Chương 82: Chapter 82: Hormones at Work
Extra Chapter~
Early morning.
On the tatami mat.
Tsunade woke up.
Rubbing her sleepy eyes.
She looked down at the certain someone nestled unceremoniously in her arms.
Grabbing the mischievous hand that wouldn't stay still, she couldn't help but roll her eyes.
In a soft yet exasperated tone, she muttered, "You brat, holding me all night wasn't enough? Show some restraint."
Yet a faint blush spread across her cheeks.
From the very start, she hadn't felt entirely comfortable.
But Kiyoshi's warm embrace made her feel immensely safe and comforted.
She even found herself not wanting to leave, secretly wishing that the night would last just a bit longer.
Especially, given that strange experience in her dream.
It dawned on Tsunade then, she was no exception to desires and emotions; she was, after all, a woman too.
"Good morning, Tsunade-nee."
The mischievous hand retreated.
Kiyoshi, his head still buried in her warmth, murmured, "It's true—only Tsunade-nee's warm and open embrace can give me peace."
"You little pervert."
Tsunade sighed, a little helpless.
She steadied herself and spoke in a more serious tone.
"Kiyoshi, now that you're in adolescence, it's normal for you to feel curious about the opposite sex. You're only drawn to me because of your hormones."
"Just remember, I'm not only your teacher, but I'm much older than you—basically an old lady at this point."
At that moment, a flicker of sadness crossed her eyes.
Inwardly, she couldn't help feeling a touch of bitterness and regret.
Having never experienced love herself, yet because of Kiyoshi, she had experienced a taste of it in her dream.
And, fatefully, at the wrong age, encountering someone who was far too perfect.
While she wasn't exactly head over heels in undying love with him, Tsunade had to admit, she didn't dislike his closeness.
In fact, she wondered if years of bottling up her emotions had left a part of her yearning for just a bit of release, a little madness.
Yesterday, she had uncharacteristically not chased this impertinent kid away.
And that shameful dream served as undeniable proof.
Was it simply the recoil from suppressing her feelings too harshly?
"Don't say that, Tsunade-nee, you're not old at all."
Kiyoshi looked at Tsunade's beautiful face.
Even her skin looked like that of an eighteen year old girl, showing no signs of aging.
He smiled, "And if no one else knows your abilities, I certainly do."
"With your medical ninjutsu skills and the Yin Seal, you could preserve your youth indefinitely."
"If you wanted, you could extend your life significantly. Maybe a thousand years is pushing it, but living a hundred or two hundred years would be no problem."
Talk of eternal life might sound like fantasy now.
But he wasn't wrong.
Tsunade, right now could already maintain her youthful appearance with ease and if she truly wanted, she could likely exceed normal human life expectancy with a little extra time and effort.
"And, Tsunade-nee, what kind of beautiful dream did you have last night?"
Kiyoshi's gaze held a hint of laughter as he gently poked the corner of her mouth, which still glistened slightly.
"You were even drooling."
"Last night?"
A jolt ran through her.
Recalling that absurd, unspeakable dream, Tsunade, despite her extensive medical experience and maturity, felt her face flush bright red, as heat rose in waves.
"You brat, get out of here."
Before Tsunade could throw a punch, Kiyoshi had already turned into a blur.
Disappearing from the room using his newly mastered Flying Thunder God Jutsu.
"Great."
Tsunade's face shifted through a mix of expressions.
Finally, she sighed deeply.
Covering her face, she muttered, "How shameful!"
The odd reaction of her own body which Kiyoshi had clearly noticed long ago.
Though he teased her, he still respected her dignity and spared her from unwanted embarrassment.
"Thanks to this, I'll probably never be able to shake off that brat again."
However, Kiyoshi's words had taken root deep within her heart.
Everlasting youth—technically, she had already achieved that.
As for age? Immortality might be a stretch, but surpassing a typical human lifespan…
For her, it didn't seem… all that impossible.
"No, no!!"
"I can't let that brat get under my skin."
"I'm his teacher, after all! That brat with those impure thoughts!"
...
Meanwhile, in the next room, Kiyoshi's figure appeared.
"Tsk tsk, who would've thought that a woman like Tsunade-nee could be so affected by a dream." Remembering Tsunade's reaction, Kiyoshi smirked.
Last night, Tsunade had most likely had some pleasant dream.
Even her long-suppressed body had shown a strong response.
Looking at the wood clones that had just about finished learning those sealing techniques, Kiyoshi took a deep breath, and reclaimed each one.
