"Kekei genkai is a special attribute born from different elemental Chakra combining uniquely.
As for secret techniques, according to what Nara Shikamaru said in the anime, they are a special ratio synthesis of spiritual and physical energy.
That is, normal Chakra is a one-to-one combination.
To create a secret technique, one needs to adjust the ratio between spiritual and physical energy."
Satoru carefully analysed the information he knew, organising his knowledge.
First, Kekei genkai, there's no need to say more, many ninjas know about it.
However, in terms of secret techniques, few people know.
This is because the danger of developing secret techniques is no less than that of Kekei genkai.
The danger lies in not knowing what kind of ratio can create a stable special Chakra when spiritual and physical energy are not combined one-to-one.
Only this kind of Chakra is the basis for developing secret techniques.
But it's very dangerous.
If physical energy decreases, the created Chakra will tend to devour spiritual energy.
And vice versa.
This is also where the difficulty lies.
And it's what Satoru needs to overcome.
He already has an idea for this.
First, it must be a higher ratio of spiritual energy.
Second, he has a superior from a secret technique family.
He can ask about the knowledge of creating secret techniques.
As long as he doesn't pry into their secret techniques, it's fine.
With an idea, of course, it's time to go home and eat.
Only after eating his fill would he have the strength to do things.
...
After he finished eating, Inoichi Yamanaka summoned him.
Opening the door.
What met his eyes was Inoichi Yamanaka, and also Fourth Hokage-sama.
"Hokage-sama."
Satoru bowed.
"Satoru, I came to see you, and also to get clearer information from you."
Minato Namikaze said to him with a smile.
"Is it about the Hidden Mist?"
"Yes."
Since the Hokage requested it, Satoru had no choice but to recount the situation again.
He knew Minato was probably afraid that some information might not be relayed by others, which also meant he paid attention to the matter.
Minato Namikaze nodded repeatedly.
He expressed approval for Satoru's detailed report.
He is a talent; the Third Hokage was indeed right.
After seeing him before, Minato had investigated Satoru's information.
He found that the Third Hokage had actually met him and even given him some guidance.
According to the Third Hokage's evaluation, Satoru was a young man who inherited the Will of Fire.
Now it seems his ability is also top-notch among his peers.
After Satoru finished explaining, Minato smiled at him and then disappeared from his sight.
"This is?"
Satoru feigned confusion, shocked by the suddenly vanished Hokage.
Inoichi Yamanaka smiled: "That's the Flying Thunder God Technique, a forbidden Jutsu developed by the Second Hokage, and only the Fourth Hokage has the talent to master it."
"I see, I'm so envious! I want to learn it too!"
Satoru genuinely wanted to learn it; his talent was also good, and his neurological reactions were excellent.
He considered himself to have no major shortcomings except for his Chakra reserves, compared to an ordinary Ninja.
"Haha, that won't do.
Flying Thunder God is a forbidden Jutsu, and the training process carries great risks.
Those who haven't been approved by the Hokage cannot learn it."
Inoichi Yamanaka stated.
"Mm-hmm, by the way, Boss, I have something I'd like to ask you about."
"What is it?"
"Regarding questions about secret techniques..."
"Good kid, I didn't expect your talent to be so good, but this is very dangerous.
I'll explain it to you in detail."
"Thank you, Boss."
Inoichi Yamanaka was a very competent superior.
Even outside of work, he could chat animatedly with his subordinates.
When facing Satoru's questions, he was even more generous, offering the best advice.
Of course, as one of the heads of the Intelligence Division, he knew exactly what to say and what not to say.
During their casual chat, he also learned that his intelligence this time had earned a great merit.
Time flew by quickly.
Although the war had ended, post-war reconstruction was also very important.
There were many things to restore.
For example, some strategic resources were slowly made available.
Combat resources like explosive tags and Shuriken, which required application to purchase during the war, could now be bought at ordinary Ninja tool shops.
And Satoru also devoted himself to the work of restoring the Village.
With the war over and fewer enemies, the workload of reading memories also decreased accordingly.
When he had nothing to do, he would work odd jobs.
For example, helping the Hokage organise documents or guarding the gate of Konoha.
That's right, he also became a gatekeeper.
Anyway, wherever there was a need, he would be there.
And Ayame, seeing how hard he worked, prepared a bento for him every day.
This made him feel very happy.
He became even more diligent in his training, and his progress in mastering secret techniques accelerated.
His Genjutsu also reached a higher level.
In daily sparring, he made Seishimon, Might Guy, Ebisu, and others suffer immensely.
Even a hot-blooded youth like Might Guy only dared to challenge him once every few days.
It was truly difficult; once you fell into his Genjutsu, even if you dispelled it, the emotion would linger in your heart.
It was very uncomfortable.
Especially that Mind Reading Technique - Depression; even Might Guy could only barely resist it.
Not to mention Ebisu and the others.
Clang!
A sword sliced through a Kunai, resting on Satoru's neck.
"You lost."
The masked boy, Kakashi, said calmly.
"Oh, I still can't beat you, Kakashi!"
Satoru waved his hand helplessly.
"It's just because of the Sharingan."
Kakashi put down his weapon, and the Sharingan in his eye slowly rotated.
He never expected that the expert recommended by Might Guy would be so skilled in Genjutsu.
If it weren't for the power of his Sharingan, he wouldn't have been able to do anything to him.
Moreover, his Taijutsu was no less than his own or Might Guy's.
"Haha, Ninja don't say 'it's just because of something'.
If you have to say 'it's because of something', it's certainly the brain."
Satoru wouldn't say things like 'if you didn't have the Sharingan, you would lose'.
Only a fool would say that to another fool.
Ninjas are assassins; there's no need to talk about fairness or morality.
If you want to talk about fairness and morality, it's not using forbidden Jutsu on comrades or something like that.
"However, next time, hmph hmph, your Sharingan will be useless."
Satoru said to him with a confident smile.
Kakashi was stunned by his words and looked at him intently.
Who gave him the confidence to counter the Sharingan?
One must know that only by using the Sharingan does one realise how useful it is.
Its insight is simply incomparable to that of an ordinary Ninja.
Moreover, its resistance to Genjutsu is enhanced in all aspects.
Just now, it was the Sharingan that broke Satoru's Genjutsu.
"Ah, as expected of my lifelong rival, he defeated Satoru!"
Might Guy, who was nearby, cheered for Kakashi.
He even shouted that he would run five laps around Konoha as a reward for himself.
Satoru's face darkened.
It was truly a once-in-a-millennium style, even more cringeworthy than the anime.
Kakashi felt the same way.
Especially since Might Guy was promoted to Chunin a few months ago, his challenges to Kakashi had become even more fervent.
He swore to compete with Kakashi.
Satoru looked up at the sky; the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's rampage was coming soon.
