Chapter 64 - 64: Mission Accepted! Four Powerful Techniques!
In truth, Sarutobi had originally intended for Naruto to steal the Scroll of Seals as part of his plan. However, what he hadn't anticipated was Makoto tagging along with Naruto.
As for why he allowed Makoto to learn the techniques within the scroll alongside Naruto, there were several reasons behind his decision.
First and foremost, Makoto's background was spotless and untainted by any suspicion. His parents had belonged to the former Ito family, which was regarded as a younger sibling branch of the Sarutobi clan.
His father had been a staunch supporter of the Sarutobi, ensuring that their relationship remained politically stable and secure.
Furthermore, Makoto had recently begun to stand out as a prodigy at the Academy, drawing comparisons to legendary figures such as Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Minato.
These were all ninjas who had come from civilian backgrounds yet had risen to become some of the most powerful and renowned individuals in the ninja world.
Given Makoto's extraordinary talent, Sarutobi couldn't help but wonder if he, too, might follow in the footsteps of these legendary figures. He even considered the possibility that Makoto could become the next Jiraiya.
Yet now, Makoto had not only met but exceeded Sarutobi's expectations. He was well aware of just how challenging it was to master the forbidden techniques contained within the scroll, making Makoto's achievement all the more remarkable.
After concluding his speech on the Will of Fire, Sarutobi reached out and patted Makoto on the head.
"Kid, you must work hard! I look forward to the day when you grow into a towering tree!" Sarutobi showed a gentle smile.
However, upon witnessing this scene, Tobirama could no longer contain his frustration.
[Senju Tobirama: What a hypocrite! Look at that fake smile! It's absolutely nauseating! Damn bastard! I can't stand the sight of his face! Makoto, slap him for me!]
[Makoto Ito: Are you serious? Just a while ago, you went back on your word and refused to give me a forbidden technique. And now you're telling me to slap the Third Hokage?]
[Senju Tobirama: But you're so close to him right now! Just go for it! Give him a slap! No, better yet, kick him in the crotch!]
[Makoto Ito: Oh, sure, and then what? Get branded as a traitor and hunted down by every ninja in the village? Yeah, no thanks.]
[Senju Tobirama: You coward! Where's that fire from earlier? You were all pumped up before! What happened? Fine! If it's about benefits, I'll make it worth your while. What do you say?]
[Makoto Ito: Damn it, you should have said that first!If you give me the Flying Thunder God technique, I'll slap him twice on the spot!]
[Senju Tobirama: Do I look like an idiot to you? I'll give you a Water Style technique. Deal?]
[Makoto Ito: Seriously? One measly Water Style technique? You expect me to slap the Hokage for that? Would you do it if you were me?]
[Senju Tobirama: ...Fine, two Water Style techniques.]
[Makoto Ito: Still not enough.]
[Senju Tobirama: Alright! I'll throw in the Bringer of Darkness technique too!]
[Makoto Ito: ...One more technique, and we have a deal.]
[Senju Tobirama: Damn it! Why are you so greedy for techniques?! Alright, here is the final offer. Bringer of Darkness, Tandem Paper Bombs, and two Water Style techniques. Take it or leave it!]
[Makoto Ito: Alright, deal! Don't worry, Grandpa, I'll make sure to deliver!]
[Senju Tobirama: Hmph! You better follow through, kid]
[Makoto Ito: Of course! But let's be clear, payment first. I'm not doing this for free.]
[Senju Tobirama: Listen up, brat! I want to see Sarutobi bleed today, not just a little, but a lot! If he doesn't bleed profusely, you can forget about getting any techniques from me in the future!]
[Makoto Ito: No problem! I'll make sure he bleeds so much he won't be able to stop! You'll be more than satisfied. I'll handle everything perfectly! after all, you've already paid up!]
Tobirama hesitated for a moment, wondering if he could really trust this kid.
But after some thought, he recalled that Makoto had always kept his word when it came to deals. With that in mind, he decided to take the risk and trust him.
A notification popped up in the group chat.
[Group member Senju Tobirama has gifted group leader Ito Makoto the following techniques: Bringer of Darkness Technique, Tandem Paper Bombs, Water Style: Water Barrier, Water Style: Water Colliding Wave!]
Makoto quickly accepted the techniques without hesitation. Two Forbidden Techniques and two powerful Water Style Techniques was a huge gain!
With the techniques now in his possession, Makoto was ready to act. He had made a promise, and in the ninja world, integrity was everything.
Even if it meant putting his life on the line, he would see it through. He would make sure Hiruzen bled!

Makoto called out with a innocent look on his face. "Lord Hokage!"
Sarutobi turned his attention to him, slightly puzzled. Hadn't they just finished discussing the Will of Fire? What else could Makoto possibly want to talk about?
"What is it, Makoto? Is there something about the Will of Fire you didn't understand?"
Makoto scratched the back of his head with an awkward grin. "Well, I've learned a new technique and would like to demonstrate it for you!"

Sarutobi raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Oh?"
Was this another jutsu from the Scroll of Seals? Something even more impressive than Rasengan?
Iruka and Naruto turned their attention to Makoto after hearing his words.
Makoto smirked, his hands swiftly forming seals as excitement filled his expression.
"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"
In an instant, the air was filled with loud pops as smoke exploded around him. One by one, Makoto's clones materialized, surrounding Sarutobi on all sides.
Sarutobi's eyes widened in shock. 'Did he also learn the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique?!'
Before he could fully process the situation, Makoto's clones had already closed in, and Sarutobi had yet to realize what was about to happen!
