Chapter 62: Chapter 62: On the Brink of Death

"Learning more is always good. What was that technique you said you’re researching?"

Uchiha Xuan nodded lightly, then looked at Tsunade with some surprise. Could she be talking about... the Strength of a Hundred Technique?

As for the Strength of a Hundred Technique, Uchiha Xuan wasn’t particularly interested. After all, he already had the Reversal Technique, though he hadn’t used it yet.

"Hehe, this was actually inspired by your Golden Light Chakra Mode during our first fight. It’s based on the massive amount of Chakra stored in the Yin Seal.

Then, relying on this Chakra, it creates a short-term burst, greatly enhancing my Monstrous Strength. It’s basically a technique for temporary explosive enhancement.

When the time comes, anyone who dares to talk nonsense in front of me, I’ll just punch them one by one. Wahahaha, thinking about it gets me a little excited.

But so far, it’s only a rough concept. It’ll probably take some time to truly realize it. Don’t worry, once I perfect the technique, I’ll teach it to you."

Tsunade casually sat down beside Uchiha Xuan and spoke with a laugh. She gave herself a mental thumbs-up for her wisdom. With this ability to create techniques, who would dare say she wasn’t a true Senju descendant?

"Burst?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Xuan’s mouth twitched. So the butterfly effect was this severe?

It was one thing for the Second Hokage’s parents to change, but how did Tsunade, a Medical Ninja, start veering off course in her technique development too?

"What? You don’t think I’m plagiarizing your technique, do you? My Sett’s Technique is fundamentally different from your Golden Light Chakra Mode.

My burst is entirely based on enhancing the body and taijutsu. You could even say it’s specifically developed for Monstrous Strength. Yours, while more comprehensive, isn’t as good as mine when it comes to applying Monstrous Strength."

Seeing Uchiha Xuan’s strange expression, Tsunade immediately explained.

Although the development of this technique was indeed influenced by Uchiha Xuan, given her relationship with him, could this be called plagiarism? At most, it was just borrowing a little inspiration.

"Sett’s Technique... That’s good. Haven’t you thought about integrating Medical Ninjutsu into your newly developed technique? Like... um... that kind of strong recovery Ninjutsu where you just can’t be killed no matter how much you’re hit?"

Hearing this, Uchiha Xuan’s expression grew even stranger. The words "Sett’s Technique" were just too abstract. Looking at the excited Tsunade, he spoke up.

He was trying to steer Tsunade back on track.

"Can’t be killed no matter how much you’re hit? What nonsense. Why not just kill the opponent directly? Why let others hit me? I’m not some masochist.

Oh~~ kid, you wouldn’t~~ hehe, don’t worry. Being an Uchiha, it’s normal to have some little quirks. I won’t tell anyone."

Tsunade was taken aback for a moment, then immediately curled her lip in disdain. As if realizing something, she grinned mischievously, slung an arm over Uchiha Xuan’s shoulder, and spoke with a rather lewd laugh.

".....It’s fine, it’s good, you can go back to developing your jutsu."

Looking at Tsunade’s leering smile, Uchiha Xuan fell silent. He shouldn’t have said those two extra sentences.

"Tch, you’re so dull. Oh, right, come with me later."

Seeing Uchiha Xuan lower his head again to study Sealing Arts, Tsunade clicked her tongue and spoke softly.

"Where?"

Uchiha Xuan asked without looking up.

"Sakumo-senpai’s house. His wife is pregnant and wants me to check on her condition. Oh, and he’s treating us to a meal."

"Sakumo-senpai? Shouldn’t he still be at the front lines in the Land of Wind?"

Uchiha Xuan was somewhat surprised to hear this.

"He came back a while ago, about half a month ago. The old man sent Orochimaru to the Land of Wind and brought Sakumo-senpai back. As for the reason... you probably know it too.

But, interestingly, our village’s Hokage Advisor also went to the Land of Wind along with him. Apparently, those two aren’t getting along very well at the border right now."

When mentioning Orochimaru, Tsunade spoke with a hint of schadenfreude.

"Tsk, it’s really obvious. But, Sakumo-senpai’s wife... I really haven’t heard much about her."

Uchiha Xuan stroked his chin. Regarding Kakashi’s mother, there really wasn’t any information in Naruto. Although many netizens speculated that Kakashi’s mother was from the Inuzuka clan based on his Summoning Beast being ninja dogs, there was actually no evidence for this.

Who exactly Kakashi’s mother was, Uchiha Xuan suddenly felt curious too.

"Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve seen her either. Sakumo-senpai rarely mentions his wife. It’s fine, we’ll meet her soon."

Hearing this, Tsunade nodded as well. She truly hadn’t seen Hatake Sakumo’s wife either.

...

"Welcome to my humble home, please come in."

At the entrance of the Hatake residence, Hatake Sakumo, dressed in casual clothes, welcomed Uchiha Xuan and Tsunade with a smile.

"Nadeshiko isn’t in good health, so she couldn’t come out to greet you. Please forgive her."

Looking at Uchiha Xuan and Tsunade, Hatake Sakumo spoke softly with apology.

"Sakumo-senpai, don’t be so formal. Nadeshiko? Is that your wife’s name? It’s a very nice name. But, what do you mean by ’not in good health’?"

Seeing the apologetic look on Hatake Sakumo’s face, Tsunade waved her hand and then asked with concern.

"This... I’m not sure how to explain it. Please come inside and take a look."

A flicker of sorrow passed through Hatake Sakumo’s eyes as he immediately stepped aside and spoke to Tsunade.

Entering the house, the entire residence was very simple, with only the most basic furnishings and decorations. Led by Hatake Sakumo, the two walked to the innermost part of the house, where a figure in white kneeling on tatami mats came into their view.

"Welcome to our humble home. I’m deeply sorry I couldn’t personally greet you. It’s truly impolite."

Upon seeing the two, the woman named Nadeshiko immediately stood up and bowed slightly.

"Nadeshiko-neesan, there’s no need for that. Sakumo-senpai said you’re not well, please sit down first."

Looking at Nadeshiko, Tsunade’s eyes lit up and she spoke with a smile.

But beside her...

"You’re going to die soon."

Looking at Nadeshiko, a golden glint flashed in Uchiha Xuan’s eyes as he spoke calmly.

"?????? Brat, watch your words! Ahem, um, Senior Sakumo, sorry about that, Xuan was a bit rude. Xuan, you..."

"But I can cure it."

Uchiha Xuan’s words first stunned Tsunade, who then hurriedly tried to explain to Hatake Sakumo. However, what Uchiha Xuan said next left all three people present momentarily speechless.
