When Shūichi Hoshita returned ho that evening, he washed up and ate dinner before starting his attempt to fully convert the mory Palace into a ninjutsu or sealing technique.
This task was no easy feat, but fortunately, Shūichi had a solid grasp of basic sealing techniques thanks to his work on explosive tags, and he was also well-versed in talismans.
Moreover, Shūichi wasn't aiming to imdiately turn the mory Palace into an A-rank or S-rank technique. His initial goal was simply to store the mories returned by the Shadow Clone Jutsu directly into the mory Palace.
This application was actually similar to the explosive tags he had been working on.
However, since it involved his brain, Shūichi proceeded with extre caution and refrained from any reckless experints, focusing instead on designing the technique.
He decided that once he had made so progress, he would consult Tsunade for guidance.
The night passed uneventfully.
Konoha Year 39, March 16th.
After his morning training and a hearty breakfast, Shūichi wrapped dical bandages around his forearms and calves. These bandages, soaked in a special dicinal solution, helped alleviate muscle fatigue and could also be used to stop bleeding.
Next, he donned a black combat outfit, followed by a black jacket with white stripes. The jacket bore similar to the Uzumaki clan's swirl pattern on the shoulders, arms, and back.
He also equipped himself with iron bracers and armguards, as well as his ninja tool pouch, with the Totsuka chakra blade sheathed at his back.
Once fully prepared, Shūichi left his house, moving swiftly through the village to the front of the Hokage's office, where he waited.
It wasn't long before he noticed a sowhat familiar figure approaching.
"Uchiha Shisui?"
Shūichi blinked.
The boy across from him seed to notice Shūichi staring and offered a friendly smile.
Shūichi smiled back, then decided to approach and introduce himself. "Hello, I'm Hoshita Shūichi."
"Hello, I'm Uchiha Shisui," Shisui responded warmly. "I've heard of you, Shūichi-kun. Graduating from the Ninja Academy at six years old is quite impressive."
Shūichi replied, "There are many who graduate at this age. Sotis, graduating early isn't necessarily a good thing."
If he had co from a ninja clan with abundant resources, he wouldn't have chosen to graduate early. He would have preferred to stay in the academy for the full six years.
Shisui paused at Shūichi's words, then thoughtfully nodded in agreent. "You're right, Shūichi-kun."
At that mont, a figure landed beside Shisui. "Shisui, you're early as usual."
The newcor then turned to Shūichi. "And who might this be?"
Shisui smiled and introduced them. "This is Hoshita Shūichi. I think he's our new teammate."
The boy gasped. "Hoshita Shūichi, the one who graduated at six?"
Shisui then introduced him to Shūichi. "Shūichi-kun, this is Sanyō Kurama, from the Kurama clan."
An Uchiha and a mber of the Kurama clan as teammates?
Shūichi was a bit surprised but politely greeted Sanyō. "I'm Hoshita Shūichi. It's a pleasure to et you, Sanyō-senpai."
Sanyō quickly waved off the honorific. "No need to call 'senpai.' Shisui and I only graduated a year ago; we're still newbies ourselves."
Only a year of experience?
So, Shisui might be two years older than ?
Shūichi was a bit surprised.
His impression was that Shisui wasn't much older than Uchiha Itachi.
But then again, considering Shisui's reputation for his Shunshin no Shisui (Body Flicker Shisui), it was likely that he earned his fa during the Third Shinobi World War and after the Fourth Hokage's death, especially during the clashes with the Hidden Mist.
Even if Shisui was five years older than Itachi, he would have been only around ten years old at that ti.
A ten-year-old jōnin with a fully matured Sharingan? That's pretty terrifying.
Additionally, Uchiha Shisui is a descendant of Uchiha Kagami, who died quite early and was significantly younger than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's grandson, Konohamaru, is much younger than Naruto and his friends.
Therefore, it's most likely that Shisui is the son of Uchiha Kagami.
When did Uchiha Kagami die?
The most probable ti would be during the Second Shinobi World War.
So, it makes sense that Shisui is a year or two older than Kakashi and the others.
Shūichi quickly ca to accept the fact that Uchiha Shisui was older than him. The three chatted casually and soon beca quite familiar with each other.
Clearly, none of them were difficult to get along with.
"It seems you all get along well."
A voice suddenly called out.
Shūichi and the others quickly looked over.
"Minato-sensei!"
Shisui was the first to step forward and bow respectfully. Sanyō Kurama followed suit, excitedly bowing as well. "Minato-sensei, are you our new squad leader?"
Looking at Minato Namikaze, Shūichi was even more surprised than when he saw Uchiha Shisui.
Minato was still very young, around 15 years old.
Having Minato Namikaze as his team leader was completely unexpected for Shūichi.
He had thought of Jiraiya, or even Kakashi's father, Sakumo Hatake, or perhaps a jōnin from the Sarutobi clan, but never Minato Namikaze.
However, thinking about Minato's identity, it seed quite reasonable.
So, Shūichi, though a bit delayed, stepped forward and bowed. "Minato Sensei, I am Shūichi Hoshita."
All of them were polite and amiable, without any of the arrogance that often accompanies geniuses.
Minato Namikaze reflected on this privately and smiled. "Hello, I'm Minato Namikaze. From today on, I'll be your team leader."
"Let's find a place to talk!"
With that, Minato vanished.
Although Minato knew from Hiruzen Sarutobi that he was primarily assigned as the team leader due to Shūichi, Minato did not show this.
The three exchanged glances and quickly used Body Flicker Jutsu to follow him.
On a rooftop.
Minato watched as Shūichi and the others arrived and said with a smile, "Let's start with introductions so we can get to know each other better."
"I'll go first."
"You already know my na. I specialize in taijutsu, Body Flicker Jutsu, and Wind Release."
Uchiha Shisui then added, "I'm Uchiha Shisui. I excel in swordsmanship, genjutsu, Fire Release, Body Flicker Jutsu, and I have a single tomoe Sharingan."
Sanyō Kurama followed up, "I'm Sanyō Kurama, and I specialize in genjutsu."
Finally, everyone turned to Shūichi.
Shūichi imdiately said, "I'm Hoshita Shūichi. I specialize in Fire Release, Transformation Jutsu, and have a basic proficiency in dical Ninjutsu."
His dical Ninjutsu proficiency included the basic Healing Jutsu and a fundantal understanding of the more complex Mystical Palm Technique, though he was far from being proficient.
He was certain that even without the "Fire Release Expert" tag, he had so natural talent in Fire Release, which, combined with the "Scholar" tag, made the effects more pronounced.
dical Ninjutsu was different, as his talent was relatively weaker, and the effort required was much greater.
Being able to learn the Mystical Palm Technique in such a short ti was thanks to the boost from his tags.
Minato smiled upon hearing this. "Then, from now on, Shūichi will be our team's dical Ninja."
In a team, the dical Ninja is often the one who is protected.
Of course, from the enemy's perspective, the dical Ninja is also the first to be targeted.
