After hearing the story, Xia Mu didn't want to stay longer, so as not to disturb Team Seven's training.
So he said goodbye.
"Xia Mu, wait!"
Sasuke suddenly spoke, "I have something to show you, watch it before you leave!"
Saying that, he faced a large rock. As he raised his hand, a lightning spear condensed. With a wave of his hand forward, the lightning spear immediately struck the large rock.
"Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear!"
With a loud bang, the large rock was instantly shattered!
Naruto and Sakura were stunned; they clearly had just learned that Sasuke had this move.
Even Tenten was startled, but fortunately, she often chatted about various things with Xia Mu, so she knew Sasuke was creating new moves and wasn't too surprised.
Xia Mu clapped: "Beautiful! It seems your new move is created!"
Sasuke nodded: "I've only created one, I still need more powerful moves.
Xia Mu, just wait and see, I will catch up to you!"
"Alright, I'll be waiting for you to challenge me!"
Xia Mu was in a rare good mood, waved goodbye, and then pulled Tenten away.
Naruto, however, widened his eyes and exclaimed: "Sasuke! When did you learn such a strong move? Why didn't I know, believe it!"
Sasuke chuckled: "Didn't you also master Rasengan?
Everyone is growing, don't be so noisy.
Besides, in my opinion, your Rasengan isn't good enough. Did you forget how powerful Xia Mu's Vortex Boiling Bullet was?"
Naruto instinctively thought of the scene where Xia Mu threw the spiral water ball.
A small water ball actually blasted a powerful tailed beasts back, it definitely created psychological trauma, which shows how immense the power of the Vortex Boiling Bullet is.
When will he be able to master a move like that?
He looked at Kakashi: "Kakashi-sensei, is that move of Xia Mu's also Rasengan?"
Kakashi nodded: "Yes.
He's very smart, he probably researched the Fourth Hokage's abilities while making cards, understood some knowledge about Rasengan, and then mastered it himself.
Furthermore, he even fused the Water Release Chakra nature with Rasengan, creating a super powerful Ninjutsu like Vortex Boiling Bullet.
I estimate that Vortex Boiling Bullet should have reached S-Rank, calling it a forbidden jutsu wouldn't be an exaggeration."
S-Rank! Forbidden Jutsu!
The three gasped.
Indeed, Xia Mu is truly amazing!
Naruto immediately said: "Kakashi-sensei, I want to try creating new moves too!"
Sasuke immediately sneered: "You? Do you think creating new moves is simple?
My Chidori Sharp Spear only barely took shape after hard thinking and practice, and it still needs improvement. Are you also fantasizing about creating new moves?
Do you think it's like eating ramen?"
Naruto retorted: "How would you know if you can't do something without trying?"
Here we go again! It's that line again!
He always says how would you know without trying, but some things you know without trying!
Right now, Naruto is still unable to control the Nine-Tails' power and is heavily influenced by the Nine-Tails' Chakra. Let alone creating new moves, he has trouble even controlling his own Chakra.
It's clear that Naruto is not yet at the stage where he can create his own moves; he still needs improvement in various aspects.
Anyway, Kakashi would definitely not agree.
Meanwhile, as soon as Xia Mu and Tenten returned home, the members of Team Nine came looking for them.
"What's wrong?"
Xia Mu was very confused; he had always been left to his own devices, and usually, if there was something, only Yamashiro Aoba would come to find him. This was the first time the whole team had come, so he didn't know what big deal had happened.
Yamashiro Rinne said anxiously: "Boss, Aunt Shizune contacted Aoba-nii and said she wants to see Megumi!"
Aunt Shizune? Oh, she's Kato Megumi's aunt, not your, Yamashiro Rinne's, aunt!
But Xia Mu wasn't in a position to criticize Yamashiro Rinne, after all, he himself had been shamelessly calling the Ninjutsu Shop Owner Father-in-law for several years. What's wrong with Rinne calling Shizune 'Aunt'?
"Then just go see her, what's the big deal?" Xia Mu looked at the three of them strangely.
Shizune isn't a demon, what's wrong with going to see her, why are you so nervous?
Kato Megumi quickly said: "Boss, have you forgotten the advice you gave me after our Aoba Team was formed?
You advised me to learn Medical Ninjutsu and to ask Aunt Shizune to be my teacher when I meet her later.
I'm very nervous now, afraid that Aunt Shizune won't think highly of me."
So that's how it is!
It's quite normal.
Xia Mu then said: "Since you're worried, let's all go together as Aoba Team. If Senior Shizune doesn't agree to take you as a student, we'll all ask her together.
Senior Shizune is a very gentle person, and she's even more gentle towards kind and motivated girls. What's more, you're her niece, she'll definitely agree, don't worry!"
Kato Megumi felt somewhat relieved upon hearing this.
She had always trusted the boss and followed the boss's advice to learn Medical Ninjutsu, precisely to become Tsunade's grand-student.
She didn't expect that as soon as Tsunade returned, she would become the Hokage, which put a lot of pressure on her. She was afraid she wouldn't be recognized, which is why she rushed to find the boss.
Fortunately, the boss is going with her; she finally found her backbone.
Yamashiro Aoba: What about me? I'm the teacher, and I'm Shizune's classmate from the same year. Can't I be the backbone?
Xia Mu explained the situation to Tenten, then went out with Team Nine. After Yamashiro Aoba made contact, they arranged to meet Katou Shizune at the dango shop.
Soon, they met.
Shizune was dressed in casual kimono as always, looking very gentle.
Yamashiro Aoba looked at Shizune like this, his expression somewhat unnatural. After all, the three cutest girls in their class back then were Kurenai Yuhi, Rin Nohara, and Shizune. Kurenai Yuhi already had Asuma, Rin Nohara sacrificed herself, and only Shizune was left.
Perhaps Yamashiro Aoba was reminiscing about school days; little Shizune was so cute back then...
"Hello everyone, I'm Katou Shizune."
Shizune greeted with a smile, "Everyone from Team Nine is here. Aoba is an old acquaintance, so I won't say much about him.
Let me recognize everyone; you are my niece Kato Megumi, you are Megumi's boyfriend Yamashiro Rinne, and you are the legendary Konoha Demon Blade Xia Mu.
It's a pleasure to meet you all!"
Legend, legendary?
Xia Mu's mouth twitched, feeling that Shizune was about to become goofy.
One must know that Shizune wearing a Jonin uniform is heroic and spirited, while Shizune wearing a casual kimono is very unrestrained and often shows goofy expressions.
"Aunt Shizune / Senior Shizune!"
Everyone greeted her, and Kato Megumi bravely stood in front of Shizune.
Then, she bowed solemnly: "Aunt Shizune! Please, please take me as your student!"
Shizune was so startled she almost jumped up. She just wanted to understand Kato Megumi's situation, see if Kato Megumi was suitable to become a Chunin, and casually catch up with family. She didn't expect this to happen.
This little girl is truly unpredictable!
Kato Megumi continued: "Aunt Shizune, I'm not good at combat, so Boss Xia Mu suggested I learn Medical Ninjutsu. Everyone says I have good medical talent, and I've been working hard to study.
I greatly admire Tsunade-sama, but I don't dare to hope to become Tsunade-sama's disciple, so I want to work hard to become Tsunade-sama's grand-student!
So Aunt, please take me as your student!"