"Ha!" A surge of experience and memories poured in.
Had it not been for Kiyoshi's restful night, having fully recovered from the fatigue caused by using multiple wood clones to train with the Flying Thunder God Jutsu, he'd likely be exhausted right now.
This was more than just practicing a single jutsu together.
They had been working on multiple distinct, high level sealing techniques.
Some were even S-rank.
"It seems that as I age, my mental strength is only getting stronger."
Standing silently with eyes closed, he processed the influx of information.
Relaxing his mind a bit, Kiyoshi smiled faintly, "If this were before, I'd be exhausted on the spot."
"And with the Wood-Wood Fruit combined with the Senju lineage's perfected Yang Release, plus the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan's flawless Yin Release."
His eyes sparkled.
Gazing out at the rising sun through the window, he clenched his right fist tightly.
"In a few years, when I fully master the powers of Yin and Yang, I might not even need the chakras of Indra or Asura to awaken the Rinnegan."
In his view, the Rinnegan's awakening traditionally required the chakras of both Indra and Asura.
But ultimately, it was simply the combination of the Sage's Yin eye and Yang body.
If he could fully control and empower both abilities, the fusion of both could naturally bring about an incredible transformation.
Granting him the legendary Rinnegan of the Sage of Six Paths.
And Kiyoshi surmised, this transformation would involve more than just a boost in his eye power.
It might signify a total, unprecedented metamorphosis.
A far cry from merely transplanting someone else's Rinnegan.

Chương 83: Chapter 83: Soul Escape
Time—
It always seems to pass quickly, almost without noticing.
In the morning, Kiyoshi had intended to train, but Shizune and Karin dragged him around to the famous scenic spots, touring each one together.
As for Tsunade, she acted as though nothing unusual had happened yesterday.
She was her usual self.
Laughing and chatting with the three of them.
Before they knew it, they'd finished lunch.
And it was already afternoon.
Tsunade then led Shizune and Karin.
They went out into the streets to find "test subjects" for Karin's medical practice.
Naturally, Kiyoshi didn't go along.
He returned to his room.
Sitting cross-legged, his form poised in focus.
In his hands was a scroll containing instructions on the S-Rank Forbidden Jutsu: Spirit Transformation Jutsu.
He read through it carefully.
The Spirit Transformation Jutsu!
An S-rank soul ninjutsu allowing one's soul to leave the body.
It allows the caster to turn their soul into a living spirit, capable of traversing any distance to kill enemies, or even possess their bodies or enter their mental space.
With this jutsu, one can separate their spirit from the body, becoming a soul entity that can infiltrate and destroy the enemy's mind from within.
But the spirit retains the caster's consciousness, which implies far more uses than just possession and killing.
Due to the technique's mysterious connection to the soul realm, it couldn't be practiced with a Wood Clone, unlike the Flying Thunder God Jutsu that he'd practiced the evening before by sharing the experience with a Wood Clone.
This time, Kiyoshi simply summoned a single Wood Clone.
Its task was to guard his body and ensure his safety.
With his hands, he made seals at a steady pace.
Concentrating, he gathered his chakra.
Following the method of the Spirit Transformation Jutsu, he began to attempt the jutsu.
He failed immediately, his body showed no changes at all.
He didn't succeed in letting his consciousness leave his body.
The second attempt...
The third...
More and more attempts failed in succession.
Yet Kiyoshi was undeterred.
Instead, he kept reflecting, analyzing his own shortcomings and errors.
In less than half an hour, a strange ripple spread through his body.
A transparent spirit form separated from him.
"So, this is the state of an out of body soul?" Kiyoshi, seeing his soul successfully detached, marveled at his own form.
He looked down at his still body, seated cross-legged with eyes closed, unmoving.
"Make sure to protect my body well."
Sensing the positions of Tsunade and the others, he gave a quick instruction to his Wood Clone.
Then Kiyoshi's spirit form passed through the walls and vanished from the room.
At that moment, on the west side of the town.
Inside a nondescript, worn-down house—
An elderly woman lay there, looking frail.
Shizune, as Karin's mentor, was guiding her through a thorough check of the woman's condition.
Tsunade, their teacher, sat off to the side with her arms crossed, watching calmly.
She had no intention of treating the patient herself.
"Tsunade-nee."
In an instant, Tsunade's senses tingled, her skin prickling.
The next moment, her mind blurred.
