Side Story: The Chronicles of the Naka Shrine's Sweeping Monk's Crossover 6
After Konoha's Uchiha clan grounds gained a sanitation worker named Shisui Uchiha, Hiruzen Sarutobi fell into anxiety...
The old man simply couldn't imagine, facing such a powerful Uchiha clan, how the 'him' from the other world could sit calmly in the Hokage's seat!
His heart was really big...
Shisui also didn't tell him that ever since Itachi became the Hokage candidate, the Third Hokage had been slowly sidelined. Never mind the power to rule, he didn't even have a share in participating in politics...
Later, because the Third Hokage proactively wanted to contribute his remaining years to Konoha, he caused a lot of diplomatic incidents, to the point where he lost his personal freedom...
Along with the trend of the great unification of the ninja world, some old scores had to be settled. The Konoha high council had even started a "de-Hiruzen-ization," completely trampling the reputations of Hiruzen and Danzo, the two old men who had controlled Konoha, into the dirt.
It was said that at the height of the commotion, some radical Jonin had even initiated a proposal to tear down the Third's face from the Hokage Rock and put Lord Fifth's head in the very center...
With the Third Hokage living so miserably, Danzo's outcome was predictable. That one was often dragged out to be criticized...
However, he neither admitted his mistakes nor was he honest.
One time, the Land of Lightning, based on their understanding of lightning-natured chakra, had been the first to research the high-tech "Lightning Vehicle," enjoying the limelight in the entire ninja world for a time...
Not long after, all of the Land of Lightning's research materials were stolen.
Based on the clues, the Land of Lightning traced the source of the matter to Konoha. After all, the entire Land of Fire had begun to vigorously build steel rails; there was no way to hide it...
Soon, the Konoha high council found out the truth. It turned out that Danzo had stolen the Land of Lightning's research materials, with the purpose of using the Lightning Vehicle to rake in money, and incidentally to splash dirty water on the current Fifth Hokage of Konoha!
Was this something a Konoha ninja should be doing?
Konoha's treatment of its retired high-level personnel was not bad. They didn't lack food or clothing, and from time to time, they even received pocket money. With such generous treatment, Danzo was still colluding with some unscrupulous personnel, causing the entire Konoha to be swept for spies all over again.
Even Asuma Sarutobi, the Third Hokage's son, was affected by this. If it weren't for the supreme commander of the Defense Department, Jiraiya, vouching for him, and the fact that he had once served as the Fifth Hokage's captain, it was estimated that his rank of Jonin would have been stripped from him.
There was no need for Shisui to mention these things...
In any case, those rumors were just hearsay to Shisui. As for the truth of the surging undercurrents, as the Naka Shrine was the one who had handled the materials, Shisui also knew a tiny bit of the truth...
Time passed, bit by bit.
The Konoha Chunin Exams began.
Sasuke Uchiha had once again found Shisui and asked about how to develop his Sharingan. This was because when he entered the second exam, he had been beaten black and blue by a guy named Rock Lee. Even though his Sharingan had captured his movements, his reaction speed couldn't keep up.
"Rock Lee specializes in taijutsu, just like the 'you' from the other world..."
"It's completely impossible to rely on the Sharingan to contend with him. Even if you could open the ultimate ocular jutsu of the Mangekyo, the Susanoo, you still couldn't block a punch from the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates…"
Shisui Uchiha turned his head, looked at the wounds on Sasuke's face, and proposed a feasible suggestion. "Sasuke… do you want to train in sage arts with me?"
Sasuke lowered his head, somewhat dejected. "By the time the Chunin Exams are over, I might not even be able to sense natural energy. Shisui, isn't there a particularly powerful jutsu?"
"There is…"
Shisui glanced at him and casually took out a scroll. "As far as I know, you should have a great talent for training in space-time jutsu!"
"This is…" Sasuke opened the scroll and looked up, dumbfounded. "The Flying Thunder God Technique?"
"That's right. Its speed is very fast. The Fourth Hokage of Konoha, Minato Namikaze, became famous because of it. He once used the Flying Thunder God to defeat fifty Jonin in a single battle!"
Shisui Uchiha nodded, then lowered his head and added, "The only jutsu that can surpass the speed of the Flying Thunder God is Itachi's Kekkei Mora, Yomotsu Hirasaka…"
Sasuke Uchiha: "…"
What the hell did that mean?
Was he supposed to learn it or not? Was it even useful to learn it?
Saying one thing, feeling sour about another, Sasuke certainly couldn't pass up any opportunity to become stronger. Besides learning the Flying Thunder God, he still had to learn the Lightning Release: Chidori taught by Kakashi…
In addition to that, he still needed to comprehend natural energy.
