Chapter 81 Taking on a Disciple, Sensory Ninjutsu! (10,000-word update, please subscribe and vote!)

April 10, Konoha Year 41.

The spring rain falls incessantly, as if even the heavens understand the sorrow of today.

At the memorial monument, Hoshino Shuichi, Uchiha Shisui, Namikaze Minato, and Uzumaki Kushina, all dressed in black, bid farewell to Kurama Sanyou.

Feeling the slight coolness of the spring rain, Hoshino Shizuka's thoughts immediately drifted to the Pure Land.

What would the Pure Land be like?

Is it related to the Sage of Six Paths?

So there is no reincarnation in this world, except for the Indra and Asura brothers?

Even the brothers Indra and Asura are reincarnations of chakra.

Should I learn the Impure World Reincarnation technique sometime and summon Sanyo to chat with him?

It seems that it's not necessary. If you're powerful enough, you can directly use necromancy to summon the soul without even needing a sacrifice.

Hoshino Shuichi's thoughts were racing until he felt someone tap his shoulder, which brought him back to his senses. He turned around and saw Uzumaki Kushina.

"Shuichi, come to Minato's house for dinner tomorrow, Jiraiya-sensei will be there too!"

Kushina Uzumaki extended an invitation.

Xingxia Xiu nodded: "Master's wife, I will arrive on time."

Kushina Uzumaki gently stroked Shuichi Hoshino's hair and whispered, "Don't overthink it!"

Minato Namikaze, standing nearby, said, "It's perfect timing. Come over tomorrow and I'll teach you sensory ninjutsu."

Hideichi Hoshino nodded repeatedly.

The crowd gradually dispersed, and finally Uchiha Shisui approached Hoshino Shuichi and invited him, "Shuichi, let's go feed the crows together!"

"good!"

Hoshino nodded in agreement and turned to leave with Uchiha Shisui.

Goodbye, Kurama Sanyo!

……

At Uchiha Shisui's house, Hoshino Shisui and Uchiha Shisui feed crows together.

He decided that once he bought the new house, he would take the nest of crows that Uchiha Shisui had given him back to raise.

Hmm, the Crow Clone Technique can also be put on the agenda.

By then, with the Clone Technique, Shadow Clone Technique, Fire Release Clone Technique, and a Crow Clone Technique, all that's left is the Clone Technique to earn the "Clone Expert" title.

Around noon, Hoshino Shizuka bid farewell to Uchiha Shisui and returned home.

Sure enough, Yakushi Nonou had already prepared the meal and was waiting for him with Asuka.

After lunch, Pharmacist Nonou went to Konoha Hospital, while Hoshino Shuichi and Asuka sat facing each other on the living room floor.

Hoshino Shuichi extended his palm, gesturing to Asuka.

Asuka quickly reached out as well, but was then grabbed by Hoshino Shuichi.

"The chakra nature transformation used in medical ninjutsu is Yang Release, which is not a commonly used ninjutsu system."

As Hoshita Shuichi spoke, a wisp of Yang Release chakra appeared on his right hand, which was holding Asuka's hand: "Asuka-neechan, your physique is special. You are born with powerful Yang Release abilities, so you should be able to easily master this chakra nature transformation."

"Chakra is said to be a power that can connect with the soul. Asuka-neechan, please feel this chakra carefully."

Asuka nodded nervously.

However, Hoshino Shuichi's chakra was as warm as the winter sun, very gentle, which relieved her tension a lot.

Following the instructions, I lowered my eyes and began to carefully feel the sensations.

Gradually, she sensed many things, or rather, information.

"How about it? Isn't it amazing?"

Hoshino Shuichi's voice suddenly rang in Asuka's mind.

Immediately afterwards, Asuka found herself in another world.

"This is a world of the soul!"

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "It's much more convenient to communicate here than outside, and there are many things that can't be explained in words. Here, you can feel them with your heart."

"That's how Dean Nonou taught me to quickly master Yang Release chakra nature transformation and then learn medical ninjutsu."

