Chapter 140 Rewards, Legend of the Immortals
Chapter 131 Rewards, Legend of the Immortals
Xingyuan Qianshuo, who had been staying in Tsunade's office, naturally saw the reward notification that popped up by the system.
He paused for a moment, then the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up.
"Not bad, the shadow clone was quite capable today, even gaining an unexpected advantage."
From Genma Shiranui: "Flying Thunder Formation Technique (Proficient), Chakra +20", from Eriko: "Ninja Tool Throwing Proficiency +300, Chakra +10", from Hanfang: "Herbal Identification Experience Scroll *1, Chakra +15".
These three rewards are icing on the cake. However, if the Flying Thunder Formation technique is taught to the right person, it can also play a significant strategic role.
Before he could think it through, the system popped up two more exciting notifications:
You have healed Hyuga Tetsuya's minor contusions, and have received the following reward: Eight Trigrams Palm: Rotation (Proficient), Chakra +
30]
[You have healed Might Guy's minor meridian damage and minor external injuries, and have received the following rewards: Eight Gates "Sixth Gate" (Mastery), Stamina +20%, Chakra +35]
Xingyuan Qianshuo gently stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and guessed that his student must have sparred with the opposing team.
He didn't recognize that Eriko; she was likely Guy and Genma's current teammate. As for Ebisu, he was still "acting cool" at the Ninja Academy.
Without much thought, he collected the rewards one by one.
The Flying Thunder Formation technique was mastered in the original work by the guard team consisting of Genma Shiranui, Raido Namiashi, and Iwashi Tatami. They were taught this technique after Minato Namikaze became the Fourth Hokage and took up his post as his guard.
"Speaking of which, Minato probably hasn't developed this technique yet, at least it's not mentioned in his training notes."
Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered to himself.
This technique is a simplified version of the Flying Thunder God Technique. It does not pursue the instant kill effect in battle, but only retains the teleportation function, and changes the single-person casting to a three-person cooperative casting.
This modification greatly reduced the stringent training requirements for the Flying Thunder God Technique, while the teleportation function can also come in handy at crucial moments.
Baguazhang: Rotation is a high-level taijutsu secretly passed down by the main branch of the Hyuga clan. In the original work, Hyuga Neji mastered it on his own thanks to his extraordinary talent.
This technique is known as "Absolute Defense." It can release a large amount of chakra from all the chakra points in the body the moment it is attacked, and then spin like a top to reflect the attack back.
Having mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Wind Body Technique, Hoshino Senju's fighting style has shifted towards speed, leaving him with fewer opportunities to use defensive techniques that consume large amounts of chakra. However, the experience gained from this technique regarding "releasing chakra from all the body's pressure points" remains invaluable.
Of these rewards, those from Matt Kai are the most generous.
With Xingyuan Qianshuo's current physique, he could already open the sixth gate of the Eight Gates Formation, the First Gate of View. The system's reward saved him the time of arduous cultivation.
The Eight Gates Formation is incredibly powerful, and can be used as a trump card if you have a life-saving item.
However, he had always avoided this physical technique and had never actively practiced it.
This is mainly due to the influence of past life memories.
In his understanding, the essence of a ninja's use of chakra is to squeeze out the body's and mind's energy. And the Eight Gates is one of the most ruthless secret techniques for squeezing out energy.
He not only believed that using chakra and ninjutsu for fighting and killing was a biased path, but he also regarded the wanton use of ninjutsu and the simple pursuit of power as a kind of "evil path".
True cultivation should be about "seizing the creation of heaven and earth to nourish oneself".
Looking across the entire ninja world, only the Sage Mode of the three great holy lands and the Divine Tree Fruit of the Otsutsuki clan can achieve this.
The power of Sage Mode is undeniable. The key is that after using it, the body and mind not only do not feel tired, but are even more energetic—which is completely different from the feeling of exhaustion after using ninjutsu.
Unfortunately, Sage Mode is extremely difficult to master, and even among the most elite humans, very few can master it.
Furthermore, Xingyuan Qianshuo speculates that the three holy lands only taught the basics of Sage Mode. The true secrets of storing Sage Chakra and achieving longevity were never passed on to outsiders.
The Otsutsuki clan plundered the natural and life energy of planets through the Divine Tree, condensing it into fruit, which they then consumed to achieve evolution. This is a clearly visible path to godhood in the Naruto world's setting.
