Transplanting Angry Hair Heaven, Tsunade Has Something to Say

Tonbei glanced at the crowd and said, "Now that Miss is safe, let's hurry back to the village. The villagers are getting impatient."

I don't want to go back.

Tsuchigumo Hotaru said stubbornly.

Afterwards, she repeated to Tonbei what she had just told Shinki and the others.

After listening, Tonbei could only sigh, "We're all family, yet they would do such a thing out of fear of Miss's power..."

"The world is so vast, yet there isn't a single place where we can find refuge..."

Towards the end, Tonbei sighed sadly.

Mr. Utakata, standing nearby, suggested, "The villagers' prejudice against you ultimately stems from the existence of the Secret Technique. When the former En no Gyōja passed on the Secret Technique to you, did he tell you how to break it?"

"It should be fine once the so-called Secret Technique is removed from you."

Naruto, unusually somber, glanced at the Utakata beside him and slowly said, "Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain; it's not so easy to move."

"However, now that Ying no longer possesses the Secret Technique, the villagers should try to accept her..."

Tsuchigumo Hotaru nearby, said firmly, "No, the Secret Technique is my grandfather's legacy!"

Tonbei suddenly comforted her, "Ah, actually, when the En no Gyōja transferred the Secret Technique to you, Miss, he foresaw this day would come, so he told me the way to undo it beforehand."

"In other words, he had long ago prepared for the Secret Technique's lineage to end..."

Tsuchigumo Hotaru stubbornly persisted, "Even that won't work..."

Shinki, who was standing nearby, heard the discussion and showed a thoughtful expression.

It now seems that removing the Secret Technique from Tsuchigumo Hotaru is the best option.

This will not only help her gain acceptance from the villagers, but also save her a lot of trouble in the future.

The Secret Techniques of the Tsuchigumo Clan are surely coveted by many...

But if we do that, the Secret Technique will disappear from this world, which is a real shame.

I've heard this Secret Technique is quite powerful.

After much deliberation, Shinki made a decision: it would be such a waste for something so good to just disappear like this, so let's try getting it for free.

"Transfer the Secret Techniques of your Tsuchigumo Clan to me. (o´Д`o)ノ"

Tsuchigumo Hotaru was stunned. "But you're not one of our clan after all..."

Tonbei also seemed somewhat embarrassed. "This..."

Shinki knew that the clan's Secret Techniques were extremely important and confidential, so he promised, "In exchange, you will have three opportunities to receive my protection."

As he spoke, Shinki took out three Gelel Stones from the Summoning Scroll, each stone bearing Shinki's unique Flying Thunder God Mark...

"I've enchanted these three stones with a special technique. Stimulate them with Chakra, and I'll receive your distress signals and arrive to your aid using the Flying Thunder God Technique..."

Tonbei hesitated.

He knew that, given Shinki's strength, even if they forcibly took it, there was nothing they could do...

Beside her, Tsuchigumo Hotaru kept her eyes fixed on Shinki he spoke.

Finally, after a brief discussion with Tonbei, she stepped forward and said, "Okay."

"However, I have one more condition."

Shinki shrugged. "Go ahead, just say it. As long as I can do it. ( ´▽` )"

Tsuchigumo Hotaru said frankly, "I hope you will be my teacher and teach me Ninjutsu."

"Don't refuse. Your strength is evident to the entire Shinobi World..."

Shinki:(||๐_๐)

Tsuchigumo Hotaru's request is a bit excessive!

I'm doing just fine with Naruto and me; having a little kid like this is so inconvenient...

"I refuse."

He said it bluntly.

Ying: "..."

Tonbei: "..."

Shinki's stance was firm, and the negotiations seemed to have reached a dead end...

Finally, Tonbei said, "Then, could you send the young lady to Konoha to study?"

Shinki thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea (^ワ^)."

"With your status, you can go to Konoha and learn whatever you want."

After further discussion, the matter was settled.

Then, the transfer of the core of the Angry Hair Heaven began...

With the help of the stealthy soldier's original control over the Secret Technique, combined with the Shinki's Sealing Jutsu skills, the ritual was completed in just a few dozen seconds...

Upon completion, the Angry Hair Heaven Core appeared on the right upper arm of the Shinki.

Shinki took off his shirt and glanced at the strangely shaped core.

He wasn't exactly erudite, but having traveled with Jiraiya various countries, he knew a thing or two.

At this moment, however, they couldn't identify what material the core was made of...

"The Shinobi World certainly holds many secrets."

The Shinki murmured.

When Tsuchigumo Hotaru saw Shinki take off his shirt, she was so excited she almost fainted.

(´◊ω◊`)

No girl with budding romantic feelings could say "no" to a boy who is handsome, tall, well-proportioned, and capable.

"Miss, Miss, calm down," Tonbei hurriedly reminded her.

Afterwards, because Tsuchigumo Hotaru really didn't want to return to the village, Shinki used Wood Release to build a small house outside the village for everyone to rest in, and then set off back to Konoha the next day.

Afterwards, Utakata bid farewell to the Shinki and returned to Kirigakure to inquire about the events of that year.

The next day.

Shinki used the Flying Thunder God to take Tonbei and Tsuchigumo Hotaru to Konoha.

The Hokage's Office.

Tsunade looked at Shinki with a puzzled expression. "Who are these two...?"

Shinki ┓( ´∀` )┏: "They are the heirs and retainers of the Tsuchigumo."

Tsunade immediately facepalmed. "I asked you to protect people and Secret Techniques, but you took it easy and brought them all the way to Konoha. (▼ヘ▼#)"

Afterwards, Shinki gave a helpless explanation of the situation.

After listening, Tsunade nodded repeatedly and gave Shinki a wink: ❛‿˂̵✧

It's as if it's saying, "Kid, well done! You actually managed to trick the Tsuchigumo Clan into revealing their Secret Technique. It's practically free!" ୧⍢⃝୨

A few minutes later, Tsunade sent someone to settle Tsuchigumo Hotaru, leaving only the master and apprentice in the Hokage's Office.

Tsunade asked, feigning seriousness, "That Secret Technique, have you tested its power?"

Shinki answered honestly, "No, I'll try after we leave the village."

Tsunade: "No, leaving the village is still too close. If you want to test it, go to the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind! (′д`σ)σ"

Shinki: "The Land of Wind is an ally of the Land of Fire, after all. How can you betray your friends like this?! (ー_ー)!!"

Tsunade retorted, "What? I've heard that 'Angry Hair Heaven' had a range of hundreds of kilometers during the Third Shinobi World War —it was terrifying! The Land of Wind is vast and sparsely populated, with endless yellow sand; it's enough for you to test it out..."

Tsunade changed the subject. "By the way, since you're back, I'd like to tell you something else."

Shinki nodded, showing an expression of being fully attentive.

Tsunade said, "Do you remember the message I sent you before, saying that several Ninjas with Kekkei Genkai had gone missing on the border of the Land of Earth...?"

Shinki nodded. "I remember, anyway, I don't go to places like that. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍"
