Naruto: Assassinating Minato Namikaze at the Start

Chapter 5 Building the Combat System

Sage and Minato Namikaze walked side by side on the streets of Konoha, the lights of the shops shining through the doors and windows onto the street.

Three people walked towards us.

It seemed that Fugaku Uchiha was waiting for Minato on purpose.

"Minato-kun, thank you very much for your understanding. Please come in and have a chat."

Unbeknownst to them, the two had already arrived near the Uchiha camp.

"It's too late today, so I won't bother you. I'll visit Chief Fugaku tomorrow morning without fail."

Having received the answer he wanted, Fugaku stopped pressuring the matter.

"Very well, I will certainly welcome Minato-kun to visit tomorrow."

After bowing politely, Fugaku turned his gaze to the boy beside Minato.

"Uchiha Sage, from now on you have no further connection with the Uchiha clan. I hope you will take care of yourself."

Please call me Mo Jingxian.

The boy curled his lip, showing great disdain for hypocritical preaching.

"Chief Fugaku, please don't call me by the wrong name again next time. It's very impolite."

He took the opportunity to regain his name from his previous life, and decided that he didn't need the Uchiha surname anymore.

Everyone knew perfectly well that he was just a scapegoat, but no one expected the boy to make such a decisive choice.

"How dare you!"

The guards behind Fugaku spoke up angrily, their eyes clearly hostile towards Sen.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"I've always been very brave, as Brother Minato can attest."

Mo Jingxian confronted him fearlessly, squinting and frequently glancing at his opponent's vital points.

Fugaku waved his hand in time to stop him.

"Step back!"

"Yes" x2

The minor incident came to an abrupt end. Fugaku nodded to Minato and turned to leave swiftly.

Not bad, I gained two more reputation points. I'm not complaining about how little I have.

The two walked through the long street and arrived near Shuimen's house.

The street was lined with two-story wooden houses, mostly inhabited by ninjas.

Shuimen pointed to a detached house: "What do you think?"

"Good."

Speaking of which, since Xian was expelled from the clan, his original house should rightfully be taken back.

For a period of time recently, Xian became a homeless vagrant.

Fortunately, Minato gave him a detached house, well... it can't really be called a gift.

According to Minato, he should rightfully receive a share of the compensation from Fugaku, and Senichi received a 10% stake in both mines.

Consider this house as an advance dividend.

A 10% share of the profits would bring him 2.5 million taels of silver annually, equivalent to the income from two S-level missions.

From then on, he was bound to the Watergate chariot.

Immortal was not opposed to this; one needs connections to survive in the world.

After parting ways with the water gate, Xian used the key to open the door.

It's alright, all the necessities are provided, you can move in with just your bags.

Before he knew it, his fondness for Minato had increased even more.

After entering the house, Mo Jingxian did not rush to inspect the house. She put her backpack next to the chair and sat down quietly.

Moonlight streamed through the window and fell onto the floor. Several forsythia bushes sat on the windowsill, swaying in the evening breeze.

He reviewed the sequence of events and considered his next move.

The crisis is not over yet. Although he has escaped the quagmire of the Uchiha clan, he is now caught in the battle between the two sides.

One wrong step could lead to a fatal crisis.

Fortunately, he finally managed to get in touch with Minato Namikaze.

One party took the initiative to seek refuge, and the other was willing to win them over; the two sides hit it off immediately.

With Minato's endorsement, it's likely that the Eighth Hokage and Danzo won't go too far; they'll still have to give Minato face.

Now that Mo Jingxian has been branded with Minato's name, she can be considered to be on the side of the Hokage faction.

Therefore, anyone who wants to harm themselves should first consider their stance.

He bought himself a year before the third war.

What we lack most right now is time. Once we grow and mature, then... the problem will no longer be a problem.

Ultimately, strength is the key.

After sorting out the details, Xian got up and packed her belongings.

Before setting off, he packed his important belongings and brought them with him.

I opened the package and took out each item, placing them one by one on the table.

Three scrolls, a ninja sword, some miscellaneous ninja tools, a complete set of carving tools, and 30,000 taels of cash.

This is all of Mo Jingxian's possessions now.

It's a pity I couldn't take my wood carvings with me.

He remembered this grudge, and one day, he would make sure that old man from the eighth generation personally delivered it to him.

He needs to readjust to the change in identity, the reshuffling of the power system, and the complex relationships.

the next day.

Having only slept for four hours, Mo Jingxian got up early and rushed out to buy supplies.

It took most of the day for his new home to finally look somewhat presentable.

As the sun began to set, he timed it perfectly and knocked on the door of the Minato family with a gift.

Kushina opened the door and was taken aback when she saw him.

"How come it's you!"

"I'm looking for Brother Minato, is he here?"

Xian raised her hand, gesturing to the cake in her hand.

"You're smart, come in."

Kushina led Sen into the house; her carefree personality wasn't unpleasant.

"The fairy has arrived, just in time for dinner. Please sit down and wait a while, and try my cooking."

Shuimen emerged from the kitchen wearing an apron, looking every bit the perfect family man.

"Then I'm in for a treat! I'll have to try Brother Minato's cooking today."

"Such a young age, yet so glib-tongued."

Kushina gave Sen a fair assessment and casually opened the cake box.

"Why isn't it a strawberry cake? Remember to buy strawberry next time."

