Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

"It's not an easy task to develop a ninjutsu similar to the Tailed Beast Ball." Jiraiya drank the sake in the glass and touched his chin and said.

A large part of the Jinchūriki's deterrent power lies in the Tailed Beast Ball. The destructive power of the Tailed Beast Ball is so great that even Jiraiya has no way to take it head-on and can only find a way to dodge it.

"I imitated the shape of the Tailed Beast Ball and developed it in the form of a chakra ball, but now the chakra ball is very unstable and its power cannot even penetrate a big tree." Minato continued to talk about the difficulties he encountered during development.

"If it's unstable, I think Minato can find a solid round object to help you practice, such as a ball or something." Mu Yue said after thinking for a while.

Minato's eyes lit up, and he felt that Mu Yue's suggestion was very good. He smiled and thanked Mu Yue: "Using physical objects to assist in practice is indeed a good idea."

After talking about the Rasengan, Mu Yue also took the opportunity to express his previous ideas.

"It's indeed not appropriate to set a seal on a single chakra acupoint to store chakra. I thought about it carefully and thought that if we could expand the scope and include more chakra meridian acupoints, it might work."

"You haven't given up on this bold idea yet. It may work in theory, but it requires a high level of chakra control accuracy and a strong foundation in medical ninjutsu." Jiraiya sighed.

He is still not optimistic about this direction. Developing on the chakra meridians and acupoints is too risky and may easily ruin himself.

Of course, the risk is great but the improvement is also great. If it can really be achieved, the improvement in strength will be very direct, which is equivalent to having a lot more chakra out of thin air.

"Well, I am somewhat confident in the accuracy of chakra operation, but I don't really understand medical ninjutsu. I haven't had much time to study it. So far, I have only mastered the basic palm technique, so I have always been in the theoretical stage." Mu Yue continued following Jiraiya's words.

Upon hearing that Mu Yue had started learning medical ninjutsu, Jiraiya swallowed his words of advice.

Fortunately, Mu Yue knows what is important and will not do anything without being sure.

Hearing Mu Yue's words, Minato was in awe. Mu Yue had really put a lot of effort into developing the technique to store chakra. Not only did he study the sealing technique painstakingly, he was also learning medical ninjutsu. This made Minato feel that he had been a little lax recently and had not spent enough time developing ninjutsu.

"Lord Jiraiya, you and Lady Tsunade are both Sannin. Could you introduce me to them? I would like to ask Lady Tsunade some questions about medical ninjutsu." After laying the groundwork, Mu Yue stated his ultimate goal.

He had thought about looking for Tsunade before, but he was not well prepared at that time. Now he has a certain fame in the Konoha ninja circle, and his medical ninjutsu also came from the Ninja Hall, so there are no major problems in all aspects.

"Tsunade, her medical ninjutsu is indeed very powerful and should be of great help to your studies, but she is not an easy person to talk to." Jiraiya fell into thought.

He and Tsunade are very familiar with each other. They are teammates and good friends, and they have been through life and death together countless times.

To be fair, Jiraiya thought that Tsunade was a kind-hearted person. In order to reduce the casualty rate of ninjas, Tsunade proposed that each team be equipped with a medical ninja. Although it was not adopted, it was considered an effort.

But to say that Tsunade has a good temper is an exaggeration. After being a teammate for so many years, how could Jiraiya not know Tsunade's temper?

"There's no problem in taking you to see her, but I can't guarantee that she will help you solve the problem." Jiraiya poured himself a glass of wine and replied.

If Mu Yue was seriously injured or had some disease, Jiraiya would be confident that Tsunade would treat her. As a medical ninja, Tsunade still had medical ethics, but if it came to teaching something, Jiraiya really couldn't guarantee that it would work. This was a very personal matter, and Tsunade had the right to teach or not.

"Well, Lord Jiraiya, it would be fine if you could introduce me. I will communicate with Lady Tsunade myself about other matters." Mu Yue smiled and toasted to express her gratitude. It would definitely be much better to have Jiraiya as a bridge than to go there on her own.

Jiraiya laughed and patted Mu Yue's shoulder and said:

"You should be fine. He's only slightly less handsome than me, and he's an amazing cook. If you offer cooking skills as a condition, she might agree."

"As far as I remember, she really enjoyed drinking and eating tender chicken."

Mu Yue secretly noted that Tsunade liked to eat tender chicken.

After eating and drinking, Minato helped the already drunk Jiraiya out, and Mu Yue studied sealing techniques until 11:30 in the evening, then washed up and went to bed.

……

The next morning, Mu Yue created a shadow clone to handle school affairs. The Ninja School was about to start, and there were some things there that needed his attention. Then he prepared to go to the southern forest to teach his disciples.

But when Mu Yue finished his meal and was about to leave, a ninja knocked on his door.

"Please proceed to the Hokage Building. The Sandaime-sama wants to see you," the ninja said succinctly.

Mu Yue nodded and left a shadow clone, waiting for the real body to set off for the Hokage Building. After that, the shadow clone went to the Southern Forest, where Shisui was still waiting.

