Chapter 19: (NARUTO) -- CHAPTER 19: Returning to Normal
"The Senjutsu of Ryuuchi Cave."
Yuri said without hesitation what he had long coveted.
"Sensei, I think you should have met Hakuja Sennin. And considering your personality, it is impossible for you not to obtain the Senjutsu training method of Ryuuchi Cave."
"The practice of senjutsu is extremely difficult, Yuri." Orochimaru warned: "The hermit mode can only be practiced by people with a very large amount of chakra, people with a small amount of chakra can easily be swallowed by natural energy."
"Yuri, this training method is not suitable for you at the moment. Furthermore, just as the Senjutsu training of Mount Myuoboku begins with applying toad oil to the body to sense and absorb natural energy, the Senjutsu training of Ryuuchi Cave also requires the help of Hakuja Sennin to practice."
"Don't worry about it, sensei, I'm just doing some research."
Seeing Yuri's determination, Orochimaru didn't hesitate, but handed him the training method [Ryuuchi Cave Senjutsu].
"Then I'll be leaving first."
Yuri wrote down the training method, turned around and left.
"By the way, if… well, if Danzo comes to find you, sensei, you can use the following…"
Orochimaru looked at Yuri's figure for a long time, finally turned around and continued working.
...
...
Yuri continued training with Dai as if nothing was wrong.
At this very moment, an uninvited guest arrived at the conference room of the Hokage Building.
BANG!
As the door was violently thrown open, Danzo Shimura rushed in.
"What time is it, Hiruzen, are you still drinking tea!"
Danzo Shimura was furious upon seeing the appearance of the kind old man and slammed his hand down hard on the solid wooden table.
The loud sound attracted many ninjas, but when they saw the masked ANBU at the door, they all turned their heads silently.
"That boy's potential is too high. For the sake of the village, he must join the ANBU! Otherwise, he must die!"
"He is the only successor of the Senju clan, and is also the bloodline of the Uchiha clan. Neither Tsunade of the Senju clan nor the Uchiha clan will accept this." Hiruzen spoke calmly.
With Nawaki's death, the Senju clan was practically isolated. Finally, decades after Hashirama, someone with Senju blood, was born with Wood Release, Tsunade would probably make a big fuss after hearing about this.
Furthermore, the Senju clan simply threw away their names and blended in for the sake of the village, they didn't die!
Not to mention the Uchiha clan, who is already practically at war with the village. If something happens to Yuri, an Uchiha genius who awakened a Sharingan with two tomoes at this age, they might really do something crazy.
"This matter needs to be properly discussed with the Uchiha clan, the Senju clan on Tsunade's side, and their master, Orochimaru."
"Heh!? Discuss?"
Danzo smiled coldly.
"We should catch him right now!"
"Ninjas must sacrifice themselves for the sake of the village. Unstable bombs like this boy must be handled by the Anbu! Or rather, by Root! It is his duty to sacrifice his freedom and life for the sake of the village!"
BANG!
Hiruzen dropped his pipe heavily, his cloudy eyes showing a cold and fierce light.
"I told you, Danzo! For the sake of the village, the matter involving Yuri Winters must be negotiated by all three sides!"
"No! Once the Uchiha clan gets their hands on him, Konoha will fall into an irreversible situation. The entire village will be destroyed. Have you forgotten!? As the leader of Root, it is my duty to put an end to trouble before it happens, for the sake of the village!"
"That's enough, Danzo!! I am the HOKAGE!! Just obey my orders!!" Hiruzen stood up, slammed the table, and shouted.
"Hiruzen, you're going to regret this!"
Danzo gritted his teeth, slapped the table, and walked away.
He secretly hated himself for being a coward back then, otherwise the position of Hokage would have been his.
This resentment corroded his heart like acid, and Danzo, who was becoming increasingly mad, turned and walked towards Orochimaru.
There is no hope for the Uchiha clan and Tsunade, so he has only one way left, to go after Yuri Winters's master, Orochimaru.
As long as he uses the experiments done on the child as a threat, he will surely be able to make Orochimaru hand over the boy to him.
Danzo's eyes revealed severity, coldness, and... madness.

"Five hundred and thirty-one, five hundred and thirty-two..."
When Yuri returned to the place where he normally practiced, Gai was still working hard on his exercises.
On the other hand, Kakashi was also practicing his exercises. his family's sword skills with the same dedication.
Although Yuri doesn't know what happened in the meantime, if you look closely at the fist marks on Kakashi's face and the wounds on Gai's body, it's likely that these destined good friends had a fight.
Yuri isn't in such a hurry to train anymore, so he sat by the riverside chatting with the two.
It turns out that Kakashi felt that he had gone too far before and, under his father's guidance, decided to apologize to Gai, and Gai in turn challenged him, but unfortunately he still lost.
"It's a pity, but after learning the Rasengan, you'll definitely be able to defeat Kakashi, Gai!"
"Yes! Once I learn how to do it, I'll definitely defeat you, Kakashi~~!"
Gai seemed to catch fire immediately. Gai, who was originally beating the trees, turned his head and carried the large rock on his back and began to jump like a frog. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from Yuri and Kakashi's sight.
"Oohhhh~ My youth is burning again!"
Hearing the passionate words coming from afar, Kakashi held his forehead in a headache. If he had known that he would get entangled with this guy, he wouldn't have come!
but...
"What is this Rasengan?"
