Chapter 57: The Gathering of Three Ninjas, the Special Characteristics of the Fog of Fate
Kiyoha enjoyed her time with Kurenai Yuhi quite a bit.
Kiyoha discovered that Kurenai Yuhi was genuinely interested in illusion magic.
Through their discussions, the two actually made progress together.
[Collectible trait detected: Illusion Sense]
[Rank D Trait: Illusion Perception]
[Effect: Enhances perception against illusions used in surprise attacks.]
Qingyu looked at the new trait that had suddenly appeared and felt pretty good about it.
At least the possibility of him being ambushed and falling under an illusion has decreased.
The essence of illusion magic is to strike first and catch the opponent off guard.
Kiyoha felt it was hard to say what would happen if Madara Uchiha were caught completely off guard by Kotoamatsukami.
After all, Madara Uchiha, who hated being followed by others his whole life, was betrayed by two people he trusted.
Firstly, he didn't expect that Hashirama Senju's wood clone would confuse him, and then he was stabbed to death by Hashirama Senju. He only survived by using "Izanagi". However, it can also be seen as Madara Uchiha's fake death as a scheme to turn the tables.
Secondly, even after becoming one of the Six Paths, he could still be carried away by Black Zetsu with a single Black Tiger Heart-Piercing Technique.
"That's enough for today, Hong. I'm going home now."
Kiyoyu waved to Kurenai Yuhi.
Today I'm exchanging genjutsu techniques with Kurenai Yuhi, and tomorrow I'll be exchanging medical ninjutsu techniques with Rin Nohara and Shizune.
His schedule was packed.
Goodbye, Qingyu.
Kurenai Yuhi nodded.
When she was with Kiyoyu, Kurenai Yuhi inexplicably felt that time passed quickly, and she even felt a little reluctant to part ways.
After all, it's rare to find such like-minded geniuses.
Moreover, Qingyu is very handsome.
Kurenai Yuhi always felt that Kiyoha perfectly inherited the strengths of the Senju and Uchiha clans.
……
After saying goodbye to Kurenai, Kiyoyu returned home to find only Shizune busy in the kitchen.
She was wearing an apron, holding a soup spoon, and poked her head out of the kitchen with a hint of helplessness on her face.
"Qingyu, the teacher said she wanted to try the new dishes at that izakaya at the street corner tonight, but she hasn't come back yet. I have to watch the pot and can't leave. Could you go and look for her?"
Qingyu placed her schoolbag on the cabinet in the entryway and nodded.
He knew where Tsunade frequented; it was nothing more than those few casinos and izakayas.
At this hour, most people are probably at an izakaya (Japanese pub).
After Qingyu went out, he walked through several streets and pushed open the old wooden door of the izakaya. Sure enough, he saw Tsunade's iconic golden twin tails in the corner.
But she wasn't alone today.
Two men sat across the table, one with white, spiky hair and the other with long, straight black hair.
Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
Qingyu recognized him.
Tsunade was lying on her side with her face resting on her pillow, and a half-empty wine glass was beside her.
Her gaze inadvertently swept across the doorway and she saw Qingyu walking in. A smile immediately appeared on her face, and she waved to him.
"Qingyu, come here, come here."
Qingyu walked over, and Tsunade put her arm around his shoulder, proudly introducing him to Jiraiya:
"This is the younger brother Qingyu that I mentioned to you before. He is intelligent and talented, and he learns things faster than I did at that age."
Jiraiya held his wine cup, his gaze fixed on Kiyoyu with curiosity.
He had heard about Qingyu before; he was a half-Senju and half-Uchiha, born with the Sharingan.
According to Tsunade, he is still learning medical ninjutsu from her, and even Orochimaru, that gloomy guy, is willing to take him under his wing.
For someone who has spent his entire life searching for the "Child of Prophecy," such a special existence would naturally attract his attention.
The "Child of Prophecy" must be somewhat different from others, right?
Jiraiya thought to himself.
Suddenly, I thought of my three disciples from a few years ago.
Having thought of this, Jiraiya stopped thinking about it and took a sip of sake.
Jiraiya then looked up and saw Tsunade with her arm around Kiyoha.
Tsunade pulled Kiyoyu very close, almost half-embracing him, and the smug expression on her face was something he had never seen before.
He suddenly felt a little envious.
He'd known Tsunade for so many years, and let alone hug her, he'd get punched every time he got even a little close.
That legendary pair of 106s has almost become an obsession for him.
"Jiraiya, aren't you afraid Tsunade will get angry again?"
Orochimaru, sitting next to him, noticed Jiraiya's gaze.
As Jiraiya's best friend and close confidant, Orochimaru knew perfectly well what Jiraiya was thinking.
His pale fingers gripped the wine glass, and a mischievous smile played in his golden, vertical pupils.
He didn't understand why Jiraiya always had such lowbrow tastes.
Despite his immense strength and mastery of "immortal arts" that even he couldn't grasp, he was indulging in pointless activities like peeping and visiting brothels.
True strength lies in transcending such physical attachments and pursuing higher truths.
Tsunade followed Orochimaru's gaze to Jiraiya and found that his eyes were fixed on her chest with ill intent. Her brows immediately furrowed.
Her right hand was clenched into a fist, and her knuckles made a faint cracking sound.
"Ahem, Tsunade, I agreed to lend you money last time!"
Jiraiya finished speaking before Tsunade could throw a punch, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead at the same time.
No one understands Tsunade's "monstrous strength" better than him. If that punch really landed, he wouldn't be going home tonight.
Tsunade snorted and slowly loosened her fist.
She patted Qingyu's head, then stretched out her hand towards Jiraiya, palm up.
Jiraiya, with a bitter expression, pulled out his wallet from his pocket, counted out several large bills, and placed them in Tsunade's hand. Tsunade, beaming, stuffed the money into her pocket.
[Collectible trait detected: The Child of Prophecy's Obsession]
[C-Rank Trait: The Obsession of the Prophet]
[Effect: Increases resistance to Tailed Beast Chakra by 50%, and shrouds fate in mystery.]
Qingyu looked at the words that appeared before her eyes, and her heart stirred slightly.
Jiraiya is such a kind old man, he gives out gold coins as soon as you meet him.
Increases resistance to Tailed Beast chakra by 50%. Anyone with this effect is practically born to be a Jinchūriki.
It's important to know that tailed beast chakra is extremely dangerous to ordinary people. Even ninjas with extraordinary talents like Kinkaku and Ginkaku almost died after being swallowed by the Nine-Tails, only managing to survive thanks to their powerful vitality.
Therefore, Kushina's unique chakra even led the Hidden Cloud Village to risk war by secretly infiltrating Konoha in an attempt to abduct her.
They were already outside Konoha's territory, but thankfully Minato Namikaze arrived in time.
It's a bit outrageous, but that's the truth.
Qingyu focused her attention on the effects that followed.
The fog surrounding his fate makes it even more difficult for others who want to peek into it.
There is indeed such a thing as fatalism in the ninja world.
The Great Toad Sage can foresee the future in his dreams, the White Snake Sage can see through fate, and Momoshiki Otsutsuki can directly see through the trajectory of other people's destinies.
Naruto is the chosen one, destined to gain the approval of all the tailed beasts.
Coincidentally, Qingyu didn't want anyone to see her fate clearly either.
