"…Huh." Daiki blinked, surprised.
'…No what is there to be surprised about? While they are indeed incredibly powerful and talented, two of them are from civilian backgrounds,' Isobu deadpanned, making himself known for the first time in the day, 'You have me, a literal bijuu and everything going on in that seal of yours on your neck enhancing you, healing you, filling you with energy. Any other human would have long since died from the sheer amount of energy you have exuded in the last few days and if not that, just the sheer amount of injuries would have did.'
Sure, but it was still surprising. But, it was good news at least, it showed he truly was on the right path.
Or maybe he was delirious from one too many head wounds from being beaten unconscious from an utter monster of an old man.
'Eh, you've been fifty one cards shot of a deck since the moment I met you.' Isobu helpfully replied.
Daiki smirked and shrugged off the jibe, turning his attention back to the old man, "Good to know I'm the most badass student you've ever had," he replied, "So, what's on the menu for today? Same as usual?" he questioned, excitement once again filling him at the thought.
Truly, these five days had been a grind paradise.
Honestly, the only bad thing he had to say about it, was that it sucked he hadn't finished his seal to integrate Shisui's Sharingan. If he did, he'd have been able to copy literally every prolific taijutsu style the Leaf Village had to offer from the old man during their spars.
"Actually, we're going to be doing something a little different today," Hiruzen shook his head, "I was initially going to hold off on this until after the Chunin Exams when I would have more time to teach you, but after what I've seen of you the past five days, I believe you may be able to get it down in these last two days."
Huh…well that sucked, he was all for getting more lightning jutsu from the man. With each one he learned after all, he felt his control over the element increase noticeably. Though that might just have to do with the fact the old man had not taught him a single low level technique.
Four of them had been B-rank, while the most powerful of them all, the Lightning Style: Thunder Dragon Tornado had been an A-rank.
And he'd been looking forward to trying to get the equipment shadow clone down as well.
'Oh well.' he shrugged mentally, if the old man specifically wanted to teach it to him, then it must have been something incredible, "Lay it on me old man."
"Confident as always I see, good ,you'll need it for this technique," Hiruzen nodded approvingly, "What I will be teaching you, is a very special technique that only those who have been considered for the Hokage position have been taught and requires a vast amount of chakra to use. So much so, that it requires three others on the level of a kage to use. Not even Kakashi-kun is capable of this technique."
The excitement that had dimmed roared to life once more, "Not even Kakashi huh?" he noted eagerly, "So who all from our Village can use it?"
He wanted to see just who exactly he was going to be comparing to here.
"It's a very short list, but if you want to know I suppose there's no harm," Hiruzen mused, "Well of course there is myself, but beyond me there is The Shodaime, the Nidaime and the Yondaime. Of course, you probably won't be surprised that Madara Uchiha learned the technique, or rather helped create it. From there, Sakumo Hatake, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, Tsunade, my old friend Danzo whom you've spoken to and Kushina Uzumaki. In the history of the Leaf Village only eleven people have mastered this technique, you will be the twelfth."
…Huh, that was a bigger list than he was expecting.
Something of what he said just clicked.
"Kushina Uzumaki was a Hokage candidate?" he gaped. That he did not know at all.
"Initially, before she gave up the idea in favour of Minato-kun," Hiruzen revealed, "Kushina-chan was a very powerful shinobi, perhaps the greatest seal master this village has ever seen, surpassing even Mito-sama. She had volumes of chakra that surpassed even mine and with her natural bloodline and abilities of being a pure blooded Uzumaki Jinchuuriki of the Kyuubi alongside her powerful wind and water jutsu, she was a force to be reckoned with."
Huh, that was interesting to know. While he'd always thought Kushina was a badass, a hot badass that was capable of even holding down the Kyuubi, he hadn't thought she'd been all that much stronger than a Jonin.
But no…according to the old man, she was stronger than Kakashi was. Interesting.
Though, sadly more trivia than anything now since her apparent strength was useless now.
What with her fine ass being a rotting corpse now.
"Neat, guess it's no wonder Naruto has such monstrous amounts of chakra then," he shrugged, as in according to Isobu the guy had like five times the amount of chakra Daiki himself had currently, "So, then what is this technique then?"
"It is called the Four Red Yang Formation," Hiruzen replied, "A technique so great, that when in use, not even the Kyuubi itself would be able to break out of."
Daiki's eyes widened in shock, '…Isn't that the technique the old man and the other previous Hokage used to literally box in the Juubi and no sell it's fucking Bijuudama?'
Now that was a technique worth learning!
'…Quite.' Isobu agreed and Daiki could hear the slight shock in the Bijuu's own tone.

You know it's funny, I actually have a spin off story of this where Daiki ends up lost in the multi-verse and travels through a bunch of different series to return to Konoha, though the point where it happens is quite far off from uploads on here, and even then I can't upload it here because I've already got the max amount of stories I can publish on here. It's called Systematic Shinobi: Multiverse Mayhem.
