The thing is, everyone, be they Shinobi trainees, needs to be taught according to their individual aptitudes and differencesā¦ And the fact that different teachers have different aptitudes and teaching styles cannot be denied either,
So, we can say that if teachers of different styles teach the same student, then the final result will obviously be very different.
Take Uchiha Sasuke for instance, compared to the majority of his peers, he has strong learning, comprehension, analysis, and accepting aptitude, as such he can accept things at a faster pace. Coupled with the honor and the sense of pride that comes with the Uchiha identity gives him a temperament and desire to perform better than others and outshine themā¦ With all these characteristics of his, Sasuke needs a teacher who can convince him of their ability so that Sasukeās pride and arrogance donāt come in the wayā¦ Therefore, Orochimaru and Shinichi are the types who are perfect match for Sasuke.
But Uzumaki Naruto on the other hand is completely differentā¦ Narutoās learning, comprehension, analysis, and accepting aptitude is not that high, as such, he is unable to accept things as fast as Sasuke and many others among his peersā¦ To make him understand things, one needs to break them down into very basics and then teach him in a manner that he will be able to grasp with relative easeā¦ Although his potential can be said to be higher than Sasukeās, he needs a teacher who is willing to sit down with him and help him develop his potential step by step. Therefore, only teachers like Jiraiya are best suited to teach him, and Orochimaru is unable to connect on that level with him.
Whether consciously or subconsciously, Sasuke realizes this fact and feels that Uchiha Shinichi is suitable for teaching him. And because Shinichi was willing to teach him, so, Sasuke was also very serious in training and didnāt complain once about Shinichiās harsh training methods.
With all these thoughts in his mind, Sasuke picked up the dry towel from the side, and while drying off the sweat, he pondered over all the mistakes he made during todayās training session and also thought of the alternatives that he could have used that would have given a better result.
Shinichi also walked to the side and while lightly glancing at Sasuke who was breathing heavily, he thought to himself, āMaybe he will be able to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan as well if he suffers right emotional traumaā¦ā
As far as Shinichi is aware, awakening Mangekyou Sharingan does require emotional trauma, but thatās not the only determining factor, as there are other factors involved as wellā¦ the higher the talent, the less stimulation required, and higher the probability of awakening those eyes.
As for whether he is correct or not is not something he knows, but probably thatās how things workā¦ according to him at least.
Anyway, all these things aside, as Shinichi walked over to towards them, Neji firstly respectfully addressed Shinichi, and then asked earnestly, āShinichi-san, is it possible for you to train me as well?ā
Upon hearing Nejiās request, Shinichi frowned slightlyā¦
In Shinichiās opinion, Nejiās talent is also very good, but the thing is, but unlike Sasuke, Neji is not an Uchiha, so Shinichi is not sure if he will be able to teach Neji. Moreover, Shinichi is also not an experienced teacher, and he is also not aware of how to teach him the techniques of the Hyuga Clanā¦ so obviously he wonāt be able to teach Neji.
And more importantly, Neji is Hyuga Kurotoās discipleā¦ As such, Shinichi has to also consider the possibility that Kuroto may have some special plan for Nejiā¦ And without that clarification, Shinichi obviously wouldnāt try to indiscriminately teach Neji as it might affect Kurotoās plans.
Neji didnāt know Shinichiās complex thought, but seeing Shinichiās frowned expression, he realized that he was being a bit too impatient as well as disrespectful towards the other person, and quickly apologized, āPlease forgive me, I was a bit rude just now.ā
Teaching others and taking them as disciples is a very sacred act in the Shinobi World, the relationship between a master and their disciples is like a relationship between parent and a childā¦ And knowledge of Jutsu and other Shinobi arts is generally only shared with the disciplesā¦
Of course, being taught Clan techniques and other Jutsu from the inheritance of the Clan is still possible, but it is only possible for those who are part of the clan, as, for the others, it is completely impossible. This is also the reason why the children of the civilians, who donāt have any major background or donāt show enough talent in their academy years or arenāt particularly lucky always stay far behind the children from the major Shinobi Clansā¦
So the fact that Neji openly asked to be taught from Uchiha Shinichi without any regard to his and the other personās identity was indeed disrespectfulā¦ not only towards Shinichi but also towards Kurotoā¦ because by asking to be taught by Shinichi means expressing dissatisfaction towards Kurotoās teachingā¦
Shinichi shook his head, and explained, āItās not that I donāt want to teach youā¦ itās just that I donāt know what to teach you and how to teach you as I donāt have much knowledge about the Taijutsu techniques that the Hyuga Clan practicesā¦ā
Neji nodded again and apologized, āYes I understandā¦ I was being reckless earlierā¦ā then immediately stepped aside calmlyā¦ But the disappointment on his face was hard to conceal. And the frustration within him grewā¦
Seeing Sasuke progressing extremely fast, while him remaining still at the same point made Neji feel more and more frustrated and he didnāt know what to doā¦
Seeing Nejiās expression filled with disappointment, Shinichi felt a little guilty and sighed helplesslyā¦

The other side of the Training Field.
