Chapter 24: Kushina, the daughter of Daitaka Tokudo
"Pierce the ox!"
Fukuyo softly called out the name of Guan Niu's shikigami, revealing the spell through an incomplete summoning.
The mechanism of charging power over a straight distance in a piercing bull instantly flooded into Fu Heiyao's mind as if by instinct.
Fukuyo infused his fist with the mechanism of the Piercing Bull technique along with chakra, then slammed it down onto the ground.
"Bang!" The lawn was violently crushed, leaving a small crater.
"Such a simple mechanism, but its effect is barely noticeable." Fu Heiyao calculated that because the distance was too close, the distance charging mechanism of this punch only increased by five percent.
"The charging mechanism requires me to fight hand-to-hand, but physical strength is not my forte. If only the core mechanism of charging from a distance could be extracted and amplified for Yu Chuzi."
Fu Heiyao pondered for a moment and felt it was a pity.
However, there are ways to make this mechanism work.
The ten shikigami of the Ten Shadows Technique are not living beings; they are merely ten different magical power mechanisms.
It's just that some mechanisms are biased towards numerical values.
These are not innate techniques or things that are completely illogical; in other words, these mechanisms can be learned and reproduced according to one's own understanding.
For example, the Chimera Beast is the result of Fukuko's deep understanding of the operating mechanisms of the Jade Dog and the Toad.
Although they were unable to completely deconstruct the mechanisms of the two, they were able to combine them based on their understanding to create the Chimera Beast, the Unending Throat.
The role played by the Chimera Beast's Unending Throat is beyond doubt.
Therefore, Fuko has never stopped dissecting the core mechanics of each shikigami.
Just as Fukuko was incorporating the distance-charging mechanism of the Piercing Bull into his plan to become the strongest, a girl's shout came from outside the door.
"My little light, my little sun!"
Fu Heiyao looked at the marks all over the floor, heard the increasingly urgent knocking and the nickname, clicked his tongue, and then went to open the door.
When Fukuyo first heard why Minato's nickname from the original work had been applied to him, he was also quite confused.
What is all this nonsense? But after hearing Kushina stammering something about "Yo itself means sun" and "sunlight is also light" and so on, I stopped paying attention.
It's not that I'm relieved, it's just that I'm out of options.
Kushina strolled leisurely through the door, completely ignoring the fact that she was almost late for school.
Fu Heiyao was not surprised by this.
Since he began training in cursed chakra, Fukuko has resorted to using shadow clones for lessons because he loses control every night and the side effects are too severe.
He would switch back to his original form when he was training after school, but as the saying goes, "If you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet." One day, Kushina discovered this little secret by accident.
To cool down Kushina's face, which had turned as red as a tomato, and to shut her up, Fushiko had no choice but to tell her the secret of the Shadow Clone Technique.
Kushina was astonished after hearing the secret of the Shadow Clone Technique.
Subsequently, the number of people using shadow clones to attend class each day increased to two.
"I think I heard some strange noises... Oh my god... Has your house been vandalized!?"
When Kushina saw the messy yard, her eyes widened.
Kushina roared, "Who smashed this? We'll settle the score with them!"
"It's just a minor incident during cultivation; don't worry about it."
Fu Heiya dragged the ferocious Kushina back to the villa, letting her play by herself, while he used the time to go to the kitchen to make something to eat.
Chakra is synthesized from spiritual energy and life energy. Although Fukuko's chakra requires less life energy, it still needs a lot of food to replenish it.
Moreover, he is still at the age where he is growing, and it would be terrible if he didn't grow tall due to lack of nutrition.
A moment later, Fu Heiyao seemed to have thought of something and poked half his head out of the kitchen, asking:
"Little Tomato, have you eaten?"
"I haven't eaten, please make some for me, please!"
Kushina begged loudly.
Fu Heiya didn't care; it was just one more person's worth of food, which was no problem for someone as skilled as Fu Heiya.
Before long, Fu Heiyao brought out several dishes featuring tomatoes.
"Are you doing this on purpose?!" Kushina gritted her teeth in exasperation.
"If you don't like it, just watch me eat." Fu Heiyao didn't say anything, he just kept eating.
Kushina, unable to bear her rumbling stomach, also joined the fight for food.
"Little Tomato, how's your sealing technique coming along?"
The two, having eaten and drunk their fill, lay on the sofa.
Fu Heiya reached out and poked Kushina's chubby little belly. After she breathed on it, he smiled and asked.
Kushina's speed in mastering medical ninjutsu was a perfect score because of her healing constitution, but Fushiko couldn't stand Kushina's self-degradation.
Under his persuasion, Kushina immediately went to study her clan's specialty sealing techniques.
