Third Hokage's Attention

"Sure enough, most of Konoha's Chūnin only know a few ninjutsu, and Jōnins basically don't go to public training grounds to practice."

Ryosuke was already mentally prepared. So, his initial goal was actually to peek at those ninja clan's grounds.

But the clan grounds of these ninja families are basically covered by independent barriers probably to guard against the Byakugan of the Hyuga clan.

Although, not the entire clan is under the cover of the barrier, some key places are all basically included.

Therefore, even Ryosuke couldn't see the scenery of these places with his Byakugan.

"Although it's a pity, it's okay."

All jōnin ninjas are not from well known families, some jonins are commoners as well.

At this stage, there are as many as five or six hundred Jōnins in Konoha alone.

But most of them are part of a major clan. The Sarutobi clan has the largest number of ninjas.

After all, that's the Hokage's clan.

The Third Hokage has been in power for so many years, it is impossible not to give some benefits to his clan.

Besides, the Shimura clan, Homura's clan, and Koharu's clan's number of Jōnin is also not much less.

The Hyuga clan, the so-called No. 1 clan of Konoha, really cannot defeat the Sarutobi clan if they really were to fight.

That is to say, the ninjas of the Hyuga clan talk about having the title of "the first clan of Konoha" all day long, but they don't know that while they are arrogant, the strength of the Sarutobi clan has long surpassed them.

And if it is said that among Konoha's Jōnin, clan ninjas account for more than 90%.

Then the remaining few percent are commoner Jōnin.

And that doesn't include the likes of Hatake Kakashi.

Although the Hatake clan is in decline, they are still a renowned ninja clan.

Just because there are only a few people doesn't mean that it is not considered a ninja clan, right?

For details, please refer to the Uchiha clan.

But, Jōnins usually have a mission and are not in the village all year round.

Ryosuke has to depend on luck if he wants to spy on those Jōnin and copy their ninjutsu.

The first comdition is to find suitable people.

The second condition is that this Jōnin should happen to be performing ninjutsu within the village.

"I don't know about other ninjutsu, but it should be quite simple to copy the Body Flicker Technique."

During the lunch break at noon, Ryosuke took the lunch box and went with Ino and the others to the rooftop for lunch.

In the middle, Ryosuke had been using his Byakugan to observe some ninjas within sight.

Soon, he noticed a few Anbu ninjas wearing Anbu uniforms moving quickly in the village, heading in the direction of the Hokage building.

"It's the Anbu ninja."

Ryosuke was secretly delighted, and then silently used his Sharingan to copy the Body Flicker Technique they performed.

Konoha Body Flicker Technique!

This is the most common Body Flicker Technique of Konoha. It is said to be an improved version by the Second Hokage.

It is one of the few ninjutsu made by the Second Hokage that does not need to be written in the Scroll of seals.

As we all know, most of the ninjutsu invented by Second Hokage, except Water release ninjutsu are recorded in the Scroll of seals.

And this Konoha Body Flicker Technique can be regarded as a fish that slipped through the net.

But this thing is actually just modified by Second Hokage and not his masterpiece.

The difficulty of training is not high, only D-rank.

It is one rank higher than the Three Body Technique. But correspondingly, it's universality is very good.

Basically, Konoha's ninjas, as long as they are above Chūnin, everyone can use it.

As for Genin, if their team leader is willing to teach them, or if they are from a ninja clan, they can also learn it.

Because the difficulty is really not high!

"D-rank Konoha Body Flicker Technique, here it is!"

Ryosuke does not dislike the popular Konoha Body Flicker Technique, after all, he has not learned any Body Flicker Technique.

"Ryosuke, try my little octopus balls."

Ino, who was sitting next to him, held a small octopus ball and handed it to Ryosuke's lunch box.

"Thank you, Ino."

Ryosuke picked it up and took a bite.

"Well, it tastes great." He said.

"Really?"

Ino looked quite happy.

"Then come and try this blossom sausage as well. My mother fried it in oil. It's crispy and delicious."

"Well, this one is delicious too."

"Hee hee! I knew we both had similar tastes."

"Ino, don't let me eat it all the time, eat it yourself too."

"It's okay, Ryosuke, eat more, I'm a girl, so I eat less."

Ino kept adding vegetables to Ryosuke's lunch box.

She rested her chin on her small hand, and looked sideways at Ryosuke eating.

Shikamaru, Chōji: "..."

Should we not be here?

The two looked at each other, seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

...

Hokage building.

In Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had just finished reviewing some documents picked up the cigarette stick in hand and took a puff, then picked up the next report and glanced at it.

"Yagami Ryosuke...was he a child born to a commoner?"

"I didn't expect that there would be another civilian ninja with good talent, who can come from behind and defeat the descendants of the Uchiha clan. He is considered an outstanding talent."

The report was sent by the Ninja School, which recorded the current situation of some students who performed well in the school.

As the principal of the ninja school, the Third Hokage will also care about the growth of these children from time to time to see if there are any children with outstanding talents.

If there are particularly outstanding ones, he will pay more attention to them.

By the time of graduation, a better leader will be assigned to them. This is also a kind of training.

After all, these children are the future of the village.

In today's report, a child named Ryosuke was highlighted.

What caught the Third Hokage's attention was that he actually defeated Uchiha Sasuke, a descendant of the Uchiha clan.

"Uchiha Sasuke... Sure enough. His talent is still far inferior to Itachi." He thought to himself.

After all, Itachi graduated from ninja school at the age of seven, passed the Chūnin exam by himself at the age of 10, and was promoted to Chūnin, joined Anbu at the age of 11, and became an excellent Anbu ninja.

Such a resume is second only to Hatake Kakashi.

As the younger brother, Sasuke is far behind. There is no comparison at all.

People can't help but wonder, are they born from the same parent?