Boom!

Mu Yue knocked on the door of the Hokage's office.

"Come in." Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice came from inside the office.

Mu Yue pushed the door open and found that besides Sarutobi Hiruzen there was another ninja he didn't know.

"Sir Sandaime." Mu Yue greeted Sarutobi Hiruzen with respect, gave a smile to the unfamiliar ninja, and walked to the desk.

"Is there any mission?" Mu Yue asked Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head, then said with a smile: "No, it's you who got promoted."

"Due to your outstanding performance in the Ninja School and your achievements on the battlefield, you are qualified to be promoted to Jonin."

As he spoke, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave Mu Yue a brand new ninja certificate. It no longer said Special Jonin, but only Jonin.

"Thank you, Sandaime-sama." Mu Yue's face showed excitement and gratitude, as if he had accomplished something extremely important, and Sarutobi Hiruzen was his benefactor who helped him in the process.

Of course, this was just an act, Mu Yue didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion in her heart.

His promotion from Special Jonin to Jonin was within his expectations. He had demonstrated such strong strength and made considerable contributions on the battlefield. Coupled with his performance in the Ninja School, it was normal for him to be promoted to Jonin during the war period when the promotion conditions were more relaxed.

In fact, this was slower than Mu Yue had expected. After all, it had been some time since he returned from the battlefield. Mu Yue guessed that Sarutobi Hiruzen was preparing to collectively promote a group of meritorious ninjas, so it was slightly delayed.

Mu Yue glanced at the information of the unknown ninja out of the corner of her eye, and found that he was also promoted to Jonin.

"No need to thank me. This is what you have earned through your own merit and strength. It is the reward you deserve for protecting Konoha." Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a satisfied smile.

Mu Yue did not continue to say nice things, but his expression was still excited and grateful. He knew that although Sarutobi Hiruzen denied it, he was very happy in his heart.

This time, only the ninja level was promoted, and there were no changes to other positions.

The reason is very simple. His position in the Ninja School cannot be promoted in a short time. There are two people above him, one is the teacher class leader Shimono Hisanobu, and the other is the principal Sarutobi Hiruzen.

The teacher class leader is just an ordinary jonin, but he has been working in the ninja school for a long time and is an experienced jonin. It is impossible to remove him for no reason. It is even more impossible for him to be the principal of Sarutobi Hiruzen. This is a very special position at present.

Of course, after all, he was promoted to a Jonin, which means he is considered to be in the upper echelons of Konoha, so he would not be without any substantial rewards. Mu Yue got two more opportunities to choose ninjutsu at the Ninjutsu Hall.

Before Mu Yue left, two more ninjas walked into the Hokage's office, which further confirmed Mu Yue's idea. Normally, there would not be so many people coming to the Hokage building together.

After leaving the Hokage Building, Mu Yue went directly to the Southern Forest to practice.

After noon, Mu Yue returned to his home in the main city, because Jiraiya said yesterday that he would take him to see Tsunade at noon today. Such a thing definitely cannot be done by the shadow clone.

"I never get tired of it no matter how many times I eat it." Jiraiya, who had a free lunch, sighed with a satisfied look on his face.

"Try not to mention topics like your brother or lover in front of her." Jiraiya reminded her as he thought of something.

"I will." Mu Yue nodded, indicating that she had written down all these taboos.

Then Jiraiya took Mu Yue directly to Tsunade's house.

"At this time, it feels like she should have just woken up. If she is not at home, then we can only look for her in a nearby casino." Jiraiya didn't dare to say that he could definitely find Tsunade at her home.

Although Tsunade is not looking for the child of prophecy like him, she has no interest in any ninja affairs because of the death of her brother and lover. If it weren't for the war, she probably wouldn't be in Konoha now.

Mu Yue and Jiraiya were lucky. As soon as they walked into Tsunade's yard, they saw Tsunade and Shizune sitting in the corridor under the eaves.

"Jiraiya, why are you here? If you try to peek, I will beat you to death." Tsunade asked Jiraiya with her arms folded.

"Haha, is this the impression I have of you? But now is not the time to collect information." Jiraiya replied with a laugh without any shyness.

There will be another chapter later

Chapter 286: Tsunade

"Teacher Mu Yue." Jingyin was a little surprised to see Mu Yue, and then greeted Mu Yue.

She is also a student graduating this year. She has participated in Mu Yue’s special training and studied with Mu Yue for a period of time. She has a very good impression of Mu Yue.

Mu Yue smiled gently and nodded.

"Huh?" Tsunade looked at Mu Yue in confusion after hearing Shizune's voice. After looking carefully, she found that it was not Minato Namikaze, but someone she didn't know.

Because Minato Namikaze often followed Jiraiya, and Mu Yue also had similar blonde hair and a gentle smile on her face, Tsunade didn't notice and assumed that the person behind Jiraiya was Minato Namikaze.

"Shizune, do you know him?" Tsunade turned to look at Shizune and asked.

"Well, his name is Hanyu Muyue. He taught me for a while and he's a very good teacher." Jingyin answered softly.

