Chapter 71: Same Spiritualism, Difference
Chapter 71: Same Spiritualism, but a Different Sense...
On the outskirts of Konoha, Minato Namikaze's home.
Kushina came back from buying groceries in the morning and was worrying about what to cook today, or what excuse to find to go to Yuhi Kurenai's for a meal.
result.
Before she opened the door, she sensed something was slightly wrong.
When she reached the door, Kushina's eyes widened, and then she took out her key.
Click...
When I opened the door, a burst of fragrance filled my nose.
Kushina's eyes were moist, and she immediately ran into the house with the dishes, threw the dishes directly to the place and rushed towards Minato.
"You are finally back!"
"We have guests! Ha, ha, ha..."
Minato called Kushina down and then apologized to Uzumaki Yuki.
The little girl was calm.
She looked at Kushina quietly, there was no excitement in her eyes, only calmness, and even when their eyes met, Kushina could feel a strong malice.
The long-awaited reunion that Kushina had expected did not end in joy, but instead in unfamiliarity and hatred.
Why……
She was dumbfounded on the spot and didn't know what to do for a moment.
"Kushina?"
Minato tilted his head in confusion and looked at his wife.
Why does Kushina have this expression?
"I am Jiu..."
Kushina quickly introduced herself.
"Uzumaki Kushina, I know, my grandmother told me about you."
Uzumaki Yuki answered.
Kushina smiled stiffly, then looked at Minato: "Sorry, I didn't know you were coming, so I didn't buy too many vegetables. I'll go to the street to buy some more..."
"I'll go. I guess you haven't had breakfast yet. There's breakfast ready in the pot."
Minato smiled.
Then he turned and walked down the street.
Kushina looked at the girl from the same clan with a dim gaze.
"do you hate me?"
"hatred?"
Uzumaki Yuki thought about it, shook her head, and said calmly, "I just don't like you."
She paused for a moment and said, "The village was destroyed, and the survivors wandered around. Only you lived happily in Konoha and had a husband who loved you very much."
"Should I like you?"
She said it directly.
It was so direct that Kushina was speechless and couldn't answer the girl's question for a long time.
……
Konoha Hospital.
Jingyan came here as soon as he left the Hokage building.
Yesterday, Xi Ri Hong went to him for advice.
Logically speaking, Xirihong must have tried it, so why is there no feedback yet?
In addition, if I become a jonin, perhaps the team will be reorganized.
With all kinds of doubts, he came to the hospital.
When he got outside Tsunade's lab, he heard a voice coming from inside the room.
"Not bad, the control is very delicate, this is your advantage, but your physique is relatively poor, so the chakra will be less, you must pay attention to saving every bit of chakra..."
Tsunade's voice.
"Yes, teacher, I will work harder!"
This is the voice of Xihi Kurenai.
Jingyan stopped.
Tsunade accepted Kurenai Yuhi as her disciple!
No wonder...
He understood it all at once.
He skipped the Chunin and was promoted to Jonin. Kakashi in the team was also a Chunin, and he was put into their team because he had conflicts with others and could not cooperate with them.
Now, Yuhi Kurenai is going to learn medical treatment from Tsunade——
She started late and needed to spend more time studying medicine, so she definitely couldn't follow them on the mission.
People like Haruno Sakura and Ino in later generations also experienced similar periods.
pretty good!
According to this, Tsunade should have been cured as well.
He turned and left.
however.
When he reached the door, a soft voice caught his attention amid the noisy voices in the lobby on the first floor.
"Can Lady Tsunade cure it?"
"Although Lady Tsunade has returned to the village, she has not had surgery in a long time. I heard that something went wrong."
"Ah? This... can't be!"
The whispers in the corner usually don't attract attention.
but.
This is a hospital.
Jing Yan glanced over and saw two people communicating in the corner, just like "just strangers".
He didn't stop and walked out of the hospital.
Once outside, Jingyan took a walk around the village.
Apart from the hospital, there was not much discussion about other places.
After turning around, he transformed and returned to the hospital again, but the two men had disappeared.
……
At night, a figure quietly came to Tsunade's residence.
Inside the house, Tsunade opened her eyes instantly.
She walked over to the bed.
Just as I was waiting cautiously, there was a gentle knock on the window and door from outside, and a low sound came from outside.
"sister."
"..."
Tsunade opened the window.
