Naruto? Post Bar Naruto Super!

Afternoon, Hokage Building.

The Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "This is probably the most frequent time we've seen each other in the past few years, right? Orochimaru."

"It seems to be true, Sarutobi Sensei." Orochimaru knew without thinking that his teacher wanted him to take over again, so he simply stopped talking nonsense and said, "That Uchirin-kun will study with me for a while. He doesn't need to go to the ninja school for the time being. By the way, I want to apply for a training ground. I hope the Third Hokage can approve it."

"Huh?" After hearing what Orochimaru said, Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned for a moment. How come he suddenly had a new disciple?

"You accepted Uchirin Shincod as your apprentice? This..." He began to think quickly about the impact of doing so, and then he found that Konoha's prospects were really broad.

"If it were just my own judgment, it might be a little biased, but since Orochimaru also recognized that boy, it means that he is really suitable to carry the future of Konoha."

"Okay, no problem, but I want to know why you suddenly thought of accepting this boy as your student?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was not surprised that Orochimaru would contact Shin Cod, but he did not expect that he would go straight to this step.

He really wanted to hear an answer from Orochimaru like "Since Jiraiya has taught the Fourth Hokage, why not let me teach the Fifth Hokage?" But it was obvious that his disciple did not have such a personality.

"Maybe he just finds it interesting. As for learning from me, it was Uchirin-kun who took the initiative to suggest it. Moreover, I think it is necessary. A boy who has the ultimate bloodline limit of both offense and defense that even I can't do anything about, but his ninja qualities and tactical abilities are really like those of an ordinary person who has never been to a ninja school. However, his combat instincts are quite good. I think that with just a little training, he should be able to have the strength to surpass ordinary 'Kage'."

"Huh? Even you are helpless? Can that boy really unleash the full power of Susanoo?" Sarutobi Hiruzen was very clear about Orochimaru's strength. After all, this was the student he brought up personally. But he didn't expect that even Orochimaru couldn't break Shincod's Susanoo.

"Not all of them. I don't know what Uchiha Madara was like in his prime, but with my frontal combat ability, even if I can break through the third stage of Susanoo, it will not have any practical combat benefits. However, I will probably spend some time studying the mechanism of Susanoo, and maybe I can find a way to break it that suits me."

"Researching methods to crack Susanoo..." Although Sarutobi Hiruzen felt that researching on how to deal with villagers like this was not a good idea, there was no guarantee that someone who knew Susanoo might show up one day and attack Konoha. After all, the appearance of Shin Cod meant that the Mangekyō Sharingan would not necessarily only appear among the Uchiha clan members of Konoha. What if there was an Uchiha branch outside?

However, he still hoped that Orochimaru would research something else as much as possible.

Sarutobi Hiruzen made a summoning seal and then handed a scroll that appeared out of thin air to Orochimaru.

"What is this?" Orochimaru unfolded it and took a look. He found that it was a scroll that combined the details of practicing various ninjutsu and the understanding of the compound techniques of these ninjutsu. If one practiced according to this scroll, the final technique would be...

"Five Styles of Ninjutsu: Great Linking Bullet Technique? A compound ninjutsu that creates four shadow clones and then performs it? I've never seen Sarutobi Sensei use it before. Is it a new idea that he came up with recently?" Orochimaru admitted that this ninjutsu was probably very powerful in terms of power alone, and if it could be practiced successfully, it meant that this ninja's understanding of the five styles of Ninjutsu had reached the pinnacle.

But this technique has a very obvious problem - consumption.

"Yes, this is a brand new method I came up with after that night to deal with huge enemies. The destructive range and actual power are also quite huge. If it is on the battlefield, it can pose a huge threat to the enemy. However, this whole technique, in addition to requiring the caster to be proficient in the five nature changes, also requires an extremely large amount of chakra to be fully released in the true sense. If the enemy is not successfully annihilated, then even I dare not guarantee that I will have enough physical strength to face the subsequent battles after using it."

"But has Sarutobi-sensei ever thought about the significance of such a flashy technique? Is it simply used to assess a ninja's understanding of the five escape techniques?"

The battle of ninjas is not simply a duel of ninjutsu. Such flashy techniques have basically no practical significance. However, Orochimaru will definitely learn them. If possible, he even wants to learn all the ninjutsu in the world, but it is basically impossible for him to use this ninjutsu that does not match his tactics in actual combat.

"The chakra I can mobilize in battle is less than you, Sarutobi-sensei, and Jiraiya and Tsunade don't even have the full five nature changes."

Simply put, if nothing unexpected happens, none of Sarutobi Hiruzen's three disciples will be able to truly release this compound ninjutsu. But in the final analysis, the power of ninjutsu can be controlled according to the amount of chakra output by the caster, and it can even be further improved and optimized. The third generation thought that he did not have the ability to continue to optimize it, but Orochimaru was different.

"I think that if you are a genius like Orochimaru, you should be able to improve this technique to a level that is easier to learn and perform. No difficulty will be able to bother you. As for the meaning of this technique..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked up to Orochimaru and patted him on the shoulder after a long absence. "We are not alone. Konoha's ninjas should believe in the power of their partners. If I lose my strength in battle, as long as I have you, Jiraiya, Tsunade, Danzo, or other Konoha companions who can help share the pressure, I can still recover safely to the point where I can join the battle again."

"That's really a harsh condition for release." At this time, Orochimaru no longer trusted the power of his companions. He only believed in his own ninjutsu and research. Even if he had companions to take care of him, he would not easily consume excessive chakra for fighting.

"Yes, it's a harsh condition, but I believe this technique will always be useful. The battle situation changes rapidly, and there may be a time when I don't have to worry about chakra consumption. Who can say for sure about this kind of thing?"

At this time, Orochimaru finally put away the scroll, "I will find time to study it."

'As for when to start the research, that's not certain.'
