Lurking in Konoha, part-time Hokage

After lunch, Hanekawa returned to his tent.

He is now eager to learn Wood Release Ninjutsu.

Hanekawa sat on the carpet and took out the ninjutsu scroll given by Tsunade.

He opened the scroll and turned to the page of Wood Release: Birth of the World of Trees.

Hanekawa watched for a while and then heard footsteps.

He subconsciously raised his eyes and saw a pair of bare feet on the carpet, walking towards him.

He knew who it was without even looking, Tsunade.

"teacher."

Hanekawa asked, "What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Learning Wood Release is not an easy task. I'll help you watch it. If you have any questions, you can ask me."

Tsunade explained as she sat down not far from him.

"Thank you, teacher."

Hanekawa suddenly felt warm in his heart.

When they say they're watching, they're actually worried that something might happen to him.

With Tsunade around, he can get the most timely treatment if anything happens to him.

"Just continue studying and don't worry about me."

Tsunade sat down cross-legged, resting her chin on her hands, and just stared at Hanekawa.

A daze gradually appeared on her face, and she remembered his previous request.

How could this kid be like a child and ask her not to leave him?

Tsunade's lips curled up slightly with a faint smile on her face.

Hanekawa didn't know what she was thinking, as she was fully devoted to studying Wood Release: Tree World Advent.

Wood Release is a bloodline limit and is indeed very difficult.

Especially the Wood Release: Tree World Advent.

There are two difficulties.

The first is to release a huge amount of chakra in an instant.

This requires extremely fast speed of refining and mobilizing chakra.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to have chakra far beyond that of ordinary ninjas.

Second, after creating a forest, you have to control the entire forest.

This requires extremely high chakra control ability.

Otherwise, if it only created the forest but could not control it, then Wood Release: Birth of a World of Trees would become an attacking ninjutsu that could not distinguish between friend and foe.

Fortunately, Hanekawa already has all three requirements.

Whether it is refining chakra, mobilizing chakra, or controlling chakra, he is an expert at it.

This is also thanks to his previous experience in learning medical ninjutsu, illusion techniques and various escape techniques.

Now it is time to make a breakthrough.

Night falls.

It became much quieter outside the tent.

The ninjas who had been on missions during the day returned to rest.

But in order to guard against sneak attacks from the Hidden Cloud Village, there will be patrolling ninjas.

Hanekawa closed the ninjutsu scroll and let out a breath.

It takes some time to learn Wood Release: Tree World Descent.

I don’t know whether the Hidden Cloud Village and Danzo Shimura will give it.

But it doesn’t matter if you don’t give it.

Hanekawa has already demonstrated Wood Release in front of Tsunade, so she must trust him 100% now.

Even if they knew he was a spy, they would just laugh it off.

Hanekawa came back to his senses and suddenly heard rhythmic breathing.

He turned his head and saw Tsunade lying on the carpet, fast asleep.

Most likely it was because staring at him was too boring and tired, so it turned out like this.

Hanekawa walked up to her and took out a blanket and covered her with it.

Tsunade's eyelashes fluttered slightly, but she didn't open them. Instead, she relaxed and fell into a deeper sleep.

Hanekawa hesitated for a few seconds, then reached out his hand and placed it on her soft golden hair.

Seeing that she didn't react, he touched her gently.

Hanekawa couldn't help but smile.

This is revenge.

But I haven’t finished reporting yet, I’ll talk about it later.

Hanekawa stood up and walked out of the tent.

"Humph, little devil!"

Tsunade still didn't open her eyes, she just turned over and pulled the blanket tighter around her.

There was a bright fire outside the tent, and it was time for dinner.

Since we are in the base camp, we don’t have to worry too much about the enemy, so we can make a fire and cook.

"Hanekawa."

A familiar voice sounded in my ears.

"Lin."

Hanekawa turned and looked at Nohara Rin.

In the night, the two purple patterns on her face looked dim.

"How's the root situation?"

Hanekawa asked.

"They stayed in their base camp as before and did not make any moves."

Nohara Lin replied.

"It looks like there's still time."

Hanekawa stroked his chin and said.

"What time?"

Nohara Lin was a little confused.

"Time for training."

Hanekawa asked casually, "Have you eaten?"

"We saw that you and the teacher didn't come out, so we had dinner with Hong first."

Nohara Lin explained.

If Hanekawa doesn't cook, they will follow the main group.

Although the taste is not that good, as a ninja, I can't be too picky at this time.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll cook for you tomorrow."

