Chapter 91 Guidance, Exchange (Bonus Chapter)
Outside the Hokage's residence.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was not long before he was allowed to enter.
"Chisaku, you've arrived," Hiruzen Sarutobi greeted him with a smile.
"Greetings, Lord Hokage." Hoshino Senju bowed slightly.
"Thank you for your hard work on this mission."
"Everything I do is for the sake of the village."
"Hmm." Hiruzen Sarutobi gazed at Senju with gentle eyes and nodded slightly.
In the battle against Iwagakure, the two most outstanding rising stars, Minato Namikaze, were Jiraiya's disciples, making him his grand-disciple.
Hoshino Senju is Biwako's subordinate and Tsunade's lover.
Aside from the ceasefire with Iwagakure, this was the best news, and it even made Hiruzen Sarutobi feel more gratified.
"Chisaku, congratulations on becoming a full-fledged Jonin."
"Thank you, Hokage-sama. It's all thanks to the village's nurturing."
"Haha, you—"
Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed loudly.
He was very pleased that Qian Shuo was always so respectful and polite whenever he came.
"You've achieved two S-ranks on this frontline mission. Thank you for your hard work," Hiruzen Sarutobi said solemnly.
He then asked, "You know that Jonin can exchange merits for ninjutsu, right?"
"I've heard Tsunade mention it," Hoshino Senju replied.
"Alright. If you need any ninjutsu, you can exchange it at the Ninjutsu Library anytime."
"Yes."
Hoshino Senju nodded in agreement, then stepped forward and handed the scroll in his hand to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Lord Hokage, this is an A-rank ninjutsu I developed—the Rasengan. I intend to submit it to the village."
Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared slightly surprised.
He had noticed the scroll in Qian Shuo's hand earlier and thought it was another suggestion report.
He took the scroll and began to read it carefully.
Xingyuan Qianshuo wrote in great detail, discussing everything from the advantages to the disadvantages, from cultivation methods to practical applications.
Regarding future development ideas, he only briefly mentioned that "it is possible to try incorporating chakra nature transformations".
These kinds of directions are easy to come up with, but extremely difficult to implement.
After reading it, even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but marvel at Chisaku's talent.
More than the village acquiring an A-rank ninjutsu, he was gratified that Chisaku was willing to contribute the technique without reservation.
"Chisaku, on behalf of the village, I accept this ninjutsu," Hiruzen Sarutobi said. "However, the village cannot fail to provide appropriate compensation."
He hesitated for a moment, then continued, "How about we exchange it for three A-rank ninjutsu?"
"Thank you, Hokage."
Xingyuan Qianshuo paused briefly, "But—could we exchange two of the A-rank quotas for B-rank ninjutsu?"
"Oh?" Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then let's have one A-rank and four B-ranks."
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Xingyuan Qianshuo was fairly satisfied with the result and nodded in acceptance.
"You can exchange B-rank ninjutsu at the Ninjutsu Store. As for A-rank ninjutsu, do you have any ideas in mind?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.
"Yes. I wish to exchange for the Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique created by the Hokage."
"Haha, not a bad choice."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was still quite proud of the A-rank ninjutsu he had created in his early years.
"I can teach you this technique now. The basic hand seal sequence is: Chou—Xu—Chen—Zi—Xu—Hai—Si—Yin. The main points to note are—"
As the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely busy with official duties, so the fact that he could personally teach ninjutsu to Hoshigen Chisaku was enough to stir even his heart.
Unfortunately, he had already mastered this technique through the system's rewards, and this application was merely to clarify its origin.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I personally taught someone ninjutsu," Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed after finishing the instruction.
"Thank you for your instruction, Lord Hokage." Hoshino Senju bowed solemnly.
"Hmm." Hiruzen Sarutobi accepted the gratitude without hesitation.
"Chisaku, you mentioned last time that you wanted to become a Jonin instructor—I think we don't have to wait until next year."
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, then continued, "I've already had people look into those three students you mentioned. They're all diligent and excellent students. Staying at school won't allow them to learn much more, so it's better to let them graduate early."
After a moment's thought, Xingyuan Qianshuo replied, "I will follow your arrangements. Thank you for your trust, Hokage-sama."
"With your strength, I naturally have confidence in you. However, if you are going out of the village to carry out a mission, you still need to be cautious. You can ask Tsunade for advice more often," Hiruzen Sarutobi earnestly advised.
