Chapter 153 Guidance, Cultivation
Several minutes later, the intense stimulation in their bodies slowly subsided.
Apart from Kushina, who was still feeling unsatisfied, everyone else had a lingering sense of disbelief on their faces, as if they had just survived a calamity.
"How do you feel? Carefully observe the changes in your body." Xingyuan Qianshuo slowly explained, "This super spicy life curry can stimulate cell activity and hone mental resilience, thereby increasing your chakra limit by approximately three to five percent."
"However, this kind of stimulating enhancement method is most effective only the first time."
"Yes, my body is indeed full of vitality. It's hard to estimate the maximum chakra level for now, but this recovery efficiency is already close to that of a high-grade soldier's ration pill." Minato carefully sensed the changes in his body and said softly.
"This curry tastes so good!" Kushina felt incredibly refreshed after her chakra exploded from the spiciness.
If it weren't for the fact that each person only received one serving, she would have loved to have another plate.
"By the way, Chisaku, do you have the recipe?" Kushina's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yes. You want to learn?"
"Mmm! Mmm!" Kushina nodded vigorously—this was the first time she had ever felt such a strong interest in cooking. Once she learned how, she could cook as much as she wanted herself.
"Okay, I'll write it to you later," Xingyuan Qianshuo readily agreed.
Minato's lips twitched almost imperceptibly as a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.
The others were terrified of curry; just recalling their experience made their bodies stiffen slightly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo looked around and smiled at the four students, saying, "Alright, while your bodies are still in a state of high excitement and your chakra has almost recovered, you can continue your ninjutsu training. Let's finish early this afternoon; your teacher will treat you to barbecue."
"Yes, teacher!" Shizune and the other three responded in unison, then dispersed to continue practicing the ninjutsu taught by Tsunade.
"Qian Shuo, your four students are all quite good," Minato said gently.
"Yes, they are all outstanding talents from the medical specialty class, with excellent potential and temperament." Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded in agreement.
After a moment's thought, he spoke again: "Minato, isn't it about time you took on the role of team leader?"
"We do have that plan," Minato replied.
"Shizune and the others were originally supposed to graduate next March, but I moved it up by four months," Hoshigen Chisaku continued. "There are quite a few promising talents in their class, such as the youngest son of the Third Generation, Sarutobi Asuma, and the daughter of Shinku-senpai, Yuhi Kurenai."
If you mention it to the third generation, perhaps you could take charge of guiding them.
Xingyuan Qianshuo didn't mind changing the original composition of the "Minato Team". Kakashi's early graduation and eventual formation of a team with Obito and Rin was already full of coincidences.
With him, this "butterfly," constantly flapping his wings, it's hard to say whether the original trajectory can continue.
Upon hearing this, Minato fell into a deep thought.
Although the mentorship relationship is not as close as that of a formal master and apprentice, if a student has outstanding potential, the mentor will also teach them wholeheartedly and may even eventually take them on as a disciple.
The master-disciple relationship has always been an extremely important one in the ninja world—especially in Konoha.
He also didn't want his students, whom he had painstakingly trained, to end up as ordinary Chunin.
"That's great—but it's a pity I can't teach students." Kushina rested her chin on her hand, looking regretful.
"Kushina, although you can't be the team leader, you can teach in the sealing class," Hoshino Senju said with a smile. "Maybe you can become the person in charge of the sealing class in the future, managing a large group of people."
"Yes! Yes!" Kushina's eyes lit up immediately, and she nodded repeatedly with pride.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's thoughts shifted slightly.
He is still missing a fragment of the Uzumaki Physique and a fragment of the Thousand Hands Physique. Currently, his chakra reserves have become the biggest obstacle to his advancement to the Kage level, and he must attempt to break through them.
When he teamed up with Minato before, he demonstrated Wind Release: Rasengan and mentioned that he would exchange ideas with Minato after returning, which actually meant that he intended to teach him.
His plan was still to follow the same pattern as when he taught Kushina and Minato Rasengan, and see if he could directly obtain related rewards from them.
"Minato, have you tried to integrate Wind Release chakra into the Rasengan?" Hoshigen Chisaku asked after a moment of contemplation.
