Chapter 168: The Unrelenting Teacher (2)

This time Hiruzen sucked on his pipe's heavenly smoky essence and filled his lungs with nicotine while thinking of the damages one jutsu could cause. His pipe happened to be slightly useful in calming his nerves as he looks at the trio standing in front of him and blows a plume of smoke, uncaring if any of the three in the front were fretful of the secondhand smoking.

"Taiyogan... appropriate name, I think." Hiruzen groans softly and looks at Minato. His aged gaze sizes up Minato's right palm, particularly, the burnt skin of his palm, "But from the description of it, be it its use, formation, or even the consequences of using the Jutsu, its expenditure is too much even for an experienced Jonin much less a chunin. For the time being, this Jutsu is not only categorized as S-ranked but also a forbidden jutsu until you learn how to make it more... mobile."

Hiruzen's words really didn't leave any space for negotiations. Being classified as a forbidden jutsu, Minato cannot teach Taiyogan to anyone else even if he wants to without being branded as a rogue nin.

"As for the destruction of Training Ground 54... Team Minato shall complete 19 C-ranked missions and 8 B-ranked missions in the next 4 years to compensate for the losses."

Minato's shoulder instantly slumped and Jiraiya fought for his disciple, "Sensei, that's too harsh. Cut the boy some slack. See? Didn't he create an awesome jutsu? Is it necessary to chain down a talent with punishment"

"Do you think B and C-ranked missions can recover from these losses?" Hiruzen cuts in sharply with his aged brows furrowing tighter, "This happened under your supervision. What Minato-kun's side lack will be covered by you through 5 A-ranked missions within a year. We're having another rise of high-ranked missions as of late."

Jiraiya's jaw hung open and Hiruzen finally shifts his gaze toward Kai.

"I shall wordlessly accept 100 D-ranked missions, 80 C-ranked missions, 50 B-ranked missions, and 10 A-ranked missions," Kai speaks with a solemn expression.

"That will not be necessary," Hiruzen rejects flatly. This is a punishment for their carelessness. Giving Kai a mission is akin to rewarding him, that much is clear, even if the revenue from these missions will only go to the teammate and the village as Minato's and Jiraiya's cut will be used to reconstruct the training ground.

"I think I need some missions to rectify my carelessness," Kai's gaze twinkles.

"I believe your current behavior is enough," Hiruzen smiles 'kindly' and lowers his head to read whatever document he has on his table, "You three may leave. The administration will find appropriate missions for you." Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

The trio left with disappointed expressions as Hiruzen, too, decided to smoke for a few more minutes before putting his pipe out.

"I can't believe Taiyogan got strapped by the forbidden jutsu's rule," Minato sighs, "I really wanted to share my experience with you, Kai-san. Maybe we could have devised a similar jutsu for other elements. I'm sure they would have varied effects."

"It's better to be tagged forbidden due to the reason of it being self-harming than anything else," Jiraiya reveals as they walk out of the academy.

"What do you mean, Sensei?" Minato questions and the white-haired novelist sighs deeply, "Forbidden Jutsus used to be about more self-harming methods but two individuals changed this situation because of their perverse capabilities in researching concepts of chakra and creating Jutsu that would step on too many toes..."

"Do you mean the Second Hokage?" Kai inquires.

"And the Second Tsuchikage. Both of these Kage's techniques are considered forbidden and are handled by the village instead of the clan. The forbidden jutsus created by Tobirama Senju are not even placed within the directory of the Senju Clan and instead kept in protection within the Hokage's estate."

"Do you know more dangerous reasons for a Jutsu to get tagged forbidden?" Minato hums and contemplates, "What reason other than committing harm to oneself is more dangerous?"

Jiraiya looks at the duo but doesn't answer the question directly and shakes his head, "Second Hokage has created some pretty crazy stuff. Maybe you'll get to see them later but no point in discussing them now, is there?"

"I think that other than self-harm, a Jutsu that is too good to be true can be considered Forbidden, right?" Kai, however, stays on topic and decides to geek it out with Minato who considers the situation and adds, "Like a jutsu that has no cost?"

"Or a Jutsu that is the best device to infiltrate and assassinate?" Kai grins.

"Like Hiraishin?" Minato's gaze sparkles.

"No, it still has some restrictions. For instance, we need to have physical contact to place our Hiraishin marks and that defeats the purpose of surprising the enemy..." Kai touches his chin and then glances at Minato, "You want to get your hand healed?"

"I'm not embarrassed anymore, dattebane," Kushina snorts, "If Kai can be a perv and hang out with Jiraiya-san who is a bigger perv. I can be a perv, too!"

"Yeah, that's the embarrassing fact," Nono rolls her eyes, "You don't want to end up a perv. It's really hard. Your imagination constantly dries your throat and boy you can make some weird stuff with genjutsu."

Others look at Nono as the sound of the sink's tap turning on travels out to the living room and after a few minutes, Kakashi walks out, "I've eaten my dinner. Thank you for the food."

Kai waves at him, "Sorry about this."

"You should be apologizing to me," Kushina shoots him an annoyed stare as Kai rolls his eyes, "You keep on saying as if we would even do anything other than eat food on our dates. At least, with Mikoto and Tsunade, I get"

"Not another word!" Mikoto snaps with her cheeks flushing lightly as she turns to look at Kakashi, "To your room, now. I need to have a chat with my fiance and... her."

"What did I do?" Kai and Kushina speak up simultaneously and then look at each other, adding in perfect sync, "It's your fault!"

"If I may add," Nono smiles, "It's really biology's fault. Hormones and stuff..."

"Stay out of it," Mikoto groans and hold Kai's and Kushina's hands before dragging them into her room, for an earful, most likely.

Meanwhile, Nono looks at Kakashi and smiles, "If you aren't too bored, would you help me cook breakfast tomorrow?"

Kakashi thinks for a moment before nodding.

"Hmm, the bath is ready. You should take one before sleeping. We four usually take a bath together so we will go in after you."

Kakashi nods again and leaves while Nono wonders quietly, 'Maybe Kai would look great with white hair... maybe glasses, too? And... hehe... an open jacket... his body oiled up with nothing underneath...'

She quickly shakes her head and giggles to herself, 'I should describe this to Jiraiya-san and read what he comes up with.'

She skips to the kitchen rightly so and sits down to eat quietly. But unlike Kakashi who had peace throughout as he slowly came to terms with Sakumo's 'disappearance', Nono's thoughts were chaotic. Luridly so.
