Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Nintaijutsu can be considered a combination of ninjutsu and taijutsu. However, this form of taijutsu is extremely rare and acquiring it is exceptionally difficult.

The most famous example of Nintaijutsu is the Fourth Raikage's use of the Lightning Release Armor, which perfectly merges lightning chakra with taijutsu, resulting in a massive boost to both the power of taijutsu and ninjutsu.

As for whether Konoha has any strong Nintaijutsu, Jiraiya isn't sure. Even if there is, it would likely be mastered by the various prominent clans. Getting access to it would be no easy feat.

Konoha's most famous technique, the Eight Gates, isn't considered Nintaijutsu, it's purely taijutsu. Even when all eight gates are opened, the attacks do not use chakra. They rely purely on the friction of taijutsu against the air. Attacks like Morning Peacock, Afternoon Tiger, and Evening Elephant don't contain any chakra-based properties.

To be honest, the Eight Gates is undoubtedly the strongest form of taijutsu, it's almost outrageously powerful. Jiraiya can only hope that system rewards him with Nintaijutsu. If not, he'll have to get it from Tsunade or Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Tsunade's grandfather, the Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, created countless jutsu, so there's a good chance she has access to Nintaijutsu. As for Hiruzen Sarutobi, coming from a prestigious family, he worked with Danzo to quietly eliminate many clans after becoming Hokage, accumulating a considerable amount of techniques and secrets.

To get Tsunade's help, Jiraiya would first need to strengthen their relationship. The best way to do that? Subdue her completely—make her fall for him.

As for Sarutobi, he would need to show more talent so that Sarutobi would be willing to invest resources in him.

Once Jiraiya had his thoughts in order, he decided to visit Tsunade's house. If he left early enough, he could even score a free breakfast. As a member of the prestigious Senju clan, her family's meals would surely be extravagant.

The Senju residence was located in the heart of the village, with a vast expanse of land. However, compared to the nearby Uchiha clan residence, it seemed somewhat underwhelming.

After Senju Hashirama and Tobirama's deaths, the Senju clan had rapidly declined. They no longer produced any major ninja, and their numbers were extremely low. The clan had been pushed out of Konoha's inner circles, leaving them with little to no influence. This was all thanks to the intentional suppression by Sarutobi and Danzo.

Sarutobi taking Tsunade as his apprentice was also a way to comfort the Senju clan, showing them that they still had a chance to return to the core of Konoha. If they hadn't done that, a few rebellious Senju ninjas might have defected and become rogue ninjas.

The Senju clan's downfall was mainly due to the inability to inherit Hashirama's Wood Release kekkei genkai. If someone had inherited it, the clan wouldn't be in such dire straits. On the other hand, the Uchiha clan's Sharingan kekkei genkai was stable and easy to inherit, which was why their numbers and influence had remained strong.

The Uchiha clan now controlled the village's police force, which had more authority than the Hokage's Anbu. If the Anbu wanted to arrest a Konoha ninja, they needed the Hokage's approval. The Uchiha police, on the other hand, could act independently, capturing ninjas and bringing them straight to the Hokage.

It was because of this overwhelming power that the Uchiha clan eventually faced annihilation at the hands of Konoha's higher-ups.

The Senju and Uchiha were the two most powerful clans when Konoha was founded, but now the Senju had fallen so far that it was almost tragic.

Arriving at Tsunade's house, Jiraiya noticed two civilians standing guard by the door. To be honest, having civilians guarding the entrance of the Senju clan's residence was a bit beneath them. The Uchiha clan, next door, had chunin guarding their core members' homes.

"I'm here to see Tsunade."

Jiraiya approached and said.

"Are you Jiraiya-sama?" one of the civilians asked politely, his tone full of respect.

Jiraiya nodded.

"Tsunade-sama has already given instructions. When Jiraiya-sama arrives, you can go right in."

The civilian opened the gate and led the way with great reverence.

'Such a large courtyard,' Jiraiya thought as he followed the civilian. After walking for a while, they were still in the front yard. The garden featured rocks, flowing water, pavilions, and lotus ponds—everything you could ask for. Compared to his own place, it felt like a paradise.

'I really don't want to try anymore. Just sponsor me,' Jiraiya couldn't help but think.

After a while, the civilian led him to a training ground.

"Jiraiya-sama, Tsunade-sama is already inside waiting for you. You can go in."

"Thanks for the guidance," Jiraiya smiled and said before pushing open the door to the training ground.

'What a damn capitalist,' Jiraiya muttered under his breath as he took in the sight. The training field was vast—several times larger than the one behind the Hokage building. The equipment available to ninjas was top-notch, but the place was almost deserted, with only a few Senju clan ninjas training.

It almost seemed like the Senju clan had used up all their luck with the deaths of Hashirama and Tobirama. After their passing, the clan had no more talented ninjas. Tsunade and her brother, Senju Nawaki, were the only ones with decent talent, but Nawaki had been killed during the Second Great Ninja War. His body was mutilated beyond recognition, and it was likely Danzo who had orchestrated it in order to obtain Hashirama's cells.

In the original Naruto storyline, Danzo had transplanted some of the Senju cells and was able to use Wood Release, though the power was weak.

Jiraiya soon spotted Tsunade, practicing shuriken shadow clones but clearly struggling to make any progress.

"Tsunade, you're rushing it with the chakra infusion. At this rate, you'll never master this technique."

Jiraiya couldn't help but offer his advice after watching for a while.

"Just tell me how to fix it. I didn't ask you to lecture me," Tsunade huffed, clearly irritated.

Jiraiya was about to grumble in response, but then his eyes wandered to Tsunade's ample chest, and all his frustration melted away.

"You're right. You're always right."