"I've tried, it's very difficult," Minato replied. "To maintain the ultimate form change while incorporating the nature change is like making someone look left and right at the same time. I'm currently prioritizing training the release speed of the Rasengan, hoping to be able to connect it with the Flying Thunder God Technique."
"Well, if it's just a simple integration of Wind Release, it's probably still A-rank difficulty; but to fully develop it, it's S-rank," Xingyuan Qianshuo explained. "And this level of training should also improve the casting speed of a regular Rasengan."
After listening, Minato thought for a moment and nodded.
"Minato, Kushina, both of your chakra natures contain wind attribute, making them ideal for incorporating the Rasengan. It would be a real shame if you didn't train in it." Hoshino Senju spoke sincerely, appearing to be genuinely concerned for others. "Since we have some time now, I'll tell you the training secrets so you can practice on your own later."
"Alright, thank you very much, Chisaku," Minato replied gently.
"Chisaku, I heard from Minato that your Wind Release: Rasengan can create a crater forty or fifty meters in diameter!" Kushina asked excitedly. "Could you demonstrate it?"
After listening to Kushina's words, Hoshigen Chisaku looked around and said, "I'll call the A-rank difficulty Wind Release: Rasengan, and the S-rank difficulty Wind Release: Rasenshuriken. The latter resembles a giant shuriken and can be thrown for ranged attacks."
"However, the Spiral Shuriken is too powerful, so it's not appropriate to demonstrate it in this training ground. When I was training it, it attracted the attention of the Sealing Squad, who even sent a patrol team to investigate."
Minato hesitated slightly before saying, "I can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take everyone outside the village."
"Go! We absolutely have to go!" Kushina cheered immediately. She was never one to stay put, but she had always been confined to the village, so she was particularly interested in things like "leaving the village without permission," which was a bit of a violation of the rules.
Tsunade, who had been sitting quietly on the wooden chair listening to the three of them talk, spoke up at this moment: "My Hokage teacher often uses the telescope technique to spy on people. He has no privacy at all when he does things in the village." She knew that Hoshino Senju was intentionally hiding a lot of things, and it was indeed inconvenient to train in the village.
"Alright, I have a training ground outside the village that I use by myself. I'll take you there." Minato nodded upon hearing this. Although he valued rules, he wasn't someone who rigidly adhered to them at all times.
Xingyuan Qianshuo glanced at the four students who were cultivating and thought to himself, "Using shadow clones to teach them cultivation here? Oh well, I'll show them around too."
"Minato, is it far? If it's not far, I'd like to invite Shizune and the others to come along and experience the Flying Thunder God Technique," Hoshigen Chisaku said.
"Okay, let's go together." Minato nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Xingyuan Qianshuo called Shizune and the other three back and told them that he needed to borrow Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the village for training.
They had no concept of the "Flying Thunder God" space-time ninjutsu, but were full of anticipation for "leaving the village to train".
Minato looked around—no one was nearby. Since this was Kushina's "shadow clone," the Anbu ninjas did not follow and remained at the Senju residence to monitor the "real body."
He left the Flying Thunder God seal on a nearby rock as a return coordinate, and then gathered everyone together, connecting them with chakra.
The next moment, the figures of the group suddenly disappeared.
After two consecutive teleportations, the group found themselves in an unfamiliar place.
The terrain beneath your feet is flat and open, dotted with rocks and a winding stream; on one side there are dense trees, and on the other side there is a rock wall for climbing and training.
"This is where my teammates and I often train," Minato explained.
"Hmm, this place is nice." Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded after looking around.
Before the four of them could react, they found themselves outside the village, looking around in astonishment.
Having experienced Star Source Chisaku's Flying Thunder God Technique before, Tsunade simply watched him "perform" with a smile.
"Minato, you've never brought me here before!" Kushina puffed out her cheeks and demanded.
"Kushina, we've always been under surveillance by the ANBU, and now they've secretly sent your main body away from the village—it'll be a real problem if they find out," Minato said helplessly.
"Oh, Minato, don't worry, no one else will know!" Kushina immediately put on a smiling face, afraid that Minato would send her back right now.
