Naruto The Thunder Calamity

Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Two Choices.



In the past, Sugisaki Koichi didn't understand what the Konohagakure Research Center was for.

After all, this organization was officially established after the war ended and began openly selecting talents from the ninja school.

For so many years, it has been silent.

But now, Sugisaki Koichi knows what the Konohagakure Research Center is for.

Permanent Senjutsu, which is said to permanently enhance a person's physical and mental strength.

It can even achieve immortality.

Honestly, Sugisaki Koichi doesn't believe it.

Immortality, don't be ridiculous.

How could such a technique exist?

But the names Raijin and Tsunade give this Permanent Senjutsu a bit of credibility.

In the Second Shinobi World War, Uchiha Raijin, the Thunder Sword Saint, single-handedly defeated the Four-Tails and Six-Tails, beat the Eight-Tails and Two-Tails, and killed the Third Raikage.

And Tsunade, the medical saint, provided medical aid to thousands of ninjas at the same time during the Second Shinobi World War.

It is precisely because of the existence of these two top Konohagakure powerhouses, representing the two great families of Konohagakure.

Sugisaki Koichi finally made up his mind to give it a try.

After all, compared to these two strong people, he was just a mere Genin.

And unlike Uchiha Raijin, who could kill Tailed beast with a single sword strike when he was a Genin, Sugisaki Koichi knew very well that he was just an ordinary Genin.

A Genin who graduated more than three years ago and only learned one Earth Release Wall technique...

For three years, he practiced hand signs, Taijutsu, and chakra control whenever he had free time.

But he never improved beyond his current level.

Not even a little bit.

So, Sugisaki Koichi understood that if nothing unexpected happened, he might be a Genin for life.

Following his team, doing low-level tasks, earning some money, and not starving on the streets when he got old.

Or, dying in some dangerous mission.

So, Koichi Sugisaki wanted to take a chance and see if he could go further.

If he died... then he died.

In this experiment, the compensation for his death was more than he could ever earn in his life. It was his way of showing filial piety to his parents.

Walking down the hallway of the research center, the sound of his shoes hitting the floor echoed clearly.

The hallway was very quiet, except for his footsteps and his pounding heartbeat.

He swallowed nervously and followed the Anbu to a door.

"Knock knock knock."

The Anbu gently knocked on the door.

"Click."

The door opened quickly, and Sugisaki Koichi saw a young man in a light blue trench coat.

Two swords, one long and one short, hung diagonally at his waist, with a small red gourd dangling between the handles, topped with a metal ornament.

The clothes under the trench coat were a bit loose, with warm colors, giving a cozy feeling.

So handsome.

People always said the Uchiha clan was good-looking, but Sugisaki Koichi never believed it. He had seen Uchiha before and didn't think they were that attractive.

Their arrogant demeanor was off-putting.

But at this moment, Sugisaki Koichi had to admit that the Uchiha clan was indeed very good-looking.

Or rather... Raijin was really handsome.

Yes, Sugisaki Koichi recognized the person in front of him, who looked younger than him.

The Thunder Sword Saint of Konohagakure—Uchiha Raijin!

The blue diamond-shaped mark on his forehead, representing the Yin Seal, already revealed his identity.

In Konohagakure, only one man had learned the Yin Seal, and that was Uchiha Raijin.

The blue diamond-shaped mark not only held a large amount of chakra but also carried Tsunade's love for Uchiha Raijin.

It was a technique developed by Tsunade's grandmother, Uzumaki Mito, at Tsunade-hime's request when she was young.

And because of this technique, Koichi Sugisaki recognized the man in front of him and the two legendary swords.

The Kusanagi Sword, given by Raijin's companion, Orochimaru, known as the Calamity Wind, and the Futsunomitama, a combination of the Thunder Sword: Kiba, captured by Raijin in the Second Shinobi World War and refined by Orochimaru-sama.

And the sealing gourd, also developed by Orochimaru, said to be made of the strongest alloy created by Raijin.

His heartbeat quickened at this moment.

Sugisaki Koichi couldn't help but swallow, looking at the important figure in front of him, someone who was usually hard to meet.

Sweat began to form on Sugisaki Koichi's forehead.

As the Anbu left, Raijin's gaze fell on Sugisaki Koichi.

"You seem nervous?"

"Huh? Ah! No! I'm not nervous..."

Sugisaki Koichi tried to stay calm as he spoke to Raijin.

"Come in."

Seeing this, Raijin smiled helplessly, let go of the door handle, and turned to walk into the room.

Sugisaki Koichi followed Raijin into the room, feeling a bit uneasy.

Entering the room, Sugisaki Koichi saw who was inside.

The white-haired, wrinkled, slightly hunched figure, could it be the Second Hokage-sama?

The white-haired ninja with paint under his eyes... could it be the legendary Toad Sage Jiraiya?

The black-haired wind calamity Orochimaru... the blonde medical saint Tsunade... and the bearded ninja world professor Sarutobi...

"Bang!"

A dull sound made Sugisaki Koichi look back, only to find the door had closed...

Was this the Magnet Release developed by Raijin-sama? "Come, sit."

A gentle voice brought Sugisaki Koichi's attention back to Raijin.

Raijin pointed to two mats on the floor and spoke to Sugisaki Koichi.

Sugisaki Koichi obediently sat on the mat, and Raijin sat in front of him.

"Next, you have two choices."
