"Third Hokage, how about we make a deal?" Liu Feng asked with a smile, looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"What kind of deal?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed deeply at Liu Feng. When Liu Feng had laid everything out earlier, he had thought he might not be able to obtain those two ninjutsu.
But upon hearing Liu Feng mention a deal, hope immediately rose in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart. Since it was a trade, Uchiha Liu Feng would surely use those two ninjutsu as bargaining chips.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had examined the two ninjutsu. They were definitely both A-rank ninjutsu, and A-rank ninjutsu were already very powerful. Some Jonin did not even have the means to obtain A-rank ninjutsu.
"If Third Hokage wants to take these two ninjutsu, you can't possibly let me suffer a loss. Naturally, this has to be a fair trade."
Liu Feng smiled like a little fox.
"Of course. I certainly won't let you lose out."
The Third Hokage's smile was exceptionally kind. As for what he was thinking inside, Liu Feng had no way of knowing. Still, the Third Hokage would definitely not give up on this deal.
Since both sides wanted a trade, it was time for negotiations.
"Liu Feng, aren't you being a little too greedy? You want to exchange two A-rank ninjutsu for two A-rank ninjutsu and one S-rank ninjutsu."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was blank.
Liu Feng had just proposed exchanging the Rasengan and Chidori for the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Genjutsu: Dark Movement Technique, and the S-rank Flying Thunder God Technique.
That was right. Among Liu Feng's demands was the Flying Thunder God Technique, which he had already exchanged for.
Liu Feng had already learned the Flying Thunder God Technique. The reason he was asking Hiruzen Sarutobi for it was mainly because he did not want to cause trouble when using the Flying Thunder God Technique in the future.
If Liu Feng casually used the Flying Thunder God Technique, how would he explain where he had obtained it? Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi did not make trouble for him then, Danzo would seize the opportunity to do so.
Liu Feng actually also wanted to obtain the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, but unfortunately, Hiruzen Sarutobi would definitely not hand over that technique.
"How about this? I'll add another S-rank ninjutsu. Chidori's advanced version, Chidori."
After thinking it over, Liu Feng added another bargaining chip. It did not matter if he handed over Chidori anyway; not just anyone could learn that ninjutsu.
Even if someone learned it, it would not pose much of a threat to him. If Hiruzen Sarutobi used Chidori, whether he could even break through Susanoo's defense was uncertain.
"Fine. Then I agree."
Upon hearing Liu Feng add another S-rank ninjutsu as a bargaining chip, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately agreed.
In truth, Hiruzen Sarutobi was fairly unconcerned about the three techniques Liu Feng wanted. In his view, only the Genjutsu: Dark Movement Technique would be useful to Liu Feng.
The Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was an advanced form of the Shadow Clone Technique, an A-rank forbidden technique.
Forbidden techniques were techniques that posed danger to their users. For example, the incomplete Wind Style: Rasenshuriken was considered a forbidden technique.
Without enormous Chakra reserves, one could not use the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique. Thus, Hiruzen Sarutobi believed Liu Feng had chosen something practically useless.
But how could Hiruzen Sarutobi know Liu Feng's circumstances? With the Uzumaki Sage Body, Liu Feng's Chakra was terrifyingly abundant. On top of that, he also possessed Nine-Tails Chakra.
As for the Flying Thunder God Technique, ever since the Second Hokage's death, not a single person had been able to learn it.
To learn the Flying Thunder God Technique, one needed talent in spatial techniques. Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi did not believe Liu Feng could learn it.
That was why Hiruzen Sarutobi was ultimately able to make up his mind and trade those three techniques to Liu Feng.
Afterward, Liu Feng recorded the training methods and hand seals for the three ninjutsu on a Ninjutsu Scroll before handing it to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Likewise, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Genjutsu: Dark Movement Technique, and Flying Thunder God Technique to Liu Feng.
"Third Hokage, I won't disturb your work any longer."
Liu Feng left the Hokage's office in high spirits. He had obtained everything he wanted.
Liu Feng did not feel any heartache over trading away the Rasengan, Chidori, and Chidori. Minato Namikaze would create the Rasengan in the future anyway, while Kakashi would also develop Chidori and Chidori.
In Liu Feng's eyes, only ninjutsu that could be considered super S-rank were worth caring about.
After leaving the Hokage Building, Liu Feng was about to return to training when a soft, pale hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.
"Uchiha Liu Feng, are you interested in getting acquainted?"
"Lady Tsunade taking the initiative to strike up a conversation with an Uchiha Clan Member like me is truly surprising." Liu Feng turned around with a handsome smile on his face.
"Hmph, what do you mean by that? Although the Senju Clan and the Uchiha have had a long-standing grudge, I don't hold any prejudice against the Uchiha."
Tsunade snorted coldly, displeasure written across her face.
Perhaps because she had inherited the First Hokage Senju Hashirama's will, Tsunade truly did not hold much prejudice against the Uchiha. In her eyes, they were all ninjas of Konoha.
