"I'm like the godfather of Feiyang! It feels like flying!"
It was already late in the morning. After leaving Root, Kaze was in high spirits and even hummed a little tune.
Sure enough, happiness is always built on the pain of others.
"I haven't seen the three little ones for a long time. I'll go and have a look."
Kaze carried three brand - new Ninja tool bags and walked towards the three little ones' home with a swaggering gait that ignores everyone around.
"Brother Kaze!"
The moment she opened the door and saw Kaze, Konan happily pounced on him.
"Hehe, long time no see, Konan. Let brother see if you've gained weight."
In the envious looks of Nagato and Yahiko, Kaze picked up Konan and spun her around in the air several times.
"Brother Kaze, what's that in your hand?"
The cunning Yahiko stepped forward and pretended to be curious, trying to divert Kaze's attention.
"Ah, well..."
This trick worked! Kaze put Konan down and waved the Ninja tool bags in his hand.
"These three Ninja tool bags are gifts for you. Come on, one for each of you."
Kaze had taken these from three Cloud Ninjas. The ninja tools inside were complete, and they were just right to give to the three little ones.
"Thank you, Brother Kaze!"
The three little ones took the Ninja tool bags one by one, opened them, and started to study them with great interest.
"Take this, Yahiko!"
"Despicable Nagato, you're launching a surprise attack!"
The two boys each drew a kunai and chased each other around the yard playfully.
"Ah..."
Konan rummaged through the Ninja tool bag but couldn't find an Explosive Tag. She was a little disappointed.
She shyly tugged at Kaze's sleeve and said,
"Brother Kaze, can you bring an Explosive Tag for Konan next time? Konan really wants one."
"Hahaha." Kaze was stunned at first, then burst into laughter.
He didn't expect that Konan, so young, was already obsessed with Kakuzu's Explosive Tags. It seemed that some things were really inborn.
"No need to wait until next time. Brother will give you one now."
Kaze took out an Explosive Tag from the Ninja tool bag and handed it to the surprised Konan. At the same time, he reminded her,
"Explosive Tags are very dangerous. You should have learned in class that you must never activate an Explosive Tag in the village."
"Yeah, Konan knows. Thank you, Brother Kaze!"
Konan happily took the Explosive Tag and carefully put it into the Ninja tool bag as if it were a precious treasure.
"Alright."
After playing with the three little ones for a while, Kaze clapped his hands and said,
"You've learned quite a lot of basic knowledge at the Ninja Academy. It's time to start serious training, you know?"
"I should be less busy in the following days. When I'm free, I'll come to guide you guys."
Hearing this, Yahiko curled his lips and looked at Kaze suspiciously.
"Brother Kaze, I feel like you may not know more jutsu than the three of us combined."
Bang!
Kaze gave Yahiko a light knock on the forehead, making him cry out in pain.
Nagato looked at Kaze from under his bangs and asked expectantly, "Brother Kaze, does that mean you'll stay in the village?"
"Not going to the battlefield anymore?!" Konan also blinked her big eyes and followed up.
"Yeah, I'll stay in the village and won't go anymore." Kaze nodded with a smile.
Now that the war has calmed down a bit, Root doesn't need to assign so many people outside.
Kaze didn't want to keep going on overseas missions either, so he asked his dad to arrange things for him and transfer him back to work in the country.
Now, he is mainly responsible for monitoring and eliminating unstable factors within Konoha.
"Yeah, great!" The little kids cheered.
"To celebrate, Brother Kaze, take us out for barbecue!" Yahiko said slyly.
"No problem, let's go!" Kaze laughed.
In the thirty - sixth year of Konoha, Konoha and Sunagakure reached a peace agreement, promising not to attack each other for ten years.
Konoha's troops retreated from the Land of Rain in an orderly manner in batches.
After leaving the Land of Rain, some stayed on the border of the Land of Fire, while the others returned to Konoha.
Kaze's Father, Tanzō, had been back in the village for some time.
Shimura Residence.
Kaze was reclining on the sofa in the living room, eagerly waiting for his Father to come back.
A week ago, he applied to Tanzō to exchange his merits in the Land of Rain for a Kinjutsu from the Scroll of Seals.
And today was the day his Father promised to give him an answer.
The Scroll of Seals was a forbidden book kept by the successive Hokage. The scroll recorded a series of Kinjutsu that were banned.
The jutsu inside either violates morality and challenges the bottom line of Ninja, or the cost of performing them is extremely high and might endanger one's own life.
For example, the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu ticked both boxes...
When it comes to the Scroll of Seals, one can't help but mention Tobirama Senju.
A man who almost single - handedly filled the entire Scroll of Seals.
Here is an inserted conversation between the First Hokage and the Second Hokage.
Tobirama: Jutsu. (Brother, I've invented a new jutsu.)
Hashirama: Water? (Is it a Water Release jutsu?)
Tobirama: No. (...No.)
Hashirama: Ban it. (Then ban it.)
Nine - tenths of the Kinjutsu in the Scroll of Seals were contributed by Tobirama Senju. This man is truly terrifying.
"Father, you're back!"
When he saw Tanzō appear with a straight face, Kaze immediately sat up straight and looked at him expectantly.
"Look at your useless look."
Tanzō took out a scroll from his bosom and threw it to his son with a look of disgust.
"Hehe, thanks, Father."
Kaze caught the scroll with a grin and immediately opened it to read.
"Your merits aren't enough to exchange for many jutsu. I found a way to make up for the difference."
Tanzō sat across from Kaze, closing his eyes and cultivating his spirit as he spoke.
"The Scroll contains several jutsus I've chosen for you. Take a good look at the descriptions and pick one."
Only kids pick just one. I want them all!
Kaze plastered on an ingratiating smile and said somewhat sheepishly, "Dad, I like all the jutsus here. What do you think...?"
"Do you really think your dad is the Hokage?!" Tanzō retorted impatiently. "Hurry up and pick. I've got things to do later."
"Ah... alright..."
Kaze felt a bit disappointed and continued looking at the Scroll in his hand.
Tripartite Sealing Technique: A Sealing Technique that combines with Kage Clone Jutsu to form a tripartite sealing formation and seal the enemy.
Bringer-of-Darkness Technique: A visual Genjutsu that deprives all light, trapping the opponent's vision in a pure - black nightmare.
Divine Wind Technique: An auxiliary Ninjutsu that instantly significantly boosts Speed by circulating Chakra in a special way.
Flying Thunder God Technique: A space - time Ninjutsu that enables instant movement by leaving a jutsu formula on the Goal beforehand.
Self - Cursing Seal: A Sealing Technique that implants a Cursed Seal into the Goal to restrict the enemy's movement.
"These five jutsus all seem really good. How should I choose..." Kaze murmured.
