Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 202 Getting Closer to Tsunade (Third and Fourth Updates)

The task of Black Hoe Raiya must be completed, but the task of Micro Fragrance Insect cannot be abandoned.

After all, Class 8 has already accepted the mission.

If they don't do it, it will affect their ninja resume.

And the worm is indeed quite good.

It possesses a sense of smell a thousand times greater than that of a ninja dog, making it very suitable for the Aburame clan.

Train more of them; they might be useful in a critical moment.

The Land of Rivers is located between the Land of Fire and the Land of Wind.

At a normal ninja pace, it would take two days.

You Nu Zhihui could have used the Golden Cloud Gu to fly them there, but he didn't.

It's a rare treat to get out with Tsunade, so there's no need to rush; let's just treat it as a vacation.

"Shino and Akamaru, the reconnaissance mission is entrusted to you."

After leaving the Forest of Death, Aburame Shiki gave the instructions.

"Woof woof woof!"

Akamaru answered with great enthusiasm.

"..."

Aburame Shino hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Although it was indeed him and Akamaru who carried out the reconnaissance mission in the Eighth Squad, it was strange to hear it from Aburame Shiki's mouth.

He stretched out his hand, and several parasitic insects flew out from his sleeve, scattering in all directions.

Akamaru jumped down from Kiba Inuzuka's arms and walked around, sniffing as he went.

Because they needed to scout ahead, Shino Aburame and Kiba Inuzuka positioned themselves at opposite ends of the group, one in front of the other.

In the middle are Shiki Aburame, Tsunade, and Hinata Hyuga, standing side by side.

"Is Raiga Kurosuki's gold mine related to the Land of Rivers?"

Tsunade suddenly thought of something and asked.

"no."

Yu Nu Zhihui shook his head and said.

"That's good."

Tsunade's lips curled slightly as she asked, "Hokage-sama, how much is my reward?"

"You want a gold mine?"

Yu Nuzhihui noticed the smile on her face and couldn't help but ask.

"I know the rules. The gold mine should be handed over to Konoha."

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "I mean exactly what I say."

Yu Nu Zhihui was somewhat surprised.

Why are you being so well-behaved?

She doesn't look like Tsunade at all.

But upon closer reflection, aside from drinking and gambling, she was actually a good ninja.

"Here's ten million!"

"Iron Lady Zhihui waved his hand and said with great pride."

"make a deal!"

Tsunade's eyes lit up.

Although this kid can be annoying at times, he's very generous when it comes to paying money.

Oil Girl Zhihui couldn't help but smile.

This money-grubbing look is actually quite cute.

Tsunade caught a glimpse of his expression and suddenly felt a pang of panic.

She's not stupid; the emotions she's expressing are clearly wrong, at least not those of a teacher and student.

Tsunade glanced subconsciously at Hinata Hyuga beside her.

She walked quietly and obediently.

"Stay away from me."

Tsunade grabbed Hinata Hyuga's hand and said, "Let's go to the front and talk."

"...?"

Oil Girl Zhihui looked puzzled.

Hinata Hyuga also looked at her blankly.

Although Tsunade is Shiki Aburame's teacher and Hanabi Hyuga's teacher, they don't have much contact on a daily basis.

What should we talk about with her?

However, she didn't dare to refuse and nodded in agreement.

Oil Girl Zhihui scratched his head.

Why was he excluded?

Although women's friendships can develop quickly, their social status and age differences make it impossible for them to become close friends despite the age gap.

"elder brother."

Shino Aburame stepped forward and called out.

"Something's up?"

Yu Nu Zhihui snapped out of his daze and asked.

"no."

Shino Aburame asked curiously, "What's that S-rank mission?"

Aburame Shiki glanced at Tsunade and Hinata Hyuga, who were already talking in front of him, and realized that he had no right to interrupt.

With nothing else to do, he told Shino Aburame about Raiga Kurosuki.

"Can I have a one-on-one fight with him first?"

Shino Aburame stated her request.

"Would you like to try Sage Mode?"

Yu Nu Zhihui quickly realized what was going on, and after a moment's thought, said, "Okay."

Although his purpose in coming here is to increase his reputation, he may not necessarily have to actually do anything.

When the time comes, just spread the word that the new Hokage led the team to defeat Raiga Kurosuki.

Besides, even without prestige, Orochimaru is waiting for him.

"Thank you, brother."

Aburame Shino's face immediately lit up with anticipation.

After he finished speaking, he went to the back of the group to scout out the surroundings.

Aburame Shiki followed behind Tsunade and Hinata Hyuga.

He thought they would finish talking quickly, but they didn't.

Their journey ended when the sun went down and they entered the land of rivers.

"Rest here for the night."

Tsunade looked around and said.

This is a forest with a stream nearby, making it a perfect place to set up camp.

"I'll cook."

