Today, Sasuke was quite happy. After all, both his brother and Akira came together to pick him up from school. Seeing Sasuke's cheerful expression, Uchiha Akira couldn't help but smile as well.
At the same time, he felt a bit envious.
Look at us, all the same age, yet here I am, working tirelessly for the future of the Uchiha clan. And Sasuke? He's still just an innocent child attending classes at the ninja academy.
Sigh, I'm only seven years old too. I shouldn't have to carry all these burdens...
Shaking his head slightly, Akira pushed these chaotic thoughts out of his mind and greeted Sasuke warmly.
Soon, the three of them turned to head back to the Uchiha clan's compound.
"Wait up, show-off Sasuke!" A childish voice suddenly called out.
A boy, around six or seven years old, came running up to them. He had short blonde hair and bright blue eyes that resembled the ocean.
Akira immediately recognized him: it was Naruto Uzumaki, the protagonist of the original story.
Hearing a classmate calling out to Sasuke, Itachi and the others naturally stopped.
"What do you want?" Sasuke asked, not too pleased about his joyful moment being interrupted.
"I'm definitely going to beat you one day!" Naruto shouted, clenching his little fists tightly.
"Hmph!" Sasuke scoffed, his face showing clear disdain. He didn't even try to hide his contempt.
Indeed, the First Hokage's Wood Style was unique to him, and it was with this technique that he dominated the ninja world.
"No, that's not it," Akira shook his head.
"Then, is it his Sage Body? It's said that the First Hokage had an incredibly strong physique, capable of healing from any wound almost instantly," Itachi pondered and offered another guess.
"Still no," Akira shook his head again.
"Then I'm not sure," Itachi admitted, confused. After all, the First Hokage's strength was widely known to come from his Wood Style and his Sage Body. He had never heard of any particular strategic genius being attributed to the First Hokage.
"The First Hokage's true strength was in his 'Talk no Jutsu,'" Akira said.
"Talk no Jutsu?" Itachi was baffled.
He knew of the five elemental releases and even special releases like Lava, Magnet, Storm, and Dust, but what on earth was Talk no jutsu?
"It's the ability to persuade others, to make them believe in him," Akira explained.
Starting from Asura and continuing with his later reincarnations, this was a defining characteristic.
Think about it, in the original story, Madara had a stronger brother complex than even Itachi. But in the end, after the First Hokage used his Talk no jutsu, Madara willingly knelt down and helped him establish the Hidden Leaf Village.
"I see!" Itachi finally understood.
"So, Naruto Uzumaki possesses a similar power-an incredibly strong Talk no Jutsu."
"In the ninja world, there's almost no one who can resist it," Akira concluded with a nod.
