Chapter: 55: Kushina becoming a Disciple

(T/N: Please consider reviewing this Fanfic, Thanks and appreciate all who support me)

(T/N: Enjoy!!)

Kushina nodded thoughtfully. "I understand, Senpai."

"Tch, too nosy."

Although Kurama liked what Asahi said in its heart, it maintained its stubborn and haughty demeanor.

Asahi nonchalantly smiled. He had finished his business, and it was time to get to the point. He wasn't idly making up stories for himself.

"I can actually teach you a technique to help you adapt to Kurama's chakra more quickly. However..."

"However what, Senpai?"

Asahi deliberately prolonged his tone, making the impatient Kushina couldn't help but ask.

Although she didn't know what happened between Asahi and Kurama, Kurama's performance just now had resolved an issue that had troubled her for many years.

This made Kushina extremely curious about the method Asahi mentioned for better accepting Kurama's power.

While knowing that there's no such thing as a free lunch, if she could fully master Kurama's power, she might be able to go on missions outside the village like Minato.

So, for freedom! Um... let's first hear what Senpai has to say.

Asahi looked deeply at Kushina. "However, this technique is a secret technique of my Tazuna clan's practice, a kind of closely guarded secret."

"Oh, I see."

Kushina felt somewhat disappointed. If it's a closely guarded secret, why mention it at all?

Kurama looked at Kushina in silence. She was usually a clever girl, but why did her brain fail her at such a crucial moment? Well, let's help them out.

"Hey, Kushina! Since it's a closely guarded secret, why don't you just ask Asahi to be your teacher? With his strength, he can teach you anything from any aspect."

And who knows, maybe you'll get to see some extraordinary worlds in the future.

Of course, Kurama didn't say the last sentence. It knew better than anyone what should and shouldn't be said.

Kushina was stunned by Kurama's words. Can she do that?

She looked at Asahi, somewhat surprised, and said, "Senpai, can you really do that?"

Asahi smiled. Kurama really gave him a good assist.

"Of course, if you become my disciple, you naturally become a member of the Tazuna clan, and you can learn the clan's techniques."

Kushina was tempted. In terms of seniority and strength, she should address Asahi as Senpai. If she becomes his disciple, it would be a great advantage for her. But...

"Well, forget it, Senpai. Although I really want to be your disciple, you know my identity. The village won't allow it, even if I want to."

Asahi chuckled nonchalantly. Whether Konoha agreed or not was Konoha's business. As long as Kushina agreed, other issues could be resolved.

"You don't have to worry about Konoha's issues. You just need to make up your mind. Since you don't have any formal mentorship, and I'm not a ninja from the village, I can discuss it with the Hokage."

"Really?" Kushina asked with excitement.

"Of course."

"That's great, Senpai! I'm willing to be your disciple."

Freedom, here I come!! Kushina exclaimed excitedly in her heart.

At this moment, Asahi unexpectedly felt a bit emotional. Taking a disciple was really troublesome. Fortunately, Kushina agreed readily; otherwise, he, Asahi, would have lost face today.

"Okay, let's do the master-disciple ceremony."

Asahi said directly, cutting through the complications to avoid any future troubles.

Once Kushina became his disciple, she would be considered a member of the Tazuna clan. Even if Konoha didn't agree, it wouldn't change the fact, certified by the system.

Kushina hesitated, "Ah, Senpai? Here? Isn't it too informal? Shouldn't the master disciple ceremony be prepared for a long time?"

Asahi shook his head. Prepare outside? What if there were obstacles from Konoha? His plan to take in a disciple might be delayed.

"No need. Our Tazuna clan doesn't have so many formalities. I took in my three previous disciples very succinctly."

"Moreover, how serious can a place be when the ceremony is in the spiritual space? Isn't it more solemn to accept a master from the soul?"

"Also, I probably won't stay in Konoha for too long. Details like these take too much time to prepare."

Hearing Asahi's firm words, Kushina couldn't find words to retort for a moment.

She could only agree repeatedly and immediately began preparing for the ceremony.

Different from the three orphans from humble backgrounds, Kushina, from a traditional ninja clan, knew well the etiquette of becoming an apprentice.

However, when Asahi said that the Tazuna clan didn't have so many rules, he meant it. He didn't like unnecessary formalities.

"Alright, don't make it so complicated. It's the thought that counts. 

Just put your hand on your heart and solemnly bow at me while recognizing me as your teacher. Keep it simple

Asahi stopped Kushina, who was brainstorming on how to prepare the master-disciple ceremony.

Kushina was puzzled, "Huh? Is this okay?"

"Of course, I told you Tazuna doesn't have so many rules. If you talk about rules, there are only four." Asahi smiled and continued.

"First, never deceive or harm your master!"

"Second, do not engage in evil deeds!"

"Third, do not bully the weak!"

"Fourth, do not harm fellow disciples!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kushina immediately put her hand on her chest and bow in front of Asahi almost 90 degree

Seeing this, Asahi was stunned. She was just preparing a formal master-disciple application a moment ago, and now she's doing it so simply?

Aren't you supposed to insist a bit more and then simplify everything under my strong request?

Doing it this way makes me feel like you're perfunctory.

What Asahi didn't know was that Kushina had struggled to recall a master-disciple application she had seen before. 

However, all her past experiences were dedicated to learning sealing jutsu, and glancing over master-disciple applications was just a casual thing during leisure time.

When Asahi said to do it simply now, it made Kushina ecstatic. In terms of being easy-going, Kushina was quite similar to Naruto.

As for those four rules, could they really be called rules?

"I am Kushina Uzumaki, a shinobi from the Leaf Village, paying my respects to Master."

After saying that, she stood straight up and looked at Asahi with a smile while her hand was still on her chest.

(T/N: I change the ceremony scene. Think of it like an AOT salute scene) 

What else could Asahi do? Of course, he agreed.

"Well, good."

"Thank you, Master."

"Ding, host accepts Kushina Uzumaki as a disciple, talent level S, reward: Secret Art - Genjutsu: Kyoka Suigetsu.]

As Asahi formally took Kushina as his disciple, the system also emerged, making Asahi have a smile on his face.
