Genichi Kishita ultimately failed to obtain the Yin Seal from Tsunade.

The timing is wrong.

No matter how thick-skinned you are, it's useless.

However, after talking with Tsunade, Genichi Koushi was no longer in such a hurry.

Because what Tsunade said wasn't actually wrong.

The more rushed you are, the more likely you are to make mistakes.

With an overdraft panel at your disposal, and after a few years of careful development, the situation will be very different.

The following day, after breakfast, Genichi Kishita went to Sakumo Hatake's house.

One should not be too anxious, but one must continue to roll the scrolls, and one's practice cannot be stopped for even a day.

Knife skills will be one of the key areas of focus in the future.

His swordsmanship talent is slightly inferior to Water Release, but much stronger than Yang Release.

As for sealing techniques...

This is a very complex aspect, and even Genichi Shushita couldn't quite say how good his talent really was.

However, having successfully mastered the Evil-Sealing Seal and the Fire-Sealing Seal, and with significant progress in the Four Symbols Sealing Seal, it shouldn't be considered bad.

However, talent is only used to prioritize.

Genichi Shushita felt that he should learn whenever he had the time, as long as he could.

In the awful world of Naruto, having many skills is never a bad thing.

When they arrived at Sakumo Hatake's house, Genichi Kishita found that Kakashi was not home.

Sakumo Hatake didn't rush to instruct Genichi Kishita, but instead sat down in the tea room inside the room.

Genichi under the tree hurriedly brewed and poured tea, treating it as if he were at home.

Hatake Sakumo smiled and did not stop him. After Genichi Kishita finished his work, he smiled and said, "You performed exceptionally well in this mission. The Third Hokage ordered yesterday that you can choose one ninjutsu from the village's Book of Sealing. You can choose any ninjutsu except for forbidden ninjutsu that cannot be practiced."

Genichi Shushita never expected such a huge surprise upon his arrival, which was completely unexpected.

You can choose any ninjutsu from the Book of Seals.

Genichi's heart skipped a beat under the tree.

Flying Thunder God Technique, Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Reaper Death Seal...

Konoha has a strong foundation, with the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, playing a crucial role in this.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, was known as the professor of ninjutsu, but the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, was a master of forbidden techniques.

Any forbidden technique from Konoha that has no known developer can be assumed to have been developed by Tobirama Senju.

He didn't develop it, but he improved it.

Although Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru were better at using Flying Thunder God Technique and Edo Tensei than Tobirama Senju, Tobirama Senju was the copyright holder.

Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru can only be considered as carrying forward and popularizing it.

There are also shadow clone techniques and multiple shadow clone techniques.

It is said that the Dark Travel Technique mastered by Genichi Kinoshita was also developed by Tobirama Senju.

He felt this was very much like Tobirama Senju, since this technique was clearly designed to deal with the Uchiha clan.

There's also the art of spiritification, which Genichi Shushita believes was developed by Tobirama Senju.

During the Fourth Shinobi World War, this guy was pinned to the ground by Madara Uchiha, yet he still managed to delay Sasuke's death with a secret technique like Soul Imprisonment when Sasuke was about to be killed in one strike.

Otherwise, Sasuke Uchiha wouldn't have survived until Kabuto Yakushi rescued him.

In short, the Book of Seals contains a great many good things.

There are so many that it can be dazzling.

Countless thoughts flashed through Genichi's mind, but he asked aloud, "Master, am I the only one who can choose ninjutsu?"

Hatake Sakumo said, "Naniichi is also an option, but he can only choose B-rank ninjutsu."

B-rank ninjutsu is practically useless to the Uchiha clan.

Genichiro nodded, already wondering which ninjutsu he should choose.
Sakumo Hatake also said, "Genichi, you can think carefully about what type of ninjutsu you need before making a selection."

"You don't necessarily have to choose a high-level forbidden technique; the best one is the one that suits you."

Shuxia Xuan nodded: "Yes, teacher!"

After finishing this matter, Hatake Sakumo added, "Genichi, you have considerable talent in swordsmanship. Would you be willing to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Genichi Shushita was overjoyed and immediately stood up, bowing deeply and saying, "Teacher!"

Although they are both called teachers, it's different from before.

Previously, I was just the instructor leading the team. I only provided guidance on swordsmanship for appreciation.

But now the meaning of becoming an apprentice is completely different.

For Genichi Kinoshita, this was an even greater joy than being able to choose ninjutsu from the Book of Seals.

You can only choose one ninjutsu from the Book of Seals.

However, becoming a disciple of Sakumo Hatake means inheriting Sakumo Hatake's systematic skills.

As for how much he can learn, that depends entirely on his talent and hard work.

After the simple apprenticeship ceremony, Genichi's training under the tree began.

However, the relationship has changed, and Sakumo Hatake has become much stricter with Genichi Koushi.

After the morning's training ended, looking at Genichi panting under the tree, Hatake Sakumo said solemnly, "Genichi, if you want to establish yourself in the ninja world with swordsmanship, you must know how to incorporate chakra nature transformation into it."

"Your water-style techniques are quite good, but they're not suitable for you."

"Or perhaps you haven't found a suitable way to integrate yet, and even I can't guide you on that."

Sakumo Hatake mastered the five elements of transformation: thunder, fire, earth, wind, and water.

However, he can no longer instruct Genichi on water-based techniques.

In terms of swordsmanship, Hatake Sakumo used both Lightning Release and Wind Release techniques, which is why he was known as the White Fang of Konoha.

“Although you don’t need to consider using any nature transformations right now, you will need to take that step someday, otherwise it will be difficult to stand alone with your swordsmanship.”

Hatake Sakumo said.

Not only Genichi Kinoshita, but even his son Kakashi, are not yet at the point where nature transformation is involved.

He's not even good at basic knife skills yet, no rush.

But a direction must be found.

For example, Kakashi is already training in Lightning Release on his own, while also practicing Earth Release as a secondary skill.

Hearing what Sakumo Hatake said, Genichi Shushita nodded repeatedly.

Sword techniques with and without chakra have completely different power.

The White Fang Short Sword was indestructible in the hands of Sakumo Hatake, but it was broken in Kakashi's hands.

This is the difference.

It has to be said that Sakumo Hatake's death was a huge blow to Kakashi, to the point that he completely gave up on swordsmanship later on.

Even so, the foundation he laid in his childhood still allowed Kakashi to wield the Executioner's Blade in no way inferior to the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist.

Of course, Chidori and Raikiri are not bad either.

But if Sakumo Hatake hadn't died, and Kakashi had continued to receive his father's guidance, what kind of achievements would he have made in the future?

Genichi Shushita was very much looking forward to it.

But what he looked forward to even more was himself.

My future self!
However, the future is based on the present.

If you want to combine swordsmanship and nature transformation, which one should you choose?

Genichi under the tree pondered to himself.

But then I realized that it didn't seem necessary to think about it too much.

Lightning Release and Wind Release are the most suitable.

But now he has mastered the nature transformation of Wind Release, although it is only a preliminary understanding.

"If you don't have the talent, time will make up for it!"

Genichi under the tree gritted his teeth inwardly.

Being born without wind and thunder attributes does not mean one cannot cultivate wind and thunder nature transformations.

However, it is much more difficult to cultivate.
