Chapter 154 Copper Sand, Physique
Xingyuan Qianshuo sat quietly on the rock, not cultivating.
Many of his skills were inconvenient to use in front of Minato and the others. If he were to train, he could only focus on the Five Elements Ninjutsu.
In that case, we might as well keep an eye on Tsunade, who has entered a state of enlightenment, while continuing to explore the further development of the three primal powers.
Incidentally, let's also wait for the moment when Kushina and Minato might "lose control" while practicing Wind Release: Rasengan.
Not long after, Tsunade took out the small piece of paper she had brought with her and placed it in her palm. Then she clasped her hands together, and her chakra flowed, transforming into wind-style power. The cutting force easily sliced the paper into several pieces.
Tsunade looked at the small, shattered pieces of paper in her palm, a smile playing on her lips. With a casual flick of her wrist, the paper pieces fluttered like butterflies.
She looked up at Qian Shuo not far away and said smugly, "Qian Shuo, how about it? My talent isn't much worse than yours, is it?"
Hoshino Senju smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Impressive, as expected of Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha."
"Hmph, hmph." Tsunade was in a bright mood, letting out two soft hums of laughter through her nose, her eyes and brows radiating joy.
She felt that she was always in a particularly good state when Qian Shuo was around, so she stopped talking and turned around to form a hand seal.
Take a deep breath, and your full chest rises and falls.
"Wind Release: Breakthrough!"
A strong gust of wind burst from her mouth, blasting forward like an air cannon, instantly scattering sand and fallen leaves in all directions.
Xingyuan Qianshuo clapped softly as he watched.
Tsunade gave him a playful glance and continued her training.
"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
"Wind Release: Gale Palm!"
In order to develop Wind Release chakra and then attempt to fuse Wind and Earth attributes, she had already memorized many Wind Release ninjutsu.
At this moment, relying on her rich experience in escape techniques, she frequently formed hand seals and practiced refining and circulating wind-attribute chakra.
Xingyuan Qianshuo observed while secretly pondering.
Instructional scrolls can enhance focus and lead to greater insights during practice. In this case, the more solid the practitioner's foundation, the better.
The higher the talent level, the more significant the effect.
Tsunade was an elite Jonin with top-notch chakra control, so the scroll's enhancement to her naturally far exceeded that of ordinary people.
However, fusing wind and earth chakra is still not easy.
After a moment of contemplation, Xingyuan Qianshuo decided to use his own chakra to guide Tsunade's chakra and perform Magnet Release: Gold Sand Technique, allowing her to personally experience and comprehend it.
With his current masterful control over chakra, he should be able to do it if Tsunade doesn't object.
A dozen minutes later, Tsunade stopped practicing her Wind Release ninjutsu and began trying to refine both Wind and Earth Release chakra simultaneously.
Unfortunately, it is extremely difficult, like asking an ordinary person to draw a circle with their left hand and a square with their right—it's hard to coordinate.
After Tsunade focused on her training for four or five minutes, Hoshino Senju stood up and glanced back at Minato and Kushina, who were concentrated on their training fifty or sixty meters away and wouldn't notice them.
So he walked toward Tsunade and said softly, "Tsunade, I will manipulate the chakra within you and try to fuse it into Magnet Release."
Focus on feeling.
"Okay, sure." Tsunade nodded slightly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo gently placed his palm on her back, and their chakra connected and merged.
Immediately, he simultaneously transformed wind and earth-type chakra within Tsunade's body and fused them into one.
Tsunade subconsciously waved her hand, releasing her chakra, and a clump of fine sand shimmering with golden light rose from the ground.
The amount of sand was small, resembling a golden snake, winding and floating in the air in front of him.
Tsunade focused intently on her practice, and with the aid of the instruction scroll, she deeply imprinted every sensation of refining and fusing the chakra within her body into her mind.
The two maintained this connection for about three minutes, then Xingyuan Qianshuo said again: "Next, you will try to take over the control, and I will gradually relinquish control."
"Okay." Tsunade responded softly, and then followed Chisaku's rhythm, trying to take over the circulation, refinement and fusion of chakra within her body.
The handover process was extremely slow, lasting more than half an hour, before each person could control half of the operation.
The gold-flecked snake danced in the air, their chakra blending seamlessly, their coordination growing ever more perfect.
