Chapter 95 Tsunade's Wealth and Warning
With a puff of white smoke, a familiar slug appeared on the table.
"Lord Tai."
"Hello, slug. Is there a letter from Tsunade-sensei?" Taichi asked impatiently.
Yes, that's right!
As it spoke, the slug's body tumbled, and a scroll and a letter fell out of its body and landed on the table.
Taiyi picked up the letter and scroll, looked at them, and opened the envelope to read the contents.
After glancing over the habitual greetings and complaints at the beginning, the next part introduces Tsunade's recent situation.
For example, she lost 50 taels gambling in the past two days and is currently hiding from debt collectors in the Land of Waves. Or, Shizune has made great progress recently, so he should not relax and be careful not to be surpassed by Shizune, etc.
The following section describes how Taiichi was given some basic ninjutsu. Yes, you read that right, not fire-style ninjutsu, but basic ninjutsu of the five elements.
Upon seeing this, Taiyi jumped up with joy, as if that wouldn't be enough to express his excitement. At this moment, Taiyi truly felt the benefits of having a good teacher, especially one with a rich family tradition of scholarship.
In the letter, Tsunade affirmed Taichi's idea of specializing in Fire Release first, and also gave him some guidance. Although she herself was not good at these, her strength was undeniable, and her knowledge and understanding were far beyond Taichi's.
Regarding Taiichi's desire to increase the temperature of his Fire Release techniques, Tsunade pinpointed the crux of the problem—
What high temperatures have you ever seen? If you've never even seen them, how can you claim to create such temperatures?
This question really stumped Taiyi. In his entire life, the highest temperature Taiyi had ever witnessed was probably the combustion temperature of household gas, which was at most a few hundred degrees. He had only heard of higher temperatures but had never actually experienced them.
Lost in thought about the problem, Taiichi quickly pulled himself back to the end of the letter.
Here, Tsunade warned Taichi to be extremely careful of one person: Shimura Danzo. Tsunade probably deduced from Taichi's words that Danzo had sabotaged most of the last mission, which is why she warned Taichi to be extra cautious.
While secretly moved, Taiichi grew increasingly disgusted with Danzo, who was like a greenbottle fly, always there whenever trouble arose.
I carefully folded Tsunade's letters and put them in the drawer, where there were already several replies from her.
Taiichi picked up a pen and paper and began writing a letter to Tsunade.
Dear Tsunade-sensei:
He started with a barrage of flattery, followed by thanks to his teacher for the ninjutsu materials and guidance, which greatly improved the efficiency of his ninjutsu training.
She expressed her gratitude to her teacher for reminding her about Danzo, and repeatedly assured him that she would be aware of Danzo's schemes.
Finally, I'd like to present my latest research findings—a superhuman version of the Instantaneous Movement Technique.
That's right, after four days of trial and error and constant experimentation, Taiyi finally completed the development of this version of the Body Flicker Technique this morning.
The results are obviously remarkable. As long as your chakra control is high enough and your dynamic vision and nerve reaction are up to par, this version of Body Flicker Technique can achieve speeds far exceeding the limits of the physical body, and it can also be used continuously.
The only downside is that this Body Flicker Technique consumes too much chakra, but that's not a problem. Normally, you can use the original Body Flicker Technique, and in case of an emergency, you can use the Super Strength version of Body Flicker Technique.
According to Taiyi's experiments, if he were to unleash the full power of the new version of Body Flicker Technique, his speed would be nearly half again as fast as before, provided that Taiyi's dynamic vision and nerve reflexes were up to par.
Moreover, this is not a one-time burst; it is a special move that can be used continuously as long as there is enough chakra.
This improvement to the Instantaneous Movement Technique greatly enhanced Taiyi's strength.
It took Taiyi more than ten pages to record the principles, details, and key points of training for the Super Strength version of the Instantaneous Movement Technique.
Tai carefully folded a thick stack of letters, sealed them in an envelope, and then handed it to the slug that was crawling around everywhere.
