Rin Nohara's sense of transgression
Hokage: The Uchiha Remnants of the Senju Clan! Chapter 220
Orochimaru then thought of Qingyu.
Qingyu's talent was unlike anything he had ever seen in his life.
Moreover, Qingyu possesses something similar to him.
That was an extraordinary thirst for knowledge and a desire for control.
Qingyu was just more restrained than him, and knew better how to hide herself from the public eye.
How wonderful it would be to walk with someone like that!
"What a pity."
Orochimaru chuckled.
That guy Qingyu has Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen, Minato Namikaze, and the entire Hidden Konoha as his bonds.
It's unrealistic to expect him to leave now.
However, there's plenty of time in the future.
Orochimaru never lacks patience.
He stood up, walked to the tent flap, lifted the curtain, and looked at the flickering campfires on the distant battle line.
The war provided him with an endless supply of experimental materials and the best stage for him to accumulate merits.
"Before that, let's kill a few more people for Konoha."
Konoha.
Third Training Ground.
Rin Nohara sat cross-legged on a rock, her hands Hand Seals.
She has been practicing here all morning.
Chakra continued to gather on his forehead, and the pale purple diamond-shaped mark appeared and disappeared.
However, the practice these past few days has not gone smoothly.
"It's over again----"
Rin Nohara opened her eyes and sighed softly.
She could feel that her "Yin Seal" was already taking shape, and her forehead would feel slightly warm when her Chakra gathered.
However, once she tried to inject a large amount of Chakra into it, the Chakra would scatter like a startled stream, unable to condense into a true sealing mark.
According to Qingyu's previous explanation, the core of the "Yin Seal" lies in storing Chakra stably for a long time.
This requires an extremely high level of Chakra control.
Rin Nohara has a good foundation in Medical Ninjutsu, but her Chakra reserves are ultimately limited.
Her current Chakra control precision is insufficient to support her in completing a stable "Yin Seal".
Qingyu stood under a tree not far away, practicing the "Flying Thunder God Technique".
His figure kept disappearing and reappearing in the woods, each time appearing in a place farther away than the last.
"Rin, your Chakra is spreading from your forehead throughout your body."
Qingyu suddenly stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Rin Nohara.
You're too nervous.
Rin Nohara paused for a moment, then lowered her head.
"Has Qingyu- kun been paying attention to me all along?----"
She muttered something under her breath, then quickly shook her head.
"No, I just—find it a little difficult."
"Compared to before, your Chakra manipulation speed has become much faster, which is a good thing."
Qingyu walked up to her, squatted down, and looked directly into her eyes.
"But you're too impatient right now. Your Chakra is running wild along with your emotions, and the speed at which it's being injected is beyond your control."
Upon hearing this, Rin Nohara gently bit her lower lip.
"Don't be too impatient. I'll be watching from the side. I'll remind you if there are any problems."
"Um."
Rin Nohara took a deep breath and then Hand Seals again.
She closed her eyes, trying hard not to think that Qingyu was watching her from the side.
But the more she did this, the faster her heart beat, and the tips of her ears slowly began to burn.
She tried to extract the Chakra within her body little by little and guide it towards her forehead.
It went smoothly at first, but once the amount of Chakra increased, it started to get out of control again.
This time it came even faster.
Rin Nohara's body suddenly swayed, and she fell to the side.
"Lin!"
Qingyu Body Flicker Technique in front of Rin Nohara and put his arm around her waist.
Rin Nohara felt a sudden lightness in her body as she fell into a warm embrace.
Her face was buried right in Qingyu's chest.
A masculine aura wafts over you.
Are you alright?
Qingyu lowered her head.
"I—I'm fine!"
Rin Nohara quickly shook her head, trying to stand up.
But her legs were still a little weak, and when she placed her hand on Qingyu's chest, she could clearly feel his firm muscle lines.
The girl's face instantly turned bright red.
She took a half-step back in a panic, but Qingyu supported her waist.
"Don't rush."
Qingyu helped her regain her footing.
"Once you have a lot of Chakra, the Yin Seal will indeed be more difficult to control, but once you get past that step, everything else will be smooth sailing. You just need to replenish your Chakra step by step."
Qingyu said.
Because the Chakra stored in the "Yin Seal" exceeds the Chakra that Rin Nohara usually possesses, she finds it difficult to control.
"So you need to be more precise in your control."
"So that's how it is----"
Rin Nohara nodded, seemingly understanding but not quite.
"Qingyu- kun, am I really that troublesome? I've been studying for so long, and I'm still like this."
How could that be?
Qingyu shook her head.
"Rin, your Chakra control is already quite good."
"However, this technique is extremely difficult for most ninjas. The fact that you've progressed to this level already shows your talent."
Rin Nohara lowered her head somewhat shyly, her ears still a little red.
