Chapter 16: Meeting Tsunade
"Why are you happier than me?"
Hoshikawa asked, looking at the skipping Kurenai Yūhi.
"Because you defeated Asuma with genjutsu."
Kurenai Yūhi tilted her head, found an excuse, and said, "Maybe I can do it too in the future."
"Then you still need to work hard."
Hoshikawa replied, recalling the plot.
"I know!"
Kurenai Yūhi snorted softly, sounding a bit displeased.
"I'll teach you when I have time."
Hoshikawa couldn't help but smile.
Her pouting expression was quite cute.
"You said it!"
Kurenai Yūhi's ruby-like eyes lit up, saying, "You teach me how to defeat Asuma!"
"Why do you want to defeat him?"
Hoshikawa raised an eyebrow, asking curiously, "Do you dislike him?"
"Dislike isn't the word."
Kurenai Yūhi pouted and said, "He's always showing off in front of me, looking so smug."
It was normal for children to show off.
Perhaps in the original story, Sarutobi Asuma won over Kurenai Yūhi exactly this way.
But now with him, the situation seemed different.
Hoshikawa smiled and said, "Alright, I'll teach you."
Under normal circumstances, Kurenai Yūhi definitely couldn't beat Sarutobi Asuma.
But with careful planning against an unsuspecting opponent, and a bit of special training, winning a time or two wouldn't be a problem.
After all, Sarutobi Asuma was only six years old now.
No matter how strong he was, he couldn't be that strong.
The only thing to worry about was his father, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He would definitely step in to help.
The two quickly arrived home.
Kurenai Yūhi pushed open the door, took off her shoes to reveal her little feet, and called out, "I'm home!"
"Welcome home."
Yūhi Shinku quickly appeared before them and said, "Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."
Hoshikawa nodded slightly.
After dinner, he remembered his newly acquired entry, 'Shippūden,' which increased his Wind Release talent by 10%.
Chakra natures were divided into five types: Water, Fire, Lightning, Wind, and Earth, plus the special Yin and Yang.
Everyone was born with an affinity, but it needed to be tested with chakra paper.
Hoshikawa didn't know what his innate affinity was.
In the original story, Kakashi Hatake tested Naruto Uzumaki's affinity after the Chunin Exams, which was quite late.
It was likely because chakra nature transformation training was only considered after reaching Chunin rank.
For Genin, learning the Three Basic Jutsu and chakra shape transformation was enough.
Speaking of the epitome of chakra shape transformation, one couldn't help but mention the Rasengan.
In the original story, the method for training the Rasengan was also provided.
He just didn't know if it would work in reality.
"Uncle Shinku."
Hoshikawa looked up and asked, "Do you have chakra paper?"
"What's chakra paper?"
Kurenai Yūhi asked curiously.
"It's used to test your chakra affinity."
Yūhi Shinku thought for a moment and said, "Although it's a bit early now, there's no harm in knowing early."
He got up and went to his room, and after a short while, he returned with two square pieces of paper, each only palm-sized.
"Just channel your chakra into them."
Yūhi Shinku explained, "The chakra paper will react differently according to your chakra affinity."
"Let me try."
Kurenai Yūhi excitedly took the chakra paper.
Soon, the paper changed.
The right half burned, but the left half was soaked in water, appearing damp.
"How amazing!"
Kurenai Yūhi exclaimed, looking at the scene of water and fire blending.
"It's Water Release and Fire Release."
Yūhi Shinku said with some surprise, "It's rare for conflicting natures like water and fire to appear simultaneously."
"Does that mean I can learn Water Release and Fire Release ninjutsu?"
Kurenai Yūhi blinked and asked.
"Yes."
Yūhi Shinku nodded, then said gravely, "But there's no need. Mastering genjutsu is already enough for you."
Being able to skillfully master two chakra natures was already the standard for a Jonin.
This showed how difficult it was.
Given Kurenai Yūhi's talent, specializing in genjutsu would clearly make her a Jonin faster than specializing in Water Release and Fire Release.
While the two conversed, Hoshikawa's chakra affinity was already determined.
It was Lightning and Fire.
Can he guide it with a sword now?
Hoshikawa pondered.
His innate affinities did not include Wind.
Under normal circumstances, he would need to spend time cultivating it.
