This little secret skill comes from the Konoha noble ninja clan – the Akimichi Clan of 'Ino, Shika, Cho'.
Most of their family members are round and huge, famous in the ninja world for their secret skills of controlling fat and limb expansion. They have a very special tradition in how to get energy from food.
Of course, this special thing is relative. In Orochimaru's view, it's just another Yang Release Ninjutsu that works on the body.
The reason why it is regarded as a secret skill by the Akimichi Clan lies in the threshold for learning it.
Putting aside the Yang Release talent for the moment, ordinary ninjas simply don't have enough money to satisfy this strong appetite and build up enough fat.
It's not quite right to say fat. The word 'energy', which is used to describe the body's energy, may be more suitable.
The one given to Fugaku is naturally not the complete version. Orochimaru didn't want Uchiha Itachi to change his path and become a 'Human Tank'.
This is a modified version, or rather, a reduced and abbreviated version, so that ordinary ninjas can also use this little secret skill.
Whether it is to increase daily training time, or to replenish a lot of energy after injury and speed up injury recovery... in theory, it can have a good effect.
In order to improve the average quality of Konoha's cannon fodder, Orochimaru plans to develop more of this type of Ninjutsu in his free time in the future.
Teaching it to Uchiha Itachi to improve his physique is also for the purpose of a trial run.
After confirming the effect on Itachi, Orochimaru will strengthen or delete a copy according to the specific situation, and then test it on Red Bean.
Compared to a genius like Uchiha Itachi, the one for Red Bean is the final version that is suitable for the general public.
"I will urge Itachi to learn this Ninjutsu well."
Compared to the careless Orochimaru, Fugaku's attitude was much more serious. Obviously, he misunderstood something and regarded this scroll as a trial or a threshold.
Orochimaru nodded slightly and turned his attention to the training ground.
Not long after, Itachi and Shisui ended their sparring session and came out of the training ground one after another.
"Father, Teacher Orochimaru." Itachi bowed properly.
Orochimaru nodded in response, "I heard that you graduated from the ninja school early and then joined a ninja team. Perform well."
Saying that, he turned to look at Shisui, "Come with me."
"Me?" Shisui was a little surprised. He thought Orochimaru was here to find his disciple, but he didn't expect his target to be him.
But he reacted quickly and nodded quickly, "Yes, Orochimaru-sama."
Whoosh whoosh...
Two sounds of rushing wind sounded one after another, and the two disappeared in an instant.
…
Hokage's room.
"You don't come unless you have something important."
The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen held his pipe and exhaled a puff of smoke, "Orochimaru, what are you here for?"
"Hehe, in the old man's eyes, is that what I am like…"
Orochimaru clicked his tongue and chuckled, "That's not entirely wrong."
He took out a stack of documents from the scroll and placed them on the Third Hokage's desk.
It has been more than half a month since the peace talks with Kumogakure and returning to the village. During this time, the large-scale 'physical examination' conducted by Konoha Central Hospital under the command of Tsunade has also come to an end.
Orochimaru received the ninja information that met the screening conditions yesterday, but the problem is that the number of these people is not only a lot, but too many, as many as hundreds of people.
It would obviously be a waste of time to summon them one by one and then teach them the 'Spiritual Transformation Technique'.
However, it is not possible to mobilize ninjas on such a large scale without informing the Hokage in advance.
Orochimaru is not an Uchiha who would think that a gathering of this level can be hidden from others, nor does he want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
"You are gathering so many ninjas just to research Ninjutsu?"
The Third Hokage casually glanced at the form, frowned slightly, and looked at Orochimaru with a suspicious look on his face.
He didn't think that Orochimaru was plotting a rebellion, but at the same time, he didn't think that this matter was as simple as it was said.
"Of course, it's not just that."
Orochimaru smiled, his lips twitching into a curve,
"Before, you asked me to be a teacher at the ninja school, but I refused, and you didn't agree to ask for people from Anbu."
"But thinking about it again, there is actually room for compromise in this."
Saying that, he took out a form from the bottom of that stack of documents and placed it in front of the Third Hokage.
"This is a summary of ninja information, only listing their current status in the village."
The Third Hokage scanned it up and down, his eyes slightly condensed.
Among them, civilian ninjas and family ninjas are roughly in a ratio of six to four. Apart from a small number of ninjas who have become Anbu, most of them belong to the family line or civilian ninja teams.
Old man, you are unwilling to send people from Anbu, but now I am asking them from the major ninja clans, there is nothing wrong with that, right?"
Orochimaru licked his lips, and seeing the Third Hokage not saying a word, he knew the concerns in his heart, and added,
"The purpose of me doing this is not only to improve their combat power, but the key is to detail the growth direction of Chunin and Jonin in this process."
"What do you mean by that?" The Third Hokage took a puff of his pipe, puzzled.
Orochimaru smiled slightly, "Simply put, it is to expand the coverage of the ninja school upward by several levels."
The ninja school was founded by the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama. In addition to literacy, writing, and math, it focuses more on ideological education, Chakra extraction techniques, taijutsu, and wild survival knowledge.
Ninjutsu, generally speaking, mainly focuses on the simplest 'Three Body Technique'.
Ninjas enter school at the age of six, and by the age of eleven or twelve they pass the exam and get the title of 'Genin'. The education they receive is quite comprehensive.
But after that, it can only be described as not that good.
Not all Genin teams will have Jonin teachers to lead them, and not all Jonin teachers know a little bit about all five elements of Ninjutsu, taijutsu, genjutsu, medical Ninjutsu… or even eye techniques, and are suitable for all Genin.
Even someone like Guy, who can become a Jonin teacher in the future, unless he meets a disciple who is completely compatible with him, what can he teach Genin? Mission experience?
What's more, most of the team teachers of Genin teams are just Chunin, and if they are lucky, they may be able to get a Special Jonin with a special skill.
This teacher-student model is very inefficient.
Family ninjas with inheritance can still receive education from outside the team ninja, but ordinary ninjas are not so lucky.
In the past, Orochimaru didn't care about this. His teacher when he was young was the Third Hokage, so there was no such problem at all.
But after this physical examination and widespread search, he discovered that maybe Konoha doesn't really lack good cannon fodder seedlings, but they don't have the soil to grow, and their talents are wasted.
Therefore, taking this opportunity to find ninjas for the 'Spiritual Transformation Technique', he plans to create a platform that can allow ordinary ninjas to grow more efficiently.
