Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 269 New Techniques

A few days later, 14-year-old Kushina Uzumaki appeared crisply in front of Guan Yi.

"Um... Senju-sensei?" she addressed him somewhat awkwardly, "I haven't thanked you for examining me the other day. From today onwards, I'll be in your care to guide me in the training of medical ninjutsu!"

“No need for formalities. Senju and Uzumaki have been family for many years.” Guan Yi smiled gently. “I’m only seven years older than you. If you feel uncomfortable calling me teacher, you can call me elder brother or big brother, it’s fine.”

"This...this isn't good." Kushina hesitated for a moment, then shook her head. This time, her address was much smoother: "Teacher."

Guan Yi nodded: "Alright, let's go. You should have heard about me. I haven't been a ninja as long as you have. I'm a newbie myself, and I never expected to suddenly become someone's teacher. I don't know what kind of gift to give you, so I'll just leave it at that and treat you to a meal instead."

"If you don't know what to choose, just don't choose at all, okay?" Kushina thought to herself. But when she met Guan Yi's questioning gaze, she quickly put on a smiling face that said, "Yes, thank you, teacher!"

Yes, 14-year-old Kushina is indeed a very well-behaved and cute girl.

Yes, very cute.

As for being well-behaved, well, maybe.

……

bang——

Kushina's fair hand slammed her hand on Guan Yi's desk with a deafening thud, and her angry voice almost echoed into the hospital corridor.

"Teacher! This damn chakra is completely disobedient!" Kushina Uzumaki's long crimson hair fluttered in the air as she moved, and she bristled like a kitten whose tail had been stepped on. "I've memorized all the essentials of the Healing Palm Technique, so why can't I use it in practice? Look at this potted plant, it was just that the leaves were turning yellow, but I almost made it wither and die!"

Guan Yi put down the sealing scroll in his hand, his gaze falling on the wilted clover. He stretched out his hand, and light green chakra covered the leaves, instantly relaxing the previously curled veins.

After restoring the leaves to their yellowish state, Guan Yi said, "Just a little more effort, and it will be over soon."

"Hoo—that's what you said a week ago, teacher." Kushina took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. She then took the potted plant, suppressing the flow of chakra as she began to cast a spell.

She held her breath for about half a minute, and seeing the leaves begin to wither again, Kushina said coldly, "Teacher, I want to give it a quick death."

"The hospital's property must be compensated."

"..."

"Damn it!" Kushina looked up at the sky and screamed in despair. When she looked down, she saw a familiar half of a boy's face through the crack in the door.

Her face stiffened instantly, and she said, "Ahem, teacher, how was my spirit just now? Did I look like an excellent female ninja?"

"Hmm, very good." Guan Yi replied perfunctorily, then said, "Water Gate? Come in."

Minato pushed open the door, somewhat apologetically saying, "I'm sorry, Lord Senju. I was bringing an elderly lady who had fallen to the hospital, and I happened to hear Kushina's cry as I passed by, so..."

"It's nothing," Guan Yi said. "Kushina was practicing her voice just now. We were talking about the spirit of ninjas. I said that when Lady Tsunade throws a punch, she sometimes shouts loudly. Just that spirit alone can intimidate the enemy. Kushina wants to try it."

Kushina blinked: "Yes, yes, that's it. Was I scary, Minato?"

"It's...it's quite scary," Minato stammered, his smile awkward yet polite.

Guan Yi almost couldn't help but laugh. He waved his hand and said, "Alright, that's about enough practice of the Palm Immortal Technique for today. I haven't seen Minato for several days. You two go chat and have dinner. After dinner, head back to the Thousand Hands Clan territory early and be careful."

"Um...see you later, teacher!"

Kushina and Minato left side by side.

Once outside, Kushina glanced at Minato's barely concealed smile and angrily punched him. "Fine, I really am about to collapse from studying medical ninjutsu. Maybe I just don't have the talent for it. Even I can't fool myself with the lies my teacher told." "Don't give up, Kushina. Did Lord Senju Yuki ever say you weren't suited for medical ninjutsu? Perhaps learning medical ninjutsu is inherently a very difficult thing," Little Sun's voice was warm.