"Yes," Xingyuan Qian solemnly replied.
At this point in the conversation, Hiruzen Sarutobi gestured to the side, "Chisaku, have Sarutobi take you to the ninjutsu library to choose a ninjutsu later."
Before Xingyuan Qianshuo could respond, a figure quietly appeared beside him.
"Chisaku-kun, I am 'Ape.' Please follow me."
The young ninja wearing the ape-face mask spoke, his voice steady.
"----OK."
Hoshino Senju agreed and turned to Hiruzen Sarutobi: "Hokage-sama, I'll take my leave now."
"Go."
As he followed the ANBU member out of the Hokage's room, Hoshigen Chisaku secretly wondered about the other person's identity.
Unexpectedly, after taking only a few steps, the other person took off their mask.
A rather familiar face came into view, bearing a striking resemblance to Hiruzen Sarutobi, almost like a younger version of the Third Hokage.
"Chisaku-kun, let me introduce myself. I am Sarutobi Shinnosuke." The other person's tone was mature beyond his years.
"Hello. Is the Hokage your—?" Hoshigen Chisaku had already guessed and understood Hiruzen's intention.
"It is indeed my father," Shinnosuke replied calmly.
"I see. Then we should communicate more in the future. Teacher Biwako has always taken good care of me," Hoshino Sensaku said with a smile.
"Okay, Chisaku-kun."
"Just call me Qian Shuo. By the way, how old are you this year?"
Eighteen years old.
"Then I'm a year older than you."
The two walked and talked.
Hoshino Senju noticed that Shinnosuke's speech was somewhat rigid and even showed signs of imitating the Third Hokage.
However, she has a very good personality and temperament.
—This is Konohamaru's father, Asuma's older brother.
He never made a formal appearance in the original work, and died early in a mission.
The two arrived at the Ninja Art Storage located in the basement of the Hokage Building.
More than a month later, Xingyuan Qianshuo once again opened that thick "Ninjutsu Catalog".
He already had a plan in mind, and quickly selected four B-rank ninjutsu:
Wind Release: Wind Slicer Technique, Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, Wind Release: Hand-held Sword, Illusion: Tree Binding Kill.
He did not choose fire, lightning, or earth-based ninjutsu; this time, he only intended to "demonstrate" his ability to transform wind-style chakra.
The system had already rewarded the first two Wind Release ninjutsu techniques, so this time it can be considered that they have been granted permission to use them openly.
Wind Release: Shuriken, like Wind Release: Vacuum Blade, is a Wind Release ninjutsu used by Shimura Danzo during his battle against Sasuke.
This technique can imbue a rapidly spinning shuriken with wind-style chakra, combining both style and lethality.
Xingyuan Qianshuo chose it in order to further improve the precision of his control over wind attributes, and perhaps he could apply this knowledge to other areas.
As for the "Magic Tree Binding Kill," it is for further honing one's Yin Release power.
He always remembered that he now possessed the Uchiha physique.
Illusion is still a relatively weak link, and this technique can at least make up for it to some extent.
After stimulating the Yang power with the Origin Scroll, Xingyuan Qianshuo naturally wanted to further stimulate the Yin power.
The balance of Yin and Yang may one day in the future lead to the creation of a true "Yin-Yang Escape".
After using up the four B-rank ninjutsu slots he obtained by exchanging Rasengan, he also used up the two S-rank mission exchange opportunities.
He happened to see the Leaf Style: Willow in the swordsmanship category, and without much further filtering, he made the choice directly.
I remember this was a sword technique that Maruboshi Kosuke used. I'm not sure if he got it from the village or created it himself and then handed it over.
This technique combines illusion and swordsmanship. No hand seals are required; illusions can be activated simply by swinging the sword at a specific frequency.
It can confuse the opponent, conceal one's own movements, and restrict the enemy's actions, allowing for a surprise attack from a blind spot to kill the enemy in one blow.
During the last free clinic for hidden injuries, he treated Maruhoshi Kosuke and received the Water Dragon Bullet Technique and a scroll of wilderness survival experience as a reward, both of which are very useful.
Now, exchanging for Konoha Style Willow is like learning all the main skills of this hidden elite Jonin.
After leaving the Ninjutsu Storage, Hoshino Senjutsu bid farewell to the Hokage's eldest son, whom he had just met, and turned back to Konoha Hospital.
