Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 186 Tsunade Prepares for Retirement (Third and Fourth Updates)

"Almost there."

Yu Nu Zhihui opened her eyes.

After two and a half years of training, he has reached the limit of the fourth stage, and is only one step away from the fifth stage.

But this step is not so easy to break through.

The cultivation of a Gu Master becomes slower and slower as one progresses.

He felt that his top-tier qualification was no longer sufficient.

Above Grade A Qualities lies the legendary Ten Absolute Physiques.

Yu Nu Zhihui wasn't quite sure if his system would give such a reward.

He looked up at the snow outside the window.

The snow fell all night, turning the entire leafy area white.

"Zhihui".

As he pondered, the sound of silence came from outside the door.

Shiki Aburame came to her senses and changed into a kimono.

Today is the first day of the new year.

According to custom, people go to the mountains or the seaside to greet the sunrise.

Aburame Shiki opened the door, and Shizune, dressed in a red kimono, came into view.

"Happy New Year."

A smile appeared on Shizune's face.

"Are you wearing it?"

Oil Girl Zhihui lowered his head and whispered in her ear.

With the three years from the dragon vein, he will come of age in a few days.

His height has also increased dramatically, now exceeding 1.8 meters.

Silent isn't short, he's 1.68 meters tall.

But compared to him, they paled in comparison.

He had to bend over to barely look straight ahead.

"I...I'm wearing it..."

Shizune's heart skipped a beat, her face flushed red, and she looked completely flustered.

"Let me take a look."

Oil Girl Zhihui had a big smile on her face.

Silent's entire face turned red to the roots of her ears.

She slowly reached out, grasped the kimono, and pulled it up a bit, revealing long, white stockings.

From her jade-like feet all the way down to the lace-trimmed leggings at her thighs.

Normally, a kimono is worn with white ankle socks and geta (wooden clogs), not white stockings.

This is the request of Zhihui, the oil worker.

After two and a half years, Jingyin had gotten used to his teasing.

Instead of refusing, she found it incredibly exciting.

"Is that kid awake yet? Hurry up and come eat, or you'll miss the sunrise."

Tsunade's impatient voice suddenly rang out in the living room.

Shizune was startled and quickly laid her clothes down to cover her white stockings.

She took a deep breath and answered loudly, "Coming right away!"

After dealing with Tsunade, Shizune noticed the smile on Aburame Shiki's face.

She glared at him and whispered, "It's all your fault! You pervert!"

"Is it my fault?"

Yu Nu Zhihui blew into her ear and said, "It was clearly you who didn't refuse."

Silently felt the heat coming from her ears and her legs suddenly went weak.

Her eyes seemed to be misty as she said, "You...you're talking nonsense!"

"This is a huge injustice!"

Oil Girl Zhihui lifted her chin and said, "But I don't have time today, I'll tell you the details another day."

He smiled, turned around, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Silent leaned against the wall and slumped to the ground.

Her body was so limp that she only regained consciousness after catching her breath a few times.

"Happy New Year, teacher."

When Zhihui entered the living room, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "You look so beautiful today!"

Tsunade changed into a tea-green kimono.

It's a traditional kimono, but on her, it exudes a mature charm.

Her figure is so stunning that it can't be hidden at all.

Tsunade looked at Shiki Aburame.

She was momentarily dazed.

She's really grown up.

Wearing a white kimono, he could be described as handsome and dashing.

"Hurry up and eat."

Tsunade snapped out of her daze and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Where should we go to watch the sunrise this year?

Yu Nuzhihui glanced at the unusually quiet silence.

She noticed his gaze, her body trembled, and she lowered her head even further.

I have a kind of Hinata Hyuga vibe.

"Hokage Rock".

Tsunade said without hesitation.

Why?

Yu Nu Zhihui was somewhat surprised.

"Your birthday is in two days, don't you have any plans?"

Tsunade looked up at him and asked.

"What are your thoughts?"

Aburame Shiki's gaze unconsciously shifted downwards, drawn to the bulging kimono.

"You brat!"

Tsunade was furious, and the character "井" (well) appeared on her forehead.

If it weren't for the presence of Jingyin, she would have definitely punched him twice.

"Feel sorry."

Yu Nuzhihui looked away.

"..."

Tsunade twitched the corner of her mouth.

It was perfectly legitimate to watch it.

When not watching, I instantly kneel down.

"I'm making you Hokage."

Tsunade took a deep breath, her kimono heaving slightly. "I've served for a long time; it's time for me to retire."

Despite the help of Shiki Aburame and Shikaku Nara, she still felt unfree.

Now that she's about to retire, she's already decided what she wants to do.

That means going to casinos and izakayas.

She wanted to drink heavily and gamble recklessly to make up for the pain she had endured for so many years.

"Let's talk about it after the New Year."

"That's what you're doing," said Zhihui, the woman from the oil shop, calmly.

"You'd better agree!"

