Tsunade ultimately stopped refusing. It was impossible for her to have no interest at all in hand-sign-less ninjutsu.

"Don't call me Lady Tsunade anymore. Call me Sister Tsunade from now on."

Tsunade patted Liu Feng on the shoulder, making him grimace in pain. He wondered if this girl was doing it on purpose—she really hit hard.

Afterward, Liu Feng invited Tsunade to dinner. He had thought she would refuse, but she agreed without hesitation. He had only been making a polite offer.

"Liu Feng, can you lend me some money?"

Tsunade's eyes shifted as she asked Liu Feng.

"What do you need money for?"

The moment he heard that Tsunade wanted to borrow money, Liu Feng became alert. Lending money to Tsunade would probably be like feeding meat buns to a dog—there would be no getting it back.

In truth, Liu Feng had already guessed what Tsunade wanted the money for. She was probably going to the casino. Although this big fat sheep always lost, she never became discouraged.

Though Tsunade was still young, she had been going to casinos since childhood. If she was borrowing money, it was definitely to gamble.

"I have a profitable venture. I can pay you back tomorrow, principal and interest included," Tsunade told Liu Feng.

"Heh, stop trying to fool me. You're a famous fat sheep around here. I won't..."

Just as Liu Feng was about to refuse, his eyes suddenly lit up. No, wait. Perhaps he could use Tsunade to make some money. Lending her a little money would not hurt.

"Fine. I'll reluctantly lend you some."

Liu Feng was quite generous, lending Tsunade 100,000 Ryo. Of course, he would definitely earn it back from her.

Once they entered the casino, he could simply bet against Tsunade. There was no way he could lose. It looked like he was about to make a fortune.

After dinner, Liu Feng took Tsunade to the casino. It was not until nightfall that Liu Feng finally walked out.

"Sister Tsunade, thank you. This is your wage."

Liu Feng handed one million Ryo to Tsunade, then left with the 30,000,000 Ryo he had earned.

"Damn it. I obviously got money, so why do I feel so upset?"

Tsunade held the money Liu Feng had given her, feeling thoroughly annoyed. In the casino, Uchiha Liu Feng had practically gone against her at every turn. Anyone who did not know better would have thought they had some deep grudge against each other.

Yet every time, she lost while Liu Feng made a huge profit.

"Could there be some secret to it? No, I have to ask Liu Feng to teach me someday."

How could Tsunade know that Liu Feng's secret to winning was her?

Tsunade's reputation as a big fat sheep was not yet widely known. Once she fully established her name as Konoha's fat sheep in the future, following her around probably would not make any money anymore.

"Although I didn't make much, it feels pretty good."

Liu Feng felt quite pleased as he held the money. However, the moment he returned home, he entered the System Space to train.

The System Space provided three times the training time. The first thing Liu Feng trained was the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique.

Since he had already mastered the Shadow Clone Technique, the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique was not difficult for him. He created more than a hundred shadow clones at once.

"You all help me train ninjutsu."

Liu Feng spoke to the shadow clones. The reason he wanted this forbidden technique, which was somewhat useless to others, was because it was incredibly helpful for training ninjutsu.

The unfinished Wind Style: Rasenshuriken could be completed by the shadow clones. The Flying Thunder God Technique and Genjutsu: Dark Movement Technique could also be practiced by them.

The shadow clones' training experience would return to Liu Feng's original body, along with their memories, once the clones were dispelled.

However, the fatigue would also be transferred into Liu Feng's body. Therefore, he would not create too many shadow clones for training.

If he overdid it, the only one who would get hurt was himself.

"Whew, this feeling is terrifying. It looks like I need to reduce the number of shadow clones next time."

More than a hundred shadow clones had trained for two hours. Once Liu Feng dispelled them, the exhaustion was nearly unbearable. It felt as though he had gone a week without sleep. At that moment, Liu Feng decided that he would never push himself so hard again.

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed. The Strength Enhancement Technique he had learned from Tsunade was not yet perfect, but he had become highly proficient with it.

This was also thanks to Liu Feng's excellent control over Chakra. Otherwise, his progress would never have been so fast.

Besides training during those days, Liu Feng occasionally taught Mikoto ninjutsu and also studied the Uzumaki clan's Sealing Jutsu.

After he saved the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Akira gave Liu Feng the clan's Sealing Jutsu. Liu Feng now possessed nearly all of the Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques.

It was simply that Liu Feng had rarely studied them before. He already had plenty of ninjutsu to train and did not have time to study Sealing Jutsu.

Now, however, he tried to set aside time to study them. Sometimes, he even sought Kushina's advice.

Yes, he sought Kushina's advice. Although Kushina was very young, she had exceptional talent in Sealing Jutsu. Combined with Uzumaki Akira's guidance, her attainments in Sealing Jutsu already surpassed Liu Feng's.

"It's time to challenge Ōnoki's projection. I hope you don't disappoint me and drop Dust Release."

After returning from dinner at Mikoto's house, Liu Feng entered the System Space and prepared to challenge Ōnoki's projection.

The Third Tsuchikage, Ōnoki, was not easy to deal with, but Liu Feng was confident. He had even defeated the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama. Could he really fail to deal with Ōnoki?

