The ninja who was stopped hesitated slightly. He looked at the backs of Xingliu and the others, then at his own companions, but ultimately did not go forward to disturb them.
Tsunade and the others were quite excited because it was their first time leaving the village. They walked forward chatting and laughing, unaware of what was happening around them.
Xingliu, however, noticed all of this carefully.
He turned his head, nodded slightly to the two ninjas, and gave them a friendly smile.
They then left and embarked on a new journey.
Only the two gatekeepers remained, watching their backs disappear from sight, their faces showing excitement.
Leaving the familiar Konoha for the first time, Tsunade, Nono, and Osamu were like birds released from their cages, full of energy and curiosity.
Their eyes darted around, and anything caught their attention.
But as time went by, the scenery along the way began to become monotonous and repetitive.
Those landscapes that seemed novel at first sight become commonplace after a long journey, losing their initial charm.
Moreover, the long walks gradually made them feel mentally exhausted, and the novelty and excitement were replaced by boredom and tedium.
Tsunade was getting tired of the long journey and hoped to reach her destination as soon as possible.
So she ran to Xingliu's side, tugged at his sleeve, and said in a coquettish tone:
"All-powerful Starflow, is there any way to get directly to the Land of Snow?"
Xingliu turned to look at Tsunade, a helpless smile on his face, and joked:
"Have you forgotten that we didn't come out here just to have fun? How are we supposed to complete the mission if we just go straight there?"
Nono, who was standing next to her, also felt that there was nothing wrong with traveling like this, and she was able to endure the loneliness.
Therefore, instead of supporting Tsunade, they supported Seiryu.
"Hikari is right. Tsunade-neechan, just bear with it a little longer, we'll be in a new town soon."
Zhili, on the other hand, silently watched Xingliu the whole way, her gaze never leaving his face.
It was as if, in her eyes, only Xingliu existed.
This focused and affectionate gaze made Xingliu feel somewhat uneasy; he was afraid that he would follow in Cheng Ge's footsteps.
Seeing that no one supported her ideas, Tsunade couldn't help but pout in frustration.
Seeing Tsunade's dejected look, Xingliu couldn't help but find it a little funny.
He smiled mysteriously and said:
"Okay, although I can't teleport there directly, I have another way."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately became excited:
"Really? What's the solution?"
Seeing Tsunade's anticipation, he simply stopped walking.
After looking around, he gestured to the three women to step back a bit.
The three women trusted Xingliu completely. Although they were somewhat confused, they quickly retreated as instructed, keeping a distance from Xingliu.
Then Xingliu took a deep breath, and the chakra within his body began to circulate rapidly.
He shouted and slammed his palm down on the ground:
"Psychic art!"

There are 13 chapters left, and one or two more tonight.
Chapter 129 Chongming's Approval
As the sound faded, a huge shadow rose from the ground, sunlight refracting across it in seven colors.
That was a massive tailed beast, the Seven-Tailed Chongming!
Its body is covered with a thick carapace, its eyes are blood red, and its seven huge tails swirl behind it, releasing powerful shockwaves that blow the surrounding trees to the side.
However, at that moment, a giant arm formed by Susanoo descended from the sky and struck the Seven-Tails, Chōmei, hard.
"Didn't I tell you to keep a low profile? Why are you making such a big fuss?"
The Seven-Tails Shigeaki was struck hard by this blow, its massive body crashing to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
It raised its head angrily, its crimson eyes revealing its stubbornness.
But when it saw the attacker's face, its stubbornness was instantly suppressed and turned into submission and awe.
Upon seeing this, Tsunade and the other two women covered their mouths in surprise, their eyes filled with shock.
Tailed beasts, those legendary powerful and ferocious beings, were now obediently lying on the ground, being summoned by Xingliu as summoning beasts.
Moreover, this Seven-Tailed Jumei was surprisingly docile, a far cry from the image of tailed beasts they had imagined.
If the Seven-Tails heard this, it would probably start cursing.
Anyone who gets brutally beaten for an hour will have to back down.
Xingliu looked at Nanami Chongming with a smug smile on his face, then turned to the three women and said:
"Well, the Seven-Tails is the only one of the tailed beasts that can fly. We can ride it and travel quickly."