Half an hour later, Xingyuan Qianshuo gradually relinquished 90% of its control.
Tsunade independently refined her chakra and merged it with the remaining chakra of Chisaku, striving to maintain the movement of the Gold Sand Serpent.
After Xingyuan Qianshuo's chakra completely withdrew from her body, the golden snake danced in the air for more than ten seconds before suddenly falling to the ground.
Tsunade frowned and pondered. After the withdrawal of 1000's chakra, her fusion efficiency did decrease significantly, but there was still fused Magnet Release chakra present, so she should be able to maintain it.
"What's wrong? Do you want to do it again?" Hoshino Senshuo asked softly.
"No need, I'll try again myself." Tsunade shook her head.
She crouched down, touched the ground with both hands, and the wind and earth chakra within her body merged again, generating new magnet release chakra which she then poured into the ground.
Soon, a small plume of dark yellow sand rose from the ground, completely different from the glittering gold dust that had appeared before.
"What is this??" Xingyuan Qianshuo's mind stirred slightly, and he reached out to try to control the fine sand, but there was no reaction at all.
"It really isn't placer gold." He was both amused and exasperated.
The good news is that Tsunade has made a preliminary grasp of Magnet Release; the bad news is that her Magnet Release doesn't control gold dust, but rather something slightly better than iron dust, which seems to be copper dust.
Tsunade clearly noticed the difference as well. She manipulated the fine sand to come to her and reached out to catch a small handful.
Xingyuan Qianshuo leaned closer, twirled his fingers together, and laughed, "Congratulations, Tsunade, you have mastered Magnet Release: Copper Sand Technique and become the first copper-refining ninja in the ninja world."
""
Tsunade's lips curled slightly, her heart filled with a mixture of satisfaction and disappointment. Copper was certainly valuable, but compared to gold, it held far less appeal for her.
"Qian Shuo, do you think if I continue cultivating, there's still a chance I can switch to controlling gold dust?" She looked at Qian Shuo, her eyes asking.
"It's hard to say, but we can give it a try." Xingyuan Qianshuo was also uncertain. "However, I control placer gold and you control placer copper. If we can refine two different metals, it will be easier to convert them into wealth in the future, and there will be no duplication."
"That's true." Tsunade nodded.
"It's best not to let too many people know about our magnetic escape ability, lest it cause panic and fluctuations in the local gold and copper industry, and be difficult to handle in the village," Xingyuan Qianshuo said solemnly.
"Hmm, that's fine." Tsunade thought for a moment and agreed.
"If you want to train this ability on a large scale in the future, I can use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take you out of the village," Xingyuan Qianshuo said with a smile. "I also plan to take Shizune and the others to visit famous medicinal herb producing areas. We'll go together then."
"Great!" Tsunade's eyes lit up. "I've always wanted to go out of the village for a stroll."
"Okay, I'll ask Teacher Biwako for permission first, under the pretext of going out to collect herbs and gain experience."
The two talked for a while, then walked to the side and sat down to rest.
Tsunade gently leaned on Chisaku's shoulder, waving her hand to control a wisp of dark yellow copper sand that floated in front of her.
"Chisaku, do you think it's because I have high talent, or because your chakra is good at driving me, that I was able to master Magnet Release so quickly?" Tsunade suddenly asked.
"Maybe it's a combination of both." Xingyuan Qianshuo's lips twitched.
This is a difficult question to answer in detail. If I really had to explain, I could only say that he caught the attention of the Sage of Six Paths and was casually given a boost.
ff.
Fortunately, Tsunade only asked casually and did not delve into it further.
After resting for a while, Xingyuan Qianshuo recalled a thought from earlier: he still hadn't taken Tsunade back to the house left by his parents. Since they were already planning to get married, they really shouldn't delay any longer.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Tsunade, how about we invite everyone to my house for a barbecue tonight?"
"Okay." Tsunade casually agreed, but didn't realize that the "home" he mentioned wasn't the Senju residence.
"I mean, the house my parents left me," Xingyuan Qianshuo added. "Let's go pack early this afternoon, and we'll stay there tonight, okay?"
Tsunade stopped manipulating the copper sand, lifted her head from Chisaku's shoulder, and glared at him: "Hmph, you haven't taken me anywhere in all this time."
""
"Haha, that's exactly what I was going to do with you," Xingyuan Qianshuo said with a laugh, trying to smooth things over.
