He has now reached level seven, and his experience points for leveling up have increased to 6,400.

The average of the three major attributes is also gradually approaching 150.

His strength has now surpassed that of many Chunin, and he's even close to becoming an elite Chunin.

"A lavish lottery? I wonder what kind of prizes we can win?"

Zhang Ye murmured excitedly to himself.

"Ah Ye, you...you're awake!"

Outside the ward, Kushina was holding a bowl of fragrant broth in her hands, but when she saw Zhang Ye after he regained consciousness, her hands trembled, she threw the bowl away, and rushed into Zhang Ye's arms.

A faint fragrance wafted into Zhang Ye's nose.

"Ok?"

Zhang Ye let out a muffled groan, and Kushina, who had been lying on top of him, quickly got up and looked at him with concern.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, I..."

Zhang Ye reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Silly girl, how could I blame you!"

Chapter Thirty-Five: Kushina: I'll marry you!

Zhang Ye sat on the hospital bed, watching Kushina talk incessantly with a smile.

"...After you were sent down, the cheers were so loud that the entire Hidden Leaf Village could hear them..."

Zhang Ye simply looked at Kushina with a smile, a gentle smile playing on his lips.

Zhang Ye handed Kushina a water glass when she was so hoarse from talking.

She gulped it down before realizing that ever since Zhang Ye woke up, she had been the one talking, while Zhang Ye hadn't uttered a single word.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Kushina's pretty face flushed slightly.

Zhang Ye looked at the shy Kushina and couldn't help but chuckle, "I can just quietly watch you like this!"

"Idiot, you idiot!" Kushina muttered shyly, her eyes darting around.

Suddenly, Kushina became hesitant and mumbled something that Zhang Ye couldn't understand at all.

Zhang Ye asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Do you have a fever?"

He was about to reach out and touch Kushina's forehead when she slapped his hand away.

"Um... congratulations on winning the competition! I've prepared a gift for you..."

The voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, but Zhang Ye heard it clearly, though he harbored a mischievous intention in his heart.

"What did you say? I didn't hear you?"

Zhang Ye asked loudly, even making an exaggerated gesture of amplifying his voice by putting his hand to his ear.

"Idiot, you idiot!"

Kushina suddenly stood up, took out a gift box from behind her, and threw it onto Zhang Ye's bed.

"This is a gift from your mother!" Kushina said angrily.

Zhang Ye looked at Kushina helplessly and muttered, "Just give it properly, why be so barbaric? Be careful no one will marry you in the future!"

"So what if no one wants to marry me? I'll just marry you!"

"Marry me..."

Zhang Ye remained stunned for a long time, intimidated by Kushina's fierce tone.

Kushina realized the mistake in her words and quickly ran out, blushing with embarrassment.

Watching Kushina's departing figure, Zhang Ye couldn't help but chuckle.

"This girl!"

Zhang Ye looked at the gift box lying flat in his hand. It was so flat that he couldn't help but weigh it.

"Not heavy?" Zhang Ye immediately removed the gift box packaging, revealing a gray-black wooden box underneath.

Pushing open the wooden box, inside was a specially made kunai, which looked like a miniature trident with a golden handle.

"It's a chakra weapon!"

Chakra weapons are special weapons that can contain chakra. They are made of extremely rare wrought iron, which is not only hard but also highly sought after by many ninjas.

"Where did this girl get so much money to buy me gifts?" Zhang Ye said with a wry smile. "You're asking me to replace Minato Namikaze as the Yellow Flash!"

In the original work, Minato Namikaze's special kunai is loved by many Naruto fans, not only because of its unique appearance, but also because it is one of the necessary tools for Minato to use the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Bang bang bang!

Jiraiya was carrying a basket of fruit and smiling at Zhang Ye. Zhang Ye could sense a growing sense of pride in his eyes!

"I just saw Kushina running out with her face covered. Did you bully her again? Aren't you afraid Tsunade, that super strong woman, will beat you up if you get her?"

Jiraiya placed the fruit on the table and looked at Zhang Ye with a smile.

He is now very satisfied with Zhang Ye, who has made a name for himself after the Ninja Tournament.

"It's nothing, she just said she wants to marry me."

Zhang Ye took an orange from the basket, peeled it, and ate a piece of the fruit.

