Konoha training ground.
"Rebound."
Sakura Haruno faced Kakashi's Great Fireball Jutsu, pulling her hands apart to create a huge Chakra net that enveloped the fireball. After a surge of energy, it was flung back.
Boom!
Kakashi, who had just spewed the fireball, was dumbfounded.
Sakura doesn't need to form hand seals to use Ninjutsu?
Hand Seal-less Ninjutsu?
He truly didn't know this. Ever since Sakura became a Chunin, he hadn't teamed up with her much.
He only knew that Sakura's medical Ninjutsu had rapidly improved under Lady Tsunade's guidance.
Whoosh!
While he was thinking that, his reaction was still very fast.
He moved from his original spot, avoiding the rebounding Great Fireball Jutsu.
"Kakashi-sensei, we got you."
Just then, two Narutos appeared, each grabbing an arm, restraining Kakashi.
Behind Kakashi, another Naruto appeared.
And he was squatting.
He held a tiger hand seal.
"One Thousand Years of Death."
Bang!
...This was the battle to test Naruto and Sakura's strength after Naruto returned.
After the Nadeshiko Shizuka incident, Jiraiya brought Naruto back.
Since everyone was there, Tsunade had Kakashi fight Naruto and Sakura.
To test Naruto's strength after these past few years.
"What a coincidence, after one show, there's another.
Keigo, look, these older brothers and sisters are so amazing.
Do you feel any pressure?"
Satoru is very concerned about Keigo's words now.
He felt like he hadn't fulfilled his duty as a father.
He had no sense of involvement at all.
So he would try his best to communicate with Keigo.
"What pressure do I have? No pressure.
They are all companions, aren't they?
Their enemies are the ones under pressure."
Keigo's words were astonishing.
"Then do you want to become as strong as them?"
"Very strong? I feel like even if they combine their strength, they can't beat Dad."
Keigo said, flattering him.
Satoru's eyes gleamed with excitement: "Heh, you finally said something that satisfies Dad. Even if they combine their strength, they can't beat me, your Dad."
"So, Dad, can you teach me to be stronger than them?" asked Keigo.
"Of course."
"Since that's the case, why would you ask such a childish question?
In the future, I will definitely be an excellent Jonin.
At worst, I can become the CEO of Ichiraku Ramen and make Ichiraku Ramen prosper, providing countless Ninja resources for our Ninja family."
Keigo said.
"And my goal isn't just to be a Jonin.
That's too low. I want to engage in research, to study the ultimate secrets of Chakra and Ninjutsu.
Becoming a Jonin is just to get access to more resources related to Chakra and Ninjutsu."
Satoru rolled his eyes at this.
Good heavens, the same dream as Orochimaru.
He won't end up like Orochimaru, researching an immortality Ninjutsu first to uncover the ultimate secrets of Chakra and Ninjutsu, will he?
"You... never mind. Having dreams is a good thing. I'll find you a good teacher then!"
Satoru was speechless.
Even with his talent, he wouldn't dare say he could research the ultimate secrets of Chakra and Ninjutsu.
You, a three-year-old brat... "Teacher? Among all of Konoha, only Dad has the deepest research into Ninjutsu, right?
Could it be Ninja from other countries, or scientists?"
Keigo's eyes showed anticipation.
If even his proud Dad considered someone a good teacher, that person must be very powerful.
"I can't invite them for now. Maybe there will be an opportunity in the future."
"Then it's a promise."
"Mm."
Satoru's idea was naturally Orochimaru.
He hoped that his butterfly effect hadn't actually caused him to die.
That should be highly unlikely.
Because Orochimaru's Cursed Seal wasn't just placed on Sasuke.
In the original story, the number of Orochimaru's Cursed Seal test subjects released by Sasuke alone was unknown.
Now, Orochimaru's Cursed Seal is very mature.
The Living Corpse Reincarnation must be even more mature than before, so he shouldn't die.
Only someone like Orochimaru could be his youngest son's teacher.
Satoru highly recognized Orochimaru's abilities.
Even though Orochimaru is currently a Konoha rogue Ninja.
"That guy truly is the deepest researcher of Chakra in the Ninja World. He actually sealed the nerves I had previously placed on Sasuke!"
Satoru praised inwardly.
As his Sage Mode and nerve transfer development were completed, he had been thinking of trying to transfer himself to Sasuke.
When he formed hand seals to use the Ninjutsu, he found that the nerves he had placed could no longer be sensed.
One must know that in Sage Mode, his perception was amplified dozens of times.
Fortunately, his Ninjutsu is constantly updated and iterated, and he doesn't just know one Ninjutsu. Otherwise, Orochimaru might have already deciphered his Forced Execution, and he might have found a weakness.
When a normal Ninja's trump card is found to have a weakness, it's basically game over.
Only an Omnipotence Ninja like him can use an endless stream of Ninjutsu.
"I still can't be complacent. The Akatsuki Organization is no longer a threat, but in the future, there will be the Ōtsutsuki Shibai, a 'mechanic monster'.
And one of his abilities, I remember, is Killing Intent Reflection.
Anyone who directs killing intent towards him will be countered by this divine Ninjutsu.
The stronger the killing intent, the higher the attack rebound.
I don't know if this ability can reflect both active and passive killing intent.
I must create a Ninjutsu to counter this mechanism."
Satoru can now be said to be ridiculously strong. Besides Sasuke and Naruto, who possess Yin and Yang Release, and Kaguya, it can be said that Madara can only lick his toes.
He has that confidence.
Because compared to'stat monsters' and 'mechanic monsters', Uchiha Madara, who is still a mortal body and a Ninja with rich combat experience, is suppressed by him.
Satoru is confident that his combat experience is no less than Uchiha Madara's, and there's also the information gap.
His current target is also not Ōtsutsuki Kaguya; Naruto and Sasuke will naturally handle that. He only needs to preserve his strength and guard against Kara.
He also has a countermeasure for the divine Ninjutsu, Killing Intent Reflection.
He had thought before that if the Boruto storyline appeared, he would have to decipher this divine Ninjutsu.
Similar to deciphering the divine Ninjutsu that alters perception, which was broken by the Heart Steel ability.
For Killing Intent Reflection, his initial idea was to first seal the emotions of the soul, leaving only computer-like data instructions, and control the body to fight like a robot, based on Heart Steel.
This way, there would be no emotional influence, and no killing intent would arise.
"But if the opponent's divine Ninjutsu isn't just about emotional killing intent,
but can also judge killing intent from physical actions, then it would be too late to consider it.
Perhaps Boruto's Jogan ability in later generations includes the power to purify such divine Ninjutsu,
which is why he is the protagonist."
Satoru cannot ignore the possibilities that might exist.
After all, Ōtsutsuki Shibai from Boruto is hailed as the All-Knowing, Omnipotence God.
It wouldn't be too strange for his abilities to include such a mechanism for judging killing intent from actions.
