Yahiko and the other two little ones looked crestfallen at Qingyun's words. They had seen with their own eyes just how powerful he was.
Unfortunately, Qingyun was unwilling to teach them, leaving them deeply disappointed.
Jiraiya gave an awkward chuckle when he heard Qingyun's answer. "Hehe, come on, Qingyun! Just teach them that foundation-building Cultivation Technique of yours."
Grinning, Jiraiya blocked the increasingly impatient Qingyun's path.
Qingyun looked helpless. So far, he had only taught his Cultivation Technique to Minato Namikaze and Kushina. Some low-level Martial Arts would have been one thing, but he had always guarded his Cultivation Technique closely. How could he possibly teach it to his future enemies?

If it had only been Yahiko and Konan, teaching them would have been fine.
But who was Nagato? He carried Madara Uchiha's Rinnegan. Teaching Yahiko and Konan his Cultivation Technique would be the same as teaching Nagato, and once Nagato learned it, Madara Uchiha's mental power dwelling within the Rinnegan would learn it too.
Qingyun did not dare teach them even a low-level Cultivation Technique. With Madara Uchiha's talent and experience, he might create powerful Cultivation Techniques based on Qingyun's Internal Arts, making him even stronger.
