Chapter 287: Tsunade Wants to Slack Off

"I want to develop a Sealing Jutsu that can store extra Chakra within the body, but this involves many Chakra points. How can I establish the Sealing Jutsu in the body without affecting the Chakra points?" Mutsuki asked.

In order to get a portable charger for himself, Mutsuki is now studying Sealing Jutsu more diligently than when he was preparing for any exam. He spends his spare time thinking about Sealing Jutsu.

Currently, he has raised half of the Sealing Jutsu he has learned to the Mastery level, while the rest are mostly at the Proficient level with more than half of the experience gained.

Mutsuki feels that even if he is lacking in Sealing Jutsu, it's only a small amount. He has seen the Sealing Team Jonin's panel, and their Proficiency level and quality are not as good as his. What he lacks now is in Medical Ninjutsu, which will help him complete the development more steadily.

"Huh? Are you sure you're here to ask about Medical Ninjutsu?" Tsunade remarked after hearing Mutsuki's question.

"I'm sure. It involves a lot of medical knowledge and fine operations within the human body, doesn't it?" Mutsuki replied calmly.

One of the reasons he paid money was to avoid Tsunade dismissing him after hearing his first sentence. Now that Tsunade has already received six hundred thousand ryo, she ought to listen to him for a while.

Tsunade thought for a moment. Developing such a Ninjutsu indeed requires impressive Medical Ninjutsu skills.

Why does Tsunade know this so well? Because she knows of a Ninjutsu similar to what Mutsuki described. It's a Sealing Jutsu passed down from her grandmother, Uzumaki Mito, called the Yin Seal, which can store Chakra.

Tsunade has not learned this Ninjutsu because it has significant flaws and is very difficult to master. However, this Ninjutsu has great potential, and Tsunade had been thinking about how to improve the Yin Seal or develop complementary Ninjutsu.

But that was in the past. Since the deaths of her brother and lover, Tsunade has lost interest in Ninja matters. She knows that if her ideas could succeed, they would greatly enhance her power, but she also feels indifferent about it.

So what if she's strong? The people she loved are dead. No matter how advanced her Medical Ninjutsu becomes, it can only heal the living, not bring the dead back to life.

Now, Tsunade only views these studies as a way to pass the time. Sometimes, when she's bored and doesn't want to drink or gamble because she has no money, she engages in research for a while.

"That's true, but do you really understand the difficulty of developing the Ninjutsu you want?" Tsunade said flatly, trying to make Mutsuki reconsider.

"First of all, it requires an extremely high level of Sealing Jutsu skills. Playing with Sealing Jutsu inside your own body can easily affect your health."

Releasing Ninjutsu requires Chakra, using Taijutsu requires Chakra, even climbing walls or walking on water requires Chakra. It can be said that the amount of Chakra largely determines a Ninja's strength.

If it were easy to create a Chakra charger inside one's own body, it would have long become a necessary tool for strong practitioners. This is truly a highly difficult task.

Mutsuki adjusted his glasses, extended his hand, and opened his palm to perform the Five Elements Seal. Five beams of bright Chakra light appeared in Mutsuki's hand.

"Five Elements Seal, you can actually perform it so smoothly." Tsunade was slightly surprised; this was already a rather advanced Sealing Jutsu.

"I'm quite confident with Sealing Jutsu. Additionally, I've also learned the Four Symbols Seal," Mutsuki said with a smile as he dispersed the Chakra.

"You've even mastered the Four Symbols Seal." Tsunade was even more surprised. This was an extremely powerful Sealing Jutsu that she hadn't mastered herself, which meant that Mutsuki's Sealing Jutsu skills surpassed hers.

"What level is your Medical Ninjutsu at now?" Tsunade continued to ask.

Mutsuki showed Tsunade his Chakra Scalpel and Mystical Palm Jutsu.

After seeing them, Tsunade was a bit overwhelmed. Mastering these two techniques already made Mutsuki a very competent medical Ninja.

Just thinking about it, she knew that the next answers would definitely not be easy.

If she were to use a metaphor, Tsunade initially thought she needed to teach basic arithmetic, but it turned out she needed to teach advanced calculus.

"This is such a hassle. Maybe I should just have Shizune teach him instead," Tsunade thought as her inertia began to kick in while lying on the wooden corridor.

"It's impossible to think of a way. How could I teach Yumi-sensei?" Shizune couldn't help but comment on Tsunade's reluctance.

Shizune gave Tsunade a little push and urged, "Tsunade-sama, you've already accepted Yumi-sensei's payment. How can you go back on your promise?"

Mutsuki silently gave Shizune a thumbs-up in his heart. It seems that being a good sensei has its rewards, and his earlier teaching was not in vain.

After Shizune pushed her several times, Tsunade sat up again and immediately began to rub Shizune's little face hard with her hands.

"Umm, Tsunade-sama~" Shizune looked at Tsunade with a pitiful expression.

"Children like you are born to be rubbed by me. How dare you lecture me?" After thoroughly enjoying herself, Tsunade lowered her hands with a smug smile.

After a brief session of one-sided playful roughhousing with Shizune, Tsunade composed herself and began to answer Mutsuki's questions.

Mutsuki had accumulated quite a few buffs, brought by Jiraiya, and Shizune, who quite liked him as a sensei, had paid first as well.

If one of these factors were missing, Tsunade might not be very willing.