Asuka nodded, then whispered, "I can feel your feelings for Nonou-senpai... those feelings."

Hoshino Shuichi was taken aback at first, then his face darkened.

Asuka retreated in fright like a little rabbit, sensing Hoshino Shuichi's embarrassment and anger.

terrible!

As a result, their mental connection was severed.

Upon opening his eyes, Hoshino Shuichi almost jumped up in shock.

He even regretted teaching Asuka in this way.

"You should cultivate yourself first..."

Xingxia Xiu got up, threw down a sentence, and ran away.

Asuka breathed a sigh of relief, then blushed: "Luckily, Shuichi-kun can't sense me..."

"But Shuichi-kun is also quite pitiful, isn't he? That's probably why he has such feelings for Nonou-senpai, right?"

"Since Shuichi taught me medical ninjutsu in this way, I can't let him down."

Thinking about it, Asuka lowered her eyes and recalled the feeling of Yang Release chakra, then tried to mobilize her own power.

Having his forbidden thoughts exposed, Hoshino Shuichi quickly became even more shameless. He walked out of the bedroom and saw the green chakra light on Asuka's hand.

"This...this is it?"

Hoshino Shuichi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

This is too fast!

"That's what you call cheating!"

Hoshita Shuichi gritted his teeth inwardly.

Then he thought of Nagato, who had completed six chakra nature transformations in three years.

Clearly, his cheat code isn't big enough!

Sitting back down opposite Asuka, Hoshino Shuichi reached out and grabbed Asuka's hand, and the mental world reappeared.

"Now that we have mastered the Yang Release chakra nature transformation, let's begin learning medical ninjutsu."

"That's what Hoshino Shuichi said."

Asuka exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this too fast?"

Hoshino Shuichi decided to increase the intensity for her: "No."

"Let's begin. The first medical ninjutsu is the Healing Palm Technique!"

……

True geniuses obviously cannot be described by common sense.

In just one afternoon, Asuka was able to use the Palm Healing Technique. Although she wasn't very proficient, it was still quite terrifying.

At this moment, Hoshino Shuichi somewhat understood the shock others felt when they saw him develop a ninjutsu like "Lotus Steps."

Geniuses should understand geniuses.

So the next day, Hoshinobi Shuichi handed Asuka over to Pharmacist Nonou to take to Konoha Hospital.

Minato Namikaze's house.

When Hoshino arrived, Jiraiya was talking about his upcoming new work.

A paradise for intimate moments?

I don't think so.

When Hoshino Shuichi stepped forward and listened, he realized it wasn't; it was "The Tale of Genjishi Ninja".

"I believe this book will be a bestseller and spread throughout the entire ninja world."

Jiraiya was full of imagination and naivety.

"Jiraiya-sensei is right, I believe it can definitely be done."

Kushina Uzumaki smiled and said it, but it sounded a little perfunctory.

She pulled Hoshino Shuichi over and smiled at Jiraiya, saying, "Jiraiya-sensei, Minato is planning to formally accept Shuichi as his disciple."

Jiraiya's attention was immediately diverted upon hearing this, and he looked at Hoshino Hideaki and said, "Konoha's youngest Chunin is indeed outstanding."

He then looked at Minato Namikaze, who was all smiles, and said with great emotion, "I didn't expect that you, Minato, would be taking on disciples too!"

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "The things of our predecessors always need to be passed down to the next generation."

Hoshino Shuichi was stunned. He had thought it was just about teaching sensory ninjutsu, but he didn't expect that there would be a discipleship involved.

Although he, Uchiha Shisui, and Kurama Sanyou previously addressed Namikaze Minato as "teacher," they were not actually considered disciples.

Their true relationship is that of a Jonin teacher and student, or a Jonin and his subordinate.

The relationship between the teacher and the student is similar to that between Hoshino Shuichi and Kimura Hiroya at the Ninja Academy.

It is somewhat different from teachers and disciples like Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya, whose relationship is based on a lineage.

Of course, this also depends on the attitude of the Jonin and Chunin leading the team.

Although there is a formal ceremony to accept apprentices, there is no special ceremony.

