By then, even Tsunade herself will be the same age as the current Third Hokage.
Watching Konoha continue its legacy generation after generation filled her with immense joy.
Even Sarutobi Konohamaru, who looks like a little girl now, will become a mature Jonin leading a team in the future. How can this not make everyone feel emotional?
He looks like someone I know; turns out he's the son of someone I know!
The only ninja who didn't know was the girl with glasses; only the Seventh Hokage, Naruto, knew that she was Sasuke's daughter, Sarada.
"So that's how it is. It was just a thought at first."
Looking at this group, the Seventh Hokage Naruto had a good idea of what was going on.
He entrusted his son Boruto Uzumaki, Sasuke's daughter Sarada Uchiha, and Mitsuki, who had been placed in the group by Orochimaru, to Sarutobi Konohamaru to lead.
Thinking back to when we first met, she was just a little girl who wasn't even a ninja, but now she's a Jonin leading a team, I can't help but feel a sense of感慨 (gan3kai3, a feeling of mixed emotions, including nostalgia and nostalgia).
Times change, and time really flies!
To everyone's surprise, Sarutobi Konohamaru used a mini scroll that resembled a capsule to unleash the Shadow Binding Technique, a unique secret technique from the Nara clan that only they could use.
"What is that device on his wrist?" Minato Namikaze frowned. Has technology advanced to this level in the last few decades?
How could someone who has not received relevant training be able to perform the ninja clan's secret techniques?
The world has evolved to a point where he can't understand it anymore.
Later, under Sarada Uchiha's questioning, Konohamaru Sarutobi explained that this item was called a scientific ninja tool, and that it allowed him to perform ninjutsu that he would never normally be able to perform.
After all, many ninjutsu require the adaptation of chakra nature. Generally speaking, normal people only have one chakra nature, but some people are special and have more than two.
Only those who reach the Jonin level can cultivate the second attribute transformation.
However, this scientific ninja tool can ignore this characteristic, allowing people to use it directly without needing to cultivate a second attribute change.
It even includes the Nara clan's Shadow Binding Technique.
"Has the Nara clan become this open-minded in the future?"
Minato Namikaze was also a bit confused. While the emergence of scientific ninja tools due to scientific advancements was somewhat understandable, the fact that the Nara clan would open up their ninjutsu to others was truly an eye-opener for an old-fashioned person like him.
He was well aware of how much these ninja clans valued their ninjutsu. If any ninjutsu was leaked, they would almost immediately launch a relentless pursuit to the death, making it impossible for the ninjutsu to be completely lost.
This is similar to how bloodline families prevent their bloodlines from flowing out.
Who would have thought that the Nara clan would be so generous after only forty years?
They've even brought out their own secret techniques for experimentation?
He wouldn't even dare to dream of something like having all the major ninja clans hand over their secret techniques for experimentation.
Let alone him, even Shimura Danzo, who was always arrogant and domineering and didn't take any ninja clans seriously, wouldn't dare to think about it or do it.
At most, he could force the major clans to hand over their young elites so he could take them away and train them into Root ninjas, but their ninjutsu would still be limited to their own use and would not be passed on to other Root ninjas.
Unless it's a sealed technique of a clan that's clearly extinct, like the Uzumaki clan of the Land of Whirlpools, or the Uchiha clan that's been wiped out, trying to use a clan's secret ninjutsu is basically tantamount to starting a war.
It was a war against all the bloodline families and ninja clans in the village who inherited secret techniques.
Even a commoner Jonin wouldn't support it!
Because even commoner Jonin have their own children, they also want to pass on some of their unique techniques so that their children can have a head start and eventually become a ninja clan comparable to a clan of secret techniques.
The most outstanding among them is the Hatake clan. The Hatake clan transformed from a samurai family. Apart from the Hatake sword technique, they do not have any special secret techniques. However, they have still managed to gain their current status and strength step by step through the Hatake sword technique.
So Minato Namikaze saw what would happen in the future and exclaimed that he couldn't understand it.
Immediately afterwards, he saw the future Sarutobi Konohamaru take out a scroll and seal the Rasengan he knew into the scroll.
Apart from Sasuke Uchiha, who was still somewhat confused, everyone else almost immediately realized the enormous amount of information contained within it.
This is a strategic-level invention!
Even an A-rank ninjutsu like the Rasengan can be sealed inside, and then taken out and used when needed. What a revolutionary and innovative thing that is!