"A ninjutsu that doesn't require hand seals." Yuri calmly replied.
Kakashi couldn't help but look at Yuri curiously. If it was true, then the lethality of this type of ninjutsu would be very high.
"I'm just curious. It doesn't matter if you don't tell me about it." Kakashi realized that he had made a mistake and quickly added, it is taboo to spy on other people's ninjutsu.
"No problem, how could I deceive one of my only friends?"
Saying that, Yuri showed the Rasengan to Kakashi.
After seeing the blue sphere in Yuri's hand, Kakashi had an expression of disbelief, Yuri knew that this tool man had taken the bait!
"How are you? Do you want to learn?"
Kakashi looked closely at the light blue sphere and nodded subconsciously after hearing Yuri's words.
But Kakashi reacted immediately, he looked at Yuri warily.
"But I don't have any ninjutsu that I can exchange with you."
"That's not necessary. I just hope that you'll agree to Gai's challenges in the future. By the way... if anyone somehow gets inspired by this ninjutsu and develops a ninjutsu that changes the nature of chakra, you can also give it to me."
"Is that all?"
Kakashi felt a little strange no matter how he thought about it, but he felt that there was nothing wrong with it.
"Well, that's all. And I can give it to you first. That way, you won't have any losses, right?"
"Okay! I promise with the dignity of the Hatake clan that if a new ninjutsu is developed based on this, I will also teach it to you!"
Yuri couldn't help but laugh at Kakashi's assurance.
"Let's begin, let me explain the training method…"
......
......
As the shadow of the sun sets in the west, dusk finally disappears at the bend of the mountains.
Life in Konoha is naturally peaceful, and as night gradually falls, the streetlights light up like a long line. The streets that were previously a little chilly became extremely noisy.
The aroma of each house wafted far and wide, and the lively atmosphere made Yuri feel a little amused.
In this scene, the two girls beside Yuri had completely different moods.
Anko was very confident and relieved when she heard Yuri say, "Orochimaru-sensei will settle this."
However, Kurenai clearly knew that the storm surrounding Yuri's end-of-month assessment was more frightening than she had imagined.
Seeing Kurenai's concern, Yuri leaned in and whispered close to Kurenai's ear, "Don't worry..."
"The reason I did this is because I was prepared."
"I know, you probably won't believe this now. In two days, when you hear something big happening in Konoha, go look for two letters in the drawer in my room. I'm sure you'll understand."
Kurenai looked into Yuri's eyes, wanting to know the truth in his words.
Yuri's gaze didn't waver, as soft and steady as when they first met.
"Well, I understand."
Kurenai returned to her usual self, and Anko, who didn't seem to notice, held Yuri's hand and walked into a barbecue restaurant.
Looking at the fiery scene of people drinking and eating, and the rich aroma of barbecue, the three couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
As they entered the room, they saw Anko's face with the smile of a foodie after the food was served.
At this moment, she was eating the dangos she had just served and couldn't help but narrow her eyes, nodding her head:
"Hmm~~ The dangos here are really delicious!"
Seeing the somewhat awkward Anko and Kurenai sitting down to eat in harmony, Yuri let out a farewell sigh in her heart and quickly handed all kinds of food to the two of them.
"Try this, this is also very good."
When Yuri handed vegetables to Anko, but she didn't take them. Instead, she leaned over and bit Yuri's chopsticks as if she was being fed, showing an expression of happiness.
"Hmm... it's really delicious!"
At the same time, Yuri felt the gaze from the other side and quickly reached out with her other hand, lifted the food and brought it to Kurenai's mouth, "Red, you can try it too..."
Kurenai's face turned slightly red, showing hesitation, "I... I..."
In front of her friend Anko, Kurenai felt a little shy being fed like this.
"Hurry up, if you don't want it, I'll give it to Anko."
She looked at Yuri, who was smiling softly at the corner of her mouth, and then at Anko, whose eyes were shining. She panicked for some reason, and Kurenai quickly opened her lips, bit Yuri's chopsticks lightly, and slowly ate the food.
"Hmm..." Even without looking in the mirror, she felt that her cheeks were red, and she didn't dare to raise her head and said, "It's... very delicious."
After the first time, there was a second round under Yuri's eating, these two girls had a good time.
The fireworks at the night market, the warm breeze by the window, and the gentle whispers of the young man next to her made Kurenai's eyes a little intoxicated, hoping that time would remain like this forever.
Suddenly, the strange touch on her lips woke her up.
When she looked again, Anko was immersed in eating barbecue and smiling at her.
-------
The night breeze was cool, and as the candles swayed, the breeze gently The fresh air allowed Yuri's brain to gradually regain its calm.
After retreating from the countryside and returning home, he was in no hurry to go inside. Looking at the lights in his house that had been turned on without permission, a sneer appeared on the corner of Yuri's lips.
It seems that some people can no longer calm down.
Yuri moved quickly, activated his sharingan, and pushed open the door with a cold face.
"Is this the etiquette of the Uchiha clan? Do you enter other people's homes without permission?"
When Yuri's angry voice sounded, everyone who had been waiting for a long time saw the long-awaited 'genius'.
With handsome facial features and his cold and arrogant gaze, it caused the elders of the Uchiha clan who had arrived to secretly nod their heads in approval.
In particular, a twelve or thirteen year old girl who was brought in silently covered her mouth, afraid to let out a sound.
