Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage.

Chapter 98 The Temptation of Returning to the Village (Third and Fourth Updates)

"Thank you all for your help."

The Fourth Raikage killed Xuanyuan Zhong, avenged his great grudge, and felt indescribably refreshed.

"It's nothing."

Tsunade said nonchalantly, "It's just a job for money."

"Mabui".

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage ordered, "Give them the reward."

"Yes."

Mabui took out a sealing scroll and handed it to Tsunade, saying, "It's all inside."

Farewell.

After examining her, Tsunade smiled.

That much money is enough for her to gamble for a long time.

The Fourth Raikage nodded and watched them leave.

Mabui felt a little regretful.

She looked at Yu Nu Zhihui and secretly wondered what the next time they would meet would be like.

Hopefully, we won't be enemies then.

She quite admired the child.

A hotel room.

Tsunade plopped down, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip.

Thinking of those thirty-five million taels, she couldn't help but smile.

The frustration of losing all morning vanished.

"Lady Tsunade."

Shizune held out her hand and said, "Give me the reel."

"What reel?"

Tsunade simply pretended to be stupid.

"money."

"Silently, I spoke succinctly."

"You don't need to worry."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "I will keep it safe."

"Lady Tsunade!"

Shizune declared matter-of-factly, "I performed the surgery, so the money should be mine!"

Tsunade's expression immediately froze.

If you really want to say that, then you're absolutely right.

She pouted, clearly annoyed, and took out the scroll.

But suddenly she thought of something.

"Wait, this money can't just be given to you."

Tsunade, quick-witted as ever, said, "Shiki also deserves credit."

Zhihui, the oil lady watching the play, was slightly taken aback.

Why did this involve him?

"I will give half to Zhihui."

"Silence said without hesitation."

Tsunade's lips curled up slightly.

Although they couldn't keep the money, they could take it from Zhihui, the oil woman.

At least it's not as difficult to deal with as a silent one.

"I'm hungry, let's eat."

Tsunade handed the scroll to Shizune and said, "Go order the food."

Silent was somewhat helpless.

She naturally knew Tsunade's plan.

Before leaving, Shizune gave Aburame Shiki a wink.

The meaning is simple: don't be afraid, withstand her attacks.

Yu Nu Zhihui nodded slightly.

He tried his best.

However, most of them cannot escape her exploitation.

"Are you aware of my hemophobia?"

After Shizune left, Tsunade's expression became somewhat complicated.

"That's what Lord Slug told me."

Without hesitation, Zhihui, the oil-producing woman, shifted the blame to the slug.

Having heard so many of his stories, it's time for it to come in handy.

"It really is it."

Tsunade crossed her arms and lifted her chin.

She was not surprised.

Even if the slug doesn't tell Zhihui the oil lady, he'll find out sooner or later.

Just like being muted.

Because I've been by her side for too long.

"Don't tell a second person."

Tsunade said in a deep voice.

"I see."

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded.

Hemophobia is definitely Tsunade's fatal weakness.

If it becomes known to outsiders, it will cause enormous trouble.

"teacher."

After thinking for a moment, Yu Nuzhihui asked, "Can it be cured?"

He certainly wouldn't miss such a golden opportunity.

"have no idea."

Tsunade was silent for a few seconds before speaking.

She is a medical ninja, and the best medical ninja in the ninja world.

She was quite aware of hemophobia.

This is a psychological problem.

Mental illness is incurable.

Unless she can get out of the shadows.

But she couldn't get over it.

"old……"

As soon as Shiki Aburame opened his mouth, Tsunade's fingers pressed against it, silencing him.

He looked into her bright brown eyes, and whether he was seeing things or not, he vaguely saw a hint of pleading in them.

The usually strong Tsunade suddenly seemed pitiful.

Oil Girl Zhihui remained silent.

She clearly didn't want to talk about hemophobia.

"Thanks for today, kid."

Tsunade raised her hand, stopped in front of his forehead, and flicked it.

"You are my teacher."

Yu Nu Zhihui shook his head and said, "It's what I should do."

"So... how much money are you planning to give your teacher?"

Tsunade's eyes darted around, and she asked.

The worry on her face completely disappeared, as if she had regained her vitality.

"..."

Oil Girl Zhihui was speechless.

"At worst, I'll borrow money from you."

Tsunade, settling for second best, said, "I'll definitely pay you back when I have the money."

After thinking about it for a moment, You Nuzhihui realized that lending money was indeed more cost-effective than giving money directly.

He doesn't have the power to ask for the money now, but Tsunade won't be able to refuse to pay it back later.

