Chapter 76 Three Techniques

Upon receiving the compliment, Sasuke unconsciously straightened his neck and tightened his face, trying to appear calm, but his entire expression completely exposed his inner joy.

Shaking his head in amusement, Logan looked around. The Uchiha compound was indeed huge. Apart from the absence of people, with its large space, just this yard along with the open space was almost the size of his own home.

"Where do you live?" Logan asked.

Sasuke rubbed a few places where the plaster was applied. Sweat dripped from his chin from time to time in the sun. He pointed to a courtyard behind him and said, "There."

Logan nodded. After the Uchiha compound was vacated, Konoha should reclaim some land, but the specific planning hadn't begun yet. So, there should be plenty of places for Sasuke to live. Sasuke probably just chose one of the courtyards. Moreover, the compensation from the demolition office must have been quite substantial... Enough for an ordinary person to live a comfortable life.

"Let's rest first." Logan said. The previous crisis was real. After training all afternoon, Sasuke's physical condition was not good in various aspects, and standing under the sun was not a good place to talk.

Logan walked at the front, while Sasuke followed tiredly. Looking at his back, Sasuke couldn't help but ask, "Hattori-sensei, have you finished your mission? Was it successful?"

"Yeah." Logan replied, but what he said later was beyond Sasuke's expectations, "The mission wasn't completed. There were some issues with the intelligence, so the follow-up actions couldn't be carried out."

"Is that so..." Sasuke said inexplicably. He knew that Logan was working in the ANBU, and the missions outside the village he completed were definitely classified as confidential. Children always have fantasies, and in Sasuke's mind, Logan had another mysterious side besides being a respected teacher.

"I just came back not long ago. After handing over the mission, I came to take a look. Fortunately, I arrived just as you fell." Logan walked to the edge of the wooden corridor in the courtyard, "You should go take a bath first and rest. Is your body okay?"

Sasuke took off his shoes and walked into the room. Just this action involved quite a few wounds, and the soreness of his muscles made him break out in a cold sweat. However, he said bravely, "It's nothing, just minor injuries."

"It seems that the tree chosen for demonstration should have been lower. I wonder who said that the tree was still too low." Logan sat on the clean corridor. The eaves of the corridor slightly blocked the sun. He deliberately used a strange tone as he said so.

Sasuke pursed his lips and blushed slightly. At that time, he impulsively said such unrealistic words, and regretted it as soon as Logan left. The nearly twenty-meter tall tree was indeed high. He started to reflect on himself when he began to try it himself, feeling that being honest is very important. And half of the injuries on his body were self-inflicted.

"Rest well. We'll go out for dinner together tonight." Logan looked at the oak tree covered with kunai marks and asked without looking back, "Barbecue or ramen?"

Sasuke, who was originally walking hurriedly inside, paused for a moment and immediately said, "Eat... well, you both are fine, whatever..." After saying that, he walked away more quickly.

The surroundings quieted down, with a wide expanse of green grass in front, and trees and insects delicately distributed around. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that this courtyard was a small park. Logan sighed a few more times. It would take a while. After waiting for a while and confirming that there were no outsiders, he took out a few scrolls from his pocket.

They were engraved with the word 'secret' and there were burn marks on the corners. Logan rubbed his hands. These were the things he got from Orochimaru.

After the ANBU's teams confirmed giving up the mission in Otogakure, they rushed back to the Land of Fire without much delay. When Logan's external injuries had almost healed, they immediately left the Land of Rice Field.

The following days were spent traveling day and night, returning to Konoha at an efficient pace. During this period, Logan was aware that information about his mission in Otogakure would be sent back to the higher-ups in Konoha. After all, as one of the Captains, he had also seen the information before it was sent back.

Logan knew that Railgun will be exposed sooner or later, and he had never planned to rely solely on it. People would keep advancing, and he would keep getting stronger.

After Chidori, he once again developed S-Rank and above Ninjutsu. He also managed to retreat from being besieged by a Ninja Village, even if it's just a small one... Various things would change the evaluation of him in all aspects, and Logan thought about the possible impact on himself.

It's hard to describe the messy thoughts of Konoha's higher-ups. There were smart decisions, but also heartless moves that didn't care about people's feelings. He didn't know how Danzo would react, or if the Third Hokage would suddenly have a brain attack and really let him stay undercover in the other Great Ninja Village for ten years, receiving the great mission of revitalizing Konoha... His future path would be completely different from that.

But Logan didn't dwell on it too much. At any rate, if things didn't look good, he could always run away. He could hide from the storm by blending into Akatsuki, helping out when needed. At least, he could largely do his own thing.

During this time, Logan had roughly examined the contents of the scrolls. Some biological notes were naturally unnecessary, and Logan wasn't interested in miscellaneous things like body modification, such as the 'Soft Tissue Modification Technique'. After browsing and filtering, there was no 'Impure World Reincarnation' that Logan had hoped for, but there were still three very useful techniques.

Summoning: Rashomon, Five Elements Seal, and Double Illusion Killing Technique.

There's no need for introduction for the first one. It is an extremely defensive technique that can even block the Bijudama head-on. The second one, Five Elements Seal, can have a great effect on sealing Biju's Chakra. When Logan joined Akatsuki's subsequent Biju Capturing Plan, this Sealing Technique would save a lot of effort.

As for the last one, Double Illusion Killing Technique, it was a pleasant surprise for Logan. It was derived from Orochimaru's 'Twin Snakes Mutual Death Technique'. When the enemy cast a Genjutsu, it could neutralize the opponent's senses, allowing both parties to simultaneously fall into the constructed illusion.

It sounds quite useless, as the original technique also involved strange Ninjutsu where both parties sealed their fate by hand, suiciding with the enemy.

However, Genjutsu is Logan's weakness. When encountering such high-level opponents in the future, if he couldn't resist, in the worst case scenario, he could just get the enemy to also fall into the illusion together and harm each other.

Logan had to learn these three techniques, but Forbidden Techniques had their complexities and will probably take a lot of time to master. Moreover, if he wanted to train Rashomon and Five Elements Seals, he has to train them in private. If he was discovered, the others would have thought that he had stolen the Scroll of Seals.

'Should I resign from the ANBU and find a leisurely job? Or should I follow Jiraiya's example and just travel directly?' Logan propped his chin and pondered. The ANBU's missions are mandatory and irregular, which is very unfriendly to him at the moment.
