The Strongest Master in Shinobi World (COMPLETED)

Don't be fooled by Asahi's current Chunin rank; thanks to his Sage Arts chakra, the power of his ninjutsu is on par with that of a Jounin. Moreover, he specializes in one of the most potent ninja techniques in the entire shinobi world – sealing jutsu.

These two sealing jutsu, while initially received as rewards, both fall under the category of B-rank ninjutsu mastery. However, with the catalytic effect of Sage Arts chakra, their potency rivals that of regular A-rank ninjutsu.

Therefore, with the combined effect of these jutsu, the security of the small wooden house has been preliminarily ensured. Considering the current timeframe, it could almost be said that the house is worry-free.

After catching his breath, Asahi looked at his handiwork and nodded in satisfaction. He made a mental note to teach the hand seals for entering and exiting the barriers to the three disciples tomorrow.

Feeling the considerable chakra depletion in his body, Asahi shook his head in resignation. 

'Ah, my strength still falls short.'

Asahi didn't return to his room because he had more tasks to complete, and he didn't want to disturb the three young ninja during their training and rest.

Sitting cross-legged at the entrance of the small wooden house, Asahi focused his chakra, allowing it to naturally replenish within him. In less than half an hour, he opened his eyes again.

Sensing the rejuvenated chakra within him, Asahi nodded in satisfaction. His strength had improved, even if only by a small margin, in this short period of time.

BOOM!

Suddenly, a thunderclap rang out, illuminating the sky for an instant. Asahi looked up at the overcast sky that threatened rain any moment and sighed. Ah, the life of a shinobi certainly had its challenges.

Initially, Asahi hadn't planned to resort to these measures, but with limited avenues to earn income for the time being, coupled with the substantial resources required for the three disciples' training, he had little choice.

Asahi shook his head in resignation. Ah, he had once thought he held an unbeatable hand, but life had a way of making him play the role of a big swindler.

Life, huh?

After these inner reflections, Asahi got up and sprinted westward. Becoming a ninja, especially after experiencing powers beyond Six Paths, had sharpened Asahi's reflexes significantly.

In the dense forest, Asahi moved like a monkey, leaping from branch to branch. With the surge of chakra enhancing his speed, he was faster than a speeding car. No wonder there were no cars in the ninja world; ninja speed was more than sufficient for missions spanning across the land.

Previously, he had thought that the world of Naruto was too small, but from his current perspective, it was the incredible speed of the shinobi that made the world appear compact.

As Asahi continued to traverse the forest, rain began to fall from the sky. His freshly dried clothes were soaked once again. He couldn't help but shake his head. Today, he seemed to be reliving all the rain he had endured over the past few decades.

Luckily, Asahi's vision soon caught sight of a village. As he approached, the village became clearer.

Tall buildings and industrial-looking drainage pipes all pointed to this being the Village Hidden in the Rain, led by a semi-divine figure of the shinobi world.

As Asahi's body drew closer to the entrance of the Rain Village, his speed gradually decreased. By the time he was almost at the village gate, he had shifted from a sprint to a leisurely stroll.

What had initially been an urgent matter now had to be played down, making him feel quite uncomfortable.

As Asahi slowly approached, two Rain Village shinobi suddenly jumped out from the shadows. They stood in front of Asahi, assuming combat stances, and asked, "Who are you? What's your intention in approaching our Rain Village?"

As long as Asahi made a wrong move, the two Rain Village shinobi would seize the opportunity to launch an attack. Unfortunately, Asahi had no intention of engaging in combat with them. After all, he was here to borrow money. It wouldn't do to beat up someone's subordinates before even saying a word.

"Go back and report to Hanzo, tell him that Asahi of the Tazuna Clan has arrived," Asahi instructed the two Rain Village shinobi.

Upon hearing Asahi's tone, both of the Rain Village shinobi were momentarily stunned. Was he giving us orders?

One of the more hot-headed Rain Village shinobi, without thinking, began to speak, "Who's this Asahi of the Tazuna Clan? Do you think you can just come here and..."

"Shut up!" Before he could finish his sentence, the other Rain Village shinobi quickly interrupted him, speaking in a hushed tone, "Brother, please stop. You're on an assignment this afternoon and not in the village. Lord Hanzo has given the order that if we encounter anyone from the Tazuna Clan, we should treat them with respect."

The hot-headed Rain Village shinobi clearly hesitated, "Is there really an Asahi of the Tazuna Clan? Who is he?"

"How should I know? But you'd better apologize quickly. Regardless of who they are, it's not someone we can afford to provoke."

"Right, right!"

The hot-headed Rain Village shinobi had clearly been intimidated and quickly bowed to apologize to Asahi.

I'm terribly sorry, sir. I was blind to not recognize your importance. Please forgive me," said the hot-headed Rain Village shinobi, bowing deeply.

Asahi waved it off dismissively, "No need to worry. Just remember it for next time. Go report to your leader now and tell them that Asahi has arrived."

"Yes, but please bear with us for a moment," the hot-headed shinobi said hesitantly.

"No problem, take your time," Asahi replied, unconcerned.

Seeing Asahi's understanding attitude, the hot-headed shinobi breathed a sigh of relief.

After a brief discussion with his companion, the hot-headed shinobi dashed towards the tallest tower in the village center, leaving the other Rain Village shinobi behind as an escort, or rather, as a monitor.

Asahi didn't mind and was busy planning how to deceive Hanzo later.

The Rain Village shinobi left behind to monitor Asahi was also torn. He knew that Asahi was an important person and wanted to strike up a conversation, but he was afraid Asahi wouldn't appreciate it. Both of them had their own thoughts, allowing the rain to pour down on them.

While the Rain Village shinobi was still pondering whether to strike up a conversation or not, an astonishing chakra fluctuation suddenly erupted from within the Rain Village.

This caught the attention of both Asahi and the Rain Village shinobi. They both knew that this chakra fluctuation belonged to Hanzo.

The fact that Hanzo-sama could release such a powerful chakra wave indicated that Asahi of the Tazuna Clan was indeed a remarkable individual!

However, it was a pity that they couldn't establish a closer relationship. Otherwise, they might have spared themselves decades of hard work.

The Rain Village shinobi sighed quietly in his heart, feeling a bit sentimental.

As for Asahi, he was a bit puzzled at the moment. What was going on with this Hanzo guy?

Why did he come here all excited and worked up? Did he want to fight me?

That shouldn't be the case. I made things clear with him last time.

If not that, then is he excited? Nervous? Overjoyed?

It seems like the impression I left on him last time was quite profound. Well, that means I don't need to come up with various ridiculous reasons to deceive him this time. That's good news, I suppose.

Asahi was silently contemplating this in his heart while maintaining a calm and composed appearance on the outside.