For example, when Kakashi Hatake used the Lightning Blade, he could only use it a few times. Once he used up all his chakra, he was completely exhausted and basically lost his fighting ability.
This situation frequently occurred in Kakashi Hatake's battles, and it was a consistent part of his entire life's fighting. Therefore, he always conserved chakra in his battles, except for the fact that he had to carve a dog's head on the Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall.
But what if we prepared ten or eight scrolls of such ninjutsu before setting off? Wouldn't that allow us to take them by surprise?
"No, actually, pre-made ninjutsu like this exists now, doesn't it?"
Jiraiya suddenly realized that although this was convenient, such pre-made ninjutsu did exist.
Doesn't he carry a bunch of reels with him at all times?
It contains pre-written ninjutsu, but they are generally auxiliary ninjutsu, such as sealing techniques.
There are basically no offensive ninjutsu that can be used directly like this.
Moreover, that was only a semi-finished product, and it still needed to be completed later. But this one is a complete product that is completely sealed inside. It can be easily released by activating it through that machine, which is completely different.
Moreover, this reel can be shrunk down to be portable, which is incredibly convenient.
The most crucial part is this zoom-in/zoom-out technique.
If it could be shrunk to that size, each person could be equipped with dozens of scrolls, and their combat power would be astonishing.
For example, if he seals his Sage Chakra in a scroll, he can use it directly when needed and immediately enter Sage Mode.
Instantly enter Sage Mode!
This is clearly a very good method!
Jiraiya felt like he had gained a completely new perspective!
The hardest part of entering Sage Mode is calming down and extracting Sage Chakra, but what if you can prepare in advance?
And not just Sage Chakra, could other types of chakra be prepared in advance and replenished when needed?
This is different from soldier pills. After taking soldier pills, chakra and stamina recover quickly, but that still takes time, and it also excessively extracts the body's potential, which affects lifespan.
But this one is different; it can restore you to full health in one go.
"This looks like Tsunade's Yin Seal!"
Jiraiya suddenly realized something.
Is this also the principle behind Tsunade's Yin Seal—storing chakra in advance and using it at a crucial moment?
Besides this, it can also store some healing ninjutsu and the like. In short, it can be used in many environments and in many ways.
"This is indeed very good, but it requires a high level of understanding of sealing techniques themselves."
Jiraiya sighed.
"How many years has it been since then, and things have progressed this much already?"
"Is the last one Sarada?"
Uchiha Itachi's attention was actually focused on the last female ninja.
Because he remembered that Kitahara Kaede had mentioned in her diary that Uchiha Sarada and Uzumaki Boruto were teammates.
If that's the case, then the identity of the last female ninja is obvious, and judging from Sarada's appearance, she really does resemble Sasuke when he was young.
However, what made him frown slightly was why his niece was wearing glasses. The Uchiha clan is famous for its eye techniques and bloodline limits, so why was she wearing glasses?
Of course, he still wears reading glasses in private, but that's because his long-term use of the Mangekyou Sharingan has resulted in a significant loss of his pupil power that he can't replenish.
But Sarada is wearing glasses at such a young age, which is not a good sign.
How is Sasuke going to become a father in the future? How come he can't even control his child's nearsightedness?
However, Itachi Uchiha remembered what Kitahara Kaede's diary said: because Sasuke Uchiha was away from home for many years, Sarada didn't even know what her biological father looked like.
How absurd!
"Is the progress of scientific ninja tools this fast now?" The Seventh Naruto remembered that there was indeed a plan about scientific ninja tools that he had approved, and he had approved it.
At his time, research on scientific ninja tools had only just begun, but clearly, several years later, there were already results. Although they could not be deployed on a large scale yet, they had entered the experimental stage.
This is indeed a very good way for ninjas to replenish their combat strength!
The premise is that we cannot rely on this power.
This is a very important distinction: whether you control the power or you are controlled by it. There is a fundamental difference between the two.
Moreover, this power must be used with extreme caution, because it does not require the user's own strength and can even be used by ordinary people. This was the point that the Seventh Hokage, Naruto, was most worried about.
What followed was a scene depicting Naruto's future life.
Especially for Minato Namikaze in the past, this is equivalent to a future scenario forty or fifty years from now.
Compared to now, it's like a completely different era. There are all sorts of things that don't exist in this time, like televisions, computers, airships, trains, arcades, etc. It's all a completely new and never-before-seen scene.
Even those from a slightly more recent era, like Uchiha Sasuke, were just watching the spectacle.