This is Kushina's talent, and it's also what Fushiko Kuroyo is most looking forward to.
Under the tutelage of Mito Uzumaki, a veteran of the Sengoku period, Kushina's sealing techniques improved by leaps and bounds.
In just half a year, Fu Heiyao no longer had a chance to interject. Now, the sealing techniques that Kushina had learned had probably reached areas of knowledge that Fu Heiyao had never even heard of.
Fu Heiyao: What kind of bizarre language is this?
Kushina: Sealing Technique!
"Sealing techniques are child's play for me." Kushina tilted her head back, chin slightly raised, and said smugly.
"Hmph, Grandma Mito said that even in the entire Hidden Leaf Village, aside from her, I could rank in the top ten when it comes to sealing techniques alone!"
"As expected of Kushina, she can easily do things that others cannot."
Fukuyo clapped at the opportune moment, praising Kushina as if she were a child.
Every individual needs encouragement and support during their growth.
Fu Heiyao had never had this thing in either his past or present life, but that didn't stop him from knowing about it.
Therefore, he would encourage Kushina every time she made progress in her sealing techniques, thus maintaining her high level of motivation to learn sealing techniques.
Conversely, if there is only pressure and blame, Kushina will develop a rebellious mentality and hate the sealing technique, leaving Fushiko Kuroyo helpless.
"It's not that amazing, is it? I still have a lot to learn." The barrage of praise made Kushina feel embarrassed.
Her fair and delicate little hand waved unconsciously, revealing a silly smile, but she couldn't suppress the smile that was on her lips.
"You're only eight years old, and you've already achieved something that most people might not be able to do in their entire lives."
Don't underestimate yourself, Kushina, you are a super genius.
Fushiko gave Kushina a thumbs up. "The title of the strongest sealing technique in the future ninja world belongs to you alone."
The constant praise made Kushina feel quite euphoric, so much so that she didn't even have time to slap away Fukuyo's hand that kept poking her cheeks.
Then came some everyday complaints.
Kushina talked about her family, and she felt that Grandma Mito was not doing well.
Nawaki and Minato were inseparable. Tsunade had terrible luck gambling; she not only lost all the pocket money he lent her, but also stayed out all night.
Kushina felt that the two of them had gone too far.
Unlike her, who only feels sorry for her grandmother.
Fu Heiyao thought to himself, "You're not bad either. You come to my house every day after you finish learning sealing techniques."
However, he didn't say it aloud, otherwise Kushina would have started breathing on him again.
"Oh, right," Kushina suddenly grabbed Fushiko's hand, staring at him without saying a word.
Fukuyo tilted his head, wondering what Kushina was up to.
Just as he was about to pat Kushina's head and tap it, as was his usual method for dealing with a TV with a bad signal, he saw Kushina's expression suddenly turn serious.
Kushina's round face looked especially cute because of her deliberately tense expression.
"Let's fight, a serious one!"
Kushina stared at Fushiko's face, secretly thinking how close she had come to disaster.
I never imagined that just imagining punching this face would make me feel a little reluctant.
However, after a moment's hesitation, reason prevailed over emotion, and Kushina hardened her heart, because Fushiko had never held back, especially after she awakened her healing physique.
He would genuinely slap himself in the face without hesitation.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get. Ugh, how can this person be so mean!
The clouds that had been obscuring the sky were blown away by the wind, and sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto Kushina's head.
Kushina appears as lovely as an angel in the light, but Fushiko has a different interpretation.
"The weather's cleared up, is Kushina getting cocky?"
Fushiko didn't know what Kushina's trump cards were, but he still happily agreed.
He hoped that a severe beating would awaken Kushina's humility.
...........
Deep in the Konoha Forest, on the edge of the village
Death Forest
This is an extremely dangerous forest, with ancient trees reaching for the sky, blocking out the sun, and it is dark and damp all year round, home to many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts.
Even Chunin must be wary of such dangers, but to Fukuko, they are nothing more than ordinary little animals.
As for why the duel was held here, it's Fukuko's habit.
Although Fukuyo is quite strong, with theoretical strength comparable to a Jonin, he ultimately hasn't adapted to ninja combat.
Back then, just a memory of Su Nuo had embarrassed him, and this matter was like a thorn stuck in Fu Heiyao's heart.
From then on, in addition to training with the three little ones, he frequently entered and exited the Forest of Death.
Instead of summoning shikigami, they interact with the small animals inside using fists and feet imbued with chakra.
The little animals did not disappoint them; they were all very patient.
What if you encounter danger if you don't use your skills?
Of course, we should treat him to a meal prepared by the royal chef!
This made Fuheiya feel great, and the battle memories of having drawn Sukuna before were burning up during the beating.
