Chapter 370 The Second Hokage Forced Naruto to His Death
Upon hearing Tobirama Senju's last wish, the most astonished were undoubtedly Naruto Uzumaki, Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru, and Kabuto Yakushi from various timelines.
While many others, such as Kakashi, the Third Hokage, and Boruto, also use Shadow Clone Jutsu, none of them have turned the Second Hokage's forbidden technique into their signature move like the four mentioned above.
Naruto blinked, still not quite understanding.
Until the bullet screen confirmed Tobirama Senju's wish—
["Confirming the timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War": Tobirama Senju's wish]
"First, they want to know my identity."
"Secondly, they want to know my purpose."
"Thirdly, anyone using the forbidden techniques you developed will need to pay copyright fees."
What do "copyright fee" and "copyright fee" mean?
In the timeline before the Uchiha clan massacre, 6-year-old Naruto had just learned the Shadow Clone Technique and was not yet able to use Multiple Shadow Clone Techniques when he saw himself in another timeline—already in a hurry to pay royalties.
Beside 6-year-old Naruto, Minato Namikaze broke out in a cold sweat.
His title of "Yellow Flash" is all thanks to the Flying Thunder God Technique. If the second generation leader in their timeline might have made such a wish—
Thinking of this, Minato Namikaze cautiously glanced at the Second Hokage not far away.
I don't know how much the copyright fee will be, whether it's a lump sum payment or payment per use.
Even the Fourth Hokage was so frightened that his heart started pounding.
Looking back at the timeline of the Fourth Shinobi World War—
After confirming Tobirama Senju's wishes, the bullet screen immediately began to fulfill them one by one.
"My identity is: Artificial Intelligence."
"My goal is to become Hashirama Senju."
"From this moment forward, anyone other than Tobirama Senju himself who uses the forbidden techniques developed by Tobirama Senju will be required to pay a copyright fee."
The fee schedule is as follows:
]
Before people could even process the shock of the first two answers, they were already confusedly scrolling through the barrage of payment options displayed on the screen.
[The Regulations for the Paid Use of Tobirama Senju's Patented Prohibited Techniques]
Shadow Clone Technique - 10000 tael/clone - no upper limit
[Flying Thunder God Technique - 50000 taels/use - Limited-time offer including space coordinates for registration fee]
[Impure World Reincarnation - Ordinary Ninja: 300,000 Ryo/person; Elite Ninja: 1,000,000 Ryo/person; Kage-level Ninja: 5,000,000 Ryo/person; Super Kage-level Ninja: 10,000,000 Ryo/person; Six Paths-level Ninja: 99,999,999 Ryo/person]
[Multi-functional Explosive Talisman - 15,000,000 Taels/tael - Cost of Psychic Explosive Talisman is not included]
[All Marine Release Ninjutsu - 250000 taels/ton - Heavenly Cry is calculated separately, 500000 taels/piece]
【Soul Imprisonment Spell - 9,999,999 taels/person】
Silence—the entire room was utterly silent.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, as if even the air itself had frozen.
When the "Regulations for the Paid Use of Senju Tobirama's Patented Forbidden Techniques," which evolved from Tobirama Senju's third wish, slowly appeared on the bullet screen—
The true identity of the bullet screen wall, artificial intelligence, and the ambition to replace Hashirama Senju all seem irrelevant now!
At this moment, all the ninjas present were speechless with shock at this business plan that transcended life and death, a plan so lucrative that even a ruthless tycoon would be skinned alive if he happened to pass by!
"What—what is this?!"
Finally, a Hidden Mist ninja broke the silence, pointing tremblingly at the words "all Sea Release ninjutsu" in the regulations, protesting, "Those are clearly Water Release techniques passed down through generations of Hidden Mist ninjas from the Land of Water! When did they become the Second Hokage's 'Sea Release patent'?!"
They want me to pay extra money?! That's outrageous!
"This is outrageous!!"
A Hidden Mist ninja stood up angrily and protested at the barrage of comments, "Why should the Second Hokage, who is skilled in Water Release, charge us Hidden Mist ninjas who rely on Water Release for our livelihood?!"
A Cloud Village ninja nearby, watching the spectacle with amusement, chimed in: "Hahaha, it's not just targeting you Mist Village ninjas. We Cloud Village ninjas who use water also have to pay taxes." (Copyright tax, tax.)
"What do you know!"
The Hidden Mist ninja's face turned ashen with rage. "It's one thing for you to use Water Release occasionally, but everyone in the Hidden Mist village, from genin to Mizukage, relies on Water Release to survive in this chaotic world! And now you want to charge by the ton? You're cutting off our livelihood!!"
"What do we do?!"
Several ninja from Kirigakure were so distressed they scratched their heads. "The barrage of comments has confirmed our wish! What are we going to do about the future of Kirigakure?!"