"Can."

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded.

"He really is my good student."

Tsunade patted his head, then changed the subject, saying, "Your million doesn't count; that was tuition."

You're really obsessed with money.

Aburame Shiki suddenly thought of Kakuzu.

While both men love money, he diligently takes on tasks from all over the place to earn it.

Jingyin pushed open the door and said, "The food will be here soon."

"Drink water."

Oil Girl Zhihui poured her a glass of water.

"Thanks."

Jingyin immediately beamed with joy.

Compared to Tsunade, Shiki Aburame is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at him.

"..."

Tsunade now understood why Shiki Aburame was so popular at school.

It's not just because they're good-looking.

"For the next period of time, we will continue heading north."

After a moment's thought, Tsunade said, "It will take about a month before we return to Konoha."

"OK."

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded.

"Mute".

Tsunade then instructed, "Take some time to teach Shiki some ninja wilderness skills."

"Lady Tsunade."

"Then what are you doing?" Shizune asked irritably.

"I have my own plans."

Tsunade coughed lightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "You don't need to worry about me."

A knock came at the door.

The words that were about to be uttered were swallowed back down.

She sighed.

It's all useless anyway.

The door opened, and it was the hotel's food delivery service.

"Guest, your dishes have all been served. Please enjoy your meal."

The young woman put down her chopsticks and turned to leave.

"The taste is alright."

Tsunade took a bite and said, "But it doesn't taste as good as what you two made."

"Of course."

Mute revealed a smug smile.

The anger from before seemed to have vanished.

Yu Nu Zhihui smiled slightly.

It feels like home.

He raised his glass and said, "Cheers!"

Of course, he wasn't drinking alcohol, but fruit juice.

"Cheers!"

Tsunade and Shizune raised their glasses at the same time.

The three of them clinked their glasses and then drank together.

"what!"

Tsunade sighed deeply and said somewhat absentmindedly, "That's really good."

She hadn't been this happy in a long time.

time flies.

The month-long holiday has come to an end in the blink of an eye.

Training Ground No. 1 in Konoha Village.

"Sasuke, take a rest."

Kakashi Hatake, who was sitting under the tree, looked up and said.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke immediately sat down on the ground.

He was panting heavily.

Sweat rolled down his face, soaking his clothes, but he didn't care.

Kakashi Hatake's training intensity was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

It's no exaggeration to say that he spent all his time training except for sleeping and eating.

Uchiha Sasuke looked at the giant tree in front of him.

Various charred marks remain on it.

It was a truly appalling sight.

But Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

This is the result of his practice of Lightning Release ninjutsu.

It must be said that he was very satisfied.

Kakashi Hatake stared intently at the "Icha Icha Paradise" book in his hand.

He didn't expect that Uchiha Sasuke would actually be able to persevere.

Moreover, the two of them are indeed quite compatible.

The only pity is that Sasuke Uchiha didn't awaken the Sharingan.

Kakashi Hatake reached out and touched his left eye.

This was a gift left to him by his teammate, Obito Uchiha.

Suddenly, thunder roared.

Kakashi Hatake instinctively turned his head.

Uchiha Sasuke started practicing again.

"You're really diligent."

Kakashi Hatake couldn't help but sigh.

He understood why Sasuke Uchiha was working so hard.

They met for the first time last month.

As is customary, Kakashi Hatake asked him to introduce himself.

When he talked about his dreams, he mentioned that he wanted to defeat Aburame Shiki.

"Having a strong opponent can be quite useful at times."

Kakashi Hatake suddenly became alert.

He looked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see the green figure.

"Kakashi, were you looking for me?"

Matt Kay's familiar voice came from above.

Kakashi Hatake stared blankly for a moment, then rolled his dead fish eyes.

What's meant to happen will happen.

"Kakashi!"

Matt Kay leaped down, stood in front of him, gave him a thumbs-up, and said, "Let's have a battle of youth!"

"Not interested."

Kakashi Hatake said expressionlessly.

"Are you afraid, my nemesis?"

Matt Kay flashed two rows of gleaming teeth.

"I'm busy."

Kakashi Hatake closed "Icha Icha Paradise" and said, "I'm teaching students."

"When you see students working so hard, don't you feel their youth is burning brightly?"

"Look at these young bodies! How passionate it must be when flesh meets flesh!" Matt Kay exclaimed passionately.

"My youth is dead, Kay."

Kakashi Hatake remained unmoved.

"Fight me, and it will come back to life!"

Matt Kay said with a bright smile.

"..."

