Shinsei and Hinata settled down in the Konoha camp, Tsunade was unsure how to arrange things for her two newly acquired disciples.
"Teacher, could you please give me some guidance?" Shinsei took out a scroll and handed it to Tsunade.
Tsunade took it, unfolded it casually, and frowned slightly. This was a Sealing Jutsu scroll that Tsunade- sensei had given Shinsei when he left Konoha. It was a brand-new Sealing Jutsu constructed with Yin Release and Yang Release Chakra, mainly used to store Senjutsu Chakra.
Its contents are more than twice as complex as the previous seal. Shinsei left in too much of a hurry and didn't have time to ask for advice. Now that he's called Tsunade in this world, he has to take advantage of her.
"You've mastered Sage Mode?" Tsunade took the sealing scroll and quickly understood its function. Ordinary-level Chakra storage wouldn't require such a high-level Sealing Jutsu.
"Yes, that's right." Shinsei nodded; there was no need to hide this.
As a contractor of Shikkotsu Forest, one of the Three Great Sage Lands, Tsunade naturally knew the difficulty of cultivating Sage Mode.
She's at an age where she craves power, but mastering Sage Mode is incredibly difficult. The fact that this 13-year-old boy, who calls her "teacher," has successfully cultivated Sage Mode makes her feel somewhat embarrassed.
She cleared her throat and asked casually, "Did I, from the other world, successfully cultivate Sage Mode?"
"Uh, Teacher didn't succeed in her cultivation." Shinsei wasn't good at lying, so he could only tell the truth.
The me in that other world was so useless, I was actually surpassed by my disciple.
Tsunade to the operating table next to him, gesturing for Shinsei to lie down on it.
"Huh?" Shinsei was a little dumbfounded, "Do teachers in this world get addicted to performing surgeries?"
Tsunade frowned, her brows furrowing, her eyes seeming to gleam with ferocity, and her fists began to crack.
Shinsei dared not delay and immediately lay down obediently on the operating table.
Fortunately, Tsunade wasn't going to perform surgery on Shinsei. Instead, she was explaining how to construct and use each Sealing Jutsu, referring to the sealing scroll and his body.
The younger version of the teacher is quite responsible, unlike the teacher in the Hokage version, who simply doesn't have the leisure to give him such detailed explanations.
In the Hokage version, Tsunade had a misunderstanding about Shinsei, believing that because he developed Ninjutsu, he must be very intelligent. But this was actually a beautiful misunderstanding.
Shinsei was able to develop so many Ninjutsu not because he was exceptionally intelligent, but because of the superior insight brought by his time travel and the calm composure of an outsider.
In the Hokage version, Tsunade would always teach Shinsei by throwing a bunch of books at him and letting him read them on his own, or by giving Shinsei basic Sealing Jutsu and letting him learn them on his own. She never taught Shinji with the same meticulous and patient approach as this younger version of her teacher.
After spending more than an hour, Tsunade finally explained in detail what Shinsei didn't understand. Seeing his look of sudden realization, she finally regained some of her confidence as a teacher.
Shinsei was also very happy. He felt that his Sealing Jutsu had improved a lot and he had completely understood the Yin-Yang Seal that his teacher had designed for him. Next, he just needed to construct the Sealing Jutsu step by step to successfully build this complex Sealing Jutsu.
In the future, I can also activate Sage Mode instantly, just like Hashirama Senju, although the cooldown might be a bit long.
Tsunade patted the head of her cheap disciple on the operating table, signaling him to get up quickly.
Hinata to the side, stared longingly at Tsunade, looking like a well-behaved child eager to be educated.
Hmm, this disciple is much easier to deal with, but I still need to be more serious and show my teaching skills to my counterpart in another world.
For the next two days, Shinsei stayed in his tent, building his own Yin-Yang Seal, hoping to store Senjutsu Chakra as soon as possible.
However, this Sealing Jutsu is too difficult and requires too many sealing runes. In two days, they were only able to construct the runes for the head and right hand.
Once the dense Sealing Jutsu disappeared from his body, Shinsei stood up, intending to go for a walk.
"Hehehe, Shinsei- kun, it seems you're intentionally avoiding me." A young man with long flowing hair and a pale complexion walked in from outside the tent. It was none other than Orochimaru of the Cold Heart, the commander of the battlefield in the Land of Rain.
"Why does Lord Orochimaru say that?" Shinsei raised an eyebrow. He didn't really like Orochimaru and had been deliberately avoiding him these past few days.
" Shinsei- chan, you never talk about what will happen in the future. Is it because my future self did something bad?"
Orochimaru's gaze towards Shinsei seemed to carry a kind of eagerness.
The future Orochimaru did indeed part ways with Konoha and did some heinous things such as human experimentation, but that hasn't happened yet.
Shinsei was unwilling to talk about what would happen in the future and told Hinata not to either. Now was a critical time for Konoha's war against the Land of Wind, the Land of Earth, and the Land of Rain. Orochimaru was also one of the leaders of this war. Talking about things that had not yet happened would not only affect morale, but also have the appearance of sowing discord.
"No one can predict the future. Isn't my arrival a kind of change?"
"Hehehe, it seems that Shinsei- kun does indeed harbor some resentment towards my future self. How can I eliminate this resentment in Shinsei- kun's heart?" Orochimaru spread his hands, his eyes filled with sincerity.
In his own world, Orochimaru didn't do anything to Shinsei; instead, he generously gave him Cloning Technique and equipment.
Orochimaru in this world doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards Shinsei; on the contrary, his eyes show a longing for the unknown.
"I shouldn't have judged you now by your future self. I'm truly sorry for not changing my mindset. Lord Orochimaru, is there something you need from me?"
"Hehehe." Orochimaru licked his lips. "I do have many ideas that I'd like to discuss with Shinsei- kun. May I witness the energy that brought Shinsei- kun to this world?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Orochimaru," Shinsei shook his head, "It's lurking inside me, but I can't control it."
Orochimaru wasn't disappointed and continued, " Shinsei- chan, is there a way for you to mobilize this energy and build a bridge across two worlds?"
"You mean..." Shinsei's eyes lit up. This idea was indeed excellent, and he couldn't help but get excited.
If successful, the shortage of high-level forces in Konoha in their own world will be greatly alleviated. They have the complete Legendary Konoha Sannin, the renowned Konoha White Fang, and even Hiruzen Sarutobi, who is in his prime.
Shinsei's gaze toward Orochimaru also became fervent. He understood that he might never achieve his goal through his own research, and the person before him was the one with the greatest scientific research capabilities in the Hokage world.
However, we still need to bring Tsunade along. Although Tsunade is more inclined towards medical matters, with her around, at least we don't have to worry about Orochimaru messing things up for us.
Just as Shinsei was about to speak, the tent flap was lifted, and a middle-aged man walked in.
Shinsei looked at the person who had arrived, a strong sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.