But now with the system, he had a new path.
"Hoshikawa, same for you, master genjutsu first."
Yūhi Shinku reminded him again to prevent Hoshikawa from expending unnecessary energy.
"Okay."
Hoshikawa didn't argue; he just nodded.
"Dad, I have to tell you, Hoshikawa defeated Asuma today!"
Kurenai Yūhi suddenly remembered something and said proudly, "Genjutsu is much stronger than Wind Release!"
The amount of information was so great that Yūhi Shinku didn't react for a moment.
Hoshikawa, who had only been learning for a week, actually defeated the Hokage-sama's son?
He truly is a genius!
Yūhi Shinku took a few seconds to compose himself, then smiled and said, "Excellent. Genjutsu will give you a huge advantage in battle."
This statement was indeed correct.
Provided you didn't encounter a ninja from the Uchiha clan.
The Sharingan's ability to cast genjutsu without hand seals was simply a natural counter to ordinary genjutsu ninja.
Hoshikawa didn't react much, but Kurenai Yūhi found an unprecedented motivation.
After resting for a moment, she ran off to practice genjutsu.
Hoshikawa, on the other hand, went to the small woods outside, using the lamplight for ninja tool throwing practice.
It was a new day.
Hoshikawa noticed his popularity in class soaring.
People kept approaching him to chat, especially the female students.
In the ninja world, strength was paramount.
Hoshikawa, being handsome and strong, naturally gained popularity.
After all, children were very pure.
Kurenai Yūhi watched Hoshikawa, who was surrounded, and for the first time felt a subtle emotion, as if something that belonged to her had been taken away.
As for Sarutobi Asuma, he glanced at them and then ignored them.
Last night, Hiruzen Sarutobi had taught him how to dispel genjutsu.
But he wasn't in a hurry to challenge Hoshikawa to a duel; he planned to wait until he was confident.
Class time flew by, and soon it was Saturday.
Hoshikawa woke up very early.
Besides training, he also had to go to the orphanage.
Hoshikawa first ran a lap around the streets, then ran towards the orphanage.
Before he even reached the orphanage, several lines of text appeared before his eyes.
[E-rank Talent Entry: Robust Physique (Acquired).]
[Trigger Condition: Body reaches Genin minimum level.]
[Effect: Stamina recovery speed increased by 10% on the original basis.]
[Note: Has two synthesis paths.]
[First path: Add E-rank entry 'Fleet-Footed' and E-rank entry 'One Thousand Years of Death' to synthesize D-rank entry 'Taijutsu Genin'.]
[Second path: Add D-rank entry 'Medical Ninja' and E-rank entry 'Fleet-Footed' to synthesize C-rank entry 'Godlike Strength'.]
Hoshikawa couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
The acquisition of 'Robust Physique' was a natural progression; he wasn't surprised.
The stamina recovery speed was also good, allowing him to train for longer periods.
What exceeded his expectations were the two synthesis paths for 'Robust Physique'.
Although the difficulty spiked, Hoshikawa still chose the second synthesis path without hesitation.
This C-rank entry, 'Godlike Strength,' combined with the C-rank entry 'Innate Full Soul,' most likely indicated Yang Release talent.
"Hoshikawa? You're here so early? Have you eaten?"
Yakushi Nonō's voice rang out.
"Matron."
Hoshikawa came back to his senses and said, "I had rice balls earlier."
"Here."
Yakushi Nonō handed him a glass of milk and said, "Drink this, then I'll take you to see Lady Tsunade."
"Okay."
Hoshikawa chugged down the milk.
The two walked out and soon arrived at Konoha Hospital.
Hoshikawa followed Yakushi Nonō upstairs and finally met Tsunade in an office.
She was wearing a tea-green long coat, sitting on a sofa with her long legs crossed, showing a voluptuous figure.
Her golden long hair was tied into a ponytail, a diamond-shaped Yin Seal mark on her forehead, and her face was beautiful and delicate.
Her sleeveless top was bulging, subtly revealing fair skin and forming a prominent curve.
Hoshikawa's gaze instinctively fell into that abyss.
Greatness, no words needed.
It was even more shocking than in the anime.
It wasn't until Hoshikawa met those bright brown eyes that he shivered.
Oops, forgot to turn off auto-aim.
