Chapter 128 Perfection, Spatial Power
The following day, the day before the ceremony.
Xingyuan Qianshuo and Tsunade did not continue their stroll.
Inspired by Chisaku, Tsunade's ideas for developing cursed seal techniques became increasingly clear.
She has named this new technique "Hundred Healings Technique," which perfectly complements the Yin Seal—the Yin Seal focuses on storing chakra, while the Hundred Healings Technique emphasizes the regulation and guidance of chakra.
Seeing that Tsunade was focused on her studies, Xingyuan Qianshuo used the excuse of training to leave the Daimyo Prefecture alone.
He walked to a secluded spot by the street, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and instantly teleported to a desolate mountain area.
This is the very place where my shadow clone trained yesterday, about fourteen or fifteen kilometers from the capital.
Qian Shuo looked around, then squatted down and touched the ground with his finger to confirm that there were no ninjas within a two-kilometer radius.
He then casually found a clean rock to sit on, opened the system, and began to ponder it carefully.
The system has enabled the "Shop" function, providing another way to obtain skill experience scrolls, but increasing reputation points is obviously not easy.
With his status as Tsunade's lover and the title of "Green Miracle," he has only accumulated a little over 13,000 reputation points, which is enough to exchange for two Perfect Scrolls or Basic Fusion Scrolls, but not enough to exchange for a Primal Scroll.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was not a flamboyant person and had no plans to make a big show of himself to gain fame. He preferred to plan and scheme, and acted step by step.
Moreover, there are many extraordinary beings hidden in the shadows of the ninja world—whether it is the villains Uchiha Madara and Black Zetsu, or the many Otsutsuki clan members, or the heroes such as the Sage of Six Paths and Gamamaru, none of them are easy to deal with.
In particular, Madara Uchiha is planning his "second cycle of life," and Gamamaru can predict the future through dreams.
If one is too high-profile, it will inevitably cause more variables, which will be detrimental to the action.
Therefore, his reputation is unlikely to rise rapidly in the short term, so he must make good use of the scrolls in his hand and not waste them.
After pondering for a moment while looking at the system panel, Qian Shuo decided to use a Perfect Scroll to enhance the Flying Thunder God Technique, while keeping the other one for the time being.
The power of the Flying Thunder God Technique is undeniable, and it played a crucial role even in the Fourth Shinobi World War.
Besides the Flying Thunder God Technique, the Hundred Healings Technique is also an S-rank technique, currently at the "Mastery" level. However, this technique still needs Tsunade to complete its development, so it's too early to start practicing it now, and there's no need to rush to improve it.
Among other skills, those suitable for improvement include Eight Gates Formation, Super Strength, Earth Vein Sensing Technique, and Magnet Release: Gold Sand. Although there are many options, none of them are urgent.
Given Xingyuan Qianshuo's current strength, the first six gates of the Eight Gates Formation offer him limited assistance; only the seventh gate, the Gate of Shock, and the eighth gate, the Gate of Death, can be considered his trump cards.
However, he felt that his physical strength was still insufficient and planned to wait until his Thousand Hands and Uzumaki physiques evolved, or his attributes such as muscles and bones were further improved, before trying to cultivate.
This preserved perfect scroll can serve as a trump card, and its use can be decided later based on actual needs, meaning that every skill can be improved at any time.
Having made up his mind, he immediately used the scroll for the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In an instant, a flood of experience and memories from practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique rushed into his mind. Technique imprints, technique seal perception, spatial leaps—all these experiences transformed into almost instinctive skills.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's mind stirred slightly, but his body remained seated in the same place.
However, he had just used the Flying Thunder God Technique once, and if one's eyesight is strong enough, one might be able to detect that his body had moved a few millimeters.
He then sensed the many Flying Thunder God seals he had laid down. The furthest seal he could sense was on the edge of a cliff in the Land of Rivers, estimated to be about 120 kilometers away.
After a moment's thought, he formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone.
