As for returning to Konoha, now that an agreement has been reached between Konoha and Uzushio Village, everyone is heading back home.

The meaning behind the third generation's words should be that he helped him deal with Danzo's side.

Danzo was always busy. Whether the ninja world was "peaceful" or not, he would cause trouble. During this period, he also had to do something else—mess with the Root organization and the students.

Holidays are hard-won, so cherish them while you can.

No need to go to work, Akabane immediately got up to breathe in the fresh air and, incidentally, watch Orochimaru and Tsunade's training.

Of course, it's mainly Tsunade.

It's pointless for Akabane to worry about Orochimaru's personality and abilities, but he has a lot of experience with Tsunade's problems.

After all, as a health-conscious ninja, he had to carefully manage every bit of chakra and stamina.

The two train in different places. Tsunade needs a large open space to test her control of her super strength technique, while Orochimaru needs more targets to learn the Vacuum Ball.

After searching around, Akabane found Tsunade outside the village.

She was surrounded by fist craters, but it was clear that she couldn't control them at will, so the craters varied in size and shape.

He's still young, not one of the future Legendary Sannin...

Akabane sighed slightly. He didn't know what had happened to Tsunade in the original storyline that led her to realize the importance of control and eventually become the greatest medical ninja, but she was still very inexperienced.

"Orochi... Ah, it's you! You actually came out of the room."

Tsunade showed no shock in her tone or expression, because she really wasn't in the mood for such jokes.

"It seems I have no image in your heart at all, and you had no expectation that I would come out to see you."

Akabane smiled nonchalantly.

"I'm not in the mood to talk about this right now. My teacher told me to work on my self-control, but I'm completely lost..."

Tsunade was dejected. Her chakra control was not weak, but to perfectly control the Super Strength Technique, she needed more precise control, which she was still lacking for the time being.

"Here's some advice for you."

As Akabane spoke, he quickly opened the drawing.

Not long after, Tsunade felt a sense of disorientation and found herself in another world.

Then she saw a figure—it was another version of herself.

Just as she was marveling at this, she saw the illusory "her" punch the ground, shattering it into pieces, with countless stones flying everywhere—it was quite a sight.

"Look at the effect of this punch. How is it different from your own?"

Akabane's voice came through.

Tsunade moved closer to examine the effect of the punch, and soon her face showed surprise—it seemed no different, but the cracks in the ground caused by this punch were very even, and even the outer edges were subjected to the same destructive force.

To achieve this level of control requires an incredibly strong degree of self-control.

That's right, what Akabane showed her was the "Sakura Rush" that she would later create herself!

Chapter 57 Jiraiya Returns

"This punch has taken superhuman strength to another level."

Tsunade was amazed by Akabane's ability to create ninjutsu, but at the same time she was extremely troubled, "But this requires even stronger control, right?"

"You say you have no direction, I'll give you direction, the rest is up to you."

As soon as Akabane finished speaking, the illusion shattered.

How to achieve it is Tsunade's own business; it's a process she has to go through.

She's too impatient right now, and the process of figuring things out and researching is precisely the time to hone her character. If Akabane interferes, it will only make things worse.

“You’re right, we have a direction now, and it’s up to me now.”

It's just about control, right? I can do it!

Tsunade took a deep breath, then leaped up and continued the experiment.

boom!

Extremely noisy, not up to standard.

At first, Tsunade was a little impatient, but after a few punches, she gradually mastered some tricks and her chakra control became more stable.

Akabane was not surprised.

What influenced her was not talent, but personality and mindset. Once she calmed down, she gradually came to understand and experience things, and everything fell into place naturally.

"She is indeed very beautiful when she is serious."

He went to the side, lay down on the grass, and peacefully watched the scenery.

The sounds continued, but the decreasing volume and noise indicated that Tsunade had made great progress.

She began to control her strength, conserving unnecessary chakra.

Akabane spent the entire afternoon amidst deafening roars until evening...

"Hahaha, I finally succeeded."

With a loud laugh, Tsunade slammed her fists into the ground, each punch possessing equal power.

"This is just the first step, and now you have another task."

After Akabane finished speaking, he gestured towards the open space with his chin.

Although this place is just a desolate area, it still belongs to the territory of Wochao Village. The small pits she smashed must be dealt with.

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

Tsunade chuckled and began pushing the surrounding soil and rocks back.

As Akabane said, controlling the force is only the first step.

To unleash the full power of superhuman strength, one must control it while simultaneously focusing the force on a single point or area.