Kakashi Hatake was at a loss for words.

"Uncle Kai!"

Just then, Naruto's voice came from afar.

Kakashi Hatake subconsciously raised his head.

"here!"

Matt Kay waved to him.

"Huh? Sasuke!"

Naruto Uzumaki walked closer and shouted loudly.

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at him, ignored him, and continued his training.

Naruto Uzumaki was used to his attitude and wasn't angry.

He looked at Kakashi Hatake and greeted him, "Uncle Kakashi."

He had known from Matt Kay long before that he had a lifelong enemy.

We had only met once two weeks ago.

This is the second time we've met.

"Hello, Naruto."

Kakashi Hatake's feelings were somewhat complicated.

Memories involuntarily surfaced.

"Kakashi, your teacher has a child."

Congratulations, teacher.

"The teacher wants you to be Kushina's bodyguard, what do you think?"

Why?

"Don't you want to see the teacher's child born?"

Kakashi Hatake suddenly remembered something and quickly put away "Icha Icha Paradise".

If Naruto Uzumaki sees this, it'll be troublesome.

"Since you're helping Naruto, let's postpone our fight."

Kakashi Hatake's tone softened somewhat.

"real?"

Matt Kay was immediately excited and laughed heartily, "As expected, my nemesis won't give up so easily!"

Seeing this, Naruto Uzumaki also laughed.

"Naruto!"

Matt Kay waved his hand and said, "Run three hundred more laps today!"

"It's a teacher!"

Naruto Uzumaki answered immediately.

"Kakashi, see you next time!"

Matt Kay ran outside.

Naruto Uzumaki followed closely behind.

The hustle and bustle has faded away, leaving only silence.

Kakashi Hatake looked at the clear sky and fell silent.

A flock of crows suddenly came into his view.

"Kakashi-senpai."

The crow transformed into Uchiha Itachi.

"What's up?"

Kakashi Hatake glanced at him and asked.

"I'm here to see Sasuke."

Itachi Uchiha explained.

"You guys chat."

Kakashi Hatake stood up and said, "Today's training is over."

Naruto Uzumaki stirred up his past memories, and he lost his interest in teaching.

Perhaps I should go see the teacher.

Kakashi Hatake decided to detour to the Konoha Memorial Monument.

"elder brother!"

Uchiha Sasuke stopped his training and rushed forward.

"Wow, Sasuke, that's impressive."

Uchiha Itachi glanced at the marks on the tree trunk and praised them.

Where?

Sasuke Uchiha couldn't help but smile.

"When I came back, I saw Lady Tsunade and Shiki."

Itachi Uchiha patted his head and asked, "Are you going to see him?"

Why should I see him? He's not even my friend!

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes lit up, but he immediately frowned and said...

"Okay, let's go home."

Itachi Uchiha did not expose him.

He calculated that if he rushed back now, he could probably run into them.

Uchiha Sasuke had no doubts and agreed without thinking.

The two left the training ground.

A few minutes later, Sasuke Uchiha realized the problem.

This is not the way to the Uchiha clan at all.

The next second, he saw Yu Nu Zhihui.

"It seems we're a step too late."

Itachi Uchiha shook his head and said, "Your friend is really popular."

"I told you! He's not my friend."

Sasuke Uchiha turned and left.

"That's... Sasuke?"

Nara Shikamaru noticed him.

"It really is him."

Yu Nuzhihui glanced at it and said.

"If it's Sasuke, then that's normal."

Nara Shikamaru said casually.

Aburame Shiki looked at Yamanaka Ino.

Her gaze was so intense that he couldn't ignore it.

"Choji, I remember there's a supermarket not far away where potato chips are on sale."

Nara Shikamaru looked around, realized something, and said.

"Where?!"

Choji Akimichi suddenly became excited.

"I'll take you there."

Nara Shikamaru held his head in his hands and slowly walked away.

"hurry up!"

Choji Akimichi rushed up, grabbed him, and ran away.

"Hey! Slow down!"

Nara Shikamaru exclaimed with a helpless expression.

How did you know I was coming back today?

Yu Nuzhihui withdrew her gaze.

Well...

With her hands behind her back, Yamanaka Ino said somewhat shyly, "I overheard my father saying it."

careless?

Oil Girl Zhihui naturally didn't believe it.

"Never mind that."

Yamanaka Ino abruptly changed the subject, saying, "I'll treat you to dinner to welcome you home."

"I'm afraid that's not possible now."

Oil Girl Zhihui shook her head and said, "I need to go home."

Two parts combined. Tomorrow's update might be a little late.
