Naruto: Nara's skill set is incredibly sneaky.

Port of the Land of Demons.

Lu Shi and Zhu Yin stood by the boat waving.

"Little Miroku, I'm entrusting the Land of Demons to you. If anything comes up, come find me in Konoha!" Akane said loudly in farewell.

Miroku replied loudly, "Don't worry, Lady Akane, I will definitely protect the Land of Demons!"

The ship gradually sailed away.

Zhu Yin watched the Demon Kingdom recede into the distance, a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"I can't bear to leave, why don't you stay?" Lu Shi hugged Zhu Yin, his voice gentle.

"There's nothing to be reluctant about. I'm no longer the priestess of the Land of Demons, and we've already promised to stay together forever."

"Um."

The journey to Konoha was smooth sailing.

They returned to Konoha without any problems.

"What?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi stood up abruptly in shock. "You mean you turned the priestess of the Land of Demons into your familiar?"

Lu Shi nodded: "Mmm!"

"You've completely wiped out the demons too?!"

"right!"

"Where is the right thing to do?!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched slightly. "Do you even know that the priestesses of the Land of Demons are just like the daimyo of the Land of Fire? What are the other daimyo supposed to think of you doing this?!"

"Lord Hokage, I followed Shikatoki voluntarily, and I have already abdicated. The position of priestess of the Land of Demons has been taken over by someone else."

Zhu Yin offered an explanation, and casually took out the diplomatic documents from the Land of Demons from her backpack.

"This is proof of the good relations between the Land of Demons and the Land of Fire. I think this will prevent the Daimyo of the Land of Fire from having any wild thoughts."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the document, glanced at it, and sighed deeply. "That's all for now. Shikatoki, you take good care of the shrine maiden."

"Understood, we'll be going now."

"Go ahead, go ahead."

After leaving the Hokage Building, Shikatoki took Akane to the Nara clan.

"Akane, this is my uncle, who is also the head of the Nara clan. This is my cousin, Nara Shikaku," Shikatoki introduced.

Zhu Yin was equally unceremonious.

"Hello, Uncle! Hello, Cousin!"

Nara Shikashin's face lit up with a smile. "Okay, hello. I didn't know my niece-in-law was coming. Let's go out for a nice meal today."

"No need to trouble yourself, Uncle. I have an appointment with Minato and the others. I'm going to the Senju clan's territory soon."

Lu Chen did not insist upon hearing this.

"Alright, then I'll have your aunt cook you a nice meal in a few days." After saying that, Nara Shikashin waved to Shikatoki, "Come here, your uncle has a few words to say to you."

Lu Shi followed his uncle away, puzzled.

Reaching a corner, Shikanobu said softly, "You're something else! You managed to bring back the priestess from the Land of Demons, but what about Tsunade?"

The deer's body stiffened.

Actually, he didn't really want to be a scumbag.

But in that situation, who wouldn't be tempted?

"Sigh~! You'll have to handle it yourself."

"Okay, Uncle."

After exchanging a few words, Lu Shi and Zhu Yin left.

Nara Shikaomi watched the two walk away with a look of satisfaction, but when he suddenly saw the lazy Shikaku, his expression changed.

Nara Shikaku immediately became alert.

The moment the father and son locked eyes, Nara Shikaku had already vanished in an instant.

"Phew! That was close, I almost got caught in the crossfire again!" Shika wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Within the Thousand Hands Clan.

Minato and Kushina had arrived long ago. They each took a small stool and sat in the courtyard, staring intently at Shikatoki and Akane.

After introducing Zhu Yin to the two of them, Lu Shi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong with you two today?"

"Let's eat some melon seeds!" Kushina replied earnestly.

"What melon?" Lu Shi asked, puzzled, and suddenly felt a sense of danger.

Looking up, Tsunade had already descended from the sky; the chakra fluctuations were undoubtedly due to her monstrous strength.

Zhu Yin was one step faster than Lu Shi.

He quickly stepped back with the arm that had just grabbed the deer.

boom!

The yard, which was just a moment ago lush and green, is now covered in mud.

"Nara Deer Time!"

Tsunade was very angry, especially when she saw Akane.

It's like two people who like each other, but the guy goes on a business trip and comes back with a girlfriend.

"Tsunade-neechan, calm down!" Shikatoki quickly waved his hand.

Zhu Yin stood directly in front of Lu Shi.

"You little brat!" Tsunade retorted without any politeness.

Zhu Yin mobilized the power of the demons, and the two began to fight directly.

However, Akane hasn't experienced many battles, and compared to experienced and powerful ninjas like Tsunade, she still falls short.

They quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.

Seeing that both sides were getting heated, Lu Shi immediately activated his Sage Mode and stepped in between.

They stopped one with each hand.

"Stop! Let's go see Grandma Mito first. I'll explain everything during dinner!" Shika said with a serious expression, even one that left no room for refusal.

This caused Zhu Yin and Tsunade to exchange a glance and both give up.

Lu Shi also breathed a sigh of relief.

Mito Uzumaki emerged while the two were fighting.

"How energetic!" Mito Uzumaki laughed. "It seems that Shika Toki doesn't want to release Akane, nor does she want to give up Tsunade."