After the training for the day was over, the masked Obito and Zetsu who were observing the training left that area as White Zetsu asked, āItās been quite a few days since you gave those tasks to the two informants in Konohaā¦ by now they might have collected some informationā¦ā
Masked Obito thought about White Zetsuās words, and nodded, āYesā¦ they should have gathered at least something useful by nowā¦ā then added, āLet one of your clones go to Konoha and check.ā
White Zetsu nodded and while transmitting instruction through the tree roots into the ground, he said, āI hope they have gathered something usefulā¦ It makes me really excited just thinking about it!ā

Konohagakure, Shimura Danzoās Base of Operation
After Danzo finalized all the seven Kekkei Genkai that he wants to absorb through Chimera Jutsu, Homusubi and Orochimaru began to make adjustments in the Chimera Jutsu on their part, and also started finalizing the last part, that is designing the ritual ceremony.
This part of the work was done together, and in the huge laboratory, both Orochimaru and Tsukihi were busy with their respective work.
After a long time, Orochimaru who was busy with the task at hand, turned his neck and shifted his gaze to Homusubi at the other end of the laboratory, and asked in asked curiously, āShould I call you Homusubi or by your original name perhaps?ā
Homusubi didnāt turn her head and said in a chilling tone, āI think you are more than wise to figure that by yourselfā¦ā
Orochimaru chuckled, āI seeā¦ Homusubi it isā¦ā then added in a deep tone, āHomusubiā¦ arenāt you worried in the slightest?ā
Homusubi frowned, and asked in confusion, āWorried about what?ā
Orochimaru looked down for a moment, then lifted his head and said with an extremely serious expression, āYou should be more clear about all thisā¦ in regards to what we are doingā¦ the risksā¦ Arenāt you worried in the slightest that we wonāt be able to control Shimura Danzo and he will get out of handā¦ moreover, given his ambitionsā¦ā
In the beginning, Orochimaru also wanted to use Shimura Danzo as a suitable pawn and lab rat in order to improve the Chimera Jutsuā¦
But, as he delved deeper and deeper into the research of this forbidden Jutsu, coupled with the high-end knowledge and understanding that he recently gained from Homusubi, Orochimaruās initial inherent concepts were broken, and with that changed perspective he analyzed the depth of Chimera Jutsu, and he was literally shocked when he realized what this project actually entails, and this scared himā¦
Yes, even someone like Orochimaru started to feel a little scared at the thought of letting Danzo use this Jutsu to acquire seven Kekkei Genkai.
It wouldnāt have been that big of a problem if Danzo didnāt have such a character and ambition, but that guy wants to unite the entire Shinobi World, and for that, he can do almost anythingā¦ this makes him an extremely dangerous and unstable existence!
Homusubi glanced at Orochimaru and said lightly, āYou are too worriedā¦ā
āI am too worried?!ā Orochimaru frowned, and said, āDonāt you realizeā¦ if your theories are correct, which they areā¦ and if Danzo succeeds in the ritual ceremonyā¦ he will acquire seven Kekkei Genkai! Thatās full seven Kekkei Genkai! He would be unstoppable by then! And once he succeeds, we will be the ones he will come after at that timeā¦ doesnāt this scare you in the slightest?!ā
Sharingan, Wood Release, Crystal Release, Dark Release, Swift Release, Boil Release, and Storm Releaseā¦ Success in acquiring these Seven Kekkei Genkai would mean successful fusion of all the seven Chakra naturesā¦ The fusion of two Chakra Natures and three Chakra Natures alone is so powerfulā¦ what would happen if all these seven Chakra Natures are fusedā¦
The more Orochimaru thinks about it, the more he feels that they are trying to step into the territory of Godsā¦ And if all the seven Chakra Natures really merge within Danzo, then he will definitely become an existence no inferior to a Godā¦ A God created by Humansā¦ A God created by science!
Orochimaru feels that calling it āProject Godhoodā a project of creating a God seems more reasonable.
