Naruto: The Uchiha remnants of the Senju clan!

Chapter 18 Tsunade's Loyal Fan

However, that's not enough.

Qingyu was well aware of the importance of talent.

Sakura Haruno spent three years learning the "Healing Palm Technique," Rin Nohara went from zero to mastering it without a teacher, while Shizune followed Tsunade around for many years before she could even get the basics down.

Ultimately, Shizune couldn't even learn Tsunade's "Yin Seal," which prevented her from inheriting Tsunade's combat system.

Fortunately, Qingyu is not bad now either.

With the 40% efficiency bonus from [The Solitude of a Genius], the focused state brought by [Persistent Perseverance], and his current innate talent of [Innate Medical Body], his progress will only accelerate.

Qingyu desperately wanted to improve so he could live peacefully in the ninja world.

……

night.

Silent is already asleep.

Qingyu was practicing Water Release ninjutsu alone in the front yard.

After learning "Water Release: Water Blade Slash", Qingyu then tried to practice "Water Release: Water Barrage".

He mastered the basics after only a day or two of practice and can now apply them skillfully.

This water-style ninjutsu allows you to fire water cannons, like bullets, from your hand to sweep across your opponent.

The "Water Release: Water Gun Technique" of the neighboring Hidden Mist Village is similar to this technique.

As for Tsunade, she went out again tonight.

Qingyu knew without asking that it was most likely a casino.

Just then, the courtyard gate was kicked open from the outside.

Bang!

Qingyu turned around and saw Tsunade leaning crookedly against the door frame.

Two rosy blushes floated on her cheeks, and her amber eyes were veiled with a drunken mist.

Her waist was so slender it could be encircled by a single hand, but as she staggered, the two mounds of white flesh on her upper body swayed so brightly they made one dizzy.

Qingyu felt that he was steadily moving towards becoming a fan of Tsunade and was becoming a loyal fan.

"Kid... come and help me up."

Tsunade waved at him, her voice muffled.

Qingyu sighed, withdrew his chakra, stepped forward, and took Tsunade's arm.

Tsunade pressed her entire weight down on him without hesitation. Fortunately, Kiyoyu was much stronger than his peers, and he had just acquired the [Great Strength] trait from Tsunade.

Despite being much smaller, lifting up Tsunade, who was like a large cart, wasn't too difficult for him.

After settling Tsunade on the sofa, Qingyu went to the kitchen to get some hangover remedies.

When he returned to the living room with the cup, Tsunade had already sprawled out on the sofa in an even more carefree posture.

She stretched and subconsciously crossed her left calf over her right knee.

The cuffs of the tight-fitting capri pants had slipped up a bit, revealing her voluptuous and shapely curves.

[Collectible trait detected: Mild alcohol tolerance]

[E-level trait: Mild alcohol tolerance]

[Effect: Moderate drinking will not lead to loss of control; alcohol tolerance is slightly improved.]

Qingyu looked at the words that appeared before her eyes, her expression subtle.

This trait is somewhat useless.

He wasn't interested in drinking.

After all, there is a living example of what not to do right in front of us.

The only use of this trait is probably to have a couple of drinks with the target when carrying out an infiltration mission so as not to give yourself away on the spot.

"Tsunade, how much did you lose today?"

Qingyu handed over the hangover remedy.

"What do you mean by 'how much I lost again'?"

Tsunade replied with dissatisfaction.

Does this kid even know how to talk?

"Did Tsunade win a lot?"

Qingyu changed her wording.

After all, the less something is, the easier it is to emphasize something.

Tsunade took it, drank a mouthful, and smacked her lips in satisfaction.

"As for winning, I didn't win. I actually lost quite a bit..."

Qingyu's heart skipped a beat.

Tsunade's larger losses meant that the family's living expenses would be reduced.

Although Tsunade is the top female medical ninja in Konoha, her income is actually quite considerable, and she also has a substantial fortune.

But Qingyu, as an insider, knew very well that the family had long been in debt.

No amount of money could overcome her innate tendency to lose every time she gambled.

Moreover, many items belonging to the Senju clan are not for sale, such as the First Hokage necklace around Tsunade's neck.

Therefore, Tsunade sometimes struggled financially and often had to borrow money from Jiraiya.

As for Orochimaru, he initially lent her the money, but later he started saying that he was short of funds for his experiments and stopped lending it to Tsunade.

"and then?"

Qingyu asked.

"Then I accidentally punched the table and smashed it."

Tsunade described it casually and naturally.

"I didn't really calculate the money in the last round."

Qingyu raised an eyebrow.

Smash the table with one punch?

He subconsciously imagined that scene.

Casino tables aren't shoddy constructions; it would take a lot of strength to smash them with a single punch.

The next moment, three lines of text appeared before his eyes.

[Collectible trait detected: Great Strength]

[D-Rank Trait: Powerful]

[Effect: Your strength is extraordinary; your physical strength is increased by 20%.]

A surge of heat unexpectedly rose from his limbs and bones, as if something was coursing through his muscles and tendons before quickly merging into them.

Qingyu felt her body heat up, her skin turning slightly red, and at the same time, her strength was increasing.

It was as if it had grown taller in an instant.

"I was wrong. You're still useful, Tsunade."

Qingyu thought to herself sincerely.

"You look a bit odd, kid."

Tsunade's face suddenly drew closer.

Qingyu then noticed that the distance between the two of them had become very close at some point.

Tsunade's brown-gold eyes still held a hint of intoxication, and she noticed that Kiyoyu's face was a little red.

Is this kid shy?

Tsunade found it amusing and reached out to pat Qingyu's head.

To be honest, this kid is quite handsome if you look closely. He inherited the best features of both the Uchiha and Senju clans; his features are refined like those of the Uchiha, yet not overly effeminate, and his soft black hair falls gently over his forehead.

"Don't touch my head, Tsunade-neechan."

Qingyu subconsciously leaned back.

"Why not?"

"Because people in the village don't like being patted on the head."

Qingyu said in a very serious tone.

In the dueling arena, a head pat is a sure way to get a red envelope (a symbol of good fortune).

Tsunade listened to these strange words but didn't take them seriously, assuming that Kiyoha was just having his period.

Sometimes this child will utter words that she can't understand at all.

"It's time to rest, Tsunade-nee."

Qingyu glanced at the clock on the wall.

"Everyone's asleep, even on silent mode."

If he hadn't been training in the front yard without locking the door, Tsunade probably wouldn't have been able to get in.

Or to be more precise, Tsunade, who is exhausted after a long day, would probably choose the simplest method of brute force to unlock the door.

He smashed the door with one punch...

"it is good."

Tsunade mumbled a response, still half asleep.

Qingyu bent down and helped Tsunade take off her shoes.

A pair of crystal-clear, white, jade-like feet slid out of the shoes, with slender ankles and plump toes neatly painted with red nail polish.

Qingyu looked away without changing his expression and helped Tsunade up again.

He escorted Tsunade back to her bedroom and closed the door.

……

The next morning, at the Ninja Academy.

Qingyu was flipping through the textbook on ninjutsu theory that was going to be taught today when a figure walked up to him and stopped.

He looked up; it was the crimson sunset.

"Qingyu, may I ask you some questions about illusion magic?"

Kurenai Yuhi's tone was slightly hesitant, but she still managed to state her request in full.
