For The Real Konoha?

"That's true, it's not worth my time, let's talk about the promotion of the forbidden jutsus instead."

Tsunade truly didn't respect the council.

She finished speaking and patted Kyōichi.

Sis has taken care of these nuisances for you, it's your turn now.

Kyōichi stood up and said, "Forbidden jutsus, of course, cannot be widely promoted, but within a small sector of our forces, selecting a few specifi forbidden jutsus that aren't too harmful, and promoting them under voluntary conditions, Surely isn't an obstacle. Like the Seven Heavens Breathing Method for instance."

"Your breathing technique, there should be a more advanced version, right?"

Danzo asked.

"Oh? You all are worried about lifespan issues with the basic version, but now want the advanced version?"

Tsunade gave a cold laugh.

She knew these people too well!

Their so-called opposition is just to put forth their own demands and have the proposal proceed according to their ideas.

At least, this was true of Danzo.

The Third Hokage held his forehead, massaging away an headache. First the two advisors, then Tsunade.

Today's meeting was really is ill-timed.

He even wanted to say let's discuss it another day.

But.

The others clearly had no such intention.

Kyōichi couldn't be bothered to deal with Danzo's question, he jumped directly to: "The Seven Heavens Breathing Method and the first two gates of the Eight Gates are both of the less harmful type of jutsus we recommend. They can save ninja lives at critical moments."

"The Eight Gates might be difficult, how about the difficulty of the Seven Heavens Breathing Method?"

After pondering for a moment, Orochimaru asked.

When it came to forbidden jutsus, his research was much deeper than Kyōichi's.

"About A-rank in difficulty, and there are no chakra restrictions, most Jonin should be able to master it."

"It is indeed quite good..."

Orochimaru nodded.

Such a jutsu, with low difficulty and average cost, in his eyes, is not really a forbidden jutsu. Moreover, he clearly understood Kyōichi's intention, on the battlefield, such an explosive forbidden jutsu could very possibly save one's life!

"What about the Eight Gates?"

The Third Hokage asked.

"The first gate of the Eight Gates allows one to fully control their own power, and the second gate allows one to overexert their body's energy to recover physical strength. Both abilities can save lives."

Kyōichi explained.

The Third Hokage actually already knew, after all, he had seen the specific content of the Eight Gates and the Seven Heavens Breathing Method. Now he was just asking on behalf of the council.

After all, Tsunade was really too fierce beforhand.

Seeing everyone looking at her, Koharu, looking uncomfortable, still spoke: "I still think that we should not rush to conclusions."

She couldn't remain silent.

Even if it meant facing Tsunade!

"How did my grandfather manage to teach the two of you to become such geniuses! Under your wise leadership, the strength of the Leaf is getting stronger and stronger. You should know that in the past, the Sand Village would never have had a chance to be defeated by us."

Tsunade "complimented" with a smile.

But.

Her words made Koharu and Homura veins pulsate with unrestrained anger.

Listening to all the nice words, but when added up, the meaning conveyed the opposite.

In the past the Sunagakure had no chance of defeating Konoha?

Indeed.

Because in the past, the Sand Village would not dare to bare its fangs at the Leaf.

"I think it is the Third Hokage who is holding back Konoha. If the two advisors were to manage Konoha's affairs, the Konoha of today would definitely not have become the target of so many nations."

Kyōichi said with a smile.

This time the Third Hokage was also speechless.

You guys can argue all you want, but why am I being dragged into this?

And moreover.

"Are you praising us?" The Third Hokage seemed frustrated. "These two together, they were really hard to handle."

"You brat, you, you!" Koharu Utatane was so angry she was having trouble breathing.

Kyōichi seemed to be flattering, but actually he was mocking their stubbornness and conservatism —— "If you two are in charge, Konoha would be at the same level as the other big nations!"

"These two techniques are indeed useful, I agree to lift the ban, but Konoha needs a more complete version." Danzo spoke calmly.

"Lord Danzo, Konoha does not have the right to take others' secret techniques, whether it's my breathing technique or Day's complete Eight Gates, I proposed to lift the ban because I want to make Konoha stronger."

"This is not a good bargaining chip, I can also not promote it, it's no loss to me personally."

Kyōichi squinted his eyes, looking at Danzo without any fear.

With his current strength, he didn't need to fear this old ghost!

"I didn't mean that, the Root has Konoha's most resilient ninjas and has made great contributions to Konoha. I'm asking this not for myself, but for the collective strength of Konoha." Danzo frowned.

He found...

This kid is not easy to deal with! His words are sharp, and he clearly understands the position and advantages, always pulling the Third Hokage's side, attacking their side.

Like this, not only will he not get any benefits, but also attract a lot of trouble.

"For Konoha? Can you represent Konoha?" Tsunade's face was full of bright smiles.

This old dog.

Always talking about Konoha, but what is he actually after, does he think others don't know?

"Everything Root does is for Konoha." Danzo spoke calmly.

"I heard that the training in Root is very cruel, every session has many casualties, in the process the members lose all emotions. If Lord Danzo is capable, why not let your ninjas train from a young age, every gruaduate will master the Eight Gates!"

"A group of ninja who can utilizie Eight Gates, even if they are not as powerful as Hashirama, but they should have no problem to crush our enemies. If you can do this, why should you hesitate to use Eight Gates?" Kyōichi shrugged.

"Makes sense!" Tsunade echoed seamlessly.

They seemed to be mocking Danzo, but actually they were also mocking the council — why are they so concerned about the safety of the ninjas, but they don't care when so many die in Root every year?

Even Orochimaru laughed after hearing this.

A group of people using Eight Gates...

It was a daring thought of Kyōichi.

But if it could really be realized, such a team would indeed be terrifying.

At this point, Danzo was getting angry.

Suddenly.

Boom! There was a loud noise, the Third Hokage slammed the table, and the table directly collapsed.

"Enough! This quarrel ends here, we are all working for Konoha, there's no need to attack each other."

The Third Hokage stopped them, then looked at Danzo and the others, "Danzo, I've made my decision about lifting the ban on forbidden jutsu, I didn't plan to listen to your opinions, you can leave now."

"Even you, Hiruzen..." Koharu was stunned.

The Third Hokage was too straightforward, making her a little unresponsive, and she couldn't accept it for a while.

"Hiruzen, forbidden jutsu cannot be lifted casually!" Koharu hurriedly said.

They still wanted to get extra benefits.

The Second Hokage lost his patience.

"I think, as the Hokage, I should still have some authority, right?" Hiruzen Sarutobi's tone was serious.

He had been reflecting on himself, thinking that he had been too conservative in some areas. Now Konoha was in a difficult time.

At this moment, Eight Gates and Active Breath Technique should be open to Jonin, to enhance the collective strength of Konoha.

They first need to survive to talk about lifespan!

"Hiruzen, we didn't mean that..." Koharu Utatane was stunned.

She didn't understand why the Third Hokage was so persistent this time, even showing a near-falling out attitude.

Although...

This time they did come uninvited.

"About forbidden jutsu, I will decide which ones are allowed to be spread and studied, and if I find out you are researching them secretly without my permission, even if you are my old friends or students, I will show you no mercy."
