Chapter 41: It's a Ninjutsu Without Hand Seals, A-Rank!

Konoha Camp.

When Uchiha Yoru and Tsunade returned to the camp from the back mountain together, many shinobi who saw this scene started discussing it in secret.

"Good heavens, I heard it was at the waterfall in the back mountain."

"Hmph! What a tough Uchiha bone!"

"Tch, are you jealous?"

Under Tsunade's powerful strength, her senses were naturally more acute, especially after the recent events, she intentionally probed discreetly.

With Tsunade's current strength, how many shinobi in the camp could eavesdrop without being discovered?

As expected!

Upon hearing the private discussions of these shinobi, Tsunade felt even more stifled. Her straightforward personality didn't care about such gossip.

But what about the sensitive and proud Uchiha?

Without any trace, she glanced at Uchiha Yoru, who had returned with her.

Uchiha Yoru's expression was calm, with a gentle smile on his face, as if all the gossip didn't harm him at all.

But in Tsunade's heart, was that really possible?

Other shinobi might not care, but this was an Uchiha!

Obsession and pride were already etched into their bones.

"Hey, hey, considering you've already mastered the Mystical Palm Technique, that's good, worth praising, but what about the Summoning Jutsu?"

Inside the tent, as Tsunade thoroughly examined Uchiha Yoru's body, she couldn't help but coldly reprimand him, as if to say, my Katsuyu summoning beast is from one of the Three Great Sage Locations, so don't be difficult, kid.

Facing Tsunade's stern scolding, he seemed accustomed to playing the roles of teacher, older sister, or commander, always using these tones with her.

"Captain Tsunade, are you referring to Lord Katsuyu?"

Uchiha Yoru chuckled lightly, raised his hand, and gently patted the sickbed. Instantly, a ball of white smoke the size of a watermelon appeared.

As the white smoke dissipated, a soft, blue-green and white slug summoning beast was revealed, named Katsuyu.

"Yoru, Lady Tsunade."

A gentle and soft voice sounded. Katsuyu, whose personality was also the kindest among summoning beasts, immediately lifted Uchiha Yoru's spirits with just its voice. He smiled and nodded:

"Lord Katsuyu, hello."

Seeing Katsuyu, Tsunade's eyes twitched, and she snorted unhappily:

"Brat, you've been too reckless with Shadow Clones for the past three months."

Under Tsunade's bossy tone, Katsuyu also noticed the injury on Uchiha Yoru's palm and gently slithered forward.

His arm and palm felt a cool, soft sensation, like being immersed in jelly, which made Uchiha Yoru involuntarily show a comfortable expression.

"Thank you, Lord Katsuyu."

Uchiha Yoru replied with a smile. He knew this good-tempered summoning beast had lived for an unknown amount of time and was even considered the most humble Sage in front of Tsunade.

Seeing this, Tsunade snorted and sat down on a nearby chair, scolding him with a fierce expression.

"Brat, you're too reckless. Concentrating your ninjutsu chakra at such high density is inherently dangerous, and the high-speed rotational friction causes significant damage to your palms.

Furthermore, the continuous high-intensity chakra release for three months has caused severe fatigue in the meridians of your right arm. If you continue to be reckless, you might cripple this hand."

Tsunade seemed accustomed to lecturing Uchiha Yoru, especially when she put on a stern face and spoke in the tone of a commander or a guiding Jonin teacher.

Uchiha Yoru listened to every word of her lecture with a gentle and sincere attitude. Then, he slowly raised his head and smiled with a tone almost as gentle as Katsuyu's:

"Thank you for your concern, Captain Tsunade, but this ninjutsu's training is complete."

Concern!?

The word "concern" startled Tsunade for a moment, and she immediately snorted coldly.

Uchiha Yoru, however, maintained the demeanor of a well-behaved child, ready to accept any scolding.

He wanted Tsunade to get used to, or rather, to truly acknowledge, her current concern for him, rather than her instinctive, self-righteous concern.

