Chapter 22: Chapter 23: Little Sun and Red Chili Pepper
In front of Mu Yue were three scrolls. He opened each one in turn. The first scroll contained money. Mu Yue counted it and found that it totaled 200,000 ryo.
He placed the money aside. Money, in any world, was always welcome.
Ninjas were heavy spenders. Whether it was for various ninja tools or the secret medicines needed for training, it all cost a lot.
Next, he opened the second scroll. It contained a C-rank ninjutsu: Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu.
This was a jutsu Mu Yue hadn't yet drawn, but he already had many Fire Style techniques under his belt. Whether they were wide-ranging or flexible, he didn't need to waste time practicing this Fireball Jutsu.
Mu Yue picked up the last scroll and opened it. This was the reply from Danzo regarding his report.
Danzo began by praising Mu Yue for his work performance. He was quick to become an excellent teacher and had even earned the Third Hokage's praise. Danzo was satisfied and gave a reward, hoping that Mu Yue...
Skipping over Danzo's manipulative comments, Mu Yue went straight to the requirements.
"Become Asuma Sarutobi's tutor. Earn his trust and become someone he respects." This was Danzo's request in response to Mu Yue's report.
Mu Yue put the ninjutsu scroll away and burned the other two scrolls. Although he didn't need to practice them, they were free gifts from Danzo, and burning them felt like a waste.
"Danzo, that old bastard, isn't giving up on the Hokage position," Mu Yue muttered.
It was clear that Danzo had some designs on the Third Hokage's son.
However, Mu Yue didn't mind. At worst, he'd spend a few hours on the weekend; it wouldn't impact him much.
"Should I sell the house in the main district?" Mu Yue thought of something.
The original owner didn't start out living in the remote southern forest. In fact, he had a house in the main district of Konoha, which was left by his parents. However, in order to keep his identity hidden, he had moved to the southern forest.
Although he rarely stayed there, the original owner would return every year to clean the house.
Mu Yue thought that since he wasn't living there, he might as well sell it. He remembered that the house was in a good location, and it might be worth quite a bit of money. He could use the proceeds to buy secret medicines for training.
Although the system was helpful, it was always good to improve a little on his own.
With that thought, Mu Yue stood up and headed toward the main district of Konoha, planning to check on the house and clean it up so he could sell it.
Mu Yue found the house according to the original owner's memory. Just as he was about to unlock the door, he saw a figure with golden hair walking out of the neighboring house.
"Hello, are you the new tenant?" Minato Namikaze greeted curiously.
He had bought this house months ago but had never seen anyone enter the one on the right. Minato thought a new neighbor had moved in.
When Mu Yue turned around, Minato immediately recognized him. With his golden hair and blue eyes, plus the gentle smile on his face, Minato had an impression of meeting another version of himself, making the encounter unforgettable.
"No, this is actually my house. But due to certain reasons, I moved out. I don't come back often," Mu Yue greeted with a smile.
He realized he didn't need to sell the house after all; it was good to keep it.
Before, he was troubled by how to approach Minato to learn about sealing techniques, and now, as neighbors, this seemed like a good opportunity. Plus, Minato had moved in after him.
"Minato, I came to see you," a lively voice suddenly sounded.
"Hey, Minato, you never told me you had a brother who looks a lot like you," Kushina Uzumaki teased, looking at Mu Yue with his golden hair, blue eyes, and a gentle smile that made her feel like she was meeting Minato's sibling.
"Sorry, this is my girlfriend. As you can see, she's a bit too lively, so please forgive her," Minato said apologetically to Mu Yue.
"This is my neighbor..." Minato was about to say Mu Yue's name but realized he didn't know it.
"I'm Yu Sheng Mu Yue," Mu Yue introduced himself.
"Hello, I'm Kushina Uzumaki. Your name sounds nice," Kushina smiled and introduced herself while hugging Minato from behind.
"Hello, I'm Minato Namikaze," Minato smiled and gently pulled Kushina off him, introducing himself as well.
"Thank you. Your fiery red hair looks great too," Mu Yue said as he opened the door, returning the compliment.
Kushina's eyes immediately lit up, and she gave a thumbs-up. "Nice! You have a good eye."
She felt Mu Yue knew how to flatter people.
When Mu Yue opened the door, dust and smoke spilled out from the gap.
Mu Yue glanced inside. It wasn't too dirty, but the house had been uninhabited for a long time, so there was a lot of dust.
"Sorry, I won't be able to entertain you right now. I need to clean up first," Mu Yue said, turning back.
"We won't disturb you, then," Minato said as he led Kushina back to their home.
Mu Yue watched their backs as they walked away and evaluated them.
[Name: Kushina Uzumaki]
[Chakra: 150,000 (??)]
[Potential: SS]
[Evaluation: Skilled in sealing techniques, possessing an extraordinary amount of special chakra that ordinary people can only dream of.]
Mu Yue could only say that her chakra was enough to make him envious. As for the question mark in the chakra value, it was the first time Mu Yue had seen this.
He guessed that Kushina had likely become the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, but the Nine-Tails inside her hadn't been identified yet, which was why there was a question mark.
Kushina's potential was truly astonishing. The double S rank was the highest potential Mu Yue had seen so far.
But based on his knowledge of the original work, Mu Yue speculated that one of the S ranks was probably due to the Nine-Tails. If she lost the Nine-Tails, her potential would drop to just S.
Otherwise, with double S potential, she wouldn't even need the Nine-Tails. Kushina would already be a force to be reckoned with, leaving the Third Hokage and Minato with only S rank potential.
Mu Yue used the Shadow Clone Jutsu to create ten clones, assigning them to clean the house.
Mu Yue once again marveled at the genius of Tobirama, who had developed such a convenient jutsu.
After finishing the cleaning, Mu Yue bought some daily necessities and placed them in the house.
He didn't rush to visit Minato's house to build a relationship. He planned to live here occasionally and gradually become friends with Minato.
Opening the window, he enjoyed the evening breeze while continuing to enrich his training plans for his students.
Both Might Guy and Obito, who hadn't placed first in their class, needed targeted training.
As for Shisui, Mu Yue planned to improve his chakra control abilities, which would not only enhance his combat power but also lay a foundation for learning Genjutsu in the future.