Another Hidden Mist ninja was already squatting on the ground in despair, his finger trembling as he pointed at the price: "Five hundred thousand taels per ton—"
"Putting everything else aside, just using the Water Barrier ten times will require five million units!!"
"This is probably higher than the Mizukage's annual salary, isn't it?!"
"Damn it!!" A Kirigakure ninja pounded the ground, venting his frustration. "We might as well just make Kirigakure farmers!!"
"We can't even use water escape techniques when farming, so we have no advantage anymore!"
In an instant, the Mist Village was filled with lamentations, as if the sky were about to fall over the entire village.
On the other side of Kirigakure, the "Regulations for the Paid Use of Tobirama Senju's Patented Forbidden Techniques" were also projected into the sky above them, plunging the entire village into an uproar.
"Lord Mizukage! Look at the sky!!"
Upon hearing her subordinate's urgent report, the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, instantly appeared atop the Mizukage Tower. She gazed up at the dense barrage of bullets in the sky—among which stood a single page resembling a contract—and her beautiful eyes were instantly filled with disbelief.
"What... what does this mean?!"
Her slender fingers gripped the railing tightly, her knuckles turning slightly white from the force. This wasn't some kind of fee schedule; it was clearly an unequal treaty designed to drive Kirigakure into a corner! If this standard were truly enforced, Kirigakure would be bankrupt every year just from the water-style copyright fees!!
"How about we give it a try?" A hesitant voice came from the crowd.
"Yeah, maybe it's just a scare tactic—"
"What do you mean by deducting copyright fees? How could you possibly actually deduct them from us? At most, you could only deduct them from the Konoha ninjas, right?"
"Exactly! If we don't pay, do you think Konoha will send someone to collect it?"
The discussions rose and fell, but they all revealed a sense of unease and a lack of confidence.
At this moment, someone muttered softly, "But—that thing is a monster that even Kaguya Otsutsuki and Black Zetsu could manipulate at will—"
It's not just about manipulating Kaguya Otsutsuki and Black Zetsu! That thing can even rewind an entire world to more than a decade ago!!
Even Madara Uchiha, who left the Allied Shinobi Forces helpless, had absolutely no way to deal with him!
"If this fee is real, and refusing to pay will result in penalties—" Mei Terumi took a deep breath, her voice grave, "this isn't a simple dispute; it's a political issue concerning the survival of the village!"
She looked around at the anxious villagers below, her gaze gradually hardening.
"Regardless, we must first verify the authenticity of this regulation!"
As she spoke, she immediately used Water Release: Hidden Mist Technique!
The air quickly became damp, and the moisture obstructed the surrounding view.
Aside from these normal reactions, nothing else happened. Just as the Hidden Mist Village ninjas were about to rejoice, someone asked, "The Hidden Mist Technique—is that considered Water Release, which the Second Hokage was skilled in?"
The technique of concealing oneself in mist does not have the concept of being charged by the ton.
"How about trying Water Release: Water Wall? Or Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
Immediately, a Hidden Mist ninja attempted to use Water Release: Water Wall.
"Water Release·Water Formation Wall!"
"Idiot! Don't use the water array wall! That one has a larger water flow!"
However, this warning came too late; the Hidden Mist ninja had already completed the hand seals and released the corresponding Water Release ninjutsu.
As the surging water formed a defensive water barrier—a ninjutsu that blocked the enemy's vision and attacks—the ninja heard a warning sound that made his legs go weak:
"Water consumption exceeds 1.25 tons, and a fee of 312500 taels should be paid."
"I regret to inform you that your total assets are currently only 879 taels."
"...
""
The Hidden Mist ninja silently broke out in a cold sweat; thankfully, the others didn't seem to hear the notification sound.
Otherwise, it would be too discouraging. He's already in his thirties, and his total assets are only a little over eight hundred taels of silver.
"Therefore, the remaining 311621 taels will be provided as an interest-bearing loan for 24 months at an interest rate of 15%, with monthly repayments of only 15102 taels."
"If personal assets fall below the repayment amount for three consecutive months, repayment will be made using chakra or life force."
[Please note that repayment will be made in the form of interest-only payments followed by principal repayment.]
"Thank you for choosing Tobirama Senju's patented ninjutsu. See you next time."
The Hidden Mist ninja was so startled that he fell to the ground with a thud.
For 24 months, or two years, he has to repay 15,000 taels every month?!
This is no longer just the collapse of the sky, but a horrific event on the scale of cosmic destruction and the end of the world.
When he told the other ninjas of Kirigakure, as well as the Fifth Mizukage Mei Terumi, about the sounds he heard, this fear, which felt like the end of the world, spread rapidly throughout the village like a contagion.
Mei Terumi immediately issued a command to all ninjas on the mission: "Unless absolutely necessary, Water Release techniques must not be used! Except for Hidden Mist Technique!"
