However, Tsunade didn't know until she looked, and when she looked, she was shocked.
"Shizune, what's going on with this kid named Xia Mu? How can he be so powerful as a Genin?"
It's no wonder Tsunade was so surprised. Xia Mu's strength was unbelievable. First, he defeated Orochimaru, then he defeated the One-Tail, and then he displayed great power while supporting the Village's defense line. The name Konoha Demon Blade can be said to be extremely loud.
He has learned Eight Gates, Hatake Swordmanship, and even the Flying Thunder God Technique!.
In addition, he has mastered Chakra Nature Transformation and Shape Transformation, and has created his own powerful Ninjutsu such as Water Release: Water Blade, Water Release: Spiraling Torrential Blast, Earth Release: Soaring Spin, etc., as well as the strange Demon Blade Thousand Blades and so on.
Compared to these, things like one-handed hand seals and inventing the ninja killing card game are child's play.
Shizune said: "I was also very shocked when I saw this information. I specifically asked Kai, Kakashi, Aoba, Raiton, and Genma, and they all confirmed that it was true and highly approved of Xia Mu, saying that they wanted to recommend Xia Mu to become a Jonin."
"Oh? Jonin?"
Tsunade showed a smile 21, "It seems that this Xia Mu is not an ordinary genius. We are short of manpower right now, so why not make him a Jonin!"
After that, Tsunade looked through the list of examinees again, focusing on the examinees who participated in the finals.
"Hmm, these finalists are all good, Shino Aburame, Kato Megumi, Shikamaru Nara, Neji Hyuga, Tenten. Although Sasuke Uchiha lost, his strength is also good, similar to Neji Hyuga, and he was also very active in the Village defense line battle. Xia Mu is promoted to Jonin, and these few are promoted to Chunin... This Kato Megumi, her strength seems to be insufficient, but her Medical Ninjutsu is good, and her surname is Kato..."
As Tsunade spoke, she subconsciously looked at Shizune.
As for the surname Kato, Tsunade naturally couldn't ignore it.
Her lover is Kato Dan, her little follower is called Katou Shizune, and this Kato Megumi might be related to Shizune.
Shizune took the information and looked at Kato Megumi's parents' names, seemingly remembering something: "Tsunade-sama, I might be related to Kato Megumi. According to seniority, she should call me aunt."
As expected, there's a relative? Why not just let Kato Megumi become a Chunin too?
However, her strength really isn't enough. Perhaps as a Medical Ninja, she could receive special treatment?
Tsunade was a bit conflicted. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Shizune, since she's your relative, take some time to go see her. After you see Kato Megumi, come back and tell me. If you say she can be a Chunin, I'll promote her."
Shizune understood that Tsunade was looking out for her and gratefully said, "Thank you, Tsunade-sama, I will go find her."
At the same time, Xia Mu had finally come out of seclusion.
He naturally knew the news of Tsunade's return, but his entire focus was temporarily on the design of the Chakra Battery, so he wasn't concerned about Tsunade's affairs. Besides, as a Genin, there was no point in going to watch. He would see her sooner or later anyway, so there was no need to rush.
And the reason he came out of seclusion this time was because he had achieved results!
It wasn't in vain that he used himself as an experiment under the special laboratory conditions, otherwise, he wouldn't know how long it would take to achieve results.
At this moment, he held a scroll and hurried towards the Ninja Tools shop. Due to Tsunade's return, the Village's patrol missions had decreased, and Tenten wasn't as busy, so she should still be helping out at the shop.
As expected, when Xia Mu arrived, he saw Tenten sitting idly behind the counter, while the Ninjutsu Shop Owner Father-in-law, who had just returned, was arranging new Ninja Tools.
It seemed that Father-in-law had gone to restock.
"Father-in-law, you're back from the Capital City!"
Xia Mu greeted him and winked at Tenten. Tenten immediately guessed something and became incredibly excited.
The Ninjutsu Shop Owner Father-in-law smiled and said, "Xia Mu is here. Come quickly and help arrange some Ninja Tools. This time, I've brought back quite a few from the factory. They're definitely going to sell well. And have you heard? Tsunade-sama is going to be the Fifth Hokage. At that time, there will definitely be a large purchase of Ninja Tools. This month's sales will definitely skyrocket!"
He had no idea where his cheap Father-in-law got the news. Tsunade was just succeeding as Hokage, she wasn't going to war, so why would there be a large purchase of Ninja Tools? It was completely unrelated. Fortunately, Ninja Tools don't expire and won't go bad or even depreciate in the shop, so let the cheap Father-in-law do whatever he wants.
Besides, the cheap Father-in-law has been in business for many years, so his business sense might be very keen, or he might have some insider information.
However, Tenten pulled Xia Mu back into the room at this moment: "Dad, you can be busy yourself. Xia Mu and I have something private to talk about!"
"Huh? You two, when can't you talk privately? Help me arrange these first!"
The Ninjutsu Shop Owner was very helpless. He always felt like he was destined to work hard. Not only did his daughter not help him, but she also didn't let his son-in-law help. Was she trying to work him to death so she could inherit the family business quickly?
Inside the room, Tenten stared at Xia Mu with anticipation.
Xia Mu opened the scroll and summoned five palm-sized squares: "These are the Chakra Batteries. Look, this is the Chakra input terminal. You input Chakra here. Then this is the interface, which consists of two Chakra metal mechanisms as thick as toothpicks. They are usually tied to your arm, and when you need to use them, you open the mechanism, and the two metal pieces as thick as toothpicks will pierce into your body, and the stored Chakra will be transmitted into your body for you to use freely.
In addition, look at these four symbols. They will display the Chakra storage amount. If all four symbols are lit up, it means the Chakra is full. I have set up four seals inside. When four seals are full, it's about half of my Chakra. Currently, the capacity can only reach this level. With further research into 523, the capacity should be increased."
"That's more than enough! Your Chakra is a lot. Half of it is more than mine!"
Tenten was overjoyed and immediately sent Chakra towards the input terminal. She could clearly feel the Chakra entering the battery and then being trapped in the seal, no longer dissipating. However, after a while, Tenten still couldn't store enough for one symbol, and she was instantly shocked by Xia Mu's Chakra amount.
How much Chakra did this boyfriend of hers have!
Xia Mu continued, "Tenten, remember, you can only use your own Chakra Battery. You cannot use someone else's Chakra Battery. Different Chakras will repel each other, and using someone else's Chakra Battery rashly might be dangerous."
Tenten nodded, indicating she had noted it down.
Seeing that she couldn't fully charge the battery for now, she chose to pause.
She tied the battery to her arm, and after opening the mechanism, she immediately felt two metal pieces pierce into her arm, and one of the seals inside the battery also seemed to open. The stored Chakra flowed into her body along the metal, allowing her to control it freely.
Tenten was as happy as a child: "Xia Mu! You're amazing! I won't be short on Chakra anymore!"
Xia Mu wasn't very satisfied: "I still need to modify it. Using bandages to tie it is too troublesome. How about I set up a small device to make it automatically clip onto the arm...".
