Ninja Sect Secret Technique

Under the large tree in front of the cliffside encampment, Shimura Kentei repeatedly struck a massive rock suspended by tough vines with his inner shield, strangely producing no sound with each impact.

After every strike, the suspended rock would swing high up before recoiling, like a pendulum.

This was training specifically for powerful enemies like Tsunade Hime. Compared to the one-ton iron ball in the basement, this rock weighed a full two tons, and its impact force when swinging down was astonishing.

If he didn't constantly use the soft energy techniques of Tai Chi Fist to neutralize it, he would have suffered internal injuries from the impacts long ago.

"You little pervert, are you guarding against me?"

Leaping to the side, Tsunade watched her cheap disciple's training method and felt it was full of malice.

This targeted training looked exactly like he was preparing for her. What was this kid up to?

"How could that be? I'm just targeting ninjas like you, not you personally!"

Retreating slightly, Shimura Kentei panted, indicating he wasn't targeting her personally, but rather opponents with terrifying brute strength like hers.

The impression Tsunade's final burst of power in their last battle at the Ninja Academy left on him was profound. He was still very far from being called strong. Even with the Battle Suit's assistance, he could only manage to stay afloat among the Jonin, and even then, he couldn't be invincible.

Unless he could develop the C-Rank Body Strengthening Secret Technique, he would have to continue to lay low and develop his strength discreetly.

"You little pervert!"

Tsunade glared at him unhappily before looking at the still-swinging giant rock and nodding. "You've basically found your path. Although it's not very ninja-like, as long as you continue on this road, becoming the strongest below Kage level in the future should be no problem."

Although she didn't have high hopes for her cheap disciple, his Money Power was truly formidable. With the support of that nearly unbeatable Battle Suit, he would be able to dominate the Jonin ranks in the future.

Shimura Kentei paid no mind to Tsunade's lack of confidence. As a "cheater" with a golden finger, he didn't need others' understanding, nor could they understand him.

Just like how ordinary people couldn't comprehend some of Senju Hashirama's inhuman pronouncements, cheaters and normal people were entirely different species.

"Can't even the Battle Suit that makes Kentei-kun so powerful deal with Kage-level experts?"

Hyuga Suzune asked curiously as she walked over, and Uchiha Mikoto beside her also cast a curious glance.

"What do you think Kage-level experts are?"

Tsunade shot them a sideways glance, fully aware of what Kage level represented. Even she herself wasn't considered strong at the Quasi-Kage level.

At the very least, she was far from a match for the White Fang, who was also at the Quasi-Kage level.

"That Battle Suit of his is indeed very good, but it's not insurmountable for Kage-level experts. After all, the radiation from the Sealing Crystal also takes time to affect the opponent's Chakra. This time might be very short, but some ninjas with instant burst power can ignore it.

For example, Hatake Sakumo could break through his Battle Suit with a single strike. The Third Raikage of the Cloud Village's strongest spear, Hell Stab, could even pierce his outer shield, and the Third Tsuchikage of the Stone Village's Dust Release could decompose him into molecules..."

Tsunade listed a series of current Kage-level experts in the Ninja World who could inflict fatal damage on Shimura Kentei. They could either directly break through that Battle Suit and even his great shield, or kill him through other means.

Shimura Kentei wasn't surprised by this, as he never intended to be invincible in the world relying solely on that Battle Suit.

However, his Battle Suit still had significant growth potential. He had integrated a lot of Chakra Metal into it, allowing for enchantment and reinforcement.

If he could cultivate Earth Release Chakra in the future, he could directly apply a hardening technique to the Battle Suit, increasing its strength severalfold.

Adding Wind Release or Lightning Release to his Great Sword for armor-piercing capabilities would be explosive, possibly even allowing him to chip away at a Susanoo.

If he didn't have these prospects, why would he spend a fortune to create a Battle Suit that was only invincible at the Jonin level?

Of course, the current Battle Suit was sufficient for now.

After all, setting aside whether he would encounter Kage-level experts, if he did, he would definitely run away. He had no interest in engaging in over-level challenges; dominating weaker opponents was the way to go.

Otherwise, why did he create that Great Sword, two meters in total length?

"Young Master!"

Just then, a shout came from the dense forest not far away. A moment later, a young man ran out from within – it was Shimura Genma.

"You found the little horse I wanted so quickly?"

Seeing his younger brother running over, Shimura Kentei was overjoyed.

He had previously asked his younger brother to find a promising little horse to raise as his own Ninja Beast.

He had expected it to take months given his strict requirements, but it had only taken a little over a week.

This younger brother had great potential and was worth nurturing vigorously!

"I found it. I've confirmed it. This type of horse not only has strong stamina but is also thick-skinned and tough, very resistant to damage. Its mouth is also large with astonishing bite force. Furthermore, it can swim, allowing you, Young Master, to fight in water."

Taking off the basket on his back, Shimura Genma presented a young foal within, as if seeking praise. This was the result of his efforts for over a week, having finally found one at a circus.

However, Shimura Kentei stared at the familiar-shaped foal, completely bewildered, and then fell into thought.

Wait, is a hippopotamus a horse?

That's right, this foal was a baby hippopotamus. Its eyes weren't even open yet; it looked like it had just been born.

He had asked Shimura Genma to find a horse beast with extremely strong stamina, toughness, and a certain level of aggression to assist him, and also to complement his "flashy but weak" Sagittarius Heavy Gold Battle Suit.

But he never imagined his younger brother would find him a baby hippopotamus.

