New Lending Ninjutsu

"This new technique must be Purple Lightning, right?----"

Qingye secretly pondered to herself.

Purple Lightning is a new Lightning Release Ninjutsu developed by Kakashi in the original timeline after he lost his Sharingan.

Without the Sharingan's drain, Kakashi's talent means he has no shortage of Chakra. He can easily use Ninjutsu that consumes even more chakra, or even create Earth Flow Wall that can surround a village!

Qingye glanced at the system's Ninjutsu Learning interface.

The Purple Lightning Ninjutsu is indeed included in it.

If you learn this Ninjutsu through a loan, you'll need to Chakra Loan.

"Half a month—not too long, not too short, about right for an S-rank Lightning Release."

Although the repayment period is short, Qingye has absolutely no intention of taking out a loan to learn this Ninjutsu.

Kakashi researched Purple Lightning because he didn't have the Sharingan and couldn't use Chidori.

I don't have that problem!

Instead of taking out loans to study and then suffering the pain of repaying them, why not wait for Kakashi to figure it out and then copy it with your Sharingan!

Subsequently, Qingye and Minato Namikaze offered their respective opinions and worked together to improve this new Ninjutsu.

Needless to say, Qingye's forte is Lightning Release.

Minato Namikaze also possesses the Lightning Release attribute. Although his main Lightning Release Ninjutsu, his talent in Ninjutsu allows him to offer many valuable insights.

"In terms of nature transformation, the effect of Lightning Release Chakra is high activation and penetration. Kakashi, your new technique needs to be countered by the strength of the lightning attribute," Qingye said.

"As for form transformation, what needs improvement is the ability to manipulate Chakra, but the lightning attribute is the most unstable and very difficult to control, so we need to put in more effort in this area," Minato Namikaze said.

Kakashi nodded secretly, accepting all the opinions.

After analyzing the new Ninjutsu, Minato Namikaze suddenly remembered something. "Oh right, Qingye, there's one more thing. Kirigakure has been demanding that we return the remains of the Three-Tails and the Third Mizukage— "

Returning the Three-Tails is impossible.

He couldn't possibly send his disciple to his death in Kirigakure, could he?

However, the matter of the Third Mizukage's remains is not something that cannot be discussed.

What price did Kirigakure offer?

"That's the problem—"

Minato Namikaze somewhat helpless.

Kirigakure has no intention of paying!

Qingye killed their Mizukage, Kirigakure hates him too much to even think about it!

Especially the newly appointed Fourth Mizukage, Kirigakure Karatachi Yagura, has a very tough attitude and has no intention of giving money at all!

"Heh, since that's the case, there's nothing more to say. Anyway, I'm not the one in a hurry," Qingye said indifferently.

"It's good to wear them down," Minato Namikaze nodded.

He also received some strange news from the Anbu: Kirigakure seemed to be circulating in Third Mizukage had been controlled by Mysterious Man using the Sharingan.

Minato Namikaze felt this was a bit far-fetched and needed further verification from the Anbu.

"There's one more thing. Although Kirigakure isn't planning to pay for the Third Mizukage's affairs, someone has contacted us privately, saying they hope to ransom someone back—"

Qingye's home.

"It's difficult to lend money even if you want to."

Qingye felt somewhat helpless.

Without human intervention, it's estimated that very few people's willingness to borrow will reach its maximum.

"It looks like we'll need to deliberately stir up trouble later, help everyone increase their intensity, and boost their willingness to borrow!"

Qingye pondered this, then looked at the system's Ninjutsu Learning module.

Ninjutsu learned through loans are Ninjutsu that one could theoretically learn based on their own talent.

For example, if one has even a little talent in Space-Time Ninjutsu, it is possible to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique through borrowing.

At the same time, because he does not have the Earth Release: Ultra-Light-Weight Rock Technique, he cannot borrow and learn very practical flying Ninjutsu.

There's also the Super Beast Imitating Drawing, Secret Technique that also grants the ability to fly. It falls under the category of Yang Release Secret Technique and cannot be borrowed or learned.

Therefore, after filtering, the Ninjutsu he can currently borrow to learn, besides the fire, lightning, and Yin Release attributes he already possesses, as well as space-time related Ninjutsu, Sage Mode, and some attribute-neutral Ninjutsu and Secret Technique, are now available to him.

"The Fire attribute, the Great Fire Prison ' technique is interesting, but not very important."

"Lightning Release, Lightning Chakra Mode also very useful—but a complete Lightning Chakra Mode requires sufficient physical strength, which I don't yet meet."

"Space-Time Ninjutsu, Flying Thunder God —it's easier to lend money to Minato Namikaze than to repay a year's worth of Chakra Loan."

"Sage Mode, the Sage Mode of the Three Great Sage Lands all have to repay a year's worth of Chakra Loan —waiting for Minato Namikaze to get the loan!"

