Chapter 63 Qingyu's Birthday, Tsunade's Gift
Afterwards, Tsunade told Kiyoha that she would treat everyone at the barbecue restaurant and that she would also ask Kiyoha to invite her classmates over.
"it is good."
Qingyu was surprised; he thought he would have to pay for it himself. It seems that Tsunade is still very considerate at crucial moments.
Then Qingyu went out to call her classmate.
Qingyu didn't plan to invite too many people, just a group of close friends would be enough.
Soon, it was evening.
Nohara Rin was the first to walk up to Kiyoha, holding a light green medical kit in her hands.
"Happy birthday, Qingyu. I sewed this myself. It has several layers inside, so I can put bandages and ration pills in it."
Qingyu took the medical kit and noticed the fine, neat stitches; it was clear that a lot of work had been done.
Nohara Rin lowered her head somewhat embarrassed, and Kiyoyu patted her shoulder and thanked her.
Kurenai stood behind Rin Nohara and waited for Rin to move aside before stepping forward.
She held a kunai in her hand, its blade gleaming coldly, with a small "red" character engraved on the handle.
"Qingyu, this kunai was chosen for me by my father; it's made of good steel."
She tried to keep her tone calm, but nervousness lingered in her ruby-like eyes.
Qingyu turned the kunai over and looked at it, suddenly feeling a bit like a grand funeral.
With Kurenai Yuhi like this, won't Shinku-senpai be heartbroken?
Kiyoyu hoped that Yuhi Shinku wouldn't mistake her for a blond guy who had kidnapped her daughter, and at the same time, she sincerely thanked her.
Kakashi didn't say anything more and simply pulled a scroll from his pocket.
"My father asked me to give this to you. It's a collection of his insights on swordsmanship that should be helpful to those who use knives."
Kiyoyu accepted the scroll with both hands, knowing that it was Hatake Sakumo's personal notebook, and that it was more valuable than any other gift.
This must be one way for Sakumo Hatake to express his gratitude.
Matt Kai was the last to squeeze in, waving a pair of nunchucks.
"How can physical training be complete without this? Let's ignite our youth!"
The nunchucks whistled through the air.
Jingyin waited until everyone had finished giving their gifts before coming over, carrying a framed painting in her hand.
The painting depicts a landscape sketch of several cultural heritage sites near Konoha Village.
Happy birthday, Qingyu.
Qingyu took the painting and looked at it for a while. She remembered that according to the official book, Shizune's hobby was cultural heritage, and when Qingyu spent time with her, she found that this was indeed the case.
So Qingyu said this was the most artistic gift she had received today. Jingyin was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.
The three ninjas gathered at the back of the living room by the window, watching the group of children talking in front of them.
"White Tooth's son is indeed outstanding; he has such an aura at such a young age."
Jiraiya sighed, his gaze falling on Kakashi before shifting to Kiyoha.
"However, Tsunade's younger brother seems to have even more outstanding talent. He can make White Fang's son willingly serve as his sparring partner. This kid is not simple."
"Orochimaru, if you ask me, you should take on a disciple and pass on your ninja way."
Jiraiya turned to look at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.
"Hehe, I think Qingyu is quite nice."
Jiraiya paused for a moment, glancing at Orochimaru and then at Tsunade.
"Wouldn't Tsunade teach Kiyoha?"
Orochimaru and Tsunade both taught the same disciple?
It doesn't seem to work either.
Jiraiya imagined the scene: a ninja who possessed both Tsunade's violence and Orochimaru's cold and cautious demeanor.
Suddenly I felt that Qingyu, this little brat, was probably going to turn into a monster in the future.
Once the children had quieted down a bit, Jiraiya leaned closer to Tsunade and asked in a low voice:
"Did you teach Qingyu the 'Yin Seal'?"
"Not yet, but we've already taught them 'super strength'."
Tsunade took a sip of her drink.
Jiraiya stared at Tsunade's exquisite and flawless face for a long time.
As members of the Legendary Sannin, they are all quite old, but Tsunade's face still looks like that of a young woman in her early eighteens, with smooth, firm skin and no fine lines around her eyes.
These are all thanks to the "Yin Seal".
"The Yin Seal is really good. You can't tell at all that Tsunade is almost a middle-aged old woman."
