"Where did you learn Sakumo-senpai's swordsmanship?" Within the Senju clan's territory, Tsunade watched as Tatsuma skillfully wielded a short knife, feeling puzzled. Although she didn't understand swordsmanship, she could recognize the similarities between Tatsuma's movements and those of Sakumo Hatake.

Tatsuma paused at the question and replied, "I met Sakumo-sama yesterday, had a chat, and he generously shared the essentials of swordsmanship with me."

"Oh." Tsunade nodded without delving deeper. In fact, Tatsuma's approach of seeking to learn from others after already having a master was somewhat impolite, whether it was towards Tsunade as his sensei or towards Sakumo Hatake.

However, their master-disciple relationship was unique. Tsunade had little to teach Tatsuma; super strength required a high physical condition, and regardless of Tatsuma's peculiar physical talents, his current level didn't meet the learning requirements, at least for now.

Tsunade excels in only two areas: one is Taijutsu, with her powerful punches that complement her super strength, and the other is Medical Ninjutsu. Tsunade can sense that Tatsuma is not particularly interested in medical Jutsu.

Even though, in the past six months, Tatsuma has demonstrated remarkable Chakra Control abilities, surpassing his peers, and has learned some Medical Ninjutsu, including challenging techniques like the Mystical Palm Jutsu and chakra scalpel, due to his aptitude for Ninjutsu learning.

However, these are just superficial aspects of Medical Ninjutsu. To delve deeper, one must study various medical disciplines such as human anatomy, surgery, genetic diseases, medical imaging, and more. It's a lifelong learning process. Tatsuma, however, does not seem to have the will to inherit these skills, so Tsunade hasn't delved into teaching him extensively. She has only taught him some clinical Medical Ninjutsu and shared numerous medical cases.

As a result, the interaction between master and disciple has dwindled, with daily card games being their main form of communication. After all, Tatsuma has surpassed Tsunade, his sensei, even in Sealing Jutsu.

Therefore, Tsunade doesn't object to Tatsuma learning from Jiraiya or studying under Sakumo Hatake now. After all, if she were to oppose it, she would have to face opposition from her own grandmother.

Seeing Tsunade remaining silent, Tatsuma continued with his training. The Academy had reopened, and Nawaki and Kushina had returned to school. Minato, who seemed to be on a mission, hadn't come back yet, leaving Tatsuma alone in his training.

However, in the past half year, Tatsuma's upper limits had significantly increased. Now, he required a substantial amount of time to manifest his talents, so he didn't find it boring at all.

Many people tend to give up on learning or persevering in something, and a significant portion of the reason is the inability to see their own progress or the progress of the situation.

But Tatsuma was different. With his systematic approach, he could see his progress every day, giving him extra motivation in his training. Compared to before, even the system panel had undergone significant changes since his time in the Senju Clan.
