the peak of the shadow level and cannot feel that power at all. ." The Third Hokage said seriously: "That is not a power we can peek into."
