Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#331 - The Third Hokage

As one of the few people since ancient times who have been able to explore the method of absorbing natural power to synthesize Chakra through independent cultivation.

With the Third Hokage about to enter seclusion to seek a breakthrough, Liang Yue naturally had to stay and accompany him, acting as a guide to answer some related questions.

This process began after the second round of the Chunin Exams ended.

The examinees had naturally been sent back to Konoha one after another, but since the Forest of Death was a secret restricted area of Konoha, and the Third Hokage was a top figure in the ninja world, his whereabouts were not something they could easily inquire about.

Therefore, not many people knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi was going to cultivate in the central tower.

Even Danzo and others were unaware of his cultivation and breakthrough plans, due to the Third Hokage's deliberate concealment.

Everything was steadily progressing forward~

However, in secret, Liang Yue's unusual performance had already spread rapidly among certain groups through the mouths of the examinees present.

Although they might not have known that Liang Yue was removing Orochimaru's Cursed Seal at the time.

Judging from the situation at the time, even if he was only helping Hinata eliminate a strange toxin, it was already quite astonishing.

After all, the ability to expel toxins through energy circulation and transmit energy into the body was not something that the Chakra system of ninjas excelled at.

… …

In the following days, the Third Hokage officially entered a state of secluded meditation.

Every day, apart from someone bringing food in twice in the morning and evening, only Liang Yue could be summoned a few times to answer some questions about the breakthrough.

And as time went by, the number of such summons also decreased.

Liang Yue was happy to have some free time, concentrating on his cultivation in another room while also giving Hinata some guidance from time to time.

Yes, Hinata has now been sent to the tower in the Forest of Death by the head of the Hyuga clan.

Accompanying her was Hanabi Hyuga.

The reason was that the head of the Hyuga clan, who had just become the assistant to the acting Hokage of Konoha and was about to show his talents in politics, was worried that his daily official duties were too busy and he could not take care of his daughter's safety.

After all, Hinata had already been implanted with Orochimaru's Cursed Seal once before.

He had long heard that Orochimaru had been looking for young people with good qualifications in recent years, and now he was fortunate to have Chunqiu remove the Cursed Seal.

But if there is a next time, he will inevitably take her away directly~

So for safety's sake, it's better to send my daughter to the Hokage's side… …

And Sasuke Uchiha received the same treatment as the two young ladies of the Hyuga family.

However, at this time, he was receiving private tutoring from Kakashi. According to the arrangement in the original plot, Sasuke learned the Chidori ninjutsu during this period.

It's just that, compared to that time, the current Sasuke has not been marked with Orochimaru's Cursed Seal.

However, it is estimated that Orochimaru has already learned from Yakushi Kabuto that his Cursed Seal has been removed.

So, according to common sense, the person Orochimaru is most interested in now should be Liang Yue!

As for Naruto~

It is estimated that at this time, this little blondie has learned the Summoning Technique under the guidance of Jiraiya, right?

Mount Myoboku, one of the three great sacred places… …

Moreover, under Jiraiya's guidance, Naruto should have already begun to try to use the power of the Nine-Tails in his body.

At this point~ Mount Myoboku, Nine-Tailed Jinchuriki, both major cheats are in place in one step… …

In comparison, Liang Yue's situation seems a bit incomparable to these two protagonists.

From beginning to end, except for the Hyuga clan head's training of him and the clan's unified teaching, Liang Yue has been cultivating alone… …

The promised teacher has not arrived yet.

"In this case, if it wasn't because I was打击得无地自容, feeling that I couldn't be my mentor, then Jiraiya may not really be the one the village prepared for me."

"So… …is it Tsunade姬?"

… …

Time flies, and unknowingly, more than three weeks have passed.

On this day, when Liang Yue was taking Hinata and Hanabi to practice and teach by a small river not far away.

At this moment, a faint but peculiar throbbing suddenly came from behind.

In terms of direction, it came from the tower in the center of the Forest of Death!

That was a special kind of mental fluctuation, or it could be called perspective.

But unlike the Byakugan, this perspective refers specifically to the field of coverage at the mental level.

As someone who has been there, Liang Yue naturally understands what this represents.

"Unexpectedly~ he really succeeded in breaking through? Innate Realm~"

Unconsciously, Liang Yue curved the corners of his mouth, and secretly sighed in his heart that the plot of the Naruto world seemed to have completely embarked on another fork in the road.

Compared to his own situation when he broke through the barrier between heaven and man, the current situation of the Third Generation seems to be only described as a matter of course.

After all, although the time Liang Yue used at the beginning was short, he used the assistance of the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, while the old man Hiruzen Sarutobi really relied on his own understanding to break through.

But this is also expected, after all~ being able to take over the power of Konoha from the Second Hokage and continue to carry it forward on the basis of the former, his own strength has stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world.

Such characters are naturally dragons and phoenixes among people.

Even if he does not have the bloodline of top families such as Senju, Uchiha, Uzumaki, and Hyuga, his talent and aptitude are undoubtedly the most superb in the ninja world!

Of course, Liang Yue's guidance and guidance are naturally indispensable.

Otherwise, when the little old man Third Hokage faced Orochimaru, it is estimated that he would still be in great danger.

Even if he had his help this time, and finally saved his life, I am afraid he would not have the possibility of breaking through the innate.

After all, if you want to break through this barrier between heaven and man, you must first realize its existence!

Looking at the past Hokage, the First Generation and the Second Generation were powerful, but the former was strong in blood and destiny, while the latter was in his talent.

But even when these two people stood at the pinnacle of the ninja world, they did not realize that they could continue to cultivate.

At that time, there was no such concept as the innate level in the ninja world.

The same situation~

Later, after Naruto became the Seventh Hokage, although he realized that there was a more advanced ~ so-called Six Paths mode ~ than the Sage Mode in this world.

But he still never explored and studied it.

When facing powerful foreign enemies, he only relied on the Nine-Tails and the inheritance of Myoboku's fairy art to forcibly increase himself to that level.

But he himself never thought about the possibility of breaking through himself through active cultivation~

This is a difference in philosophy.

… …

"What's wrong, Chunqiu?"

After discovering that Liang Yue had been staring at the tower in a daze at this time, Hinata, who was accompanying Hanabi in cultivation, couldn't help but ask.

"Let's stop here today. There should already be results from the Third Hokage's side."

Hearing this, Liang Yue took a towel, wiped the sweat beads on Hinata's forehead, and replied with a smile.

Hanabi next to him also ran over at this time, looking at him with sweat all over his forehead.

"So, the Hokage has successfully broken through? It doesn't seem that difficult!"

"That's because the Third Hokage himself has deep enough accumulation, and has enough insights and understanding of life, so once he masters the correct method, he will naturally achieve success."

Hearing this, Liang Yue also took the towel and wiped the little girl's face.

"But, Chunqiu, you have also broken through."

"Mine~ maybe it's an accident."

"I don't care! I want to learn in the future!"

"Sure~"
