Tricking Miss Mido

"Bang!"

"That perverted brat actually had Grandma do that kind of thing for him?"

Tsunade slammed her fist on the table, her eyes blazing with fury.

Beside her, Senju Tōsu's expression was terrifyingly grim, his killing intent radiating without any attempt to conceal it.

"Nawaki, you go out first. I have something to discuss with Uncle."

Forcing herself to suppress her anger, Tsunade signaled for her startled younger brother to leave. Some things were not suitable to be discussed in front of him.

Frightened by Senju Tōsu's killing intent, Senju Nawaki scrambled out, his legs feeling weak.

Having grown up with a silver spoon in his mouth, he had never experienced such a situation. Not wetting himself was already a sign of his resilience.

"Uncle, let's do as you said last night. Castrate that perverted brat!"

Hatingly stating her decision, Tsunade knew there was no time for her to talk sense into the brat. They had to act quickly and castrate him, otherwise, who knew if he'd end up giving her a little uncle.

"We can't do it within the village. You need to take that kid outside the village under the guise of a mission."

Speaking with a sinister tone, Senju Tōsu was already plotting how to castrate the kid.

Leaving aside Tsunade and Senju Tōsu, the uncle and nephew, who were now devising a plan, Shimura Kentei, after enduring over half a day of torment, finally completed the Eight Trigrams Seal.

"Afterward, I'll write down the Eight Trigrams Seal for you. Learn it as quickly as possible so you can control it freely.

Also, find a way to cultivate the acquired Yin-Yang Release in the future to supplement the Eight Trigrams Seal's consumption. Otherwise, without replenishment, the seal will gradually weaken and eventually collapse."

Wiping the fine sweat from her brow, Uzumaki Mito instructed him. This also left her quite exhausted.

"Miss Mido, do you also believe I can cultivate acquired chakra natures?"

Slightly recovering, Shimura Kentei looked at the young lady before him in surprise. He hadn't expected her to have such confidence in him.

"Your situation is indeed a bit special, but there should be a way to repair those mutated chakra points. If Hashirama were still here, his strength should be able to help you repair your body."

Uzumaki Mito found it difficult to discourage him, so she could only express that the situation was not unsolvable.

Sensing that Uzumaki Mito's words were merely meant to comfort him, Shimura Kentei was not discouraged. He humbly asked for advice, "If I want to cultivate acquired chakra natures, which attribute do you think I should start with?"

"Yang Release and Yin Release!"

Without hesitation, she gave her recommendation. Uzumaki Mito understood all seven chakra natures and their essence. If Shimura Kentei were to cultivate, it would be best to start with Yin Release and Yang Release.

"Why?"

Curiosity piqued, Shimura Kentei couldn't quite understand.

Among the seven basic chakra natures, ninjutsu of the Yin and Yang attributes were the most difficult to cultivate. Yin attribute represented Genjutsu, while Yang attribute represented Medical Ninjutsu.

Genjutsu Ninja and Medical Ninja accounted for less than one percent of the entire ninja population, indicating the extreme difficulty in cultivating these two chakra natures.

Of course, Uchiha, being a Kekkei Genkai clan, was an exception. They were born with an advantage.

According to his previous plan, he intended to start with the relatively simpler Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth chakra natures. However, Uzumaki Mito suggested starting with the most difficult Yin and Yang.

"Chakra is formed by the fusion of life force and spiritual energy. The characteristics of Yang and Yin attribute chakra are most compatible with life force and spiritual energy.

With life force and spiritual energy as a foundation, comprehending Yin and Yang attributes will be simpler. Moreover, the mystical uses of Yin Yang attribute chakra are endless and should be helpful for your physical condition."

Patiently explaining this secret to Shimura Kentei, Uzumaki Mito also hoped that this young brother could cultivate acquired Yin-Yang attributes.

If he had Yin-Yang attributes, it should be able to improve his current physical condition.

"Life, spirit, Yin Yang!"