If Aiolos knew he was pairing a hippopotamus with this flashy but weak Sagittarius Heavy Gold Battle Suit, he would probably be so angry he'd spit out a mouthful of old blood.

"So cute!"

Hyuga Suzune stared at the baby hippopotamus with bright, sparkling eyes, feeling her heart about to melt.

This little thing was so plump and adorable!

Uchiha Mikoto, standing nearby, also stared intently at the baby hippopotamus, clearly captivated by the adorable creature.

"It really is cute, and it'll be even cuter when it grows up!"

Shimura Kentei muttered his speechless comment, having never doubted the appearance of hippos.

This creature was one of the few in nature that didn't need to rely on its looks to grow; it was endearingly cute whether as a baby or an adult.

"Alright, I'll take this little guy!"

Sighing, Shimura Kentei resigned himself. At least compared to ordinary horses, hippos had many advantages. Their thick fat and skin made them incredibly durable, and their charges were like tanks.

Furthermore, their massive mouths, capable of opening ninety degrees, or even one hundred and fifty degrees for the exceptionally gifted, were also a formidable weapon.

"Young Master, this is mother hippo's milk. I've already bought its parents and am keeping them at the clan grounds. I'll bring a portion of milk every day..."

Taking out a large milk jug from his back basket, Shimura Genma explained to his young master how to care for the baby hippo. He had gathered all this information from the circus.

After listening to his younger brother's explanation of hippo habits, Shimura Kentei sent him away. He then looked at the baby hippo cradled in Hyuga Suzune's arms, feeling troubled.

This thing was difficult to raise!

"This isn't a ninja beast!"

After carefully examining the baby hippo, Tsunade declared that it had no chakra within it whatsoever, making it far from a ninja beast cub and essentially valueless for cultivation.

"I plan to train it as a combat partner. I just happened to acquire a Beast Taming Secret Method from the Hatake clan, which should allow it to develop chakra quickly."

Nodding, Shimura Kentei revealed his intentions.

Like human ninjas, the chakra within ninja beasts in this world originated from the Sage of Six Paths, or rather, other members of the Ninja Sect.

In the early days, the chakra of Ninja Sect members could connect with each other, just as the Sage of Six Paths passed his chakra to others. Some Ninja Sect members passed their chakra to their companion pets, creating ninja beasts with chakra, which eventually evolved into the numerous ninja beast tribes of today.

In the previous transaction, compared to other ninja clans, the Hatake clan, led by the White Fang of Konoha, had been much more sincere. The secret technique they offered was of a very high level, and if calculated seriously, it could be classified as an S-rank secret technique.

It might even be the secret technique used by Ninja Sect members to create ninja beasts back then, making its value immeasurable and sufficient to cultivate many ninja beast tribes.

The Hatake clan's ninja hounds were cultivated using this very secret technique.

"Then you need to be prepared. Even the Hatake clan's ninja hounds took more than ten generations to achieve their current success; the initial ninja hounds were not strong.

Even so, ninja hounds are only used as support within the Hatake clan and are not considered primary combatants."

Gazing deeply at his cheap disciple, Tsunade remained unoptimistic about this.

"It's fine, I can use money to quickly boost this little guy's strength. If a hundred million isn't enough, I'll spend ten billion, a hundred billion!"

Shimura Kentei once again displayed his overwhelming "Money Power." He might not have much else, but his financial capabilities were definitely formidable.

"〒_〒!"

This display of wealth brought tears to Tsunade's eyes. She, the proud daughter of the Senju clan, was actually less wealthy than her disciple, and the gap between them wasn't just a little bit, but a true lot!

"Hey, now it's time to teach us the second stage of water-walking training techniques."

Uchiha Mikoto withdrew her hand from petting the baby hippo and said coldly.

She hadn't forgotten that three days ago, this guy had claimed that the techniques they used back then weren't the true second stage of water-walking, a statement that piqued her curiosity.

It wasn't just Uchiha Mikoto who was curious; Hyuga Suzune and Tsunade were equally intrigued.

"Don't call me 'hey hey hey,' that's very rude. Call me 'Senior Brother'!"

With a slight smile, before he got the data from this sponsor sister, he didn't mind training her a bit.

"You..."

His attitude infuriated the girl, and her one-tomoe Sharingan involuntarily surfaced. However, she ultimately suppressed her anger and reluctantly called him "Senior Brother."

After all, she was the one asking for a favor right now.

"Mm!"

Nodding with satisfaction, Shimura Kentei took the baby hippo from Hyuga Suzune's arms and said, "Follow me!"

The second stage of water-walking training required a special environment, and the Death Forest happened to have such an environment.

Soon, Shimura Kentei led the three girls to a waterfall. As he removed his outer and inner armor, he said, "Watch carefully. I'll only demonstrate once. Whether you can learn it depends on yourselves."

"You can't perform the second stage of water-walking techniques while wearing your battle suit either?"

Tsunade asked curiously, watching her cheap disciple quickly strip down to just his Venom Suit.

She knew how strong this cheap disciple's chakra control was; in some aspects, it wasn't inferior to hers.

Yet, even he had to take off his entire battle suit to demonstrate, which showed how difficult the second stage of water-walking techniques was.

"It's not a matter of difficulty. It's mainly that my chakra reserves are too low to support the entire battle suit during the second stage of water-walking!"

Shimura Kentei shrugged helplessly, feeling utterly despairing about his chakra reserves.

This kind of weak-start opening was really a pain. If it weren't for his cheat system, he would have long ago followed the wishes of his "Pot Kage" father and gone home to live like a pig, eating and idling his life away!—