"Slug, I'm sorry to trouble you to deliver this message for me again," Taiichi said gratefully.
The slug, having put away the letter, replied in her gentle voice, "It's alright, Taiichi. Following you contractors has been one of the few interesting things in my long life, and I'm very happy."
As he spoke, a loud "bang" was heard, and the slug canceled the summoning.
After watching the slug disappear, Taiyi picked up the scroll on the table to examine it and discovered that it was actually a storage scroll.
That's right, so much ninjutsu information can't be recorded on a small scroll.
Taiyi held the scroll, formed hand seals to release the seal, and a bunch of scrolls of various sizes fell out. He randomly picked one up and saw it was Fire Release: Great Fireball, and then picked up an Earth Release: Earth Rising Spear.
Looking at the forty or fifty scrolls in front of him, Tai felt a wave of happiness wash over him. There were enough ninjutsu scrolls for him to study and learn from at his own pace.
Tai then categorized these ninjutsu scrolls by attribute and level, discovering that most of them were C-rank ninjutsu, but many were B-rank. It should be noted that the ninjutsu commonly used by Jonin are only B-rank.
As for those higher-level ninjutsu, they are either dangerous or impractical, so unless there are special circumstances, they are not as useful as B-rank ninjutsu.
Just as Taichi was happily organizing the ninjutsu scrolls, Tsunade, far away in the Land of Waves, was leaving a gambling den with a dejected look on her face.
Shizune, who was waiting at the door, looked at Tsunade's expression and sighed inwardly, "She lost again!" Then she went to greet her.
Having followed Tsunade for so long, Shizune had never seen Tsunade win any money, and she herself had gradually gotten used to the nickname those gamblers used to call Tsunade behind her back—"Big Fat Sheep".
-
You know, when Shizune first heard this nickname, she beat up the gambler who dared to call Tsunade a "fat sheep," but now, well, let's not talk about it anymore; she's already used to it.
"Shizune, let's go back to the inn!" Tsunade said weakly.
"But Lady Tsunade, you just gambled away all the money we had for the inn. We have no money left for the inn. I only have enough money left for one meal," Shizune said dejectedly.
"Ah! How could this happen?" Tsunade was even more dejected now. "Fine, let's go eat first, and while we're at it, let me think of somewhere else we can borrow money!"
Just as she was thinking this, Tsunade received a message from the Shikkotsu Forest Summoning Jutsu. After sensing the situation, she realized that Taichi had written another letter.
That brat is writing letters more and more frequently these days. Tsunade thought to herself, although she often complained about how troublesome it was, it was still a good feeling to have someone thinking of her all the time.
Tsunade took Shizune to an izakaya (Japanese pub) and ordered the restaurant's signature dishes. While waiting for the food to be served, Tsunade summoned a slug and retrieved the letter.
"It's Taiichi-kun who wrote a letter." Shizune asked, watching Tsunade's actions.
"Yeah, I wonder what he wrote this time. It's so annoying. I just wrote a whole bunch of scrolls about him." Tsunade complained, but her hands were busy opening the letter and reading it carefully.
After thoroughly enjoying the letter filled with flattery, Tsunade smiled, and even the frustration from losing money earlier dissipated considerably.
But as she continued reading the letters, Tsunade's smile gradually faded, replaced by a hint of seriousness.
Taiichi's description of the super-strength version of chakra in his letter made Tsunade yearn for it. If this technique were successful, the boost to combat power would be significant.
But it was precisely because of the promising future of the technique that Tsunade realized how difficult it was to develop it. As a master of superhuman strength herself, she knew how difficult it was to convert that power into a propulsive force for movement.
Judging from the letter, Taiichi had actually completed this ninjutsu, which naturally surprised her.
By this time, the food they ordered had been served, but Tsunade, having finished reading the letter, was preoccupied with the superhuman strength version of the Body Flicker Technique and had no appetite for food.
"No, I have to try." With that, she called to Shizune and got up to walk outside.