The clone immediately disappeared and reappeared where the mark was.
However, the shadow clone that had teleported there looked worried because its chakra consumption had exceeded half of its allotted amount.
His chakra allocation was about 10,000 points, and this time he used up about 6,000 points, leaving him with only 3,000 points.
In other words, this shadow clone is likely unable to teleport back.
He hesitated for a moment, then instead of taking the initiative to cancel the trip, he tried to return to verify the outcome under this circumstance.
Bang!
The shadow clone transformed into a wisp of white smoke.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's main body received the memories and smiled helplessly: "As expected, it's difficult to maintain a shadow clone under these circumstances. As for the main body—never mind, I'd better not try it."
Without further thought, he opened the system panel and saw that the Flying Thunder God Technique was now displayed as "Perfect Level," and its sub-skills "Flying Thunder God Technique Formula" and "Technique Seal Perception" had also reached Perfect Level.
Qian Shuo lightly touched the rock he was sitting on, and a pattern instantly appeared.
He frowned slightly: there was a flaw in using the Perfect Scroll to improve skills—it only increased the proficiency of the existing skills and did not automatically expand upon them. In other words, he still couldn't use the Minato version of the text mark.
"Never mind, I'll go back and ask Minato for advice again." He sighed softly, no longer dwelling on it.
After finishing with the perfect reel, his gaze turned to the original reel and the primary fusion reel.
After a moment's hesitation, he made up his mind.
With a slight thought, three perfect-level skills lit up on the personal panel: Wind Release: Rasengan, Shadow Clone Technique,
Flying Thunder God Technique.
"This time, the Healing Palm Technique didn't light up—the Rasengan can't trace its origin, but the Rasenshuriken can. It seems that it's tracing the origin of Wind Release."
With a thought, he directed his attention toward the Flying Thunder God Technique.
In a divinely inspired sense, he perceived that the scroll was traveling in two directions. But as the purple scroll disappeared, it shifted towards one of them.
A mysterious and profound power quietly descended and merged with him. This fusion did not affect his body or soul; it seemed to occur in a higher dimension, beyond description.
Xingyuan Qianshuo felt as if the surrounding space had become tangible.
He instinctively raised his hand to touch it, but only found nothing.
Then, he gathered chakra in his palm and tried again. This time, the place he touched was no longer empty, as if he were putting his hand into water, only lighter and more subtle.
But that's all.
Qian Shuo opened the system panel, and a new item was added to the "Origin" row: "Spatial Power 27%".
He pondered to himself, "When I used the Origin Scroll earlier, the other direction might have been Yin power, that is, the Yin Release power contained in the Flying Thunder God Technique seal."
He shook his head slightly, deciding not to think about it anymore. He had always hoped to obtain the spatial-related essence of the Flying Thunder God Technique, a space-time ninjutsu.
After a moment of contemplation, he activated his Sharingan and formed hand seals to create a shadow clone.
The clone instantly teleported thirty meters away, his expression solemn. He concentrated a large amount of chakra into his fist and threw a straight punch into the empty space in front of him.
Chakra was suddenly released, causing the space in front of him to distort slightly before settling back down.
"—Is that all? It can distort space, but it can't shatter it." The shadow clone pondered, "Is it because I don't have enough chakra? Or is 27% too low?"
He did not try again, but instead focused on sensing the Flying Thunder God mark.
"The perception range of the spell seal has not increased—what a pity," the shadow clone thought to itself. "It seems that the perception of the spell seal is not directly related to the power of space, but depends on the power of Yin."
After a moment's thought, he vanished in an instant.
One hundred and twenty kilometers away, at the mark where the previous test was conducted, the shadow clone reappeared.
"Space jumps are indeed much easier, smooth and seamless, as if I'm part of it." The shadow clone sensed itself, "Chakra consumption is only about two thousand points, which is one-third of what it used to be—not bad."
After a moment's thought, he disappeared again, returned to his original location, and then deactivated.
