Chapter 92 The Dark Trait of Ninjas: Tsunade Warms Kiyohara (Third Update)
"Jiraiya, you must speed up your search for the 'Child of Prophecy,' the ever-changing 'Child of Prophecy'—if we can't find him in time, perhaps—perhaps something irreversible will happen."
After saying this, the Great Toad Sage's eyelids drooped again, and his breathing became long and deep once more.
He fell asleep again.
Silence fell over the stone hall.
Jiraiya stood still, his expression constantly shifting.
Has the "Child of Prophecy" changed?
What does this mean?
He had been searching for that "Child of Prophecy" for so many years, visiting vast swathes of the ninja world and reading countless ancient texts, but he still couldn't determine who that person was.
Even with Nagato, whom he had once taught, Jiraiya only thought it might be possible.
Rather than certainty.
Now, the Great Toad Sage tells him that the "Child of Prophecy" has changed.
What are the reasons for the change?
What will happen after the changes?
One question after another surged through Jiraiya's mind, but none of them could be answered.
He only felt that what he was looking for would probably be even more difficult.
He took a deep breath, turned around, and walked out of the stone hall.
"Jiraiya, where are you going?"
He asked the immortal about the profound matters.
"Leave the village."
Jiraiya said without turning his head.
"I was originally planning to have a drink with Tsunade before leaving, but it seems I don't have the time now. The matter of the 'Child of Prophecy' can't be delayed for even a minute."
My original intention to have a drink with Tsunade vanished completely at this moment.
In Jiraiya's mind, finding the "Child of Prophecy" was a higher priority than anything else.
When Qingyu and Jingyin returned, Qingyu pushed open the door, and the light in the entryway was on.
On the sofa in the living room, Tsunade lay in a carefree posture.
Seeing this, the two had no choice but to start cooking.
But after Qingyu and Shizune finished cooking, Tsunade was still fast asleep.
One of her hands was resting on the armrest of the sofa, while the other hand hung down.
Her long, golden hair was scattered messily on the cushion, with strands stuck to the corners of her mouth by saliva.
"Tsunade, you have saliva on your face."
Qingyu shook Tsunade.
Tsunade sensed the movement, woke up, and subconsciously wiped away her drool.
Then she grabbed Qingyu and vigorously rubbed Qingyu's head.
"It's going to get on you!"
Qingyu quickly said.
"Hmph, you brat, how dare you make fun of me."
She glared at Qingyu angrily, but her sleepy face was hardly intimidating.
Tsunade only let go when Qingyu's hair was completely messed up.
"Tsunade-neechan, be gentle."
"What do you mean 'lightly'? You need to use force with a brat like you!"
Then she leaned back on the sofa and waved to Qingyu.
"I finally fell asleep, and then you woke me up again. What's wrong?"
"It's time to eat."
Qingyu said.
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's nostrils twitched as she smelled a certain fragrance.
Then she asked Qingyu to get her a bottle of wine, and drank half of it in one gulp.
"Let's eat."
Tsunade then walked towards the table.
[Collectible trait detected: High alcohol tolerance]
[Grade D Trait: High Liquor Tolerance]
[Effects: Moderate drinking will not lead to loss of control; alcohol tolerance is slightly improved.]
[Synthesis: Winning a drinking contest against Tsunade once will upgrade this trait to a higher level.]
Medium amount?
Qingyu glanced at the new trait, and then went to eat.
As long as Qingyu agrees with Tsunade beforehand that she cannot use ninjutsu to cure her hangover, it's not impossible for her to beat Tsunade.
Hokage Building.
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, clutching a piece of intelligence from the border in his hand.
Konoha's overwhelming power and strength led to a decrease in mission requests from surrounding countries.
In addition to the problems left over from the last Shinobi World War, the five major ninja villages experienced an imbalance in national strength and resource allocation after the war. Villages such as Sunagakure suffered from a lack of supplies, while Iwagakure took the opportunity to expand and seize territory, leading to constant border conflicts.
Therefore, the dissatisfaction of various martial arts factions with Konoha's growing strength has transformed from an undercurrent into a raging torrent beneath the surface.
The frequency of border clashes has tripled in the past three months.
"Resentment from those around us is building up."
Mitokazu pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"War will break out sooner or later. Rather than passively waiting for others to bring the war to our doorstep, we should start to formulate a strategy to take the initiative now."
Hiruzen Sarutobi slammed the report heavily on the table.
"no."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said decisively.
"Konoha will never intentionally drag the Land of Fire into the quagmire of war. This is the fundamental principle that the First Hokage established when he founded the village. As long as I am still the Hokage, this bottom line will not change."
Hiruzen Sarutobi rejected the proposal outright.
Having experienced the Second Shinobi World War, he knew very well that war only brought tragedy.
And once a fight breaks out, ending it isn't something that can be done so easily.
After Hiruzen Sarutobi finished speaking, the conference room fell into a brief silence.
In the silence, Shimura Danzo, who had been keeping his eyes closed, slowly opened them.
"Hiruzen, you say we shouldn't start a war, but have you considered that when war comes, the biggest threat might not be on the border, but inside our village?"
"You haven't forgotten about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki going out of control before, have you?"
Upon hearing Shimura Danzo's words, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes suddenly sharpened.
Danzo Shimura continued, seemingly unconcerned: "Jinchūriki are weapons of war, but once a weapon goes out of control, the first to suffer the backlash is the person wielding it."
"We must strengthen our research on bloodline limits and the power of tailed beasts. When Hashirama was alive, his Wood Release could perfectly suppress the Nine-Tails. Madara Uchiha also turned the Nine-Tails into his summoning beast. These two powers are the fundamental means of controlling tailed beasts."
