I Punch the Tailed Beast Ball

Upon seeing the students’ choices, Nagasawa felt that something was wrong. This was Konoha, why most of them chose Flame Breathing instead of Water Breathing or Wind Breathing?

Nagasawa could only secretly shake his head. It seemed that the Hokage’s tradition of not learning Fire Release was not inherited by the younger generation.

Out of the twenty-six people, twenty chose Flame Breathing!

Nagasawa touched his chin, thinking of the way to change this situation. Flame Breathing had the most mentors to begin with, and now most of the new recruits wanted to learn Flame Breathing, too.

With so many new recruits learning Flame Breathing, some of them might become new mentors in the future, and thus the endless cycle began, which was not good for the Special Combat Division.

Nagasawa felt that he had to find a way to change this situation. Normally, Water Breathing should have the most cultivators, because Water Breathing was the easiest and perfect for beginners.

He thought that it was necessary for him to educate the Academy students about information involving Breathing Styles like this so that the students could understand more about Breathing Styles.

He could then search for Stone Breath and Thunder Breathing mentor, which would at least change this situation a little.

Finding Thunder Breathing mentor was not that much of a problem. Although it would be somewhat difficult, Nagasawa should be able to find a few candidates after carefully looking through the Shinobi roster.

However, it would be a bit difficult for Nagasawa to find Stone Breathing mentor.

The Stone Breathing was the hardest among the five basic Breathing Styles. Only those with true perseverance could learn it, and that was if they had the talent for that.

Might Guy was a perfect candidate to learn Stone Breathing. Needless to say hard work and perseverance, he also had talent inTaijutsu.

However, the Eight Gates and Breathing Styles might conflict with each other.

Although Breathing Styles’ explosive power was powerful, it put quite a toll on the user’s body.

He was already straining himself by activating Eight Gates. If he used Breathing Styles on top of Eight Gates, it would be suicidal.

However, when Might Guy’s body was strong enough to open the Seventh Gate safely, he might be able to learn Stone Breathing in his free time.

Having Might Guy learn Stone Breathing right now was just a waste of time.

Instead of spending a lot of time learning Stone Breathing that was difficult to learn, it was more efficient for him to focus on his Six Powers and Eight Gates training.

”Stone Breathing mentor, huh...” Nagasawa shook his head and decided to deal with Thunder Breathing mentor first. After all, he had just completed the first phase of recruitment.

Nagasawa first thought of his capable men.

Kakashi could try Thunder Breathing, but Kakashi had his job at Anbu on top of his training. It was unrealistic to ask him to become a part-time mentor.

Besides, Nagasawa knew he should at least give him some free time.

As for Shisui, compared to Thunder Breathing, he would be more suitable to learn Water Breathing.

After thinking for a while, Nagasawa realized that none of his capable men was suitable to be Special Combat Division’s mentor. They either had another important job or they weren’t the right person for the Breathing Style he needed.

”I have to find a new minion...” Nagasawa sighed heavily.

Konoha was now fairly strong. With him, the Third Hokage and Minato, had at least three Kage-calibre combatants.

However at the same time, Konoha was also weak. In the Third Shinobi World War, Konoha suffered a heavy loss, losing a large number of Chunin and Jonin.

This kind of gap could not be made up in a short time, so there was no other way but to patiently wait.

Konoha also encountered this kind of situation in the manga. After the Fourth Shinobi World War, Konoha could be said to be completely recovered after Naruto and his friends grew up.

However, Konoha’s current situation was much better than the manga, and Nagasawa estimated that Konoha would completely recover when Naruto enrolled at the Academy.

By that time, Konoha would be considered truly powerful, unlike now, and that was probably the first time Konoha had improved since its establishment.

Since Madara left and Hashirama died, Konoha had been going downhill. Fortunately, the other villages were also going downhill.

Nagasawa was looking forward to Naruto’s Academy years as it was the key to Konoha’s recovery.

By the time Naruto and the others completed their training, it would be the true point of Konoha’s rapid development.

Kage-calibre Shinobi would be no longer rare, and the Super Kage-calibre would the leader of the major division, while the top combatant would be several Six Path-calibre Shinobi.

At that time, let alone Kaguya, Konoha should even be able to deal with two other Otsutsuki Clan.

But of course, that was not Nagasawa’s final goal. He didn’t know how strong that Clan’s strongest combatant was.

In order to deal with the possible dangers, he had to become the most powerful person in the universe, strong enough to destroy an entire galaxy with a single punch.

By that time, Nagasawa could just do whatever he wanted.

If he was bored, he could pretend to be an ordinary person to experience different lives on various planets, and he could make whatever he wanted.

If he was stronger, it wasn’t a bad idea be good to break through the wall of the world and go to other worlds.

He could also write a biography. He had already thought of the title. ”Nine-Tails’ Attack, I blow up the Beast Tail Jade with one punch.

After all, everything he did on Nine-Tails’ Night symbolized that he had completely disappeared from the original plot. It was a very important node.

”What minion?” Kabuto looked at Nagasawa suspiciously.

”You must’ve heard me wrong. I said that you will become my right-hand man in the future.” Nagasawa said without changing his expression.

Kabuto:...

He suspected that Nagasawa took him for a fool.

How could he mistake right-hand man and minion?

”Hurry up and get to practice. I’ll teach you new Water Release Ninjutsu, a very strong one.” Nagasawa felt a little guilty.

”What kind of Water Release?” Kabuto’s eyes lit up and his interest was piqued.

Currently, he only knew two kinds of Water Release. The first was Water Dragon Bullet Technique, which was used for offensive, and the other was Water Formation Wall for defensive.

Nagasawa said that he should focus on the basics, so he asked him to learn those two first.

”Strong Vortex Water Blade, this is a very powerful Water Release. It demands a highly complicated Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation. You have to practice seriously.”

Hearing that he’d learn a powerful Water Release soon, he no longer cared about what Nagasawa had just said and left happily.

After giving some instructions to the mentors, Nagasawa left the Special Combat Division and went to the training team.

However, not long after Nagasawa arrived at the office, a bad news entered his ear.

”The investigation team comprised by two members of training team led by Shisui is missing...”

Nagasawa frowned. Considering Shisui’s strength, only a Kage-calibre Shinobi stood a chance against him, but who would dare to provoke Konoha at this time?

”Tell me the details.” Nagasawa said to the member of the training team who reported the information.

He never expected that he wouldn’t even have the luxury to go home.