However, this time, when Sasuke was comprehending natural energy, the situation was strangely bizarre. A moment later, layers of black markings appeared on his body, and one of his arms suddenly transformed into a pitch-black crow's wing!
Shisui's heart jumped. The broom in his hand landed on Sasuke's back, expelling the natural energy from his body. He grabbed his shoulder, looked down at the curse mark symbol on Sasuke's neck, and said, "This is…"
"A rogue ninja named Orochimaru infiltrated our exam and nearly killed us. He left a curse mark on my neck…" Sasuke lowered his head. "Teacher Kakashi clearly sealed it for me. It shouldn't be a problem…"
"Heh heh…"
Shisui waved his palm. Like a gentle breeze, it blew past Sasuke's neck, eliminating the curse mark chakra on it. "As expected. Only a guy like Orochimaru would use such a low-quality Sage Transformation…"
"Low-quality?"
"Mm, in our world, there are a total of four great Sage regions…"
Shisui nodded gently, glanced at the dilapidated Naka Shrine before him, and continued in a deep voice, "Therefore, the ninjas of our world can train in four types of Sage Mode. Of course, the Crow Sage Mode that our Uchiha clan trains in is the strongest in combat, and we have the most users…"
There was no doubt about this…
The Great Sage Crow lived in the Uchiha clan grounds, and the Sage Mode was researched based on the Uchiha's constitution, so their training was twice as effective with half the effort…
Shisui continued, "In addition to that, Mount Myoboku's Toad Sage Mode is slightly inferior in combat, but the power of the sage arts released with sage chakra is very strong. Their ninja representative is one of Konoha's Sannin, Lord Jiraiya…"
"Next is Shikkotsu Forest's Slug Sage Mode. The most outstanding of them is a little girl named Karin. Her strength is very… formidable!"
As he said this, Shisui unconsciously glanced at Sasuke. When he saw that he had no reaction, he continued, "The last one is Ryuchi Cave's White Snake Sage Mode. Its combat strength is relatively poor, but its ability to escape is very strong. The only person who has mastered the White Snake Sage Mode should be a guy named Kabuto Yakushi…"
Sasuke suddenly raised his head. "Kabuto?"
"Hm? You know him?"
Shisui turned his head in confusion and looked at him, his voice turning cold. "That guy is not simple. Both his scheming and his strength far surpass others, and his reputation is not widely known. But it shouldn't be someone you should know at this time, right?"
Sasuke nodded. "But I saw him during the Chunin Exams. He wore a pair of glasses, and the smile on his face was very annoying. It's said that he has participated in the Chunin Exams several times and is still a genin. He doesn't seem to be anything special…"
"…"
Shisui's expression gradually became heavy. "According to the information I know, Kabuto has been a spy since he was a child and grew up in the Konoha Orphanage. More importantly, that guy is Orochimaru's right-hand man…"
"Besides the four types of Sage Mode I mentioned, there is also the Curse Mark Sage Transformation that Orochimaru created as a shortcut. Because the curse mark will harm a ninja's body, we have never acknowledged it as a true Sage Mode…"
Clap, clap, clap!
A figure suddenly clapped as he stepped out, a light smile on his lips. "Well said. Even in another world, Shisui is still so outstanding…"
"Hm?"
Shisui's brow furrowed. He glanced at his narrow, long eyes and pushed Sasuke behind him. "You truly live up to your name, Orochimaru…"
This guy's ability to hide is too strong!
He actually couldn't detect his presence!
Orochimaru smiled and waved his hand. "Shisui, don't be so nervous. We are not enemies, and there is no reason for us to make a move, is there?"
"Then don't make any rash moves…"
Shisui's eyes narrowed, his gaze fixed on Orochimaru. "Because I'm worried I might accidentally kill you…"
"Heh heh heh, that sounds so cold and heartless!"
Orochimaru spread his arms and licked his lips. "Don't worry, I'm here to make a deal with you…"
Originally, Orochimaru had appeared here because Danzo had proposed that he kill this Shisui from another world.
Coincidentally, Orochimaru had also taken a fancy to Sasuke's body, and Sasuke was also under Shisui's protection, so he might as well take care of this trouble, Shisui, at the same time.
However, after hearing Shisui's words about Sage Mode and the four great Sage regions, Orochimaru suddenly became interested in the other world. He was very curious about that world's stories…
What Orochimaru had never expected was…
When Shisui heard him talk about a deal, he nodded. "I accept. Ten million ryo, and I'll spare your life this time…"
Orochimaru's face instantly darkened, and his eyes narrowed. "Shisui-kun, do you have some misunderstanding about the word 'deal'?"
