Chapter 43: Inventive Spirit

"So, that's how it is..."

After a quick demonstration, Kiyoshi understood.

Thanks to Tsunade's explanation, he finally grasped why his chakra control was exceptional.

As it turned out, members of the Senju Clan not only possessed extraordinary chakra reserves but were also naturally gifted in chakra control.

"Of course, for someone your age to have such incredible chakra levels and outstanding control is truly exceptional in the entire history of the Senju Clan." Tsunade said with a smile.

In her experience, no one matched Kiyoshi's talent.

He not only possessed the rare Wood Release and massive chakra reserves but also had a remarkable aptitude for ninjutsu.

He was practically a blend of her grandfather, Hashirama Senju, and her granduncle, Tobirama Senju.

"Tsunade-sensei, where are we going next?" Kiyoshi asked, not overly proud of himself.

After all, the Otsutsuki Clan members were practically born at the top of the shinobi world.

With powers like Tenseigan and even the legendary Rinnegan, they wielded natural Bloodline Limits with ease.

His abilities, when compared to them, were only modest in potential.

"We're heading to the capital of the Land of Fire. While we were in Konoha, we received several requests from nobles and ministers asking for medical assistance," Tsunade explained with a shrug and a small laugh. 

"These people are generous; the payment is pretty lucrative."

She figured the fees would be enough to give her a nice spree.

The fees they'd earned working at Konoha Hospital recently were far from enough for her gambling habits. In fact, she'd racked up even more debt.

"Uh-hum, Kiyoshi, Lady Tsunade has built up quite a bit of debt. 

To avoid debt collectors, we really need to earn some money to pay off part of it first," Shizune muttered nearby, holding Tonton the pig.

"Oink… oink..."

"Shall we fly over there, then?"

Kiyoshi nodded in agreement.

He wasn't short on money, but he welcomed the chance to treat patients.

Not out of kindness or a healer's compassion, but because he needed extensive clinical practice to accumulate experience.

To him, these patients were like test subjects, allowing him to refine his medical techniques, broaden his perspective, and ultimately aid in developing Forbidden Techniques.

Just as Tobirama Senju once pioneered a range of techniques and Forbidden Techniques from scratch—including the Flying Thunder God Jutsu and the Reanimation Jutsu—Kiyoshi aspired to do the same.

He wasn't content to be ordinary and certainly didn't feel that his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, the Wood-Wood Fruit-enhanced Wood Release, or even his mastery of Perfect Sage Mode made those techniques irrelevant.

The Uchiha Clan's abundant ninjutsu and secret techniques.

To Kiyoshi, it was a treasure trove waiting to be tapped.

Once he fully digested them, he would significantly enhance his abilities and understanding.

It would lay a strong foundation for him to create entirely new techniques and Forbidden Techniques in the future.

"Fly there?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow, looking surprised.

Shizune's jaw dropped as she stared at him, speechless. "Kiyoshi… you can fly?"

"Wood Release: Helicopter."

Kiyoshi raised his right hand, pressing two fingers together in front of him.

Under Tsunade and Shizune's astonished gazes, a tree sapling sprouted from the ground, growing rapidly before their eyes.

The sapling quickly developed lush green leaves and a vibrant array of flowers, forming into a large, oval-shaped vehicle shell.

At the top and rear of this wooden structure, massive sunflowers bloomed.

It was unmistakably a unique "Kiyoshi-brand helicopter."

"What… is this?" Tsunade and Shizune's eyes widened.

Inside the helicopter was an expansive interior, far more spacious than a typical carriage.

It was practically a mobile house.

It could easily accommodate three passengers, with ample space for stretching out and even rolling around if they wanted.

"No matter how powerful the ability, it's all about how you use it. I haven't been idle these past few years." Kiyoshi grinned. 

"Although I couldn't openly use Wood Release in the village, I practiced scaled-down models in secret until I perfected it."

"Come on in."

Kiyoshi opened the cabin door, inviting the surprised Tsunade and Shizune to enter.

Once inside, Tsunade leaned back in her seat. "Now I have to see this."

The cabin was surprisingly comfortable and protected from the elements, making her even more intrigued.

"Kiyoshi, can this really fly?" Shizune asked curiously, examining the unusual vehicle as Kiyoshi settled inside and closed the door.

"Tsunade-neechan, Shizune-senpai, just watch." Kiyoshi replied confidently, patting his chest.

With that, he poured his chakra into the helicopter.

 "All you need to do is give directions; leave the rest to me."

"Whirrrrr…"

In an instant, the massive sunflower on top began spinning rapidly, creating a powerful wind.

Under Tsunade and Shizune's incredulous gazes, they felt a slight jolt as the helicopter lifted off the ground.

In seconds, it was already ten meters high and continued to ascend.

"This is unbelievable… it's actually flying." Shizune stared, amazed, watching the ground shrink away below through the open window.

Even Tsunade, with all her experience, couldn't help but be impressed. "Kiyoshi, you never cease to surprise."

The Wood Release that once dominated the shinobi world under the First Hokage's command was indeed powerful, with techniques like the Four-Pillar House and even the more advanced Serial-Pillar House.

But he had never thought to create a flying technique like this.

With such a simple principle, Kiyoshi had created a fully functional flying vehicle using Wood Release.

"Wow, this is… high." Shizune looked a bit worried. "Won't this cause too much commotion?"

"No need to worry; I've got a solution... Secret Technique: Camouflage Jutsu."

Kiyoshi smiled and performed a single-handed seal.

The helicopter, originally a natural wood color, gradually changed to match the color of the sky.

Unless someone looked closely, they wouldn't notice it at all.

And though the sunflowers created a strong gust of wind, they were much quieter than a typical mechanical engine.

Flying high, there was little chance of attracting attention.

The Camouflage Jutsu was a simple but effective technique he had learned from the Uchiha Clan archives.

"Alright then, let's go!"

Under Tsunade's guidance, Kiyoshi piloted the helicopter, which had now blended into the sky, hundreds of meters above the ground.

The rear sunflower began spinning as well, releasing a strong air current, propelling the Kiyoshi-brand helicopter and its three passengers swiftly toward their destination.
