Chapter 113: Sharing! (Seeking subscriptions, monthly passes, and recommendation tickets!)
"Mother!"
Sarutobi Asuma hugged his mother, Sarutobi Biwako.
Sarutobi Biwako, who knew Sarutobi Asuma would be back today, had already prepared hot water and his son's favorite dishes.
After a refreshing bath, Sarutobi Asuma began to eat heartily.
He was so sick of eating Ration Pills and the like during this period.
"Once this war is over, I'll have about ten years of quiet development time."
Sarutobi Asuma thought to himself, while chatting with his mother about the recent happenings in Konoha.
For example, Minato was going to marry Uzumaki Kushina.
Sarutobi Asuma wasn't surprised, as both Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina were 22 years old now.
To become Hokage, getting married first made him appear more stable.
Moreover, among Konoha's higher-ups, Uzumaki Kushina's identity was also a bonus point for Namikaze Minato!
After a satisfying meal.
Sarutobi Asuma strolled through the streets and arrived at Yūhi Kurenai's house, only to find out that Yūhi Kurenai and the others had already left for a mission in the southern Land of Fire.
The Mist Ninja hadn't made any large movements, but small skirmishes were constant.
Sarutobi Asuma frowned, thinking of Rin's death.
Pushing the thought aside, he went to the Konoha Hospital.
As expected, Tsunade and Shizune were both there.
It was still wartime, so they were extremely busy.
As soon as Sarutobi Asuma appeared, he barely had time to note that Shizune had grown a bit taller and more mature before he was roped into helping.
Thus, a large number of Sarutobi Asuma's Shadow Clones appeared at the Konoha Hospital.
Around 6 PM.
Sarutobi Asuma, exhausted like a dog, walked out of the Konoha Hospital with Tsunade and Shizune.
Tsunade looked at his weak appearance and snorted, "Stop pretending. You've mastered Sage Mode, you wouldn't be this tired!"
Shizune couldn't help but giggle upon hearing this.
Sarutobi Asuma suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and said grumpily, "Sister Tsunade, I can continuously replenish my cells with Natural Energy, but if the output is greater than the input, I will naturally get tired."
"Moreover, mental fatigue isn't easily relieved."
The exhaustion from hundreds of Shadow Clones converging back into his main body was immense. If not for his strong Constitution, he definitely wouldn't have been able to handle it.
"Tch!"
Tsunade pouted, then comforted him, "I'll treat you to a hot spring bath and then some barbecue!"
Sarutobi Asuma's eyes lit up, "Together?"
"Go to hell!"
Tsunade punched Sarutobi Asuma, sending him flying, and angrily went to find Jiraiya. "This guy has learned bad habits from Jiraiya, that scoundrel!"
Jiraiya, who had just emerged from the Hokage Office Building, saw Tsunade. Before he could even feel joy, he sensed trouble.
"Tsunade seems furious!"
A drop of cold sweat trickled down his face. Jiraiya immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to escape.
"Jiraiya, you scoundrel, don't run!"
Tsunade roared.
Jiraiya ran even faster.
If he didn't run, he'd probably end up hospitalized.
He had just returned and hadn't even gone to see those ladies yet!
On the other side, Sarutobi Asuma rubbed his chest and complained, "Shizune, you didn't even stop her."
Shizune snorted, "Who told you to be so lecherous!"
Sarutobi Asuma's eyes widened, "Shizune, you've changed, you're not gentle at all anymore!"
"Am I that kind of person?"
Shizune glanced at him, "Don't think I don't know about you and Kurenai..."
As she spoke, she blushed and quickly stopped herself.
Such private matters between girls shouldn't be spoken aloud.
Sarutobi Asuma, however, shamelessly spread his hands, "Kurenai and I are in a relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend!"
Shizune became serious and said, "Although Lord Jiraiya is one of the Sannin and a ninja worthy of respect and admiration, Asuma, you cannot learn from Lord Jiraiya's womanizing and vagrant ways."
"If Lord Jiraiya hadn't done that, maybe Tsunade..."
Before she could finish, Shizune quickly stopped herself as Tsunade returned.
Sarutobi Asuma immediately averted his gaze, and the three of them went to soak in the hot springs, followed by yakiniku.
Unfortunately, Tsunade, who had promised to treat them, ended up footing the bill.
"Sigh, what a loss!"