Shizune, who had just taken a bite of her food, saw Tsunade getting up to leave and quickly called out, "Lady Tsunade, we haven't eaten yet!"
But Tsunade, who had already walked far away, could no longer hear her words.
"Hey, what's the rush!" Shizune watched Tsunade walk away. "Boss, pack it up for me."
After leaving the izakaya, Tsunade turned around and found that Shizune had not followed, so she stopped and waited for a while.
After Jingyin hurriedly packed the food, the two quickly left the town and arrived at a secluded grove of trees.
Here, Tsunade adjusted her own state, carefully gathering chakra according to the chakra circulation method recorded in Taiichi's letter, and then unleashing it from the soles of her feet.
"Bang!" The sound of a small crater being blasted into the sole of my foot.
"Thud!" The sound of Tsunade flying diagonally and hitting the ground.
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune, who was watching from the side, exclaimed and rushed over to help the dazed Tsunade up.
Perhaps it was because Tsunade had a lot of chakra, or perhaps it was because she was used to using her superhuman strength. Although Tsunade reduced her chakra output, the enormous force still caught her off guard, and she was slammed to the ground just like Taichi had done the first time.
Shaking her still dizzy head, Tsunade pushed away Shizune who was helping her up: "It's okay, I was just testing a ninjutsu, I just didn't control the power well."
As she spoke, she came to an open space again. This time, she was no longer overconfident and started with the minimum chakra requirement for super strength, slowly experimenting little by little.
Tsunade truly lives up to her reputation as the best medical ninja in the ninja world. Her chakra control is top-notch, and she was able to successfully perform the technique after only a few attempts.
In the arena, Tsunade's figure could be seen moving left and right, her speed increasing and the distance growing ever greater.
Gradually, in the silent eyes of those watching from the sidelines, Tsunade's figure basically disappeared from sight, because her speed was too fast and her dynamic vision couldn't keep up.
"That's way too fast!" Shizune exclaimed, her mouth agape, her eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at the afterimages flashing across the arena.
Suddenly, Tsunade appeared beside her. Her forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat, but she was not out of breath at all.
"This speed is too fast, it's beyond my reaction limit. In actual combat, I'll have to slow it down a bit." It turns out this is due to the high level of mental concentration.
"Lady Tsunade, is this Body Flicker Technique really that powerful? Can I learn it?" Shizune's eyes lit up as she looked at Tsunade expectantly.
"You need to practice your chakra control more. You haven't even met the basic requirements for practicing this ninjutsu yet."
Tsunade gave Shizune a good talking-to, seriously doubting whether she had spoiled Shizune. Look at Taichi, her strength has improved so much in Konoha, and she can now create such ninjutsu.
"Wait here for me, I'm going to Shikkotsu Forest," Tsunade instructed Shizune.
"Okay." Poor Shizune had just been scolded by Tsunade, and now she had to wait for someone all by herself. She felt incredibly wronged.
At this moment, Taiichi was happily looking at a scroll of Fire Release ninjutsu, and occasionally picked up a pen to make notes when he saw something exciting.
From these scrolls, Taiyi could learn about the development ideas of different Fire Release ninjutsu and the various functions of different hand seals in ninjutsu, laying a solid foundation for him to create or improve nature transformations in the future.
Just as Taiichi was getting excited, a familiar summoning sensation came over him.
"What's going on? Tsunade-sensei replied so quickly, but this isn't the signal we agreed on before?"
Taiyi was puzzled. Since he had nothing else to do, Taiyi answered the summons and disappeared from the house.
Within the Wet Bone Forest.
With a loud "bang," white smoke billowed out, and Taiyi's figure appeared.
But what appeared before Taiichi was not only a slug, but also his teacher Tsunade.
"Tsunade-sensei, what are you doing here?!"
Upon seeing Tsunade, Taichi was overjoyed. After communicating for so long, this was the first time Tsunade had met him in person. And now that they were meeting today, how far was it from welcoming Tsunade back to Konoha!
