[Swoosh—]
[In the next instant, that green figure flew out.]
[The commotion on this side was huge.]
[The commotion on the other side was just as significant.]
[Everyone was working hard on their cultivation.]
[And their 'teacher' was the former Fourth Hokage.]
[In this way, Naruto was also liberated.]
[Allowing Naruto to focus on his own cultivation without distractions.]
[With the return of Kushina and Minato Namikaze, Naruto had many more Ninjutsu available to cultivate.]
[For example—the Flying Thunder God Technique.]
[Even the Great Fox wasn't idle.]
[He began researching Sealing Jutsu within the Sealing Space.]
[Since it concerned his Yin half, the Great Fox didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent.]
[On the girls' side, Kushina was leading them in their cultivation.]
[With the New Shinobi Sect, there was no shortage of Chakra, and with a powerful 'teacher' guiding them, progress in strength was inevitable and extremely fast.]
[But among the girls, many were lopsided in their skills.]
[Thus, at Naruto's suggestion, Kushina found a direction.]
[The Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Jutsu.]
[Mystical Palm Technique, Monstrous Strength, and Eternal Youth.]
[Kushina naturally understood Uzumaki Mito's Yin Seal.]
[Plus, her own attainment in Sealing Jutsu was already quite high.]
[During this time, she had been teaching the girls how to cultivate.]
[Of course, whether it was Uzumaki Mito's Yin Seal or Tsunade's second-generation creation, the Hundred Healings Jutsu, based on it...]
[The difficulty was extremely high.]
[Upon observation, the only one who could succeed was Sakura.]
[But that didn't mean the others had no chance to cultivate it.]
[The Yin Seal is, in essence, a type of Sealing Jutsu.]
[With the knowledge instilled by Naruto, Kushina joined forces with the girls to research a new Yin Seal.]
[It wasn't that difficult; they just had to integrate the characteristics of the New Shinobi Sect with those of the Yin Seal.]
[Monstrous Strength requires very precise Chakra control.]
[But this isn't absolute; Kushina also possesses Monstrous Strength.]
[As long as the Chakra volume is large enough, it works.]
[To put it another way, the first step in cultivating Tsunade's Monstrous Strength is learning the Mystical Palm Technique to enhance precise Chakra control...]
[Think of it like threading a needle.]
[One way is using a strand of hair to thread the needle; to achieve the goal, you can't do it if your eyesight is poor.]
[But what if you replace the needle with a larger one?]
[Learning the Mystical Palm Technique first, and then Monstrous Strength and Eternal Youth—that's the objective.]
[So, now the girls are all cultivating the Mystical Palm Technique.]
[Kushina is also working hard on the Mystical Palm Technique.]
[It's a good way to improve the precision of Chakra control.]
[The better the Chakra control, the stronger the power of the Monstrous Strength.]
[At the same time, Kushina has to teach the girls Sealing Jutsu.]
[Once they master these two, they can begin cultivating the New Yin Seal.]
[By combining the pseudo-Jinchuriki status brought by the New Shinobi Sect into it...]
[The essence of the Yin Seal is accumulating Chakra during ordinary times.]
[So why not accumulate it within the New Shinobi Sect?]
[It's a ready-made container.]
[The diamond-shaped pattern that appears on Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade's foreheads can be compared to a container that holds the Chakra accumulated normally.]
[And this container is the Sealing Jutsu.]
[Once the New Yin Seal is mastered, it not only saves the process of accumulating Chakra normally...]
[But it can also absorb Nine-Tailed Chakra with extreme stability.]
[Of course, one's own Chakra can also be accumulated within it.]
[Eternal Youth is actually about using Chakra to maintain the physical body, involving aspects of the Mystical Palm Technique and Sealing Jutsu.]
[The Nine-Tailed's Chakra already carries extremely strong vitality... another ability of the Yin Seal is to maximize the improvement of self-healing capabilities...]
Uzumaki Mito: "Very imaginative. This way, mastering the Yin Seal is only a matter of time."
Uzumaki Mito: "And... with the Nine-Tailed's Chakra as a foundation, the effect will only be better."
Tsunade's breath hitched.
If she also joined Naruto's New Shinobi Sect...
Combining the two... setting aside combat power for a moment, just looking at Eternal Youth, she wouldn't have to worry about what happens after using the Hundred Healings Jutsu... Moreover, the Nine-Tailed's Chakra has powerful vitality.
The Eternal Youth effect brought by the combined Yin Seal would be significantly enhanced.
The surface might look the same, but the internal substance would be different.
After all, the anti-aging capabilities of the Nine-Tailed's vitality-rich Chakra go without saying.
If Tsunade obtained it, her physical body might even slowly regain its youth while being nourished, in addition to resisting aging.
If she could also get Naruto's essence... Senju Tobirama: "There are still many unstable factors in the process. If you all want to cultivate it, you must be prepared to become crippled. After all, you don't have Kushina, who is extremely skilled in Sealing Jutsu, to teach you, nor do you have the help of Black-framed Naruto-kun and the Nine-Tailed."
Senju Tobirama reminded the Ninjas who were watching the black-framed large screen.
Some things cannot be learned just because they are understood.
Just like Wood Release.
One only needs to master the Chakra Nature Transformation of the Water attribute along with that of the Earth attribute.
And then fuse the two types of Chakra.
But... without the Bloodline Limit, even if forced to fuse, it won't be Wood Release, and it might even cause self-injury.
Even knowing this, many female Ninjas still couldn't resist the temptation.
Eternal Youth!
And... 'remodeling' the body.
Of course, regarding body remodeling, mastering the Yin Seal alone isn't enough.
In addition to the Yin Seal, Tsunade possesses Medical Ninjutsu that is in a league of its own in the Ninja World, along with the purest Senju bloodline in existence.
Forced remodeling is possible.
However... that would be the difference between semi-natural and silicone.
[A short while later.]
[Konoha held a meeting.]
[This time, it was different from the public meetings of the past.]
[The old faces of the past were gone.]
[Former Hokage Assistant, Leader of the Root Organization, Danzo Shimura.]
[At this time, the Root Organization was still under surveillance.]
[After the Chunin Exams ended, Hiruzen Sarutobi would handle it personally.]
[The main content of this meeting was, naturally, the upcoming joint Chunin Exams.]
[Of course.]
[There was one more thing.]
[Asuma Sarutobi had recently performed many meritorious deeds.]
[Especially regarding the Konoha Military Police Force and the Root Organization, as well as the investigation into several cases suspected of being 'terrorist attacks' in Konoha.]
[Thus—]
[The position of New Hokage Assistant fell onto Asuma's head.]
[Regarding this, Hiruzen Sarutobi called it a consultation and even asked about the situation of each clan.]
[The result was naturally that no one had any objections.]
[Even the two old fogies, the Hokage Advisors, were quiet.]
[Even if someone had an objection, no one dared to raise it.]
[Raising one would mean lacking the Will of Fire.]
[This meeting directly set the tone for the future.]
[Konoha had become the personal domain of Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Sarutobi Clan.]
[Not only that.]
[What truly made Hiruzen Sarutobi even more confident was the recent emergence of a large number of excellent Ninjas in Konoha.]
[Those Ninjas whose strength had progressed extremely slowly before had experienced a sublimation after deeply comprehending the Will of Fire!]
[Their individual strengths were advancing by leaps and bounds.]
[And every single one of them highly praised him as the Strongest Hokage.]
[The only drawback... was that they all loved telling the truth too much.]
