"Sensei."
Natsuki walked into Orochimaru's study.
Although the current Orochimaru had not yet begun pursuing immortality, he already had the idea of learning every jutsu in the shinobi world.
Therefore, if he was not out on missions, he usually stayed in his study, learning all kinds of ninjutsu and secret techniques.
"Today, I defeated Chōza-senpai, Inoichi-senpai, and Shikaku-senpai."
Natsuki got straight to the point.
Orochimaru nodded slightly.
He understood Natsuki's strength very well.
In terms of swordsmanship alone, he could already be called a Tokubetsu Jonin.
The only problem was that his endurance was lacking.
But defeating three third-year students was still very easy and not worth being surprised over.
"The shadow secret technique Shikaku-senpai used was very interesting."
Natsuki continued, "Sensei, I have two ideas for shadow secret techniques."
He was laying the groundwork for creating Shadow Storage and Shadow Assassin.
These two abilities were very useful, and he estimated he would use them often.
After using them a few tis, he definitely would not be able to hide them from others, so he might as well bring them up himself.
"What ideas?"
Orochimaru raised his head, looked at him, and asked.
"The Nara Clan's research on shadows all uses shadows to control or attack enemies."
Natsuki said slowly, "I think we can change the approach and research the effect of shadows on oneself."
"This is related to the Nara Clan's position within Ino-Shika-Chō."
Orochimaru said casually.
Ino-Shika-Chō had always acted together, and the Nara Clan's shadow secret techniques basically served the team or Ino-Shika-Chō.
"My idea is to open up a space within one's own shadow."
Natsuki said in a deep voice, "When the ti cos, one can hide oneself or various items inside the shadow space."
Orochimaru's calm expression could not help freezing.
Hiruzen was called the Professor of Ninjutsu, but Orochimaru was actually not bad either. He had deep research into all kinds of ninjutsu and secret techniques.
In an instant, he thought of the uses of these two shadow secret techniques.
Without a doubt, they would be of great help to shinobi.
"My Yin Release ability is poor, so I can only trouble Sensei to teach ."
Natsuki said again.
The Nara Clan's shadow secret techniques were essentially Yin Release.
"With your current strength and age, you are not suited to creating Yin Release ninjutsu yourself, but this idea of yours is indeed very good."
Orochimaru stood up, took a scroll from the bookshelf, handed it to Natsuki, and said, "Read this scroll first."
"Thank you, Sensei."
Natsuki took the scroll and glanced at it. Four large words were written on the cover, Basics of Yin Release.
"If there is anything you don't understand, co and ask ."
Orochimaru added.
Natsuki paused, then asked, "Sensei, can you take outside the village to do missions?"
"Why are you suddenly asking this?"
Orochimaru was slightly surprised and asked.
"I want to adapt to the life of a shinobi in advance."
Natsuki explained, "And combat is the fastest way to improve."
"A true shinobi's life is cruel. You need to be ntally prepared."
Orochimaru thought for a mont, then said, "If your thoughts still haven't changed by sumr vacation, I'll take you on a mission."
It was still the sa saying. Geniuses always had privileges.
The Ninja Academy could no longer contain this student of his. It was indeed ti for him to go to the wider shinobi world.
"Thank you, Sensei."
Natsuki could not help letting out a breath of relief.
It was June now. Sumr vacation would arrive soon, so he did not need to wait too long.
"There is no need to rush when it cos to creating shadow secret techniques. Your focus should still be on learning Konoha Style Swordsmanship."
Orochimaru reminded him.
"Yes, Sensei."
Natsuki nodded and said, "I'll go train now."
He did not directly ask Orochimaru for the summon beasts of Ryūchi Cave.
Mainly because doing that would make him seem too impatient.
After all, in theory, he was still not Orochimaru's official student.
After bowing slightly, Natsuki left the study and went to the courtyard.
Not long after, Nawaki also arrived and trained with him.
What Nawaki was learning was still Water Release ninjutsu.
Like Hiruzen, Orochimaru knew all Five Nature Transformations and could also teach Water Release.
Night fell.
Natsuki returned to the Konoha Orphanage.
Only at this ti did he have ti to test his Shadow Storage.
Natsuki looked at his own shadow.
Shadow Space!
After the ability was activated, he felt that his shadow had changed.
Natsuki imdiately took out various ninja tools from his pouch and threw them into his shadow.
After that, he felt a sense of weight.