Jiraiya's existence seems to serve as a witness.

After lunch, Jiraiya left gracefully, and Minato Namikaze formally taught Hoshino Shuichi the sensory ninjutsu he had mastered.

"Shuichi, this sensory ninjutsu was passed down from the Second Hokage."

Minato Namikaze took out a scroll and handed it to Shuichi Hoshino, explaining, "Although it doesn't have a special name, this sensory ninjutsu is extremely powerful and has very high precision."

"Once mastered, the range of perception depends on the caster's own chakra reserves."

"Of course, this technique is also quite difficult to master, after all, it is an S-rank technique."

At the end, Minato Namikaze laughed: "However, with Shuichi's talent, I believe it shouldn't be a problem."

Although Hoshino Shuichi didn't know exactly how good his sensory talent was, he still had a certain amount of confidence because of the comprehensive talent enhancement he received from the two tags: [Konoha Genius] and [Ninja Master].

Unrolling the scroll, Minato Namikaze began to formally impart his teachings: "The key to learning this sensory ninjutsu lies in feeling the power of the earth."

"Although the strength of this earth energy varies, it is omnipresent. Once you can sense it, you've entered the realm of its power."

The power of the earth?

Hoshino Hideichi wondered, could it be the power of the Earth's magnetic field?

At this moment, Minato Namikaze pointed to the complex formula on the scroll and said, "This is a formula left by the Second Hokage to help one sense the power of the earth. It's quite complicated."

"However, I have summarized a set of hand seals based on this technique, which can be used to release chakra and feel the power of the earth."

When Xingxia Xiu looked at the technique on the scroll, it was indeed very complicated, encompassing the five major systems of Earth Release, Lightning Release, Wind Release, Water Release, and Fire Release.

No, there's also Yang Release, and Yin Release, which Hoshino Shizuka only just began to master, which is the most representative type of illusion.

Of course, Yin Escape is not just illusion.

"Minato-sensei, this technique is indeed very complex."

Hoshino Shuichi's expression turned serious, but he became even more interested.

Minato Namikaze laughed and said, "It is indeed very complicated. If you want to start with this technique, you probably need to master the seven chakra nature transformations first."

"If I can fully master this technique, then I will definitely be able to master this sensory ninjutsu."

"But this requirement is too high, so the teacher summarized a set of hand seals from the power of the technique to assist it, but it is not as useful as the technique itself."

"Whether you can sense the power of the earth requires a bit of luck."

Kushina Uzumaki laughed and said, "For example, I haven't had much luck."

Minato Namikaze laughed awkwardly after hearing this.

Hoshita Shuichi immediately smiled at Uzumaki Kushina and said, "Don't worry, Madam, I've always been lucky."

……

I spent the whole afternoon studying sensory ninjutsu.

This technique is indeed very difficult; Xingxia Xiu spent an entire afternoon without even getting a grasp of it.

When he returned home in the evening, Hoshino also brought home a ninjutsu scroll.

He had a feeling that it would take him some time to learn this skill.

When he got home and washed up, Hoshino Shizuka focused his attention on the term tree again.

As expected, a new term was triggered.

Entry: [Perception Expert]

Acquisition Requirements: Master the sensory ninjutsu taught by your teacher, Minato Namikaze.

Effect: Perception talent increased by 100%, mental willpower increased by 100%.

Hoshino Shuichi looked somewhat surprised. Mental willpower?

"It seems there's a difference between the speed of thought processing and the mental power within ninjutsu."

Hoshino Shuichi was quite looking forward to it.

……

The next day, after spending half a day searching for a house, Hoshinobu Shuichi bought it and moved in that afternoon with Yakushi Nonou and Asuka.

The new house has six bedrooms and a dedicated study; it's very spacious.

Although Hoshino Hideyoshi shamelessly wanted to stay with Yakushi Nonou, he was getting old and needed a room to himself.

After moving, Hoshino Hideichi went to report to Konoha Hospital.

Unlike before, this time he officially joined Konoha Hospital and became a full-time medical ninja.
