Chapter 19: Minato: Fu Heiyao's debt of gratitude is never fully repaid.
As Minato looked at the spinning energy ball, he instinctively felt that this ninjutsu was very suitable for him.
But he didn't speak. He knew how precious A-rank ninjutsu was, and he still owed the debt of gratitude for Fukuyo Shinshinjutsu.
If we keep "borrowing" money, we'll never be able to repay the debt of gratitude.
"Wow, that's really cool ninjutsu! Can you teach me?"
Unlike Minato, Nawaki spoke his mind directly and was very straightforward. "Can I trade you my sister's ninjutsu?"
In the blink of an eye, he "sold" his sister away, which also proves the relationship between the siblings.
Although Tsunade wanted to beat Nawaki up every day, even for something as trivial as a toothache.
But Fukuyo was certain that even if he wanted to learn the Yin Seal, as long as Nawaki agreed, Tsunade would just curse and beat Nawaki up before keeping her promise.
Of course, Rope Tree is just lively, not really stupid; he would never agree to such a strategic-level tactic.
"No." Fu Heiyao shook his head. Rope Tree was a little disappointed, but then Fu Heiyao changed the subject.
"You can ask Kushina for advice after she learns it. This is a gift from me, so she has the right to decide what to do with it."
"Really!" The simple-minded Rope Tree's joy was palpable.
Minato was both happy and awkward, hesitant to speak, feeling as if he were being used as part of some kind of game.
Kushina, on the other hand, seemed to be overwhelmed by immense happiness, and felt dizzy.
Her bright, passionate eyes were fixed on Fu Heiyao.
Although Kushina appears fiery and cheerful on the surface, she is actually sensitive and insecure inside. This was the case when she first arrived at the Ninja Academy, where harsh words almost made her unable to lift her head.
It was Fu Heiyao who helped her drive those people away back then.
Although Fushiko was stubborn and even more defiant than her, Kushina felt that he was a kind and thoughtful person at heart.
When she saw her fight back against the bullies, (someone) even came to encourage her to take care of her feelings.
Kushina remembered all these details, but kept them hidden in her heart.
At this moment, looking at the Rasengan in Fuheiyao's palm, this azure "crystal ball" seemed like her eyes.
The fragments of memories in her heart seemed to swirl around the Rasengan like ribbons of light.
Yao, you truly are like a light illuminating my dark life.
Kushina's tears were almost uncontrollably streaming down her face. She lowered her head and said in a barely audible voice:
"Yao, why are you so nice to me? I'm just an ordinary person."
"You're no ordinary girl. What ordinary girl could send me flying two miles with a single elbow strike?" Fu Heiyao couldn't help but complain. "Besides, I haven't been that great to you. You were the one who shamelessly clung to me."
"Stubborn to the end!" Kushina was furious, and in her anger, she lashed out with her elbow, striking Obsidian.
Kushina almost got hit by the Rasengan; in the past, she would have used Lightning Release to electrocute Kushina.
However, upon noticing Kushina's unusual behavior, Fukuyo quietly withdrew the lightning-filled hand that was behind his back and instead began to rub Kushina's smooth red hair.
"I believe that even without me, you will protect yourself in your own way, because in my eyes you have always been a strong girl, so there is no need to feel guilty."
"If you absolutely must do something for me, then cultivate diligently. Becoming the second strongest being after me is the best way to repay me."
Kushina nodded like a well-behaved kitten, her clear, lake-like eyes staring intently at Fukuyo, as if she wanted him to remember her.
While Fushiko was comforting Kushina, Nawaki vaguely saw the small pearl that Kushina had dropped before he realized what was happening.
"Kushina, don't cry. Fushiko made you angry. I'll have my sister deal with him when we get back!"
Minato quickly stepped forward and covered his mouth, thus preventing a bloody incident.
"Good lad!" Orochimaru chuckled upon hearing Fushiko's words and seeing Kushina's blushing face.
At the same time, a large-scale operation was carried out in secret.
A ninjutsu without hand seals, and one with extremely high potential for growth, was given away just like that.
If Jiraiya had possessed that talent and courage back then, he wouldn't have acted like a coward in front of Tsunade.
Thinking of Jiraiya's pathetic state in front of Tsunade, unable to even speak properly, even the ruthless Orochimaru couldn't help but find it amusing.
Those who can hold their breath are basically diagnosed as being in a vegetative state.
Ultimately, the young girl was shy, and Kushina quickly hid behind Fushiko.
Fukuyo summoned the Jade Dog to wipe Kushina's tears.
Jade Dog: How can you be so selfish!
"Hmph, Rope Tree Bro, Little Yellow Hair, since you two still had some conscience before, I'll reluctantly teach you after I learn it."
Her emotions came and went quickly; Kushina soon returned to normal and was in a good mood.