After parting ways, Sarutobi Asuma sighed.
He had truly lost money and people; a bad match indeed!
Returning home, Sarutobi Asuma found his older brother and father were both there.
Thus, a family meeting began.
It was primarily about Sarutobi Asuma.
This was because even his father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was no longer fully aware of his son's capabilities.
He had grown too fast, like a whoosh, transforming from a rookie into someone who surpassed the Kage!
Yes!
Nowadays, when Sarutobi Asuma was mentioned outside Konoha, in addition to the title "Konoha's Purple Flash," they would add "Someone who Surpassed the Kage"!
"Magnet Release, I researched Magnet Release from the One-Tail's chakra. I first cultivated Magnet Release, then combined it with Lightning Style to form the Kekkei Tōta, Magnet Release!"
After a brief explanation, Sarutobi Asuma said, "I will set aside time to summarize the specific process and cultivation experience, and add it to the clan's foundation."
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, while Sarutobi Shinya asked, "Asuma, how difficult is it to master Magnet Release?"
"Iwagakure's Dust Release has already reached the second generation, but only the Third Tsuchikage alone has mastered it."
Difficulty?
Sarutobi Asuma pondered for a moment, "The level of difficulty depends on an individual's mastery of Chakra Nature Transformation."
"For example, Magnet Release can be formed by combining Earth Style and Wind Style, or by combining Earth Style and Lightning Style."
"Without the experience of predecessors, researching Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta requires not only mastery of Chakra Nature Transformation but also some luck."
"With the experience of predecessors, the key lies in the depth of comprehension of Chakra Nature Transformation."
Looking at his brother, Sarutobi Shinya, Sarutobi Asuma smiled, "Brother, your mastery of Earth Style should be sufficient. You can try Magnet Release first, either by combining it with Wind Style or Lightning Style."
Sarutobi Shinya thought for a moment and said, "Let's go with Wind Style, my Wind Style is stronger than my Lightning Style!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen possessed all seven Chakra Nature Transformations, and Sarutobi Asuma and his brother had inherited this, but each Chakra Nature Transformation had its own strengths.
For instance, Sarutobi Shinya had exceptional talent in Earth Style. Although only 18 years old, his application of Earth Style already surpassed his father, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Alright, then Earth Style and Wind Style. Wind Style is also something I'm good at, so I know exactly how to train it."
Sarutobi Asuma smiled, then looked at his father, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said, "Father, you can try Magnet Release, although it will be quite difficult."
"But whether it's Kekkei Genkai or Kekkei Tōta, they have an impact on one's constitution."
"Especially Kekkei Tōta, Magnet Release will significantly improve one's constitution, affect metabolism, thereby delaying aging and extending lifespan!"
Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Shinya immediately said, "Father, you've mastered various ninjutsu, and with younger brother's training experience, you'll definitely be able to master it!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded, but he wasn't as optimistic as Sarutobi Shinya.
If Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta were truly that easy, there wouldn't be so few of them!
After discussing bloodline abilities, Sarutobi Hiruzen asked about the black sphere again.
Sarutobi Asuma did not hide anything. "The black sphere is called a Truth-Seeking Ball. It belongs to ninjutsu but surpasses Kekkei Genkai and Kekkei Tōta. It is formed by fusing all seven Chakra Nature Transformations and is a technique based on Yin-Yang Release!"
Truth-Seeking Ball!
Fusing all seven Chakra Nature Transformations!
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Sarutobi Shinya were both shocked.
"You just need to know the characteristics of this technique yourself,"
Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped Sarutobi Asuma, who was about to continue.
Sarutobi Asuma nodded.
The family meeting concluded, and Sarutobi Asuma retrieved scrolls and began writing diligently.
First, his cultivation experience with the seven Chakra Nature Transformations.
Then, Wind Release Chakra Mode and Lightning Release Chakra Mode.
Next, the development process and cultivation experience of Scorch Release.
The development and experience of Magnet Release, and Magnet Release.
Finally, Sarutobi Asuma thought for a moment and wrote down his cultivation experience with Truth-Seeking Balls, as well as his own insights into Yin-Yang Release.
By the time he finished organizing everything, dawn had broken outside.
Sealing each ninjutsu scroll with a Sage Power Eight Trigrams Seal and placing them into the large sealing scroll he carried, Sarutobi Asuma, too lazy to sleep, got up directly for his morning training.
