"Besides Chimera Technique, there are other forbidden Ninjutsu as well."
Hiruzen slapped the note in his hand. This was something he had always wondered about.
Hiruko was just an ordinary Jonin, so how could he have obtained these forbidden Ninjutsu scrolls?
Shinji didn't respond. After all, when this happened, he was still in the Academy. The specific details were not recorded. At most, it was only known that Hiruko was designated an S-rank rogue ninja.
This kind of treatment was only later given to Orochimaru.
"Alright, sensei, this has already happened, so we shouldn't dwell on it too much." Shinji waved his hand.
Although Hiruko gained four Kekkei Genkais due to Kijutsu: Chimera Technique, what did it matter?
Having more Kekkei Genkais isn't necessarily better. Although his strength greatly increased because of it, if he didn't master them thoroughly, it was still just that.
It wasn't that he was arrogant, but the truth was, if he wanted to now, he could easily combine several Kekkei Genkais.
But what then?
It would take countless hours to master them.
Shinji was more concerned about the Six-Tails.
Hiruzen nodded. He went to the office window, and looked at the scenery of Konoha.
"The Six-Tails Jinchuriki should have defected. I received news of it before."
"It's just that Kirigakure has always been isolated, so I'm not very clear on many situations."
"Now it seems Kirigakure is truly in chaos."
Shinji, on the other hand, thought of Obito. That guy's methods were truly ruthless.
"Shinji, what do you plan to do?" Hiruzen turned to Shinji.
He had to let Shinji think about how to handle this matter.
"With Itachi's message, the Akatsuki should be taking action. Even now, finding the location of the Six-Tails Jinchuriki is a difficult task."
Shinji shook his head, wanting to stop the Akatsuki from capturing the Jinchuriki.
This kind of thing was too naive. What after stopping them?
Should the Tailed Beasts be brought back to Konoha, or should they be allowed to go their own way?
If they were brought back to Konoha, Konoha would immediately become a target in the Ninja World. As for letting them go, Shinji admitted he wasn't as magnanimous as Hashirama.
"If we announce to the outside that someone is capturing Jinchuriki, not to mention whether they'll believe it, they might even suspect us instead."
After all, throughout the Ninja World, only Shinji currently had the record of defeating a Jinchuriki.
Thinking of this, Shinji had a plan and asked, "Sensei, what do you think about leaking the information to Kumogakure?"
After all, Kumogakure had two Jinchuriki, and both were perfect Jinchuriki. That alone was quite remarkable.
If they heard that someone was hunting Jinchuriki, wouldn't they be the first to react strongly?
"You mean vague intelligence?" Hiruzen stroked his beard and asked uncertainly.
"Why be vague? Although Itachi is a spy, who hasn't done such things?"
"And when it comes to Tailed Beasts, no matter how brainless Kumogakure is, they wouldn't give up such a vital piece of information."
"If Itachi can transmit intelligence, wouldn't it be even more useful to them?"
"However, one must always be wary of others."
Shinji waved his hand. It wasn't that he was ruthless. But this was a fact. Spies inherently face danger, and Itachi wasn't someone who could be easily taken down.
"I'll find an opportunity to meet Itachi and leave him a Flying Thunder God scroll, alright?"
Shinji said, thinking of the Flying Thunder God scroll. It was left by Minato, and could be activated once unsealed. The designated point was on the Hokage Rock.
If Itachi was in danger, he could return to Konoha via this scroll.
"Alright." Hiruzen nodded.
Arranging a fallback for Itachi meant that even if the Akatsuki wanted to do something later, he could return to Konoha based on the coordinates.
As for whether it would be a waste, Hiruzen weighed the Uchiha clan against the Flying Thunder God scroll in his mind.
Forget it, Fugaku could be said to have staked the entire clan. No matter what, he couldn't let him feel disheartened. Hiruzen didn't hesitate too much.
"Shisui, tell Inoichi to come over." Hiruzen turned to Shisui and said.
"Yes, Hokage-sama." Shisui nodded.
He had heard everything Shinji and Hiruzen discussed clearly.

"You brat! What are you doing here?!" Tsunade looked at Shinji in front of her with an annoyed expression and said impatiently.
Shinji glanced at Jiraiya, who was sitting obediently beside Tsunade, and his eye twitched.
"Senpai, I just want to ask you for that thing." Shinji said, while pouring water and massaging Tsunade's shoulders, making Jiraiya twitch beside him.
"Karin is still growing. Giving it to her now is useless." Tsunade closed her eyes and said.
"Hehe, senpai, you don't know about this." Shinji explained to Tsunade with a smiling expression.
Tsunade, who was initially enjoying it, pushed Shinji away in annoyance after hearing his words.
"No way, what kind of luck did you have, kid?"
"That Chakra control is simply perfect for a Medical Ninja."
Tsunade admitted she was jealous, after all, that could have been hers to take in.
Although Shizune was also good, it was limited to Medical Ninjutsu. She knew that what she possessed was more than just that. Strange Strength and Yin Seal also required these conditions, and even higher ones.
"It's fine, I don't mind my disciple having another teacher." Shinji waved his hand.
If Karin could be trained by Tsunade, it would be a good thing no matter what.
"You're dreaming big, kid."
Jiraiya, beside them, felt speechless upon hearing this.
Which renowned ninja didn't have some special skill?
"You can't take it with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. Why keep it?"
Shinji wasn't bothered by this. If Naruto and the others could learn all of his skills, he would be eager to teach them.
After all, an increase in their strength also meant that Shinji himself would also become stronger. However, this was only possible for him. In the Ninja World, generally, unless it was a true lineage disciple, they wouldn't teach.
"Alright, when Karin learns Nature Transformation, bring her over." Tsunade waved her hand in annoyance.
This thing was useless if she kept it on herself. Moreover, she really wanted to see if anyone could make her grandfather's Wood Release reappear in the world. And this person was also from the Uzumaki clan.
"No problem." Shinji nodded.
"What? You've finished talking, and you're still not leaving?" Tsunade glanced at Shinji, finding him increasingly irritating.
"I still have to chat with senpais, to foster some camaraderie, right?" Shinji's gaze moved back and forth between Jiraiya and Tsunade.
He felt like the two of them had something going on. He wanted to be the first to hear the gossip.
"Get out!" Tsunade said, about to get up, but Shinji instantly disappeared.
Jiraiya covered his cheek and looked at Tsunade, saying pitifully, "Tsunade, can I leave?"
"Leave?" Tsunade looked at Jiraiya sideways.
He thought he could just leave after taking advantage?
"Don't even think about it. Come with me. You're paying for my expenses today."
With that, Tsunade grabbed Jiraiya's ear and walked out the door.