Hanekawa smiled and patted her head.

"No... I'm fine."

Nohara Lin lowered her head, her face slightly red, and she became very well-behaved.

"You go back and rest."

Hanekawa withdrew his hand and came to the river outside the base camp.

It took him half an hour to make two bento boxes.

One for him and the other for Tsunade.

Because he didn't know when Tsunade would wake up, he put it in the lunch box.

Hanekawa put away the lunch box and continued walking out.

When he reached an open space, he stopped.

Eye of the heart!

After making sure that there was no one nearby, Hanekawa began to make hand seals.

Wood Release: The Advent of the Tree World!

But halfway through the seal, Hanekawa frowned.

Because the body's chakra was mobilized too slowly, it couldn't keep up with his hand seal forming speed, nor did it meet the standard for release.

This situation would have been impossible before.

But there was no way, Wood Release: Tree World Descent required too much chakra to be mobilized, so he was a beat late the first time he mobilized it.

Hanekawa continued to make hand seals.

He didn't expect to succeed in one go.

Although he has many entries, it is Wood Release after all, so it cannot be that simple.

Two hours passed and the night deepened.

Hanekawa stopped practicing and turned back to the tent.

"What took you so long?"

Tsunade opened her eyes and asked.

"Practice Wood Release."

Hanekawa explained, "I haven't let anyone else know yet, so I can give the Hidden Cloud Village a surprise later."

"Do you really want to defeat the Fourth Raikage and the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki Killer Bee?"

Tsunade understood as soon as she heard it.

"It was difficult before, but now with Wood Release, I think it's very possible."

Hanekawa paused and asked, "Teacher, what do you think?"

"If your Wood Release could be one-third as powerful as Great Grandfather's, you could take down the Eight-Tails."

Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "We can definitely give it a try."

Hanekawa's mouth twitched.

one third?

You really think highly of me.

As for the amount of chakra that Hashirama Senju had, Hanekawa felt that he might have less than one-tenth of it.

But with the Yin Seal, there might be a slight possibility.

What is worrying Hanekawa now is that he cannot gather so much chakra in a short period of time, nor can he mobilize it so quickly.

But if you unlock the Yin Seal, you can do it easily.

Because after the Yin Seal is unlocked, the Hundred Heroes Technique can solve these two problems.

"It's just the right time to use their trick against me."

Tsunade sat up, snorted, and said, "My patience with that old guy Shimura Danzo has reached its limit."

The blanket fell off her body, revealing her stretchy top.

"Teacher, do you mean to capture Danzo Shimura after taking down the Fourth Raikage or Killer Bee?"

Hanekawa raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The reason why we didn't touch him before was because we were worried about the impact on the war."

Tsunade said sharply, "But if we can take down one of the Fourth Raikage or Killer Bee, then we have a sure win. There's no need to worry."

"Teacher, what are your plans?"

Hanekawa nodded slightly and asked.

"That depends on when you can learn Wood Release."

Tsunade softened her attitude and said with a smile, "With Wood Release, go and capture Shimura Danzo. I guarantee that no one will dare to help him."

"Give me another half month."

Hanekawa thought for a moment and said.

"That's fine."

Tsunade agreed immediately, "It just so happens that I can do something during this time."

"do what?"

Hanekawa asked curiously.

"What can we do? Just like you said before, we can dethrone Orochimaru."

Tsunade rubbed her forehead and asked, "Why do I feel like I'm on your pirate ship?"

Hanekawa couldn't help but be stunned.

Tsunade's plan to sideline Orochimaru was indeed beyond his expectations.

If you think about it carefully, it makes sense.

As long as he can take down the Fourth Raikage or Killer Bee, he can take action against Orochimaru and Danzo Shimura.

But...if we fail to take it, Konoha Village will inevitably be in civil strife, which will be a big trouble.

"Teacher, do you trust me so much?"

Hanekawa blinked and asked.

"If we want to capture Shimura Danzo, we must first weaken Orochimaru's command to prevent him from causing trouble."

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said.

Hanekawa suddenly thought of a question.

If he used Wood Release, the person who might be the happiest might not be Tsunade, but Orochimaru.

He has been coveting Wood Release for a long time.

Therefore, if he captured Danzo Shimura, Orochimaru would most likely stand idly by and then target him.

Strength is everything.

Hanekawa is not afraid of Orochimaru, but is annoyed by his many ways of surviving.

But now he is not as powerful as in the original.