Tsunade's temples throbbed as she listened to Jiraiya's utterly tactless words.
The fist hardened!
Jiraiya realized what was happening and quickly pulled a scroll from his pocket, presenting it with both hands.
"This is my birthday present for Qingyu. I just finished writing it and haven't had time to bind it yet. Take a look at the contents first before you decide whether you want to hit me."
Tsunade took the scroll and unfolded it. It was filled with information analysis techniques and advanced applications of summoning jutsu that Jiraiya had collected over the years.
Her fist slowly loosened.
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
Orochimaru took out two envelopes from his sleeve, handed one thin one to Tsunade, and placed the thick one on top of Qingyu's pile of gifts.
Tsunade opened the envelope, and inside was a silver note for 200,000 taels, along with several pages of paper recording Orochimaru's research insights in the field of biomedicine—all of which were precious materials that could not be bought on the market.
"Let Qingyu take better care of his body. He's training a lot right now, and if he doesn't get enough nutrition, it will affect his development."
Orochimaru paused, his expression somewhat subtle.
"Tsunade, you're not going to cut Kiyoha's food rations, are you?"
He knew Tsunade's financial situation very well; this woman was capable of anything when she was short of money.
"I give Qingyu milk every day."
Tsunade stuffed the silver notes into her pocket, beaming with joy.
"Hehe."
Orochimaru smiled, raised his wine glass, and said:
"Perhaps Kiyoyu will follow in my footsteps and become an exceptionally skilled ninja?"
Tsunade nodded, saying that she also felt that Kiyoyu resembled her great-grandfather, Tobirama Senju.
Second Grandfather, on the other hand, mastered a large number of ninjutsu and even created many forbidden techniques.
Qingyu already knows quite a few ninjutsu at such a young age, and perhaps he will create his own techniques in the future.
After Qingyu's dinner party, on his way home, he suddenly discovered a new trait.
The item is titled "[Collectible trait detected: Visual Observation]".
[Tier D Trait: Insightful Observation]
[Effect: Increases insight by 30%.]
Qingyu was puzzled, only to find that her normal eyesight had suddenly improved considerably.
Just as he was wondering who had dropped it, he suddenly saw Jiraiya hurrying away from the direction of the bathhouse.
Behind them was an old woman who was cursing and swearing.
Qingyu: "..."
back home.
Just as Qingyu was about to rest, Tsunade came to find him.
Tsunade changed into a loose nightgown, revealing her fair shoulders, which trembled noticeably as she moved.
Qingyu glanced at it and vaguely sensed that there was something interesting about it.
Then Tsunade said she was there to give Qingyu a birthday present, and what she gave him was a peace charm that she had sewn herself.
The simple amulet, made of rare fabric, had slightly clumsy stitching, showing that Tsunade wasn't very good at it.
Tsunade must have put a lot of effort into sewing this amulet, because Qingyu had never seen Tsunade use a needle and thread before.
"Happy birthday."
Tsunade placed the amulet into Kiyoyu's hand.
"It's nothing valuable, just something sewn up casually."
Qingyu looked down at the peace charm in her palm and solemnly tied it to the strap of her ninja tool pouch at her waist.
"I will always carry it with me."
Watching his actions, Tsunade suddenly reached out and pulled Kiyoyu over for a hug.
Her body heat wafted through the thin nightgown, carrying the fresh scent of her bath.
Qingyu smelled that familiar herbal scent, along with a faint aroma of sake.
"You were so tiny when we adopted you, we were afraid you'd fall if we held you in our arms."
Tsunade rested her chin on Kiyoyu's head, her voice much softer than usual.
"You've grown so tall now."
Qingyu stepped out of Tsunade's embrace and looked up at her.
"Tsunade-neechan, I plan to graduate early this month."
Tsunade was slightly taken aback, then laughed.
"I knew you'd say that. Go ahead, whatever you choose, I'll support you."
She reached out and ruffled Qingyu's hair, then let go, dragging the hem of her nightgown as she turned and went back to her room.
Qingyu stood there, the scent of Tsunade still lingering on his nose.
After thinking about it, Qingyu decided to continue cultivating "superhuman strength".
He felt that he would be able to completely master the "super strength" in the next two days.