Seeing that Fushiko didn't care about these things, and remembering that Nawaki and Minato had come to help out before, Kushina waved her hand and granted permission.
"Yay!" Rope Tree cheered.
"Thank you very much, Kushina. Of course, I will always remember Yo's kindness." Minato bowed solemnly to Kushina and Yo.
Unlike Nawaki, who was a young master, and Kushina and Fushiko, who were not lacking in ninjutsu, Minato, as a commoner, really lacked ninjutsu.
Many genin, even after graduating, can only perform the simple Three Body Techniques. To learn ninjutsu, they need the favor of a jonin instructor.
Even if they favored someone, they wouldn't give them an A-rank ninjutsu, let alone an extremely rare ninjutsu like a no-seal ninjutsu.
Kushina, the center of attention, stood proudly with her hands on her hips. Fukuyo thought that Kushina looked just like a cat at that moment.
"In that case, I'll be going now. I have other things to attend to."
Seeing that nothing else was wrong, Orochimaru prepared to leave.
He had only recently handed over his duties and needed to go home to rest.
Write a report and organize the inspirations gained during the task, otherwise it will be too late for Jiraiya tonight.
"Orochimaru-nii, you've finally come back, can you teach me again?" Nawaki ran up to Orochimaru and tugged at his sleeve.
Nawaki's expression was somewhat unnatural. He certainly didn't expect to be able to beat Fushiko and Kushina, his "in-laws."
But these days he could sense that Minato, who was originally his defeated opponent, was growing at an astonishing rate.
Minato held out under his command for longer and longer, and even showed signs of turning the tables.
If things continue like this, Rope Tree doesn't even dare to imagine what will happen.
Being outdone by three elementary school students younger than yourself is incredibly embarrassing no matter how you look at it.
"All right"
Seemingly annoyed by Nawaki's pleas, Orochimaru had no choice but to agree, inwardly thinking with resignation:
"It seems I'll have to give the old man the report he wanted tomorrow."
Orochimaru, an elite expert, was more than capable of teaching the four students still at the ninja academy.
After a period of instruction, everyone benefited greatly, with Minato's Body Flicker Technique reaching a new level under Orochimaru's guidance.
Orochimaru, who had previously thought Minato was unremarkable, was suddenly shocked and realized that none of the four were simple.
Fushiko, who has half Uchiha blood, was able to train in Lightning Release chakra and create ninjutsu at the age of six.
Nawaki, who inherited the Senju and Uzumaki physiques, and Princess Uzumaki, who could learn medical ninjutsu at the age of six.
Even Minato, an ordinary person, possessed extraordinary talent in ninjutsu comprehension and reaction speed.
"I really look forward to your growth. At that time, Konoha will probably usher in a golden age."
Orochimaru gazed earnestly at the Hokage Rock in the center of the village.
"Teacher, this prosperous era is just as you wished."
..........
As night deepened, darkness soon fell.
On the street, Fushiko and Kushina walked under the deserted streetlights.
The technology tree of Konoha, or rather the entire ninja world, is quite chaotic.
In a society where transportation relied on horse-drawn carriages, it was astonishing that they had electricity and modern appliances like refrigerators.
Aside from not having a cell phone, Fu Heiyao sometimes felt that he hadn't traveled through time at all, but was actually in a resort.
Kushina walked cheerfully ahead, while Fushiko walked leisurely with his hands in his pockets.
Because of her training in the Rasengan, Kushina studied with Fushiko Kuroyo until very late.
Kushina was initially worried about Grandma Mito, but Nawaki patted his chest and said he would take care of it.
Kushina acquiesced.
"I don't think putting your hands in your pockets is a good habit." Suddenly, Kushina stopped in her tracks.
She touched her lips with her finger, bent down slightly, stared at Fu Heiyao for a moment, and then remarked:
"I always feel that people who put their hands in their pockets are usually loners."
Fu Heiyao ignored her and continued to put his hands in his pockets.
He likes to interfere, and nobody can stop him.
Unexpectedly, Kushina suddenly moved closer to Fushiko, her gaze fixed on his right pocket.
"What are you doing!"
"Hehe." Kushina reached into Fushiko Kuroyo's pocket and pulled his hand out.
"You're such a busybody, Little Tomato."
Fu Heiya stared at Kushina for a few seconds, then let out a soft snort.
"Sigh, you always call me by my nickname, and I just stand there calling you by your name. It's not fair at all."
"Yo, I don't think this nickname is cute at all. How about I call you Hikari? It means the same thing as Yo."
"Not very good, cherry tomatoes."
Fu Heiyao pursed his lips, but for some inexplicable reason, he didn't refute it.
"Do as you please, but if word gets out, I'll shock you!"
The lights were bright, casting two shadows that were connected together.
However, the shadow on the left was more profound and eerie, sometimes undulating like waves, as if foreshadowing that its owner's mind was not at peace.
