Chapter 44 Tsunade, the Rebel Against the Heavenly Order
"Where to?"
Qingyu turned around.
Could it be a casino?
Then I must refuse outright and righteously.
"Have you heard of Maruboshi Kosuke?"
Tsunade said.
Qingyu thought for a moment and remembered this person. Maruboshi Kosuke was a perennial genin, but his strength was actually quite good among jonin.
However, Qingyu pretended not to understand and shook her head.
"Maruboshi Kosuke's water-style ninjutsu and swordsmanship are both quite good. Although his skill in Konoha-style swordsmanship is not as famous as Hatake Sakumo's, in some aspects, he is more solid than Hatake Sakumo."
Tsunade paused, then added:
"Besides, he received a favor from my second grandfather, so if I ask him, he should agree to give you guidance."
Upon hearing this, Qingyu immediately realized that he had misjudged Tsunade.
What he lacks now is guidance in swordsmanship.
Although Sakumo Hatake and Orochimaru would try to give him pointers whenever they had the time, they were both very busy and didn't have much free time.
Kakashi is a good sparring partner, but a sparring partner and a teacher are two different things.
The appearance of Kosuke Maruboshi perfectly filled this gap.
Because there aren't actually that many missions that genin can perform.
"Thank you, Tsunade-nee."
"Um."
Tsunade nodded, then extended her hand to Kiyoyu.
Qingyu looked down at the fair hand, then looked up at Tsunade's face.
"What do you mean?"
"Is there any money left?"
Tsunade spoke with such confidence and without the slightest blush.
Qingyu's lips twitched slightly as he looked at Tsunade, who was brazenly asking him, a junior, for money.
It's completely upside down!
This word couldn't be more fitting here.
"I have no money."
Qingyu resolutely refused.
Tsunade withdrew her hand.
"Oh, never mind then. I was going to take you now, but since we don't have the money, we'll have to wait a while..."
A hint of regret appeared on Tsunade's delicate face.
Qingyu looked at the hand that was being extended in front of him again, remained silent for a few seconds, and then took out several large bills from the pocket and slapped them into Tsunade's palm.
These are the pocket money and living expenses that Tsunade usually gives him, but Qingyu is very frugal and doesn't spend much.
As a result, even Tsunade had to keep this in mind.
Tsunade took the banknotes, counted them, and her face instantly lit up with a smile.
"Kid, this is called an investment. I'll pay you back double when I make a profit."
Tsunade spoke with a smug look on her face.
If you stop going to casinos because you've lost money gambling, then you'll never get it back, right?
She carefully put the banknotes away, then bent down and picked Qingyu up in her arms.
Qingyu felt her face sink into a soft baby cafeteria.
Tsunade's body heat pierced through the thin clothing, and the size of the 106 after being squeezed almost made it hard for him to breathe.
Before Qingyu could even squeeze out, Tsunade exerted force with her feet in the next moment.
Body Flicker Technique!
The wind howled in my ears, and the surrounding scenery rushed past me.
Tsunade was so fast that Kiyoyu couldn't even see the outlines of the buildings around him.
Not long after, Tsunade put her feet down and set Kiyoyu down.
Qingyu finally had the chance to breathe fresh air.
After taking a few breaths, Qingyu looked around again.
This is a rather remote place.
There was a wooden house ahead, and Qingyu saw an old man with his eyes narrowed to slits, who looked somewhat kind.
"It's been a long time, sir."
Tsunade walked up and greeted her with a smile.
"It's Lady Tsunade! Is this Kiyoha?"
Maruhoshi Kosuke was also somewhat aware of Kiyoha's existence.
Although it was their first meeting, he still felt that this child was Qingyu.
Because Tsunade wouldn't just bring a child along randomly.
"Yes, I brought him here because I wanted him to learn swordsmanship from you."
"Tsunade said."
Kosuke Maruhoshi nodded.
He turned around, took two wooden swords from the wall, held one in his hand, and tossed the other to Qingyu.
