Hearing Tobirama say that by mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique no one would be able to catch him, Kazuki slowly shook his head. "Tobirama, are you saying that the Flying Thunder God Technique is safe?"
"It's still not safe enough. Did you forget?"
"How did the developer of that technique die? That's a story you know better than I do…"
Senju Tobirama's mouth twitched, and he muttered softly: "Who knew that those two bastards would have such a thing as the Treasured Tools of the Sage of Six Paths! And they could also enter the Jinchuriki form of the Nine-Tails version 1 and 2! I'm just a normal human being..."
Kazuki raised his eyebrows and teased: "So, you mean the surprise attack doesn't count because it was unfair?"
Senju Tobirama was about to nod.
If given another chance to face the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers, even without knowing that they would become the Jinchuriki form of the Nine-Tails, Tobirama was convinced that he would not lose.
But something seemed wrong...
"The surprise attack, in certain circumstances, can still be valuable…" Tobirama muttered, though he didn't sound very convinced.
Under the effect of the 'Power of Tobiruna', Izuna's pupil power was constantly nourished by the soul of Senju Tobirama, and as if it had heard this conversation, its energy increased as if it were joyful and showing an act of defiance...
Tobirama's expression turned grim.
If this had happened before, without hesitation, he would have forced Kazuki to accept his power and brutally suppress Uchiha Izuna.
But the problem is...
Now was a delicate moment. Kazuki said he trusted him, but was there really no trace of distrust left?
If Tobirama deliberately attacked Izuna's pupil power, it would be like following the third step of the five-step plan that Kazuki mentioned: forcing Kazuki to rely solely on his power.
Tobirama sighed. Kazuki had talked about it so much that even he, an idiot when it came to emotional matters, had memorized those five steps.
'Uchiha Izuna, I will settle this grudge with you in the future!' Senju Tobirama watched as Izuna's pupil power increased, his teeth were about to break, but he couldn't do anything...
After all, if he lost Kazuki's trust, he would fall for Uchiha Izuna's evil plan!
Tobirama will let Izuna enjoy his small triumph for now.
"Tobirama, I'm not saying that the Flying Thunder God Technique is not useful." Kazuki patted Tobirama's shoulder and said seriously: "I just think that shinobi are too fragile..."
"Just like Namikaze Minato's fighting method, he can almost defeat most shinobi in this world only through the Flying Thunder God Technique and taijutsu. The reason lies in the fragile bodies of shinobi."
"Whether it's you, Uchiha Izuna, Sarutobi Hiruzen, or a newly graduated Genin, if everyone's throat is left there for Namikaze Minato to cut, I think they will all die."
Senju Tobirama's eyes flickered, he seemed to understand what Kazuki wanted to say...
"Minato's strategy has given me a lot to think about. When two shinobi fight to the death, what can truly kill you is your weakest part. No matter how strong your ninjutsu is, your body is still just as fragile."
"Minato understood this perfectly. He used the Flying Thunder God technique to confront each enemy's most obvious weakness, allowing him to defeat even shinobi who were seemingly more complete than him."
"I must admit, he is a genius. He accurately found the weak point common to all shinobi."
Tobirama nodded in understanding. He naturally understood this.
Before Minato, he himself had already developed that kind of strategy.
"Kazuki, you can do the same too."
Tobirama began to analyze the situation for Kazuki.
"Since you have mastered the Flying Thunder God technique, with me here to guide you, I will teach you to perfect the technique and its derivatives. Furthermore, your dynamic vision, reflexes, and taijutsu are even better than that Minato's…"
"What he can do, you can only do better!"
Kazuki shook his head slowly and said softly: "The Flying Thunder God Technique is indeed powerful, but there are still problems..."
Senju Tobirama frowned. The Flying Thunder God Technique is one of the most powerful techniques he invented.
Even if Kazuki said so, Senju Tobirama didn't think there was any problem.
Kazuki said slowly: "The strength of the Flying Thunder God Technique will inevitably cause enemies to seek countermeasures. And the ease and power that the technique grants makes the user dependent on it, which could lead to negligence."
"Tobirama, tell me the truth, when you were covering for Sarutobi Hiruzen and others, did you ever think that you would not be able to come back?"
Senju Tobirama was silent.
