Jiraiya’s blood was boiling, and he couldn’t wait to cultivate this Rasengan filled with the will of love.
Sandaime maintained a poker face, discarding the dross and selecting the essence as he recorded the final training method of the Rasengan, finally commenting that Chakra nature transformation could perhaps be incorporated.
“Alright, Chiba, what kind of Ninjutsu do you need?”
Sandaime felt somewhat mentally exhausted, and subsequently took out the catalog of the Book of Sealing.
On the catalog of the Sealing Jutsu, Chiba saw many forbidden techniques famous in his past life, such as the Flying Thunder God Technique, Spirit Transformation Technique, Darkness Genjutsu, and so on; however, some were not included, such as Edo Tensei and Dead Demon Consuming Seal.
It was completely normal not to let him see such dangerous techniques; perhaps only the few people closest to Sandaime could view the complete Book of Sealing!
“The Flying Thunder God…”
Although Chiba already had his own ideas, he still couldn’t take his eyes off it when he saw the Flying Thunder God Technique.
There was no helping it, Minato, the Home-Returning Hokage, was simply too authoritative—he could genuinely return home whenever he wanted.
Theoretically, a person who had learned the Flying Thunder God Technique could act like a strategic weapon, making enemy nations utterly terrified to make a move.
If they dared, one could just teleport over and hit the daimyo with a Rasengan.
The upper limit of breadth for the Flying Thunder God was also absurdly high, shining brilliantly even at the Super-Kage level, and could even be used as support in Six Paths-level battles.
It was truly a must-choose technique for transmigrators.
Chiba temporarily wasn’t planning to pick this thing.
Because it was too difficult to learn; the Flying Thunder God Technique required space-time talent and exceptionally good attainments in Sealing Jutsu before one could even attempt it, and wanting to use it in combat also required one’s neural reaction speed to keep up.
Up to now, only the Second Hokage and Minato had learned it.
In the future, perhaps Naruto and Sasuke, who had received education in this regard, might learn it.
As a transmigrator, Chiba had a mysterious confidence in himself—he should be able to learn it too, right?
But it would definitely take a massive amount of time, and the Third Shinobi World War was not far away now.
Rather than trying to learn a Ninjutsu that he might or might not master before the Third Shinobi World War, he was currently more willing to enrich himself and raise his overall stats!
“Hokage-sama, I want your training notes on the five-element nature transformations and experimental data regarding the Bloodline Limit.”
Chiba Kawa said softly.
But this soft voice was deafening to the other three.
“Kid, you still want to be my junior brother?”
Jiraiya opened his eyes wide and looked at Chiba.
This kid had massive ambition, immediately wanting to become sworn brothers with him.
Tsunade’s eyes revealed a conflicted look.
On one hand, Chiba was her clansman; putting aside his personality, she naturally wanted him to develop well, and she would also feel at ease if he took the old man as his master.
On the other hand, wouldn’t this generation hierarchy become all messed up?
Would an aunt turn into a senior martial sister?
Sandaime’s eyes showed surprise.
So this fellow had set his sights on him!
What a good eye; it seemed the intelligence about the strongest Hokage had truly struck a chord with people.
However, should he take him as a disciple?
Truth be told, he liked this white-haired kid a lot too.
He was his teacher’s clansman, possessed his teacher’s talent, and had a personality resembling Jiraiya’s.
The more he looked at him, the more he liked him.
Hmm, it’s decided.
He would test him first; he couldn’t accept him as a disciple so easily, lest it create a bad impression.
Just as the three of them were letting their imaginations run wild, Chiba’s voice came over once again.
“Eh, Hokage-sama is known as the Professor of Ninjutsu.
Research in this area should be qualified to enter the Book of Sealing, right?”
Chiba continued to add.
The three of them fell silent for a moment.
“Fine then.
I will compile my research in this area into the Book of Sealing, and in a couple of days, I’ll have someone send it to you.”
Sandaime glanced at Chiba with a somewhat resentful look.
“Haha, thank you, Hokage-sama.”
Seeing that his goal had been accomplished, Chiba couldn’t help but show pleasant surprise and express his gratitude.
Then, after taking the two Ninjutsu scrolls from Jiraiya, he left the place.
