Future Agriculture Saint

Outside Nuanhe Town, Guangxia woke up in the morning, casually washed his face by the river, then headed to his family's farmland.

The fields had all been tilled. He rubbed his eyes, still finding it hard to believe. That ninja-sama yesterday had turned over more than a hundred mu of farmland in just a few hours.

How had that lord done it?

This had saved Guangxia and his family a great deal of effort. He no longer needed to spend several days doing the most exhausting work of tilling the soil.

Guangxia suddenly heard someone nearby greeting him. Looking into the distance, he discovered that the young ninja-sama from yesterday had come again.

Minato Namikaze had spent the entire morning asking around before finally finding out who Guangxia was.

Looking at the plain-faced Guangxia in the distance, Minato Namikaze approached with a smile.

Just like in the original story, Minato Namikaze's smile was as sunny as ever. When he smiled, he seemed exceptionally approachable, and Guangxia could sense the young ninja-sama's gentleness.

"Hello, Guangxia. I'm Konoha ninja Minato Namikaze. I heard that you're not much older than me, so I'd like you to be my guide for the next few days."

Guangxia was fifteen years old and was already the main laborer in his family when it came to farmwork.

"My lord, what does a guide do?"

To Guangxia, every noble, official, and ninja was a lord—someone a farmer's son like him had to treat carefully.

"I've recently become very interested in farming. Please give me some advice and tell me what should be done in the fields during this season."

At the mention of farmwork, Guangxia's eyes brightened.

What he loved most was the sense of happiness when the granary was filled in autumn. It would be even better if the nobles collected less grain as taxes.

"My lord, these days are the spring plowing season. Every field is being tilled. Once the soil has been turned over, we need to spread plant ash to kill pests."

Minato Namikaze glanced toward the Women's Bathhouse in town. Guessing that Jiraiya-sensei would not be leaving anytime soon, he said, "Then I'll stay here for the next few days and help you till the land and kill pests."

By noon, when Minato Namikaze's teammates, Akimichi Jirokuma and Haneina, arrived outside the town, they saw Minato Namikaze drenched in sweat as he tilled the fields.

"Earth Release: Overclocked Seismic Fracture—One Thousand Mu Tilled in a Day, First Style!"

Akimichi Jirokuma tossed potato chips into his mouth as he said, "Haneina, Minato had a habit of giving things weird names back at the Ninja Academy. Why does it feel like his odd habits have gotten worse after graduation?"

Haneina was the team's medical ninja. Seeing the scene before her, she was equally helpless as she said:

"I recently heard a new word from Minato: abstract. It means doing strange things. In Minato's words, he's becoming more and more abstract."

"Yeah, what kind of ninja would till someone else's fields for free?" Akimichi Jirokuma looked at the freshly tilled farmland and could not help saying, "Still, the fields Minato tills with ninjutsu are really good. It's fast, and even the deep soil gets turned up."

Minato Namikaze did not think he was being abstract at all. He turned to look at Guangxia, who had been watching him with worshipful eyes, and felt immensely accomplished.

Host chakra amount: 42 units.

As the Host brought change, Guangxia became even more determined to learn ninjutsu and reform farming techniques.

Reward: 3 units of chakra. The Host's chakra amount is now 45 units.

Minato Namikaze asked, "Guangxia, do you want to learn ninjutsu? Ninjutsu like this, capable of tilling one thousand mu of land in a single day?"

"Yes! Very much!"

Having received his answer, Minato patiently explained:

"Chakra is produced by evenly mixing spiritual energy and physical energy. I believe you have talent for chakra. Follow me these next few days and learn how to refine chakra. If you can refine chakra within three days, I'll teach you my strongest original ninjutsu!"

"My lord!" Guangxia said excitedly. "Is it the Earth Release: Overclocked Seismic Fracture—One Thousand Mu Tilled in a Day, First Style that you've been using?"

"Worthy of being the one I chose! You're the first person to remember my ninjutsu's name so clearly! You really do have talent!"

In the distance, Akimichi Jirokuma and Haneina watched Minato Namikaze excitedly pumping his fist at the farmer's son across the fields, and both sighed.

Over the past few days, Akimichi Jirokuma and Haneina had sighed far too many times.

First, they discovered that Jiraiya, one of the Three Ninja and a Konoha hero of the Second Ninja World War, was truly lecherous by nature, visiting the Women's Bathhouse every day to peep with his superb ninjutsu.

Then they discovered that Minato Namikaze, the genius everyone in the village praised, was not only a bizarre naming prodigy, but was also passionate about all sorts of inexplicable things.

Tilling fields for others and passionately lecturing a farmer's son—no matter how they looked at it, it was abnormal.