Ever since Minato's heroic rescue of the damsel in distress, the precocious teenagers have made little attempt to hide their feelings for each other, and they talk about everything.

"That's exactly what the teacher said, and he even boasted about himself, saying that a medical ninjutsu genius like him is one in a hundred years." Kushina pouted and said, "I have to learn slowly."

"Lord Senju is indeed a genius. There are all sorts of legends about him in the village, and he seems to be a reliable and powerful ninja."

"Reliable and powerful?" Kushina thought for a moment and said, "That's certainly true. I encountered another attack three days ago, by Minato."

Minato was taken aback and asked nervously, "Are they ninjas from Kumogakure again?"

"I don't know." Kushina shook her head: "That night, my teacher and I were walking back to the Senju clan's territory when two masked guys suddenly jumped out and tried to attack me. Before I could react, those two guys crashed into the wall... completely embedded in it."

Even after defeating those two, the teacher's eyes never left the sealing scroll in his hand. Later, some ANBU ninjas heard the noise and came over, so the teacher and I stopped paying attention to those two.

"I see. That sounds much safer. You're living in the Senju clan's territory now, which is much safer than when you were living alone..."

Those two are Danzo's men.

Perhaps he wanted to test whether Guan Yi truly had the ability to protect the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so he had to do something unnecessary. Guan Yi didn't hold back when he threw his punch; those two will need at least half a year to recover.

Unless they are sent to Guan Yizhi so that Guan Yizhi can use them to experiment with some new techniques.

In the nearly one month since taking Kushina as his disciple, Guan Yi has actually shifted his focus of training from medical ninjutsu to sealing techniques.

The sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan are completely accessible to the Senju clan. This is why Tsunade, with her foundation in sealing techniques, was able to learn the 'Yin Seal' from Mito Uzumaki.

Naturally, Guan Yi, who had hollowed out Tsunade, had also mastered the method of casting the Yin Seal.

This powerful S-rank medical ninjutsu, which involves extracting and storing chakra in the forehead and releasing it during battle, is not exclusive to women. However, women are more adept at chakra manipulation and have a greater chance of mastering the Yin Seal.

For Guan Yi, the requirements for chakra control were not even requirements. The reason he couldn't condense a chakra mark on his forehead was simply because he didn't have enough chakra. This was something that required accumulation over time, and Guan Yi had no way to cheat.

Even if he can do what others do in three to five years in a year, his current chakra level is still only at the lower-middle level of a Jonin, and may not be even one-tenth of Tsunade's level.

The growth rate of the chakra he extracts each day cannot meet Guan Yi's expectations, so where would he get extra chakra to condense the Yin Sealing Technique?

Therefore, in order to make up for this biggest weakness of his own, and also in order to quickly obtain a large amount of magic power in the world of Frilian, Guan Yi attempted to analyze and improve the Yin Sealing Technique.

Combining the Four Gates Harmony Formation from Under One Person, Guan Yi had an idea—what if he could create a reverse loop when using chakra, allowing the redundant consumption generated during chakra use to return to his body, and use this chakra to condense the Yin Sealing Technique?
An inexhaustible supply of chakra?

No, it won't be that exaggerated, but at least we can always maintain a minimum level of combat strength.

Guan Yi brought over the bonsai that had been withered by Kushina. His palm glowed with green light, and he infused it with chakra full of life energy, causing the clover's leaves to quickly turn green again.

At the same time, strands of chakra trickled back into Guan Yi's body through the green light in his palm, flowing along his meridians.

If Guan Yi outputs 10 points of chakra, and 7 points of chakra are applied to the blade, then the returned chakra is 1 point of the 3 points of chakra that were originally consumed in the middle.

"It's feasible, but far from it..."

Time slowly passed as he mentored his disciple Kushina and researched new techniques.