Although this path is like a demonic path and seems to belong exclusively to the Otsutsuki clan, it is undoubtedly much more advanced than the way ninjas squeeze their own energy.
As the Eight Gates Formation was enhanced, many thoughts surged through Xingyuan Qianshuo's mind.
With his current strength, perhaps it's time for him to start thinking about the true nature of power in the ninja world.
As a time traveler, the real advantage should not only be the so-called "original memories", but also the mindset and philosophy he has when looking at the world and power.
He shouldn't have been assimilated by the ninjas of the ninja world, blindly pursuing powerful techniques without considering their underlying essence.
Only by truly understanding and clarifying these concepts—technique, method, and principle—can one move forward better, go further, and stand higher.
Around noon, at the third training ground.
The shadow clone, Qian Shuo, told the cultivators to take a break and said with a smile, "Let's go, I'll treat everyone to barbecue for lunch today."
"You're too kind, Jonin Chisaku. Let me treat you." Noiwa said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Haha, don't be shy, you can treat me next time."
He also benefited greatly from arranging a friendly match between the two teams today. Treating them to a barbecue is not only a way to express his gratitude but also to strengthen the relationship between the two teams and facilitate future friendly matches.
Of course, the key is that he now possesses Magnet Release: Gold Sand Technique, making the entire ninja world his ATM, and he no longer has any worries about money.
Having become a reclusive tycoon, he didn't care whether it was noon or not, and led everyone directly to "Q Barbecue".
Kai, Genma, and Eriko all thanked them politely and were very happy. Their instructor, Noiwa, was only a Chunin, and in the eight months he had been guiding them, he had only treated them to meals twice, and those were just ordinary, convenient meals.
Upon reaching the entrance of the training ground, the shadow clone Qian Shuo had to stop: "Shizune, you take everyone to the barbecue Q first, I'll be there soon."
"Huh? Oh, okay, Master." Shizune was taken aback for a moment, then nodded.
The shadow clone, Qian Shuo, greeted everyone before turning into a cloud of white smoke with a "bang".
The Wild Rock Guard team then realized that the person who had been guiding and treating them all morning was just a shadow clone of Teacher Qian Shuo.
"Professor Noiwa, is this the Shadow Clone Technique?" Eriko asked curiously.
"Yes, this is the B-rank ninjutsu, Shadow Clone Jutsu. The physical clone is almost identical to the original, can perform various ninjutsu, and retains its memories after being released," Noiwa explained. "When Jonin Chisaku was on the front lines, he used five or six Shadow Clones to heal hundreds of wounded soldiers simultaneously, which was incredibly powerful."
"That's great! I want to learn too. Teacher, do you know how?" Eriko continued to ask.
"Uh... Teacher, I... don't know." Noiwa Taira lowered his head in shame.
"Don't be sad, teacher. You've already done a great job," Eriko comforted her. "You even single-handedly took down an Iwagakure ninja on the northwestern border!"
It can only be said that without comparison, there is no harm.
After meeting the younger and more outstanding teacher Qian Shuo, my own teacher, whom I had previously thought was quite good, suddenly didn't seem so appealing anymore.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yanwei's face burned even hotter. If he had known this would happen, he shouldn't have boasted about his achievements to his students in the first place.
Tsunade's office.
Xingyuan Qianshuo, having received the memories from his shadow clone, looked at Tsunade, who was still engrossed in her studies, and said, "Shizune and the others ran into Might Guy's team at the training grounds. I'm treating them to barbecue for lunch. Do you want to come along?"
Tsunade raised her head and stretched.
"Forget it, it's just a bunch of kids, and it's lunchtime, not a good time for drinking. Why don't you bring some back for me? Oh, and give those two dolls to Shizune and Rin while you're at it."
"Alright." Xingyuan Qianshuo had no choice but to go alone.
He estimated the group's pace and soon met up with them at a street corner.
"Master, do we also have to clean up the river and find cats and dogs when we take on a mission?" Jingyin asked.
"What's wrong?"
"Eriko said that D-class missions are all about these kinds of trivial things."
"Well, these tasks are mainly to cultivate teamwork and tacit understanding among team members, and also to give you a buffer period to learn from your instructors," Xingyuan Qianshuo explained. "Let's go to the task release hall tomorrow and see what happens."
Grilled meat Q.
There weren't many customers at lunchtime. The group chose a private room and sat down.
Kai, Genma, and Eriko looked around with a sense of novelty—they had only heard of this store before, and this was their first time entering it.
