Monkey Stick Technique

"Is this really a secret scroll left by my uncle?"

On the top floor of the Senju Clan's secret archive, Senju Tōsu's eyes widened, and the majestic image of his uncle, the God of Shinobi, gradually crumbled.

He truly didn't know how to describe this secret scroll; it was utterly disgusting to read. Especially when he saw his own father become a unit of measurement for his uncle's chakra bursts, the feeling was incredibly awkward.

"It's indeed Great-Grandfather's handwriting!"

Tsunade, standing beside him, nodded, confirming it was her great-grandfather's handwriting. The majestic image in her heart also collapsed.

Is this the secret scroll inheritance left by the God of Shinobi?

Did that perverted brat get this thing?

"What should we do about Grandma and that perverted brat?"

Shifting her gaze from the bizarre scroll, Tsunade asked gloomily.

They couldn't possibly let that kid end up with their grandmother and become her posthumous grandfather!

"Find a chance and kill that brat!"

Pulling his gaze away from the disgusting secret scroll, Senju Tōsu's face turned fierce.

Although this secret scroll indicated that the brat hadn't truly received his uncle's inheritance, he still couldn't tolerate the thought of the other party getting together with his aunt. If that happened, how would he address Danzō Shimura in the future?

Would he have to call him Grandpa?

He and the Senju Clan couldn't afford such disgrace!

"If you're not afraid of being hung up and beaten by Grandma, be my guest!"

Tsunade glared at him, strongly disapproving of such a radical approach.

Although she had wanted to annihilate that perverted brat before, she was just angry at the time. If she were to act, she definitely wouldn't kill him; at most, she'd beat him until he couldn't take care of himself.

Tsunade's reminder made Senju Tōsu shiver. Recalling the shadow of his childhood, he immediately rejected his previous suggestion and then came up with a new idea.

"Then let's castrate him!"

Since he couldn't kill him, he'd make sure the brat couldn't become a man, which would still solve the problem.

"Don't mess around. That perverted brat is Danzō Shimura's only son. If you make that old man heirless, he definitely won't let it go. I'll go talk to that perverted brat first and see if I can persuade him to leave Grandma voluntarily!"

After a warning, Tsunade still disagreed with this radical approach. She planned to find an opportunity to communicate with the perverted brat first and see if the matter could be resolved through verbal communication.

With that said, she stood up to search for the notes of her great-grandfather and second grandfather, preparing to complete the copying task assigned by her grandmother.

Meanwhile, Shimura Kentei on the other side was unaware that his twin brother had already become a target. He was currently in the Black Cauldron Space developing the C-rank Body Strengthening Secret Technique.

Although the first floor of the Senju secret archive didn't have much good stuff, it still gave him considerable gains. Some notes from the ancestors of the Senju Clan mentioned some real insights, giving him some ideas about the C-rank Body Strengthening Technique.

Of course, these alone were not enough to create a C-rank Body Strengthening Secret Technique, and it would require countless attempts and sacrifices.

For example, this time!

In the Black Cauldron Space, Shimura Kentei controlled his clone to assume a horse stance. After a short while, a muffled thud came from his chest, followed by blood gushing from his seven orifices.

In just that short period, his heart had exploded from the chakra impact. If it weren't for the clone in the Black Cauldron Space being able to revive infinitely, he would have died long ago.

Undeterred, he recovered and tried again. A few seconds later, he died again, but this time the cause of death was a ruptured blood vessel in his brain, also a fatal injury.

Ever since he discovered that the clone could revive and recover infinitely, he understood how to utilize this characteristic.

In his previous life, there were many methods to innovate something new, one of which was called trial and error.

As the name suggests, trial and error is a learning method that relies purely on accumulated experience, eliminating errors through constant experimentation.

By constantly experimenting, summarizing the lessons learned from failures, and finding the correct method based on that.

This method was the most time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it was the most suitable for the characteristics of a clone that could revive and recover infinitely.

It was through this trial-and-error method that, based on sonic vibrations, he developed the current Body Strengthening Secret Technique.

