Lin Yu pondered, it seemed he had no other suitable ninjutsu for Kushina besides the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
He had no idea about Kushina's chakra nature, which was quite troublesome! Disorganized plans were full of errors.
Lin Yu scratched his head, were there any non-elemental ninjutsu suitable for Kushina? The Uzumaki clan had strong bodies, abundant chakra, and was the Nine-Tails jinchūriki… Rasengan!
Yes! It was the Rasengan!
Lin Yu felt a pang of regret, he should have thought of it earlier. Its training difficulty wasn't insurmountable, but its power was immense, with a high ceiling, and it could fuse with various elements to enhance its power. It was also a hand-sign-less ninjutsu. Lin Yu couldn't believe he only thought of this all-purpose skill now, he really wanted to slap himself!
Lin Yu thought about it and decided to teach Kushina the Shadow Clone Jutsu first, and then learn the Rasengan himself before teaching it to her. Thinking about it made Lin Yu feel a bit strange.
Kushina, Rasengan, Kushina, Rasengan…
Minato, you won't blame me, will you!
Although Lin Yu thought this, his hands were not slow. He guided Kushina's hand seals one by one, and vividly explained the chakra circulation method.
Kushina was surprised by Lin Yu's sudden seriousness. She let her small hands be manipulated by Lin Yu, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Yu's focused profile.
As expected! My臭Lin Yu looks the most handsome when he's serious!
I, Kushina, must train hard to become Hokage and defeat both little Mikoto and that old hag Tsunade! (/≧▽≦)
Seeing Kushina lost in thought but with her fighting spirit seemingly growing, Lin Yu, though full of unanswered questions, felt quite relieved. His Kushina was growing up!
…
During the day, when Kushina was at school, Lin Yu would pull Mikoto to train together. In the afternoon, Lin Yu would send Mikoto on a mission and pick up Kushina from school. After a good dinner, the two would continue training…
Days passed one by one, and Lin Yu's Rasengan had been preliminarily mastered. Unlike Naruto's, which required clones, he could control it with one hand! (Don't get any wrong ideas!)
During these more than half a month, Lin Yu hadn't forgotten to train Wood Style, as it was still the fastest way to increase his combat power. The Susanoo armor coupled with the Wood Golem was within reach!
One day, Lin Yu brought Tsunade to the training ground.
"Hey, brat! What are you dragging me here to see? Making such a mystery about it?"
Tsunade, as usual, wore a green trench coat over a white tank top, her certain treasures becoming rounder. Lin Yu inwardly lamented: his exclusive secret recipe was finally starting to work!
"Brat, where are you looking!?"
Tsunade turned sideways, blocking Lin Yu's gaze, her pink fists slightly clenched. Was this kid looking for another beating!
"Cough, cough, Tsunade, you've finally grown up. All my years of effort weren't in vain."
Lin Yu's face flushed slightly, and he quickly changed the subject.
Tsunade became even angrier, what did he mean by 'his effort'! She had grown on her own, with no relation to Lin Yu's secret recipe!
"Hmph! Quickly tell me your purpose, I'm very busy."
Busy playing dice, Lin Yu muttered inwardly.
Without further ado, Lin Yu extended a hand to Tsunade, chakra gathered, and a branch slowly grew from his palm.
Tsunade's expression changed drastically. Her beautiful eyes stared intently at the branch in Lin Yu's palm, her surprise lingering.
How is this possible! This brat actually learned Wood Style!
How long has it been? Am I under a genjutsu? Yes! It must be a genjutsu!
Tsunade secretly formed a hand seal behind her back: Release!
A crow flew past, cawing…
Lin Yu's mouth twitched. Did she think he wouldn't see her if she put her hand behind her back! Tsunade, was she treating him like he was blind!
Tsunade calmly brought her hand back, indifferent to Lin Yu's teasing expression, and said gravely, "This is Wood Style. Lin Yu, how did you learn it?"
Lin Yu scratched his head and said, "How did I learn it? I just watched and learned it. It's very simple!"
Lin Yu retracted the Wood Style, patted his chest. Thankfully, it didn't hurt!
"You just watched and learned it? Brat, who are you trying to fool! Do you think I, Tsunade, am easily deceived!?" Tsunade said, crossing her arms, puffed up with indignation.
Lin Yu glanced at her, indeed! She was very easy to deceive! But he couldn't say that out loud. Lin Yu shrugged and said, "It's really just that I watched and learned it. Maybe I'm just naturally gifted!"
Tsunade stared at Lin Yu for a while before waving her hand and saying, "Forget it! Your half-baked Wood Style is worlds apart from my grandfather's, so there's nothing to fuss about!"
Lin Yu admitted this point. His Wood Style was indeed no match for Hashirama, but it wasn't half-baked! Believe it or not, I'll teach you a lesson with a Wood Golem Jutsu!
Tsunade seemed to have suddenly remembered something and said somewhat awkwardly, "Uh, I have something to do and have to leave. Lin Yu, you… hmm! Train well! You will definitely become a powerful Wood Style ninja like my grandfather! Keep it up!"
As soon as Tsunade finished speaking, she tried to slip away from under Lin Yu's nose. It seemed that escaping from debt was something Tsunade learned from a young age!
Lin Yu looked at the escaping Tsunade with a hint of exasperation. "I'm not going to eat you now, why are you so nervous?" Well! Only now, maybe not in the future!
Tsunade turned her face, slightly flushed, and argued, "I really have something to do! Brat, do you think I, the great Tsunade, would default on my debt! How ridiculous!"
Lin Yu nodded silently. Yes, I don't think so, I'm certain you will default!
Seeing Lin Yu's face full of disbelief, Tsunade looked as if she had lost all her possessions, and dejectedly said, "Fine, I lost the bet. What are your demands? As long as I can do it, and it's not too excessive!"
Lin Yu grinned and said, "I haven't thought of it yet. I'll tell you later!" As for Tsunade's last sentence, Lin Yu selectively ignored it.
"Damn it!" Tsunade suddenly felt a chill and couldn't help but hug herself tighter, seemingly sensing that she would deeply regret not letting Lin Yu state his demands today in the future.
However, she, Tsunade, couldn't force Lin Yu to execute the bet immediately. What if he made some ridiculous demands! The future would take care of itself!
Tsunade shook her head, her beautiful eyes seriously looking at Lin Yu's slightly tender face, and whispered, "Do I need to keep this a secret?"
Lin Yu put away his playful smile and pondered for a moment, saying, "No need. I will personally explain it to the Third Hokage at the time."
Tsunade's hand on her chest trembled slightly. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Lin Yu, you… the old man won't make things difficult for you. If he dares to do anything to you, I… I will stand by your side!"
"Hahaha, it's just Wood Style, right? It's not the powerful Wood Style of Lord First. Don't worry, Tsunade."
Lin Yu grinned, not taking this matter to heart at all.
As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, Lin Yu was confident he could handle him. However… if Danzo knew that he, Lin Yu, knew Wood Style, he would 100% come looking for him, either coercing him to join Root, or kidnapping him directly.
It's fine, it's time for me to formally meet this "Hokage of Scapegoating" in Konoha. There will be many things I'll need to blame him for in the future!