Moreover, true superhuman strength doesn't come from just the fists, but from being able to use any part of the body.

In short, Tsunade is still far from good enough.

"Well, the only good thing about all the punches you've thrown is that we can farm here in the future."

Akabane stood up, looked around, and then smiled and joked.

Surprisingly, Tsunade didn't refute it. Instead, she remained silent for a moment and said, "That's good too. At least it shows I'm useful."

"Ha, don't underestimate yourself."

Akabane kicked in some clods of dirt, pretending to help.

"That's true. At least I can defeat Chunin, which is much better than that idiot Jiraiya."

Tsunade said with a smile.

"Jiraiya, he can be quite stupid most of the time."

Akabane seemed to sense something, glanced back, and then nodded in agreement.

A moment later...

"That damn airport is badmouthing me behind my back again!"

An angry yet childish voice came from the woods behind, and the next second a figure leaped out of a tree and landed in the clearing.

"Jiraiya?!?"

Tsunade was surprised and delighted, but then a surge of anger followed.

AIRPORT?

Are you kidding me! I just haven't developed yet!

She clenched her fist, wanting to punch him, but then took a deep breath and told herself, "Control yourself, don't lose your temper!"

"You used psychic abilities, but where did you go?"

Akabane asked with a smile.

"Don't even mention it. It's a weird place where I was forced to learn some skills, and I still don't understand them."

Jiraiya was quite distressed and sighed, "I have to go back in a few days."

"Hehe, as expected of a fool. But to encounter such a sacred place for cultivation is already a blessing you've accumulated over three lifetimes. You should cherish it."

Tsunade's words were barbed, yet they also contained the concern between friends.

Jiraiya was completely oblivious, and instead, angered by Tsunade's harsh words, he retorted, "Good fortune? I don't need to rely on a place like this!"

"Alright, that's fine. People need to know their place."

Akabane interrupted their pointless argument and continued, "You said someone forced you to cultivate?"

"That place is called Mount Myōboku, and there's a group of incredibly terrifying toads there. At first, I couldn't believe that there were such powerful toads in the world!"

Jiraiya felt a sense of fear when he thought about it.

Then, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Although he was stubborn, he had to admit that he had made rapid progress during his time at Mount Myoboku.

Mount Myōboku?

Akabane nodded, having already known the answer.

The three holy lands are extremely mysterious, and few people know about them except for themselves. Chi Yu did this to prevent future bugs from appearing.

"Yes, I also saw a super terrifying giant snake on Mount Myoboku."

Jiraiya excitedly showed off.

"A giant serpent? There are so many terrifying summoned beasts on Mount Myōboku, yet a serpent dares to go there!"

Tsunade said in surprise.

While snakes are considered natural enemies of toads, this restraint disappears when the toad becomes too powerful.

"If Mount Myōboku is a sacred place for spirit beasts, then the giant serpent that dared to go up Mount Myōboku must also be a spirit beast from a sacred place."

Akabane shared his "guess".

“Indeed, when I asked Bunta, he told me it was Ryuchi Cave.”

Jiraiya said.

"Ryuchi Cave... truly a mysterious place."

Akabane sighed softly, unable to help but envy the luck of the Sannin.

Ryuchi Cave, Mount Myōboku, and Shikkotsu Forest, the sacred sites of the three great sages, were all encountered by the three legendary ninjas, making it no wonder they became the protagonists of the Second Shinobi World War.

However, it wouldn't be too strange if you got two names at once and the corresponding information appeared in the comics later.

He thought to himself.

"By the way, where's Orochimaru? I've gotten stronger now, I'm going to beat him up!"

Jiraiya was also very arrogant and wanted to find someone to fight.

He had originally intended to provoke Tsunade, but upon jumping down from the tree and seeing the large craters on the ground, he immediately stopped his suicidal thoughts.

Akabane remained silent.

He didn't know whether he should say it or not. Just like Sasuke's mentality exploded when he discovered Naruto's growing strength in the original work, he was unsure how Orochimaru, whose mentality was already somewhat broken, would change when he saw Jiraiya's increased strength.

Tsunade had also considered this point, and did not answer immediately.

Just as the two were in a dilemma, the Third Generation's voice came: "He is on the mountain behind Uzushio Village. If you want to go find him, go."

"Thank you, teacher. I will tell you about what I have been through during this time after I defeat Orochimaru."

Jiraiya leaped onto the treetop and headed towards the back mountain.

"Teacher, is this really okay?"

"Tsunade said worriedly."

"There's nothing wrong with it. You're underestimating Orochimaru."
