In a simple apprenticeship ceremony, Xiao Daocao presented Hongshi with the only thing she could offer—a simple metal necklace.
Hongshi took the necklace, opened his right palm, and saw white Chakra condense into a substance, eventually solidifying into a white bracelet. As a return gift, he put it on Xiao Daocao's wrist. "This is a bracelet I'm giving you. With it, even Kaguya can't hurt you. Of course, don't do anything bad."
Yamato, said, "Why do you always do such strange things? Who is Kaguya? And how can your Chakra condense into a stable solid? Aren't you going to explain?"
Hongshi Luo laughed heartily, " Kaguya, that's the mother of the Sage of Six Paths. As for this bracelet... it's my Chakra, and it's alive."
Yamato shook his head. "I don't believe you for a second. You're the best at making things up. What mother of the Sage of Six Paths? I've never heard of that! Alright, alright, your apprenticeship ceremony may be simple, but from now on, Xiao Daocao, you are Hongshi's apprentice."
Xiao Daocao jumped up excitedly. "Yay! I'm going to tell Dad and Grandpa!"
After saying that, he and the Gamatatsu hopped down from the roof.
After the little incident, Yamato turned to look at Hongshi: " Hongshi, Xiao Daocao is just a child. Is it alright for you to take her as your apprentice and separate her from her father?"
Hongshi Law remained extremely arrogant. "So what? Just arrange for her father to come to Konoha too. I'll leave this to you, Yamato- sensei!"
Yamato:"(°ー°)?"
"Aren't you from the Anbu? Make some arrangements, or I could teach you Senjutsu too?"
Yamato was initially reluctant, after all, he had just become Jonin, and it wouldn't be right to start with nepotism right away. But after hearing what Hongshi said, he immediately gave a thumbs up. "Leave this to me."
Hongshi Luo: "(°ー°) Okay... okay."
Yamato continued, "However, Hongshi, Xiao Daocao doesn't seem to have any talent. Are you going to let her practice Taijutsu?"
Hongshi Luo Dao: "When I treated her yesterday, I found that her body was indeed not suitable for cultivation. She was not good at Ninjutsu or Taijutsu, and I didn't know Genjutsu."
"Then why did you take her in?"
"Master Yamato, besides Ninjutsu, Genjutsu, Taijutsu, there's another kind of technique."
Yamato asked doubtfully, "You mean... Senjutsu? Isn't Senjutsu based on one's own Chakra?"
"That's right, Xiao Daocao has a trace of the Uzumaki Clan's bloodline within her, but it's too faint to activate the Adamantine Sealing Chains Technique. However, this opens the door to ninja for her. As long as I seal a certain amount of Chakra into her body as a foundation, she can simply cultivate Senjutsu."
Yamato still thought it was impossible, "You make it sound easy. Even if you seal your Chakra into her body, it will eventually be completely exhausted. Wouldn't it all be for nothing then?"
Hongshi Luo thought to himself, "How about learning about thermonuclear life forms?"
"Never mind, we'll find a way later. She's still young. If all else fails, she can practice Taijutsu."
What Hongshi didn't say was that when he was treating Xiao Daocao, he discovered that she had an extremely high affinity with Natural Energy, and the bracelet on her hand was a thermonuclear bomb life form with the same strength as Shelin, which is about the same as two Six Paths Madara.
Lord God: "(°ー°) So... Six Paths Madara has become a unit of combat power? Is it a distortion of humanity or a decline in morality? But your calculation seems a bit off. Your Chakra is equal to fourteen Shinobi World, so..."
"Shut up! Who told you to do physics problems?! I'll kill you!"
The Lord God: "Alright! Whatever you say goes!"
Therefore, Yamato also joined the group training in Senjutsu. Once he succeeds in mastering it, his Chakra will increase by one-third, and his combat power may even double.
Hongshi, wielding a black stick, patrolled around the three people whose backs were to the wooden basin containing Toad Oil, occasionally striking them with the stick.
Hongshi Luo: "What a pleasant life!"
This continued for three days, and the group finally arrived in the Land of Rice Fields. In two more days, they would reach the coastal region.