"Sealing Jutsu —wait for Minato Namikaze!"

"Monster Strength, that's quite useful. Mastering it can make up for my current weakness in strength."

Qingye thought for a moment, then frowned slightly.

Monster Strength consumes a lot of Chakra!

If I borrow money to learn, my Chakra will be limited, and I probably won't be able to use my Monster Strength more than a few times.

Moreover, my current Taijutsu mainly focus on speed combined with technique. Although I do have a weakness in strength, I'm not in a hurry to make up for it.

"Hmm, let's Monster Strength as a backup option."

"Genjutsu, ordinary Genjutsu isn't worth learning. As for Izanagi and Izanami —there's no rush for that."

"Spirit Transformation Technique —where can I use this skill?"

"Camouflage Concealment Technique, Secret Technique without elemental affinity, but the Sharingan and Byakugan can Chakra flow, so I won't learn it!"

After a series of screenings, only some attribute-less Ninjutsu and Yin Release -related Secret Technique remained.

"The Secret Technique of the Yamanaka Clan and Nara Clan both fall under the category of Yin Release Ninjutsu, and can be borrowed and learned."

"The Nara Clan's shadow-related Ninjutsu —interesting, but not in a rush to learn it."

"The Yamanaka Clan ----"

Qingye hesitated for a moment.

Some of the Secret Technique of the Yamanaka Clan were indeed very valuable to him.

For example, Sensory Ninjutsu and Mind Reading Technique!

He is currently lacking a Sensory Ninjutsu.

The intelligence-gathering ability of Mind Reading Technique is also very valuable.

"----Let's keep this as a backup option for now."

After much deliberation, Qingye finally focused his attention on another attribute-less Ninjutsu:

Dustless Camouflage!

The Ninjutsu of the Second Tsuchikage of Iwagakure.

Throughout the entire history of the Shinobi World, only the Second Kage has ever wielded this power.

This Ninjutsu can be considered an advanced version of the Camouflage Concealment Technique, capable of completely eliminating Chakra aura while becoming invisible.

After using the Dustless Camouflage to become invisible, Chakra- sensing Sensory Ninjutsu cannot detect its presence; it can only be sensed through physical means.

"The Second Tsuchikage's mastery of these Ninjutsu is truly valuable: Dust Release, Invisibility, Sensory Abilities, Split Techniques, Flight—"

It's incredibly sinister!

After becoming invisible, he flies into the sky and uses Dust Release to launch a sneak attack—who could withstand that!

However, it would be difficult to acquire this Ninjutsu by lending money to others, since even Ōnoki, the disciple of the Second Tsuchikage, was unable to master it.

You can't exactly resurrect the Second Tsuchikage using Impure World Reincarnation, can you?

I wonder if it's possible to lend Chakra Loan to the dead.

"This is the one I've decided on!"

Qingye silently recited this in his heart.

Mastering this ability to become invisible will allow you to move freely in and out of any situation.

[The Ninjutsu "Dustless Camouflage" has been learned; the repayment period is four months.]

"Four months, not bad----"

The system's voice rang in his mind, and at the same time, a strange feeling welled up in Qingye's heart.

He got up and walked to the mirror. Looking at himself in the mirror, he didn't need to Hand Seals. He activated the Ninjutsu"Dustless Camouflage," and then he saw that half of his reflection in the mirror had been erased, and his figure had completely disappeared!

Qingye looked down and saw the scene behind her through her body.

He moved around the room, trying his best to make no noise.

"That's too sinister!"

This was the only feeling left in Qingye's heart.

After becoming invisible, there's no need for a long-range attack using Dust Release; if you can conceal your movements, you can quietly approach and slit your opponent's throat with a Kunai.

Not long after, that familiar feeling of restriction returned. Looking at the system panel, I saw that my "Spirit" stat had been weakened to one Chakra at Spirit 6.

"Time to start paying off the loan again----"

Outside Konoha.

Hozuki Akizuki arrived with several Kirigakure Ninja, but didn't enter Konoha at all. He had someone deliver the ransom there, and then easily met the person they wanted to redeem.

"Waaah----"

Mei Terumi saw the people from her own village, she pouted and almost burst into tears.

I can finally go home!

What kind of life did she have this past year?!

He was first imprisoned in the Land of Sea, and later, after the war ended, he was taken to Konoha and imprisoned there!

What kind of bullying did she endure here this past year! She suffered hunger and thirst in the prison cell, couldn't eat or sleep well, and had to suffer from Uchiha Aoya's bullying from time to time!

Remember to cultivate diligently when you get back.

Qingye patted Mei Terumi's messy hair, looked at his hands, and said with a hint of disdain, "I'll try to be much stronger next time I see you, so I can see your bounty at the Underground Bounty Brokerage as soon as possible."
