The problems of forbidden jutsu

Chapter 105: Forbidden Art Problem

"Sarutobi-sensei, are you

really going to do this? It looks like..." Orochimaru said in disbelief,

standing in Hokage's office with Tsunade and Jiraiya.

"This matter will be

discussed once Kiba arrives. Let's listen to what he has to say," the

Third Hokage replied.

Jiraiya and Tsunade exchanged

glances but remained silent. Orochimaru frowned slightly, then fell silent as

well.

At that moment, Homura opened the

door and walked in, reporting, "My lord, Kiba has arrived."

"Let him in quickly,"

the Third Hokage said.

Homura paused, then added,

"Minato is here too."

"Oh? Minato is here too? Is

there something wrong? Hmm... Minato should be aware of this too, so let him

come in together," the Third Hokage said after pondering.

"Yes," Homura nodded but

still didn't go out to call them. He hesitated.

"What's wrong?" the

Third Hokage asked, noticing his hesitation. The Sannin were also puzzled. They

naturally knew Homura as shrewd and capable, an excellent ninja. Otherwise, he

wouldn't be the assistant of the Third Hokage.

"Did something happen,

Homura?" Jiraiya asked, finding Homura's reaction strange.

Hearing the questions from the

Third Hokage and Jiraiya, Homura gritted his teeth and said, "Third

Hokage-sama, the purpose of calling Kiba this time is to inquire about the

Eight Gates Released Formation, right?"

The Third Hokage nodded,

"That's exactly what it's about."

Homura nodded, then hesitated

again.

"What's the matter, Homura?

This isn't like you," Jiraiya said, seeing his hesitation.

"I believe in Kiba,"

Homura said firmly, raising his voice a bit. "I believe he has nothing to

do with Iwagakure, which stole the scroll of the Eight Gates Released

Formation. He's just a seven-year-old child, an orphan who grew up in Konoha!"

The Third Hokage and the Sannin

were stunned.

Homura, don't you hate the

traitors who betrayed the village the most? He had sneered at Kiba before and

was extremely displeased. Why would he speak for him today?

Even I was a bit dazed.

But the Third Hokage's mouth held

a slight smile.

This Homura... has changed his view of Kiba.

"Call them in," the

Third Hokage exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Yes," Homura nodded and

pushed out the door, still looking a bit uneasy.

Soon, Kiba and Namikaze Minato

were brought in. After they entered, Homura closed the door and exited.

As they stood there, Kiba had a

clear expression on his face, while Namikaze Minato had a slightly wry smile.

The Sannin had already stepped

aside, but their gazes on Kiba were intense.

"Kiba, I called you here to

ask about the Eight Gates Released Formation. When you defeated Uchiha Hirohiko

in the second trial of the Chunin Exam, you used it. How did you learn

it?" the Third Hokage asked bluntly.

This child, does he already know why we summoned

him? When he learned the truth about the incident, he asked if I had found the

forbidden scroll. He probably noticed it then. Sharp mind.

Kiba nodded and said, "Yes, I

learned all about the Eight Gates Released Formation from this scroll."

As he spoke, Kiba took out the

Eight Gates Released Formation scroll he had brought from the basement before

setting off. He spoke without panic, with an even tone, as if discussing

something mundane.

In this matter, he had no fault.

Forbidden techniques are forbidden, but it doesn't mean practicing them is a

crime. Naruto's Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu is also forbidden, yet Naruto learned

it. While the theft of the forbidden technique scroll by Naruto was forgiven

due to his heritage, stealing forbidden techniques itself violates the village

rules.

Kiba hadn't stolen the Eight Gates

Released Formation. He found it in his home's basement and practiced it. He

could accept being reprimanded for practicing the forbidden technique, but he

wasn't at fault.

As for the scrolls of the

forbidden art, Kiba had intended to return them after learning about the

incident. He practiced it to open other gates as a matter of course.

The Eight Gates Released Formation

is risky but with hard work and perseverance, anyone can achieve something in

ten or twenty years. It requires hard work and dedication, not an innate

genius.

Seeing Kiba's natural behavior,

the Third Hokage took a breath and asked, "Can you tell me how you found

this scroll?"

Kiba nodded and recounted how he

discovered the scroll. He had done nothing wrong. It was accidental that he

discovered the Eight Gates Released Formation scroll. He had no reason to hide

anything.

He had found nothing special about

the scroll itself. On the day he woke from a state of self-abandonment and

decided to work hard, he cleaned his messy room. During the process, he

discovered the basement and then the Eight Gates Released Formation scroll.

At that time, he found it strange

that apart from the stone platform where the scrolls were placed, the basement

was a square subsidence space, as if created using Earth Release ninjutsu.

However, he was ecstatic when he

discovered the scroll. That idea just passed by. Now, recalling the incident,

he felt the basement should have been created when those Iwagakure ninjas

raided. If they failed, they hid the scroll here.

As for why it was hidden here,

Kiba didn't know. He didn't know the situation at the time.

Those Iwagakure ninjas had a good

plan, but unfortunately, they were wiped out by the Third Hokage. No one

brought the news back to Iwagakure, and no one knew the scrolls were hidden in

the small cabin where Kiba lived.

This small cabin existed before.

After the incident, it was assigned to Kiba by the village.

The Third Hokage nodded after

listening to Kiba's words. He knew Kiba was honest and truthful. "Kiba,

the Eight Gates Released Formation is a dangerous forbidden technique. It is

life-threatening and must be stopped immediately. This scroll is a forbidden

technique, and we must take it back. Returning the scroll should be a great

achievement, but practicing the forbidden technique was a significant mistake.

I will not pursue this matter, but your great achievements will not be

recognized. Next time, such a thing must never happen again. Understand?"

Seeing the serious look of the

Third Hokage, Kiba nodded and stepped forward to return the scroll of the Eight

Gates Released Formation.

The Sannin looked at each other in

confusion. Orochimaru frowned again but remained silent.

Namikaze Minato looked at Kiba and

seemed slightly relieved.

After handing over the scroll, the

Third Hokage nodded and said, "The Eight Gates Released Formation is a

forbidden technique. You can continue to practice it in the future, but you

cannot teach it to others. Can you promise me that?"

Kiba nodded again, "I

understand, Lord Hokage."

Kiba knew the Third Hokage was

being lenient. Although he had done nothing wrong, practicing the Eight Gates

Released Formation was suspicious. Forbidden techniques and secret techniques

are sensitive ninjutsu, generally powerful, far exceeding ordinary ninjutsu.

The Third Hokage only asked him to return the scroll and allowed him to

continue practicing it, which was a form of tolerance.

"Well, you must keep this

matter a secret," the Third Hokage said with a serious face.

"Yes, Lord Hokage," Kiba

responded.

"Well, you should go back and

rest. The Chunin exam has just ended. You should have a good rest," the

Third Hokage said with a slight smile.

At this time, Kiba breathed a sigh

of relief. Although he was right, he feared punishment. However, he

underestimated the Third Hokage's wisdom.

"Yes, Lord Hokage."

Hearing the Third Hokage's words,

Kiba responded and backed out.

Seeing Kiba leave, the Third

Hokage maintained a satisfied smile. Afterwards, he asked Namikaze Minato,

"Minato, what brings you here?"

"Actually... nothing

happened, just passing by," Namikaze Minato said with a bit of reluctance.

In fact, Kushina got the news from somewhere that

the Third Hokage summoned the Sannin and Kiba. She worried about Kiba and asked

me to come...

Passing by...

The Third Hokage, the Sannin, and

even Kiba, who was about to close the door, felt a drop of cold sweat on the

back of their heads.

This excuse is terrible!