Shika, having his thoughts laid bare, smiled somewhat awkwardly. "Grandma Mito, all I can say is that I will take both Akane and Tsunade very seriously."

"This is a matter for you young people. I'm too old to manage it."

Mito didn't care.

It was quite normal for powerful men to have multiple wives during the Warring States period.

Back then, countless ninja clans were eager to send their daughters to Madara Uchiha.

For some reason, Madara Uchiha liked to play with Hashirama Senju.

But Hashirama Senju was actually quite happy about it.

I really don't understand, who is his wife!

"Alright, you've seen it all, so don't bother this old woman anymore."

Mito Uzumaki gave them the order to leave.

In an eerie atmosphere, the group entered the Akimichi yakiniku restaurant.

Orochimaru had already ordered the food and was waiting for the deer.

"I feel like I've missed something." Orochimaru's hoarse voice slowly rang out.

The deer did not try to hide it.

In his view, there's no need to beat around the bush when it comes to matters of the heart.

He briefly recounted what had happened between him and Akane in the Land of Demons.

Tsunade's expression softened considerably after hearing this.

Kushina looked excited; this was just like the storybook.

Only Orochimaru's eyes blazed with an unprecedented intensity.

"I remember that monsters like the Wraiths are immortal! Miss Zhu Yin, would you allow me to draw a vial of blood for research?"

Zhu Yin felt goosebumps all over her body and subconsciously leaned closer to Lu Shi.

Shika sighed helplessly, "Orochimaru-senpai, why are you pursuing immortality again?"

"Again?" Orochimaru asked, somewhat puzzled. "I don't think I had this idea before. Besides, Shikatoki-kun is truly a researcher I admire. I only recently had this idea, and you've already discovered it."

"I feel that humans are too fragile. Even strong people like Madara Uchiha and the First Hokage died. Even the Sage of Six Paths died. I just suddenly wanted to study this topic."

Lu Shi could only lament the inertia of the plot.

"As for immortality, I do have a few methods you can consider."

At this stage, Orochimaru is definitely a good person, and Shikatoki has a good relationship with him.

Talking to him can help him avoid making the same mistakes.

"Oh? I didn't expect Shikatoshi-kun to have this kind of news."

Not just Orochimaru, everyone else was curious.

"First is Akane. Because she has merged with the demon, Akane has essentially gained endless life. However, that's because the demon is not replicable."

"Secondly, there is the secret technique of Takigakure, Earth Grudge Fear, which allows one to achieve immortality by taking the heart of another and repeatedly replacing it. The current user is Kakuzu, a rogue ninja from Takigakure."

"Kakuzu?" Tsunade rubbed her head. "I think I vaguely remember him. My great-grandfather mentioned him to me."

Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The thought of Kakuzu throwing away kunai 800 miles away and running away, only to brag to Kakashi about fighting Hashirama Senju and surviving, made Shikatoshi a little nervous.

He can't even boast that he beat Hashirama Senju? Bastard!

"I'll continue. There are also some extreme cases, such as the modification of human puppets. At the same time, the evil god cult in the Land of Hot Springs can also achieve immortality by signing a contract with the evil god, but the evil god has already been killed."

"Finally, my Sage Mode, because it replaces chakra, also has the effect of prolonging life. Whether it can grant immortality after a complete replacement, I'm not sure; it still needs further testing. That's about it."

Orochimaru listened with great interest.

Inspiration kept flowing through his mind, and he even forgot to eat the barbecue. "Thank you for letting me know, Mr. Lu Shi. I can't wait to go to the lab to study it. Goodbye."

Orochimaru left, and Tsunade looked at the deer.

"Have you finished eating?"

Lu Shi had just picked up a piece of grilled meat when he exclaimed, "Huh?"

"What?! Go pay the bill after you finish eating. I need to talk to Zhu Yin alone."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shi immediately got up to pay the bill.

Tsunade turned her gaze to Minato and Kushina, who were watching the drama unfold.

The moment the three locked eyes, Minato immediately stood up. "Kushina and I have something to do, so we'll be leaving now." With that, he pulled Kushina away.

The two went outside and happened to encounter a deer.

"You got kicked out?" Lu Shi laughed.

Minato scratched his head awkwardly.

"Let's go eat at Ichiraku Ramen, we haven't eaten enough yet."

The three left.

Tsunade and Akane sat facing each other.

Tsunade spoke first, "To be honest, there's a big age gap between me and Shikatoki, and I've always been a little unsure about my own feelings, so I've been putting it off."

"Until you came along, and I realized how much pain I was in, I was certain of my feelings, so..."

Akane interrupted Tsunade directly, "I won't give up."

"I'm not telling you to give up. What I'm saying is, let things take their course, and let's put our two sides on the same side. Once this door is opened, who knows if this guy will bring another girl back in the future."

Tsunade's words relieved Akane.

"it is good."

Once the conversation started, the two became more relaxed and chatted.

The relationship actually improved.

Tsunade even took Akane to gamble a couple of times. Unlike Tsunade, who consistently lost money, Akane had the ability to foresee the future, making her a bug-level existence.

The casino owner even suspected that Zhu Yin was cheating.
