Chapter 243: Learning Jutsus

Kirigakure.

In the conference room on the third floor of the Mizukage building.

Yeruashi was sitting at one end of a large oval table, holding a pen and writing something on a sheet of paper.

At the other end of the table sat the Elder of Kirigakure, with a large number of ninja standing behind him and an Elite Jounin sitting next to him, including Mei.

"...Read this."

After taking a few more notes, Yeruashi unhurriedly put down the pen and handed her a sheet of paper.

After a while, the Elder of Kirigakure stared at Yeruashi, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, "Aren't your demands too excessive, Fifth Hokage? You must understand that our village suffered great losses during the war."

Yeruashi leaned his elbows on the table, and said indifferently, "You started that war yourself. Going into a war, you must be prepared to pay the appropriate price."

Yeruashi's voice was not harsh or heavy.

On the contrary, he seemed extremely calm.

But these words put a lot of pressure on the Kirigakure ninjas present in the conference room, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads and their hearts were very tense.

"Accept it!"

Mei stood up, looked at the Kirigakure Elder and said, "At this moment, we don't have the choice, you can only give him what he wants."

The elder fell into deep thoughts.

Mei looked at Yeruashi, a strange light shone in her eyes, she put her hands on the table and said calmly, "Bring the scroll of summoning mist swords."

The Kirigakure ninjas looked at each other and then looked at the old man, all of them hesitated and hesitated.

"Do it."

The Elder of Kirigakure took a deep breath and finally gave up.

Although he had completely different thoughts in his mind, as an elder of Kirigakure, he could not make such a decision for the entire village.

The Great Ninja Village, which has been diligently maintained from generation to generation by the Mizukage since the end of the Age of the Fighting Kingdoms, cannot be destroyed by his decision.

After a while.

A Kirigakure ninja entered the conference room with a large scroll.

This scroll contains summoning techniques that can be used to summon each of the seven swords of the mist, and the swords can be stored in it in a sealed form.

Yeruashi took it and immediately began to study the scroll, confirming that there were no problems, nodded and stood up from the table with the scroll.

"And so..."

"This is the end of the war."

Yeruashi's gaze swept around the conference room and stopped on Mei, saying, "You're good, I hope you become the Fifth Mizukage."

Whoosh!

Yeruashi's figure instantly disappeared without a trace.

Mei calmly looked at the place where Yeruashi had just disappeared, but inside she was very excited by these words and couldn't help but think that since she had just given a rating of 'good', what was the previous rating?

"Elder?"

Mei forcibly suppressed her emotions and looked seriously at the Elder of Kirigakure.

The elder stood up from the table and said as he walked out of the conference room on crutches, "Your assessment of the situation and your choice were absolutely correct, it's just that an elder like me wasn't ready to accept it..."

"Who can put up with that, old man?"

Mei sighed heavily.

If someone like Yeruashi was born in Kirigakure, then he would negotiate just as hard and make exorbitant demands of the other Great Ninja Towns, and the other side would be forced to grit their teeth and accept them.

...

Konoha.

Yeruashi returned to the study and waved his hand, after the shadow clone disappeared, he sat down at the table and opened the Seven Mist Swords summoning scroll.

After a brief study, he placed his palm on the scroll and poured some chakra on it, starting to make small changes, to be more precise, he broke all previously concluded summoning contracts.

From now on, any of the seven mist swords can only be summoned with this scroll.

Poof!

Yeruashi folded a series of seals with one hand and with a flash of white smoke, Nuibari, previously summoned by the Kirigakure ninja, appeared on the table.

In fact, it would be easier for Rin to use Samehada, because this sword comes from the Sanbi. But Samehada specializes in absorbing and endowing its user with chakra, and Rin, as a Jinchuriki, already has a large amount of chakra, so this combination doesn't make much sense.

"Guards."

Yeruashi took the Nuibari and spoke calmly.

Whoosh!

In the Hokage's office, two ninjas immediately appeared, unlike the usual Anbu, they were without masks, but wore black cloaks with the number '1' in the middle of the back.

At this point, the base of the 13 Shadow Guards had already formed, but they had not yet begun their official work, but only existed as a force that simply followed their orders.

"Call Rin... No, don't call her, take this directly to her."

Yeruashi thought about it and tossed the Nuibari to one of the ninja.

The ninja nodded and immediately left the office.

After that, Yeruashi turned to the second ninja and said, "And tell Shikaku that I just concluded a peace treaty with Kirigakure, as for the specific details..."

The Shadow Guard ninja took a deep breath as he listened to Yeruashi's explanation, then also nodded and left the office.

After giving the necessary orders, Yeruashi rolled up the large scroll and left his office with it.

Soon, he reached the deepest room on the third floor and placed his palm against the door, immediately showing many intricate patterns of Fuuinjutsu, then the door opened smoothly.

In this securely protected room, the Scroll of the Seals of Konoha and other important items are kept.

After entering the room, Yeruashi tossed the Seven Swords of Mist summoning scroll into a corner, and then his gaze swept over the various items in the room, finally stopping on a very familiar large scroll.

It was a Scroll of Seals.

It contained various forbidden and secret techniques of Konoha.

Since becoming Hokage, Yeruashi had been constantly busy.

He originally intended to take the time to study the Seal Scroll, but after placing it in this room, he forgot about it, and when he came here to place the Seven Mist Swords Summoning Scroll, Yeruashi suddenly remembered it.

In the end, he left the room with the Scroll of Seals, returned to the Hokage's office and began to study it at the table.

After reaching the level of the Six Paths, the study and practice of Jutsu proceeded completely differently.

The Search for Truth orb is formed by perfectly combining the attribute chakras Lightning, Water, Earth, Wind and Fire, as well as Yin and Yang. In fact, acquiring the Search for Truth balls is equivalent to acquiring all the Kekkei Genkai.

In addition.

Now Yeruashi can learn and use any Jutsu based on the seven basic attributes without much trouble, including the Shadow Imitation Jutsu, the Body and Mind Change Jutsu, the Partial Multi Size Jutsu, and so on.

But with the exception of Partial Size Augmentation, which can play at least some role, all other techniques are basically useless.

Several Fuuinjutsu, including Shiki Fujin, could also be mastered and used quickly without much trouble, after having been studied in the Seal Scroll.

Only the predisposition to Space Jutsu has not undergone any changes, because this is the eighth type of attribute that does not depend on the seven basic attributes, as well as the ninth type of attribute, the time attribute.

The space-type Jutsu include rather low-level means, such as the summoning technique, which has been mastered by a relatively large circle of ninja, but among the time-attribute Jutsu there are no similar low-level techniques.

The prophetic ability of Gamamaru, the Great Toad-Sage, the ability to foretell the future of the High Priestess of the Demon Land, backward in time of Urashiki Ōtsutsuki, stop time of Momoshiki Ōtsutsuki....

Including Yeruashi himself.

Known time attribute skills can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
