Chapter 61: Chapter 61: Getting Closer to Tsunade

"I have quite a few medicinal herbs in this laboratory. Since we have time, let’s make a few more vials of the Red Healing Potion."

Tsunade considered. "We can distribute them to Nawaki and the others later."

"No problem."

Natsuki nodded.

He was getting a free ride anyway. He didn’t need to provide anything.

Tsunade quickly brought over a pile of herbs.

Natsuki took out a portion.

He stood opposite Tsunade, extracted the essence, then added the Hashirama cells.

As time passed, a vial of Red Healing Potion was successfully produced.

[Congratulations, Host. You have unlocked Nfirea Template Ability 3: Red Healing Potion — Blood of God.]

Although Natsuki had made the Red Healing Potion before, that had been an incomplete version without Hashirama cells.

This was his first successful production.

Natsuki glanced at the notification and continued making more.

They didn’t stop until noon.

"Your speed is actually faster than mine?"

Tsunade counted the vials and found that Natsuki had made two more than her. She looked astonished.

"Probably because I’ve tried many times before."

Natsuki blinked.

In reality, it was because after unlocking the ability, his proficiency was maxed out.

Tsunade didn’t delve deeper. She had Natsuki take the Red Healing Potions to Uzumaki Mito’s residence.

"Sister, what took you so long?"

Nawaki complained. "We’re starving!"

"Sorry. Making the Red Healing Potions took some time."

Tsunade paused. "You two divide these."

"Red Healing Potion? Is it related to the Blue Healing Potion?"

Nawaki asked curiously.

Because the Blue Healing Potion was affordable and effective, practically everyone had one now.

He had taken quite a few himself.

"Its effect is at least five times stronger than the Blue Healing Potion."

Tsunade held up five fingers. "At critical moments, it can save lives."

"Five times? That powerful?"

Nawaki looked surprised, then excited. "Then I need to prepare more!"

"Do you think we have unlimited supply?"

Tsunade said, annoyed. "This is all we have for now!"

"Aren’t you giving any to Natsuki?"

Kushina asked, confused.

"I already took mine earlier. These are all yours."

Natsuki stepped forward, opened a storage scroll, and produced all the Red Healing Potions he and Tsunade had made.

In the end, Nawaki and Kushina each received seven vials.

"Sister, who invented these two healing potions?"

Nawaki asked after storing his share.

"Children shouldn’t ask so many questions."

Tsunade raised her hand and flicked his forehead.

The Red Healing Potion’s effect was too extraordinary. If people discovered Natsuki was the inventor, he would never have peace.

"It’s about time. I’ll go cook."

Natsuki changed the subject.

"I’ll help you."

Tsunade followed him into the kitchen.

They had often cooked together before. They already had a tacit understanding.

The two divided the work and cooperated, quickly preparing a table full of dishes.

"Grandma Mito, have a taste."

Nawaki placed a piece of chicken in Mito’s bowl.

Mito picked up her chopsticks.

After chewing a few times, surprise appeared on her face.

"Natsuki made this?"

Mito evaluated. "Among all the meals I’ve eaten in my life, this ranks in the top three."

"I told you Natsuki’s cooking is exceptionally good!"

Kushina raised her chin proudly.

Those who didn’t know would think she was talking about her own cooking.

Seeing this, Mito couldn’t help but smile.

As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, the choice of marriage partner had to be extremely careful.

Given Natsuki’s background and talent, he had a chance.

The meal ended in a harmonious atmosphere.

"Natsuki."

Tsunade produced a scroll. "This is the ninjutsu scroll for the Spirit Transformation Technique. Memorize the contents first."

S-Rank ninjutsu were extremely precious. With Natsuki’s status, he couldn’t keep the scroll—but memorizing it amounted to the same thing.

"What is the Spirit Transformation Technique?"

Nawaki couldn’t help but ask.

He considered Natsuki his biggest rival. Seeing him learning a new technique, he naturally wanted intel.

"It’s S-Rank."

Tsunade briefly explained the Spirit Transformation Technique’s effect.

"What?"

Nawaki was completely stunned.

"Don’t overthink it. I’m just getting a preliminary understanding. I don’t have the qualifications to train in it yet."

Natsuki knew what he was thinking. He explained.

"Thank goodness."

Nawaki exhaled with relief.

"What do you mean ’thank goodness’?"

Tsunade glared at him. "Natsuki is talented and works harder than you. You should learn from him."

"One day, I will defeat him!"

Nawaki said, unwilling to concede.

"I previously combined Water Release to create a set of kenjutsu. Its foundation is Water Breathing—it can enhance Water Release power. I can teach you."

Natsuki considered. "If you want to learn kenjutsu, I can teach you that later too."

"I’ll learn!"

Nawaki said immediately.

When fighting the rogue ninjas in the Land of Water, he had seen Natsuki use Water Breathing.

He just hadn’t expected this kenjutsu could also enhance Water Release power.

Tsunade was mildly taken aback.

He’s actually willing to teach Nawaki?

For a moment, her gaze toward Natsuki softened considerably.

Their relationship grew closer because of this.

"Natsuki, if there’s anything you want to learn in the future, just come find me."

Tsunade said, returning the favor.

"If you want to learn Second Granduncle’s Water Release, I can teach you everything!"

Nawaki followed up.

"I won’t focus on Water Release for now. I’ll concentrate on Water Release chakra nature transformation training first."

Natsuki smiled.

Ability 4 of his Kamado Tanjiro template required proficient-level Water Release chakra nature transformation to unlock.

Ability 5 required mastering Total Concentration: Constant—and he had been constantly refining his Water Breathing.

"Then I..."

Kushina started to speak but stopped.

Although she also wanted to learn, she could only focus on sealing jutsu right now.

"I’ll teach you later when there’s a suitable ninjutsu."

Natsuki thought of the Marine Rokushiki from One Piece.

The Marine Rokushiki was a taijutsu style suitable for Kushina and Tsunade.

But although he had awakened a Smoker template, it didn’t include the Rokushiki. He could only try his luck later.

"I’ll wait for you!"

Kushina nodded vigorously.

"Let’s go to the courtyard."

Natsuki stood and went outside with Nawaki.

But he didn’t teach him personally—he created a shadow clone to do so.

Because he wanted to test out a bow.

Natsuki extended his hands and projected one.

He then climbed onto the wall.

Clairvoyance!

Natsuki looked far into the distance. The surrounding scenery came into full view.

He roughly estimated that he could see clearly within at least four kilometers.

Natsuki recalled that a normal Hyuga ninja’s Byakugan range was only one kilometer.

However, the problem with Clairvoyance was that it lacked x-ray vision.