"Let me see what you're made of now."
Qingyu caught the wooden sword and assumed a fighting stance.
Maruhoshi Kosuke also raised his wooden sword.
The two faced off for a moment in the open space, then attacked simultaneously.
The crisp sound of wooden swords clashing echoed through the woods.
Even after just one exchange, Maruboshi Kosuke sensed that Kiyoha was no ordinary person.
He discovered that Qingyu had a strong learning ability and could quickly make judgments about his sword moves.
He also heard that the child possessed the Sharingan...
If the Sharingan were awakened, this ability would likely be further enhanced.
Tsunade watched from behind and noticed that Kiyoyu had made a lot of progress again.
Since enrolling in school, Qingyu has been making rapid progress, like a rocket.
Has the power of her bloodline begun to manifest within Qingyu?
Tsunade thought to herself.
Not long after, Kosuke Maruboshi stopped.
Seeing this, Qingyu also sheathed his sword.
"He has excellent aptitude."
Maruhoshi Kosuke.
He created a unique S-rank technique that combines swordsmanship and illusion, named "Konoha Style: Willow".
[Collectible trait detected: Experienced Swordsmanship]
[Rank D Trait: Seasoned Swordsmanship]
[Effect: Improves understanding of swordsmanship, allowing for faster anticipation of the opponent's swordplay in actual combat.]
Qingyu looked at the words that appeared before her eyes.
Another D-level trait, and one that directly enhances combat ability.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, sir."
Tsunade said with a smile from the side.
"It's no trouble at all."
Maruhoshi Kosuke shook his head, his gaze falling on Kiyoha, his eyes filled with gentleness.
Kiyoha is also a member of Tobirama's clan. Maruhoshi Kosuke no longer has the chance to repay Tobirama Senju's kindness, but he still has the opportunity to help Kiyoha.
"Lord Tobirama was kind to me back then, and his clansmen are willing to learn swordsmanship from me. I couldn't be happier."
……
Several months passed in the blink of an eye amidst the daily practice.
Qingyu's life also became more fulfilling.
Every morning, he would go for a run with Might Guy, attend classes at the Ninja Academy in the morning, practice swordsmanship with Maruboshi Kosuke after school in the afternoon, take a medicinal bath prepared by Tsunade when he got home in the evening, and review what he had learned that day with his Sharingan before going to bed.
Under the guidance of Kosuke Maruboshi, his swordsmanship improved rapidly.
The core of Konoha-ryu swordsmanship lies in solidity; every move and technique must be practiced until it is thoroughly memorized.
Qingyu possesses the Sharingan, which allows him to perfect every move.
Maruhoshi Kosuke taught patiently, and Kiyoha learned quickly.
During this time, he has mastered sword techniques such as "Konoha Style Swordsmanship: One-Day Dance".
Simply put, it is a continuous combination of three movements: downward chop, horizontal slash, and diagonal slash, all of which are completed in one breath.
If the opponent can defend against the first attack, they can't defend against the second; if they can defend against the second, they can't defend against the third.
Of course, Qingyu also made sure to interact with Nohara Rin, Yuhi Kurenai, and other ninjas with good sensory abilities to trigger their special traits.
In the ninja world, the importance of sensory abilities cannot be overstated. Being able to detect enemies in advance and see through traps and ambushes is often more important than the strength of the fighters themselves.
But luck didn't seem to be on his side; after several months, he hadn't lost any of his perception-related traits.
The climate in Konoha grew colder day by day, and before you knew it, another semester had passed, and winter had arrived in Konoha.
The New Year is almost here.
Qingyu stood in the courtyard, her breath turning into white mist.
Looking at the battered wooden stake in the backyard, he suddenly realized that he had ushered in another new year.
The Third Shinobi World War will be here soon, won't it?
Qingyu pondered to himself.
However, this also means that before the Fourth Shinobi World War, Sakumo Hatake will also be slandered.
Qingyu couldn't quite understand why some ninjas would try to eliminate a high-level combatant.