It was a pity that the Shimura Clan had not researched much in the area of physical reinforcement, and their foundation was severely lacking. Even with this cheat, after several years, he had only managed to deduce the Body Strengthening Secret Technique to the D-rank level.

After dying countless times, Shimura Kentei exited the Black Cauldron Space. He glanced at the morning sun shining through the window, got up, and prepared to wash up and have breakfast.

His life had been very regular these past few years. He slept for ten hours at night, while his consciousness stayed in the Black Cauldron Space, either testing himself to perfect the Body Strengthening Secret Technique or engaging in sparring with Keiko's clone.

That was real combat, a battle of life and death!

"Did I miss anything last night?"

Walking into the living room, Shimura Kentei saw a human-shaped indentation on the wall and felt that he might have missed a big show last night.

Without thinking further, after washing up, he went to the dining room to enjoy the sumptuous breakfast prepared by Shimura Lu. He glanced at Senju Nawaki, who was wolfing down his food opposite him, and curiously asked Shimura Lu, "Where's Miss Meito?"

"That adult seems to have a habit of sleeping in!"

Shimura Lu, also enjoying breakfast nearby, recalled the experience of escorting that adult back in the day and felt that the adult should be sleeping in at the moment.

"Leave a portion of breakfast for Miss!"

Shimura Kentei casually instructed, not surprised by this. After all, sleeping in was one of the character traits of beings like Miss, wasn't it?

Especially since that Miss seemed to have a very high status, which meant no elders were around to supervise her, so she naturally lived quite freely.

"It's already prepared!"

Nodding, Shimura Kentei then seemed to remember something. He took out a Sealed Item Scroll from the ninja tool bag behind him and unrolled it, revealing a large pile of scrolls.

"These are the inheritances from various clans we obtained at the last exchange. The young madam has already organized them!"

"I'm full!"

Seeing Shimura Kentei take out those scrolls, Senju Nawaki hurriedly finished the breakfast in front of him and ran off.

After all, the secret technique inheritances the Senju Clan had offered for trade last time weren't anything special. Leaving them behind would only make things more awkward.

Swallowing the congee in his mouth and rinsing his mouth with the tea beside him, Shimura Kentei casually picked up a scroll. Staring at the two characters "Sarutobi" on it, he fell into thought.

Given the volume of this scroll, it didn't seem like it could record any high-level inheritances.

"Didn't Hokage-uncle have a relationship so good with my father that they shared blankets? Why did he only bring out this little bit?"

Feeling puzzled, Shimura Kentei didn't understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's actions at all.

It was one thing for other ninja clans to do this, but as his father's best friend, why was he being so stingy?

And I'm still your nephew-in-law!

Shimura Lu remained silent, as this matter was truly difficult to explain. From the Sarutobi Clan's perspective, their actions were not wrong. It could only be said that his young master was too foolish.

He also couldn't understand why the clan head allowed the young master to act so recklessly.

Or was this matter truly authorized by the clan head?

Without waiting for Shimura Lu's silence, Shimura Kentei could also guess the reason. He could only blame himself for overestimating the magnanimity of the ninja clans.

"Exclude those clans from the catering plan. We'll go it alone!"

His expression gradually turned cold, and Shimura Kentei ordered in a deep voice.

He had asked Shimura Lu and the other eight to replicate those Chinese delicacies from his previous life, not just to satisfy his own appetite, but more importantly, to make money, big money!

His experiences in his previous life had already shown that to make big money, one had to target the wallets of women and children, and delicacies were undoubtedly a major breakthrough.

He had originally wanted to get rich together with the ninja clan forces in Konoha. Now it seemed that if those ninja clan forces didn't want to earn this money with their Master Ding, then they couldn't blame him for hogging this cake.

"The clan head has been recruiting many small families this time. We can let them participate. Otherwise, relying solely on our Shimura clan, it will be difficult to digest this delicious meal! After all, Master Yunzhongniao's series of businesses has already made many ninja clans envious."

"As you wish!"

He replied indifferently, Shimura Kentei didn't intend to interfere too much in this matter. As long as this business could make money and allow him to purchase what he wanted, that would be enough.

