The others nodded in agreement.

The Second Hokage was a genius who developed many forbidden techniques.

Nara Shintaku was a genius as well, but to claim that he surpassed the techniques developed by others was a bit too arrogant, wasn't it?

"Really, developers are the ones who understand techniques best."

"You should also have experienced this."

"Yes, so far, no one has surpassed you in the art of blood armor and the flying sickle kick."

"Don't underestimate the wisdom of our ancestors!"

"If you think like this, practicing the art of spiritualization will be very dangerous!"

Everyone frowned and looked at Nara Shintaku.

Alas...

Nara Shintaku sighed softly.

This was the gap between ordinary people and geniuses. When

Mayuri Kurotsuchi's template was developed to 25%, his inspiration, talent, and thinking speed were completely different from those of ordinary people.

He saw a world that ordinary people could not see.

'Orochimaru, will you feel the same way in the future?'

'That's why I resolutely defected.'

'Staying with people who don't understand you is just torture.'

Nara Shintaku thought to himself.

He chuckled, looked at the people in front of him, and began to make seals with his hands. "Whether it is true or not, you will know after you take a look."

Everyone suddenly widened their eyes.

"Really, Shintaku?"

"At this time, are you using the seal of the spiritualization technique?"

"Wait, this technique is dangerous!"

"There's no need to force the spell just to compete with us!"

"This is not a wise choice!"

The Third Hokage also changed his expression and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, saying, "Stop, Shintaku, you will only hurt yourself!"

Secret Technique: Spiritualization Technique!

Nara Shintaku completed the seal.

His soul activated, rising from the back of his head, appearing in the sight of everyone like a living person.

Everyone's expression was stunned.

"Real or fake?"

"It actually succeeded?"

"Shintaku, have you mastered this technique?"

"It's only been a few days!?"

"I remember that the Second Hokage also spent more than half a year becoming familiar with this technique!"

The members of Ino-Shika-Cho were stunned, unable to believe what they saw.

The Third Hokage was also shocked, his eyes wide, staring at Nara Shintaku in horror. "You... you actually have learned the Spiritualization Technique!"

"Impossible, this is too fast, right?"

"Even with the experience provided by Tsunade, it can't be so fast!"

Everyone felt their worldview being challenged.

Nara Shintaku didn't answer, but his spirit flew out of the door and raised his hand to grab a flying insect. The insect lost its life breath at the moment of contact.

"Kill on contact!?"

"That's right, this is the effect of the spiritualization technique!"

"Shintaku is so skilled!"

Everyone was completely convinced.

Seeing Nara Shintaku perform the Spirit Transformation Technique with their own eyes, it was impossible not to believe it.

"Shintaku…" The Third Hokage opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to say, and said shamefully, "I didn't expect that you really learned this technique."

"Sorry, I underestimated your talent."

"You do know more about the art of spiritualization than the Second Hokage!"

The Third Hokage bowed to Nara Shintaku.

Nara Shintaku said nothing, released the ninjutsu, and returned to his body.

He did not demonstrate further.

In the state of soul resurrection, this technique could allow people to master different types of ninjutsu with the efficiency of a bug. Those with great talent could even develop bloodline limits like Nara Shintaku!

"Shintaku, this technique…" The Third Hokage showed hesitation.

Nara Shintaku saw what he wanted to say at a glance.

He shook his head and said, "The learning conditions of this technique are too harsh. There is no point in teaching it publicly."

"I'm not going to let it out."

"Of course, if someone meets the requirements to learn the Spiritualization Technique, they can come to me, and I can teach them after examining them." After hearing this, the Third Hokage felt disappointed but didn't say anything.

After all, it was Nara Shintaku's decision.

Even if he was the Hokage, he couldn't take it away by force.

"Haha, let's stop talking about this and celebrate."

"It is a great joy that Shintaku has mastered the art of spiritualization!"

"Yeah, let's have a party."

"The Third Hokage should come too."

"The three families of Ino, Shika, and Chou haven't gathered together for a long time."

The other members of Ino-Shika-Cho changed the subject.

The Third Hokage took the opportunity to discuss the banquet.

That night, a large banquet was held in the Nara clan.

Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru were all invited.

At the same time, Jiraiya's disciple, Minato Namikaze, also brought his three disciples to participate.

Tsunade brought Kushina Uzumaki.

...

...

At the banquet, although the Third Hokage sat at the top, everyone's eyes kept glancing toward where Nara Shintaku was seated.

"Is that the disciple of Orochimaru-senpai?" Kushina lowered her voice and whispered in Tsunade's ear. "He looks so mature!"

"And he has a very cold temperament, just like Lord Orochimaru!"

"No wonder he was accepted as a disciple!"

Tsunade turned around and glared at Kushina after hearing this.

"If you say that, don't talk about it outside!"

"Don't worry, I will only tell you quietly," Kushina said with a smile.

Tsk!

Tsunade pouted and lowered her head to drink.

"Lady Tsunade, aren't you going to go up and have a chat with him?" Kushina asked curiously. "I heard that this banquet is to celebrate that child, right?"

Facing Kushina's question,

Tsunade's face flushed slightly.

She hurriedly lowered her head, took another sip of wine, and said in a muffled voice, "What is there to say? It's all the same old clichés."

"Eh?" Kushina was slightly stunned, feeling that there was something off about Tsunade today.