"What, only you can come here, but I can't?"
"No, no, I'm just so happy to see Tsunade-sensei." Taichi said with a grin, but in his heart he thought Tsunade had a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. I came here to ask you about that superhuman strength version of the Instantaneous Movement Technique you mentioned in your letter before. Did you develop it yourself, or were there any other people involved?"
Seeing Tsunade's serious expression, Taichi also stopped smiling.
"Teacher, I developed this technique all by myself. I just finished it this morning. You are the second person to know about it."
Hearing that she was the second person to know, Tsunade was moved. Her efforts had not been in vain; this disciple still cared about her.
"What are your plans regarding this ninjutsu?"
"I haven't decided yet. After all, it's only been developed, and there are still many areas that can be improved. Does Teacher have any suggestions?" Although Taiichi already had a plan in mind, he still wanted to hear Tsunade's thoughts first.
"Your Body Flicker Technique isn't very valuable to ordinary ninjas because it's too difficult to learn, but it's worth studying seriously for a Jonin. Once mastered, it will greatly enhance their strength."
Tsunade first explained the value of the Body Flicker Technique, and then expressed her own opinion.
"Under normal circumstances, I would suggest you hand it over to the village and exchange it for some ninjutsu or supplies you need. But after that mission, you should hold off for now, or wait until you are strong enough before handing it over."
Taiichi realized that Tsunade didn't want him to hand this over to the village now, but rather to keep it as a trump card for now.
"The teacher really cares about me. As soon as he received my letter, he rushed over to remind me," Taiyi thought to himself.
"Danzo is a cunning man. I don't believe he didn't sabotage your last mission. If you hand over your ninjutsu now, it might end up on Danzo's desk tomorrow. So you'd better practice on your own first."
Tsunade concluded.
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, teacher. I'll do whatever you tell me to do!" Taiyi said with a big smile, patting his chest.
"You little brat, all you know how to say are nice things."
"By the way, Tsunade-sensei, when you're practicing this super-powerful version of Body Flicker Technique, you must be careful to keep your chakra release to a minimum, otherwise it's very easy to lose control. When I was developing it, it took me three days of falling to get used to it," Taichi reminded Tsunade.
To everyone's surprise, Taiichi's words only made things worse. Tsunade's forehead veins bulged, and she exuded a low-pressure aura.
"Why didn't you explain this in the letter beforehand? I've already practiced and even fallen down, and you're only telling me now," Tsunade cursed Taiichi in her heart.
Seeing that Tsunade's expression was off, Taichi quickly figured it out, chuckled, and changed the subject.
"Alright, I came here to remind you of this. Now that you know, I'll be leaving."
The two chatted for a while longer before Tsunade took her leave.
Taiyi looked reluctant to part. In just a short while, he had asked Tsunade for a lot of advice on nature transformation training, and he really benefited a lot.
But Taichi knew that now was not the time to keep Tsunade here. Fortunately, the foundation of their connection had been laid very solidly, and there would be many more opportunities in the future.
Just as Taichi was preparing to say goodbye to Tsunade.
"Wait, Taichi, did you bring any money?" Tsunade suddenly called out to Taichi.
Still not quite understanding the situation, Taiichi didn't follow Tsunade's train of thought and nodded blankly, completely failing to grasp what Tsunade meant.
"Give me your wallet." Tsunade held out her hand, her expression completely calm.
Taiyi took out his wallet and handed it over.
Tsunade took the wallet, scanned it, and clicked her tongue in amazement, "You've got quite a bit of money!"
He counted out 100 million taels of silver from the wallet, saying, "Consider it a loan to you." He then tossed the wallet back to Taiyi.
The person vanished with a "bang".
Catching the wallet that was tossed to him, Taichi finally realized that Tsunade had gambled away all her money and was now begging him for a free meal.
He shook his head with a wry smile, realizing that his mission had been in vain, and then disappeared into the Wet Bone Forest with a "bang".