He himself lived in the Senju mansion for a long time, only occasionally using shadow clones to go back and clean.
I've been away on missions for the past eight days, and the house is probably dusty by now; I need to clean it beforehand.
"We no longer have any elders, so how about we ask Teacher Biwako to help with the wedding arrangements?" Hoshino Sensaku asked gently.
"Sure, just invite a few friends and acquaintances." Tsunade smiled happily.
"As for the timing, I plan to set it a few days after my birthday, which is January 21st, and choose an auspicious day," Hoshino Chisaku said gently.
"Okay." Tsunade nodded and smiled. "You'll be twenty after this birthday, so you can drink alcohol now, which will prevent you from breaking the rules by drinking at your wedding."
"Haha, you're right." Xingyuan Qianshuo shook his head with a smile.
As the two chatted and laughed, the four members of the Jingyin Clan, who were tired from cultivation, came over and greeted each other.
They didn't have much chakra to begin with, and had already rested several times, switching to chakra control training instead.
Seeing that they had consumed a lot of chakra, Xingyuan Qianshuo reached out and shot out four chakra threads to replenish their chakra and restore their vitality.
He then sent them back to continue their training, instructing them to replenish their chakra when it was depleted.
In the distance, Minato had already successfully created Wind Release: Rasengan with the help of his shadow clones, but this method clearly did not meet his requirements. He was still trying to operate it alone with his main body or shadow clones.
Kushina created five shadow clones and trained in two groups. Unfortunately, the Rasengan, infused with Wind Release chakra, was extremely difficult to maintain, and she has yet to succeed.
"If we give Minato and the others the tutorial scroll now, they'll probably master the Wind Release: Rasengan very quickly, since it's still an A-rank difficulty," Hoshino Senju thought to himself.
"However—let's forget about it for now. We can consider improving Minato and the others' strength after Tsunade and I are in charge of Konoha."
Just then, Kushina, whether a shadow clone or her true form, appeared, holding a Rasengan gleaming with white wind blades, and turned to Minato, cheering, "Minato, I did it too! Hahaha!"
Minato looked over upon hearing the sound, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted urgently, "Kushina, release her quickly!"
Kushina also sensed that the Wind Release: Rasengan in her hand was about to go out of control, so she hurriedly pushed it to the side!
The wind blade exploded, and the shockwave sent Kushina flying several meters away, causing her to fall to the ground. Two shadow clones beside her were also affected and "poof"ed into white smoke and dissipated.
Xingyuan Qianshuo immediately got up and hurried over with Tsunade.
"It's okay, I'm fine." Kushina waved her hand dismissively and stood up.
Xingyuan Qianshuo used the system to investigate and found that it was just a minor external injury, cut by some tiny wind blades, and was not serious.
A green light emanated from his palm, covering Kushina's wound.
"It's just a minor injury, it'll be fine after some treatment," he said gently as he treated the patient.
Even more serious injuries could be healed with his current Yang Release chakra, but he still didn't want his friends to be seriously injured; minor injuries were enough.
Soon, the system sent a notification:
[You have healed Kushina Uzumaki's minor external injuries, and have received the following rewards: Contract Seal (Mastery), Chakra +1500, Uzumaki Physique Fragment *1]
Xingyuan Qianshuo glanced at it, his heart filled with joy, and he stopped the treatment, saying, "That's enough."
"I told you it was nothing, hahaha." Kushina laughed cheerfully.
Minato breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head helplessly.
"Shall we continue cultivating?" Xingyuan Qianshuo asked. "How about we rest for a while?"
"Okay." Minato and Kushina nodded in agreement.
The four of them sat down to rest.
Xingyuan Qianshuo mentioned to Minato and Kushina the plan to have a barbecue at home that evening, and planned to return after another hour of training. The two readily agreed.
After resting, Minato and Kushina continued their training.
Tsunade also walked away alone to continue training her Magnet Release abilities.
Xingyuan Qianshuo sat quietly by himself and then took the reward from Kushina.
The Contract Seal is a sealing technique that severs the contract connection between a ninja and their summoning beast. In the original story, during the Nine-Tails' rampage, Minato used it to sever Obito's control over the Nine-Tails.
Xingyuan Qianshuo had not yet begun learning this technique, and now was the perfect time to master it.
