Naruto: The Uchiha remnants of the Senju clan!

Chapter 60 Hiruzen Sarutobi: Kiyoha has won my heart

Qingyu sheathed the Thunder God Sword, and the white aura on the sword slowly dissipated.

"Asuma, you're very strong, but I'm a little stronger."

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi Asuma felt his face burn even more intensely.

He had prepared for so long, even going to the old man to ask for these two chakra blades. Every day after school, he would practice Wind Release nature transformation in the backyard, all to prove himself in front of Kurenai.

In the end, he was utterly defeated, his fist blade even chipped, while Red watched from the sidelines.

Kurenai's gaze shifted from the pair of chipped fist blades on the ground to Kiyoha.

"Qingyu has become stronger again. With this level of strength, even the genin outside probably can't beat him."

Kakashi stood next to her, his hands in his pockets, and shook his head upon hearing this.

"Don't even mention genin, Kiyoha can fight even a chunin now."

After hearing Kakashi's words, Rin Nohara subconsciously asked:

"Does that mean Qingyu can go straight to the Chunin Exams after graduation?"

Kakashi nodded.

What he didn't say was that, given Qingyu's current rate of progress, by the time he truly graduates, his strength will likely have far surpassed the level of a Chunin.

As he listened to the surrounding chatter, Sarutobi Asuma silently picked up the chakra blade from the ground and removed the blade from his fingers.

The notch on the blade was particularly glaring in the setting sun.

He didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the training ground.

When Sarutobi Asuma opened the door, Sarutobi Hiruzen was sitting in the living room looking at a scroll of intelligence sent from the border.

He looked up at his son and saw that Asma's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"What's wrong?"

Asuma slammed the chakra blade onto the table.

"Old man, the ninja tools you gave me are completely useless! Why did you give Qingyu such good ninja tools? I can't beat him at all!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi put down the scroll in his hand and picked up the chakra sword on the table to examine it carefully.

The deep notch on the blade startled him slightly.

This chakra blade is forged from chakra metal. Although it is only ordinary-grade chakra metal, its hardness and toughness far exceed those of ordinary iron.

An ordinary samurai sword wouldn't even leave a scratch, let alone make such a deep cut.

He knew the power of the Thunder God Sword, but the Thunder God Sword itself was only a conductor of chakra, and its power depended entirely on the user's chakra strength and chakra attribute.

Even if Qingyu used the Thunder God Sword, he would still need a very strong chakra output to leave this level of damage on chakra metal.

Qingyu's strength is even greater than what he saw in the crystal ball.

This child truly embodies the strengths of both clans: the Senju clan's chakra reserves and physique, and the Uchiha clan's eye power and Yin Release talent. They blend together in him as if he were born to be this way.

Thinking of this, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly laughed heartily and returned the chakra sword to Asuma.

"Qingyu is indeed a genius, which surprised even me. But you should know that the Thunder God's Sword itself is not strong; what is strong is Qingyu, who wields it."

"Even if you swapped your ninja tools, the result wouldn't be any different."

Then, Hiruzen Sarutobi added another sentence.

"However, if you work harder, you might have a chance to catch up with Qingyu."

Sarutobi Asuma paused for a moment, then looked down at the pair of chipped chakra blades in his hand and remained silent for a long while.

He didn't answer, but simply put the chakra knife back on his finger and turned to walk towards the backyard.

Hiruzen Sarutobi watched his son's retreating figure, then picked up his pipe and took a puff.

Having Qingyu as a living, breathing target in front of him is far more effective than a hundred well-intentioned words of advice.

Seeing the rebellious Sarutobi Asuma return to the right path, Hiruzen Sarutobi was overjoyed.

Qingyu is exactly my type!

She possesses exceptional talent, has inherited the spirit of the Will of Fire, and can even motivate this rebellious son to study.

Since becoming Hokage, apart from Minato Namikaze, Hiruzen Sarutobi has never seen a junior as outstanding as Kiyoha.

"What should we give Qingyu as a reward we promised?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered.

…………

In the backyard, Qingyu was testing the results of her training in Fire Release ninjutsu.

Fire Release: Flame Bullet!

Qingyu held the oil made from chakra in his mouth, and as he spat it out, he heated it with fire-style chakra, causing it to burn.

A ball of fire suddenly spewed out of Qingyu's mouth, scorching the air in front of him.

"The power is alright."

Qingyu thought of it.

Moreover, this technique, besides allowing the release of fire-style jutsu, also taught Qingyu how to convert chakra into oil.

If he learns "Sage Mode" in the future, he can also convert the "Sage Chakra" in his body into oil and release "Fire Release: Great Flame Bullet", which can increase the power tenfold.

"It's just that my progress in developing the Sharingan is a bit slow."

Qingyu thought to himself.

Because Obito received a transplant of "Hashirama cells," he possessed the effect of "eternal Mangekyou Sharingan" even when using the Mangekyou Sharingan.

No matter how you use it, you don't need to worry about going blind.

Although he does not have "Hashirama cells", the bloodline of the Senju clan in his body also carries a strong Yang Release power to balance the Sharingan.

If the Senju bloodline is further enhanced, even without transplanting "Hashirama cells," a similar effect may be achieved, thus freeing one from the troubles of blindness.

However, the evolution of the Sharingan requires strong emotional stimulation as a catalyst, but Qingyu has always taken a steady and methodical approach, with very few emotional fluctuations.

"I can only enhance my Yang Release or Yin Release to speed up the transformation of my Sharingan."

Qingyu pondered who she should ask to train the relevant traits.

When he finished his training and returned to the living room, Tsunade was sitting cross-legged on the sofa.

The light blue capri pants were stretched taut, revealing Tsunade's rounded thighs.

When Tsunade saw Qingyu enter, she gestured for Qingyu to sit down next to her.

"Orochimaru has some free time lately, so I discussed it with him. I'll be taking you out on a few missions with him, as a kind of practical training."

Qingyu looked up, somewhat surprised.

Two legendary Sannin leading a small team—this honor is probably unique in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

"Tsunade-neechan, I want to learn the 'Shadow Clone Technique'."

"Why would I need to learn this?"

Tsunade paused slightly in the teacup she was holding.

While the Shadow Clone Technique is convenient, it consumes far more chakra than the regular Shadow Clone Technique, and most genin simply don't have enough chakra to sustain it.

"The learning efficiency of shadow clones can be stacked. After they are deactivated, all the experience and memories will return to the original body. If you use this to cultivate, the progress will be much faster."

Tsunade frowned slightly.

She was certainly aware of this characteristic of shadow clones, but when a shadow clone is dispelled, the accumulated fatigue is transmitted back to the original body, which puts a considerable burden on the body.

However, Kiyoyu inherited the Senju clan's physique, and his chakra reserves were indeed far beyond those of ordinary people, so he could withstand using shadow clones to assist in his training.

"Okay, I'll teach you."

She put down her teacup and turned to look at Jingyin, who was organizing her medical notes beside her.

"What does Shizune want to learn?"

Jingyin thought for a moment, then put down her pen.

"I think I'll continue learning medical ninjutsu. I've recently been trying to practice variations of detoxification techniques, and there are a few things I'd like to ask you for guidance on."

Tsunade nodded and began to explain to the two of them separately.

He explained the Shadow Clone Technique to Qingyu, and a C-rank medical ninjutsu to Shizune.

Qingyu, meanwhile, was also learning with great eagerness.

Over the next month, Qingyu successfully learned this ninjutsu.

Time has come, and it's getting colder in December.

At this time, Qingyu also planned to graduate early.