"Let me give you the souvenirs first."
As Xingyuan Qianshuo spoke, he took out a scroll, formed hand seals, and unfolded it. The gifts he and Tsunade had bought immediately appeared on the chair next to him.
"This body pillow was brought by Tsunade for Kushina." He glanced at it, gave a brief explanation, and then put the body pillow back.
A pile of gifts was laid out, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Rin, why did Teacher Chisaku bring you gifts?" Eriko asked Rin curiously in a low voice.
"These are gifts the teacher brought back when she went out on a mission," Lin replied softly.
"—" Eriko opened her mouth in surprise, then her gaze quietly turned to her mentor, Noiwa Taira.
As soon as Ye Yanwei met her gaze, he immediately looked away, not daring to meet her eyes.
"Sigh—" Eriko sighed inwardly.
Why is there such a big difference between two instructors?
"Jingyin, this piggy bank is a birthday gift from your master." Xingyuan Qianshuo smiled as he picked up the piggy bank and handed it to Jingyin.
"Thank you, Master!" Shizune happily hugged the piggy bank—she had fallen in love with the pink pig at first sight.
Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded and then picked up the white rabbit and turtle plush toys: "These are small gifts that Tsunade bought for Shizune and Rin. You can choose one of them yourselves."
Lin glanced quickly at Jingyin and snatched the fluffy white rabbit doll first.
"Ah—Lin!" Shizune, still holding her piggy bank, was a step too slow and couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmph." Lin hugged the white rabbit tightly in her arms, clearly not wanting the green turtle.
"Thank you, Master, and thank you, Teacher Qian Shuo," Lin said with a smile.
Helpless, Shizune took the turtle: "Thank you, Lady Tsunade."
Although I don't particularly like it, it is a gift from Lady Tsunade after all, so I can't show any dislike.
"This turtle is so cute!" Kai suddenly exclaimed from the side.
Everyone looked at Kai, whose eyes were shining as he stared at the turtle, and inexplicably felt that the turtle and Kai's temperament were quite compatible.
Silent felt the same way and almost wanted to give it to Kai directly, but then felt that it would be impolite.
Xingyuan Qianshuo recalled Guy's summoning beast "Ninja Turtle" from the original work, wondering how Guy later signed the contract. He shook his head and picked up the four wallets of different colors: "These wallets are souvenirs I brought for you. You'll find them useful when you earn money from missions later. Hanfang..."
"You can choose first, Iron."
"Thank you, Professor Qian Shuo."
After thanking them, the two each chose one item.
Regarding the remaining two items, Lin smiled and said, "Jingyin, you can choose first this time."
"Hmph." Shizune didn't stand on ceremony and directly chose one.
At this moment, Noiwa was on pins and needles. Eriko's occasional glances felt like needles pricking him.
Fortunately, the waiter came in to take our order, which diverted everyone's attention.
Ye Yanwei wanted to generously say, "This meal is on me," but then he remembered that his recent girlfriend had been quite expensive, so he swallowed his words.
The barbecue was over in less than an hour.
Xingyuan Qianshuo dismissed the four students and told them to reconvene at the training ground at 2 PM. He then returned to the hospital with the packaged barbecue.
Nothing much happened in the afternoon, and time passed quickly.
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Shizune and Rin followed a shadow clone to the hospital to thank Tsunade in person. After Rin left, Shizune stayed behind and returned to the Senju residence with the two of them.
After dinner, Xingyuan Qianshuo returned the cultivation notebook scroll to Shuimen.
"Chisaku, are you also going to train in the Flying Thunder God Technique?" Kushina asked curiously.
"Okay, let's give it a try." Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded.
"It's very difficult," Kushina sighed. "Unfortunately, I don't have much talent for space-time manipulation."
Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered for a moment and said, "Minato, have you ever considered—having multiple people work together to activate the Flying Thunder God Technique for teleportation?"
"Multi-player teamwork?" Minato paused, "Does that mean it only retains the teleportation function and isn't used for combat?"
"Yes." Xingyuan Qianshuo nodded.
He decided to propose this idea. If the water gate could be developed quickly, he would "learn" from it; if not, he would find an opportunity to demonstrate it later.
"With multiple people working together, each responsible for one requirement of the Flying Thunder God Technique, it is indeed possible to lower the threshold for training," Minato pondered.
Tsunade was familiar with the training conditions for the Flying Thunder God Technique and thought the method was feasible—although it did not improve combat power, its strategic value for long-distance teleportation was still significant.
