Kirito felt at this moment that he really wanted to have a debate with Minato Namikaze.
The topic of the debate would be whether Ninja should have integrity.
However, the words were on the tip of his tongue, but Kirito still didn't say them.
Thinking about it, these 48 Ninjutsu should be about 60% of the Ninjutsu Minato Namikaze had mastered.
The total number of Ninjutsu in the entire Ninja World might be in the tens of thousands, and various strange Ninjutsu were countless.
However, no matter what Ninjutsu it was, Ninja needed to spend time cultivating it.
Minato Namikaze was indeed a genius, but he was only 20 years old now.
To stand out among his peers and become a Kage-level expert, he must have put a lot of effort into cultivating high-difficulty Ninjutsu.
Carefully calculating, the Ninjutsu Minato Namikaze currently possessed might be around 80 types.
The Ninjutsu recorded in the notebook, such as Substitution Jutsu and Clone Jutsu, totaled 14 D-rank Ninjutsu.
There were a total of 22 C-rank Ninjutsu.
There were 12 B-rank Ninjutsu.
For example, Water Release's Water Prison Jutsu and Water Dragon Bullet Technique.
Earth Release's Earth Release: Hidden in Rock Jutsu, Earth Flow River, and Earth Dragon Bullet.
Fire Release's Phoenix Flower Jutsu and Great Fire Annihilation.
These were all things Kumogakure didn't have.
Mastering all these Ninjutsu would definitely bring his Chakra volume to a new level.
At the same time, the increase in Five Elements Dao Arts should also be very considerable.
"Brother Minato, thank you very much."
"Let's part ways here."
He gently stroked the notebook with his finger, his peripheral vision seemingly casually scanning, but every inch was checked very carefully.
There were no Chakra fluctuations or strange patterns on the notebook.
After confirming there was no Flying Thunder God mark, Kirito bid farewell to Minato Namikaze and turned to leave.
However, Minato Namikaze on the opposite side called out to him.
"Kirito, may I ask you a question?"
Kirito stopped turning and looked at Minato Namikaze with slight confusion. "Lord Minato, what do you wish to ask me?"
Minato Namikaze once again carefully scrutinized Kirito from top to bottom. The question he wanted to ask was not profound, but merely a doubt that had been bothering him. "Are you really just a Genin from Kumogakure?"
Minato Namikaze had seen many Cloud Ninja, but it was his first time seeing someone like Kirito.
The secret techniques he cultivated, the Ninja tools he used, combined with his identity, gave Minato Namikaze a strong sense of déjà vu.
Kirito pointed to the vest on his body and smiled at Minato.
"Lord Minato, you don't need to be so suspicious. I'm just an ordinary person who wants to survive in this chaotic world. If I could, I wouldn't want to participate in these wars."
Kirito's candid smile made Minato Namikaze pause.
Perhaps Minato Namikaze would still doubt the truth of Kirito's words, but one thing was certain.
"Kirito, you are ultimately not an ordinary Ninja of this world. War always brings pain to the Ninja World, and yet, for our Village, for our country, we can only step onto this battlefield and become killing machines…"
"Gradually, this has evolved into a kind of destiny for us Ninja. Although we bear a mission, no matter how difficult the road ahead, we must strive forward. Although we have always done so, have you ever thought that one day this situation will ultimately change?"
Minato Namikaze's question had depth, even elevating to the level of war and peace, and even changing the world. However, this seemed to be a common problem in this world.
Everyone was searching for true peace, trying to change the entire Ninja World, but perhaps because the timing was inappropriate, or perhaps because the methods were inappropriate, no one succeeded.
Perhaps there was hope to change the entire Ninja World at the moment the Senju of the Forest and Uchiha allied.
However, due to the limitations of the Ninja World, they ultimately couldn't reach the final step.
This also led to the reason why, since the establishment of the Five Great Ninja Villages, a Ninja World War breaks out every ten to twenty years.
Although those Ninja ancestors ultimately failed to achieve true peace, every successor in the Ninja World has been making unremitting efforts, one after another, and the Minato Namikaze before him was no different.
Regarding Minato Namikaze's question, Kirito smiled casually and gave his answer. "Perhaps it will in the future, but my strength is not enough. I just want to live peacefully right now. This question can wait."
After saying this, Kirito activated Earth Release, leaving only his back for Minato Namikaze to see.
Watching Kirito disappear into the distance, Minato Namikaze had no intention of chasing after him.
He just pondered for a long time at the place where he left.
"He really isn't an ordinary person…"
This was Minato Namikaze's final conclusion, but if he had to say what kind of person Kirito was exactly, Minato Namikaze couldn't accurately describe it.
However, Minato Namikaze also knew that this young man before him might become a strong expert of Kumogakure in the future, or even an enemy of Konoha.
Minato Namikaze really wanted to leave a message for Kirito.
"I hope that the next time we meet, we will both be in the capacity of Kage of our respective Villages."
However, Kirito obviously couldn't hear this sentence.
"Never mind, he is indeed a strange person, but he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions. If one day he is determined to be an enemy of Konoha, I will keep him outside Konoha's gates."
Minato Namikaze took a deep breath.
After being out for so long, he had re-adapted to the external environment. With a flash, Minato Namikaze also disappeared from the open space.
Kirito, riding his Earth Release, quickly traversed the jungle, the surrounding trees rapidly receding behind him.
Although he had only cultivated for a few days based on the Genin level, in these few days, Kirito's Chakra had advanced by leaps and bounds.
His Ninja physique was also more than ten times stronger than before, even…
After several hours of rushing, Kirito would not feel the slightest fatigue.
Three hours later, Kirito finally found the place he needed.
He stopped and looked around; it was a valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.
The excellent geographical advantage made it difficult for others to ambush him here.
The lush trees around were natural cover.
Cultivating here was uniquely advantageous, and no one would disturb him.
He took out the notebook, checked it again out of caution, and after confirming there were no problems, he opened it and began to study the Ninjutsu on each page.
First were the D-rank Ninjutsu, the Three Basic Jutsu.
Kirito had already learned Transformation Jutsu and Substitution Jutsu, leaving only Clone Jutsu.
Clone Jutsu was different from Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu; it was a very simple Ninjutsu. As before, it took Kirito less than five minutes to grasp the essentials.
Immediately after, he began to cultivate the subsequent Ninjutsu.
In two hours, Kirito had learned all the D-rank Ninjutsu.
However, this time when he looked at his Five Elements Countdown attribute panel, the attribute values hadn't increased much.
At least, it wasn't as significant as the first time he cultivated D-rank Ninjutsu.
This point was actually easy to understand.
It was a process from 0 to 1, and then from 1 to 10.
The first time he activated the energy produced by 120 trillion cells in his body, converging it into his initial Chakra.
This basic amount wouldn't be much, but it certainly wouldn't be small.
However, to continue increasing his Chakra volume later, he had to undertake higher-level cultivation. If he always cultivated D-rank Ninjutsu, the increase in Chakra would be negligible.