Hanekawa thought of his previous method again, which was to imprison Orochimaru and force him to work hard on scientific research.

After all, everything he researched is very valuable.

"You don't need to think so much, all you have to do is learn Wood Release."

Tsunade changed the subject and asked, "I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"have."

Hanekawa took out the lunch box he had prepared earlier and began to heat it using Fire Release Chakra.

Tsunade felt the faint warmth and couldn't help but be lost in thought.

It was the first time for her to do something as risky as impersonating Orochimaru.

The root of the problem lies in Hanekawa and his Wood Release.

Although she didn't say it explicitly just now, she was indeed gambling because she trusted Hanekawa.

Whether it is the Fourth Raikage or Killer Bee, they are not so easy to defeat.

If it didn't work, Tsunade's reputation would take a huge hit.

After all, seizing power will not be allowed.

However, with her strength and status, nothing will happen to her. At worst, she will just not be the Hokage.

"Okay, teacher."

Hanekawa handed her the lunch box.

"Thanks."

Tsunade came to her senses and took the lunch box.

"What is there to thank between us?"

Hanekawa helped her open the lunch box, and the aroma immediately filled the air.

Tsunade glanced at him, then picked up her chopsticks and started eating.

"Teacher, do you need my help with your plan?"

Hanekawa looked at her soft lips and said, "My relationship with the Hyuga clan is okay."

"unnecessary."

Tsunade ate a piece of chicken and said, "Your relationship is my relationship."

"Too."

Hanekawa nodded.

In the ninja world, the relationship between teacher and student is extremely important, and can be said to be a shared honor and disgrace.

For example, in the eyes of many people, he and Tsunade are one or the same camp.

"I'll go talk to Uncle Sakumo."

Hanekawa suddenly thought of something and said.

With his current strength, and with his Lightning Release Chakra Mode exposed, it would not be a big problem for him to deal with the Fourth Raikage or Killer Bee.

But capturing them alive is even more difficult, and we need help.

Uchiha Shisui is the best candidate.

"OK."

Tsunade thought about it and didn't stop it.

"Teacher, do you still want to go back? Why not...sleep here?"

Hanekawa asked after Tsunade finished her bento.

"I'm not used to sleeping with two people."

Tsunade paused, then stood up and said, "See you tomorrow."

"pity."

Hanekawa put away his lunch box and continued watching the Wood Release Ninjutsu.

It’s still early, don’t waste it.

After the hot July, August came.

The second day of August.

Hanekawa came to Tsunade's tent early in the morning.

"You really are not shy at all."

Tsunade yawned and walked out of the sleeping bag.

She was awakened by the sound of Hanekawa's footsteps.

This little brat doesn't even knock on the door when she goes to bed.

"Because I know that with the teacher's strength, he will definitely be able to detect my arrival."

Hanekawa greeted, "Good morning, teacher."

"What's up so early?"

Tsunade stood there and stretched.

It is not comfortable to sleep with clothes on, let alone in a sleeping bag.

"Have you forgotten what day it is today?"

Hanekawa asked with a smile.

"Um?"

Tsunade's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and realization quickly showed on her face, "Oh, your birthday."

"It's your birthday too."

Hanekawa reminded.

“I don’t really want to have a birthday.”

Tsunade said nonchalantly, "It has no meaning other than making me a year older."

"Come with me."

Hanekawa took her hand and walked out.

Tsunade reacted, walked out of the tent, and withdrew her hand.

She followed Hanekawa out, feeling increasingly confused as to what he wanted to do.

After half an hour, it finally stopped.

"Just here, no outsiders."

Hanekawa first sensed his surroundings with his mind's eye, then put his hands together and formed a palm seal.

Wood Release: The Advent of the Tree World!

Tsunade only felt the ground tremble, and countless trees emerged from the ground and then grew.

In just a moment, lush trees grew all around her.

Tsunade bit her lip subconsciously.

She looked at the forest that had suddenly formed and felt as if she were in another world.

After so many years, she once again witnessed Hashirama Senju's Wood Release: The Birth of the World of Trees.

In her mind, this is an extremely special Wood Release Ninjutsu.

Many memories from the past emerged in her mind, and finally she set her sights on Hanekawa.

"Teacher, how about this birthday present?"

Hanekawa asked with a big smile on his face.

Tsunade felt her heartbeat quicken a little, and she unconsciously felt a long-lost happiness.

She laughed and said, "This birthday is very meaningful."