Haneina said, "Jirokuma, do you think we're just too normal? Is that why our ninjutsu is terrible and our strength so weak?"

Akimichi Jirokuma thought of the powerful seniors in the Ino-Shika-Cho clans and said, "Haneina, don't doubt yourself. It's definitely not our problem. It's Jiraiya-sensei and Minato Namikaze's problem."

Five nights later, Nuanhe Town suddenly became lively.

"Catch the pervert! Someone's peeping behind the Women's Bathhouse!"

The back wall of the Women's Bathhouse was smashed open with a single punch.

Jiraiya, behind the hole in the wall, was delighted rather than alarmed. "Tsunade! You really understand me!"

As long as he lingered outside the Women's Bathhouse long enough, he might run into the traveling Tsunade.

The back wall had been shattered, and the naked women throughout the bathhouse screamed one after another.

The women in the bath sank beneath the water, but the women outside the pool were in trouble.

Some were smarter and quickly jumped into the water. Their naked bodies soaring through the air made Jiraiya's blood race.

Then there were the stupider women, who hurriedly searched for towels to wrap themselves in. Yet in their panic, they failed to cover themselves properly, creating a different kind of allure that made Jiraiya swallow hard.

Tsunade's face was filled with fury. "Jiraiya! You actually lay in wait here early on! You used this method to peep on me!"

"No! Don't slander me! I've been peeping here for more than ten days. You just happened to come by!"

Inside the inn beside the bathhouse, Minato Namikaze heard Jiraiya's explanation and felt that Jiraiya's emotional intelligence was far too low.

How could a Jiraiya like that possibly catch Tsunade? He would never catch her in his lifetime!

He might as well admit that he had come specifically to peep on Tsunade.

Another explosive boom sounded nearby. Jiraiya was sent flying by a punch, soaring straight over the inn.

Jiraiya's voice rang out from the air.

"My disciples! Run! Tsunade has gone mad!"

The inn's outer wall was also smashed open with a punch, and Minato Namikaze saw Tsunade wrapped in a bath towel.

Her chest was too high, making the towel seem too short, while her smooth legs were exposed.

One could question Jiraiya's character when it came to men and women, but one could never question the taste he had developed from peeping on countless women.

Unfortunately, Minato Namikaze had no time to admire her. Tsunade had also spotted Jiraiya's disciples and was charging over in fury.

Jiraiya crashed into the mountain behind him and inwardly cursed. His disciples were about to be caught by Tsunade, and then he would not be able to escape either.

At that moment, Minato Namikaze heard the system's voice again.

Host chakra amount: 45 units.

As the Host brought change, Guangxia mastered the Earth Release tilling ninjutsu and began his path to becoming the Agriculture Saint of the ninja world.

Reward: 50 units of chakra. The Host's chakra amount is now 95 units.

At that very moment, in a courtyard outside town, Guangxia used ninjutsu for the first time.

Average Elite Chunin chakra amount: 100 units.

Minato Namikaze's chakra amount suddenly nearly doubled.

The next second, he grabbed Akimichi Jirokuma and Haneina by their collars, poured all his chakra into his legs, and leaped away with the two of them at tremendous speed.

Tsunade, who had held back because they were genin, stared in surprise at what had just happened.

From afar, she exchanged a glance with Jiraiya. Jiraiya was equally astonished.

With the little fatty Akimichi Jirokuma and Haneina in tow, their combined weight was nothing to scoff at.

Yet Minato Namikaze, an eleven-year-old child who had graduated from the Ninja Academy only three months ago, had burst forth with such speed.

Even ANBU Elite Chunin were no better than this.

Though Tsunade had held back, an ordinary Chunin could never have escaped that punch while carrying two people.

Watching Minato Namikaze jump toward him while holding the other two, Jiraiya became even more certain that Minato was the Child of Prophecy spoken of by the Great Toad Sage!

Dangling in the air, Akimichi Jirokuma's worldview collapsed. Could it really be that he was too normal, which was why his strength could not improve by leaps and bounds like Minato's?

Jiraiya and the others escaped danger and fled at top speed.

The farmers who had heard the commotion ahead and come to block their path looked at the blond-haired Minato and exchanged glances.

Hadn't this young ninja been helping them till their fields and kill pests? Why was he being called a pervert?

Seeing the farmers make way, Jiraiya turned and gave Minato a thumbs-up. "Minato! As expected of my disciple! You thought everything through so thoroughly for my peeping!"

Minato was falsely accused by Jiraiya out of nowhere. He turned to Jirokuma and Haneina and said:

"You have to believe me. I'm absolutely not the kind of person Jiraiya-sensei is!"
