As he spoke, the Third Hokage retrieved a massive scroll from a secret room nearby, undid one layer of sealing, opened it, and placed it in front of Akira, gesturing toward it. "Go ahead and choose!"
"Then thank you, Grandpa Hokage! Hehe!"
When Akira heard this, he immediately stood up happily and threw himself toward the Scroll of Seals, examining the entries one by one.
"What a pity. As expected, they're all sealed! There are only the names and rough effect introductions. But that's normal too!"
Akira thought somewhat disappointedly.
After quickly scanning through it once, he said to the Third Hokage, "Then I'll choose the Multi Shadow Clone Technique! I feel like the Shadow Clone Technique is starting to be a little insufficient!"
"Once I learn this, I can split off more shadow clones to assist with cultivation! Hehe!"
As for the other Ninjutsu, the Third Hokage would not give him the Impure World Reincarnation Technique.
The same went for some dangerous Ninjutsu.
As for the rest, he did see many iconic Ninjutsu created by the Second Hokage on it.
For example, the Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags Technique, the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, Water Release: Water Severing Wave, Water Release: Hard Whirlpool Water Blade, and so on.
However, Akira felt that Tsunade should have access to those as well. He could just find a time to ask Tsunade for them.
In any case, Tsunade treated him very well.
Of course, he would not purely take advantage of Tsunade either. Toward those who were good to him, he did not mind repaying them several times over.
This time, he was prepared to teach the Lightning Body Tempering Technique to Tsunade.
It should suit her very well.
It should be able to raise her strength quite a bit.
"Oh?"
When the Third Hokage heard this, he looked at Akira with some surprise. "You actually chose this? I thought you would choose a more powerful offensive Ninjutsu."
Akira shook his head after hearing this. "I've already created quite a few offensive Ninjutsu myself, and Big Sister Tsunade has also given me some. That's enough. On the contrary, the Multi Shadow Clone Technique suits me better."
He had never lacked offensive Ninjutsu.
When the Third Hokage heard this, the corner of his eye twitched slightly.
Was this showing off?
"Fine!"
The Third Hokage nodded, undid the seal over the Multi Shadow Clone Technique, and placed it in front of Akira. "You have two hours to learn it."
"Also, regarding this Ninjutsu, there is one point I must warn you about! Don't create too many shadow clones in one go, or it may endanger your main body."
"Since you often use the Shadow Clone Technique, you should understand that everything a shadow clone senses and suffers, including fatigue, will be fed back to the main body!"
"If you overdo it, it could very likely cause your mind to collapse directly! Remember that!"
Since Akira was not interested in power, then he was a useful tool. The Third Hokage did not mind showing him more goodwill.
"I understand that!"
Akira read while nodding. "But don't worry. My chakra has grown a little quickly recently. Creating a hundred or so at once should still be something I can endure."
When the Third Hokage heard this, the corner of his eye twitched slightly. He briefly sensed Akira's chakra volume.
He was immediately shocked by the enormous chakra within Akira's body.
"This is already more than five times mine, isn't it? He really is a little monster! Is this the physique of the Senju clan? How enviable."
The Third Hokage thought this with a twitching heart.
He wanted this kind of physique too.
If he had this kind of physique and such enormous chakra, he felt that his strength would absolutely not be limited to what it was now.
One minute later, Akira finished reading the contents of the Multi Shadow Clone Technique. With the Shadow Clone Technique as a foundation, he learned it instantly and directly returned the Scroll of Seals to the Third Hokage. "Done! I've already learned it! This Ninjutsu is deeply connected to the Shadow Clone Technique, so it's quite simple."
When the Third Hokage heard this, even the hand holding his pipe trembled slightly.
What the hell do you mean simple?
Although it did have quite a connection with the Shadow Clone Technique, you learned it way too quickly.
He finally understood why Akira could create so many self-made Ninjutsu.
Such was his talent.
"Oh, right!"
At this moment, after thinking it over, the Third Hokage looked at Akira and asked, "I heard that you created an extremely powerful Lightning Release Ninjutsu called the Railgun. You relied on this move to repel Kirigakure, kill the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, and defeat Kumogakure. Is that true?"
"Yes!"
Akira nodded. Immediately, he took out a chakra coin from his chest—though it was actually from his spatial ring—and placed it in his palm. Lightning condensed directly as he began demonstrating. "Look! It's like this!"
"No, no, no! Stop right there!"
When the Third Hokage saw this, his expression changed drastically. He hurriedly raised his hand to stop him. "You can't use it here. It will destroy the entire Hokage Building and even affect the nearby villagers!"
"Relax, relax!"
Akira calmly waved his empty hand to reassure him. "I have absolute control over this technique! I can stop it at any time."
As he spoke, the spinning speed of the coin in his hand began to slow, and the energy index rapidly dropped.
The Third Hokage immediately let out a long breath of relief. He looked at Akira helplessly and said, "Even if you can control it, you still can't mess around like that!"
"However, the power of this move—even just looking at that unfinished version earlier, I can already feel how terrifying it is!"
As he spoke, the Third Hokage smiled and looked at Akira. "Are you willing to offer this Ninjutsu to the village? Of course, the village won't take it from you for nothing. You can choose another S-rank Ninjutsu from the Scroll of Seals, plus one reasonable condition. What do you think?"
Clearly, the Third Hokage had taken a liking to Akira's Lightning Release Ninjutsu.
After all, he was proficient in all five chakra natures. He felt that if he could master this Ninjutsu, wouldn't his battle power increase greatly as well?
"Oh?"
When Akira heard this, he immediately understood inwardly.
So the Third Hokage's goal was this!
An exchange did not seem impossible either.
The Railgun was not that easy to learn.
One needed to raise their control over Lightning-nature chakra transformation to a very high level. In addition, the most critical point was understanding electromagnetic theory and principles clearly, as well as possessing an extremely high degree of control over lightning.
Only then could it be done.
Otherwise, even if someone learned it, its power would be limited, and they would be unable to fully display it.
If they could learn it, then it meant they could use it to grasp electromagnetic force and, in turn, master magnetism.
The difficulty could be imagined.
After figuring this out, Akira immediately nodded. "I can do that! Then exchange it for the Spirit Transformation Technique! Also, I feel my house is a bit small and want to expand it. Can the other condition be exchanged for two thousand square meters of land?"
He did want to exchange for the Impure World Reincarnation, but the Third Hokage probably would not agree.
And Akira was not sure whether Tsunade had the Spirit Transformation Technique, so he simply exchanged for this.
He felt that this technique might be useful to him.
After all, it was a Ninjutsu involving the manifestation and separation of the soul. Its research value was not low.
"Oh?"
The Third Hokage had not expected Akira to agree directly. He had thought Akira would refuse.
At the very least, he had expected Akira to carefully consider it for a while.
As for Akira's conditions?
To the Third Hokage, those were not much at all.
He immediately nodded happily and agreed. "No problem! I agree. I'll give you the Spirit Transformation Technique now. As for the land, I'll have someone handle it later. I estimate the land deed can be given to you in three days. Is that acceptable?"