"Oh, I see." Jiraiya nodded.

The room fell into complete silence, and Jiraiya's eyes widened involuntarily.

"What did you say?!" Jiraiya jumped to his feet. "Kushina said she wanted to marry you?"

"Yes, that's exactly what she said, but unfortunately she ran away before I could even agree!"

Zhang Ye's tone carried a hint of disappointment.

If this were an online game, Jiraiya would already be dealing critical damage plus 100,000 points of damage.

"They're so young and they've already pledged their lives to each other. I'm all grown up and still all alone. What kind of world is this?!" Jiraiya sighed to the heavens, looking utterly dejected.

"Quiet down, this is a hospital!"

The nurse stood at the door and snapped, "The patient needs to rest. Stop making noise, or I'll have the security guards kick you out!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiraiya clasped his hands together.

A hint of amusement flashed in Zhang Ye's eyes as he slowly said, "But yesterday I saw a girl confess to you, but you rejected her. I wonder who you're waiting for? Could it be Aunt Tsunade?"

Upon hearing Zhang Ye's question, Jiraiya's face showed a hint of embarrassment, and he quickly denied it, saying, "How could that be? Tsunade is a woman with superhuman strength and violence. I am an elite ninja of Konoha. I would never like her!"

"Really? But..." Zhang Ye pointed behind Jiraiya and said, "Aunt Tsunade is right behind you!"

"Jiraiya!!"

Tsunade landed a heavy punch on Jiraiya's head, transforming into a female tyrant.

"Ouch!" Jiraiya cried out, clutching his head in pain.

Suddenly, Tsunade turned to look at Zhang Ye, and a chill ran from the soles of her feet all the way to her head.

Zhang Ye couldn't help but swallow hard, inwardly regretting, "I'm doomed!"

boom! !

Tsunade landed a blow on Jiraiya's head; although it hurt, it was still within Zhang Ye's tolerance.

However, Tsunade's fist was pressed against Zhang Ye's head, spinning it endlessly.

In no time at all!

A wisp of smoke slowly rose from Zhang Ye's head.

This pain lasts much longer than a punch.

I should have never messed with that dinosaur woman!

……

Zhang Ye and Jiraiya knelt on the ground, while Tsunade sat high on the hospital bed, looking down at them.

"Keep saying it, twenty more times!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have joked about Tsunade-neechan. I will never call her 'Auntie' again!"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have insulted Princess Tsunade, the most beautiful woman in Konoha. Tsunade is the most beautiful woman in Konoha and even the entire continent. Even Izumi Uemura isn't as pretty as you!"

Izumi Uemura was the most famous movie star in the Naruto world at that time. She was nominated for Best Actress by the five great nations and was a goddess in the hearts of many adults.

"Mmm-hmm!" Tsunade crossed her legs and looked at the two men in front of her with satisfaction.

"Alright, I'll let you off the hook today, but don't let me see you making fun of me behind my back again, or I'll show you what hell is like!" Tsunade clenched her fist tightly, and with a series of cracking sounds, Zhang Ye felt as if he could see his bones being crushed by Tsunade!

"Zhang Ye, the Hokage wishes to see you!"

Orochimaru suddenly appeared in the hospital room, announcing the Hokage's order!

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Dark Side

Following Orochimaru, Zhang Ye arrived at a dark, secluded forest. Looking around at the desolate scene, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

In his memory, Orochimaru was a research fanatic, especially interested in bloodline limits, which are abilities obtained through genetics.

He even conducted numerous human experiments, which led him to leave Konoha and become an S-rank rogue ninja.

Orochimaru glanced at the worried Zhang Ye and couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.

Fortunately, Zhang Ye had spent time with Orochimaru before and knew that his smile didn't represent coldness, but friendliness.

At this moment, Orochimaru was extremely popular in Konoha. Although he was known as the "Cold Lord," the people of Konoha still loved and respected this gloomy ninja.

"Xiao Ye, put on your blindfold. The place I'm taking you to is a secret of Konoha. We can't easily let people who don't belong there know its location."

Orochimaru handed Zhang Ye a black eye patch with mysterious patterns drawn on it, from which Zhang Ye sensed the aura of a sealing technique.

It must be some kind of sealing technique that seals the five senses!
