Pioneer

In Minato Namikaze's room, there was a stack of large bills on the table.

This was brought back by Shuichi Hoshita.

Minato Namikaze looked at the bills, then looked at Shuichi Hoshita: "The Daimyo wants to recruit you?"

Shuichi Hoshita nodded, then told him the whole story.

Minato Namikaze was stunned, thought for a while, and finally said: "Double agent?"

Shuichi Hoshita pinched his chin and thought: "It seems not bad?"

He really didn't think about double agents.

He just cheated the Daimyo's investment, and then got some resources from Sarutobi Hiruzen after returning to Konoha.

He borrowed Konoha, or the secret confrontation between the Hokage and the Daimyo, to profit from it.

Minato Namikaze's political sensitivity is not low, and he thinks like the Hokage.

If the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had taken over, he would not have missed this opportunity to make him a double agent.

Minato Namikaze thought, "Put away the money and don't tell anyone else. I will explain it to the Third Hokage in person after returning to Konoha."

"Understood."

Hideo Hoshita nodded, put away the money but did not leave. Instead, he took out a scroll and opened it, smiling, "Teacher Minato, this is a technique I designed. Because it involves the brain, I dare not try it easily."

Technique?

Minato Namikaze was surprised, then took the scroll and looked at it carefully.

The technique was not complicated, even very simple for him, but the idea was quite ingenious.

Looking up at Shuichi Hoshita, Minato Namikaze was even more surprised: "I didn't expect Shuichi that you are also good at curses and sealing techniques."

Shuichi Hoshita said "shyly": "I learned it when I was making detonating talismans."

"I have summed up a unique memory technique, which I call the memory palace."

Shuichi Hoshita explained to Minato Namikaze: "Because of the practice of shadow clones, I had the idea of ​​developing this technique."

Minato Namikaze nodded: "So I want the memories brought back by the shadow clones to directly enter your memory palace through this technique without causing shock and confusion to the brain."

"Do you want to accumulate practice experience through shadow clones?"

Shuichi Hoshita nodded.

Minato Namikaze immediately reminded: "The various memories brought back by the shadow clone are only one aspect, and fatigue also needs to be vigilant."

"There is a limit to people's tolerance."

Hiroshita Shuichi hurriedly said: "Teacher Minato, don't worry, I will pay attention."

Minato Namikaze still recognized Shuichi Hoshita's calmness, so he didn't say more, just asked about the details of the memory palace while re-examining the technique on the scroll.

"Shuichi, you actually used the entire Konoha as a container for memory, which is a genius idea."

"In this case, adding illusions should be better."

"Well, it also needs to be based on chakra, supplemented by sealing techniques, just like building a library."

"Shuichi, although your technique is simple, you can achieve this level just by learning the detonating tag. You have an extraordinary talent in sealing techniques."

...

Minato Namikaze wrote and drew, and revised.

Hideichi Hoshita's originally simple technique became visibly more complicated.

After about two hours, Minato Namikaze put down his pen and smiled, "Well, it should be almost done."

"With your chakra, there should be no problem in performing it."

"Of course, in order to maintain the seal, you still need to use chakra all the time, which is also a consumption for you."

In the eyes of Shuichi Hoshita, the technique has changed a lot and has become several times more complicated.

Scratching his head, he said helplessly, "Teacher Minato, I'm afraid it will take me some time to understand this."

Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "Sorry, I was inspired at the moment."

"But it doesn't matter, feel free to ask me if you don't understand."

"Well, it's too late today, and we have to travel tomorrow. Let's study it when we return to Konoha!"

Hideichi Hoshita nodded, then packed up his things and said goodbye to Minato Namikaze and returned to his room.

Lying on the bed, Shuichi Hoshita's attention was on the entry tree.

Just now, two entries were triggered in succession.

Entry: Sealing Expert

Acquisition conditions: Complete the practice of the secret technique [Memory Palace] perfected by Minato Namikaze.