Xingyuan Qianshuo received the memories and nodded slightly: "In the future, as the spatial power index increases, the affinity with space should be higher, and the consumption should be less."
He opened the system and saw that his proficiency in the perfect-level Flying Thunder God Technique had increased by about 13,000 points, a significant increase.
The proficiency in other space-time ninjutsu has also improved slightly.
Xingyuan Qianshuo stopped thinking about it and focused his gaze on the last "Primary Fusion Scroll".
The best use of this scroll is naturally to combine the properties of water and earth chakra to create Wood Release.
Unfortunately, Chisaku's innate element is water, and he subsequently prioritized showcasing wind release. If he were to directly fuse with wood release bloodline limit at this point, it would be difficult to use it against others in the short term.
Moreover, while his ninjutsu is now powerful, his chakra reserves have become a weakness. Even with his Wood Release bloodline limit, he is unable to unleash those powerful Wood Release ninjutsu.
After careful consideration, Xingyuan Qianshuo decided to first fuse water and wind to obtain the Ice Release Kekkei Genkai. In this way, he could gradually demonstrate his talent in chakra nature fusion to the outside world.
Since the system has already opened the "Shop" section, fusion scrolls can be exchanged at any time. It's not too late to try fusing Wood Release when the time is right.
Having made up his mind, he no longer hesitated and directly used the reel.
A subtle feeling swept over my body and mind, as if something had changed, yet everything seemed normal.
Qian Shuo raised his hand, his mind stirred, and his chakra shifted accordingly. A wisp of icy coldness quietly appeared.
Ka, Ka, Ka—
As his chakra surged, a large patch of transparent ice quickly condensed in front of him, shimmering and reflecting the sunlight, bright and dazzling.
Qian Shuo stopped outputting his message, reached out and lightly touched the ice surface, a chill running through his palm.
Having already mastered the Transparent Release, Scorching Release, and Magnet Release, he was able to use Ice Release quite smoothly after fusing them together. However, at present, his Ice Release could only be used as a no-seal technique, and he had not yet mastered the Ice Release secret technique like Haku's in the original work.
Xingyuan Qianshuo shook his head and chuckled: "This bloodline limit is mainly used to showcase my chakra fusion talent for now, paving the way for my Wood Release in the future."
"Of course, if properly developed, it could become a powerful force, but it will take time and also rely on a large amount of chakra."
Having used up all the scrolls, Xingyuan Qianshuo then received the reward of "Chakra +20000".
Glancing at the chakra level in the system panel: "131804".
This number is not low and is enough to support a Kage-level battle. However, it is still insufficient if one wants to break through to the Super Kage level and unleash world-destroying techniques.
Several ways to increase chakra levels flashed through his mind:
First, there is the evolution of systemic physiques, such as the Senju physique, Uzumaki physique, Hyuga physique, and even the Mangekyou Sharingan, all of which can greatly enhance chakra;
Secondly, it can be achieved by using external means, such as the Hundred Healings Technique, Sage Mode, and Tailed Beast Chakra.
Third, one can rely on system rewards, self-cultivation, or consuming rare items such as Nitromethorphan.
"I've already obtained two fragments of the Thousand Hands Physique. If I get another one, I should be able to evolve it," Qian Shuo thought to himself.
The Thousand Hands Physique fragments can only be obtained from Tsunade.
Thinking of Tsunade, a warm smile involuntarily appeared on his lips, which then turned into a sly curve.
"Should I help Tsunade repair it again?" — I'd probably get beaten up. It'd be better to find an opportunity to make a bet, the stake being — a no-beating gold medal. Hmm, hmm.
After some contemplation, he began to ponder the vortex physique and the Hyuga physique.
The former already possesses a fragment of Mito Uzumaki's physique, and the most direct target for obtaining another is Kushina. However, he did not acquire it during the previous treatments for her minor injuries, and recently she has been staying at home, making it difficult for her to have opportunities for injury treatment.
