Chapter 26
"Alright, I'm not out of options."
Ling Yu patted his chest, face brimming with confidence.
"Really?"
Mikoto lifted her small face toward him, eyes sparkling with anticipation.
She really wanted to see Ling Yu's home. Tsunade had been so kind to her, and she didn't want to dampen her enthusiasm. But given her identity, going there directly made her feel a little disappointed.
Now, with Ling Yu saying he had a solution, her heart filled with excitement and joy.
"Come with me. Let me show you what I mean."
Ling Yu smiled without explaining further. He took both their hands and led them toward an empty alley—he would prove his words with strength.
Inside the dead-end alley, Ling Yu stopped in front of a wall, then turned around. Seeing the two girls looking at him in confusion, he didn't keep them in suspense.
With a snap of his fingers, Space Power activated. A blue vortex instantly appeared on the wall.
"Wow!"
Both girls' eyes widened in shock, exclaiming in unison.
Instead of the dull gray wall, the vortex reflected a very familiar living room—the one in Tsunade's house.
Tsunade slowly approached the blue portal, reaching out as if to touch it, then hesitated, still a little afraid.
"Ling Yu… what is this? Isn't that our living room inside?"
She pointed at the vortex, turning to Ling Yu in confusion. Mikoto stood beside her, equally bewildered.
"A new skill I learned—Teleportation Gate."
Ling Yu smiled brightly, took their hands again, and walked toward the portal while explaining:
"It's similar to Flying Thunder God Technique—allows instant movement to marked locations. The difference is I can create a gate on the spot so others can pass through too."
"Though it's instant teleportation, I can only go to places I've been before. The farther the distance, the more chakra it consumes."
The moment they stepped through the portal, the scenery changed completely. The lifeless dead-end alley vanished, replaced by the familiar living room of Ling Yu's home.
The sudden transformation left both girls in awe. Out of curiosity, they stepped back through to the alley, then returned again—going back and forth several times, clearly enjoying themselves.
"How's that? Pretty amazing, right?"
To avoid being seen by others and to save chakra, Ling Yu quickly stopped them and closed the portal.
"So amazing!"
Mikoto clapped her small hands excitedly, staring at him in admiration.
"Not bad at all. As expected from my little brother."
Tsunade ruffled Ling Yu's hair, genuinely proud from the bottom of her heart.
She recalled how Ling Yu had taught her the Six Powers earlier—also thanks to some "secret" he couldn't explain. This must be the same kind of thing, she thought.
"You two have to keep this a secret, okay?"
Ling Yu smiled and looked at both of them, hoping they wouldn't tell anyone.
"Of course. Who would casually spill something this powerful?"
Tsunade slung an arm around Ling Yu's shoulders, promising she'd keep quiet. If she had such an incredible skill, she'd hide it too.
Mikoto nodded in agreement, giving a soft "Mm."
"By the way, since we're on the topic—come with me. I'll show you my full strength right now."
With their assurance, Ling Yu beckoned them to follow.
Since Tsunade already trusted him so much, there was no point hiding his power anymore.
To ease her worries when she went on missions in the future, it was time to reveal everything.
With that in mind, Ling Yu led Tsunade and Mikoto from the living room to the underground training ground.
Mikoto, seeing such a massive training space for the first time, looked around with wide, curious eyes.
"Alright, just watch."
After positioning them in a safe spot where they wouldn't get hurt, Ling Yu began his full power demonstration.
From various ninjutsu to the abilities of his Enhanced Rinnegan, and finally the use of Space Power—Ling Yu showcased every single skill without holding back.
During the display, when his chakra ran low, he paused briefly to recover before continuing.
"Is this… really something a six-year-old can do?"
Tsunade watched every technique intently. Looking at the cratered, pitted ground left by Ling Yu's attacks, she felt—for the first time—that maybe she'd wasted her teenage years.
At only six years old, Ling Yu's displayed strength had already reached her own elite jonin level—possibly even approaching quasi-Kage.
He was practically a monster. If he weren't the little brother she'd watched grow up, she'd suspect someone had used Transformation Technique to trick her.
"Haa… so, how was it? Pretty impressive, right?"
After finishing the full display, Ling Yu caught his breath and walked toward them.
"So strong!"
Mikoto rushed forward with a smile, throwing herself at him. Her admiration was completely unconcealed. In her eyes, Ling Yu was the most powerful person alive.
From effortlessly defeating Uchiha Mad, to creating that incredible teleportation gate—each shocking moment had erased any doubt she had.
If tomorrow Ling Yu said he could split the moon, Mikoto would believe him without hesitation.
Chuu
Ling Yu caught her in his arms. Seeing her look of pure worship, his sense of accomplishment soared. Unable to resist, he planted a kiss on her cheek.
Mikoto's face instantly turned bright red from the sudden attack. She ran out of his embrace and hid behind Tsunade, shyly touching her cheek.
Feeling the lingering moisture, her heart filled with sweetness.
Watching Mikoto act like a little girl who'd just received candy, Ling Yu's affection for her grew even stronger.
"What's wrong, Sis?"
He turned and noticed Tsunade still standing in a daze, looking worried.
"N-nothing…"
It took Tsunade several seconds to snap out of it. Then she crouched down, looked straight into Ling Yu's eyes, and spoke with deep relief:
"My little brother has really grown up. That level of strength… even I can't keep up anymore."
"Sis will always be my sister. I promise I'll protect you."
Ling Yu gently hugged Tsunade, burying his face in her chest for a moment, savoring the warmth. Then he lifted his head and made the serious promise.
"Pfft, alright. I'll keep training hard too. When the time comes, the Senju clan will be in your hands. I'll stand by your side as your right and left arm."
Tsunade picked Ling Yu up, took Mikoto's hand, and the three of them left the training ground.
Now that she truly understood Ling Yu's strength, Tsunade no longer worried about his safety. In high spirits, she happily gave Mikoto a full tour of their home.