"Then—I'll keep working hard."
"I'll be watching from the sidelines, take your time."
Qingyu spoke, she took a few steps back and leaned against the tree trunk.
Rin Nohara nodded and Hand Seals again.
This time, she finally calmed down.
It was probably because of Qingyu's words, "I will always be watching from the sidelines," that she didn't want to let Qingyu down.
Chakra was slowly injected, and the light purple mark on his forehead gradually became clearer.
That's it.
Qingyu's voice came from the side.
"Don't speed up, keep it up."
Rin Nohara nodded.
Time passed little by little.
Rin Nohara's "Yin Seal" has become more refined than it was in the morning. Although it is still far from being fully formed, at least the entire guidance process is no longer as frequently out of control as before.
"Qingyu."
When Rin Nohara was resting, she jumped off the rock.
She walked up to Qingyu, her tone hesitant. "Don't you think this is a waste of time? You should be practicing your own techniques, but you're spending time with me here."
Upon hearing this, Qingyu shook her head and looked into her eyes.
Why would you think that?
"Because— Qingyu- kun is already such an amazing person, while I—"
Rin Nohara's voice grew softer and softer.
"Lin."
Qingyu interrupted her.
If you feel weak, strive to become stronger, instead of worrying about whether I'm wasting my time.
"Spiritual practice is not a solitary endeavor; having someone accompany you can sometimes be more effective."
"Besides, didn't I already say that I'm also practicing cultivation?"
Qingyu raised her finger and pointed to a Kunai in the distance engraved with the Flying Thunder God Formula.
"I've already used you as a coordinate several times, and that's made me more proficient at the Flying Thunder God's short-distance movement."
Rin Nohara couldn't help but laugh.
"Using me as a benchmark, and saying it so self-righteously."
"After all, Rin is much more pleasing to the eye than the Flying Thunder God Kunai."
Qingyu said casually.
Upon hearing this, Rin Nohara felt her heart race.
But then Rin Nohara thought of Qingyu, who was very close to Yūhi Kurenai.
All of this gave Rin Nohara a vague, illicit thrill.
No, Qingyu isn't with Hong, is she?
Rin Nohara shook her head repeatedly.
It's just that her good friend is very close to Qingyu!
That's right, that's exactly it!
Rin Nohara found a reason for herself in her heart.
"It's already afternoon----"
Qingyu glanced at the sky.
"Hmm, it's almost evening."
Rin Nohara.
"Practice a little longer, then I'll take you back."
"Good."
Rin Nohara responded softly, secretly glancing at Qingyu, thinking, "If only things could stay like this forever."
However, before the two could even leave the Training Ground, a red figure jogged over.
"Qingyu, Lin!"
Yūhi Kurenai ran up to her, panting, one hand on her knee and the other on her heaving chest.
"So you were here! I've been looking for you for ages!"
"I was just planning to continue my cultivation for a while before heading back."
Qingyu said.
"Hong, have you finished your cultivation?"
Rin Nohara also asked with a smile.
"Not yet, I'll go back after a little more cultivation."
Yūhi Kurenai.
Rin Nohara stood to the side, watching the two talk, a faint look of envy flashing in her eyes.
But the smile quickly masked her true feelings.
"By the way, Lin, how's your 'Yin Seal' coming along?"
Yūhi Kurenai suddenly turned her head and asked.
"It's a bit better today than before, although it's still not very stable."
Rin Nohara smiled gently.
"That's perfect! Let's practice together tomorrow. I also need to continue practicing Genjutsu!"
Yūhi Kurenai clenched her fist.
"Good."
Rin Nohara nodded.
"Hong, what about you? How far have you gotten with your 'Magic Mist'?"
Qingyu asked.
"Hmph, I'll show you next time, you won't get away so easily!"
Yūhi Kurenai raised her chin.
"Then I'll wait."
Qingyu smiled slightly.
He found the girl's competitive nature quite endearing.
So the three of them continued their cultivation together.
Another hour passed.
"Let's go, it's getting dark. I'll take you home first."
Qingyu said.
"Qingyu."
Yūhi Kurenai suddenly spoke.
"If you become Hokage in the future, will you still train with us?"
Yūhi Kurenai asked on a whim.
What are you thinking about?
Qingyu found it amusing.
"Sister Tsunade has a higher chance of Hokage than I do, right?"
"Just kidding."
Yūhi Kurenai.
"If I become Hokage, I will definitely continue to stay with you all."
Qingyu said.
"We won't be that busy by then."
After all, the Hokage of Konoha, in some ways, is no different from a corporate slave dealing with political affairs.
However, these things were not a burden for Qingyu.
He'll just find the right person to do it.
For example, Shikaku Nara, Nara Shikaku, etc.
