Chapitre 70: CHAPTER 70
---
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood in his study, surrounded by stacks of scrolls and freshly inked manuals.
The last week had been an intense period of experimentation and refinement, culminating in the creation of ground breaking training programs and techniques.
The Six Styles, a comprehensive system of combat arts, were now complete and simplified to accommodate the ninja academy requirements.
Though his personal strength had grown immeasurably with the creation of multiple Kekkei Genkai, Hiruzen's focus had shifted to something far more critical: empowering the next generation.
His four disciples—Tsunade Senju, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Sakumo Hatake—were the keys to his vision. Their potential was limitless, and he intended to guide them to heights no shinobi had ever reached.
---
The morning sun filtered through the leaves of the Hokage Mountain training ground, casting dappled light across the clearing.
Hiruzen had summoned his disciples, each of whom arrived promptly, their expressions ranging from curiosity to excitement.
Tsunade was the first to step forward, her arms crossed and her expression skeptical.
"Sensei, what's this about? You've been locked away for a week. Don't tell me you've been cooking up another one of your 'grand plans.'"
Jiraiya grinned, scratching the back of his head. "Come on, Tsunade. You know Sensei never does anything halfway. It's gotta be something big."
Orochimaru stood silently, his golden eyes sharp and calculating. Sakumo Hatake, the quietest of the group, simply nodded, his gaze steady.
Hiruzen smiled, his eyes gleaming with purpose. "I've been working on something that will redefine what it means to be a shinobi. Today, I will introduce you to a training program that will elevate you from jonin-level combatants to true kage-level warriors. The foundation of this program is a system I've named the Six Styles."
He held up four scrolls, each emblazoned with intricate seals. "These manuals contain the principles and techniques of the Six Styles. They focus on enhancing physical prowess and adaptability in combat. This is more than just taijutsu—it's a complete art that surpass even the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist."

Hiruzen handed the scrolls to each of his students, their eyes widening as they scanned the contents.
"Sensei," Tsunade said, raising an eyebrow, "this... this is revolutionary. The coordination between body and chakra flow in these techniques is almost perfect. Did you create all of this on your own?"
Hiruzen nodded. "Indeed. The Six Styles are designed to give any shinobi an edge, regardless of their natural abilities or Kekkei Genkai. By mastering it your strength will reach superhuman level."
He continued "But this is just the beginning. I've also started implementing this system in the academy curriculum. The future generation will be raised on this foundation."
Jiraiya whistled, his expression a mix of admiration and disbelief. "So, you're not just training us—you're planning to change the entire shinobi world."
"That's precisely the point," Hiruzen replied. He turned to Tsunade, handing her an additional scroll.
"Tsunade, this is for you. It contains the principles of Mud Release, a Kekkei Genkai I've developed. It's a blend of Earth and Water elements, distinct from Wood Release but equally potent. With your control and battlefield awareness, this will allow you to dominate any terrain."
Tsunade took the scroll, her skepticism replaced by curiosity.
Hiruzen then turned to Jiraiya. "As for you, Jiraiya, I haven't completed your Kekkei Genkai—Scorch Release—yet. However, I will teach you a summoning jutsu that will greatly enhance your combat versatility."
Jiraiya's grin widened. "Summoning jutsu? Now you're speaking my language!"
Hiruzen moved to Orochimaru, who watched him intently. "Orochimaru, your training will also focus on summoning techniques. But your path will require further refinement. Your potential lies in adaptability and innovation."
Finally, Hiruzen turned to Sakumo.
"Sakumo, your path is unique. Without a natural Kekkei Genkai, you must first master the remaining chakra natures. Only then can you unlock your potential."
"However, I have a gift for you—a manual on Black Lightning techniques. After you redeem the Lightning Chakra Mode. These will enhance your speed and destructive power."
Sakumo bowed deeply. "Thank you, Sensei. I won't disappoint you."
Hiruzen gave them all an encouraging smile. "Remember, the Six Styles are your foundation. Master them, and you will transcend your limits. Dismissed."

Over the next few weeks, Hiruzen worked tirelessly to introduce the Six Styles into the academy's curriculum.
The training manuals were simplified for young students, and instructors were given detailed guidelines on teaching the techniques by ANBU.
The results were immediate. Students began demonstrating rapid improvements in their taijutsu and chakra control.
Word of the new system spread quickly, and soon, a wave of excitement swept through the village.
The turning point came when a young academy student successfully mastered one of the Six Styles' techniques—Soru, a high-speed movement technique that left afterimages in its wake.
During a demonstration at the training grounds, the sheer speed and power of the move left spectators in awe.
"Did you see that?" one onlooker exclaimed. "That's comparable to the Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist!"
Another nodded. "The Hokage's vision is truly revolutionary. The Six Styles could change everything."
---
In the grand hall of the Hyuga clan's main estate, tension hung heavy in the air.
Hisashi Hyuga, the head of the clan, sat at the head of the table, his expression stoic but his mind troubled.
Around him were the clan's elders, their faces marked with disapproval.
"The Six Styles," one elder began, his voice laced with irritation, "are nothing but a scheme by the Hokage to undermine our clan's Gentle Fist. He seeks to replace our legacy with this... this imitation."
Another elder nodded. "The Gentle Fist has been the pride of the Hyuga for generations. The Hokage's actions threaten to diminish our standing in the village."
Hisashi raised a hand, silencing the room.
"The Hokage has always acted in the best interests of the village. However, the introduction of the Six Styles does raise questions. We cannot ignore the possibility that it may overshadow our taijutsu techniques."
One of the younger elders leaned forward, his eyes sharp.
"Perhaps we should challenge the Hokage's students. Let the Six Styles face the Gentle Fist in open combat. That will determine which is superior."
The room buzzed with murmurs of agreement, but Hisashi remained silent, his gaze distant. Hiruzen Sarutobi is not a man who acts without purpose. What are you truly planning, Hokage?
---
Meanwhile, in his office, Hiruzen pondered the next steps of his plan. The success of the Six Styles had exceeded his expectations, but he knew it was only the beginning.
He leaned back in his chair, his eyes narrowing as he considered the implications of teaching advanced techniques to the clans.
"The Senju will benefit greatly from the bloodline seal I've developed," he murmured.
"But the Uchiha... that's a risk I cannot take. Madara's bloodline is too volatile, as he is still alive. For now, I will focus on the Senju and observe the Uchiha's reactions."
His gaze shifted to the scrolls on his desk. "The Hyuga clan's Gentle Fist will remain untouched for now. They need time to adapt to the changes sweeping through the village."
As he lit his pipe and took a long draw, Hiruzen's thoughts turned to the future.
The village is evolving. If I must endure the ire of the clans to ensure its survival, so be it. The Will of Fire burns brighter than ever.
The night deepened, and Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to work, his vision for the Hidden Leaf shaping the destiny of generations to come.