Chakra +1500, nearly double the +800 reward I received from Kushina last time. This shows that Kushina's chakra level has been increasing rapidly since she became a Jinchūriki, and she now has about 15 points.
"However, this reward doesn't seem to have any Tailed Beast bonus," Hoshino Senju pondered to himself. "Perhaps it's because injuries aren't related to Tailed Beast chakra."
The system has collected three Vortex Physique Fragments in the inventory, and a notification pops up at the opportune moment:
[The system has detected that the host already possesses three fragments of the Vortex Physique. Do you wish to synthesize the Vortex Physique?]
"Yes."
[The host has been confirmed to have a vortex-like physique and will complete the physique evolution within 24 hours.]
"Hmm, it still needs 24 hours. Let's see how much chakra can be increased tomorrow," Hoshino Senju pondered silently.
As time passed, Xingyuan Qianshuo replenished the chakra of Shizune and the other three multiple times, allowing them to practice ninjutsu more frequently, and their proficiency improved rapidly.
An hour later, everyone finished their training and gathered together. Minato used the Flying Thunder God Technique to bring everyone back to the third training ground.
It was around 2 p.m., and there were very few ninjas training in the training ground; the surrounding area was empty and deserted.
Since no one knew the location of Xingyuan Qianshuo's house, he first led them back to his own home and helped them clean and tidy up.
"Jingyin, Lin, Hanfang, Tie, go home and tell your families first. I'll use my shadow clone to send you home after the barbecue tonight."
"Okay, teacher," the four girls replied in unison.
"Minato, Kushina, Tsunade and I are going to buy meat, vegetables, drinks, and barbecue equipment. Do you want to come along?" Hoshino Chisaku asked again.
"No, Kushina and I will go back first and come back later," Minato replied.
He planned to go back and clean up, bring some small gifts, and then come back for a meal together.
"Okay, come over around 4:30 or 5:00, let's start early."
"Um.
""
After Minato and Kushina left, Hoshino Senju took Tsunade and first escorted the four students back to the core area of Konoha, so that they would not be unfamiliar with the roads.
The four parted ways on a familiar street. Hoshino Senju took Tsunade's hand, and the two strolled leisurely through the streets.
They had never been to a meat and vegetable market together before, but like any ordinary couple, they enthusiastically selected ingredients, bought a large amount of food, sake and juice, and also purchased barbecue grills, grill pans and other utensils.
Whenever he had too many items, Xingyuan Qianshuo would quietly store them into his personal space.
An hour later, the two returned home and began preparing the ingredients.
Xingyuan Qianshuo didn't use any knives; he used Water Release, Wind Release, and even chakra scalpels to handle the situation, which was extremely efficient, and he quickly completed all the preparations.
Soon, the four members of the Jingyin group arrived one after another, intending to help, but found that the teacher had already made preparations.
Xingyuan Qianshuo thought for a moment and then sent his shadow clone to the hospital.
The shadow clone first went to the dean's office to pay his respects to Teacher Biwako and gave a brief report on the mission, especially the free clinic he was conducting in the local area.
He didn't mention the wedding arrangements. It's only early December, there's still plenty of time. It would be better to discuss this in person when he and Tsunade visit Biwako-sensei together.
After leaving the dean's office, the shadow clone found Snake Kindness, Mutual Kindness, and Skui, and invited them to dinner that evening.
Mutual kindness had already been arranged, and Serpent's Kindness and Skui readily agreed.
Snake Ci has completed three lectures in the medical specialty class. After two more lectures, it will be Skui's turn.
The shadow clone waited for the two to get off work in Tsunade's office, and then led the way for them.
The dinner party that night was filled with laughter and joy, creating a lively atmosphere.
Under the bright moonlight, everyone lit a bonfire in the courtyard, and the aroma of roasting meat filled the air.
During this time, Snake Ci and Skui were encouraged by everyone to try the "Life Curry," but unfortunately, they lacked willpower and only took one bite before resolutely refusing to touch it again.
The dinner party ended around 8 p.m.
Xingyuan Qianshuo used his shadow clones to send Shizune and the other three home. Sheji and Skui left together, while Minato and Kushina returned on their own.
Tsunade stayed behind, and tonight, she officially moved into Hoshino Senju's house.
They spent the night in quiet bliss, enjoying each other's company.