Xingyuan Qianshuo used his Kagura Mind Eye to sense the location of Konoha and quickly determined that the place was about fifty kilometers northwest of Konoha, which was beyond the normal alert range of Konoha's defense forces.
There was no one else around, and the nearest ninja was about forty kilometers away, most likely a patrol team.
"Chisaku, hurry up and demonstrate!" Kushina urged, her eyes shining.
Tsunade and the others also cast expectant glances. None of them had ever seen Hoshino Senju use the complete form of Wind Release: Rasengan.
Although Minato had seen the scenes caused by ninjutsu, he was focused on fighting the enemy at the time and never witnessed the specific form of the technique.
"it is good."
Xingyuan Qianshuo responded and then looked around.
"You all stand here; it'll get very dusty soon. I'll build a wall to block the wind first."
Having said that, he formed a hand seal and slammed it onto the ground—
With a loud rumble, a thick rock wall rose up in front of him.
He then walked forward more than ten meters and stood still, his right hand raised in a gesture, his chakra surging, rotating, and compressing, and wind-style chakra merging into it.
Om-! ! !
A sharp, piercing buzzing sound suddenly rang out, causing the surrounding air currents to swirl wildly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo raised the giant, rapidly spinning shuriken above his head. A chilling aura of destruction emanated from its blue heart and white blade.
The people behind them were only ten meters away. At this moment, their bodies and minds were instinctively tense, their expressions were solemn, and they unconsciously held their breath, looking at the dangerous thing in front of them that exuded a sharp aura.
Fortunately, Xingyuan Qianshuo's spiral shuriken had reached the perfect level, and no fine wind blades were dissipating around it.
He deliberately showed off, not rushing to throw it, but maintaining the holding position for three seconds, then swung his arm forward and the giant spiral shuriken flew out of his hand, covering a distance of sixty or seventy meters in the blink of an eye.
boom!!!
The wind chakra within the Rasengan suddenly erupted, and the fine wind blades instantly expanded into a huge white sphere of wind blades.
The hard ground was instantly sliced apart, the wind raged, and the dust was swirled up and repeatedly cut into extremely fine powder, which then spread and diffused with the wind.
The storm swept towards the location where Xingyuan Qianshuo, Tsunade, and the others were in the blink of an eye.
Xingyuan Qianshuo didn't try to withstand the attack head-on. He instantly returned to behind the rock wall and casually pulled the four dumbfounded students behind it as well. Tsunade, Kushina, and Minato also slipped behind the wall.
After more than ten breaths, the storm gradually subsided.
Several people emerged from behind the wall, where a large amount of dust still floated in the air and slowly settled.
They stepped forward and came to the edge of the giant pit, a hole more than forty meters in diameter and seventeen or eighteen meters deep, resembling a rough, giant bowl sunk into the ground.
"Phew, this ninjutsu is incredibly powerful! I must learn it!" Kushina said, clenching her fist, her eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.
Although Tsunade already knew that Chisaku had successfully integrated Wind Release chakra into the Rasengan, she only witnessed its terrifying power today, truly deserving of its S-rank difficulty. She looked at Chisaku beside her with a smile, her eyes filled with pride and joy.
The four of them, including Jingyin, were still somewhat dazed. They knew their teacher was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this strong, and a strong sense of admiration welled up in their hearts.
Minato carefully observed the form of Wind Release: Rasengan and realized that Senshuo had intentionally slowed down the execution speed.
In an instant, he thought about how he would deal with this technique. There was no other way but to use Flying Thunder God Technique to teleport away.
In the blink of an eye, he was also considering whether he could cultivate this technique, what difficulties he would encounter, and how long it would take.
The final conclusion is: this technique is not suitable for him in his current state. It consumes too much chakra, is too difficult, takes too much time, and has limited applicability in certain combat scenarios.
However, if it were Kushina, she would be very suitable for this kind of large-scale damage approach.
However, he didn't say it aloud. Instead, he really wanted to hear Qian Shuo's cultivation tips to see if there was anything he could learn from them.