The data aspect was all prepared; next, he would have to rely on Shadow Clones to grind it out!
“Tsunade, you should know what Chiba wants to do, right?”
Sandaime’s gaze remained fixed on the retreating back of Chiba until it disappeared.
He sighed emotionally about Konoha’s tender sprouts, and then asked Tsunade.
“Isn’t it obvious?
Developing a Bloodline Limit.
What a truly audacious brat who doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth.”
Tsunade bit her lip and said irritably.
“He has a lot of talent in this area, doesn’t he?
And he is very well-prepared, trading the Rasengan for my research materials, along with Ninjutsu of similar nature.”
Sandaime was still relatively optimistic about Chiba.
He wasn’t blindly messing around behind closed doors; having made adequate preparations, there was hope for success.
“But if he doesn’t succeed, it’ll ruin him.
I’m afraid this kid will stay a Jonin for the rest of his life.”
Rather than having Chiba rack his brains to develop a Bloodline Limit, Tsunade felt it would be better for him to learn their Senju secret techniques.
With Chiba’s potential, it was enough to achieve the Kage level.
“Therefore, you must supervise him.
You are the head of the Senju Clan, and he is your clansman; you must be responsible for him.”
Sandaime looked sternly at this disciple who had lost her drive.
Chiba’s appearance had indeed added a bit of spirit to the long-depressed Tsunade.
“Alright, I know.”
Tsunade nodded somewhat irritably, continually muttering about an annoying brat as she slammed the door and walked out.
Seeing that Tsunade was also leaving, Jiraiya didn’t stay long either and followed Tsunade away.
“Mud Release, eh?
Chiba, I hope you can let Konoha have one more Bloodline Limit.”
Sandaime was knowledgeable and experienced.
Based on the techniques given by Jiraiya, he had already guessed that Chiba’s target was Mud Release.
…
Chiba Kawa learned the Mystic Palm Technique quite easily; his innate Chakra affinities should be Water, Earth, and Yang.
Using Yang Release as the foundation to develop a Bloodline Limit was simply too out of spec, so Chiba conservatively chose Water and Earth.
As for the Bloodline Limits that could be combined from Water and Earth, there were Lava Release and Mud Release.
Lava Release was extremely famous, being the Bloodline Limit of the Fourth Mizukage, Mei Terumī.
This Bloodline Limit possessed immense power and could even destroy a Susanoo!
And what kind of things could destroy a Susanoo?
The Advanced Bloodline Dust Release, and Tsunade’s full-strength monstrous strength!
Developing this kind of Bloodline Limit would grant top-tier attack power beneath the Six Paths level.
However, Chiba chose Mud Release.
Mud Release was unknown and utterly mediocre, but it was good.
Lava Release probably involved developing the acidity of earth; Chiba expressed that he couldn’t understand it.
How could it compare to Mud Release, which was so simple and straightforward?
Just mix water and earth together, and that was it.
He also understood some advanced concrete, and had jutsus with similar properties like Netherworld Swamp to use as reference.
Chiba could state very clearly that Mud Release was definitely the easiest Bloodline Limit for him to develop!
As for the Senju Clan’s Wood Release?
Chiba could only say that if it was merely a Bloodline Limit combining Water and Earth, he would write his name backwards from then on!
Throughout the entire Senju Clan, only Senju Hashirama had self-awakened this thing; Ashura had obtained it because Hagoromo gave him a cheat.
He strongly suspected that Hashirama’s Sage Body was even more authoritative than Ashura’s, directly undergoing atavism to obtain the power of the God Tree.
Wood Release had a strong suppression effect on Tailed Beasts.
Who the hell would believe it if someone said it had nothing to do with the God Tree?
And how could the power of the God Tree possibly be just a Water and Earth Release Bloodline Limit?
For Hashirama’s version of Wood Release, Chiba believed that an Advanced Bloodline combination of Water, Earth, and Yang was a conservative estimate.
He even felt that it was accompanied by a trace of Yin Release.
After all, the extremely vivid creation of the Wooden Person, Wood Dragon, and the Thousand-Handed Buddha was extremely similar to Yin Release giving form to the formless.
In short, as for the power of Wood Release, Chiba didn’t dare to harbor wild fantasies about it casually.