Aburame Shiki instructed, "Ki, go set up the tent; Shino, check the surroundings."

Under normal circumstances, ninjas do not light fires when they are outdoors, in order to avoid accidents that could affect their missions.

But with both Hokage present, there's no need to be so cautious.

Tsunade was initially hesitant, but after seeing Shiki Aburame take out a large amount of ingredients, she stopped saying anything.

Why eat a cold bento box when you can have delicious hot food?

"Zhihui-kun, what can I do?"

Hinata Hyuga, seeing that she had nothing to do, took the initiative to ask.

She's not Tsunade; she can't be that at ease.

"What did you talk about with my teacher?"

"Issue no Chihiro asked in a low voice."

"It was just about some things concerning Zhihui-kun."

Hinata Hyuga blushed slightly and asked somewhat flusteredly, "Was... was it wrong of me to say that?"

"fine."

Yu Nu Zhihui laughed and said, "Say whatever you want."

"I'm going to the river."

Tsunade pursed her lips and suddenly said.

A short while later, a loud bang was heard.

"Hinata, help me wash the vegetables."

Yu Nu Zhihui stood up and said, "I'll go see what's going on."

"Um."

Hinata Hyuga nodded.

When Zhihui, the oil-producing woman, arrived at the riverbank, she finally understood what the sound was.

Tsunade rolled up her trousers and stood barefoot in the river.

When a fish came along, she punched it, knocking it unconscious, and then casually tossed it onto the shore.

What are you doing here?

Tsunade noticed him and asked in a calm tone.

"Teacher, something seems off about you."

A smile appeared on the face of the oil-producing woman, Zhihui, with a hint of smugness in her tone.

"I'm perfectly normal."

Tsunade paused, then clenched her fist and slammed it into the river.

With a dull thud, the river water splashed everywhere.

However, before he could touch her, he was blocked by the surging chakra, preventing Shiki Aburame from getting a full view.

"then!"

Tsunade swung her arm forcefully.

The fish flew away like a kunai.

Oil Girl Zhihui casually grabbed it.

The force was so great that he suspected Tsunade wanted to assassinate him.

[Achieve the Tsunade 'Frozen Tilapia' achievement to receive the reward Vine Claw Gu.]

[Vine Claw Gu: A fourth-stage Gu worm. After use, the hand transforms into wooden roots, and the fingers become wisteria vines, resembling snakes or whips.]

Yu Nuzhihui stared at the words that appeared before her eyes, speechless for a moment.

What kind of strange achievement is this?

But the reward was pretty good.

When used in conjunction with the Hundred-Year Wood Spirit, it can be even more easily disguised as Wood Release.

"Teacher, would you like it grilled or boiled?"

"Oil Girl Zhihui asked with a smile on her face."

"Baked."

Tsunade was silent for two seconds before speaking.

"It seems everything is settled."

Yu Nu Zhihui noticed that her strength had returned to normal.

The two of them tossed the bucket to each other and caught it, and soon they had a full bucket.

"teacher."

Yu Nu Zhihui stood by the river and stretched out her hand, saying, "Come on up, there are no fish around here."

Tsunade glanced at him and took his hand.

She lifted her foot out of the water, wearing high-heeled sandals, and with a slight effort, left the river.

"I'll wipe it for you."

You Nu Zhihui took a towel from Cang Kong Gu.

Tsunade looked at him, her expression gradually softening.

"Put your feet up."

After wiping her calves and ankles, You Nu Zhihui said.

Tsunade lifted her jade-like feet, and water droplets slid down her fair skin.

The woman, Zhihui, wrapped the oil in a towel and then slowly rubbed it.

"Thanks."

Tsunade put on her high-heeled sandals and said.

"It's nothing."

"I don't care," said Zhihui, the oil-producing woman.

He put away the towel and was about to stand up when suddenly a shadow appeared in front of him.

Tsunade bent down and kissed him on the forehead, then walked toward the camp as if nothing had happened.

"Wait for me!"

Oil Girl Zhihui was stunned for a moment, then picked up the bucket and followed.

When we arrived at the campsite, the tents had already been set up.

Kiba Inuzuka prepared four tents.

If it's a regular mission where the 8th Squad goes out, then there are only two.

Hinata Hyuga gets one cap, Yamato, Shino Aburame, and him get another.

But there were two more hats today, naturally belonging to Shiki Aburame and Tsunade.

They are of noble status, being the former and current Hokage, so it wouldn't be appropriate to squeeze in with them.

"Shino, put the grill on the fire. We're having barbecue tonight."

Oil Girl Zhihui put the bucket down.

"So many fish?"

Kiba Inuzuka asked with a look of surprise.

"Woof woof woof!"

Akamaru became excited.

It can provide a full meal.

"The teacher caught him."

Aburame Shiki looked at Tsunade.

"It's nothing."

Tsunade gave him a faint smile and said, "I'm waiting for your grilled fish."