"This battlefield isn't bad."

After entering the Trial Space, Liu Feng looked over the forest battlefield.

"Susanoo!"

"Old man, sneak attacks aren't exactly honorable."

Liu Feng's Susanoo suffered a heavy blow. The instant he entered, Ōnoki ambushed him. Fortunately, Liu Feng noticed in time and used Susanoo to block Ōnoki's Rock Fist Technique.

Earth Style: Rock Fist Technique turned the right hand into a hard stone fist. This punch was definitely not much weaker than Tsunade's Monster Strength Fist.

However, an attack of this level was not enough to break through Susanoo's defenses.

Liu Feng calmly watched the old Ōnoki before him. In reality, Ōnoki was still in his prime, but the System Space's projection was Ōnoki from the Fourth Great Ninja War.

"Slash!"

Susanoo gripped two swords and slashed at Ōnoki.

Rumble!!!

The earth trembled as Liu Feng's Susanoo split it apart. Worthy of being called a god of destruction, a casual strike had destructive power comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu.

However, Ōnoki was not so easy to handle. Susanoo's destructive power was unquestionable, but Ōnoki was incredibly agile as well.

Having used the Light-Weight Rock Technique to reduce his own weight, Ōnoki moved as swiftly as if flying. He could even evade Susanoo's enormous blades.

"This old man forms hand signs so quickly. He's no slower than me."

Liu Feng activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, allowing him to easily perceive every movement Ōnoki made. Even under Susanoo's fierce assault, Ōnoki did not fall behind.

"As expected, no one who becomes a Kage is simple."

At this point, Liu Feng also felt how difficult Ōnoki was to deal with. Ōnoki had not even used Dust Release yet. If he did, even Susanoo could be destroyed in a single blow.

"Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!"

Forced by Liu Feng, Ōnoki finally used the extremely Chakra-consuming Dust Release.

A cubic barrier separated one of Susanoo's arms into atoms. However, the Atomic Dismantling Jutsu's barrier had limited coverage and could not envelop the entire Susanoo.

To completely destroy Liu Feng's Susanoo, he would need to use Dust Release: Detachment of the Heavenly Manna. Although that technique had a wider range and was an upgraded version of Atomic Dismantling Jutsu, its Chakra consumption was terrifying and could not be used lightly.

One arm had been destroyed, but Liu Feng consumed Dojutsu Power and Chakra, and Susanoo's destroyed arm immediately regenerated.

It was useless. Unless Liu Feng was killed, even completely destroying Susanoo would have no meaning.

"I'll force you to use Detachment of the Heavenly Manna."

Liu Feng continued his fierce assault with Susanoo. Its two swords danced like the wind, already changing the surrounding terrain.

Sure enough, Ōnoki was pushed to the limit by Liu Feng and had no choice but to risk using Dust Release: Detachment of the Heavenly Manna.

Detachment of the Heavenly Manna was terrifying. It had a massive range, immense power, and a sustained effect. The entire Susanoo was enveloped within it.

"Flying Thunder God Technique."

Liu Feng used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the Dust Release barrier. When he had entered, he had already thrown out a specially made Flying Thunder God Kunai in preparation.

After moving far beyond the range of Detachment of the Heavenly Manna, Liu Feng took a deep breath and kicked a pebble at it.

The instant the pebble entered the range of Detachment of the Heavenly Manna, it was separated into atoms and vanished.

"That's truly terrifying. I have no desire to personally experience being broken down into atoms."

Kekkei Tōta was indeed terrifying. However, Liu Feng possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique. No matter how frightening a technique was, it was useless if it could not hit its enemy.

"Flying Thunder God Slash."

The specially made kunai bearing the Flying Thunder God Technique Formula flew toward Ōnoki. Ōnoki, whose Chakra and physical strength had been severely depleted, panted heavily, but he still evaded the kunai.

The kunai flew behind Ōnoki. At the same time, Liu Feng's figure instantly vanished and appeared behind him, grabbing the kunai and slashing down at Ōnoki from above.

If this strike landed, it would definitely take Ōnoki's life.

Sensing the danger, Ōnoki quickly turned around and used his Rock Fist to block Liu Feng's strike.

"It's over, Ōnoki."

A smile appeared on Liu Feng's face. The moment Ōnoki turned around, it had already ended. Liu Feng's true killing move was the Mangekyō Sharingan.

"Tsukuyomi."

The Mangekyō Sharingan's dojutsu, one of the strongest genjutsu. The instant their eyes met, the outcome was already decided.

Unless someone possessed the same Mangekyō Sharingan or had terrifyingly powerful spiritual strength, there was absolutely no escaping Tsukuyomi's Genjutsu Space.

Within the Genjutsu Space, Liu Feng let Ōnoki experience what the ten great tortures were.

The terrifying mental damage inflicted by Tsukuyomi made Ōnoki instantly lose consciousness. Faced with Liu Feng's descending kunai, he had no power to resist.

Ding, you killed Ōnoki's projection. You obtained 100,000 points, Kekkei Tōta Dust Release, Dust Release: Atomic Dismantling Jutsu!

The result was exactly as Liu Feng had hoped. It dropped the Dust Release he wanted.
