"Hyuga Rakawa, this is the Scroll of Seals. Although I've agreed to let you view it, there's a time limit, which I hope you understand. You only have five minutes. How many Ninjutsu you can learn depends on your own fortune."
At the Scroll of Seals' storage location, the Third Hokage retrieved the Scroll of Seals. The Jonin guarding it had already withdrawn.
Only the three of them remained. The Third Hokage seemed to be in good spirits.
Being able to suppress Danzo at this time was the best possible outcome for him.
Hyuga Senyo also smiled and nodded. "Rakawa, you must work hard to repay the Third Hokage's kindness. Don't disappoint us."
With such a good opportunity, Rakawa naturally agreed. The Scroll of Seals held immense significance for him. Although he only had five minutes, it was entirely sufficient.
"Thank you, Third Hokage. It truly makes me feel uneasy to have caused a conflict between you and Danzo."
"No, the Hokage's word is gold. What has been promised must naturally be delivered. Rakawa, this is what you deserve."
"Thank you, Third Hokage."
The three of them understood implicitly that ANBU had already reported the investigation results to the Hokage. As for the content of the report, even Senyo had no way of knowing.
However, it was conceivable that ANBU had indeed identified the deceased. Since the Third Hokage hadn't made it clear, it naturally made Rakawa think of many things.
Setting those matters aside for now, Rakawa took the Scroll of Seals and walked to the other side. He immediately spread it open, revealing various Ninjutsu densely written across its pages.
The Scroll of Seals contained a wide variety of Ninjutsu. For someone to learn them quickly, it was indeed quite challenging.
The Third Hokage and Senyo did not disturb him. They spoke in low voices, occasionally nodding.
"Rakawa has good potential. As you said, his temperament is mature. I wonder how many Ninjutsu he can learn."
Hyuga Senyo smiled, a somewhat strange smile. "However many he can learn, that's his fortune."
"Indeed. He's a prodigy of Konoha's younger generation. I truly look forward to his future development."
The two chatted and laughed, while Rakawa made a new move.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!"
Spreading open the Scroll of Seals, he rapidly channeled his Chakra, summoning three Shadow Clones.
Without wasting words, the Shadow Clones joined the ranks of memorizing Ninjutsu. Comprehending Ninjutsu here was unrealistic. He would simply commit the Ninjutsu to memory and study them thoroughly later.
Upon seeing the Shadow Clones, the Third Hokage was stunned.
"This kid... Senyo, you knew about this all along, didn't you?"
The Shadow Clone Jutsu was not easy to master. The moment Rakawa used it, the Third Hokage immediately understood. Seeing Senyo's smile, he suddenly felt as if he had fallen into a trap.
However, it was a trap he couldn't escape, so he could only accept it.
Hyuga Senyo did not respond, merely smiling, which made the Third Hokage feel a little frustrated.
What an extraordinary child. To be able to use such a Jutsu at such a young age, he was indeed a shocking child.
In the current Ninja Academy, there was probably no student who could contend with him. Such monstrous talent truly made him a prodigy, a prodigy who surpassed even geniuses.
At the age of eight, he possessed the strength to kill an elite Chunin. This was unheard of in any generation of students.
"Konoha is growing vigorously. If we could have a few more students like him, how powerful would Konoha become in a few years?"
The Third Hokage sighed repeatedly, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at Rakawa.
Five minutes quickly passed. The three Shadow Clones, along with his original body, continuously memorized Ninjutsu, finally committing many of them to memory.
Although there were many Ninjutsu, some were useless to him, so he ignored them.
He had memorized some of the most important Ninjutsu, and finally, he closed the Scroll of Seals with satisfaction.
Five minutes, no more, no less, just right.
After handing the Scroll of Seals back to the Third Hokage, Rakawa swiftly returned home, and his Shadow Clones dissipated.
As the Shadow Clones dispelled, a flood of memories rushed into his mind, making him feel a little dizzy.
"He's certainly impatient."
The Third Hokage said with a chuckle, putting away the Scroll of Seals. He and Hyuga Senyo returned to the Hokage's Office, where they talked late into the night.
No one knew what they discussed.
...
At the Hyuga Compound, in the annex.
Rakawa returned to his room and immediately sat cross-legged on his bed. The massive influx of memories into his mind urgently needed to be sorted.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu, Flying Thunder God Technique, Reaper Death Seal, Impure World Reincarnation, Water Release: Severing Wave... So many Ninjutsu, it truly lives up to its name as the Scroll of Seals!"
The Scroll of Seals contained numerous Ninjutsu. Currently, he couldn't comprehend these Ninjutsu, only relying on his memory to commit them to heart.
For these powerful Ninjutsu to unleash their true strength, it would require a long time to familiarize himself with them. Only by mastering them proficiently could he fully unleash their power.
Calming his mind, Rakawa delved into studying Ninjutsu, which was far more interesting than being at the Ninja Academy.
He digested, understood, and categorized each Ninjutsu until the sun rose in the east. Only then did Rakawa stop.
"It's too profound. I can't fully comprehend it in a short time. I can only take it one step at a time."
He had spent an entire night digesting these Ninjutsu. However, there were simply too many, and they were extremely profound. It was impossible to grasp their essence in such a short time, so he could only sigh inwardly.
The creation of every Ninjutsu involved countless efforts from its creator. For a learner, skipping this step indeed simplified things considerably.
Simply using these Ninjutsu did not satisfy him. Creating his own Ninjutsu was the most interesting part.
He had already learned a lot of fundamental Ninjutsu theory. The Ninjutsu he wished to create were mostly related to the Byakugan and Dust Release.
These two powers could derive many Jutsu and possessed great potential.
For example, the Dust Release: Realm Return from before was a Ninjutsu he created, instantly killing an elite Chunin with a single strike.