"I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Oil Girl Zhihui took out her tools and began to process the fish.

Tsunade sat quietly on a blanket not far away, watching him.

Half an hour later, the fragrance filled the surrounding area.

"for you."

Oil Girl Zhihui took out a bottle of honey wine and said.

"No drinking during missions."

Tsunade took it and put it away.

"Everyone, please eat."

"That's what Yu Nu Zhihui said."

Hinata Hyuga swallowed hard and took a skewer of grilled fish from his hand.

She took a bite, her heart leaping with joy.

Zhihui's grilled fish is still the best!

The night grew deeper.

The moon rose.

Oil Girl Zhihui lay in bed, unable to sleep.

He thought of Tsunade's kiss earlier.

Unfortunately, it's the forehead.

Suddenly, a thought struck Zhihui, the oil-producing woman.

Why don't we go take a look next door?

I wonder if Tsunade is asleep.

After hesitating for a few seconds, You Nuzhihui got up and left the tent.

He glanced at the tent on the left; it belonged to Hinata Hyuga.

The tent wasn't transparent, so he couldn't see what was happening.

But given Hinata Hyuga's personality, if he were to run in, she would be so embarrassed that she would faint.

"You brat!"

A sudden sound rang out.

Oil Girl Zhihui was stunned for a moment.

This is Tsunade.

She wasn't asleep either.

"I'm coming in, teacher."

Oil Girl Zhihui greeted them, then opened the door and went into the tent.

Tsunade was already lying in her sleeping bag.

The sleeping bag was chained from bottom to top, with only the head sticking out.

She looks just like a silkworm.

"What are you doing outside instead of sleeping?"

Tsunade asked.

Oil Girl Zhihui walked over and lay down next to her.

"..."

Tsunade met his gaze, and a strange sense of panic welled up inside her.

In the dead of night, with a lone man and woman, the atmosphere becomes ambiguous.

She quickly looked away.

"I'm thinking about what you did by the river."

"It's oil-loving Zhihui," he said with a smile.

"I can do whatever I want."

Tsunade was unaccustomed to this strange conversation. She glared at him and said, "We have a mission tomorrow. Stop wasting time talking and go get some rest!"

"Can I sleep here?"

Oil Girl Zhihui pressed her advantage and asked a question.

"No!"

Tsunade didn't even want to answer.

Why?

Yu Nu Zhihui blinked and asked, "It's just a sleeping bag, are you scared, teacher?"

"What am I afraid of?"

Tsunade gave a light snort and said, "Go to sleep if you want, but don't disturb me, or you'll face the consequences!"

After saying that, she closed her eyes.

"Thank you, teacher."

Yu Nuzhihui took out a sleeping bag and crawled inside.

He shifted his body and snuggled up next to Tsunade.

"..."

Tsunade opened her eyes and saw Aburame Shiki's handsome face.

His expression was calm, as if he had already fallen asleep.

Tsunade pursed her lips and just stared at him.

A feeling I had never experienced before welled up inside me.

Although she didn't want to admit it, she did experience feelings different from those she had before.

That damn brat!

Tsunade sighed.

The surroundings became quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and birds.

Tsunade reached out and gently patted Aburame Shiki's head twice.

She was caught just as she was about to take it back.

"teacher."

Yu Nu Zhihui asked with a smile, "What does this mean?"

"Let go, go to sleep."

Tsunade said with a stern face.

She would absolutely not admit to what she had just done.

"Well……"

Tsunade shuddered as she looked at Shiki Aburame, who had suddenly moved closer.

But she quickly softened, a faint daze appearing in her eyes.

"pain!"

Oil Girl Zhihui gasped.

How come I got bitten on the lip during a perfectly normal kiss?

"asshole!"

Tsunade blushed and spat, saying, "I said disturbing my sleep will have serious consequences!"

As she spoke, she kicked out.

Oil Girl Zhihui rolled to the edge of the tent along with her sleeping bag.

"It's right there!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and said, "Don't come any closer!"

"yes!"

Since Zhihui had gotten the better deal, he naturally obeyed.

However, as time passed, he moved a distance closer to Tsunade.

"..."

Tsunade glanced at him, then closed her eyes again.

In the quiet night, only the steady breathing of the two people and the increasingly close heartbeats remained.

The next morning.

Tsunade woke up.

The first thing she saw was Zhihui's smiling face, and she couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.

Good morning, teacher.

Oil Girl Zhihui greeted her.

"Go back to your own tent."

Tsunade glared at him and said.

If Class 8 outside sees this, they'll have no way to explain themselves.

"OK."

Yu Nu Zhihui packed up her sleeping bag and left.

He shared the same concerns.

Tsunade let out a breath.

She sat up and patted her cheeks.

Thinking about what happened last night, she couldn't help but bite her lower lip.

Two-in-one.
