Chapter 121: Forbidden Scroll
That night.
Minato Namikaze returned home after working until late at night.
Iori, who was taking care of Naruto, was used to this. According to common sense, she only needed to work until about 10 o'clock, but as a Hokage, Minato Namikaze sometimes had to work overtime, so situations like today also happened from time to time.
Fortunately, Iori was easy-going, kind and enthusiastic, and never complained about it.
And every time he came home late, Minato Namikaze would apologize, regardless of whether Iori agreed or not, and finally paid her more at the end of the month.
After sending Iori away, Minato Namikaze returned to the room, intending to take a look at Naruto before doing business.
In the crib, little Naruto, who was almost three months old, was sleeping quietly at this time.
According to Iori, this little guy is very active during the day, but Minato Namikaze rarely has the opportunity to see Naruto during the day. After returning home every night, Naruto usually falls asleep early...
After visiting Naruto, Minato Namikaze returned to his study. Although the clock on the wall showed more than one in the morning, he could not rest early. At dusk a few hours ago, all the middle and upper ninjas gathered in the village had set off for the front line of the Grass Country. At this time, the internal strength of Konoha can be said to be unprecedentedly weak.
Minato Namikaze stood in front of the window, looking at the dark and quiet village streets outside, and a little worry rose in his heart again.
Although he had sent more Anbu to the northeastern border of the Fire Country, and ordered the garrison ninjas to keep a close eye and guard against foreign invasions, it was still not enough. Once the Cloud Village really invaded on a large scale, it would basically collapse with this little strength.
In the afternoon, he had already investigated the remaining combat power in the village in advance, and the result was of course no surprise.
Konoha now only has a few old, weak, sick and disabled people left, and almost all the chunin and jonin have been withdrawn. There are quite a few genin, but most of them are freshly graduated students. Sending them to the battlefield is equivalent to destroying the future of the village. No village will choose to send genin to the front line unless it is absolutely necessary...
In order to minimize the possible losses, Namikaze Minato has racked his brains to find a solution.
Unintentionally, he even thought of the Akatsuki organization and Obito in the original work, who were the participants in the Fourth Ninja World War. They were just a few people. Before they gathered all the tailed beasts and made the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki appear, they had absolutely no capital to fight against the entire Ninja World Alliance. But with the help of Kabuto, the 100,000 White Zetsu and the Impure World Army created gave Obito the capital...
Apart from other things, these two methods can really be regarded as the most amazing performance of technology and ninjutsu in this world. However, for Minato Namikaze, there is no need to think about 100,000 White Zetsu, but as for the Impure World Army...
"Perhaps, it's time to really understand this forbidden technique." Minato Namikaze thought of the Impure World Reincarnation technique, and his heart was filled with complicated emotions.
Common sense, this is an S-level forbidden technique of pseudo-resurrection that violates human ethics. The reason why Orochimaru is interested in this technique is probably because he can revive the dead. Unfortunately, the effect of resurrection after death may not satisfy him completely. Eternal life is what he wants...
At this stage, Orochimaru is probably on the road to eternal life and will never look back. Although Minato Namikaze is not sure whether Orochimaru has obtained this forbidden technique at this moment, he suddenly has an idea, that is, to destroy this technique.
If Orochimaru has not yet come into contact with the Impure World Reincarnation, then without this forbidden technique in the later period, the Akatsuki organization and Obito, and even the resurrection of Madara, will be greatly affected.
Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze suddenly felt more and more that there was a necessity.
With a thought, he quickly spread his perception and located the coordinates of the Flying Thunder God technique in the lounge of the Hokage Building in the village, and then jumped decisively.
A few minutes later, the figure in the study flashed again, and Minato Namikaze, who returned, had a large scroll in his hand after appearing.
This scroll is naturally the scroll that Konoha officially records the forbidden technique. Judging from its dusty appearance in the confidential information room, it should have been in a state of no one paying attention to it for a long time. But think about it, the confidential data room is not open to anyone, and it is almost impossible for ordinary people to touch it.
In this way, it is indeed intriguing that Naruto can steal the forbidden scroll in the original work.
Put the scroll upright on the ground, wipe the cover gently, and the dust will fade away, revealing four big words: The Book of Sealing...
As we all know, most of the techniques recorded in this forbidden scroll are from the hands of that man...
The so-called forbidden techniques are generally defined as dangerous ninjutsu that may harm one's body or life, or ninjutsu that violates ethics and morality, or ninjutsu that is too powerful and may cause harm to innocent people around.
Unfortunately, many people in this world will habitually ignore the latter two hazards...
After all, this is a world that pursues individual power, and it is inappropriate to measure it entirely by the values of the real world.
Of course, all forbidden techniques have one thing in common, that is, they are extremely difficult to master.
After opening the Book of Seals, the first thing Minato Namikaze saw was the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. But his eyes did not linger for too long, and he quickly continued to flip through the pages. Forbidden Techniques are difficult to help most Kage-level ninjas. After all, only the best ones are suitable for you.
For example, the third generation Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, as a ninjutsu doctor, is proficient in all-attribute ninjutsu, but what help can you give him the forbidden technique of Eight Gates Ninja?
For example, a ninja who does not know how to seal a technique at all will probably not waste energy to learn it after getting the Shikigami Fuujin.
After roughly flipping through a large number of forbidden technique records, Minato Namikaze found that the introduction and description of each forbidden technique in the Book of Seals was actually very detailed. Not only is the principle of each ninjutsu explained in detail, but even the harm and negative effects of the forbidden technique are also analyzed clearly.
However, when Minato Namikaze found that the handwriting on the large number of annotations was very similar to that of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he suddenly understood...
Gradually, he found that the types of forbidden techniques recorded in the Sealed Book seemed to be very complicated.
There are not only powerful S-level ninjutsu, but also some techniques that, in his opinion, have great costs but little effect. Perhaps this kind of ninjutsu can be used as a trump card in a critical moment for a Chunin or Genin, which is a desperate means, but in the eyes of a powerful ninja, it is a bit ridiculous.
Just like the earth escape forbidden technique that Minato Namikaze saw at this time, which can make his physical skills reach super strong strange power in a short period of time, the side effect is that it will cripple his arms after using it. In addition, there are some strange illusions that hurt both the enemy and himself, etc...
Even so, there are still one or two forbidden techniques in the huge scroll of the Sealed Book that he is very interested in. Among them, the forbidden technique called the Spiritualization Technique is a powerful ninjutsu that is not inferior to the Shiki Fuujin and the Impure World Reincarnation in his opinion.
