Chapter 49 Water Gate's Reward
Once the two had calmed down, Xingyuan Qianshuo quickly said goodbye to them and hurried back to his cultivation spot.
He was filled with anticipation for the reward after healing Might Guy—perhaps he would be able to draw the Eight Gates Formation.
That's a taijutsu technique that allows a mortal to fight against a god; it's the most exciting and thrilling ability in the original Naruto manga.
"It seems that Senzu Beans can be used in conjunction with the Eight Gates Formation."
A thought flashed through Xingyuan Qianshuo's mind: "In the Dragon Ball world, even powerful beings capable of destroying planets can recover quickly after consuming Senzu Beans. Therefore, the fatal injuries inflicted after opening the Gate of Death should also be able to heal."
Of course, he would never be the first to try; he always planned carefully before acting.
He couldn't be as passionate as Might Guy and his son, but if he ever saw them open the "Eight Gates Formation" in the future, he wouldn't mind giving them a Senzu Bean.
After all, the record of using the Eight Gates Formation twice is definitely worth a Senzu Bean—
During the Third Shinobi World War, Might Dai kicked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist into a pile of rubble; Might Guy nearly ended the war with a single kick during the Fourth Shinobi World War, earning him the title of "Emperor Guy".
Composing himself, Hoshino looked at Minato and Kushina, who were still struggling with the ball.
The two of them were sweating profusely under the shade of the tree, but they were having a great time.
The way he looked at them was like a fisherman staring at a big fish swimming near his hook—eager, sincere, even a little ardent.
Just as he turned around to continue practicing his water escape technique, a loud "bang" suddenly came from behind him—the ball had exploded.
"Wow! Minato, you did it!" Kushina cheered loudly.
"Yes, yes." Minato was momentarily lost in thought, still savoring the subtle sensation of chakra circulation just now.
"Ah~ I lost to you again." After being happy for her lover, Kushina belatedly pouted.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was somewhat surprised.
Although he knew that Shui Men was exceptionally talented, the speed at which he broke through the ball in less than a day was still astonishing.
Compared to the original story where Minato spent three years figuring out how to develop the Rasengan, now with his personal demonstration and guidance, the direction is clear, and the progress is naturally incomparable.
As Hoshino approached, Kushina cast a resentful glance at him, as if complaining that his "little trick" hadn't helped her beat Minato.
Xingyuan Qianshuo pretended not to see it—I gave you a chance, but you were useless.
Fortunately, her emotions came and went quickly. In the blink of an eye, she forgot about winning or losing the game and grabbed the water gate's hand, wanting to examine it closely.
"hiss--"
Minato gasped, a sharp pain shooting through his right hand.
"What happened? Are you hurt?" Kushina immediately became anxious.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's mind stirred slightly, and he immediately used the system to investigate:
[Name: Minato Namikaze]
[Condition: Minor damage to the chakra pathways and nerves in the right hand]
The meridian system in a ninja's body is spread throughout the entire body, with complex meridians surrounding organs, tissues, cells, and even proteins.
Minato had clearly been training for too long and exerted too much force, which impacted the chakra meridian system in his hands.
"You released too much chakra and injured the meridians in your hand. Let me take care of it," Hoshino Senju quickly stepped forward and said.
This type of localized damage is like a ruptured capillary; it can repair itself even without treatment.
But he was not willing to let go of this big fish that had taken the bait.
He conjured slender chakra needles with his fingertips, precisely targeting the acupoints on Minato's right hand meridian, temporarily slowing the flow of chakra, and then unleashed the Palm Healing Technique.
Yang Release chakra, like a gentle stream, penetrates every cell and every meridian, accelerating damage repair.
In less than a minute, the system gave a reward notification.
"Minato, congratulations on completing the second stage of your Rasengan training." Hoshino Senjutsu congratulated Minato before checking the system information.
"Thank you, Chisaku," Minato said sincerely.
"Next is the final stage. The first key word is 'rotation,' the second is 'power,' and the third is 'maintenance,'" Hoshino Senju explained to the two. "You need to condense high-density chakra in your palm, continuously release and maintain it stably, and finally solidify it for attack."
"While it's best to focus with one hand, you can try using shadow clones to assist when you're not yet proficient."
