Chapter 111: Scientific Ninjutsu
"I swear loyalty to Danzo-sama until death."
Sasuke took the Senju Tobirama's Water Style scroll with both hands and immediately recited the required loyalty slogans. 'How easy it is to manipulate people with a few words about the Will of Fire,' he thought.
Aburame Ryoma, the Root ninja, was very satisfied. "Danzo-sama values you greatly. Originally, he intended to promote you to Root, but he considered the Shinano Forest defense line of great importance, so he kept you here. I hope you don't disappoint his expectations."
Sasuke patted his chest and promised not to let a single Sunagakure ninja break through. And he delivered. Since taking office, using his sonic radar, he had caught several Sunagakure groups, obtaining multiple A-rank mission merits under Shikaku's direction.
Ryoma handed him the scroll and reminded him of the rules: he had one day to memorize it before it self-destructed, and he couldn't copy it. If he weren't the designated "successor," they would have implanted a seal in his brain.
Sasuke opened the scroll and was stunned.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique... only three seals are needed."
The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, was undoubtedly the "God of Water." His understanding of chakra nature transformations had reached an unimaginable level. The S-rank forbidden technique, Hard Water Vortex Sword, was merely a prerequisite for practicing the ultimate technique: the Water Severing Wave.
Sasuke analyzed its principle and was shocked. The Water Severing Wave used chakra to treat the human body as a hydraulic pump, continuously pressurizing water to form an ultra-high pressure cutting jet.
"This isn't ninjutsu at all... it's clearly scientific ninjutsu," he whispered, shocked. He realized that the true super scientist of the ninja world wasn't Orochimaru; it had always been Tobirama. His idea of continuing to use scientific principles to develop ninjutsu became firmer.
While a large number of shadow clones memorized the scroll, others worked on transforming the captured puppets into "mechas." With Ebizo's mirror array puppets, he not only transformed ten mechas but also completely improved them. The only thing he couldn't decipher were the five-color scrolls, which were an application of advanced sealing techniques, a field in which he lacked theoretical basis.
'It seems that when the Uzumaki clan is destroyed, I'll have to see if I can obtain their sealing inheritance,' he planned.
Ryoma had also given him another scroll with five C-rank combined ninjutsu. Thanks to their recent achievements, his subordinates already had the necessary A-rank mission records to learn them. And with Danzo's new loan policy, merit points were no longer an issue.
Since the announcement of this policy, Sasuke's prestige had significantly improved. What commander was so good? He gave them free poison, taught them C-level jutsu, and took them on almost guaranteed A-level missions. They had become his most fervent followers.