But at present, it did not affect his movent.
He could also put in so food or dicine.
Natsuki suddenly let out a soft sound of surprise.
This Shadow Space was very suitable for taijutsu shinobi like Might Guy and Rock Lee. It was equivalent to carrying weights with them.
Ti ca to the next day.
As soon as Natsuki walked into the Ninja Academy, he noticed that it was different from usual.
Every student he t looked at him curiously, and there were even quite a few bold girls who ca to chat with him and ask for his autograph.
For the first ti, he felt what it was like to beco a big star.
It seed that the news of him defeating Ino-Shika-Chō yesterday had completely spread.
However, there were many geniuses in the Ninja Academy, so being watched like this would only be temporary.
As before, after finishing theory class, Natsuki left the Ninja Academy together with Minato.
But today, he did not imdiately go to find Orochimaru. Instead, he went to the Uchiha Clan's compound.
As Natsuki walked, he looked around.
The Uchiha Clan compound gave him the feeling of a village within a city, forming its own system.
As expected of a major clan famous throughout the shinobi world.
Added to the extrely unstable Sharingan, it was no wonder Hiruzen and Shimura Danzō paid so much attention to the Uchiha Clan.
"I wonder if Uchiha Fugaku has beco the clan head yet."
Natsuki rembered that Fugaku was five or six years older than Mikoto, so he was probably around seventeen now.
In the current shinobi world, the lifespan of shinobi was generally not long. Being able to live past forty was already considered a long life.
At seventeen, he might already have beco the clan head of the Uchiha Clan.
However, he had not co today to find Fugaku, but to find Granny Cat.
Granny Cat's origins were unknown, but she was the contractor of the ninja cat clan.
Aside from that, she also ran a ninja tool shop, and most of her custors were shinobi of the Uchiha Clan.
In the original work, whether it was Sasuke or Itachi, both of them respected her greatly.
Natsuki passed through the Uchiha Clan's compound and soon arrived at an empty district.
The so-called empty district was actually an abandoned group of buildings.
The base of the ninja cat clan and Granny Cat's ninja tool shop were both there.
"Who are you, ow?"
A ninja cat wearing red clothes appeared in front of him.
"I'm looking for Granny Cat."
Natsuki answered.
"Granny Cat isn't soone just anyone can et, ow."
The ninja cat licked its paw and said.
Seeing this, Natsuki imdiately handed over a Matatabi drink.
He had already guessed who this ninja cat was.
Among Granny Cat's subordinates, or rather, among the ninja cat clan, there were two high-ranking ninja cats called Hina and Denka.
Hina liked to add "ow" at the end of every sentence.
And she was extrely greedy. If soone went to see her empty-handed, her expression would beco very unpleasant.
"You're very good, ow."
Hina's eyes lit up. She held the Matatabi drink with both paws and took a sip. Her face imdiately showed a dazed expression.
The corners of Natsuki's mouth twitched.
Why did this look like catnip?
He rembered that the original work ntioned that the ninja cat clan liked Matatabi drinks, so he had specially bought quite a lot.
Under Hina's lead, Natsuki t Granny Cat.
"You are not a child of the Uchiha Clan."
Granny Cat looked him over twice and said.
"My na is Kira Natsuki."
Natsuki got straight to the point and said, "I ca to find Granny Cat because I want a ninja cat as a summon beast."
"So you are Orochimaru-sama's student."
Granny Cat was very straightforward and said, "As long as a ninja cat takes a liking to you, you can take it away."
Did Orochimaru's na really carry that much weight?
However, Granny Cat was most likely not giving respect to Orochimaru but to Hiruzen.
She did not want to, or rather, had no need to offend a shinobi from the Hokage's faction.
"Thank you, Granny Cat."
Natsuki followed Hina again and saw ninja cats spread all over the place.
His strategy was simple, tempt them with delicious food.
For a ti, the ninja cats all beca excited and volunteered themselves one after another.
"Choose ! Choose !"
"I can do a backflip!"
"Boss, I can sing! I can even massage!"
Natsuki subconsciously looked at the cat that had spoken.
It was completely white and looked very beautiful.
"Then you."
Natsuki pointed and said.
"Thank you, Boss, ow!"
The white cat said very happily.
If it did not beco a shinobi's summon beast, it could only stay in the empty district.
It had wanted to go out and play for a long ti. Now, it finally had the chance.
