However, what Zhili didn't notice was that although Tsunade's Advent of the Tree World had been mostly burned by her and Nono's combined ninjutsu, some remnants of branches still remained.

These branches slowly spread towards the site, as if they were alive.

Tsunade, who had done all this, smiled and continued to increase her chakra to repair the wood dragon.

The battle between the ruler and Tsunade has reached a stalemate.

One side attacks desperately, while the other side defends desperately.

However, at that moment, a cry of surprise came from Zhili's mouth.

She looked down and found that her body was firmly bound by the trees.

The trees were tied tighter and tighter, making it impossible for her to move.

Zhili struggled to break free of her constraints, but she found it was too late.

Tsunade had already arrived in front of her, and her fist slowly struck the top of her head.

The treatment closed its eyes, awaiting the onset of pain.

However, after a long while, she did not feel any pain.

When she opened her eyes, she found that Tsunade had already withdrawn her fist and was standing not far away, smiling at her.

Zhili's face flushed red, then dimmed again.

Tsunade untied the branches binding her, then whispered in her ear:

"I won this year, but there will be other opportunities in the future, right?"

Upon hearing this, a determined glint flashed in Zhili's eyes, as if he had regained his confidence.

She felt an invisible force burning within her, instantly igniting her fighting spirit.

Zhili took a deep breath, her clenched fist conveying her determination.

She nodded to Tsunade, indicating that she was fine.

At the same time, Xingliu walked over, his face beaming with an appreciative smile.

He looked around at the three of them, then praised them:

"The three of you are all truly outstanding. With your current strength, there are not many opponents in the ninja world who can defeat you."

Xingliu looked at Tsunade with a satisfied expression.

“Especially Tsunade, your strength has reached a very high level. Even Kage-level shikigami from other villages would not find it easy to defeat you.”

This ability, which far surpasses that of the original time and space, was all nurtured by him.

Aside from the Wood Release cultivation scrolls, most of the Bloodline Pills he had refined over the years were given to her.

Therefore, she was able to gain a significant lead over Nono and Guri.

Then, he turned to Jizhi and Nonou, and said gently:

“Governance, Nono, don’t be discouraged. You have already stood out among your peers and surpassed the vast majority of people.”

Although these two didn't consume as many resources as Tsunade, their strength at this point far surpassed that of a Jonin.

Even if you can't beat a Shadow, you can still protect yourself and retreat.

Chapter 124 Cheat Code, Kid

But Xingliu's words only earned him three pairs of glares.

He was unaware of the details of the battle, so he didn't know that what they cared about wasn't the strength of the opponents, but rather the agreement behind the battle.

He noticed that the three women's eyes all conveyed a sense of "what do you know?", which made him even more confused.

Xingliu blinked involuntarily and scratched his head.

This reaction made the three women chuckle softly.

Laughter echoed in the air, filling the place with a joyful atmosphere.

After laughing for a while, Tsunade walked over to Xingliu's side with a smile. She playfully looked up at Xingliu's eyes and asked:

"Team leader, now that we all know each other, what's the next step?"

Xingliu seemed a little stunned by Tsunade's question.

He really didn't anticipate what to do next.

However, Tsunade, Osamu, and Nono watched him with smiles, as if waiting for his decision.

He scratched his head and said:

"In that case, I'll treat you to something to eat."

This unoriginal suggestion caused a hint of disappointment to flash across the three women's faces.

They were clearly hoping that Xingliu could come up with a more creative idea.

However, Xingliu smiled mysteriously and continued:

"To celebrate the official establishment of our Class 7, I'll cook for you this time."

He spoke with great confidence, as if he had extremely high confidence in his culinary skills.

When the three girls heard that Xingliu was going to cook for them, a hint of excitement flashed in their eyes.

They had never tried Xingliu's cooking before, so they were very curious about it.

However, after the initial excitement, a look of hesitation appeared on their faces.

After all, in their memory, Xingliu had never cooked.

They weren't afraid of the food being unpalatable, but rather worried about getting poisoned from eating it.

Xingliu noticed the hesitation on the three girls' faces. He scoffed inwardly, thinking, 'A cheat code, kid! Doesn't he understand the value of a system?'

He knew that his culinary skills had undergone a systematic transformation and had now reached a very high level.

Although Tsunade and the others were unaware of this, they decided to believe Seiryu because of his confident demeanor.

Before long, the group returned to the Thousand Hands Mansion.

As soon as you step through the gate, a lively and adorable little radish coin attracts everyone's attention.

The little guy trotted along as if he had the wind on his feet, heading straight for Tsunade.

After running to Tsunade's side, he hugged her leg tightly without hesitation.

"Sister, you're back! Can you play a ninja game with me for a while?"

Tsunade looked at the little guy in front of her with a doting smile on her face.

She knelt down, gently ruffled the little one's hair, and softly uttered her words of refusal:

"No, I have things to do."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shengshu's mouth twitched and his eyes immediately reddened.

He reluctantly let go of Tsunade, turned around and ran to Seiryu, hugging his leg tightly as well.

"Brother, my sister won't play with me, can you play with me?"

Little Rope Tree's voice carried a hint of sobbing, as if she were seeking a final hope.

Xingliu looked at the little rope tree, a smile rising in his heart.

He crouched down to be at eye level with the little rope tree, gently patted its head, and said tenderly yet firmly:

"No, I have things to do too."

The little rope tree was rejected twice and was clearly struggling to cope.

His eyes reddened, his nose tingled, and tears of grievance began to well up in his eyes.

He bit his lower lip tightly, trying hard not to let the tears fall.

Xingliu chuckled as he looked at Xiaoshengshu's appearance.

He stretched out his finger and gently tapped the little rope tree's nose:

"If you cry, I'll tell Grandma Mito."

Upon hearing this, Little Rope Tree immediately held back her tears.

He pouted, feeling wronged, and forced back his tears.

His little face turned bright red, looking rather comical, which almost made everyone present laugh until they cried.

Tsunade and Seiryu fully demonstrated the fine tradition of "beating up your younger brother early."

At this moment, Nono said with a hint of reproach:

"How can you two act like an older brother and sister? All you do is bully Rope Tree."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade and Seiryu showed a hint of guilt on their faces.

They exchanged a glance and tacitly decided to change the subject.

Xingliu chuckled and changed the subject:

"Didn't you ask me to cook for you? Let's go."

Tsunade immediately chimed in, nodding repeatedly, "That's right, I'll take Xingliu to the kitchen."

As she spoke, she stood up, clapped her hands, and gestured for Xingliu to follow her.

Xingliu stood up as well, and waved to Nono and Kosei: "Then we'll go to the kitchen first."

The two turned and left, walking hurriedly, as if fleeing the scene.

Little Rope Tree watched their departing figures with a slightly puzzled expression, while Nonou shook her head helplessly and sighed softly.

Zhili was somewhat envious of their familiarity with each other, as she was the only one among them who did not live in this place.

Nonoyu, as expected of the orphanage director from another timeline, calmed down Nawaki with just a few words, bringing a smile back to his face.

Then she took Nawaki and Osamu to the kitchen.