Effect: Sealing and curse talents are improved by 100%, and memory is improved by 100%.

It seems that the acquisition conditions are not difficult, and the entry effect is not bad.

As far as memory is concerned, although Shuichi Hoshita claims to have an extraordinary memory, it is still far from the level of photographic memory. The "Memory Palace" technique is very important.

If the memory is increased by 1 times, it may be possible to achieve photographic memory.

And this is obviously also conducive to improving insight, enhancing learning, and even the upper limit in actual combat.

"It is indeed necessary to study hard if you have the talent for sealing, after all, it is an omnipotent ability."

But Shuichi Hoshita is very clear-headed.

Sealing is not a high priority at present.

First of all, it is swordsmanship and medical ninjutsu, which are his current means of self-protection and survival.

Let's look at the second entry.

Entry: Pioneer

Acquisition conditions: Develop at least 5 A-level and above, including but not limited to ninjutsu, sealing techniques, illusions, physical techniques and other ninja skills; if someone assists, the person must at least play a pioneering and key role.

Effect: "Flash of Inspiration" once a year, the time is 10 minutes. During the time of opening "Flash of Inspiration", the understanding is maxed, and the pioneering is maxed.

Hoshita Shuichi stood up suddenly.

Two maxes, full of temptation.

However, 5 A-level and above ninjutsu, sealing techniques, illusions... this is not easy.

Chidori is A-level difficulty, and Rasengan is A-level difficulty.

"Tsk, it's not easy!"

"Even if Minato hasn't developed the Rasengan yet, it's not easy for me to copy it and register the copyright."

"And Kakashi's Chidori, first he has to master the nature change of the lightning chakra..."

"Well, the wind shurikens can also be counted."

Hoshita Shuichi thought: "The pioneering and key role... I wonder if it counts as someone else's assistance in the development of the idea I proposed?"

It seems that we need to explore slowly.

Hoshita Shuichi lay down again and slowly fell asleep.

The next day, the group left the daimyo's mansion and returned to Konoha Village at noon.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen listened to Minato Namikaze's report, including what Shuichi said on the way to the daimyo's mansion.

Of course, the most important thing is the daimyo's recruitment of Shuichi Hoshita and Shuichi Hoshita's response.

After the report, Minato Namikaze said: "Shuiichi is a very smart kid, and he has a very keen political sense. After listening to the mission content, he noticed the differences between the village and the daimyo's mansion."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded in agreement, which can be seen from Shuichi Hoshita's words and deeds.

Not only that, but he is also a firm supporter of Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen was also very satisfied with this, and smiled: "Shuiichi responded very well. It is rare to be able to respond so flexibly at this age!"

"Let Shuichi take the money. As for the double agent... What do you think, Minato?"

Now Shuichi Hoshita can be said to be Minato Namikaze's subordinate. As Hokage, he also needs to listen to Minato Namikaze's opinions.

Of course, he also has a great intention to cultivate Minato Namikaze.

Tsunade obviously has no intention to succeed the fourth generation, and Jiraiya is even more of a prodigal son, lost in his destiny. He has not returned since the Second Ninja World War. It is said that he has accepted several disciples in the Land of Rain.

And Orochimaru was originally a very suitable candidate, but since the Second Ninja World War, too much has changed...

For various reasons, he has to consider more.

Namikaze Minato had anticipated Sarutobi Hiruzen's inquiry and had a plan in mind. He said, "I think Shuichi can handle this task."

"He is a very self-disciplined person with a strong will. He has always adhered to the will of fire and maintained Konoha and the Hokage. Although he is very young, his thinking is very mature. There is no need to worry about betrayal in the process of being a double agent."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said immediately, "In this case, then you will convey this task to Shuichi, and you will also be his contact person!"

Namikaze Minato immediately accepted the order: "Yes!"

There is still one chapter to be published later. I caught a cold after the general cleaning yesterday, and I was confused at night. The second chapter needs to be revised. Wait a minute.
