Chapter 202: Team Kiyoshi and Tsunade
"This is the carrier of the Cursed Seal?"
Kiyoshi looked at the numerous cells and tissues in the culture dishes.
Needless to say, Kiyoshi knew that they must be cells from Jūgo.
Jūgo doesn't refer to a single person, but rather the name of a clan.
Similar to the Uchiha or Hyūga clans.
Their clan's bloodline allows them to naturally absorb natural energy.
Unlike others who need to concentrate to sense and synthesize natural energy within their bodies.
Ninjas who can learn Sage Mode are one in ten thousand.
The Jūgo clan, however, can all enter Sage Mode, but they are prone to berserking and unable to control this power.
"That's right, it's a special kind of cell." Orochimaru licked his lips.
As special as Hashirama cells.
However, the two have different focuses. Apart from Senjutsu, Hashirama cells have almost no weaknesses.
"I see."
Kiyoshi's eyes flickered.
The Cursed Seal is indeed good.
And no one has stipulated that Cursed Seal Mode cannot be stacked with Sage Mode.
From the fact that conventional Sage Mode requires temporary gathering of natural energy to synthesize Senjutsu Chakra, it can be seen that it absorbs external energy.
When Sasuke and the other ninjas used Cursed Seals, they activated it instantly.
This is naturally because they had already accumulated natural energy synthesized into Senjutsu Chakra in their cells.
That is, the Cursed Seal serves as a carrier.
When it needs to be used, it can be used directly, which can be said to be activated from the inside.
What Kiyoshi wants to do is to combine the advantages of the two to create a truly perfect Sage Mode.
After all, this thing can keep up with the later storyline.
(T/N: Later storyline meaning in Boruto where Ninjutsu is basically ineffective against Otsutsukis.)
"But these are the worst options. With your aptitude, Ryūchi Cave should be the obvious choice."
A dangerous light flashed in Orochimaru's eyes.
He was curious whether Kiyoshi could learn Sage Mode.
"Does Orochimaru-sama mean to take me there to learn it?"
"Let's wait until this incident is over. It's not stable right now." Orochimaru shook his head and said.
Iwagakure's actions were too big. To avoid panic, most of the villagers don't know that they have mobilized ten thousand ninjas.
They only know that Iwagakure will take action.
During the next stable window, he can take Kiyoshi to Ryūchi Cave.
"Thank you, Orochimaru-sama." Kiyoshi thanked him again.
Orochimaru drops a lot of loot.
Ninjutsu and Senjutsu, no wonder so many people are willing to follow him.
He really gives you a lot. But it also shows Orochimaru's disregard for life.
Going to Ryūchi Cave, if something goes wrong, it can be fatal.
Before going, Kiyoshi will have to prepare in advance.
Orochimaru then introduced some things to Kiyoshi, who silently memorized them all.
With Orochimaru's data, it will greatly facilitate his own research into Senjutsu.
The two continued to wander in the laboratory for nearly an hour.
Seeing that it was getting late, Kiyoshi offered to leave. Then, Kiyoshi's figure disappeared into the distance.
After Kiyoshi's leave, Orochimaru picked up a test tube. In the reflection of the light, his pale face was seen in the glass surface.
"I hope this wind doesn't stop here so boringly."
…
That night, Kiyoshi received his mission.
An Anbu came specifically to deliver this mission to Kiyoshi.
Kiyoshi had expected to have a mission assigned to him. After all, he is the only one in Konoha who can fly.
It requires considerable proficiency in both Wind Release and Fire Release to do what he had done.
However, Kiyoshi was slightly surprised by the reward.
'Sarutobi Hiruzen is really going all out.' Kiyoshi thought to himself.
Currently, the only A-rank ninjutsu he knows is Mystical Palm Technique, which belongs to the medical ninjutsu category.
Apart from that, he doesn't have any ninjutsu that reaches A-rank rank.
There are many good things in the Scroll of Seals. There are B-rank and S-rank ninjutsus.
"They will probably remove some options for me, but it should still be good."
Kiyoshi already had an idea about what kind of ninjutsu to choose.
Early the next morning, Kiyoshi went to find Tsunade.
As a result, no one came even after he waited for a while at Tsunade's house.
'Could she be waiting for me at the village gate?' Kiyoshi thought to himself.
Just then, the door opened with a tiny gap.
"Kiyoshi, Tsunade-sama has gone to the casino."
A small head poked out from the gap in the door.
"Casino?"
Kiyoshi had come to realize Tsunade's gambling addiction.
They are leaving at noon, and she is still gambling in the morning.
"Okay."
Kiyoshi nodded and turned to leave.
"Wait, Kiyoshi."
Shizune called out to Kiyoshi who was about to leave.
Kiyoshi turned around and looked at Shizune.
Shizune's short black hair was scattered on her face, making her look very gentle.
"I heard you have learned the Mystical Palm Technique?" Shizune asked hesitantly.
She usually helps out at Konoha Hospital.
She had heard the staff say that Nono had taught Kiyoshi a lot of medical ninjutsu before retiring, including the Mystical Palm Technique.
"Yes."
Kiyoshi didn't deny it.
Mastering A-rank combat-type ninjutsu and healing-type ninjutsu are completely different concepts.
The latter depends more on pure talent.
Rin is terrible at other ninjutsu, but she can already use B-rank medical ninjutsu.
It shouldn't be long before she can master Mystical Palm Technique, but there's not much time before her death.
Kiyoshi found that perhaps because the war had started early this time, the plot had become a little random.
Many of the events in the original story are being pushed back, and Rin is also much older than in the original story.
"If you have anything she doesn't understand, she can ask me."
Kiyoshi smiled slightly.
Tsunade either drinks or gambles most of the time. The time she teaches Shizune is actually very short.
Most of the time, Shizune has to accompany Tsunade to these occasions, and in extreme cases, she has to hide from debts with Tsunade everywhere.
How much money does Tsunade owe?
The answer given by "Book of Combatants" is that Tsunade owes as much as Jiraiya earns from writing books.
And Jiraiya's wealth is at least over six hundred million ryō.
"Eh, really?"
Shizune was stunned when she heard Kiyoshi's reply.
"Of course."
Kiyoshi nodded and then turned to leave.
Shizune can be regarded as one of Tsunade's closest people, and has been with Shizune since Katō Dan's death.
If he offers to teach Shizune, he will have many more opportunities to contact Tsunade in the future.
Super Strength and Yin Seal...
Kiyoshi actually covets them a lot.
Shizune stayed in place alone until Kiyoshi completely disappeared before shrinking her head back and closing the door.
Her face was still flushed.
Which girl doesn't yearn for love and romance?
Kiyoshi, whether in appearance or strength, is top-notch.
Shizune found that none of the peers she knew was more excellent than Kiyoshi.
Kakashi, who can be compared to him, has a cold face every day, and the bloody smell emanating from his body gets heavier and heavier each time they meet.
