Lurking in Konoha, part-time Hokage

The remaining sunlight in the sky fell, leaving only the dim night.

After a day of fighting, peace returned to the Konoha Village headquarters.

There is a small river not far from the base camp, and the summer breeze brings cool breezes.

Tsunade sat down by the river, watching the ripples on the water.

She lifted her right leg, slowly stretched out her hand, hooked her fingers around her trouser leg, and moved her hand up along her fair skin, revealing her slender calf.

The soles of her feet stepped on the stones, and her toes, which were like round pearls, moved slightly. The red color on her toenails dimmed slightly in the night.

She put down her right leg, then raised her left foot, and after rolling up her trouser legs, the anklet on her ankle came into view.

Tsunade stared at the anklet for a few seconds before putting it away.

She put her feet into the water, and the cool feeling made her squint her eyes.

After entering June, the weather becomes warmer and soaking your feet becomes a pleasure during your free time.

After a moment, Tsunade suddenly raised her eyebrows.

She looked down and saw several streams of water rotating and massaging her feet as if they had life.

Tsunade subconsciously curled her toes and tensed her legs.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she asked, "Little ghost, who taught you to use water escape ninjutsu like this?"

"Ninjutsu is a tool. Whether it is used for fighting or washing feet, there is no problem."

Hanekawa, who was standing behind her, said with a smile.

“That’s all nonsense!”

Tsunade said with a snort.

"If the teacher doesn't like it, then I'll stop."

Hanekawa withdrew his chakra and said.

"It's war time now, don't waste chakra."

Tsunade reached out her hand and patted it, saying, "Come and sit down."

"Um."

Hanekawa walked forward and suddenly his eyelids twitched.

Tsunade took off her tea green jacket, revealing her sleeveless top.

She was sitting by the river, and when Hanekawa looked down, he could see the snow-white color of her collar.

Looking down, you can see the same snow-white slender legs, soaking in the water like mutton-fat jade.

"What are you standing there for?"

Tsunade looked back at him, and when she met his gaze, she suddenly reacted.

"Teacher, have you eaten yet?"

Hanekawa quickly sat next to her and tried to change the subject.

"Just a little bit of food."

Tsunade subconsciously pulled her collar and said.

“Then you must not be full.”

Hanekawa noticed her movements and thought to himself that this was a close call.

"What do you have to eat?"

After hearing what Hanekawa said, Tsunade really felt hungry.

"How about grilled fish?"

Hanekawa raised his hand and pointed, saying, "Look over there."

Tsunade looked in the direction he pointed and found two crucian carp.

She tilted her head and said, "It's a little small."

"It's okay, just catch two more."

Hanekawa smiled and said, "Watch me."

He formed seals with his hands, and the river water suddenly changed.

The nearby water flow seemed to have received the call of the river god. It turned into arms and suddenly grabbed the crucian carp.

The crucian carp, which has lived its entire life, never dreamed that one day it would be attacked by the river water.

"Your water escape..."

Tsunade couldn't help but be startled.

This ability to control water is truly incredible.

Being able to reach this level means that Hanekawa has mastered the form and nature changes of water escape to the extreme.

Among all the water-style ninjas she had seen, only Senju Tobirama could be compared to him.

"have no idea."

Hanekawa said casually, "Anyway, it became like this after practicing for a while."

“…”

Tsunade's mouth twitched, she was so speechless that she wanted to kick him in the face.

Is this even human language?

She once again experienced Hanekawa's abnormal talent in ninjutsu.

Of course, this is a good thing.

The stronger you are, the more you can save your life.

Seeing this, Hanekawa couldn't help but laugh.

What he just said was of course nonsense.

As for why his water escape technique could be further improved, it was because he had successfully acquired the A-rank term 'Water escape technique Jonin'.

Almost a month and a half had passed since the last battle with the Hidden Cloud Village's 1,000-strong ninja force.

Perhaps Danzo Shimura realized that he could not suppress Tsunade, so he chose to give up temporarily.

Hanekawa and the others' mission barely returned to normal.

The reason why it is said to be reluctant is that their tasks are mostly logistics and deep behind enemy lines, and there are few serious frontal battles.

But fortunately, there were quite a few battles.

Hanekawa finally completed the progress bar for the A-level entry 'Water Style Jonin'.

Its effect is still to increase the power of all water-style ninjutsu, but it has been increased from 100% to 150%.

Hanekawa now has three entries for the power of water-style ninjutsu.

A-level entry 'Water Style Jonin', B-level entry 'Rain God', B-level entry 'I am the Mizukage'.

In other words, the power of his water escape technique can theoretically reach a 350% bonus.

Water escape technique is the most powerful of all his escape techniques currently, even the lava escape technique he learned cannot compare to it.

In theory, bloodline limit is more powerful than a single five-style ninjutsu.

