Chapter 107 Creating Neji, the Third Hokage's Arrangements
"Speak, what do you want from me? Is there any progress on that matter?" Neji asked eagerly, unable to contain his excitement, as soon as he stepped into the Ishikawa residence.
He didn't believe that Ishikawa had simply asked him out for a chat. If it weren't for the many people and gossip along the way, and to avoid the news leaking out, he would have asked him on the street already!
"That matter? The Caged Bird! You're really impatient..." Ishikawa was slightly taken aback, but seeing through Neji's thoughts at a glance, he curled his lip.
If the problem of the caged bird were so easily solved, the Hyuga branch family wouldn't have been bound for thousands of years.
Although he has some clues, he cannot yet break the curse of the caged bird.
"Isn't that so..." Neji instantly understood upon seeing Ishikawa's expression, and hung his head in disappointment like a deflated balloon.
Sure enough, caged birds are not so easy to get rid of.
"I called you here mainly for this cultivation notebook. I hope you can grow quickly and keep up with my pace." Seeing Neji's disappointed look, Ishikawa didn't say anything more, turned around and took out a scroll and handed it over.
"Keep up with you?" Neji's lips twitched at this. He, a genius of the Hyuga clan, needed this?
However, considering that he had been defeated by Ishikawa yesterday, he still accepted the scroll with a puzzled look on his face.
"This is a training manual for precisely controlling chakra release. Although the secret technique is incomplete, it's still somewhat useful for someone like you who is also proficient in Gentle Fist." Ishikawa once again surprised everyone with his words, much to Neji's bewildered expression.
Hearing this, Neji's curiosity was instantly ignited. He immediately opened the scroll, glanced at it briefly, and then his eyes lit up with excitement. "Ishikawa, how do you have something like this?!"
As a member of the Hyuga clan who has mastered Gentle Fist, how could he not see how precious this scroll is!
To be honest, Neji, as a member of the Hyuga branch family, did not have a smooth training journey.
If it weren't for his father's cultivation notes, his own exceptional talent, and his diligent study and research, he would never have been able to master the Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!
But now, Ishikawa is handing him a precious scroll on how to precisely control chakra bursts, which makes Neji incredibly excited.
It's called a training notebook, but after just a quick glance, he realized that the techniques for generating power and the experience in controlling chakra were completely beyond what he could figure out overnight.
"Don't ask, I don't know." Ishikawa refused to answer directly, then glanced at the clock on the wall, "I'm tired today and need to rest and sleep! I'll lend you the notebook for three days, return it to me in three days."
He still needs to practice Chidori tonight, so he doesn't have that much time to chat nonsense.
"Thank you, Ishikawa." Neji paused slightly upon hearing this, and the thousand words in his heart finally turned into a solemn expression of gratitude.
In the ninja world, the secret techniques are extremely precious, and the reason why various clans can produce so many talented people is because of the ninja techniques passed down from generation to generation.
Although it is unknown where Ishikawa obtained the training notes, these notes, once organized and thoroughly understood, can be transformed into true secret ninjutsu.
This also indirectly proves Ishikawa's approval and trust in him. How could Neji, burdened by the darkness of his family, not be moved by such trust?!
"Mitarashi Ishikawa, from this day forward, you will be my lifelong friend, Hyuga Neji." Neji gave Ishikawa a deep look, then put away the scroll and slowly turned around.
"Neji, if you can integrate this notebook into Gentle Fist and Eight Trigrams Palm, you will definitely be able to rewrite your destiny. At any time, strength is the only way to control your destiny." Seeing Neji about to leave, Ishikawa added with a flicker of his eye.
"Fate..." Neji murmured without turning his head, then nodded and walked briskly out the door.
"Well, compared to Hyuga, who can unleash Gentle Fist from various pressure points throughout his body, Senju's strength is a perfect match this time!" Looking at the closed door, Ishikawa turned and walked into the bathroom with a smile on his lips.
In the original series, Neji was able to master the Rejuvenation Technique without a teacher, so what surprises will the addition of superhuman strength techniques bring him now?
Just imagining the amusing scene of Neji beating up a blond junior during the Chunin Exams made Ishikawa's lips curl into a smile, his eyes brimming with anticipation.
Invincible with words? You have to defeat your opponent first! You dare to use words if you can't beat them? Do you think everyone else is stupid...?
However, despite this, Ishikawa was not so bored as to use the Thousand Hands Super Strength to satisfy his perverse tastes.
Even if it was just a summary of his superhuman strength training notes compiled by Nohara Rin.
Ishikawa's true purpose was singular: to cultivate a capable assistant who could turn the tide in crucial moments.
Knowing the future enemy would be strong, wouldn't he have wasted his knowledge of so many plot lines if he didn't prepare in advance?
Night falls, and the time-traveling room descends once more.
Nohara Rin still didn't return that night, which didn't surprise Ishikawa. Whether in peacetime or wartime, missions could easily last a month or two, let alone a day or two!
He took a few steps to the inner wall door and immediately activated his full power-up mode. With his Red Eyes activated, Ishikawa recalled Kakashi's Chidori while using his X-ray vision to assess his own situation and forming hand seals.
"drink……"
A crackling sound of electricity rang out, and the room was instantly illuminated by the dazzling arc of lightning from Ishikawa's palm...
With his external assistance, Ishikawa recklessly squandered his chakra to train in lightning form transformations. After about two minutes of continuous output, Ishikawa's legs went weak, his face turned pale, as if he had been completely drained!
However, the gains were also considerable; the excessive cultivation he underwent, regardless of the cost, was equivalent to most of his usual half-day cultivation. Without hesitation, Ishikawa turned around and touched the doorknob again…
[This is still too slow! With my current chakra level, I should be able to train using the Shadow Clone Technique cheat. Ten times or a hundred times faster is unthinkable, but double speed is definitely achievable. Hmm, I must maximize the efficiency of this hour of cheat time!!]
An hour later, Ishikawa sighed inwardly as he watched the dissipating transdimensional connection.
After checking the time and using up all the chakra he had replenished to train his shuriken shadow clones, Ishikawa went to the bedside and fell asleep immediately.
The next day, in the Hokage's office.
"Kakashi, from today onwards, you need to focus on developing Ishikawa's leadership skills. If he can't become a squad leader by next year's graduation season, then we'll have to split the three of them up and redistribute them."
"So eager?" Kakashi frowned upon hearing the Third Hokage's arrangements, somewhat surprised by the Third Hokage's hasty attitude.
He had initially thought it would be delayed by two or three months, since there were still about six months until next year's graduation season. Unexpectedly…
"So, if he doesn't pass the test, which department do you plan to assign Ishikawa to?" Seeing the Third Hokage's resolute attitude, Kakashi changed the subject and inquired.
"How about the Anbu? With his spiritification techniques and swordsmanship, he'd be well-suited for working in the Anbu." The Third Hokage exhaled a breath of turbid air, his cloudy eyes flashing with a sharp light.
After much deliberation, he decided that if Ishikawa couldn't independently build the Ishikawa Squad within six months, it would be better for him to develop his career in the Anbu than to join another squad where he would be stuck in a limbo.
With Ishikawa's talent, he could definitely rise to prominence quickly there!
“Anbu…” A trace of reminiscence flashed in Kakashi’s eyes as he thought of his junior, Tenzo, who had succeeded him as the captain of the Anbu.
If he's from the Anbu, he can rest assured with Wood Release: Tenzo protecting him.
However, while the Anbu (secret branch) provides valuable training, the place is still too dark. Therefore, we can only try to train that guy as much as possible…
