Chapter 83: Acquisition of an A-Rank Forbidden Jutsu!
"A-Rank Fire Release!"
Uchiha Takashi announced his choice.
Although his chakra nature wasn't limited to just Fire Release, it was the element he had developed the most.
Plus, the Sage Mode provided the greatest enhancement to Fire Release.
"Oh..."
Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing the Uchiha standing before him, Uchiha Takashi.
An A-Rank jutsu! Also known as a forbidden jutsu, mastered by only a handful of elite jonin, as this level of jutsu not only possesses immense power but also represents a high level of difficulty in learning and execution.
Choosing an A-Rank Fire Release meant it was something he wanted for himself.
To learn a Fire Release of this level, one must at least be at the jonin level. Coupled with the fact that he managed to thwart Danzo's plans, this was indeed intriguing.
"Very well, I have two A-Rank Fire Releases: the Grand Dragon Fire and the Fire Armor Avatar. The latter is extremely dangerous!"
Orochimaru offered two A-Rank Fire Releases.
Of course, he only mentioned the names without explaining the jutsu in detail, though he did give a word of caution.
"Fire Armor Avatar!"
Uchiha Takashi spoke without hesitation.
The name of a jutsu often contains a lot of information. He understood Orochimaru's goodwill but chose the more dangerous Fire Release.
The more dangerous it is, the more powerful it tends to be.
Jutsus with the word 'Grand' are usually associated with the Uchiha, like the Grand Fireball Jutsu or Grand Fire Annihilation, which are simple yet powerful techniques typical of the Uchiha clan.
But they weren't suitable for Uchiha Takashi!
He wanted a stronger, more dangerous Fire Release.
With a high-level Fire Release as a reference, he could develop his own 'Sage Art.'
Specially developed for the Sage Mode and with his body modified by natural energy, Fire Release posed no difficulty or danger to him.
With a puff, Orochimaru summoned a snake as thick as an arm, which spat out a scroll of the jutsu upon hearing his choice.
"No copying allowed. Return it to me in three days, and we'll take on a mission together then!"
Orochimaru tossed the scroll over.
In reality, jutsus are usually meant to be read on the spot, never allowed out of sight.
It just shows that Orochimaru truly gives benefits, and I could cry from gratitude.
No wonder so many ninjas are willing to follow him, even knowing his ruthless nature.
"Thank you, Lord Orochimaru!"
Uchiha Takashi expressed his gratitude as he received the scroll.
This was a significant benefit, but the fact that he had to personally come to receive the mission later was probably to balance out the contribution for this reward.
"It's what you deserve!"
Orochimaru waved him off nonchalantly, indicating he could leave.
"Lord Orochimaru, if I were to form a squad, would I be allowed to select my own subordinates?"
Uchiha Takashi suddenly thought of something and took the opportunity to ask.
If he were part of the Hokage faction or had some backing, this would be a basic operation, but since he had none, he could only go through Orochimaru.
"Yes!"
Orochimaru didn't even lift his head from the documents.
If Uchiha Takashi hadn't piqued his interest, it wouldn't be possible, but since he had, such a small matter was of no concern.
Perfect!
Uchiha Takashi was very satisfied with this opportunity to make a bold move.
Although it wasn't directly in front of Danzo, using Orochimaru to achieve the same effect while gaining significant benefits was an unexpected windfall.
However, the immediate priority was to form a squad, allowing him to focus on researching Sage Arts and Sage Mode.
He wasn't worried about the two joining other squads.
One had a broken leg, and the other had heart issues! It would take a death wish to team up with them, so they definitely had no teammates.
Arriving at the logistics department next door, he explained his chunin status and expressed his intention to form his own squad.
"Here's the list of available genin!"
The staff handed over the list of genin who hadn't yet been assigned to a squad.
If a genin was already part of a squad, they wouldn't appear on the list.
Chapter 83: Acquiring an A-Rank Forbidden Jutsu!
"I want Hyuga Aotsuki and Yamakawa Koji as my subordinates!" Uchiha Takashi stated directly.
Yamakawa Koji didn't dare to speak up, but Hyuga Aotsuki was definitely not on the list.
The Hyuga clan! Their value is well understood by those in the know.
Even if missing a leg makes it hard to go on missions, having a human radar like that stationed at a base makes things incredibly easy.
"This..."
The administrative ninja was about to explain when he heard the following words.
"I've already received permission from Lord Orochimaru!"
Uchiha Takashi wasn't about to play any 'show-off and face-slap' games. Even if he were to slap someone, it wouldn't be the person in front of him. It would be more satisfying to go after Danzo or the Konoha F4.
"I'll get them right away!"
The administrative ninja changed his tune without hesitation.
He wasn't worried about Uchiha Takashi lying because the consequences of impersonating Orochimaru's orders would be extremely dire.
Soon, two ninjas wearing Konoha headbands entered.
One tall and one short, one muscular and one slim, one male and one female, presenting a stark contrast.
In reality, the girl with a perfect figure wasn't short or slim.
But standing next to a bald man who was 1.8 meters tall, with muscles like iron blocks, and more robust than an adult, she naturally seemed 'short and slim.'
"From now on, you two are subordinates of Uchiha Takashi!"
The administrative ninja straightforwardly informed them and began the registration process.
From now on, they would be a team, taking on missions under the team name rather than individually.
Uchiha Takashi's team!
No need to overthink the name.
Of course, in official documents, it would definitely be replaced with a numerical code.
"Yes!" *2 Yamakawa Koji and Hyuga Aotsuki's responses were perfectly in line with their genin status.
They also didn't interact with Uchiha Takashi.
Playing up the 'complete strangers' angle.
"Alright, your team has been registered. Here is the camp and team number assigned to you!"
The administrative ninja handed over the documents.
After receiving the documents, Uchiha Takashi turned and left, with Hyuga Aotsuki and Yamakawa Koji silently following, looking as if they were meeting for the first time.
"Sigh, how pitiful!"
"Yeah, having those two as subordinates!"
"Glad they're not our teammates!"
...
There were only about a thousand ninjas in the camp, and even fewer who returned regularly. These people were naturally aware of Hyuga Aotsuki and Yamakawa Koji's situation, so they felt sorry for Uchiha Takashi.
However, they had no idea what kind of extraordinary individuals these two were.
One was a reincarnated Tenseigan wielder with combat power starting at quasi-Kage level, and the other was a 'superhuman' with two hearts.
Coupled with Uchiha Takashi, a captain who mastered Sage Mode, there were only two words to describe this team:
Unstoppable!
Oh, and their team number was '404.'
At least that's the official number, but they would definitely introduce themselves as 'Uchiha Takashi's team.'
The three of them arrived at the tent assigned to their team.
It was about ten square meters, with three small beds separated by curtains and basic living supplies.
"Let's find a place to practice ninjutsu first!"
After glancing at the tent and putting his things down, Uchiha Takashi motioned for the two to follow him out of the camp.
Some things were not suitable to discuss in the camp.
The two naturally had no objections.
Thus, Team 404 left the camp and found an open space a few kilometers away.
"Byakugan!"
Hyuga Aotsuki activated her Byakugan first, checked the surroundings, and nodded.
Now it was time to get down to business.