Tsunade glared at him, her pale fist twitching slightly, and said, "Otherwise, you'll face the consequences!"

Silent chuckled upon hearing this.

The Hokage position, which everyone dreams of, has become a burden in the mouths of these two.

She had a strange sense of absurdity.

However, it doesn't matter who becomes Hokage, she will still have to serve as Hokage's secretary.

and many more.

Perhaps it's different.

Given the way Zhihui, the oil-loving woman, is behaving, her life probably won't be that easy.

As Shizune thought about this, a blush crept onto her face.

"I know."

Yu Nu Zhihui nodded.

Since Tsunade had already said so much, he naturally wouldn't go back on his word.

Although the job of Hokage is quite demanding, the position also brings many benefits.

When I wasn't Hokage, I was timid and hesitant, and I had to find ways not to reveal any weaknesses.

But if Shiki Aburame becomes Hokage, some things will no longer need explanation.

He could easily shut her down with a simple "I am the Hokage".

It allows for better integration with the original storyline.

"Alright then."

Tsunade's attitude softened, and a relaxed smile appeared on her face.

Finally, he passed the Hokage position to Shiki Aburame.

She'll be able to have fun properly from now on.

After breakfast, the three of them went out to Hokage Rock.

The sky was just beginning to brighten, and it appeared hazy and gray.

But Konoha Village is already quite lively.

Both villagers and ninjas prepared to go to the nearby mountains to greet the sunrise.

Upon arriving at the Hokage Rock, Tsunade looked towards Konoha Village, bathed in the morning light.

She felt a little emotional, having served as Hokage for so long, and was still not used to stepping down suddenly.

Oil Girl Zhihui didn't have as many thoughts as her.

He was taking stock of the harvest.

In the past two and a half years, nothing major has happened, so he hasn't achieved much.

But there were also four, and the rewards were pretty good.

[Achieve the "I love inventing" achievement for Uchiha Sasuke and receive the Golden Glow Gu as a reward.]

[Golden Glow Gu: A fourth-stage Gu worm that can generate golden light to increase the Gu Master's movement speed.]

This achievement was triggered last year.

Previously, Aburame Shiki had promised Uchiha Sasuke that he would help him awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan.

But after waiting a year, he couldn't wait to find him again.

Aburame Shiki recalled the S-rank Lightning Release ninjutsu Kirin created by Uchiha Sasuke in the original work.

This ninjutsu is called Lightning Release: Limit.

Despite some limitations, its attack power is maximized.

You Nu Zhihui then guided his excess energy to study the Qilin.

When he successfully performed it, he achieved something.

[Achieve the "Not a buddy" achievement for Shino Aburame and receive the reward: the Laborer's Bite.]

[Coolie Gu: A fourth-tier Gu worm, of the strength type. The more severely injured the Gu master is, the deeper the pain they feel, and the greater the strength they can unleash.]

Three months ago, Shino Aburame came to him for a sparring match.

Aburame Zhihui hadn't paid any attention at first, but then he suddenly entered a godlike state.

He almost crashed when he hadn't activated the Golden Robe Gu.

Shino Aburame's Sage Mode is quite unique.

Simply put, it's like a parasitic insect piloting his body and using Sage Mode.

He himself is unable to use Sage Mode.

This Sage Mode is quite powerful, but its weaknesses are obvious.

It requires all the parasites to be as one, maintaining a terrifyingly high rate of synchronization.

If Shino Aburame suffers severe damage to a part of his body, causing the parasites in that part to die, he will have to exit Sage Mode.

Despite its flaws, the Aburame clan's strength increased several times over as a result, so the advantages outweighed the disadvantages.

The reward that Yu Nu Zhi Hui received was a Kuli Gu (a type of insect).

A powerful Gu technique gave him the possibility of turning the tide.

When the enemy had beaten him half to death, thinking they could finish him off in the next second, he entered the second stage, and his power surged.

Who can stand this?

[Achieve the achievement of "directly embracing an ordinary person" and receive the reward of a Ten-Jun Power Gu.]

[Ten-Jun Strength Gu: A fourth-stage Gu worm that increases the Gu Master's strength by 300 jin.]

Six months ago, Ichiraku Ramen held a competitive eating contest.

Hinata Hyuga, Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, and a group of friends went to join in the fun.

Ultimately, as expected, Hinata Hyuga won.

During the awards ceremony, Yu Nuzhihui was grabbed and a photo was taken.

In short, this achievement was triggered in a very strange way.

But the reward was simple and direct: it added 300 pounds of strength.

[Achieve the "Healer's Compassion" achievement for Tsunade and receive the Heavenly Lotus Treasure as a reward.]

[Tian Yuan Bao Jun Lian: A fourth-stage Gu worm that continuously produces true essence and Yuan stones, known as a mobile Yuan spring.]

This achievement was triggered after Tsunade successfully transplanted a prosthetic limb using Hashirama cells.

The only downside was that it was too late.

