#138 - Chapter 138: Training at Myoboku Mountain
Luo Sha expressed his thoughts about trains, or rather, lightning carriages.
Simply put, it involves laying tracks on land and then using lightning or fire chakra—anything that can serve as a power source—to build vehicles that run on land.
The six people present were all stunned.
"What? Can't it be done?"
"No."
The one who answered was Guan Le.
"Reporting to Lord Kazekage, I and Mr. Shen Nong once considered this idea, but it was rejected because, given the terrain around Sunagakure, laying tracks in the desert is very difficult to do."
"I understand. So, it's a matter of geology? What if I have a way to change the geology, to turn the desert into land?"
Shen Nong and Guan Le were both stunned, and then a hint of fervor flashed in their eyes. Clearly, they both regarded the ability Luo Sha spoke of as the power of a Tailed Beast.
Shen Nong immediately said,
"If Lord Kazekage has such power, then, naturally, we can give it a try."
"Well, then I'll leave it to you. As long as you produce results, Sunagakure will not mistreat you."
After speaking, he looked at Shingu and said.
"Shingu, from now on, you will arrange for these six. Whatever they need, provide it to them as much as possible. If you can't make a decision, come to me."
"Yes!"
Shingu was also very sensible.
"Lord Kazekage, then I will take these few down."
The six achieved their purpose and bowed to Luo Sha to bid farewell.
After they all left, Maki then asked Luo Sha.
"Lord Kazekage, should we keep an eye on them?"
Luo Sha nodded.
"Keep an eye on them. Although these six fellows have ulterior motives, their technology is indeed what I need. Pick some smart people to be their assistants. It would be best if they could learn their techniques."
Maki immediately understood Luo Sha's meaning.
"I understand, Lord Kazekage. I will go and do it!"
"Yes, go and do it!"
After Maki left, Luo Sha summoned the nine members of the Anbu Mobile Unit.
Although Luo Sha was a transmigrator, he didn't necessarily remember many plot details, unless plot characters appeared and reminded him, like in this situation.
"I have two tasks for you. First, investigate the relevant information about the Sky Ninja Village, focusing on their technology and a monster called Zero-Tails. Second, investigate the relevant information about the Takumi Village, focusing on their founder and some techniques for crafting special ninja tools..."
"Yes!"
Watching the nine members of the Anbu Mobile Unit leave, Luo Sha also became expectant.
Whether it was the power of the Zero-Tails or the scientific ninja tools of the Takumi Village, they could greatly enhance him and Sunagakure.
However, those were all things for the future.
For now, improving personal and village strength was still the most important.
Next, the focus of his training would still be the Eight Gates.
In addition, he had already decided that he would also integrate the newly obtained Menreiki chakra fruit into the Divine Tree to increase the concentration of senjutsu energy in the Dragon Oasis, which could help Yekura and the others master senjutsu energy faster, and also speed up his own cultivation progress...

Fire Country, Konoha Village.
Due to the easing of the war on the front lines, Minato was finally able to withdraw from the front lines.
However, Minato knew that he had no time to rest. After coming down from the front lines, he only stayed at home for one day before finding his teacher Jiraiya and requesting to go to Mount Myōboku to practice senjutsu. Jiraiya naturally agreed.
Thus, as soon as day broke, Jiraiya came to Minato's house.
"Hehehe, I didn't disturb you two lovebirds, did I!"
As soon as he walked in, seeing the radiant appearance of his disciple and Kushina, Jiraiya's face was covered with a lewd smile. This made Kushina's cheeks flush red, and a vein popped on her forehead. Minato was a little embarrassed and invited Jiraiya in, warmly saying.
"Jiraiya-sensei, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? Have some with us!"
Jiraiya, of course, would not be polite.
"Mm-hmm, I haven't tasted Kushina's cooking yet!"
Thus, the master and disciple sat at the dining table, chatting, and Kushina helplessly went to the kitchen to busy herself.
Soon, Kushina prepared breakfast, watching the master and disciple eat, and asked.
"Jiraiya-sensei, how long will you and Minato be gone this time?"
Jiraiya thought for a moment.
"That's hard to say. Senjutsu training is very difficult. Although Minato's talent is outstanding, I don't know how long it will take. But..."
Saying this, Jiraiya laughed and comforted.
"Although it's hard, at least you don't have to go to the battlefield, right?"
Hearing this, Minato's expression was a little dim, but Kushina breathed a sigh of relief.
Minato then asked.
"Jiraiya-sensei, I heard that the Kazekage of Sunagakure eliminated the monster Menreiki from the Demon Country! ?"
Speaking of this, the smile on Jiraiya's face also disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.
"That's right, it's truly unbelievable. That legendary monster actually exists. That's an existence even older than the Tailed Beasts. This Fourth Kazekage of Sunagakure is becoming more and more unfathomable."
"I heard from the Anbu people who collected the information that the Kazekage seems to have displayed techniques similar to the Four Violet Flames Formation and the Adamantine Sealing Chains?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiraiya's face froze, and Kushina's body trembled beside him.
Jiraiya, of course, knew the reason.
"Ah, if my guess is correct, the Four Violet Flames Formation should be the one Elder Danzo lost. As for the Adamantine Sealing Chains, it should be related to the Uzumaki girl that the Kazekage took away from Kusagakure."
This made Kushina's expression somewhat dim.
Although Kushina didn't know the name Hanataba because she was taken to Konoha at a very young age, just the identity of the Uzumaki clan made Kushina, who thought she was the only one left of the Uzumaki clan, feel that she was no longer alone.
She really wanted to meet this clansman of hers, but now the identities of the two...
Seeing this, Jiraiya also said some of the things he knew.
"According to some information we obtained from Kusagakure, when the Uzumaki clan was destroyed by Kirigakure, the head of the Uzumaki clan secretly sent some talented children out. That little girl named Hanataba should be one of them."
Looking at his wife's dim eyes, Minato also took the opportunity to say.
"Don't worry, Kushina, I will definitely try my best to help you find those clansmen scattered in the ninja world."
"Yes!"
Kushina gently nodded.
Thus, breakfast was quickly finished, and the two were about to set off.
Kushina originally wanted to see them off, but as soon as she walked out of the house, two Anbu ninjas appeared in front of her and stopped her.
"Sorry, Minato-sama, Jiraiya-sama, Kushina-sama cannot leave the barrier's range..."
Compared to the Anbu's previous tough attitude, the Anbu's tone was now much softer.
Because they also knew that the next Hokage would undoubtedly be Minato-sama in front of them.
Jiraiya then laughed and said.
"Alright, Kushina, you don't have to see us off. Fukasaku-sennin will summon us over with the Reverse Summoning Technique soon..."
"Yes, Kushina, wait for me to come back!"
Minato didn't say much, just hugged Kushina.
Thus, accompanied by a burst of smoke, Jiraiya and Minato's figures disappeared in place...