Besides Kushina, there are other members of the Uzumaki clan in the ninja world: Nagato, Kaori's mother, and Honoka from the Summoning Island of the Land of the Sea.
Nagato is likely being monitored by White Zetsu, so it's best not to make contact with him rashly. However, Kaori's mother and Honoka could be considered for recruitment into the "Star" organization as backup. While their current strength may not be high, their potential should not be underestimated.
As for the Hyuga physique fragment, one has already been obtained from Hyuga Tetsuya.
He couldn't be sure whether the system's constitution would directly evolve into white eyes.
The Byakugan is not as easily concealed as the Sharingan, so there's no need to rush into this.
After extracting the rewards activated by "Main Mission 2", he looked at the progress of "Main Mission 1", the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world - 48%.
"With my current medical ninjutsu and actual combat strength, there are very few people in the ninja world who can surpass me. As for the system's progress, there's nothing to say. I'll just have to wait. Hopefully, I'll get some usable items when it reaches 50%."
After muttering a few complaints to himself, Xingyuan Qianshuo began to think about the side quest to recruit members of the "Star" organization.
Aside from promising supporting characters like Kaori's mother and Honoka, most of the other candidates are not quite suitable.
He recalled that Kakuzu, the "Immortal Hunter," had been incredibly diligent after joining Akatsuki in the original story. However, Kakuzu's unwavering belief in money made it a major challenge to instill in him the conviction of "peace in the ninja world" and increase his loyalty to that conviction.
He also thought of Sakumo Hatake and Tsunade.
The former is, after all, an elite Jonin of Konoha, and it's not advisable to easily reveal one's plans before sufficient trust is established. It's better to strengthen communication first, as there's still a side quest regarding his special medical condition to complete.
Chisaku is unwilling to involve Tsunade too deeply in the mission for the time being. She can be kept as a backup option, and if the mission proves difficult to complete, she can be asked to fill in.
After a moment's thought, having roughly grasped the situation, he formed hand seals to create shadow clones, each of whom then began their cultivation.
As noon approached, a small pile of glittering gold dust had accumulated in front of him, which looked quite pleasing.
After sealing the gold dust into a storage scroll, Chisaku activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and returned to a dark corner of the capital of the Land of Rivers.
Instead of going out to train in the afternoon, he embraced Tsunade and studied and deduced the "Hundred Healings Technique" together.
A day passes by quietly.
The following day, the ceremony for Minamoto no Oka Watari to succeed as the daimyo of Kawano Province was officially held.
Konoha and Sunagakure ninjas attended the ceremony, but most were just there for the spectacle—even for ninjas, witnessing the inauguration of a daimyo was a rare treat.
Xingyuan Qianshuo and Tsunade watched the ceremony hand in hand, both very interested.
The ceremony was elaborate, but it seemed rather shabby in the eyes of Xingyuan Qianshuo, a time traveler.
At the ceremony, Minamoto no Wataru, as the newly appointed daimyo, signed and affixed his seal to the scroll of the alliance between Konoha and Sunagakure. Two copies were made, one for himself and the other for Hatake Sakumo and Ebizo respectively.
Genjuku Wataru also displayed gifts given to him by Konoha and Sunagakure.
The gift from Konoha was a calligraphy scroll personally written by Hiruzen Sarutobi: "The waters of friendship flow far and wide."
The gift from Sunagakure was a plaque inscribed with the words: "Water of life, everlasting."
The sharp-eyed Hoshino Senju noticed that the inscription on the plaque was signed "Ebizo" and chuckled to himself, "Could it be that he found out about Konoha's gift and made it in a hurry? This guy's intelligence ability is indeed outstanding."
The ceremony lasted about an hour and a half.
At noon, the Daimyo Prefecture hosted a banquet for its officials, nobles, and ninjas from both countries.
After the luncheon, the people from Konoha and Sunagakure took their leave.