Muttering these three words, Shimura Kentei fell into thought.

What the young lady said was true. Compared to Yin and Yang attributes, the five chakra natures of Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth had no foundation within the human body. For him, the difficulty of cultivation would be greater.

After all, even if he used his combined abilities to master the acquired nature transformation of Wind, Fire, Lightning, Water, and Earth in the Black Cauldron Space, he would still need to manifest it in his physical body in the real world.

The real body lacked the conveniences of his combined form, so the difficulty was imaginable.

"The Eight Trigrams Seal was originally created to refine external powers. Besides storing one's own chakra like the Yin Seal, it can also seal external objects with a single attribute to refine their power and strengthen oneself.

This function should be of great help to you!"

Seeing that Shimura Kentei had gained some understanding, Uzumaki Mito revealed the greatest function of the Eight Trigrams Seal.

Due to being a premature baby, this young brother had very poor talent in chakra cultivation. Even now, his own chakra reserves did not meet the minimum standard for a genin.

This was a problem with his physical foundation, which was very difficult to change on his own at this stage. Therefore, he needed to rely on external forces to change it. This was also the main reason she ultimately chose the Eight Trigrams Seal.

"I've noted that. Thank you, Miss Mido!"

Nodding solemnly, Shimura Kentei remembered this kindness.

Although this was a transaction, the young lady genuinely cared for him, far more than those ninja clans.

"No need for thanks. When do you plan to start teaching Nawaki?"

Changing the subject, Uzumaki Mito inquired about the plan for nurturing Senju Nawaki.

"It can start anytime. However, before that, I'd like to ask about Nawaki's innate chakra nature."

He was quite curious about this. His fiancée had investigated it before, but unfortunately, the information obtained was very limited. It seemed the Senju Clan was intentionally concealing information about Senju Nawaki.

"Nawaki is special, like Tobirama, he has chakra of all attributes."

Uzumaki Mito didn't hide anything, and she wasn't optimistic about this.

Although Senju Nawaki possessed chakra of all attributes, just like his uncle Senju Tobirama, his talent was top-tier in the entire Ninja World.

It's a pity that kid's brain is mediocre, and he's often stubborn. He can't possibly reach the realm Senju Tobirama achieved back then, and it's even questionable if he can grow to Sarutobi Hiruzen's level.

"No wonder!"

After the shock, Shimura Kentei suddenly understood.

No wonder in the original work, the Senju Clan would have Senju Nawaki apprentice under Orochimaru. It turns out he possesses the same all-attribute potential as Orochimaru.

However, having all-attribute potential isn't necessarily a good thing. It requires a good brain to develop it. In the original work, there weren't many people with all-attribute potential, only Senju Tobirama, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Hatake Kakashi.

These people all had very sharp minds, but Senju Nawaki!

Does that kid have a brain?

No wonder the Senju Clan would keep Senju Nawaki's information under wraps. Among the four powerful individuals with all-attribute potential back then, Senju Tobirama was the strongest. Besides possessing many forbidden jutsus, he also had the Senju Hashirama's Body, granting him immense vitality and vast chakra.

The various ninja clans in Konoha now don't want another Senju Tobirama, or even Senju Hashirama, to appear from the Senju Clan. This includes their own father and the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If the news of Senju Nawaki possessing all-attribute potential leaks, those clans will surely become uneasy, and it's estimated that it will be quite difficult for Senju Nawaki to survive until adulthood.

"In that case, I suggest letting Senju Nawaki follow my current path first, focus on strengthening his body, and only then cultivate those elemental ninjutsu once he reaches the Quasi-Kage Level."

After some thought, Shimura Kentei felt that letting Senju Nawaki take the path of "playing the pig to eat the tiger" was the most stable option.

He could develop secretly for a while, and once he had the strength to protect himself, he could slowly reveal his all-attribute potential. He believed that by the time those clan powers discovered it, the kid would have reached the True Kage Level under his tutelage.