Unlike Naruto, he doesn't deal with miscellaneous tasks Tenten. Even when helping an old lady cross the street or a small business owner cut the ribbon for a new shop, he uses Shadow Clone to help.
"That's good."
Yūhi Kurenai laughed, her tone becoming much lighter.
A few days later.
A large number of ninjas had gathered at the Konoha Gate.
"Lady Tsunade, Lord Qingyu."
A Konoha Jonin strode forward.
"Lady Tsunade, Lord Qingyu."
A Konoha Jonin strode forward.
"Everything is ready, and we can depart at any time."
Let's go.
Tsunade waved her hand and said.
Beneath an unmarked rock face.
Madara sat in front of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, with half of White Zetsu's body emerging from the side.
"Lord Madara, Young Master Qingyu has gone to the battlefield again."
"Um."
Madara rested his chin on one hand, and slowly opened his Sharingan.
"This time is different from before."
White Zetsu continued, "The Kirigakure and the Iwagakure Village have formed an alliance. According to reports, the Jinchuriki will also participate in the war, and Orochimaru and Shimura Danzō their own moves."
"I see."
Madara Uchiha's voice was flat.
He pays close attention to Qingyu Tenten, so how could he not know this?
"I wonder if Qingyu will awaken Wood Release."
Madara Uchiha said.
Wood Release?
White Zetsu puzzled.
"He is different from me. Qingyu has the bloodline of the Senju. That child is the one in the Shinobi World who is closest to Hashirama right now."
"I see."
White Zetsu not quite.
He felt that studying human feces was more interesting.
"Keep an eye on him. If he really awakens Wood Release on the battlefield, tell me immediately."
"Yes."
White Zetsu responded, and his body slowly merged back into the rock wall.
Madara Uchiha then glanced at Obito.
Obito's Rehabilitation Training has now become part of a ninja's daily practice.
No longer do we need to hold onto the wall to walk.
Madara Uchiha's lips curled into a smile.
Great, you'll be able to go on stage soon.
After returning to the East Coast Camp, Qingyu barely had time to catch her breath.
The sea breeze blew in from outside the Camp Tent, carrying a damp, salty smell.
"After Kirigakure and Iwagakure formed an alliance, the patrol density on the eastern front has increased significantly."
The Nara Shikaku in front of the unfolded map, pointing to several red circles near the coastline.
"There have been signs of suspicious Chakra activity in these areas recently, but the other side is very vigilant. Our reconnaissance teams have gone there several times but have come up empty-handed."
He raised his head and his gaze fell on Qingyu.
"Qingyu, take Kakashi and Hyuga Ginka to this area and find out what their fighting style is like."
"Clear."
Qingyu nodded.
Kakashi was already standing at the entrance of the Camp Tent, his Forehead Protector covering his left eye.
Hyuga Ginka had also changed into her light combat attire, her white eyes looking at Qingyu and nodding slightly.
Let's go.
Qingyu didn't linger and turned to leave the Camp Tent.
The air is colder by the sea than inland.
The December sea breeze, carrying fine moisture, felt like needles pricking my face.
All three were very fast.
Qingyu was at the very front, with Kakashi and Hyuga Ginka on either side, forming a triangular formation that moved at high speed.
The sandy ground beneath our feet gradually turned into a rocky beach overgrown with weeds, and then into a rocky ledge eroded by the sea.
"Qingyu, there's nothing unusual here."
Hyuga Ginka said.
Her Byakugan were now fully open, and everything within a radius of several kilometers was within her field of vision.
I didn't see anyone suspicious either.
Kakashi's voice came from under his mask, deep and calm.
"Continue the investigation."
Qingyu said, "Continue to maintain the Sensory Barrier."
His perception range extends further than Hyuga Ginka's Byakugan, and he can also use it in conjunction with "Malice Perception" to detect deliberately concealed hostility.
The three of them advanced a little further.
Sea fog rose from the sea surface at some unknown time.
The grayish-white mist flowed slowly along the ground like a living thing, blurring the coastline into a hazy outline.
Visibility is decreasing rapidly.
"Watch out, there's something in the fog."
Qingyu suddenly spoke.
Upon hearing this, Kakashi's right hand was already on the hilt of his sword.
Hyuga Ginka's Byakugan swept over as well, and the veins beside her temples bulged slightly.
"No Chakra response—no, wait!"
Hyuga Ginka's tone changed.
"There's a fight going on!"
"Two directions?"
"It's in one direction, but the numbers are wrong; it seems like the people from Kirigakure are fighting amongst themselves!"
Hyuga Ginka frowned.
"Internal strife?"
Kakashi was somewhat puzzled.
Qingyu paused, and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
He sensed it.
That was a very familiar Chakra.
It's Mei Terumi.
Behind her, there were several Chakra belonging to the Kirigakure Ninja.
