Jin really wasn't bragging.
He truly didn't care about the Flying Thunder God Technique anymore.
If Master Roshi hadn't joined the group, and before mastering higher-level abilities, he might have indeed used the Flying Thunder God Technique as a transitional skill.
But now, he had already fully mastered the operation of [Ki].
Who knows, Goku might join the group soon.
'Why would I need your Flying Thunder God Technique?'
'Your teleportation requires throwing a kunai first.'
'Wouldn't my future Instant Transmission solve everything?'
It's no exaggeration to say-
If Jin had administrator or group owner's privileges, he would have kicked Tobirama out already.
After all, this guy had no more use value to him.
Tobirama was furious.
He never expected that his treasured Flying Thunder God Technique would be criticized by this kid as worthless.
Meanwhile, Izuna laughed like a pig on the side.
[Hashirama: @Jin, Jin-kun, can you help talk to that young man named Hatake Sakumo? I can give you my Sage Mode Training Method and Wood Release.]
'Oh?'
Jin's eyes lit up.
It had to be known that-
Since the battle with Hanzo, Jin had never used his Mangekyo again.
Simply because the burden was too heavy.
But with Hashirama's abilities, he wouldn't need to worry about that problem at all.
Why is it that with the same Mangekyo Sharingan's Dojutsu, Kamui-
Kakashi would be exhausted after one use, while Obito could use it as casually as throwing kunai without fear of going blind?
It's because Obito had Hashirama's cells!
[Tobirama: Big brother! This isn't appropriate!]
Tobirama said anxiously.
In his opinion, his big brother's abilities were so powerful.
Even if he were to give them away, he should set a more difficult task for Jin.
Like stopping Madara's schemes, or protecting Konoha Village, etc.
But now, merely persuading Sakumo, and giving him the two trump cards of Sage Mode training and Wood Release-
Tobirama felt it was far too cheap.
[Hashirama: Tobirama, I don't want such a promising young man to die because of Hiruzen's selfish desires.]
Hashirama's tone was extremely firm.
Although Sakumo was a bit fragile-hearted, over this period, through Jin's live broadcast-
Hashirama saw that Sakumo was an excellent Ninja who wholeheartedly dedicated himself to Konoha and was willing to go through fire and water for his comrades.
If he had been born when Hashirama was alive-
Hashirama probably would have chosen him as the Third Hokage instead of Hiruzen.
His only flaw might be his fragile heart.
But that's unimportant.
Most importantly, with Hashirama's virgin mary personality, he couldn't bear to watch Sakumo die due to Hiruzen's persecution.
And he felt partly responsible himself.
If, when he was alive, he had taught Hiruzen and the others not to be overly greedy for power, perhaps they wouldn't have become like this.
[Tobirama: Big brother...]
[Jin: I can try to persuade him, but I can't guarantee success. If you can accept that, then issue the mission.]
To be honest, Hashirama's mission request was tricky.
After all, the initiative lay with Sakumo himself.
Even if Jin persuaded him not to commit suicide today, what if tomorrow, Konoha's villagers criticized him again, and he wanted to kill himself again?
He couldn't possibly play nanny and give Sakumo psychological counseling every day, could he?
[Hashirama: Hmm, that's acceptable.]
[Tobirama: No! Big brother, this is way too simple!]
If not for lacking a body, Tobirama would have wanted to punch his older brother.
'Just persuading him is enough, success or failure doesn't matter.'
'Isn't this just giving it away for free?!'
But it was too late, as Hashirama had already issued the group mission:
[Ding! Group member, Senju Hashirama, has issued a commission task: Persuade White Fang.]
[Task Content: Group member Jin must persuade Hatake Sakumo to abandon his suicidal thoughts (Regardless of success or failure, as long as an attempt is made, the reward will be given.)]
[Mission Reward: Sage Mode Training Method + Wood Release]
'Holy crap, Susanoo cloaked Buddha acquired!'
Though Jin felt Susanoo cloaked Tailed Beast was cooler.
After accepting the group's commission, Jin, who was originally having dinner with Konan and Mito, put down his chopsticks and said:
"Konan, Grandma Mito, I just remembered I have something to do. I need to go out for a bit."
Before Konan and Mito could ask what it was, Jin had already disappeared from the living room.
...
On Konoha's streets.
"Bastard Kakashi! Come and fight me!"
"Don't bother me. Dad said he'd teach me Kenjutsu today, so I have no time for you."
Just as Jin arrived at the Hatake Residence's entrance, he happened to see two little kids, about three or four years old, roughhousing.
One wore goggles, looking unconvinced, while the other had droopy dead-fish eyes, a mask covering the lower half of his face, and gray-white silver hair reminiscent of the man with the deathly look he encountered this afternoon.
"Hmph! Just you wait! I'll definitely surpass you in the entrance exam!"
Finally, the goggled kid turned and left angrily.
"With you, dead last?"
The masked white-haired kid mocked, then walked to the front door, taking out his keys to open it.
"Wait, I'm coming in too."
Seeing this, Jin stepped forward and greeted.
Hearing this, Kakashi turned around, his expression freezing.
"You, you are... the Flame Emperor?"
Just like Sakumo's [White Fang], and Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru's [Sannin].
In this Great Ninja War, Jin and Minato also earned their own titles.
Minato's title was the same as in the original work, Konoha's [Yellow Flash].
While Jin was the [Flame Emperor].
Though he didn't think much of it.
"Hmm, it's our first time meeting. I'm here to see your dad. Open the door."
Jin signaled Kakashi to hurry up and open the door.
"Oh, oh..."
Perhaps it was his first time meeting such a big shot.
The future Copy Ninja, who is not yet four years old, seemed a bit nervous.
It took him several tries with the key to finally open the door.
"Dad, I'm home..."
The two entered, then Kakashi turned on the light while calling inside.
Then, as they entered the living room-
They happened to see Hatake kneeling on both knees, holding his short blade that had slain countless enemies, pressed against his abdomen.
Just as Jin and Kakashi stepped into the living room, he stabbed down with force.
"No!!! Dad!!!!!"
Kakashi screamed hoarsely.
And Jin also widened his eyes in shock.
'Wait wait, what's the hurry!?'
'Are you really in such a hurry to be reincarnated?'
(T/N: The reason Sakumo died much faster in the original work is because of Jin. If there's no Jin, the Second Kazekage wouldn't have been seriously injured and Hiruzen wouldn't have order them to complete the ultra S-Rank mission.)