Whoosh!
Jingyan jumped in and huddled in the corner.
"Don't turn on the light."
"what happened?"
Tsunade frowned and looked outside through the gap in the curtains.
No one!
"I'm not sure if anyone is observing, so we can just talk casually."
Jingyan whispered.
Tsunade immediately became serious -
Although they had only known each other for a short time, she knew that Jingyan was rarely so cautious in the village.
"What happened?"
"During the day, I heard ..."
Jingyan told what he saw and heard.
Tsunade's brows relaxed and she smiled, "What's the big deal? I really haven't had surgery for a long time. It's normal for them to have such thoughts."
"Let me ask, is your hemophobia cured?"
"Thanks to your guidance, Hong and her father successfully researched and cured me."
Tsunade spoke gently.
Then, she sighed softly: "That technique... is too beautiful, it's easy to make people addicted. I don't know how to use it yet, I'm still thinking about it."
It turned out to be like this...
No wonder there is no feedback, I don’t know how to use it.
Jingyan understood immediately.
The virtual world is fake, but it is indeed addictive.
but.
The point is-
Tsunade is ready!
Jing Yan laughed softly and said, "Sister, I have an idea. Since you are already well, why not pretend that you are still suffering from hemophobia and wait and see what happens next to see if I am overly suspicious or if someone is really playing tricks on me."
"If it doesn't involve major surgery, then it's fine..."
Tsunade pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
She squinted her eyes and looked outside. "If there is someone behind this, it can only be Danzo. However, Danzo may not only represent his own ideas. He may also be instructed or used."
"You mean?"
"Don't underestimate my teacher. He fought his way through the most chaotic times."
Tsunade said seriously.
It seems that there is something between Tsunade and the Third Hokage that I don't know.
Jingyan understood.
"Anyway, pay more attention and see if anyone is talking about this."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."
Then, the two exchanged some recent information.
After hearing some quiet and subtle noises from below, Jingyan said goodbye and cancelled the shadow clone.
……
One month later.
While exercising, Jingyan also paid attention to the discussions around Konoha.
Public opinion in the village is indeed changing.
Before, when Tsunade came back, many people respected her, but now some people are saying that Tsunade is ill and is no longer the same as before.
Everything was just as he wanted.
On this day, the vests and approvals for the jonin had come down.
Kyouhiko goes to the Hokage building to be conferred.
The process was not complicated, but the moment I took over the vest, the system prompt sounded at the right time.
[You personally trained a genius jonin! ]
[Reward: Water Array Wall Level Upgrade]
Tsk!
Thank myself for trying so hard.
Jingyan sighed inwardly, then quickly checked his memory.
Master-level water array wall!
At the master level, he was able to control it more freely. In fact, he had already done many things before. After completing the master level upgrade, he was able to do it all in one step. The key point was -
Simplify the seal!
The technique that originally required 6 seals can be simplified to 2 seals after reaching the master level.
Saving 4 seals was very important in the battle, needless to say, and the analysis of the water array wall seal made Jing Yan amazed.
Senju Tobirama is indeed a genius!
This is just the water wall.
There are so many seals in Water Dragon Bomb. One can imagine how much effort it takes to omit, simplify, and create new seals.
However, he himself has not gained nothing during this period.
Shui Luanbo was able to reach the master level through his own efforts. The reason was very simple—
He incorporated the property change technique of "compression".
Today's water waves can be condensed into bundles to increase the killing effect.
Regrettably.
Jingyan's mastery of nature changes has not reached the level of Senju Tobirama, and he cannot reach the level of Suidanbo for the time being, but it is enough to make up for his lack of range damage.
A glance across the panel.
He was quite satisfied, but still felt something was missing.
Jingyan took the vest.
When they got outside, Kakashi leaned against the door, his eyes revealing envy.
He already knew about Jingyan's promotion.
In fact, this matter could not be concealed. A week ago, the story of the youngest jonin had already spread throughout Konoha.
"teacher."
Jingyan looked up.
Jiraiya coughed lightly, put away the telescope and jumped down from the building.
Then, he said seriously: "Hong is practicing in the hospital, forget about celebrating. Today, I will mainly focus on your practice. I will give you some suggestions."
"Yes!" "Come with me."
Jiraiya took the lead.
After a while, the three arrived at the edge of the Death Forest.
It's quiet and empty here.
