Unbeknownst to Manoshi, his student, who achieved self-brainwashing in an unexpected incident, had been inspired to become a great figurine maker.
Right now, he was worried about the problem of the Crystal Release girl beside him.
"It's not like my hand is broken. There is no need to please me like this, is there?"
Reaching out and holding down the chopsticks that the young girl was reaching with, he picked up the tempura-fried shrimp he was pinching with the chopsticks in his bowl. Manoshi rubbed his temples with a headache.
Guren was in a very poor state of mind.
After a sudden misfortune, she pinned her feelings on Manoshi.
Although, strictly speaking, this wasn't a heroic rescue scenario; after all, Manoshi's goal was to find Tsunade, not her.
Therefore, he had to find a way to dispel the perception that 'Manoshi is dependable' in this young girl's mind.
"Actually, I do have some thoughts about your Bloodline Limit."
Guren's eyes lit up with expectation, "Really?"
"Probably ..."
The girl put down her chopsticks, acting like she was full.
At Guren's silent urging, Tsunade and Shizune also quickly put down their chopsticks.
Manoshi had no choice but to follow.
After eating lunch hastily, the group of people went outside.
"Can you try to condense the crystal into a convex lens?"
Manoshi drew a pattern on the open space behind the hotel with kunai; his sharp kunai turned over a lot of dirt on the ground.
"Convex lens? What's the use of that? "
Tsunade interjected curiously. All she knew was that it could be used to look at something far in detail.
Manoshi thought to himself, 'This Sannin doesn't even know the properties of a convex lens,' and chuckled.
"You're too foolish; convex lens, of course, is used to focus light."
"So, after gathering light, I can burn the enemy with sunlight! "
The Crystal Release girl, Guren, quickly remembered that she had seen someone burn ants with a magnifying glass.
'Wait, burning enemies?'
Manoshi froze. Feeling that the young girl was a little different from what he thought.
"Uh, it's a little hard to kill people with convex lenses, right? In fact, I was thinking that you can create a giant convex lens that gathers the sun's solar energy to heat water into steam to generate electricity ..."
"..."
"Why aren't you guys talking?"
Unable to see the expressions on Tsunade, Guren, and Shizune, Manoshi was puzzled.
Although he didn't know the solar photovoltaic power generation principle, using solar energy instead of thermal energy was still doable.
"No, it's nothing."
Guren looked at the small crystal lens condensing in her hand and wondered for the first time, did she make the wrong choice?
...
They stayed in Tanzaku Town for several days.
They agreed with Tsunade's plan to go to the Land of Rice Paddies to treat Daimyō's illness and pay off the gambling debt.
Manoshi and Hideyoshi Hyuga split up. One escorted Tsunade to the Land of Rice Paddies, and the other returned to deliver the message back to the village.
After curing the Daimyō of the Land of Rice Paddies, he was taken to the neighboring hot spring sanctuary in the Land of Hot Water in a befuddling manner.
In Tsunade's own words, 'What's wrong with taking a detour to relax in this rare period of peace?'
Of course, spa benefits weren't available.
A group of four people went south along the coastline of the Land of Hot Water.
Now, they had entered the border of the Land of Fire.
Walking in the forest, Guren held a white seashell in her hand.
Chakra gathered in the palm of her hand, the ability engraved in her bloodline ready for action.
Crystal Release!
The shells quickly started to turn from where they came into contact with Guren's palm and slowly turned into pink crystals.
Then it turned into powder and was scattered in the air by the wind.
"Can I get stronger with this method?"
The young girl sighed and looked at Manoshi, who was walking in front of her. This was the fifth time the teenager had given her advice on training.
The things he suggested before weren't feasible.
"Accurate control of the crystal wrapped around the exterior of an object without destroying the object itself doesn't make one stronger by any stretch of the imagination, does it? "
"Ahem, that's where you're terribly mistaken."
Manoshi explained without slowing down his steps.
"Have you ever heard of tree climbing and water-treading training?"
As he expected, Guren shook her head.
The girl had never experienced formal training and naturally wouldn't know these two essential ninja abilities.
In this way, Manoshi could also confidently and boldly fool around.
"Gather the chakra under your feet, and use the suction generated by chakra to walk on the trunk like walking on the flat ground."
He narrated, without stopping his feet, and stepped on a large tree on the side.
One step, two steps...
Guren's mouth opened wide in amazement as she watched Manoshi's entire body rising perpendicular to the ground.
"An ability like this can be used to improve a shinobi's control of chakra. The method I taught you is the same as this one."
"Really, Tsunade-san?"
The young girl was a little suspicious and looked at the large-breasted woman.
After a period of getting along with each other, Manoshi's credibility in Guren's heart kept decreasing.
But this sister, called 'Aunt' by Manoshi, and had a special desire for gambling, was very reliable.
"That's true, yes. Chakra control is one of the essential abilities of a shinobi."
Tsunade replied affirmatively.
Shizune also nodded, "I started training in climbing trees and treading water after I was promoted to Chūnin."
"I see. I will practice hard!"
The young girl fished out another shell from her waist.
Seeing this, Tsunade approached Manoshi and whispered close to his ear.
"Are you trying to trick her into making figures in your figurine store?"
"No, no. Don't talk nonsense."
Manoshi denied it outright.
How could he do such a thing?
'Crystal Release ability, as long as the user's chakra is strong enough, he or she will be one of the best Kage-level ...'
'Uh, well... the bloodline limit could be counted as a prestigious name.'
The ability to turn all substances that chakra comes into contact with into crystals sounds insane.
And crystal was something that could be developed for more functions, such as the previous lens.
In short, in Manoshi's opinion, Guren's strength could grow to the level of taking on the role of a Kage in a village.
As for processing flowers, insects, and shells and putting them into artificial amber with crystals, it was only a by-product of training.
And by the way, it enriched the variety of products.
"Ahem, I'm very serious about helping her."
"Sure--"
Tsunade straightened up with a disinterested look; she thought the kid had some new tricks up his sleeve.
"And she'll have to leave Konoha sooner or later."
It wasn't like he was treating her lightly, easily loving someone the moment he saw her. Manoshi couldn't marry Guren.
In Manoshi's plan, there was also a plan to 'foster' her within the self-proclaimed peace-loving Akatsuki organization.
But that would have to be after his field trip, and he had to determine if Akatsuki was harmless.
But there wasn't time.
There was plenty of time but no free time.
After returning to the village, his first priority was the matter of cooperation with other shinobi clans.
Then, there was the rectification of the culture in the police force that he had always wanted to do.