Suddenly, she was pulled into her mental space, where she found herself embraced by Kiyoshi.
"Kiyoshi?"
Tsunade froze.
Surprised, she looked at him in shock.
She glanced around, realizing what had happened, her face showing slight disbelief. "This… is the Spirit Transformation Jutsu?"
"Heh... Just learned it." Kiyoshi, noticing how strange it felt to hold Tsunade in his spirit form, found the sensation surprisingly pleasant.
"No respect at all."
Tsunade's face flushed faintly.
Pushing away Kiyoshi's slightly unruly hands, she looked at him, exasperated. "You… "Just how many jutsu did you get from Danzo?"
Most people, even in a lifetime, would be fortunate to master one or two forbidden jutsus.
This brat… really made people envious.
The jutsus he'd mastered were all notoriously difficult, even needing special talent and insight, yet for him, they seemed effortless, like child's play.
"Not many, I just cleared out Root's entire collection, that's all."
Kiyoshi shrugged casually.
"You sure have some nerve. Now get out."
Tsunade shot Kiyoshi an annoyed look, trying to send him away.
Having him enter her mental space made her feel strange.
It was as though every part of her had been laid bare to him, with no secrets left unexposed.
"Finally getting to—hmm?"
Just as Kiyoshi was about to protest, he felt a sensation, turning his gaze toward the outskirts of the town.
About several dozen miles away, he sensed a significant chakra presence.
The direction pointed toward the Land of Hot Water.
And the aura… seemed even stronger than Tsunade's.
"Is it the Akatsuki?"
Surprised for a moment, Kiyoshi decided not to pay it any mind. "Doesn't matter, as long as they don't bother me."
If the Akatsuki dared to cause trouble, he'd have no qualms about bringing their downfall ahead of schedule.
"What's wrong?"
Tsunade asked, seeing Kiyoshi's distant look.
"It's nothing, just a strong passerby," Kiyoshi responded, releasing his grip on Tsunade's mindscape and moving on.
He flew in another direction, searching for a target with a weak chakra signature, before he entered that person's body directly.
Controlling them with ease.
His host was a young man, about twenty, wearing a forehead protector from Yugakure.
Judging from his chakra, he was likely a mid-level ninja from the village.
Whoosh!
Kiyoshi controlled the ninja's body, making him punch, kick, jump.
Soon, he had mastered this body's movements, controlling it smoothly as if it were his own.
Commanding the young ninja, Kiyoshi dashed across rooftops until he reached the outskirts of the town.
"Hmm, it's not my own body, even under my control, chakra manipulation feels a bit clumsy. I still have to make hand seals to perform basic ninjutsu."
"His chakra affinity is Fire? Well, that's no issue."
Kiyoshi manipulated the body, testing its current state. "My spirit form carries my chakra, so I can still use all elemental jutsu and exert part of my own strength."
His eyes opened—
Directly revealing the Sharingan.
In the next instant, it spun into a complex pattern.
"Just as I thought, I can even use Wood Release and the Sharingan."
Kiyoshi wasn't surprised.
After all, in the original anime, Pain had used the power of the Rinnegan to perform something similar.
He'd distributed the chakra of the Akatsuki members into living human sacrifices, converting them into copies with nearly equivalent strength.
These transfer clones even retained the original user's Kekkei Genkai, making them nearly indistinguishable from the real deal.
And his own spirit form, equipped with his chakra, was, to some extent, like that ability of Pain's Outer Path.
Thus, it was no surprise he could use his own Kekkei Genkai while possessing another body with the Spirit Transformation Jutsu.
Though perhaps, this might vary based on the skill of the caster.
Another person using the Spirit Transformation Jutsu might not reach this level of control.
"Still, this is quite the bonus—it'll save a lot of trouble."
Kiyoshi's eyes lit up with a slight smile. "In the future, it'll be much easier to extract the other half of the Nine-Tails from Reaper."
He could even control others.
Using this technique to exploit loopholes, he could perform forbidden jutsu that normally required the user's life as a sacrifice.
For example… the Reanimation Jutsu of Sunagakure that could bring the dead back to life!.
"Let's give it a try."
Without hesitation—
He made a single-handed hand seal.
Using precise chakra control—
He even made Yugakure ninja's body perform the hand seal with one hand.
Having just learned the Spirit Transformation Jutsu, Kiyoshi's interest was at its peak.
With his ample chakra supply, he released jutsu one after another.
"Fire Style: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
"Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!"
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!"
Boom! Boom!
