Naruto: Senmei Asahi

Holding his part of the commission, Asahi bought some ingredients on his way home and also bought some ninja tools. In doing so, his money was reduced by half in an instant. 

After returning home, he took a hot bath, trying to wash away the fatigue, and then just lay on the bed, thinking about the feasibility of the plan "Tsunade". 

In the original anime, the reason why Naruto got acknowledge by Tsunade, in addition to his looks and character being similar to Tsunade's younger brother Nawaki, the most important thing was the battle between Naruto and Kabuto. Naruto's stubborn willpower gave Tsunade a big shock, awakening the old Tsunade buried inside of her.

However, Tsunade had not yet started to use alcohol and gambling to anesthetize herself, and had just experienced the death of her younger brother and lover. Tsunade's emotional state at least for the moment was very weak, which was the best time for Asahi to enter her mind.

However, this plan was destined to be a long-term one, ranging from a few months to maybe several years, and it might not even be successful in the end. 

It was a big decision. Even if he couldn't become Tsunade's disciple, being able to learn medical ninjutsu could also help Asahi survive the upcoming war. 

At least with having medical ninjutsu learned, he could join the medic team during the war, instead of rushing to fight the enemy on the frontline. 

And if Asahi reached a level where he could access forbidden jutsus in the future, he would be able to better study them with his foundation of learning medical ninjutsu. 

So no matter how you look at it, learning medical ninjutsu had only benefits and no problems.

…

Hokage Office. 

The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the file in his hand, took a strong sip of the tobacco pipe, closed his eyes, and carefully thought about it for a while before his eyes opened. While slowly exhaling smoke, he lightly sighed. 

In all fairness, Hiruzen was very surprised. He didn't expect that a eight year old kid would do so well in his first mission. Especially the mission at this time also had an accident. Without Asahi's immediate ambush, maybe Ueno and Keita would have suffered serious injuries even if they had managed to survive. 

Without his already established confidence in Ueno, he would probably have thought this information was false. 

If Asahi was part of the younger generation of a clan, that would be all, but he was just a war orphan. During his academy period, no one guided Asahi except Yamamoto. 

But even with this being the case, Asahi had achieved so much. 

Thinking of his own son, Asuma, even with an Elite-Jonin as his personal teacher, he was still just a little kid after all. If this mission were to be executed by Asuma as his first mission, it might not be possible for him to come back alive.

Kakashi was also undoubtedly a genius, but even he's still a bit worse than Asahi. In particular, after he experienced the suicide of his father Hatake Sakumo, his character became very lonely, and he had already been excluded from two teams.

Also the main thing was that Asahi was a war orphan and was adopted by Konoha from an early age. There was no problem with his status, and there was no political leaning, so that meant he could be drawn over. 

Jiraiya leaned a bit bored on his chair, squinting and wondering while maybe thinking of some girl. 

"Look at this." Hiruzen gave Jiraiya the file he had just seen. 

Hiruzen knows that this disciple of his was not as stupid as he looked, but his wisdom was ranked under his carefree disposition.

Jiraiya took it casually, and then threw it back indifferently said, "Old man, what about it?"

"This kid is very talented." Hiruzen said. 

"Well, he's indeed talented, he's almost the same as Minato when he just graduated," Jiraiya said. 

Hiruzen heard Jiraiya's words and knew what he meant. 

'I already have Minato on this side, so don't try to jam me.' 

"Sigh, let's talk about Sunagakure then." Since it was obvious that there was no really common ground with this disciple on this issue, Hiruzen had to change the topic. 

... 

After meeting the next day in the morning, Asahi was told by Ueno that the village ranked the information gathered by Asahi in this mission as very dangerous, so he got a 2 week vacation and the mission-rank this time went from C-Rank to B-Rank. 

But not having a mission doesn't mean that there was nothing to do. On his way back to the village yesterday, Ueno told his plan to guide his team in their training. 

As their Jonin teacher, guiding his team in training was also one of Ueno's responsibilities. And the future achievements of this team would also be recorded in Ueno's archives, which would also be extremely beneficial if Ueno tries to get a political career in future. 

After arriving at the training grounds, Keita went to practice Gentle Fist alone. 

Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist was unique in the entire ninja world. Even if Ueno was a Jonin, Keita could not be guided on Gentle Fist. 

So Ueno, for now, only needed to teach Asahi and Shinohara. 

After the last mission, Ueno also had some understanding of Asahi's level. Although he was a few years younger than Shinohara, in terms of ninjutsu's use and tactical design, Asahi had completely surpassed Shinohara. 

So these two people could be guided together. 

"How much do you understand chakra?" Ueno asked. 

"Chakra is the basis for using jutsu. It consists of spiritual energy and physical energy. Chakra's attributes can be divided into ..." When Shinohara was in academy, he had a good theoretical score. So when he heard Ueno's question, he answered them casually. 

"Very good." Ueno praised, and then looked towards Asahi, and asked, "How do you understand chakra?" 

He pondered, and said, "The academy answer has already been said, but I also have some understanding about it myself. Chakra is a very magical energy. In addition to being able to convert into natural elements such as wind, thunder, water, fire and soil, it can also be very malleable. When in academy, I have seen that a student of Akimichi clan can use Secret Jutsu to make his body bigger, and Keita's Byakugan also makes use of chakra, so it should still have a lot of mysteries, and people needed to unlock it step by step. For example, the formation of ninjutsu, using chakra in a certain way will release ninjutsu but as for the reason behind it, it is still unknown." 

"..." After hearing Asahi's words, Ueno had no idea how to answer. 

The mystery of chakra, Ueno was also confused. Although Ueno was a Jonin of the village, and he knows how to use ninjutsu, but he doesn't know why it acts so. 

Ueno only knows that hand seals could release ninjutsu by using chakra, but as for why hand seals could release ninjutsu by guiding chakra, he had never studied it. 

After all, in the ninja world not everyone was like Orochimaru, obsessed with research. 

Although he was a ninja, he only lived life day after day normally. He never thought about studying the mysteries of ninjutsu and chakra. 

"Then what do you think of the mysteries of chakra?" Ueno curiously asked.