Then Danzo Shimura revealed his true purpose.
"That child, Qingyu, has the blood of both the Senju and Uchiha clans flowing through his veins. He is the only one in the village who has perfectly fused the bloodlines of both clans. If I hand him over to Root for special training for a period of time, I can train him to be a backup plan to deal with the Nine-Tails going out of control."
The moment he finished speaking, Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up from his seat.
"Enough, Danzo."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice was unusually tinged with anger.
He would not allow Shimura Danzo to lay a finger on Kiyoha.
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew to some extent what would become of those people in Root.
But Konoha also needs this deep darkness, which is why he can turn a blind eye to it.
But now, Danzo Shimura has clearly overstepped his bounds.
"Kiyoyu is Tsunade's younger brother and a member of Tobirama's clan. I will not approve this proposal."
Seeing that Shimura Danzo had even brought up Tobirama-sensei, he could only watch him in silence.
What can I say?
Did he say he wanted to lay a hand on Tobirama's clansmen?
A moment later, Shimura Danzo slowly stood up, straightened the wrinkles on his sleeves, and turned to walk towards the door.
"You would never understand my dedication to Konoha."
""
Danzo Shimura slammed the door and left.
His secretly cultivated Wood Release test subjects are gradually growing, which is causing his ambition to continue to swell.
In his view, as long as he could master the power of Wood Release, the Nine-Tails, and the Sharingan, the position of Hokage would be his sooner or later.
Moreover, after the incident involving Kiyoha, Shimura Danzo also obtained egg cells and sperm from the Senju and Uchiha clans from the Root organization to artificially cultivate embryos.
Although the mortality rate was lower than that of those who experimented with cultivating Wood Release, the offspring lost the bloodlines of both parents.
Just like close relatives, they are more likely to produce deformed children, but have a very low probability of producing geniuses.
Although this statement is inaccurate, Danzo Shimura discovered that in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, only Kiyoha was able to perfectly fuse the bloodlines of the two clans.
He is truly unique.
As I walked out of the Hokage Building, it was already dark.
Danzo Shimura was about to return to his residence when he suddenly stopped.
At the other end of the street, two figures were walking out from around the corner.
Tsunade, wearing a gray sleeveless top, had a rare smile on her face as she was talking animatedly to the boy beside her.
"We didn't win much today, but it's enough for a good meal. Come on, let's go to that new sukiyaki place!"
"Tsunade-nee, last time you said you'd take me to eat sukiyaki, I ended up paying for it."
Qingyu undermined the situation.
"That's because you lost that time. You won today, so don't worry, it's on me this time!"
Tsunade said with a grin.
Danzo Shimura stood in the shadows not far away, quietly watching this scene.
I just felt that they really had a deep bond between siblings.
Because of Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura dared not do anything to Kiyoha.
But his inner ambition never ceased.
"Qing Yu----"
I will have you sooner or later.
Danzo Shimura thought to himself.
[Collectible Trait Detected: Darkness of Ninja]
[Rank C Trait: Darkness of Ninjutsu]
[Effect: Increases Wind Release talent by 60% and extends the range of Wind Release ninjutsu.]
[Crafting: Completing a stealth mission will upgrade the trait to a higher level.]
The Darkness of Endurance?
Or should we add Wind Release?
Qingyu looked at the suddenly appearing trait and subconsciously looked around.
Kiyoha then discovered that Danzo Shimura was standing right in front of the Hokage Building.
It's definitely that old man Deng looking at him!
Qingyu suddenly felt a chill.
He didn't want to be dragged into the Root by Shimura Danzo, then forcefully infused with the Will of the Root and branded with the "Sign of the Extinction of the Tongue".
You should know that Root ninjas have no emotions, no past, and no future.
They were merely tools, used as expendable by Danzo Shimura.
Even after Yakushi Nonou left, she was still exploited by her heartless boss, Shimura Danzo.
"What's wrong?"
"Tsunade asked."
"It's nothing."
Qingyu shook her head.
"I just suddenly felt a little cold."
Being targeted by that old geezer isn't a pleasant feeling.
Tsunade glanced at him, then reached out and grabbed his shoulder, pulling him closer to her.
"What's so cold about it? It's the middle of summer. Let's go eat sukiyaki, and we won't feel cold anymore after we eat."
As Qingyu was half-dragged and half-pulled forward, the corners of her mouth unconsciously turned up.
Tsunade's broad chest and warm body temperature did indeed dispel much of the chill.
I love it!
By the end of June, Qingyu and the others received another mission.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
In late June, the air in Konoha already carried a hint of the heat of midsummer.
Qingyu stood in the backyard, extending her right hand with her palm facing up.
A ball of blue and white chakra rapidly condensed in his palm, the chakra inside spinning rapidly to form a perfect sphere.
But this time, Qingyu did not stop there.
He slowly infused a stream of water-style chakra into the already formed "Rasengan".
The inside of the "Rasengan" immediately began to change.
The pure chakra sphere, which was originally spinning at high speed, was gradually filled with water chakra at its center, and the water flow inside the sphere was drawn into the rhythm of rotation.
The already wildly spinning chakra became even more violent after the water was added.
After a few breaths, the chakra ball in Qingyu's hand had completely changed its appearance.
It was a rapidly spinning water sphere, and the water film on its surface formed spiral patterns as it spun at high speed.
It is quite similar in form to "Water Release: Breaking Torrent", but its internal rotation density and compression level far exceed those of ordinary water release ninjutsu.
Water Release·Rasengan.
Qingyu swung her arm and threw the water ball forward.
The sound of the air being torn apart was deafening the moment the water balloon left my hand.
It continued to spin at high speed during flight and crashed into a wooden post in the backyard.
