Meeting Minato Namikaze and Uzumaki Kushina was just a minor interlude.
[Remember the domain name of this site for reading good Taiwanese books easily]
At most, it counted as an acquaintance. Qing Liu and Kurenai Yuhi bid farewell, and the two of them ate dango while walking toward the Yūhi Family residence.
Qing Liu had already revealed his identity, suggesting he might be a member of the Uzumaki Clan.
They would definitely have more contact in the future. Qing Liu wouldn't let go of these two influential figures.
These two people possessed many Ninjutsu that interested Qing Liu.
The various Sealing Techniquess and secret techniques of the Uzumaki Clan; Minato Namikaze's Rasengan, Flying Thunder God Technique, and so on... Meanwhile, watching the two little ones walk away, Uzumaki Kushina stroked her chin, looked at her boyfriend beside her, and asked, "Minato, do you think Qing Liu is an Uzumaki Clan member?"
The Uzumaki Clan does not possess a distinct Bloodline Limit.
If there was one, it would be their formidable vitality and recovery power... External characteristics are hard to distinguish, and she wasn't sure if Qing Liu was an Uzumaki Clan member... Minato Namikaze wasn't entirely certain either, but he replied, "It's possible. Although Qing Liu is still young, based on my perception, his Chakra reserves far exceed his peers."
"But it's hard to confirm. There are also many geniuses who possess Chakra far exceeding their peers. We can only ask Hokage-sama for the specifics."
Whether he is or isn't, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, should have an answer!
"That's right. The Third Hokage old man must know something! Hmph, if he really is an Uzumaki Clan member, that old man actually didn't tell me!"
"Haha, maybe now isn't the right time..."
Minato Namikaze already had some guesses in his heart regarding Qing Liu being an Uzumaki Clan member.
Then he might be the Jinchuriki that the Village plans to focus on training next, right?
Not just anyone can become a Jinchuriki, and those with Uzumaki Clan blood are undoubtedly the most suitable candidates... Jinchuriki... Minato Namikaze glanced at Uzumaki Kushina, sighing internally.
Becoming a Jinchuriki is certainly not a good thing. Kushina is often startled awake from sleep due to interference from the Nine-Tailed's evil Chakra within her body.
What's more painful is that she has completely lost her freedom and must often stay within the Barrier Sealing... Uzumaki Kushina pouted, "I don't care if it's the right time or not. I'll go ask the Third Hokage old man later. If he is, I'll have a younger brother from the same clan!"
She wasn't lonely; Minato Namikaze was always by her side.
But if she had a clansman, she would naturally be very happy.
More importantly, Qing Liu, this little shota, is very cute, and his 'little adult' demeanor looks very interesting!
Minato Namikaze doted on his girlfriend and chuckled, "Alright, alright, I'll go with you later..."
...Back home.
Qing Liu did not slack off and continued his daily training.
He wouldn't rely solely on the System; the System was somewhat abstract, triggered too few missions, and offered too few rewards.
There are many ways to become stronger, and relying on oneself is also a path.
With his outstanding talent, he couldn't let it go to waste. Becoming a 'Wounded Zhongyong' was unacceptable; he had to work hard!
After nearly a month of Chakra extraction, the amount of Chakra stored in Qing Liu's body was considerable.
In Uncle Shinhong's words, he had the level of a typical Genin.
To possess this amount of Chakra after only extracting it for nearly a month confirms it: Qing Liu is a descendant of the Uzumaki Clan!
At this moment, in front of the wooden stake in the backyard.
Qing Liu took a deep breath, his eyes blazing like torches.
He mobilized the Chakra within his body to erupt from the acupoints in his fist. The moment he threw the punch, the Chakra instantly surged, utilizing the striking technique of Bakudo #1: Void.
'Boom!'
A punch was thrown, striking the wooden stake, causing a roaring tremor.
This single punch shattered the wooden stake completely, sending wood chips flying everywhere and scattering across the ground... Shaking his slightly painful right fist, Qing Liu frowned, "I still haven't achieved perfection. The reactive force still causes injury to my fist..."
Qing Liu had a sudden idea to combine the striking technique of Bakudo #1: Void with Chakra application techniques, attempting to replicate the Monster Strength Fist of Tsunade, one of the Sannin.
The effect was quite remarkable.
However, it hadn't reached perfection, as he couldn't completely counteract the reactive force of the attack.
Although it wouldn't result in the bloody mess he experienced when he first threw a punch, he still got injured, just not as severely... Without continuing the attempt, Qing Liu sat on the steps, falling into contemplation: "This shouldn't be happening. With my talent, how is it possible that a month has passed and I still haven't perfected it? What exactly am I missing?"
No matter what he studied, Qing Liu learned quickly, showing exceptional talent.
Having experimented for nearly a month without fully perfecting the Monster Strength Fist, it seemed illogical!
"Could it be that my body is still too weak?"
Looking at his small arms and legs, Qing Liu wondered if it was because his body was still too weak.
After all, since he hadn't fully developed, there must be some limitations... If it wasn't his comprehension, then his physical condition must be inadequate... "Although the Monster Strength Fist is a Chakra application technique, it must also be related to one's physical fitness. After all, it involves a 'fist'; it's a style of Taijutsu, the Steel Fist Style of Taijutsu..." Qing Liu broadened his thinking and pondered.
"Wait, Taijutsu!?"
Thinking of this, Qing Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right, Taijutsu! How could he have forgotten this point?
The Monster Strength Fist is Taijutsu utilizing Chakra; it's definitely not as simple as just randomly punching and surging Chakra to burst into an attack.
The surging and bursting Chakra only serves to make the attack stronger.
Even without bursting Chakra, Tsunade's punches would certainly not be weak.
Regarding Taijutsu, Qing Liu has not yet begun learning it.
The Ninja Academy curriculum is still in the foundational stage, teaching only basic things like theory, exercise, knowledge, and history.
Shurikenjutsu only began to be taught in the last few days, and today was the first practical session.
The curriculum proceeds step by step.
Assuming the Monster Strength Fist requires considering both Taijutsu and physical fitness.
Then Qing Liu, who hasn't even learned the most basic Taijutsu and whose physical fitness is subpar, naturally cannot perfect it completely.
"Maybe that's really the case... Taijutsu and physical fitness..."
Thinking of this possibility, excitement flashed in Qing Liu's eyes.
Being able to figure out the Monster Strength Fist on his own would give Qing Liu a huge sense of accomplishment.
After all, without guidance, cultivating and perfecting it solely by himself is no less difficult than developing it from scratch.
He truly is strong.
"Uncle Shinhong definitely knows basic Taijutsu. I'll practice with him first. Practicing basic Taijutsu should also improve my physical fitness—killing two birds with one stone..."
Qing Liu felt he could start training basic Taijutsu.
Although the Ninja Academy would certainly teach the most basic Taijutsu as the curriculum progressed.
But Qing Liu was a little impatient.
He wanted to finish and perfect the thing that had stumped him for nearly a month as soon as possible, or else it would feel terrible bottled up inside.
Perhaps this was a form of obsessive-compulsive disorder...