Generally speaking, experimental ninjutsu would be conducted here.
Jiraiya looked at the two of them.
"Kurena has been temporarily called up by Tsunade, so your team will face a reorganization. The team has been roughly decided. You, Might Guy, and Minato will form a team of four to take on missions above A-rank."
Being above level A means that powerful ninjas will definitely be involved in future missions, and the mission objectives will be more important than before.
The remuneration has also increased exponentially.
however.
It is also more difficult.
"Regarding ninjutsu training, do you have any ideas of your own?"
Jiraiya asked.
Kakashi thought for a moment and said, "As for me, I might study the changes in the properties of various attributes and try to integrate them into my swordsmanship."
"Various properties change?"
Jiraiya thought of Kakashi's sword that cut through the kunai.
That should be a sword technique that is derived from the changes in the nature of lightning escape.
It’s also a good idea.
He thought for a moment.
"I'll go back and sort it out and give you some information later."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Kakashi thanked him in surprise.
Ninjutsu knowledge was precious, and he didn't have much of it at home.
Jiraiya waved his hand: "You already called me teacher, what is there to thank me for?"
He looked at Jingyan.
"What about you?"
"My next step is to learn the Lightning Release Ninjutsu."
Jingyan answered.
Kakashi asked in surprise, "Why?"
He has already learned Lightning Release, and as far as the team is concerned, they can cooperate and help each other, and Jingyan can fully develop another kind of ninjutsu.
For example, fire escape and wind escape.
"The strength of the Iwagakure Village has recovered very quickly. According to current intelligence, they have appeared in the Land of Hot Springs and the Land of Grass. If a war comes, we will definitely clash with them."
Jingyan expressed his concerns.
Kakashi was silent for a moment.
Lightning Release restrains Earth Release. If we go to war with the Hidden Rock Village, it would be more useful to have one more person who masters Lightning Release.
This……
He felt extremely ashamed.
He doesn't have a strong goal in improving his own abilities, but Jingyan arranges his study time based on future needs and expectations, which shows the difference between the two.
but.
"As for Lightning Release, we can communicate and learn from each other."
"Okay, as for water jutsu, I should also try to learn one or two more range ninjutsu."
Jingyan tells his plan.
Jiraiya was both relieved and ashamed——
Fortunately, Jingyan is as smart as ever and understands what he needs without any guidance from others.
Sadly, he is pretty useless as a teacher.
After thinking for a while, Jiraiya took out the scroll.
"You can only practice ninjutsu on your own, but there is one thing I can help you with."
He opened the scroll.
Several names appeared above, including Jiraiya and Minato Namikaze.
This is the scroll of spiritual contract!
Kakashi recognized it.
He was very surprised, and then said: "Teacher, I already have a spiritual contract..."
They, the Hatake clan, possess the scroll of the contract with the ninja dog.
"There's no rule that you can only contract one kind, but the toads of Myoboku Mountain can provide you with considerable help at critical moments."
Jiraiya said.
"Thank you, teacher!"
Jingyan wrote his name on the scroll without hesitation.
Myoboku Mountain is one of the three holy places and one of the few places in the ninja world where one can learn immortal arts.
If you don't want an opportunity when it comes, you're a fool.
Seeing this, Kakashi hesitated for a moment and then wrote down his own name as well.
Afterwards, Jiraiya taught the secret of summoning.
Kakashi took a deep breath, then wiped the blood, made a seal and pressed himself to the ground.
The next moment, the ritual began.
"what?"
A small toad appeared, looking around in confusion, with a few bugs in its mouth.
It swallowed it with a slurp.
"Jiraiya, what's going on?"
The voice is more female.
"It's okay. Sorry, Gamachun. My disciple has communicated with you. Since you are eating, I won't disturb you."
Jiraiya pointed at Kakashi.
Kakashi greeted him, but Jiraiya and Kyohiko, who knew him well, knew that he was still somewhat disappointed.
This is too small!
After dismissing them, Jiraiya explained: "The size of a toad does not represent its strength. Like the toad Haru just now, it is good at ninjutsu and illusion. It is one of the few toads in Myoboku Mountain that has mastered some illusions."
Ninjutsu, genjutsu?
Kakashi was stunned and speechless.
Could it be that the areas I am good at are really ninjutsu and illusion?
Jiraiya looked towards Kyohiko.