"Teacher—can we learn this ninjutsu too?" Hyuga Tetsuya snapped out of his daze, his voice still trembling slightly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was silent for a moment before calmly replying, "Everyone has their own suitable path of cultivation; there's no need to force yourself to use a particular powerful ninjutsu."
"Tetsu, your chakra nature is wind. In the future, you can integrate wind release into the taijutsu of the Hyuga clan, which will also unleash great power."
Upon hearing this, Tie was not disappointed; he had simply asked the question he had just posed instinctively. At this moment, he couldn't help but imagine the scene of integrating Wind Release into taijutsu.
Hoshino Senju then looked at the other three students and said, "I have a plan for your future training. As long as you train diligently, you will surely become strong among the Jonin."
"Yes, teacher!" Shizune and the others replied excitedly, their eyes sparkling.
"Chisaku, come and teach us the secrets of cultivation!" Kushina urged impatiently.
"it is good."
Xingyuan Qianshuo agreed, gathered his thoughts, and slowly explained, "The first step in cultivation is to initially integrate Wind Release chakra into the Rasengan—this is still at an A-rank difficulty."
"But as Minato said, it's like making someone look to the left and right at the same time. The trick is to use two shadow clones when you start training: the main body creates and maintains the stability of the Rasengan, one shadow clone is infused with wind chakra, and the other assists in achieving the ultimate form transformation."
"Once I've mastered the A-rank Wind Release: Rasengan, I'll gradually increase the amount of chakra and raise the difficulty of training."
After saying that, Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered for a moment and then said, "I'll demonstrate once."
He formed hand seals and created two shadow clones. Just like when he first started training, his main body and the clones worked together to condense a whistling Wind Release: Rasengan in his palm.
The others, even when examining the much weaker chakra ball up close, could still sense the sharp aura contained within it.
Xingyuan Qianshuo walked to the side and pressed the Wind Release: Rasengan against a rock about two meters high.
boom!
With a deafening roar, the rock mass crumbled. The compressed wind blades inside burst forth, transforming into a whistling airflow carrying dust that scattered in all directions.
After the sandstorm subsided, a more than ten-meter-long arc-shaped depression was left on the ground in front.
Xingyuan Qianshuo intentionally controlled the amount and power of his chakra, so the destructive effect was far less shocking than the previous Rasengan.
"Wind Release: Rasengan is a basic version of the Rasengan with added wind blade cutting damage."
He returned to the group and concluded.
"Okay! I'll definitely master it soon!" Kushina said firmly, full of fighting spirit.
She then walked to the side with Minato, formed hand seals to create shadow clones, and began her cultivation.
Xingyuan Qianshuo narrowed his eyes slightly, a slight smile playing on his lips, thinking to himself, "I've prepared my nest, but I wonder if I'll be able to harvest a fragment of a physique this time."
He then looked at Tsunade, Shizune, and the other three beside him and said, "You four should continue your training. Don't stray too far."
"Yes, teacher!" The four, who had just been shaken, were now more enthusiastic about cultivation than ever before, and walked to a nearby place to work on their own.
Xingyuan Qianshuo took Tsunade's hand and asked, "Tsunade, do you still plan to train in wind-style chakra?"
"Of course, I will learn Wind Release and fuse the wind and earth elements. One day, I will learn your Magnet Release: Gold Sand Technique." Tsunade's eyes were burning, and her tone was filled with an undeniable determination.
"Alright, you start cultivating first. Let me think if there's any way to speed up the cultivation process." Xingyuan Qianshuo said, already preparing to use the teaching scroll in his mind.
"Hmm." Tsunade responded and, without delay, went to the side to begin her training.
"Should I use the beginner tutorial scroll or the intermediate one?" Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered. "There are two intermediate scrolls available now, and they're also available for purchase in the shop, but they require 3000 reputation points, which is three times the cost of the beginner one."
"Fine, it's our own Tsunade, so of course we should use the best. Let's just use the intermediate scroll."
With a slight thought, a red intermediate teaching scroll quietly disappeared from his inventory.
While experiencing the cutting properties of Wind Release chakra, Tsunade suddenly focused her mind, and various insights emerged, instantly entering a state of near enlightenment.
