"Unlimited chakra...what do you mean? Hanyu, what are you hinting at?"
Faced with Hanyu's sudden statement, Orochimaru's reaction... seemed somewhat excited, which is a very rare phenomenon.
"Don't you really understand what I'm talking about? You must be able to imagine what I mean, because you must have imagined it before."
Orochimaru: "…"
Infinite chakra, this exaggerated description is actually not really that exaggerated. This dreamlike imagination of ninjas actually has a way to be realized.
"Look, you understand, that's good enough."
Hanyu put the black cat on his shoulder and forced an end to this sudden topic... The black cat stared at each other, not understanding what the two people were talking about.
The reason why Hanyu no longer discussed this topic was because he already understood Orochimaru's thoughts - Orochimaru was still relatively easy to fool, and his curiosity was even stronger than his later years, but now he did not have the rationality, judgment and cognitive abilities that he had later years.
Simply put, at this age, he wants everything and wants to get involved in everything, but he doesn't know what he really wants - if the object is Konoha's secrets.
"In short, we should first improve the freshwater aquaculture industry. The sooner we get results, the better."
Hanyu handed Samehada to Orochimaru, told the Konoha biologist to work hard, and then sent him away... Although he said "as soon as possible", who knows how fast Orochimaru can be.
…
Konoha invested considerable effort in the construction of the new block. At the same time, the new Uzumaki clan members had been properly temporarily resettled. At this time, the functions of the Shadow Stream were slowly restored.
After all, as ninjas, they can't keep skipping work.
In the following days, when Hanyu was studying his injured arm, Uzumaki Shikou, who had returned to his post, reported something to him.
"Master Hanyu, Master Danzo Shimura of the Root has made a formal request to us, hoping that we can provide the Root with a secret technique that can be used to seal and keep secret the lower-level members..."
Hanyu first put his arm back around his neck, and then asked with a little curiosity, "Are you sure that Danzo...sama used the word 'request' instead of 'demand' in his sentence?"
Why does Hanyu feel that such a polite statement is a little hard to believe when applied to Danzo?
"Of course it's a 'request'. It's a formal document."
As she spoke, Shiko handed a document to Hanyu and went on to explain, "Due to the significance and nature of the Root's existence, its members will be exposed to a lot of confidential information. In order to prevent the leakage of this information, Lord Danzo needs to impose the Information Absolute Forbidden Technique on these members... This is the explanation they gave."
Although some sealing techniques may not be very humane, ninjas, especially those in the Anbu Root, do not need to mention this word. After all, they are all "emotionless" killing machines.
It's not that Danzo's statement is incomprehensible, it's just...
Hanyu couldn't help but complain in his heart. Who knows whether Danzo wanted such a secret technique to protect the secret of the Root or to protect his own secret. After all, Danzo always liked to do some shady work, and many of them seemed to be "private work" that even the Third Hokage needed to keep secret.
So, does Shimura Danzo's request mean that he is going to start being "active"?
"Does this kind of sealing technique exist on the Uzumaki side?" Hanyu asked calmly while thinking this.
"Yes, whether it is the kind of seal that 'proclaims it in the mouth' or the kind of seal that 'seals it in the brain', Uzumaki can do it.
It's just that the language seal is simpler and more crude, while the memory seal is actually just a kind of confusion, that is, to hide some important information deep in the brain, and then cover it with more redundant information. To a certain extent, it can resist the enemy's memory search and illusion torture. "Shiko said.
There is no doubt about the Uzumaki clan's attainments in the art of sealing, but even so, compared to preventing specific people from saying certain words, protecting the memories in a person's mind is a more complicated, more difficult and not 100% effective operation.
Hanyu thought for a moment, then said, "Since Danzo wants to exchange Uzumaki's things, it is natural for Uzumaki to make the decision himself, so this request is more of a direct request to the Uzumaki clan than to the Shadow Clan.
If such a sealing technique can be exchanged and is not a core secret for the Uzumaki clan, then there is nothing wrong with giving it to Danzo.
Uzumaki has already come to Konoha. No matter what, this attitude of "willing to cooperate" is very important. It shows that you are willing to actively integrate into this village and are also willing to make some contributions.
Of course, even if you are willing to cooperate, no one can ask you to hand over this secret technique for free, so you can exchange some things with Danzo - for example, ask Danzo to provide some policy or material support in the reconstruction of the whirlpool.
This is all possible as long as the principle of equal exchange is followed.
Uzumaki's secret technique is very valuable, and Danzo is a very powerful person in Konoha, so why not cooperate like this."
Hanyu's words were completely spoken from the perspective of the Uzumaki clan. His idea was very simple. If the Uzumaki clan wanted to integrate into Konoha, the top leaders had to feel this integration. Some technologies that could be exchanged with the village could be actively exchanged.
We must not give the Konoha high-ups the impression that they are self-righteous and are blackmailing others. That attitude will not be good for either Uzumaki or Konoha in the long run.
Shiko nodded, "The clan thinks so too, but... we want to do Danzo-sama a favor. Since he wants a sealing technique like that, we can just give it to him."
This kind of thought... is normal, but Hanyu couldn't help curling his lips, "Well, there's no need for that. Danzo is the kind of person who can't sell favors. A fair exchange is the best way to deal with it."
What's the point of doing a favor for Danzo? Do you expect him to take care of Uzumaki or give him something in return? Honestly, this thought is scary... I'll be thankful that Danzo doesn't turn around and make trouble for me.
Repaying a favor? With the principle of "putting Konoha's interests first" as his backing, Shimura Danzo didn't seem to have done much to repay a favor, but he was definitely capable of repaying a favor with a vengeance.
"...I understand, Lord Hanyu." Shiko seemed to recall the cold face of Shimura Danzo, and finally...she felt that what Hanyu said made sense.
It's good to understand this. Hanyu smiled and continued, "Having said that, I also have something I want to ask Uzumaki for help…"
Then, Hanyu gave Shiko a detailed explanation of something.
"Is it possible to create a seal like this?"
Shiko thought for a moment, and then said cautiously , "If we use the Four Symbols Seal as a basis and then make some special designs, it is theoretically possible. However... if you use such a sealing technique, how can you guarantee your combat capability, Master Hanyu? Or... do you want to end your ninja career early?"
"If you connect the purpose of Shadow Stream's existence with the things that are going on and think about it for a while, you will understand that what I am going to do will not harm my combat effectiveness," said Hanyu.
"…"
Shiko carefully experienced the meaning of Hanyu's words, and then gradually understood, "I know what you mean, Master Hanyu, Uzumaki will deal with this matter as soon as possible."
Hanyu's thoughts and actions seem very vague, as if hidden in a fog, but if you think about it carefully, his intentions are actually not difficult to understand.
Since he can see into the future, he will definitely not always be the kind of ninja who goes with the flow.