"But—— Terumi Mei-sama————"
The ninjas of Kirigakure had mixed feelings; they were told to avoid using Water Release techniques as much as possible.
The problem is that they haven't learned Earth Release, Fire Release, Wind Release, Lightning Release, Wood Release, or Yin-Yang Release either.
Bloodline limit is such a wonderful thing, but not everyone has it.
Besides, because of the policies of that year, there aren't many bloodline limits left in the village!
They can't all rely on talk-no-jutsu, can they?! And nobody has that kind of innate talent!
"We can only wait for news from the ninjas on the battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War," Mei Terumi gritted her teeth. "Hopefully, there's still a chance to turn things around."
Battlefield of the Fourth Shinobi World War—
"W-Is this for real?! Second Hokage! You actually charge for using Shadow Clones?!" Naruto leaped in front of Tobirama Senju, his blond hair standing on end, his eyes wide with disbelief. "Ten thousand ryo for one Shadow Clones?"
Those thousand shadow clones are—that is—ten thousand taels, twenty thousand taels, thirty thousand taels, forty thousand taels—”
He frantically counted on his fingers, muttering to himself; the numbers were too big, and his mind was completely blank.
"Ten million taels."
Tobirama Senju sighed, giving him a disappointed look, and glanced at him. "Does this even need to be calculated?"
"Ten million taels?!"
Naruto was petrified when he heard the number.
Ten million taels —
How many bowls of Ichiraku ramen? How many buckets of instant noodles would that be?
He seemed to see the steaming hot char siu ramen sprout wings, each one drifting away from him—
"Aaaaaaah—No!!"
A mournful wail ripped through the battlefield, and Naruto collapsed to his knees with a thud, pounding the ground with his fists. His entire body turned ashen, as if his life had ended prematurely.
A hero of the ninja world, is that all?
Madara Uchiha broke out in a sweat, unwilling to admit that this kid was actually the protagonist of their world. His foolishness wasn't much different from that of Obito Uchiha.
Meanwhile, the ninjas of Kirigakure couldn't sit still any longer. Even though Madara Uchiha was still standing near Tobirama Senju, they steeled themselves and leaped forward, bowing deeply at a ninety-degree angle to the founders of the "one village, one country" system, earnestly pleading again and again: "Second Hokage, we beg you to show mercy! We beg you—we beg you—"
"But that's right! Lord Hokage! Water Release is truly an indispensable ninjutsu for Kirigakure, and you can't say that all the ninjutsu you've used are your copyright, can you? That's just too unfair!" The Kirigakure ninja was almost crying as he spoke.
With tearful eyes, they looked at the First Hokage beside the Second Hokage, hoping that the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju, could take care of his younger brother.
Hashirama Senju, not to be outdone, leaned close to Tobirama and pleaded on behalf of everyone, "Yes, Tobirama, I think giving it away for free—" Before he could finish, Tobirama gave him a cold glance and righteously changed his words to, "Giving it away for free is definitely not an option!" Then he subtly probed, "But perhaps—could we make it a little cheaper—?"
Tobirama Senju: "6"
1
To be honest, the scope of the crackdown, the pricing, and the way they charge fees—which are even more exploitative than those of capitalists—made Tobirama Senju himself twitch at the corner of his eye.
He crossed his arms and clarified, somewhat impatiently, "This price was not set by me."
He paused for a moment, then added, "Moreover, I never intended to include even those basic water techniques in the fee—"
"But—" Kirigakure ninja and Naruto Uzumaki were on the verge of tears: "What do we do now?" This was practically cutting off their path to survival!
Orochimaru and Kabuto, who were in the distance, also looked rather grim; it was possible they might need to use the Impure World Reincarnation technique again later.
Ordinary ninjas: 300,000 taels each; elite ninjas: 1,000,000 taels each; Kage-level ninjas: 5,000,000 taels each.
Orochimaru was doing some mental calculations. If he calculated it this way, just the cost of summoning the Hokage of all generations using the Impure World Reincarnation technique would be 20 million ryo.
No, that's not right.
Hashirama Senju was definitely not a regular Kage.
Three Shadow-level vehicles, plus one Super Shadow-level vehicle—125 million vehicles.
At least he could calculate that number.
Kabuto Yakushi was in an even worse situation. Just imagine how many ninjas he summoned.
The deceased Akatsuki members, former Jinchuriki of Tailed Beasts, Kekkei Genkai experts from various villages, Kage-level Uchiha Madara, and a massive army of ordinary ninja.
Even if it could be calculated, it would be an astronomical figure.
Madara Uchiha snorted coldly. This matter was none of his concern; he was more interested in the first two answers.
His identity is artificial intelligence, and his goal is to become Hashirama Senju.
"A long time ago, wasn't there another piece of information—" Nara Shikamaru suddenly spoke up, "that guy's name—"
'
One is called Anika.
"That's exactly how the Second Hokage addressed the First Hokage!"
one--