To be fair, Senju Hashirama had treated the Uchiha clan quite well. Otherwise, when Uchiha Madara left Konoha, no clan members would have refused to follow him.
Even later, when Uchiha Madara led the Nine-Tails in an attack on Konoha and started the battle at the Valley of the End, Senju Hashirama had not shown any prejudice against the Uchiha clan.
"My apologies." Liu Feng looked apologetic, though there had been no malice in his words. He had simply been more surprised than anything else.
"You're different from other Uchiha Clan Members. No wonder Nawaki considers you a friend."
Tsunade looked at Liu Feng in surprise. It was her first time seeing an Uchiha Clan Member apologize.
"Although I bear no ill will toward Uchiha Clan Members, your clan's personalities really aren't very well liked. But you're a little different."
Liu Feng smiled without taking Tsunade's words to heart. He knew his own clan's issues. Uchiha Clan Members were simply too proud.
"Lady Tsunade is also different from how I imagined."
"What's different? What did you imagine me to be like?" Tsunade asked Liu Feng curiously.
Liu Feng's gaze swept over Tsunade. The current Tsunade was surprisingly flat-chested, completely unlike the Tsunade in his memories.
Of course, he would not be foolish enough to say that aloud. He merely smiled mysteriously.
"You little brat, acting all mysterious." Tsunade was somewhat displeased.
"Oh, right. I need to thank you."
"Thank me for what?" Liu Feng looked at Tsunade in surprise. Tsunade actually said she wanted to thank him.
"For saving the Uzumaki clan."
The Senju Clan and the Uzumaki clan were distant relatives, and her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, had also been an Uzumaki Clan Member. In Tsunade's view, she truly needed to thank Liu Feng.
"Then I'll accept your thanks. But mere verbal thanks seem rather insincere." Liu Feng smiled at Tsunade.
"You really know how to push your luck."
Tsunade was not dissatisfied. She asked Liu Feng instead,
"Tell me what you want. You only get this one chance, so make good use of it. Otherwise, I might drink once and forget all about this."
"I want to learn the Strength Enhancement Technique. Of course, I won't let you lose out. I can teach you the hand-signless ninjutsu, Rasengan."
Liu Feng stated his condition. He had been quite envious of the Strength Enhancement Technique. With it, Liu Feng's taijutsu shortcomings would also be made up for.
"I agree, but forget about the Rasengan. Consider the Strength Enhancement Technique my thanks to you." Tsunade was quite straightforward and did not refuse.
"Alright, then thank you, Lady Tsunade."
Liu Feng wore a warm smile. Running into Tsunade this time had truly been an unexpected delight.
Then Liu Feng followed Tsunade to the training grounds. Her free time was limited, so she intended to teach Liu Feng the Strength Enhancement Technique immediately.
"This Strength Enhancement Technique isn't that difficult."
Liu Feng punched a massive boulder, and it shattered into pieces.
His fist was slightly red. In truth, Liu Feng had not fully mastered it yet; at the very least, his protective measures for himself were not sufficient.
If Tsunade used the Monster Strength Fist, she definitely would not injure herself.
Chakra Enhanced Strength involved precisely controlling Chakra, concentrating it in any part of the body, and then unleashing terrifying force in an instant. A single punch or kick could shatter a wall.
Tsunade stared at Liu Feng expressionlessly, her silver teeth clenched as she felt this little brat was somewhat irritating.
What did he mean, the Strength Enhancement Technique wasn't difficult? When she had trained in it, it had taken her half a month just to get started.
She had to admit that his talent was truly exceptional. Envy was useless.
"You've already grasped the essence of the Strength Enhancement Technique. Now you only need to slowly become proficient in it. I have nothing else to teach you."
Tsunade forcibly suppressed her displeasure and spoke to Liu Feng.
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade."
Liu Feng thanked her rather solemnly. The Strength Enhancement Technique was not something taught casually to outsiders. Liu Feng was grateful that Tsunade had taught him.
As for Tsunade thanking him, Liu Feng himself knew why he had saved the Uzumaki clan.
If it had not been for the system mission, Liu Feng would never have saved the Uzumaki clan. To put it bluntly, saving them had also been for his own benefit.
"This is the training method for the Rasengan."
Liu Feng took out the Rasengan's training method and handed it to Tsunade. He did not like owing favors, so he would consider the Rasengan repayment.
"I already said it was to thank you. What do you mean by this, you little brat?" Tsunade questioned him rather harshly.
"Lady Tsunade, I don't really like owing favors. Favors are difficult to repay, so if you don't accept it, I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep peacefully."
Liu Feng forcibly stuffed the Rasengan scroll into Tsunade's hands. At the same time, he was puzzled. Why did it feel like Tsunade was being a little harsh toward him now? It was as if she had some issue with him.
She had clearly been quite pleasant when facing him earlier, so why had she suddenly become so fierce?
Naturally, Liu Feng did not know that Tsunade felt unbalanced because he had learned too quickly, much like someone resenting the rich.
"Then I'll accept it. To be honest, I'm quite interested in this hand-signless ninjutsu."
