However, at the moment, Asahi was still holding the food, not the time for talking.

"Yahiko, my boy, did your body become weak because you haven't tasted my fist of love for such a long time?"

"How could that be~ Come, Master, let me help you with that."

Watching Asahi scold him with a smile, Yahiko chuckled as well. He stopped covering his head and playfully ran to Asahi's side, taking the cauldron from him.

"Look at you guys, all dusty and tired. Hurry up and finish your meal; I have some questions to ask you later." Asahi smiled and said to the three.

Feeling the long-lost familiarity, Konan and the others couldn't close their smiling mouths.

"Alright~"

In response, the three quickly tidied up and sat at the table.

Smelling the aroma of the food, including Shisui, Asahi's four disciples couldn't hold back.

Once Asahi mentioned eating, they all devoured their food like a whirlwind.

Even Konan, being a girl and paying some attention to her image, had an exceptionally fast eating speed.

Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan gave the impression that they had never had enough food in their lives. Even Shisui's eating habits were distorted, despite the abundance of dishes on the table.

Watching the four, Asahi just smiled and didn't say much.

Surprisingly, the table full of dishes was quickly emptied. The consequence of this result was that Yahiko was now lying on the floor, clutching his stomach.

...

"Master, what made you think of coming back to see us? When Nagato told me there were people at home just now, we were worried about attracting thieves."

After a satisfying meal, Konan sat in front of Asahi and asked. Surprisingly, her tone carried a hint of playfulness.

This gives Yahiko a chance to tease, "Hey, Konan. You're not usually like this; you usually have that cold demeanor in front of your subordinates."

Konan gave Yahiko a fierce glare. This guy had no sense of timing!

"Mind your own business."

Having said that, she shifted her gaze back to Asahi, waiting for his response.

Seeing the two banterings, Asahi smiled. This kind of atmosphere had been rare for him.

"I came back this time mainly to bring you guys some gifts and deliver some new jutsu to you."

"Gifts? What kind of thing is worth Master personally delivering?"

Konan asked in confusion. As for the new jutsu Asahi mentioned, well, compared to what he was giving them, it was nothing special.

"Here, this is it. It's the emblem of our clan that I made for you. When you're in danger, you can channel chakra into it. As soon as I sense it, I'll come looking for you."

Asahi spoke as he took out a jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to the three.

Touching the jade pendant in her hand, Konan's eyes lit up.

It was not just beautiful; the jade pendant also had their names engraved on it.

Although they could feel the sealing jutsu on the jade pendant, for them, the care embedded in the pendant was the most important.

"Thank you, Master. It's really beautiful."

Konan smiled and expressed her gratitude, holding onto the jade pendant.

"Alright, put it away. Now, let's move on to the second thing. Just now, I sensed the chakra fluctuations in the formation. Nagato, you've achieved the Sage mode, right?"

Asahi interrupted their admiration for the new items and directed his question to Nagato.

Upon hearing this, Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan stopped playing with the jade pendants and attentively listened.

"Yes, Master. I learned it just a month ago. Although I can use it now, the preparation time is quite long, and the duration of each use is very short."

Nagato explained to Asahi, and upon hearing Nagato's words, Asahi nodded.

Without direct guidance from Asahi, reaching this level of proficiency was already impressive.

"It's already good. From now on, just practice steadily. As for now, if you want to enter the Sage mode quickly, you can create a shadow clone in advance, refine Nature Energy, and release it when needed."

Asahi spoke, unreservedly borrowing an idea that would be used by Naruto in the future.

Nagato was taken aback; he hadn't thought of such a simple solution.

"Alright, Master. I understand."

Asahi nodded and then turned to Yahiko and Konan, asking, "What about you two?"

Konan nodded in response, saying, "I've already succeeded, but I face similar issues to Nagato."

Yahiko laughed, scratching his head. Judging from his appearance, it was clear that he had also succeeded.

Indeed, Yahiko's response was as expected—he also had indeed succeeded.

