Chapter 50 Hiruzen Sarutobi: This boy has quite the bearing of me.
Qingyu paused for a moment while wiping her face.
A surge of heat unexpectedly welled up from deep within my body.
The meridian system was expanding at a speed that he could clearly perceive.
He could feel his chakra level rapidly increasing.
His chakra reserves, which were already far beyond those of his peers, jumped another level at this moment.
My heartbeat is steady and strong; with each contraction, blood is pumped throughout my body, and I can feel the pulse throbbing in my fingertips.
With each breath, the lungs expand more smoothly than before.
Qingyu estimated that he might already have a chakra level of that.
He already had the bloodlines of both the Senju and Uchiha clans, and now he had added the purity of the Senju clan. Although the balance between the two bloodlines was slightly tilted to one side, there was no rejection reaction.
On the contrary, the enhancement of the Senju bloodline is like adding a thicker base to his body, giving the Yin Release power brought by the Uchiha bloodline a more stable platform.
Step on your right foot with your left, and you'll be sent flying into the sky.
Besides the significant increase in chakra reserves, physical recovery, and stamina, Qingyu also sensed another change.
His Sharingan was faintly burning.
Shaking his head, Qingyu lowered his waist, concentrated his chakra in his right fist, and unleashed it the moment he threw the punch.
The moment the fist slammed into the wooden stake, a sound more muffled than any before echoed through the yard.
A fist-sized dent was hammered into the center of the wooden stake, with cracks extending outwards from the center.
Qingyu withdrew his fist, looked at the deep pit, and then at the back of his hand.
Tsunade's eyelid twitched as she watched from behind.
The power of that punch was much stronger than she had expected.
Did this kid suddenly become enlightened or something?
When it was time to eat, Qingyu washed the sawdust off her hands and face and sat down at the table.
Shizune went to help out at Konoha Hospital today, so only he and Tsunade were at home.
Tsunade leaned over the table and placed the heavy, somewhat vulgar, bowl on the surface.
With her right hand, she poked at the rice in her bowl with chopsticks, while her left elbow rested on the table, her palm supporting her chin. Her brown-gold eyes scanned Qingyu across the table of dishes.
"How did you cultivate so quickly?"
Qingyu placed a piece of meat into the bowl and answered without changing her expression:
"I don't know either, it just happened like this while I was practicing."
Tsunade stared at him for a few seconds and, realizing that the brat wasn't just going through the motions, could only sigh.
She could only attribute it to Qingyu's unique talent.
The bloodlines of the Senju and Uchiha clans blended perfectly in him, each taking the best of the two, creating a freak with more potential than either clan.
Thinking that although the Senju clan had disbanded, there were still successors, Tsunade suddenly felt much better today.
She used her chopsticks to pick up the largest piece of braised pork from the plate and put it into Qingyu's bowl.
"Eat more. Training your superhuman strength takes a lot of energy, and your bones won't be able to take it if you don't gain weight."
Qingyu looked down at the glistening braised pork in the bowl, then looked up at Tsunade.
Tsunade continued poking at the rice in her bowl as if nothing had happened, as if the previous poke was just a casual gesture.
Qingyu smiled.
Tsunade really cares about him.
Qingyu didn't know how long her filial piety would last, or whether it would change.
……
Ninja Academy.
Before we knew it, another new semester was about to end.
Qingyu and Kakashi were only a few meters apart, each holding their own weapon.
Kakashi drew the short sword from his back, and Kiyoyu drew the samurai sword.
"Qingyu, this time I specially learned a new water-style ninjutsu from my father."
Kakashi's tone was unusually confident, it seemed that this new ninjutsu really gave him a lot of confidence.
"What kind of ninjutsu?"
Qingyu asked casually.
You'll find out when the time comes.
Kakashi twirled his short sword.
Looking at Kakashi's confident demeanor, Qingyu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.
Since the second month of school, Kakashi has never beaten him.
After losing first place, Kakashi was not discouraged. Instead, he became more determined and would challenge him every now and then with newly learned ninjutsu or sword techniques.
Although she lost every time, each time she saw something new for Qingyu.
This is also why Qingyu has always been willing to spar with Kakashi.
Kakashi is such a fertile field of leeks (a metaphor for someone who is easily exploited), besides his special abilities, copying ninjutsu is also an essential part of his training.
The two formed opposing hand seals and each took a few steps back to create distance.
Kakashi was the first to start forming hand seals, his fingers almost leaving afterimages as he completed one seal after another in a short period of time.
Qingyu watched his hand seal movements, and the more she looked at them, the more familiar they seemed.
It should be noted that there are very few ninjutsu techniques that can have so many hand seals.
Qingyu had already guessed what kind of ninjutsu it was.
Just a second before Kakashi was about to complete the last hand seal, Qingyu also moved.
His hands also began to form hand seals, but unlike Kakashi, he only formed four seals.
As the four handprints were placed, a thick layer of moisture began to fill the air.
Two streams of water rose up from behind the two people at the same time, swirling in the air and condensing into the shape of a dragon.
Two water dragons formed simultaneously in the air, their scales and claws flying, water shimmering, and then roared as they pounced on each other.
boom.
The two water jets collided violently in mid-air, causing the water to explode like a torrential downpour.
The onlookers took a few steps back, and the splashing water mist refracted a faint rainbow in the sunlight.
Kakashi stood there, eyes wide, his face filled with disbelief.
"How come you know this technique?"
He practiced with his father for a long time in order to learn this "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique" and that's how he achieved what he has today.
He had intended to surprise Qingyu with this technique, but Qingyu not only used the same technique, but also formed forty fewer hand seals than him.
"How did you form the hand seals so quickly with that water dragon bullet?"
Hearing Kakashi's question, Qingyu smiled slightly.
Only honest people like Kakashi and Kisame Hoshigaki would know how to form hand seals one by one.
Qingyu casually flicked the water droplets off the knife and explained in a calm tone:
"I learned the simplified version of the Second Hokage's technique. Tobirama-sama felt that forty-four hand seals were too wasteful of time, so he optimized the technique and simplified it to four hand seals."
Kakashi remained silent.
He knew that the Second Hokage was a recognized master of Water Release techniques. Simplifying techniques would be a genius thing for others, but it was just a matter of course for Tobirama Senju.
Kakashi just didn't expect that Kiyoha would also know this technique.
The crowd around the training ground gasped in surprise.
"Water Dragon Bullet? Isn't that a B-rank ninjutsu? When did those two learn it?"
"Qingyu only formed four hand seals... Did I miscount, or did he really form four?"
……
In the Hokage's office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was also closely watching the battle.
"This young man has quite the heroic bearing of my younger days."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed.
His learning ability is exactly the same as it was when he was a teenager.