"Um, well... I'll be more careful next time."

Minato Namikaze gave him an apologetic look, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

"Kid, tell me, why do you want to learn sealing techniques?"

Kushina has always been like this; she speaks her mind directly.

Xian touched his nose and confessed the truth.

"I feel that sealing techniques and ninjutsu are not part of the same system, so I want to study them. Maybe it's just because I'm a hobby."

He wasn't lying; he had this feeling when he watched Naruto clips in his previous life.

The sealing technique that seals the heavens and the earth doesn't look like a ninjutsu at all; it can be said to be a system of its own.

"Any hobbies?"

Kushina muttered to herself, lost in thought for a moment, and suddenly lost interest in speaking.

Minato's cooking skills are excellent, and Sen successfully got a sumptuous dinner.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Minato took the initiative to ask.

"Speak, what do you want from me?"

Mo Jingxian had indeed come here to ask for a favor, so he didn't hide it.

"Brother Minato, what do you think of my Water Ram Technique?"

"It's a very interesting technique, and I would rate it as excellent."

"What kind of ninjutsu can I get in exchange if I hand it over voluntarily?"

Minato was not surprised and calmly replied:

"It's not difficult to get your technique rated A-rank. As for exchanging it... according to the rules, you can exchange it for the same A-rank ninjutsu."

"I possess water, earth, and wind chakra. Brother Minato, which ninjutsu do you think I should exchange for to be of the greatest help to me?"

Sen posed the question to Minato, who thought for a moment and then gave an answer.

"Water Instantaneous Movement Technique, Water Substitution Technique, and Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, I suppose."

Perhaps sensing Sen's confusion, Minato then offered his own insights.

"The Body Flicker Technique goes without saying, and the Water Substitution Technique is more suitable for your combat system. As for the Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, that's a ninjutsu that increases your attack power. Its characteristics are low consumption and high destructive power. As for the difficulty of learning it, I don't think it will be too difficult for you."

The elite Jonin's insight is indeed unique; those three ninjutsu are indeed the weaknesses that Sage currently needs to address.

Combined with the information about the Hokage that Sen knew, he knew that Minato had not lied to him.

The Water Instantaneous Body Technique and the Water Substitution Technique are the signature techniques of Hanzo the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure.

Whether a ninjutsu is powerful depends on the user's understanding of it, such as Madara's Great Fire Annihilation.

The Wind Release: Vacuum Blade is the state that Asuma used to explain Wind Release to Naruto in the future, where he used chakra nature transformation to attach weapons and increase their cutting power.

It must be said that Konoha's collection of ninjutsu is unparalleled in the entire ninja world, so it is only natural that geniuses continue to emerge.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, Brother Minato."

Xian nodded in agreement and handed the Water Mang Technique scroll, which he had prepared beforehand, to Minato.

After chatting for a while, he took the initiative to say goodbye.

Just as Mo Jingxian was about to leave, Kushina called out to him and suddenly threw him a scroll.

"Kid, if you can't learn it within a year, don't ever say you're interested in sealing techniques again!"

Without giving him a chance to thank her, Kushina returned upstairs after doing all this.

Mo Jingxian took the scroll, on which five characters were engraved.

"Five Elements Sealing Technique"

Touching the delicate texture of the paper, a feeling of gratitude welled up in his heart.

He bowed deeply, remembering this favor and vowing to repay it in the future.

three days later.

Minato handed over three ninjutsu scrolls to Mo Jingxian, and from then on, his combat system was established.

For the past three days, he has been studying the Five Elements Sealing Technique.

As expected, this technique is fundamentally different from the current ninjutsu system.

He had a slight understanding of it through his mastery of the water element, but he couldn't use it at the moment.

"Looks like I'm really not a genius."

He temporarily set aside his study of sealing techniques and devoted all his energy to practicing new ninjutsu.

Time flies, and April has arrived in the blink of an eye.

The Ninja Academy welcomed new students once again, and Sen successfully advanced to the fifth grade.

This holiday was fulfilling. Not only did Xian's strength increase significantly, but his relationship with Minato Namikaze and Kushina also became closer.

Xian returned to the Ninja Academy and looked at the new students whose faces were full of expectation, feeling a sense of emotion.

I wonder how many people will be able to survive in this cruel ninja world in the future.

Through observation, Xian discovered that the number of ninjas active on the streets had decreased significantly in the past month.

The villagers' smiles gradually turned into tension.

Even pedestrians walking on the street are mostly in a hurry.

A storm is brewing.

The shadow of war loomed over Konoha, and that very afternoon, Sage stepped into a classroom at the Ninja Academy.

He glanced around and saw that the future Konoha elites were sitting in their seats chatting and playing around.

Might Guy, Asuma, Obito Uchiha...

As a former disgrace to the Uchiha clan, his arrival went unnoticed by anyone.

Xian went straight to the podium.

"Knock knock!"

He tapped the blackboard twice, drawing everyone's attention.

"Hello everyone!"

Everyone stared at the person standing on the podium, wondering what he intended to do.

"I have abandoned the Uchiha surname. From now on, please call me... Mo Jingxian."

No one spoke; the once noisy classroom became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"Is it not working?" Mo Jingxian was a little disappointed; the reputation panel hadn't refreshed.

After he returned to his seat, he found that his reputation had increased by 1 point.

[Reputation from Obito Uchiha +1]