Mutsuki had to admit that he had found the right person. Although Tsunade's personality had its flaws, her level of Medical Ninjutsu was truly unmatched. After an hour of discussion with Tsunade, he discovered many problems he hadn't noticed before.

Perhaps due to some dissatisfaction, Tsunade's remarks were quite sharp when pointing out Mutsuki's mistakes, such as calling someone an idiot who didn't know something that even a pig would know.

However, Mutsuki didn't mind. After all, this was a tutor who could help him complete his project. Even if she spoke harshly, he would stilattend her lessons.

Moreover, it must be said that Tsunade was very beautiful. For someone with special preferences from his previous life, this might even be considered a reward.

Happy times always pass quickly. In terms of teaching medical knowledge, Tsunade was indeed a very good sensei. As he listened to her lecture and pondered, five and a half hours quickly passed, from noon to dusk.

"Finally, it's almost over. I must have a good drink tonight!" Tsunade showed a relieved expression. Teaching for such a long time was something she didn't even do with Shizune.

Tsunade decided she wouldn't take any more money for this; next time Mutsuki approached her, she would just send him away. It's much more comfortable to relax.

"If you're tired, Tsunade-sama, we can finish now and you can rest," Mutsuki said with a gentle smile.

"Well, you said it yourself." Tsunade agreed without hesitation. Only a fool would refuse such a good offer.

Mutsuki looked up at the sky and then asked with concern, "After such a long class, you must be both tired and hungry, right, Tsunade-sama? I happen to have some skill in cooking. How about I make you something to eat?"

"Yumi-sensei is really kind," Shizune thought to herself, appreciating that the class was ending early and Mutsuki was offering to help with dinner.

She believed that Mutsuki, as a teacher, must deeply understand the effort involved in focused teaching, which is why he offered to help.

Tsunade, who always welcomed good fortune, was willing to accept but worried about Mutsuki's cooking skills. She asked, "What level of skill do you have in cooking?"

"More confident than in Sealing Jutsu," Mutsuki replied with a smile.

In fact, his cooking could even impress beings that were not human.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade became interested. Mutsuki's performance in Sealing Jutsu had been exceptional.

Next, Mutsuki went to buy groceries and also picked up some pastries from home. He then started cooking at Tsunade's house.

"Yumi-sensei, I'll help you wash the vegetables," Shizune said as she walked into the kitchen.

"Yes, you're such a good child. Thank you," Mutsuki said with a smile as he handed three wrapped pastries to Shizune.

Shizune could smell an enticing aroma from them, but she looked at Mutsuki with curiosity rather than accepting them.

"This is a reward," Mutsuki insisted, placing the pastries in Shizune's hands.

After washing the vegetables, Shizune curiously tried one of the pastries. Her eyes instantly lit up; she had never tasted such delicious sweets before.

"Yumi-sensei, which pastry shop in the village did you buy these from?" Shizune asked eagerly.

If they weren't too expensive, she could use her pocket money to buy some for herself.

"This is not for sale."

"Why not?"

"Because I made it myself."

Shizune was astonished, not expecting Mutsuki to have such skills.

Shizune took the remaining two pastries, planning to eat one each day.

If it were other delicious foods, Shizune would definitely share them with Tsunade. However, since Tsunade didn't like sweets, Shizune decided not to share. She remembered Tsunade had once commented on how strange it was that so many people liked three-colored dango.

After finishing the cooking, Mutsuki packed some of the dishes into a lunchbox and sent it to Minato via Shadow Clone. He then served the rest.

The aroma was quite pleasant, but Tsunade wondered how it would taste.

She glanced at the unfamiliar dishes, which all looked very good.

Tsunade casually picked a piece of meat from the spicy stir-fried peppers. After tasting it, she was instantly amazed, feeling as if she had been transported to another world, forgetting all her worries.

When she came back to her senses, despite the intense spiciness, Tsunade couldn't help but want to continue eating.

After taking a bite, Shizune also fell into a state of immersive eating.

When Tsunade tried to continue picking dishes to mix with her rice, she suddenly realized that all three plates were empty.

"Is this all you made? Don't underestimate a Ninja's appetite," Tsunade said, feeling a bit unsatisfied.

"Considering that Tsunade-sama, you will be going out for drinks with Jiraiya-sama and the others tonight, I didn't make too much. I originally planned to try a new dish with a whole chicken," Mutsuki explained.

Tsunade now wanted to give Jiraiya a good punch. Couldn't he have chosen another day?

"But I will come back tomorrow to continue learning. I'll make more food tomorrow night," Mutsuki added.

Tsunade was a bit conflicted. She initially wanted to continue living a carefree life without teaching or anything else.

However, after tasting Mutsuki's cooking and hearing about the new chicken dish he mentioned, Tsunade was very curious about how Mutsuki's chicken would taste.

"Then I'll teach you for one more day. It's good to earn more money and gamble a bit more," Tsunade decided. She resolved to teach Mutsuki for one more day and then let him know not to come back after that.

"Alright then, remember to make more dishes tomorrow and make sure they taste good," Tsunade reminded him.

Seeing Tsunade's expression, Mutsuki knew his plan had taken its first step. He smiled and nodded.

In the evening, Jiraiya and Orochimaru came to Tsunade's house to invite her out for drinks. However, Jiraiya was puzzled by Tsunade's displeased look at him.