In psychology, Tsunade's instinctive concern was like something taken for granted. But when Uchiha Yoru voiced it, coupled with the previous gossip, it would create a different feeling in Tsunade's heart, giving her the illusion that she was actually caring for an Uchiha!

When instinct takes over without genuine thought, it's a sign of a change in nature.

"Tch! Overthinking things!"

At this moment, Tsunade seemed to realize her own unusual concern. She coldly snorted with a stern face, and after looking at the injury on Uchiha Yoru's palm, she began to change the subject.

Even she didn't realize that her attitude towards this brat in front of her seemed to be becoming more genuine!

"You brat, I don't know what you're thinking to have come up with this ninjutsu."

There were geniuses who created ninjutsu in the Shinobi World, and not a few of them. After all, weren't all the ninjutsu in the Shinobi World created?

But an A-rank ninjutsu was already considered an ultimate technique for a Jonin. For a Jonin to possess an A-rank ninjutsu was almost like having a trump card.

It's easy to imagine how significant an A-rank Ninjutsu without hand seals would be.

Uchiha Yoru was more than happy for Tsunade to change the subject instinctively. This feeling, if kept hidden, would only fester and sour.

"Captain Tsunade, the inspiration for this Ninjutsu came from Kushina."

"Kushina?"

This time, Tsunade genuinely showed curiosity and confusion. Uchiha Yoru, however, smiled and nodded.

"That's right. Three months ago, when Kushina went berserk, the terrifying attack of a Tailed Beast Ball… my Ninjutsu can't compare, of course, but the formation and launch of the Tailed Beast Ball seemed to be pure Chakra compression, and it didn't even require complicated hand seals."

"Then I started thinking, how could a shinobi release such Ninjutsu using a pure Chakra circulation method! After experimenting a few times, I came to a conclusion: rotation, compression, and stability. As long as these three key points are maintained."

"With a shinobi's stable and continuous output of Chakra, this current Ninjutsu without hand seals (A-rank) was born."

Hearing the inspiration behind Uchiha Yoru's self-created Ninjutsu, Tsunade suddenly understood.

"Imitating a Tailed Beast Ball? But it really does look similar. You mentioned pure Chakra earlier, without complicated hand seals?"

As a shinobi herself, Tsunade was naturally filled with curiosity and a desire to explore all kinds of Ninjutsu. Especially this kind of Ninjutsu created by borrowing from a Jinchuriki's Tailed Beast Ball.

Due to her background, few people in the entire Shinobi World could match Tsunade's depth of knowledge in Ninjutsu. Therefore, it was rare for something to pique her interest.

It was only when Uchiha Yoru mentioned that his inspiration came from the Tailed Beast Ball this time that she became interested.

"Yes, it's pure Chakra form, without Chakra nature transformation, and no complicated hand seals."

Upon discussing his Ninjutsu and seemingly receiving approval, Uchiha Yoru, filled with joy, raised his hand. Under Tsunade's astonished gaze, a spherical, azure Chakra appeared before them.

"N-Ninjutsu without hand seals!"

Tsunade was utterly shocked. She knew this brat had been developing a Ninjutsu recently. As the pride of the Senju Clan, she naturally wouldn't peek in secret.

So she only knew a little, and her curiosity was mostly because it was related to Tailed Beasts. But at this moment, seeing Uchiha Yoru release it with a raise of his hand.

And without any hand seals, Tsunade was truly stunned.

What did an A-rank Ninjutsu without hand seals even mean?

Especially with her experience, she could clearly discern the instantaneous power of this Ninjutsu.

If caught off guard and attacked at close range, this instantaneous Ninjutsu would be enough for a counterattack. In fact, with this power, ordinary Ninjutsu and armor wouldn't be able to block it.

Just then, a hissing sound suddenly reached her ears, and Tsunade's expression changed. She snorted impatiently.

"Orochimaru, when did you become like Jiraiya?"

The next moment, Orochimaru's uniquely hoarse yet charmingly magnetic laughter echoed.