But unfortunately, all of Hanekawa's five ninjutsu have bonus attributes.

This is also the reason why he is still accustomed to using the five elements of ninjutsu such as water escape technique.

Compared to water escape, earth escape is a little slower.

But it's almost the same.

Hanekawa estimated that he would reach 100% progress in another half a month and would be able to synthesize Wood Release.

"That's enough. No more catching."

Tsunade said quickly as she looked at the ten fish she caught.

"I'll go grill the fish."

Hanekawa came back to his senses and said, "Teacher, wait a moment."

"Um."

Tsunade nodded and continued paddling.

Hanekawa put on his shoes and went to build a fire not far away.

After he processed the fish, he skewered it and roasted it over the fire.

Hanekawa stretched out his hand and used fire chakra to add fuel to the flames, making them even hotter.

He was now accustomed to using chakra as an all-purpose tool.

You can add a little bit of anything, it will all be useful.

Soon, the enticing aroma filled the air.

"Are you ready?"

Tsunade licked the corner of her lips and turned to look at Hanekawa.

Her body leaned forward slightly, and her clothes seemed about to burst under the heavy pressure.

"I'll be right there."

Hanekawa looked very worried.

"Hurry up."

Tsunade withdrew her gaze, touched her belly, and waited for Hanekawa.

After a few minutes, the scent got closer.

"Give."

Hanekawa sat down next to her and handed her a skewer of grilled fish.

"Thanks."

After Tsunade finished speaking, she couldn't wait to bite off a piece of fish.

But because it was too hot, she subconsciously opened her red lips and blew twice.

"Teacher, you are so cute."

Hanekawa chuckled and said.

Tsunade couldn't help but glare at him but didn't say anything as she was busy eating her fish.

Hanekawa could probably guess what she wanted to say, which was something like respecting teachers.

He picked up the grilled fish and started eating it too.

"Shimura Danzo has been quiet for a while, shouldn't we let Lin keep an eye on him?"

Hanekawa suddenly thought of something and asked.

He didn't want to be ruined by Danzo Shimura at the critical moment of synthesizing Wood Release.

"It's more dangerous to monitor Shimura Danzo. You can monitor his Root subordinates instead."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that Hizashi has to go back to Konoha Village tomorrow. I'll ask him to go to the Anbu and get a list of the former Root members."

"What is he doing back in the Leaf Village?"

Hanekawa asked curiously.

"Because his child will most likely be born this month, he needs to go back and check the situation."

Tsunade explained.

Hanekawa couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard that.

He remembered that Hyuga Neji's birthday was July 3rd, which was indeed not far away from now.

By next year, it will be Uchiha Sasuke, Uzumaki Naruto and Hyuga Hinata.

In other words, Uchiha Madara's life is about to come to an end.

Because he and Uchiha Sasuke are both reincarnations of Indra's Chakra.

He dies, and he is born.

Hanekawa seemed to be thinking about something.

There has been no news since Uchiha Obito was seriously injured.

Based on his understanding of Uchiha Madara, he is most likely seizing the time to train Uchiha Obito and arrange the Moon Eye Project.

If Uchiha Madara died, would Uchiha Obito be unable to sit still?

But fortunately there is still time.

Hanekawa will be able to learn the Flying Thunder God Technique by next year.

"You don't have to worry too much."

Tsunade glanced at him and said, "As you said before, in the face of absolute strength, schemes and tricks are useless."

Hanekawa knew that she had misunderstood, but he didn't explain.

After all, she didn't know about Uchiha Obito.

"I just want to get rid of Shimura Danzo as soon as possible."

Hanekawa smiled and said, "This old guy is quite annoying."

"He won't be arrogant for long."

Tsunade exhaled a breath of hot air and said, "If we weren't in the middle of a war, I would have captured him long ago."

She was referring to the Wood Release experiment.

"Um."

Seeing that she had finished eating the grilled fish, Hanekawa handed her another skewer.

"pity."

Tsunade showed regret on her face and sighed, "It would be nice if I could drink."

"Would you like a drink?"

Hanekawa blinked and said, "With your strength, drinking a little won't have any effect at all."

"Forget it. If I really drink two sips, I won't be able to stop."

Tsunade was tempted for a moment, but she resisted the urge.

Especially since she is now the deputy commander.

If Shimura Danzo found out that she was drinking, she would be framed again.

She was too lazy to argue with him.

"Then go back and drink."

Hanekawa looked at her troubled face and said with a smile.

"Um."

Tsunade finished eating the grilled fish, stretched, and let out a lazy groan.

Hanekawa looked at her subconsciously, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the undulating white skin.

"What are you looking at, little devil!"

Tsunade's eyes narrowed immediately and she reached out and pinched his face.

"Feel sorry."

Hanekawa admitted his mistake quickly.