During this time, Xiao Daocao also joined the Senjutsu training team, but because she was still a child, her progress was a little slower. Hongshi secretly instilled the cultivation methods of Mount Myōboku Senjutsu into her through the Mental World. With the assistance of the thermonuclear bomb life form " Yunxiu ", she was the first to complete it, which made the three of them very envious.
Under the guidance of the Hongshi, the group used the Shadow Clone Technique to assist in their training. Hanabi Hyuga was the second, followed by Yamato, and finally Konohamaru also completed the training part of the Senjutsu: Tranquility.
Lord God: "(°ー°) Is cultivating Senjutsu really that easy...? They're so common!"
However, what they didn't know was that due to its third gigantic growth, the Earth Stone Turtle had grown to a height of ten meters, making it very conspicuous and attracting the attention of many foreign ninjas hiding in the shadows, who had been following it relentlessly.
Having finally completed their cultivation, everyone gathered in the first-floor restaurant, happily drinking meat soup.
"Oh! This soup is even better than the Hongshi makes!"
"Wow! My goodness, such amazing skills!"
"My son and I are chefs."
"No wonder..."
The two Bōshō brothers had worked diligently and without complaint during this period, and had already earned the forgiveness of Ahao's family, who were now sitting together as well.
Konohamaru chuckled, "Now I'm one step closer to Naruto- nii! I'll go back and have a good match with him!"
Yamato looked at Xiao Daocao, who seemed to have grown quite a bit in an instant. " Xiao Daocao, I didn't expect you to be so talented. It seems I'll have to report this to the Lord Hokage when we get back. By the way, what are your dreams?"
Xiao Daocao put down the bowl, which was bigger than her head, and smiled, "I want to become a ninja as strong as my master, to protect my family and comrades."
Hongshi Luo laughed heartily, "Alright, alright, you're just to my liking. Anyone who dares to bully you, I'll blow them to smithereens."
Yamato said, "Hmm, that's a good ideal, but you still need to work hard."
"I will!"
Ahao and his father saw that their granddaughter, who had been tormented by years of illness, had completely transformed, and tears of joy streamed down their faces. " Hongshi, thank you."
Hongshi Luo: "What's wrong with that? Xiao Daocao is my apprentice now, it's only right that she becomes stronger!"
After chatting for a while, Yamato's expression turned serious. "Now, we need to get down to business."
Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks.
Yamato said, "Our purpose in going to the Land of the Moon is to sound them out and see if we can get them to become an ally of the Land of Fire."
The Land of the Moon was founded by elite ninjas who grew weary of fighting during the Third Shinobi World War. It was well-managed and highly prestigious, and thus gradually developed into the wealthiest country in the Shinobi World. If its alliance with the Land of Lightning could be severed, it would be a great benefit to the Land of Fire.
Yamato continued, "This operation also involves a classified mission, which I can't reveal now. Let's divide the responsibilities. If we encounter danger, Konohamaru, with her Hanabi Hyuga Byakugan, will be the main attacker, along with Konohamaru and me, who are sensory ninjas. As for Hongshi..."
Hongshi's strength makes it difficult to assign him any position. "Me? I'm obviously the medical-nin!"
Xiao Daocao raised its hand. "I... I can fight too!"
Yamato and shook his head. "No, Xiao Daocao, you're not a ninja yet, so you can't participate in battles, but the task of protecting your father and grandfather is entrusted to you!"
Xiao Daocao was a little disappointed, but she still nodded. "I understand! I will protect Grandpa and Dad well!"
After tasting the father and son's cooking, Yamato decided to bring them along as a support team. Since Hongshi was so strong, protecting a few people was just as good as protecting them; it was foolproof.
Overseas Nuclear Ninja Village
On the training ground, Ainz iron was melting, and behind him, a flat area was cleared by himself, where hundreds of Gundams stood!
However, most of them are only about ten meters tall.
"Yeah, if this continues, in a few more months everyone in the Nuclear Ninja Village will have a Gundam! Awesome!"
The large quantity of Gelel Stone obtained in the Land of Rivers enabled the Gundam to be mass-produced, and the research department even customized it according to the user's combat habits.
Suddenly, Ainz's skull raised, receiving a message from its original form, Hongshi: "Huh? You want me to go to Shikkotsu Forest and Ryūchi Cave to get the method for cultivating Senjutsu? Oh, what a cute little girl. After finishing this batch of Gundams, let's set off immediately!"