Upon hearing that it was to be used as a mount, Chongming became furious for a moment, then rolled over and lay flat.
Tsunade and Nono looked at the Seven-Tails' massive body and unruly appearance with a hint of disdain on their faces.
They were all girls, and naturally they didn't have a good impression of this strangely shaped creature that looked like an insect.
However, its governance is different.
She looked at Shigeaki Nanao, her eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
She took a step forward and said to Xingliu, "Can I try it first?"
Seeing her expression, Xingliu asked with great interest:
Don't you hate it?
Upon hearing this, Zhi Li paused for a moment, then replied matter-of-factly:
"Of course I don't dislike it! The Seven-Tails can not only fly, but it's also very beautiful!"
Her answer surprised Seiryu, and also baffled Tsunade and Nono.
Xingliu turned his head and looked at the Seven-Tailed Chongming lying to the side. It was a huge creature with a body covered with a thick carapace, bloodshot eyes, and seven huge tails waving behind it.
He simply couldn't associate this tailed beast with the word "beautiful".
A string of question marks appeared above his head, as if asking, "Are you sure you're talking about the seven-tailed fox in front of us?"
Tsunade and Nono looked at Guri in disbelief, unable to comprehend his aesthetic sense.
Seeing their reaction, Zhili was somewhat puzzled. She pointed to Nanao Shigeaki and then explained:
"Doesn't it look just like a butterfly? Aren't butterflies beautiful?"
In Zhili's eyes, although Nanami Shigeaki had a peculiar appearance, her seven huge tails reminded her of butterfly wings, and that unique beauty made her want to get closer.
Xingliu was speechless; Zhili's answer was truly unexpected.
He glanced at the Seven-Tailed Beast lying on the ground and noticed that the beast had turned its head and was looking at him with its crimson eyes.
Its eyes seemed to reveal a complex emotion, as if it had been touched by the ruler's sincere words.
Zhili, however, did not feel anything was wrong. She walked to the side of the Seven-Tailed Fox and gently stroked its shell, as if comforting an injured child.
Her movements were gentle yet firm, full of kindness and respect.
"My name is Uchiha Ryougi. What's your name?"
Her voice was clear and gentle, as if it could penetrate the Seven-Tailed Fox's hard shell and reach its heart.
Nanami did not answer the question immediately, but simply watched Zhili.
After a while, just as a hint of disappointment flashed in Zhili's eyes, Nanami's voice suddenly rang out.
"My name is Chongming, Nanami Chongming, remember that, little girl?"
Upon hearing this, Zhili's face immediately broke into a bright smile.
She said happily, "I've remembered, your name is Chongming. From today onwards, you are my friend!"
The words of governance were as warm as sunshine, touching Chongming's heart with a long-lost feeling.
It was as if it had returned to the distant past, when there was not so much conflict and hatred between the nine tailed beasts and humans.
In a daze, Chongming seemed to hear the voice of the Sage of Six Paths, the words of wisdom left by the god who created them:
"You nine tailed beasts should live in harmony with humans, respecting and understanding each other."
However, after repeated betrayals and injuries, the tailed beasts lost trust in humans and gradually became cold and hostile.
But now, the emergence of governance has given Chongming renewed hope.
Xingliu watched from the side, sighing inwardly.
He knew that the prerequisite for becoming a perfect Jinchuriki was gaining the approval of the Tailed Beasts, but that was by no means a simple matter.
Over the course of millennia, the tailed beasts have become filled with hostility and distrust towards humans.
The existence of Jinchūriki, in particular, is undoubtedly a great threat and constraint to Tailed Beasts.
However, the governance in front of her achieved this; she touched Chongming with her sincerity and kindness, making it willing to establish a friendship with her.
This pure power also shocked Xingliu, who even felt a sense of admiration for it.
After all, he can only persuade people with reason, not govern them to this extent.
After that, Chongming let the governance slowly climb onto his body.
After the ruler sat down, its huge body trembled slightly and then it took off into the air.
Zhili gasped in surprise at first, but when she felt the thrill of flying, she immediately burst into happy laughter.
The laughter was crisp and melodious, echoing in the air like silver bells.
Hearing Zhili's laughter, Chongming was also very happy. Its huge body tumbled and danced in the air, as if showing off its flying skills.
