"Can I check in again?" Kazekaze took a deep breath, then glanced at Tsunade and then at Hashirama, who was playing with her. He decided to start the check-in.
[Please confirm, host, do you want to check in?]
"Yes." Kazekaze silently spread his arms and legs wide, lying on the tatami in a star shape, and began this check-in. He was now very familiar with the entire process.
[Check-in successful!]
[Congratulations, host, you have received a check-in gift package!]
[Would you like to open it?]
In Kazekaze's view, this step could be completely skipped. Unfortunately, the check-in system was just an aid and had no thoughts of its own. Even if Kazekaze complained, it wouldn't understand. It didn't get it.
"With my current strength, as long as the First Shinobi World War doesn't break out, I can walk sideways without worry." Even Hōzuki Gengetsu, the future Second Mizukage, was defeated by me. In this shinobi world, there aren't many ninjas who can fight me.
There shouldn't be many left. However...
To be honest, defeating Hōzuki Gengetsu wasn't because I was particularly strong. "It's because I know his information too well."
In Kazekaze's view, powerful ninjas should be divided into two categories. One is truly powerful, even if I tell you what my trump card is. You still can't beat me. For example...
Senju Hashirama, who is teasing Tsunade with a lollipop. No matter who he encounters. Whether it's the Kage from other villages. Or even the Akatsuki organization. Hashirama has the strength to roar.
"I'm best at Wood Release, I can use Sage Art, and my strongest jutsu is Sage Art: Wood Release: True Several Thousand Hands! I've laid my cards on the table, I'm not pretending anymore." And he can still crush others.
Yes. For a ninja like Senju Hashirama, even if he tells others what his techniques are. The gap is still huge. He can still overpower them. It's just...
Watching Hashirama wave the lollipop and make funny faces. Kazekaze just couldn't associate him with the title 'God of Ninjutsu.' It always feels like... This Hashirama seems a bit silly.
The other type is those who seem powerful due to information asymmetry. Like Hidan. For ninjas who don't understand his abilities, Hidan is practically unbeatable. Attacking him is like attacking yourself. Killing him is like killing yourself. Once Hidan gets your blood, it's basically over.
However... If you know Hidan's abilities, then he's quite weak. A Wood Dragon can bind him, then summon a Wood Golem to tear him apart. Immortal? Use Amaterasu to burn him, then scatter his ashes.
It's obvious. Hōzuki Gengetsu is also a ninja like Hidan. His Steaming Danger Tyranny seems hard to deal with. But once you understand the principle, it's easy to counter. Even... Even if you can't cool down his clones. Kazekaze can use his sensory abilities to locate Hōzuki Gengetsu's real body. Kill his real body. His jutsu would naturally be dispelled.
"If I hadn't watched Naruto and known Hōzuki Gengetsu's abilities, it would be hard to say if I could win against him." So, in Kazekaze's mind, he felt that he didn't win by overpowering Hōzuki Gengetsu. He was just lucky.
If it were the Third Raikage, someone with raw power. His current Wood Golem and Wood Dragon. Wouldn't be able to do much against him.
"And there's the Rasengan." Even Naruto's Wind Release: Shuriken in his Kyūbi Chakra Mode couldn't do much to the Third Raikage. His own Rasengan would be even less effective. Moreover, he doesn't know Sage Jutsu yet. Exploiting the Third Raikage's weaknesses and using his own spear against his shield. Isn't easy for Kazekaze either.
Based on all these considerations. Kazekaze suddenly realized that he should continue to improve his strength. Thinking of this. He suddenly sat up straight.
Snap!
Kazekaze clasped his hands together, eyes tightly shut, looking like he was sincerely praying, "I'm willing to trade ten years of Madara's luck for a powerful jutsu. Lightning Release Chakra Mode, Sage Mode, Kyūbi Chakra Mode, anything will do."
This sudden scene made Hashirama pause, "What's up, Kazekaze?" Why does it feel like this grandson of mine is acting all mysterious and a bit silly?
[Check-in gift package opened!]
Of course, no matter what, Hashirama couldn't see the images in Kazekaze's mind. Various jutsus and Kekkei Genkai flashed before Kazekaze's eyes. At this point, Kazekaze couldn't help but feel nervous. He began to take deep breaths, calming his emotions while silently chanting Madara's name.
Snap!
Suddenly, the image froze!
[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Flying Thunder God Technique lv10 from the check-in gift package!]
As the sound faded away. Kazekaze was stunned on the spot. He blinked, his eyes full of disbelief. Hashirama couldn't help it, he turned and placed his large hand on Kazekaze's forehead. His head isn't even hot. What's going on with him? Hashirama looked at Kazekaze, utterly puzzled.
"Flying Thunder God Technique!" Kazekaze suppressed his laughter, only able to shout internally. The Flying Thunder God Technique! This is the Flying Thunder God Technique! It's amazing! It's truly amazing! I actually got the Flying Thunder God Technique!
Kazekaze was so excited he wanted to jump up. But due to Hashirama's gaze. He still had to suppress his excitement. At the same time, this experience made Kazekaze realize a problem. Next time, I should check in when no one's around. This guy, clearly excited to death, yet can't show it. It's really frustrating.
Thinking of this, Kazekaze took a deep breath and slowly exhaled. He stood up from the tatami, ignored Hashirama's concern, and started walking outside. Watching Kazekaze's actions, Hashirama was completely bewildered throughout the process. What's going on? What exactly is happening? What's wrong with my grandson?
Could it be... Is he jealous? Hashirama blinked and then looked at Tsunade. "Could it be that because I only played with Tsunade and not with Kazekaze, he's jealous?""Hahaha, I, Senju Hashirama, am indeed popular with kids." Hashirama let out a hearty laugh, imagining something incredible.
On the other hand, Kazekaze walked out of the building, into the yard, and looked around carefully to see if anyone was nearby. After confirming multiple times that no one noticed him. Kazekaze clenched his fists and performed a set of military-style punches in the yard. He didn't hide his excitement at all, releasing it passionately.
The Flying Thunder God Technique! The Flying Thunder God Technique, invented by the Second Hokage and popularized by the Fourth Hokage! And this jutsu, combined with the Rasengan. Can compensate for the Rasengan's shortcomings! Madara! Thanks to you.
However, Kazekaze didn't notice... While he was releasing this emotion. Tobirama happened to walk to the front gate of the yard and saw Kazekaze excitedly punching the air. "Is having a sister making Kazekaze this happy?" Tobirama blinked, dumbfounded.