Even if the kid is stubborn, with that level of strength as a foundation, it would be hard for him to die.

"I had a similar idea before, and the path you're taking now is also very good. Relying on this battle suit, it would be difficult for anyone except a Kage-level expert proficient in taijutsu to defeat you, so your self-preservation is assured.

However, the cost of this battle suit is too high, and we Senju Clan don't have that much cash to build one."

Uzumaki Mito agreed with Shimura Kentei's suggestion. She had also wanted Nawaki to hide his talents and grow, only revealing his full potential once he had the strength to protect himself.

"A full set of battle suits isn't necessary for now, but we can start by making a low-cost version of an inner armor for Nawaki to wear. I have some leftover materials that would be enough to make one.

But doing so would require sealing almost all of his chakra, and he'd have to train his chakra's condensation and control using a sealing crystal first."

Shimura Kentei proactively offered to make a low-cost inner armor for Nawaki. How could he miss an opportunity to increase Miss's favorability?

If I contribute a low-cost inner armor, would Miss Mido feel embarrassed not to give me an S-rank Uzumaki Sealing Technique?

"I can engrave a modified Eight Trigrams Seal for him, sealing away ninety-nine percent of his chakra during normal times."

She still agreed, and Uzumaki Mito even stated that she would later create an Eight Trigrams Seal for Nawaki to seal away ninety-nine percent of his chakra.

"Modified?"

This word gave Shimura Kentei a bad feeling. Could Miss Mido have been inspired by the sealing process she just performed on him to modify the Eight Trigrams Seal?

Seeing Miss Mido's embarrassed smile, Shimura Kentei clutched his chest, feeling as if he had been stabbed.

Do test subjects have no human rights?

"Miss, you don't understand. Pain is a stepping stone to progress for us men. Only through the tempering of suffering can one shine and grow into a true man!

The First and Second Lords also experienced the hardships of the Warring States Period to achieve their accomplishments.

Those who achieve great things must first have their minds distressed, their bodies strained, their stomachs emptied, and endure endless suffering. Only then can their character become resilient and gain abilities they originally lacked.

As the direct grandson of the First Lord, Nawaki must walk the path of the First Lord to truly grow."

His expression changed, and Shimura Kentei spoke solemnly, stating that only men who experience suffering are true men.

Just kidding, I, Lord Ding, have gone through pain, and you think you can escape unscathed?

"Is there such a saying?"

Blinking her innocent eyes, Uzumaki Mito heard this for the first time. However, upon reflection, it seemed to make sense.

Seeing Miss Mido swayed, Shimura Kentei pressed on with his persuasion: "Miss Mido, haven't you noticed that since the establishment of Konoha, the overall strength of those ninja clans has been slowly declining?

Take our Shimura Clan, for example. In the late Warring States Period, we had three True Kage Level experts. My grandfather and Senior Sarutobi Sasuke could even fight Uchiha Madara without being at a disadvantage, earning the respect of the Uchiha Clan.

But now? The entire Shimura Clan only has my father as a True Kage Level expert, and we only have two Quasi-Kage Level individuals. This is far from the Warring States Period.

The head of the Hyuga Clan during the Warring States Period, Hyuga Tenin, could contend with Uchiha Madara alone. But look at the current Hyuga Clan; calling them a powerful clan is an insult to the term 'powerful clan.'

This is a regression, and a tragedy.

As the saying goes, 'When living in peace, think of danger.' Without the tense and oppressive atmosphere of the Warring States Period, people have gradually become complacent..."

Listening to Shimura Kentei's earnest deception, Uzumaki Mito's expression gradually became solemn. As someone who had lived through the Warring States Period, she understood the logic and quickly made a decision.

"You are right. It seems I was short-sighted. The previous Eight Trigrams Seal was already perfect and needs no modification."

Seeing Miss Mido make the correct decision, Shimura Kentei smiled with relief. Everything he did was for Nawaki's own good, not out of petty revenge. He swore by his father's conscience!