If it had been triggered earlier, Aburame Zhihui might have entered the fifth-level Gu Master realm with the help of the Yuan Stone.

Regardless, the Tianyuan Baojun Lotus is absolutely priceless.

"I'm planning to throw a big party for your birthday."

Tsunade suddenly spoke up.

"How should we handle this?"

Oil Girl Zhihui was taken aback and asked.

"I would like to invite all the major ninja clans and Jonin to participate."

Tsunade explained.

"etc."

Aburame Shiki realized what was happening. "Are you planning to announce at the banquet that I'm the next Hokage?"

"It's not that direct."

Tsunade smiled and said, "I wanted to test their thoughts."

While it's true that Shiki Aburame is a genius, he is still too young.

Tsunade was worried that some people would be dissatisfied.

This birthday party is a great opportunity.

What do you think?

Tsunade looked at him.

"It's up to you."

After thinking for a moment, You Nuzhihui said.

"The sun is out."

Tsunade looked up at the sky.

Yu Nu Zhihui snapped out of his daze and glanced at it.

The newly risen sun was not dazzling, but appeared slightly reddish.

"There are so many people."

Silent noticed the dense crowd of pedestrians on the street.

Young girls and young women dressed in kimonos can be seen everywhere.

They wore smiles as they admired the dazzling array of goods.

"Sister, what are you looking at?"

Hanabi Hyuga, dressed in a light yellow kimono, noticed that Hinata Hyuga had stopped.

"Nothing...

Hinata Hyuga quickly waved her hand.

She's wearing a white kimono today, but in the style of a cheongsam.

Her long hair cascaded down her shoulders, her fair neck was hidden by her neckline, and the buttons slanted down to her waist.

The slit of the cheongsam went above the thigh, but those slender legs were covered by white trousers.

The cheongsam, which was originally meant to accentuate the figure, appeared extremely conservative.

The girl's naivety and gentleness blended together to create a unique temperament.

"Yeah?"

Hinata Hanabi's tone was full of doubt.

"Really, no!"

Hinata Hyuga dared not look her in the eye.

"Is that my brother-in-law?"

Hinata Hanabi blinked and turned to look at the Hokage Rock.

She frowned slightly because it was too far away to see clearly, but she could vaguely make out three figures.

Roll your eyes!

Hinata Hanabi's lips curled up slightly.

Sure enough.

"No...don't shout."

Hinata Hyuga's face flushed red the moment she was discovered.

"We still have time, shall we go say hello?"

Hinata Hanabi revealed a mischievous smile.

"don't want!"

Hinata Hyuga instinctively refused.

Why?

Hinata Hanabi squinted and asked, "Don't you want to see your brother-in-law?"

"H...Hokage-sama...is here."

Hinata Hyuga's face flushed crimson down to her ears.

"If your brother-in-law saw how you look now, he would definitely be tempted."

Hinata Hanabi covered her mouth and laughed.

"firework!"

Hinata Hyuga was enraged.

"Then I won't say anything more, let's go home."

Seeing that she was a little angry, Hinata Hanabi quickly changed the subject.

Hinata Hyuga breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced back at the Hokage Rock, but found that Shiki Aburame was no longer there.

For a moment, she felt somewhat disappointed.

When she came to her senses, she saw Hinata Hanabi secretly smiling.

"No laughing."

Hinata Hyuga reached out and flicked her forehead, saying something.

"it hurts!"

Hinata Hanabi covered her forehead and said pitifully.

Hinata Hyuga knew she was faking it, but she could no longer get angry.

The two returned to the Hyuga clan.

"Sister, your love rival has come knocking."

Hinata Hanabi looked at Yamanaka Ino at the entrance and blurted out.

"firework!"

Hinata Hyuga was startled by her.

Although Yamanaka Ino was indeed her rival in love, there wasn't actually much animosity between them.

However, her main concern was that Hinata Hanabi might overhear what she was saying.

Hinata.

Yamanaka Ino came to greet her.

"Hanabi, you go in first."

To prevent her from saying anything outrageous again, Hinata Hyuga immediately displayed the authority of an older sister.

"Yes."

Hinata Hanabi gave her a wink before leaving.

"Your sister is so cute."

Yamanaka Ino said with a smile.

"What do you need me for?"

Hinata Hyuga asked with some confusion.

"Have you forgotten that Zhihui's birthday is in two days?"

Yamanaka Ino countered with a question.

"I haven't forgotten!"

Hinata Hyuga quickly said.

"Let's go then."

Yamanaka Ino clenched her fists and said, "Today's a gift-picking battle!"

Hinata Hyuga nodded emphatically.

The two people went to a gift shop.

"You've finally arrived."

Sakura Haruno waved to them.

Besides her, there are also Nara Shikamaru, Akimichi Choji, Karin, and others.

Even Sasuke Uchiha was present.

The only one who didn't arrive was Naruto Uzumaki, who was away training.

Two-in-one.