However, she had no interest in delving into the details; her gaze towards Qian Shuo was filled with pride.
Qian Shuo's thinking is indeed flexible, but sometimes—it's not used on the "right path".
After a moment of stunned silence, she quickly shook off certain images from her mind, remembered the gift for Kushina, and hurriedly said, "Chisaku, take out that body pillow."
Xingyuan Qianshuo took out a pillow with a nine-tailed fox pattern and handed it to Tsunade.
"How is it, Kushina? Not bad, right?" Tsunade showed it to Kushina.
"Mmm! It's so cute, thank you Tsunade-neechan!"
Kushina really likes this chibi version of Kurama; it's much cuter than the real Kurama's fierce appearance.
"Hmph, boring." The Nine-Tailed Fox, who was spying from inside the sealed space, curled its lip in disdain.
Xingyuan Qianshuo had been paying close attention to Kushina's, or rather, the Nine-Tails', reaction. Seeing that everything was normal, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
But Kushina's next question made him wary: "Do you think Kurama (the Nine-Tails) was cute when it was little?"
"Kushina, don't be so presumptuous," Kurama warned fiercely.
It felt that being too good to this girl was making her increasingly disrespectful.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anymore." Kushina quickly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Minato asked.
"Kyuubi doesn't want to talk about what it looked like when it was a child, hehe," Kushina laughed.
Seeing that there were no problems, Xingyuan Qianshuo pondered for a moment and then casually said, "There has always been a legend of the Sage of Six Paths in the ninja world. I wonder if the Nine-Tails has ever seen this sage."
"The Sage of Six Paths? That's just a legend, it's probably fake," Kushina said casually.
"Hmph! The Sage of Six Paths is the most powerful being, that's for sure!" Kurama (the Nine-Tails) wouldn't remain silent when the Sage of Six Paths was involved. "Your ninjutsu was taught to you by the Sage of Six Paths!"
"Really?" Kushina asked curiously, "You've met the Sage of Six Paths?"
"Hmph." Nine-Tails snorted coldly, unwilling to say more.
Kushina had no choice but to give up asking questions and said to the others in the room, "Kyuubi said that the Sage of Six Paths really exists, and that he taught us all our ninjutsu."
The room fell silent for a moment.
"Chakra was spread by the Sage of Six Paths. The earliest techniques were all performed without hand seals until Indra developed the hand seals." Hoshino Senju pondered to himself, "But it's normal that Kurama doesn't know the details."
After a moment's thought, he deliberately added, "The Sage of Six Paths must have been a powerful and virtuous person. He spread ninjutsu not to make ninjas kill each other."
"Only by understanding the past can we better understand the present. If the deeds of the Sage of Six Paths can be fully recorded and spread throughout the ninja world, it may truly guide ninjas toward peace."
Everyone in the room looked at him, lost in thought.
Although Jingyin didn't quite understand, she thought it was amazing that her master could think about such profound questions.
Tsunade understood Chisaku's intention—if the Sage of Six Paths was truly a person who upheld peace, then using his deeds to guide contemporary ninjas was indeed a viable approach.
Minato seemed lost in thought. He thought of the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku, a being who had lived for over a thousand years, who might also know about the Sage of Six Paths.
Inside Kushina's sealed space, Kurama remained silent, pondering to himself: "Promoting the old man's story? How could they truly understand the Sage? But—the old man once said that in the future, a ninja who truly understands the Tailed Beasts would appear and guide the world towards peace. Could it be—that it really has something to do with these people before me?"
Xingyuan Qianshuo only mentioned it briefly and did not elaborate further.
He knew that if the ninja world wanted to achieve lasting peace, it couldn't rely solely on individual strength. To unite the majority, it needed a compelling ideology. Rather than creating his own theory, he decided to directly borrow from the Sage of Six Paths' "Ninjutsu" philosophy and adapt it.
The effect would be even better if the promotional materials could be endorsed by a sacred site like Mount Myoboku.
He deliberately brought it up in front of Minato, a contractor of Mount Myōboku, merely as a prelude. Whether Minato would be interested in discussing such topics with the toads of Mount Myōboku remains to be seen.
Furthermore, he also wanted to know if the Great Toad Sage of Mount Myōboku had foretold his arrival in a dream. This ability was too overpowered, invisibly connecting it to his future actions.
The group didn't continue with this somewhat profound topic. After chatting for a while, they went to rest.
