Land of Hot Water, Jashin Cult? (Continued)
Tsunade was not in a hurry to set off.
Instead, Shizune continued to teach Karin there.
He took Rikuto back to the wooden house, preparing to personally teach him the Strength of a Hundred Technique.
He gestured for Rikuto to first read the scrolls containing the Yin Seal and the Strength of a Hundred Technique.
"The Strength of a Hundred Technique requires accumulating a certain amount of Chakra within three years?" After reading the relevant information on the scroll, Rikuto looked at Tsunade in surprise.
"This is for people with low Chakra reserves. Even when I perfected it and officially began training, this step couldn't be omitted..."
Tsunade nodded.
But looking at Rikuto in front of him, he felt a strange sense of emotion. "But your Chakra reserves are at least five times mine, so you won't be affected at all!"
Even the Senju Clan and Uzumaki Clan, known for their massive Chakra.
At this age, perhaps only the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki throughout history can rival Chakra Rikuto; even the First Hokage of the same age cannot compare.
The ten-year-old Rikuto's Chakra reserves have more than tripled compared to two years ago.
According to Tsunade's estimate, it was at least five times her size.
Of course, this doesn't include the portion of Chakra she stored using the Yin Seal.
He's an absolutely incredible prodigy.
"That's good!"
Rikuto smiled.
He sat there cross-legged, under Tsunade's guidance.
He began cultivating the Yin Seal.
His hands were constantly forming hand seals.
He was incredibly focused and completely absorbed in it.
In his consciousness.
"Splash..."
It symbolizes the trickle of one's own Chakra.
It continuously circulates within the body's Chakra Pathway System, eee-d.
As the Rikuto Hand Seals.
Concentrate fully and focus your energy.
A pool of water, seemingly bottomless, was carved out there.
A portion of that trickle was forcibly drawn from the Chakra Pathway System and continuously flowed into that mysterious pool.
"Brush..."
Less than half an hour.
Looking at Rikuto's forehead, there was a diamond-shaped mark that appeared directly.
Tsunade's gaze narrowed, somewhat speechless.
She was dealt another blow.
In the beginning, in order to master the Yin Seal.
She spent a lot of time and effort on it.
As a result, the Rikuto mastered it so easily.
"No, Sister Tsunade, the Yin Seal can only store so little Chakra..."
Rikuto opened his eyes and said to Tsunade with a hint of helplessness, "At this rate, it won't be long before I fill it up!"
Such a Yin Seal is indeed very useful.
At least, he won't have to worry about Chakra anymore.
Although, relatively speaking, his Chakra reserves are already astonishing, completely overwhelming ordinary "Kage".
Unfortunately, his future "opponents" will all be powerful individuals who far surpass the level of the "Five Kage".
They were all Tailed Beast in human form.
Moreover, it's very likely to be the "Ten-Tails" kind.
Therefore, the Yin Seal is perfectly adequate for everyone else.
But when it comes to him, it seems slightly inadequate.
"There's nothing I can do, your Chakra reserves are just too high..." Tsunade shrugged, speechless. "But I think it's enough for you!"
"Then, you will practice the Yin Seal and the Strength of a Hundred Technique here for now!"
"If you don't understand anything, just ask me!"
After saying that.
Tsunade got up and walked outside.
I'm going to give some guidance to my disciple Karin.
She knew very well just how much potential the Rikuto had.
Such a person is destined not to devote too much energy to the medical field in the future, and will inevitably have to take the path of all-round development.
She didn't want to limit the other person's limitless future because of herself.
In particular, there is a suspected surviving Madara Uchiha, lurking in the shadows like a venomous snake, plotting some unseen scheme.
If the other party is indeed as Rikuto suspects, stirred up by the stone tablet in the Uchiha Clan Ninshu, Sage of Six Paths wants to collect all the Tailed Beast to become the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and launch the Infinite Tsukuyomi against the entire world.
Therefore, only the Rikuto can stop them.
Therefore, Karin, with her exceptional talent and Uzumaki Clan bloodline, has been regarded as the one who can truly inherit her mantle.
He was determined to groom him as his successor.
"Good!"
Rikuto smiled and nodded.
He remembered that in the original timeline, Sakura Haruno was practicing the Strength of a Hundred Technique.
Because I feel I don't have enough Chakra.
With his meticulous control over Chakra, he managed to create another small "reservoir" outside the mysterious pool of the Strength of a Hundred Technique to store Chakra for easy access during normal times.
This is undoubtedly something he should learn from.
Perhaps we can create a larger and more expansive "lake".
This approach might be a bit difficult for others.
But for Rikuto, this might not be impossible.
This confidence stemmed naturally from his digestion of the Uchiha Clan's rich collection accumulated over many years and his complete transformation of it into his own inner strength.
Three days later, in the Land of Hot Water.
On a scenic hillside.
The group of four, plus a pig, stood there gazing at a small town that was already faintly visible in the distance.
"Wow! Is this the Land of Hot Water?"
"Um..."
Tsunade, who had been here before, said with a smile, "At least half of the shops on this street are hot springs, and even the inns are the hot spring inns..."
"Because of its unique geographical environment, with natural hot springs underground, it's famous far and wide..."
There's a saying in the Land of Hot Water Springs: "Find any spot, dig a deep hole, and you might just find a steaming hot spring gushing out!"
"Marvelous!"
Karin's eyes lit up.
Eager to go, he carried his little medicine basket and ran forward. "Tonton, let's go!"
"Dolphin~~~dolphin~~~"
"Wait, Karin..."
As the "senior sister," Shizune tried her best to appear calm and composed, like an elder.
But then came a light, quick step.
But he betrayed her.
Rikuto followed behind with a smile.
Even Tsunade, their teacher, didn't seem to want to blame them.
Not long after.
The group of four arrived in the small town.
Looking at the shops on both sides of the street that had "hot spring bath" signs hanging on them.
They were speechless with astonishment.
· ··Requesting flowers·· ·····
However, most of the shops clearly had "Closed" signs hanging on them.
"But why are there so few people?"
Looking at the deserted street, with its few scattered, hurried passersby, Karin was puzzled. "And everyone seems to be in a hurry, as if they're afraid of encountering something!"
"When I came here before, it wasn't like this; it was actually quite lively..."
Tsunade couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
"Let's find a place to stay first, and then ask around!"
Rikuto shrugged.
The group quickly found a hot spring hotel that was operating normally and looked quite nice.
"Boss, three rooms with soft beds, plus a table for a top-class banquet..."
Rikuto knocked on the counter.
He woke the hotel owner, who was half-asleep and slumped over there, and said, "Also, arrange a private hot spring, not one where you bathe with strangers!"
Considering Karin's young age.
They were traveling and could encounter danger at any time.
Karin usually sleeps with Shizune.
0 0...
That's why Rikuto directly asked for three rooms.
"Want to book a room?"
I opened my sleepy eyes.
Upon hearing that business was coming in, the somewhat overweight owner, who had just been dozing off, immediately perked up.
Some were pleasantly surprised.
He warmly welcomed the group, saying, "Alright, no problem at all, I'll have it prepared right away... You're all from out of town, aren't you?"
"Yes, we just got here..." Tsunade nodded and asked directly, "Boss, why is it so deserted here? I remember it was very lively when I came here before. There shouldn't be any war going on here now, right?"
"Things have been a bit unsettled here lately..."
The boss received the deposit and registered it there.
He glanced at the group and advised, "It's best not to go out alone..."
"Huh?"
