Using Sage Mode to eavesdrop Chinatsu, you're really abusing it now.
However, Chinatsu genuinely didn't care. Compared to the risks shown in Naruto, where improper Sage Mode could turn a user into stone, her control learned from Katsuyu of Shikkotsu Forest was already extremely stable. The chakra consumption was minimal, and it didn't strain her body the way imperfect Sage Mode did for others.
On the contrary, she felt incredibly comfortable both physically and mentally while it was active. Her perception extended across the entire Hokage Building, even picking up subtle chakra fluctuations. Since she could maintain balance so precisely, she might as well use it often and treat it as practice for instantaneous activation.
Yesterday, while Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and Koharu Utatane were arguing, Chinatsu was sitting on the rooftop of the Hokage Building, casually eating sunflower seeds bought from a street vendor below.
From above, she could clearly hear everything.
Homura Mitokado: "What?! Sarutobi! Have you gotten old and senile?! You actually want to hand over that forbidden scroll to that woman?!"
Koharu Utatane: "Exactly! If she's already that dangerous, giving her access to those techniques will only make her completely uncontrollable!"
The two elders were furious, their objections sharp and relentless. But the problem was simple no matter how loudly they protested, the Hokage still had final authority.
"Objection overruled."
That was essentially the result.
What did they mean by making Chinatsu more dangerous?
She was already beyond what they could control.
After witnessing her "art" in the Forest of Death, Hiruzen Sarutobi had already understood something very clearly this wasn't a shinobi you could suppress through political pressure or village authority.
This was someone who could overturn the entire battlefield alone.
Under Hiruzen's firm stance, Homura and Koharu grew increasingly furious. Their already aged bodies trembled slightly, whether from anger or fear it was hard to tell. Eventually, both of them stormed out of the office.
Hiruzen sighed and leaned back in his chair, his expression heavy.
He knew they were stubborn.
But he also knew something more important.
This era… was no longer theirs.
After hearing enough, Chinatsu lost interest. She gathered her sunflower seed shells into a small pile, flicked them casually into a trash bin below using chakra control, and disappeared from the rooftop in a light Body Flicker.
Back to the present.
Chinatsu returned to the Uchiha compound, holding the forbidden scroll. She walked inside casually, dropped onto the sofa, crossed her legs, and opened it like someone reading a newspaper.
"Wow~ As expected of Tobirama Senju. The guy who invented things like the Flying Thunder God Technique and Impure World Reincarnation really didn't hold back."
"These are all terrifying techniques… not just powerful, but dangerous to the user as well."
She flipped through the pages quickly.
"Some I understand… some I don't… some make me question my life choices…"
"…and some make me question Tobirama's sanity."
Chinatsu shook her head.
"Tobirama, maybe you should've just stuck to Water Release."
Many of these techniques were exactly like what was shown in the original story high-risk, high-reward, and often ethically questionable. The Impure World Reincarnation alone had been forbidden precisely because it required human sacrifices.
This wasn't just a scroll.
It was a record of war itself.
Meanwhile, outside, Naruto and Sasuke were still moving boxes.
Naruto: "Sasuke… how many bowls of Ichiraku Ramen do you think this money can buy?"
Sasuke: "Instead of counting bowls, you should be asking how many Ichiraku shops it can buy."
Naruto: "Eh?! That much?!"
Sasuke: "…I'm too lazy to calculate it."
He carried the final box inside and walked back into the living room.
At that moment, Chinatsu had already skimmed through the entire scroll. Without much interest, she tossed it onto the sofa beside her.
Summary: Useful… but not essential.
After all, during her battle with Orochimaru, she had already copied key techniques like the Flying Thunder God Technique using her Mangekyō Sharingan. The remaining techniques, while dangerous, didn't significantly increase her combat power.
What surprised her instead… were the barrier techniques.
Those had potential.
"Sister? What's this?"
Sasuke stepped forward, noticing the scroll.
"This? A forbidden technique scroll."
Chinatsu paused slightly, then picked it up again.
"You can't handle this yet."
If Sasuke recklessly tried something like Edo Tensei or high-level space-time ninjutsu, the consequences would be disastrous.
"I'll pick suitable techniques and teach you and Naruto properly."
"They're all S-rank or forbidden-level. Training won't be easy."
Naruto's eyes lit up instantly.
Sasuke's expression sharpened.
Just as Sasuke was about to say something
He suddenly froze.
His Sharingan spun slightly as he turned toward the entrance.
"…Someone's here."
Chinatsu smiled.
"Not bad. Your perception improved."
She had already sensed it earlier through Sage Mode.
That chaotic, oppressive chakra… it was unmistakable.
"Let's go."
The three walked out of the mansion together.
Standing at the entrance was a red-haired boy carrying a sand gourd.
Gaara.
The jinchūriki of Shukaku.
Even among all participants in the Chunin Exams, he was one of the most dangerous his automatic sand defense and unstable mental state made him far more terrifying than ordinary genin.
Gaara stared directly at Naruto.
His killing intent flickered.
This… was instinct.
The resonance between tailed beasts.
Naruto stiffened slightly under that gaze.
Just like in the original story, this was the moment their paths intersected.
Gaara opened his mouth slightly, his voice cold.
"…you…"
But before he could finish
A fist descended.
BAM!
Chinatsu's punch landed squarely on his head.
Gaara staggered backward several steps, completely stunned.
Even the sand failed to react in time.
He clutched his head, looking up in disbelief.
Chinatsu stood there, smiling, casually shaking her hand.
"So you can talk."
"Then say something properly next time, little brother Gaara~"
The atmosphere… instantly collapsed.