"you try?"
"Ah."
Jingyan did the same.
Then, he felt the technique absorbing chakra continuously.
Something is wrong!
Jing Yan frantically refined and synthesized chakra until his face turned pale, and finally -
boom!
There was a loud noise.
The ground was directly cracked, and a relatively large toad appeared in front of the three people.
It moved its feet, and immediately the ground cracked.
Jiraiya immediately greeted him, "Da Li, I didn't expect you to come. Today my disciple is experimenting with summoning techniques!"
The powerful toad looked at Jingyan.
"You are the psychic me, right?"
"Hello, I am Ryomine Kyouhiko, Jiraiya-sensei's apprentice."
Jingyan greeted immediately.
Mighty Toad.
This one is so strong, no wonder it consumed so much of his chakra!
"If you have any questions, you can channel me next time."
The powerful toad responded.
Then, it un-channeled itself.
Kakashi standing aside had a blank expression on his face, doubting his life in his heart.
It is said that the abilities of the toads are different, but the destructive power of the two when they appear is obviously not on the same level, right?
He was speechless for a moment.
Jiraiya was a little embarrassed and couldn't make up for it. He coughed lightly and said, "Kakashi, maybe your chakra is less than Kyohiko's, and you are more suitable for illusions..."
"Yes, I will try my best."
Kakashi was only depressed for a moment, so he didn't really take it to heart.
There was no one else around.
Jing Yan looked around and said, "Teacher, the team has been reorganized. I don't know when I will leave the village to carry out the mission, but the current situation is not optimistic. You must help me."
He had a premonition.
The Third Hokage or Danzo might transfer him away from Konoha in the near future.
"You mean, the recent rumors?"
Jiraiya saw this and also became serious.
Jingyan nodded.
He synchronized with him the information he had picked up during his recent exercise.
Not valid information.
but.
Small things add up to a big one, and it will definitely be a huge blow to Tsunade's reputation.
Jiraiya snorted coldly and said, "Don't worry, I already have an idea. Just like you said, public opinion is a weapon. Danzo has always used it very well, but we may not be incapable of it either!"
It’s hard to find the good things that Danzo has done, but aren’t there a lot of negative materials about him?
Just drop any of them and it would be enough to make Danzo suffer a lot.
Jingyan hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Sister Tsunade once told me not to ignore the Hokage."
"fire……"
Jiraiya wanted to refute, but ended up being speechless.
Danzo's troubles may not be caused by the third generation. If we just target Danzo, we may end up playing into his hands.
He frowned.
"What to do?"
"The first priority is to strengthen yourself. If you are strong enough, you can break the doubts. Sister Tsunade and you both need a chance to prove yourselves. In terms of public opinion, you can make a point of targeting Danzo by talking about the recent attacks..."
Danzo is Sarutobi Hiruzen's black glove.
Without cutting him off, there would be no way to pose a direct threat to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
At least, the remaining power of the Anbu must be forced out!
Jiraiya had his own thoughts.
"I know what to do, don't worry!"
"I feel at ease with you here."
Jing Yan said.
Tsunade is in power, which means to him, she must be much stronger than the Third Hokage!
Tsunade trusted him.
This is one of them.
Secondly, Tsunade is more flexible and adaptable, unlike Sarutobi Hiruzen, who often sticks to the old rules and takes things into consideration, and ends up getting nothing good.
Jiraiya was also thinking about what he should do when he turns around...
but.
As he pondered, he felt something was odd.
rest assured?
Ok?
its not right!
I am the teacher!
Jiraiya had a strange expression on his face, but thinking about the past, he was speechless for a moment.
Forget it.
It’s not the first time!
"By the way, to congratulate you on your promotion to jonin, I'll give you a gift."
Jiraiya said as he pulled out a knife-like object from his waist.
Jingyan took it and lifted the cloth.
This sword is shorter than Kakashi's White Fang, somewhere between a dagger and a short sword, and more like a work of insufficient material.
but.
He tried it a little and understood the difference.
This is a chakra weapon.
"Teacher, this is too precious!"
"It's not top-quality, but I only found this one, so you can make do with it..."
Jiraiya felt embarrassed.
This knife is indeed too short, more like a dagger, and only slightly longer than a kunai.
Jingyan shook his head and then bowed respectfully.
"That's enough, thank you teacher!"
