Chapter 35 - 35: Initial Mastery

As the young mistress of the Hyuga clan's main family, Rinka had received the best training resources of the Hyuga clan since she was young. She had also already practiced water walking, though she wasn't very proficient yet. This was a good opportunity to continue practicing water walking. Moreover, if Kushina and Kazuki could do it, why couldn't she? Genius always commands respect. Rinka knew that Kazuki was much stronger than her, and she could allow Kazuki to be the leader of this small team. Watching Kazuki and Rinka both start working, Kushina puffed out her cheeks, but still obediently cooperated with Kazuki and Rinka in cleaning. They were responsible for clearing out the trash and dealing with the dirt in the hot spring. She would help dump the trash and clean up the garbage on the ground. Surely there was no problem with that? Seeing this, Kazuki nodded slightly. Perhaps after they returned, he would teach Kushina water walking and tree climbing and other daily skills. With Kushina's Chakra control, she could probably complete the corresponding training in a day. In fact, Kushina was a genius, and describing her as a mini Mito was not an exaggeration in the slightest. Her Chakra had an inhibitory effect on Tailed Beasts, and her Chakra volume was almost three times that of Mikoto. Her Chakra control was excellent, she possessed a large amount of Yang Release Chakra, and her Sealing Jutsu talent was outstanding. Such talent was quite rare even within the Uzumaki clan. It could be said that Kushina was more than just a little bit stronger than Naruto, but Naruto, with his Asura Chakra, was ultimately different from ordinary people. While they were working diligently, Tsunade was enjoying a relaxing hot spring bath, occasionally putting food into her mouth and sipping beer. Her life couldn't be better. If every day's missions were like this, Tsunade felt that being an instructor didn't seem so bad. … "So tired!" Kushina dispelled her Shadow Clone and continuously rubbed her temples. Having a Shadow Clone handle a large amount of work, even with Kushina's physique, was unbearable for a while. Kushina looked at Kazuki. He wasn't from the Uzumaki Clan, and he used more Shadow Clones than she did. Could he handle it? However, Kazuki's Chakra seemed to be quite a bit more than hers. Was this really the amount of Chakra an Uchiha should have? "Hmm, it's indeed a bit tiring." Kazuki also recalled his Shadow Clones. After a brief moment, he adapted to the situation. 'I had thought about using Shadow Clones for training before, but on second thought, it's still too tiring. The Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu is listed as a forbidden Jutsu for a reason.' After a Shadow Clone disappears, the main body has to bear the corresponding memories. Not everyone is Naruto, who can ignore these damages. Even the current Kazuki needs to be careful when using Shadow Clones. Many people can use Shadow Clones, but only Naruto truly applies Shadow Clones with divine mastery. Not even Tobirama did that. "Alright, you two go find Tsunade. I'll find a private room myself." After Kazuki settled things with the hot spring owner, he said to the two of them. If Tsunade wasn't willing to treat them, it wasn't impossible for him to treat them himself. Kagami had left Kazuki with good connections, allowing him to easily integrate into the Hokage faction. Otherwise, try letting other Uchiha do it. If it weren't for Kagami's connections, they would probably have decided to kill Kazuki the moment he displayed great strength. Let alone receiving so much resource assistance. One must know that the one primarily teaching Kazuki now was none other than the true big shot, Mito. In addition, the inheritance Kagami left for Kazuki was enough for him to live a comfortable life, as long as he didn't squander it or try to start a business. Similarly, Rinka was not short on money, and although Kushina only received living expenses from Mito, she was not short on money either. After obtaining Kushina's consent, the first heir of the Uzumaki clan, Mito handed over many of the Uzumaki clan's Sealing Jutsu to Konoha. To express Konoha's welcome to the Uzumaki clan, Hiruzen allocated many shop fronts to Kushina's name. Even Mito herself transferred a good portion of her assets to Kushina. In this way, Konoha's acquisition of the Uzumaki clan's Sealing Jutsu became well-deserved, unlike the opportunistic plundering of other villages. Other villages could plunder, but only Konoha could not do that. This also greatly enhanced Konoha's foundation. As for giving Kushina some property, Konoha could afford it. In fact, these properties were all donated to the village by the Senju clan before. This move not only earned Konoha a good reputation but also further won over Kushina's heart. If possible, attracting some of the escaped Uzumaki clan members would be even better. Fortunately, Tsunade was a very good teacher. Even if Kushina and the others didn't express it, she, as their teacher, didn't mind treating the three children to a hot spring bath. If she maintained a good relationship with them, she could borrow money from them if she lost money gambling, couldn't she? She had been eyeing Kushina's pocket money for a long time. ... Time flew by, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye. During these six months, Kazuki and the other two had been carrying out various tedious missions in the village, and after the missions were over, they would train with either Mito or Tsunade. Each of them had made significant improvements. For instance, Kazuki had mastered many Sealing Jutsu and had even initially grasped the Flying Thunder God Technique. However, this Flying Thunder God Technique was still vastly different from Minato's level, and there was still a considerable gap even with Tobirama's. He needed a relatively long time for positioning and activation, which meant that Kazuki could not yet use the Flying Thunder God Technique in combat. At most, it could only be used for travel. Yet, even so, it was enough to make Kazuki happy. This was the Flying Thunder God Technique after all. Of course, Kazuki had not yet told this news to others, not even Tsunade or Mito. This wasn't considered concealment, as his current state couldn't truly be considered having mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique. If it couldn't be instantly activated and applied in combat, how could it be called the Flying Thunder God Technique? *** 40 Advanced Chapters on patreon.com/alex_1000