"So you're still watching?"

A 'well' character appeared on Tsunade's forehead.

"Blame the teacher for being too charming."

Hanekawa looked away with difficulty.

Tsunade snorted softly and used both hands to knead his face like dough.

"hiss!"

Hanekawa took a breath and said, "It hurts!"

"Yeah?"

Tsunade's mouth curled up slightly, her mood became very good, and her hands moved more frequently.

“…”

For a moment, Hanekawa wanted to stretch out his hands and fight back.

But for the sake of his life, he didn't dare to do it.

"Okay, go back and rest."

Tsunade let go of her hand when she had enough fun.

"yes."

Hanekawa said weakly.

"how?"

Tsunade looked at him like an eggplant hit by frost and couldn't help asking, "Are you dissatisfied with the teacher?"

"I don't dare."

Hanekawa said casually.

Tsunade just looked at him with a smile.

When Hanekawa felt a little uneasy, she suddenly stood up and approached him.

Her snow-white skin is as smooth as cream and as delicate as a baby's.

Hanekawa couldn't help but be controlled for a second.

Then he felt himself falling into a warm embrace.

"Good night."

Tsunade hugged him, kissed him on the forehead, then stood up and left.

"wait……"

Hanekawa looked at her figure and couldn't help but feel regretful.

hateful!

Another sneak attack!

Hanekawa paused and couldn't help but smile.

He stood up, put on his shoes, and returned to the tent.

The next day, Hyuga Hizashi returned to Konoha Village.

He originally wanted to wait for Hyuga Neji to be born, but he chose the wrong time.

After staying for a few days, they had to return to the Konoha Village headquarters.

Tsunade and Hanekawa obtained the list of Root members currently in the Anbu.

Comparing them with the Root members in the Konoha Village base, it was found that there were only eight in total.

These were the eight Root members that Hanekawa had beaten up.

The next thing is relatively simple.

When Nohara Lin has nothing to do, she uses the spirit transformation technique to monitor.

In addition to practicing earth escape, Hanekawa also used his mind's eye to sense the movements of the eight Root members.

The two of them worked together and basically controlled their entire movement trajectory.

The time came to July.

"Congratulations."

Hanekawa comes to greet Hyuga Hizashi who has returned from Konoha Village.

He had returned to Konoha Village once before, but didn't make it in time for the birth of Hyuga Neji, so this time was just right.

"How do you know?"

Hinata Hizashi asked in surprise.

"Although you didn't say it, your expression has already betrayed you."

Hanekawa said with a smile.

Hyuga Hizashi's personality is somewhat similar to Hyuga Hiashi's, and he is relatively quiet.

But now his face is full of smiles.

"It's a boy!"

Hinata Hizashi said with a hint of excitement still in his tone.

"What's your name?"

Hanekawa asked curiously.

"Hinata Neji."

Hinata Hizashi said with a smile.

"He will surely become as strong as Uncle Hizashi."

Hanekawa said with blessing.

Judging from the original work, Hyuga Neji's talent is indeed stronger than Hyuga Hizashi's.

After all, he was able to teach himself the clan’s secret soft fist techniques, such as Hui Tian.

It's a pity that he died early.

"Thanks!"

Hinata Hizashi hesitated to speak, and finally said thank you.

He originally wanted to take this opportunity to propose that Hanekawa accept Hyuga Neji as his apprentice, but this would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among Hyuga Hiashi and the main family.

And even if Hinata Hiashi agrees, it will be difficult for Tsunade and Hanekawa to agree.

After all, with Hanekawa's status, it is impossible for her to accept two students from the Hyuga clan at the same time.

"Let's talk later."

Hanekawa smiled and said, "My mission today is to move the supplies you escorted back to the designated location."

Hinata Hizashi was slightly startled.

It's really outrageous that Danzo Shimura actually let Hanekawa do such a thing.

But Hanekawa didn't care at all, and the reason was very simple.

It's almost time for Shimura Danzo.

Because he obtained the A-level entry 'Earth escape Jonin' yesterday.

The effect is similar to that of 'Water Style Jonin', except that the power of Earth Style is increased by 150%.

Of course, the focus is Wood Release.

[A-level talent entry: Wood Release (Yamato version).]

[Trigger condition: Combined from the A-level entry 'Earth escape jonin' and the A-level entry 'Water escape jonin'. ]

【Effect: Automatically comprehend Wood Release.】

[Note: Adding A-level item Medical Jonin, A-level item Sealing Jonin and S-level item Chatonla can be combined into S-level item Wood Release (Senju Hashirama version). ]

There aren't many surprises in the Yamato version's Wood Release entry, it's just ordinary, with just one entry for comprehending Wood Release.

Instead, it was its promotion route that gave Hanekawa a huge surprise.

He could even advance to the Wood Release of Senju Hashirama? !