"As for the two jutsu I taught you earlier, how are you progressing with them?"

Upon hearing this, except for Nagato, both Konan and Yahiko looked a bit embarrassed.

"Master, not to criticize, but these two jutsu are difficult. It's been almost a month, and except for Nagato, we've only mastered the 'Infinite Space.'"

"Moreover, if we don't enter the Sage mode, we can't take out or put anything into the Infinite Space."

Asahi sighed and chuckled at their responses. Well, he didn't have much to offer them before. Besides, he only had two jutsu to teach.

One of them is the Dragon Flame Jutsu, which is indeed suitable for Nagato. However, the key is that learning this jutsu is challenging for both Yahiko and Konan.

As for the 'Infinite Space' it's even more challenging. For those, who can't maintain the Sage mode, it's practically useless.

"Alright, stop complaining. Dragon Flame Jutsu is indeed not suitable for Yahiko and Konan. As for the 'Infinite Space' although it's not very useful right now, it will become quite handy once you can enter the Sage mode anytime, anywhere."

"Now, let me teach you a new jutsu."

Asahi looked at Yahiko and Konan, who seemed discouraged and spoke with a smile.

At this news, the three immediately perked up.

Even Nagato, who was usually calm, couldn't hide his excitement. Only those who had practiced jutsu knew the true power behind them.

Now, the Dragon Flame Jutsu was Nagato's most powerful technique. Although he had developed some abilities with the Rinnegan, purely in terms of attack power, Dragon Flame Jutsu still excelled.

Earlier, they didn't pay much attention to new jutsu because they were already skilled with the techniques they had. Now, with the promise of something new, their enthusiasm was reignited.

"Master, what new jutsu is it?"

"Relax your mind; I'll transmit it to you now."

Asahi instructed them to relax, and he initiated the Kyoka Suigetsu.

In no time, with the subconscious cooperation of the three, Asahi successfully transmitted the new techniques he had gained to them.

Asahi had limited knowledge, and there wasn't anything particularly suitable for them among the newly acquired techniques. 

They would have to spend more time honing their skills and exploring various paths.

Of course, if they choose to focus on one or two techniques, they might be able to reach the pinnacle of those techniques.

As the three slowly opened their eyes, their minds gradually calmed down.

Earlier, they had absorbed so much information at once that, to be honest, their minds were a bit chaotic.

However, the three were, after all, elite Jōnin, and they quickly regained their composure.

Looking at the three coming back to their senses, Asahi spoke:

"Although I transmitted several techniques to you, I want to give you advice on two paths."

"One is to spend more time, learn, and master all of them. I recommend Nagato to take this path."

"The other is to choose only one or two techniques, master them, and integrate them into your training system. This path is more suitable for Konan and Yahiko."

"Of course, the taijutsu I just taught you, I suggest you practice a bit. After all, for you, simple usage should not be a problem."

Yahiko, Nagato, and Konan, upon hearing Asahi's advice, nodded in agreement.

They naturally understood the reasoning behind Asahi's words. At this moment, Yahiko and Konan were contemplating which technique to choose and integrate into their training systems.

Seeing the pensive looks of the two, Asahi suggested:

"Konan, I suggest you choose either the Forbidden Spirit or Kyoka Suigetsu to integrate into your Dance of the Shikigami. Whether it's sealing jutsu or genjutsu, combining them with the Dance of the Shikigami will yield unexpected results."

"As for Yahiko, I recommend you specialize in the Inner Eight Extrimist Fist, complemented by the Mirror Flower Water Moon. This way, combined with your Water Release Ninjutsu, you won't have any weaknesses."

Hearing this, Yahiko and Konan realized that Asahi's advice was indeed the best choice for them.

As for the Flash Step, neither of them had considered it.

Except for Nagato, who had the Rinnegan, Yahiko and Konan's dynamic perception abilities were not particularly strong.

Konan was okay since she could stay in the sky. However, if Yahiko practiced the Flash Step, the outcome might be unpredictable, considering his current abilities.