"Isn't that the teacher of the ninja school?" Tsunade said after thinking for a while.

Since she is Shizue's instructor, Mu Yue can only be a teacher at the Ninja School.

Shizune nodded.

"Don't underestimate Mu Yue. Although he is a teacher in the ninja school, Mu Yue is very powerful. Not only did he defeat Bakuton Hunter, he also helped me repel the Jinchūriki." Jiraiya listed Mu Yue's most outstanding battle records.

"I didn't say that the teachers in ninja schools must be weak, so what brings you here today?" Tsunade asked, slapping her mouth with her hand as if she hadn't gotten enough sleep.

She even forgot when she went to bed yesterday, she only remembered drinking and eating all the time.

"Mu Yue has been learning medical ninjutsu recently and has encountered some difficulties, so he would like to ask you for advice." Jiraiya stated the purpose of their visit.

Although Mu Yue said yesterday that he could communicate on his own, Jiraiya felt it would be better if he spoke up, after all, they had been friends for so many years.

"Want to teach me medical ninjutsu? Then you can go back. I don't have the time nor the interest to teach others medical ninjutsu." Tsunade refused directly after hearing this.

Tsunade might help cure illnesses, but teaching is out of the question. Right now, apart from Shizune, no one else is interested.

Jiraiya looked a little embarrassed. He had expected Tsunade to refuse, but he didn't expect it to be so quick and direct.

"Lady Tsunade, I won't waste too much of your time, and I won't let you teach me for free. I can pay you." Mu Yue said with a smile without changing her expression.

Hearing that there would be a reward, Tsunade became a little interested. After all, her extravagant lifestyle was very expensive. Sometimes, if she lost a little faster, she could lose millions of taels in one night.

"How much money can you give me? I am one of the three ninjas and the strongest medical ninja in the ninja world." Tsunade emphasized her identity.

It just so happened that she had lost almost all her money recently, and wanted to get some money back from Mu Yue.

Seeing that Tsunade became negotiable again after talking about the reward, Jiraiya showed a helpless smile on his face.

"How about one hundred thousand taels per hour?" Mu Yue offered a very high price.

The normal process is that Mu Yue would first offer a low price and then wait for Tsunade to raise the price and then Mu Yue would cut it down a little bit. After all, if it was 100,000 taels per hour, Mu Yue's small treasury would not be able to support a whole day.

However, Mu Yue has already thought of other ways. If everything goes well, he will only need to spend some money in the early stage.

"One hundred thousand ryo for an hour." Tsunade was a little tempted after hearing this.

One hundred thousand taels is not a small amount. The reward for an ordinary B-level task is only about one hundred thousand taels, and you can't take it all for yourself.

"In this way, I can only deal with it for a few hours a day, and then I can go gambling happily after a few days." Thinking of this, Tsunade decided to take this job.

"Since Shizune said you're a great teacher, I'll reluctantly agree to your request," Tsunade finally replied.

"Thank you, Lady Tsunade." Mu Yue thanked with a gentle smile.

All things are difficult at the beginning. As long as Tsunade is willing to teach at the beginning, things will be much easier later.

"Do you want to start now? If so, I'll start counting. Also, I'll charge you 100,000 ryo even if it's less than an hour." Tsunade reminded.

Jiraiya interrupted Mu Yue with his eyes and pulled Mu Yue aside.

"Haha, sorry Mu Yue, Tsunade is not like this usually. She must have lost too much money recently." Jiraiya explained for Tsunade.

Tsunade does have a bad temper, but this situation is relatively rare nowadays.

"It's okay. After all, Lady Tsunade is not my teacher, so it's normal to pay her." Mu Yue said with a smile.

Then Jiraiya touched his clothes, took out 600,000 taels, handed it to Mu Yue and said:

"I don't have much money on me, but here are about 600,000 taels. Take it first."

He was the one who brought Mu Yue here, and now he feels a little guilty about what has happened to her. Although the money is for Mu Yue, it is actually for Tsunade.

If Tsunade took the initiative to borrow money from Jiraiya, Jiraiya wouldn't even blink an eye even if it was a few million.

"Thank you, Lord Jiraiya, for your kindness. After all, this is my business and it should not be your responsibility." Mu Yue declined Jiraiya's kindness.

Looking at Mu Yue's determined gaze, Jiraiya patted Mu Yue's shoulder without saying anything more, and walked back to Tsunade with Mu Yue.

"Tsunade, it's been a while since we've had dinner together. Do you want to have a drink together tonight? I'll call Orochimaru too." Jiraiya invited with a smile.

Since the Second Shinobi World War, the three of them have rarely gathered together. Jiraiya and Tsunade traveled around the Ninja World, leaving behind legends of the big fat sheep, while Orochimaru devoted himself to studying various forbidden ninjutsu.

"Drinking, that's no problem." Tsunade agreed readily.

She had limited time to teach, but plenty of time to drink.

After inviting Tsunade to drink together, Jiraiya left. He still had to look for Orochimaru, but Orochimaru was not easy to find as he was usually not at home.