As for how to manage it, that was a matter for his father and his fiancée. He believed that those two would handle it well.

"Monkey Stick Technique!"

Unrolling the secret technique scroll from the Sarutobi Clan, Shimura Kentei looked at the first line of text and deeply felt the malice from the Sarutobi Clan.

"Is that old guy making fun of me?"

He angrily slammed his fist on the table. This was simply too much.

The Sarutobi Clan's taijutsu was centered around stick techniques, but the foundation of their stick techniques lay in the summoning beast, the Monkey Clan, which had been passed down through generations of the Sarutobi Clan.

The Monkey Clan possessed strong bodies and could transform into hard long staffs. Even a small portion of the monkeys could possess diamond-like bodies, capable of directly confronting some divine weapons and ninjutsu.

For example, Sarutobi Hiruzen's Monkey King, Enma, his body could be described as indestructible.

The Sarutobi Clan's stick techniques were varied and unpredictable, their foundation being that the staffs formed by the Monkey Clan could change freely, even transforming into arms for a secondary attack.

Once there was no assistance from the Monkey Clan, the power of this set of stick techniques would plummet, making it at most a D-rank taijutsu.

Was this what that old guy meant by equivalent exchange back then?

"He has the audacity to be a village leader with such petty generosity? No wonder Konoha has declined under your leadership!"

He sneered dismissively, Shimura Kentei did not hide his contempt.

As a village leader, he could lack other things, but he absolutely could not lack boldness and magnanimity. Look at Uncle Dong from Tazhai Village, how domineering he was!

It was clear that Sarutobi Hiruzen's title of "Ninja Hero" was not well-deserved, or perhaps that title was merely a compliment to his strength.

Shimura Lu remained silent. He was not in a position to criticize the Hokage. However, after Senju Nawaki left, he had set up a Wind Release barrier that could isolate sound propagation, ensuring that outsiders would not hear them.

After all, this was the Senju clan's territory, not their Shimura clan's.

Although Shimura Kentei was inwardly furious, he still finished reading the scroll of stick techniques.

Even though the power of these stick techniques would plummet without the cooperation of the Monkey Clan, they were still worth looking at and could further enrich his knowledge.

"Uncle Defū has also learned bad habits!"

Opening the secret technique scroll labeled "Akimichi," Shimura Kentei sighed.

He had originally thought that the thick-browed, big-eyed, and chubby-faced Defū Akimichi would be an honest person. He hadn't expected him to be in league with Sarutobi Hiruzen. It was a shame that he had respected and trusted the man so much before.

The Akimichi Clan had provided an A-rank secret technique, but like the Sarutobi Clan's monkey stick technique, it had significant limitations and was only suitable for the Akimichi Clan's special physique.

This secret technique was used by the Akimichi Clan to accelerate the digestion of food into chakra and store it in the body in the form of fat. When needed, it could be burned to generate a massive amount of chakra. It also incorporated some principles and techniques of the Expansion Jutsu, forming the foundation of the Akimichi Clan's series of expansion secret techniques.

However, this secret technique was only suitable for the Akimichi Clan. It was known that although the Akimichi Clan was only a secret technique clan, not a bloodline clan, their centuries of secret technique cultivation had already made their physiques different from ordinary people. When accumulating large amounts of fat, it would not put pressure on their bodies, and instantly consuming this fat would not cause sudden death or other symptoms.

Otherwise, if anyone else practiced this secret technique, they would suffer from hyperlipidemia, fatty liver, and other illnesses before they could even burn the fat.

So this thing was a useless item, neither tasty enough to eat nor worth keeping, yet the Akimichi Clan had the audacity to play tricks on him.

Fine, Danzō Shimura would remember this. In the future, even if they begged him on their knees, he wouldn't let them get rich together.

"Wait, this seems like a good way to make money too!"

Suddenly, as if struck by an idea, Shimura Kentei's gaze fell back on the Akimichi Secret Technique scroll in his hand, discovering a significant business opportunity within it.

A business opportunity that might even surpass his restaurant plans!