To be honest, although at that moment it seemed like he was testing Hiruzen and Danzo's minds…
He never thought he wouldn't come back.
After all, even facing Uchiha Madara himself, Tobirama did not believe that he could be captured or killed. However, he did not expect that his defeat would come at the hands of the Kinkaku and Ginkaku brothers... A true unexpected blow.
Kazuki shook his head with emotion. "The shinobi world is a place full of monsters. Perhaps someone has developed a new secret technique, or a new kekkei genkai has appeared; perhaps a strange sealing technique has appeared, or perhaps someone has developed a powerful ninja tool..."
"But the shinobi's body is so fragile that there is not even a trace of fault tolerance."
"Sometimes I think of the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara, figures that people consider gods. Their attacks were far beyond what was necessary to kill a shinobi..." Kazuki continued. "What really made them powerful was the margin of fault tolerance they possessed, incomparable to that of any other shinobi."
"Their chakra reserves were so vast that they protected them from any genjutsu, while Wood Release and Susanoo made their defenses nearly impenetrable. It is said that the First Hokage even had a healing technique that required no seals; his wounds would regenerate instantly..."
Kazuki sighed, shook his head and said: "Although I can't compare to these two gods of the shinobi world, I can make up for my shortcomings to the best of my ability to deal with this world full of monsters and keep myself alive..."
Tobirama remained expressionless.
He wasn't sure if Kazuki could reach the level of Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama, but there was something that intrigued him: When did Kazuki develop this extremely cautious, almost paranoid character?
Tobirama sighed, slowly understanding. If he looked at things from Kazuki's perspective, everything seemed to make sense. After all, the fact that there were two chakra reincarnations and that he himself was a product of forbidden techniques was something so unusual that it would justify his growing wariness.
This boy hasn't had it easy. If he's been able to accept all that without succumbing to darkness, his mental strength is admirable.
"Susanoo and Wood Release... for now, I can't access or control them..."
Kazuki patted his chest. "But what I can do is strengthen my body. At the very least, I should be able to withstand Minato's blows and common ninjutsu."
"That way, even if I get ambushed or surrounded, I'll always have an ace up my sleeve that will take them by surprise..."
Tobirama, following Kazuki's train of thought, frowned in concern.
Fortunately, it seems that in the Uchiha clan only Kazuki has developed this cautious mindset.
Even Uchiha Izuna, who is so insidious and cunning, is so arrogant that he thinks he can crush him at will after getting the Mangekyo Sharingan and relaxes his vigilance.
So, he was given the opportunity to take advantage of!
If Izuna had been as cautious as Kazuki and devoted himself to secretly training his body, just like his Sharingan... Tobirama couldn't help but shudder at the thought.
Involuntarily, Senju Tobirama's eyes were filled with a sense of compassion.
Kazuki's enemies will not only face a terrifying genius, but also an extremely cautious being.
But after thinking about it, Senju Tobirama said seriously: "Kazuki, your idea is good, but physical training is something that few people in the shinobi world do…"
"It's not that others haven't considered it, but with the body of a shinobi, the effort, time, and talent required to train the body do not compare to the benefits of training ninjutsu."
"Only the Raikage line in Kumogakure has a special constitution that allows them to develop such techniques."
"What you need is to maintain that cautious attitude and concentrate on perfecting the techniques and skills you already possess. If you do that, you will be more than safe..."
As he spoke, Tobirama's expression became strange. With everything Kazuki had mastered now, not only would he be safe...
Anyway, Senju Tobirama felt that if he were Kazuki's enemy he would feel very insecure...
Kazuki shook his head firmly. "It's not enough, Tobirama."
"My dojutsu and ninjutsu will eventually be known to the enemies. Now I am just an unknown genin, but now that no one pays attention to me, why not keep an ace up my sleeve?"
"Don't underestimate the wisdom of other shinobi, Tobirama."
"To reflect, to be humble, and to always be on guard: these are the qualities a Konoha shinobi must have, dear Second Hokage."
Senju Tobirama snorted, but inexplicably felt that Kazuki's words made sense.
He was thinking, if Kazuki really resurrected him...
This sentence seems to be included in the textbook of the Will of Fire, which is much better than the stuff that Monkey is talking about now.
Senju Tobirama didn't realize that in a trance, Kazuki seemed to have become one of the interpreters of the will of fire.