This is a trick that Naruto created and Konohamaru inherited, and now he is teaching it to Naruto's parents. It's quite interesting.
Mentioning shadow clones, he said to Kushina, "Kushina, you know that memories and experiences are transmitted back after shadow clones are dispelled, right? If you create multiple shadow clones to train together, it should accelerate the accumulation of experience."
"Yeah!" Kushina slapped her forehead.
She was aware of this, and had tried using shadow clones to learn sealing techniques so that her main body could slack off.
Who knew that due to his mindset, the shadow clone he created was also lazy.
"Why didn't you remind me sooner? Otherwise I could have won!" she said, shifting the blame without any politeness.
"Kushina—" Minato sighed helplessly.
"I'll use a shadow clone to cover for you today, so I won't be able to ask Biwako-sensei for leave again tomorrow," Hoshigen Chisaku said thoughtfully. "You can practice the Rasengan on your own from now on. If you have any questions, feel free to come to the hospital to find me. Please be careful and seek medical attention immediately if you get injured."
I have already received a reward from each of them today, and the network of relationships has been established. If I continue to wait, it would seem deliberate.
"It's alright, thank you for your hard work today, Chisaku," Minato replied. "Mastering the Rasengan takes time and practice; Kushina and I can train on our own."
"Mmm." Kushina nodded repeatedly.
Although she felt slightly apologetic towards this "cheap teacher," she was more looking forward to training alone with Minato.
It was nearly four o'clock in the afternoon when Xingyuan Qianshuo saw that the two still wanted to continue, so he decided not to stay and be a third wheel and left.
After leaving the third training ground, he took a detour to the Ganligan Dessert Shop, intending to buy a dessert for Tsunade.
As he walked slowly, he quietly opened the system notification:
[You have healed the minor damage to the meridians and nerves in Minato Namikaze's right hand, and have received the following rewards: 20% increase in nerve reaction speed, Mastery of the Hand-Sword Shadow Clone Technique, and +350 Chakra.]
"Wow, as expected of Minato Namikaze, he gains so much from just treating a minor injury." Hoshino Sensaku thought to himself with admiration.
After receiving the reward of "20% increase in neural reaction speed", he felt a tingling sensation all over his body, especially in his brain - he felt like he had "grown a brain", literally "grown a brain".
As far as the eye could see, the movements of the pedestrians around seemed to be a beat slower.
He understood that this was an illusion caused by the accelerated neural response not yet being adapted to.
Minato's lightning-fast reflexes were a talent he always envied.
UI.
In the ninja world, speed is of paramount importance, and Minato's speed is considered top-notch.
Even without relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique, his Body Flicker Technique is extremely outstanding, the core of which is his super-strong neural reflex.
This also gives him the ability to think quickly and formulate tactics instantly in the heat of battle, which can be called "instantaneous thinking explosive power".
Without strong neural response support, the Flying Thunder God Technique would be like the Flying Thunder Formation of the Genma Squad, only having a teleportation function and difficult to achieve an instant kill effect in actual combat.
After all, if there is a delay in reaction after teleporting, it is tantamount to walking into a trap and delivering yourself to someone's doorstep.
Carefully experiencing the gradually adapting neural responses, Xingyuan Qianshuo's mind stirred again, and he extracted the "Sword Shadow Clone Technique".
A flood of cultivation and application experience rushed into my mind.
This technique is an offensive ninjutsu developed by the Third Hokage based on the principle of shadow clones, and it is classified as A-rank difficulty.
The thrown shuriken can instantly split into countless physical clones, forming a large-scale, dense attack.
This is an advanced technique that combines ninja tools and ninjutsu, requiring rapid hand seals to create a physical clone after throwing the shuriken.
Its lethality depends on the size of the shuriken, the throwing speed, the number of clones, the concealment, and the timing.
The faster the throw, the more clones are created, and the greater the damage, but the higher the requirements for hand seal speed and chakra control.
This technique is highly effective in clearing out mobs and attacking large targets, and it remains powerful even in battles at the Kage or even Super Kage level.
"Trading one Rasengan for two rewards isn't a bad deal," Hoshino Senju thought to himself, strolling along with a cheerful air.
