Whoosh—
"Hokage-sama! We've completed the investigation."
After Hoshino Yoru and the others left, an ANBU of Konoha knelt on one knee and reported respectfully to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Mm. What did you find?" Hiruzen's expression was solemn—completely different from his earlier smiling demeanor.
"The Hoshino clan does not have anyone else possessing a Bloodline Limit like Hoshino Yoru's," the ANBU replied.
"However, the Hoshino clan only entered Konoha within the last twenty years. Their earlier history cannot be traced. Please punish us, Hokage-sama!"
"This is not your fault," Hiruzen said calmly.
"I've heard the Hoshino clan existed even before the era of ninja villages. Investigating such a lineage is extremely difficult."
"You may leave."
"Yes!"
After the ANBU departed, a trace of disappointment flashed in Hiruzen's eyes.
Yoru's displayed ability had already been judged by him as a Kekkei Genkai—
Terrifying heat.
Overwhelming destructive power.
And no need for hand seals.
All signs pointed to how monstrous this bloodline was.
If others within the Hoshino clan also possessed it—
The benefits to Konoha would be immeasurable.
"…The situation is becoming unstable."
Hiruzen let out a quiet sigh.
…
After leaving the Hokage Building, Jiraiya and Orochimaru departed first.
Before leaving, Jiraiya even shot Yoru a fierce glare.
What an idiot…
Yoru couldn't help but feel both amused and helpless.
Meanwhile—
Tsunade pulled Yoru into a small forest within Konoha.
"Yoru," Tsunade said casually, "I specialize in medical ninjutsu. You probably aren't that interested in it."
"But—"
"I'm quite confident in my own monster strength."
A trace of pride appeared on her beautiful face.
"Do you want to learn it?"
"Tsunade-nee, I want to test my chakra nature first," Yoru said after a moment of thought.
He urgently needed to confirm his chakra affinities.
Chakra test paper wasn't cheap—
He definitely wasn't willing to buy it himself.
And if he had Fire and Lightning—
His body-tempering plan could officially begin.
As for lightning stimulation—
Now that he had Tsunade as his teacher…
As the acknowledged princess of the Senju clan, Konoha, and even the Land of Fire—
Her status was unmatched.
Even if she didn't have much money because of gambling—
Her training resources?
Absolutely abundant.
That's one of the main reasons I chose her as my teacher…
Definitely not because she's beautiful… or anything else…
"Chakra test, huh?"
Tsunade rummaged through her ninja pouch behind her and casually pulled out a sheet.
"Here. Just channel your chakra into it."
Look at that—
This is what being rich looks like.
Yoru took the paper, silently amazed.
Something Tsunade clearly didn't even need—
Yet she had it lying around like trash.
Yoru focused and infused chakra into the test paper.
In the next moment—
One corner ignited.
One corner wrinkled.
One corner crumbled.
"Fire… Lightning… Earth?!"
Tsunade stared in shock.
"Yoru—you actually have three innate chakra natures?!"
Most people only possessed one.
Even Jonin usually developed a second later on.
But Yoru—
Had three from the start.
Yoru himself felt a surge of relief.
Even though he had magma abilities—
He couldn't guarantee he'd naturally possess Fire and Lightning.
If he didn't—
That would've been troublesome.
"Good!"
Tsunade smiled.
"Yoru, what jutsu do you want? I can get you anything from those three attributes."
That overwhelming aura of wealth hit once again.
This was the ninja world—
Having a good teacher gave you an unimaginable advantage.
"Tsunade-nee," Yoru said slowly,
"I only need two things."
"Lightning Release—Lightning Stimulation Method."
"And—your method of strength control."
Yes—
Although Tsunade's monster strength relied on precise chakra control—
Her mastery over physical strength was equally terrifying.
As the future greatest medical ninja—
Her understanding of the human body was unmatched.
What Yoru needed—
Was that control.
Once mastered—
He could develop explosive magma-based power.
After all—
The true terror of magma wasn't just its heat—
But its eruption.
Like a volcanic explosion—
In that instant—
Magma combined with extreme heat could reduce everything to ash.
