Capítulo 37: 37

Danzo opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped himself.
If possible, he hoped he could go too.
But the Third Hokage seemed to know what he wanted to say and warned him with a stern look in advance.
Danzo could only swallow what he wanted to say.
...
...
At noon, in the Nara clan territory,
Nara Shintaku had just returned home after lunch.
Suddenly, a clan member ran over and said to him, "The Third Hokage is here!"
"The Third Hokage?"
Nara Shintaku was stunned for a moment.
Not long after, the Third Hokage, accompanied by a group of Ino-Shika-Cho ninjas, appeared.
"Lord Third," Nara Shintaku greeted them and invited them into the house.
After they sat down, the Third Hokage asked with concern, "Shintaku, are you tired of studying ninjutsu recently?"
"I noticed you've been wandering around the village."
"No one has seen you continue studying or practicing."
After hearing this,
Nara Shintaku hadn't answered yet.
Others began to speak on his behalf.
"Shintaku must be too tired."
"Yes, after developing two techniques in a row, it's time for a break."
"Don't worry, Lord Third, once he's rested enough, Shintaku will continue his training."
"We will remind him."
Nara Shintaku was stunned.
These people... think he has been slacking off recently?
"I'm just asking out of curiosity," the Third Hokage waved his hand with a smile. "Shintaku, take a good rest for now. There's no rush to study ninjutsu."
"Yes, Shintaku, it's important to balance work and rest."
"Don't pressure yourself."
"If you can't figure it out, just put it aside for now and have some fun."
"You're only six years old; there's no need to rush."
The others comforted him.
Nara Shintaku was speechless.
He didn't bother to refute them and instead reached out, taking a scroll from the table next to him and handing it over.
"This is the result of my recent research."
On the table, there were dozens of identical scrolls.
"You can take a look."
Nara Shintaku handed one to each of them.
The Third Hokage and the others took the scrolls with surprise.
They opened them and were stunned.
"This is... a new ninjutsu scroll!?"
"I have Fire Release…"
"I have Lightning Release…"
"We also have Water Release, Earth Release, and Wind Release here!"
"There are also Yin Release and Yang Release techniques!"
Everyone's expression changed immediately.
From comforting him just a moment ago, they were now filled with astonishment.
The Third Hokage looked at the scroll in his hand in disbelief. It described a Fire Release ninjutsu marked as B-level. Through a sequence of hand seals, it could create a fire dragon holding a pearl.
The "pearl" was a small fireball.
The caster could use hand seals to control the fire dragon to spit out the pearl.
This was a Fire Release ninjutsu that could cover both long and short distances!
A brand-new Fire Release ninjutsu!
"Shintaku, have you been developing ninjutsu related to the seven chakra natures recently?" The Third Hokage couldn't help but ask, looking at the dozens of scrolls on the table, his expression completely changed.
It was estimated that there were at least more than sixty scrolls.
More than sixty new jutsu?
In five days, more than sixty new jutsu were developed!?
This is abnormal!!
"Yeah," Nara Shintaku nodded, confirming the Third Hokage's guess.
In order to advance his template progress, he had been in a spiritual state in recent days, developing new ninjutsu.
"Sorry, we misunderstood!"
"It turns out you've been working hard!"
"We actually suspected you were slacking off…"
"How could a genius like you stop progressing?"
The Ino-Shika-Cho members around him were ashamed.
They had thought Nara Shintaku was slacking off because he was a child who wanted to play around, unwilling to practice or study ninjutsu.
Unexpectedly, this was not the case at all.
Nara Shintaku had been working hard and had developed many new ninjutsu!
"I want to apologize to you as well, Shintaku…" The Third Hokage looked apologetic and said, "Before you applied for the Spiritualization Technique, I thought you would devote yourself to research as you had done before."
"No results, no show."
"I didn't expect you were developing new techniques."
The Third Hokage reflected on himself.
Who said that if you apply for a forbidden technique, you must practice it day and night?
Nara Shintaku knew the dangers of the Spirit Transformation Technique. It was a wise choice to take it step by step and wait until he had studied it thoroughly before starting to practice. He had made a mistake with natural energy before.
Why make the same mistake again?
"The Spirit Transformation Technique?"
"That technique is very dangerous!"
"Yes, if you're not careful, you could end up with a shattered soul."
"Even the developer, the Second Hokage, was reluctant to practice this forbidden technique."
"Change it, Shintaku."
The Ino-Shika-Cho members were shocked.
They didn't know that Nara Shintaku had applied for the Spiritualization Technique.
If they had known, they would have stopped him right away.
But now, they could only try to dissuade Nara Shintaku from practicing it.
Because the risk was too great!
"Don't worry," Nara Shintaku felt their concern and shook his head. "I am very confident in the Spirit Transformation Technique."
"The Second Hokage only dabbled in it and developed the technique by accident."
"But I've thoroughly understood its principles, and in terms of understanding, I've surpassed the Second Hokage, the developer. There's no danger in practicing it."
These words, of course, failed to convince the group.
"I believe you are confident," the Third Hokage frowned, hesitating. "But saying that you've surpassed the Second Hokage's understanding… isn't that a bit too proud?"
"Shintaku, your talent is remarkable, but the Second Hokage wasn't lacking either."
"You must remember, excessive pride is the greatest enemy of genius!"
