As usual, Xingliu stood guard on the side, while the women were responsible for dealing with these cultists.
However, this operation was slightly different from the past, and Tsunade made a mistake.
Her skills have grown rapidly over the past three years, which may have made her a little careless.
In a moment of carelessness, she was cut by a cult member.
Immediately afterwards, the cultists who obtained her blood seized the opportunity to launch a sinister attack, causing her considerable harm.
Fortunately, she has indeed made rapid progress in the past few years. Even her self-healing ability is now comparable to Hashirama's, so even if her heart is stabbed, it is only a minor injury.
Then, Tsunade, who was getting serious, turned all of these people into fertilizer.
After completing this task, Xingliu originally planned to return directly to Konoha.
After all, he had already traveled to most parts of the ninja world, so there was no need for him to continue traveling.
Besides, Mito Uzumaki has already given an ultimatum.
Even if he doesn't go back, he can use the transformation technique to pass the Hokage position to him.
However, just as he was preparing to return to Konoha, the girls asked him to rest for a few days in the Land of Hot Springs.
Their reasoning was that Tsunade had been injured in the battle and needed time to recover.
Although Xingliu felt somewhat helpless and didn't quite understand why they insisted on it, he still respected their decision.
Upon learning that Xingliu had agreed to stay a few more days, the women cheered with joy, as if they had received some great news.
They went to the side, huddled together and whispered, their voices so low that they were almost inaudible.
Xingliu scratched his head, a hint of confusion on his face.
He sensed that something was off about these girls lately, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what it was.
Feeling somewhat frustrated by being kept in the dark, he decided to go to a hot spring alone to enjoy some peaceful time.
Meanwhile, the women left together after whispering to each other.
They seemed to have some secret plan, but they didn't realize that the ruler who left with them was just a shadow clone.
Xingliu arrived at the hot spring alone. Night had fallen, and a bright moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery light that illuminated the scenery around him.
He took off his clothes and slowly stepped into the hot spring.
The warm water enveloped his body, carrying away the fatigue and tension of the past few days.
He closed his eyes, took deep breaths, felt the warmth of the hot spring, and gradually relaxed his body and mind.
The surroundings were quiet, with only the faint chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the distance adding a touch of liveliness to the tranquil night.
The starlight allowed his thoughts to drift away with the ripples on the water.
The events of the past period flashed through his mind, from the battle with the cultists to Tsunade's injury, and then to the mysterious actions of the girls. Everything seemed to flash before his eyes like a movie.
He tried to find clues to understand why the women reacted that way.
But thoughts, like ripples in a hot spring, spread out and then return to calm, without a clear answer.
Thinking of this, he sighed and shook his head, feeling that girls were really hard to understand.
He then focused his attention on his auto-play system, and after three years, his abilities had changed again.

Xingliu looked thoughtfully at the system's prompts.
He could understand hint three, which was simply the actions of the First Emperor, but hint four left him completely baffled.
However, Xingliu didn't dwell on it for long.
After all, his current level of life has reached a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach. Even if he is not immortal, he still has a lifespan of tens of thousands of years.
Therefore, he believed that as long as the time spent idling was long enough, he would naturally come to understand the true meaning contained in Tip 4.
With that thought in mind, he cleared his mind, quietly soaked in the hot spring, and enjoyed the tranquility.
After an unknown amount of time, Xingliu felt her body completely relax. The nourishing hot spring water penetrated deep into her skin, as if washing away all her worries and doubts.
He took a deep breath and prepared to stand up from the hot spring.
However, at that very moment, the wooden door behind him was suddenly and gently pulled open.
Xingliu immediately and keenly noticed this change, and almost instinctively sat back down.
A flicker of doubt crossed his mind.
This is a privately rented hot spring bath, so there shouldn't be any other people disturbing it.
"Starflow-kun, are you inside?"
Just as he was filled with doubt, a familiar voice entered his ears—it was Zhili's voice.
The sudden sound resolved his confusion.
Xingliu composed himself slightly and replied, "Yes, Zhili, I'm here."
The wooden door was pushed open, and Zhili's figure appeared in the doorway.
She was wearing a kimono, and her hair was wet, clearly she had just taken a bath.
When she saw Xingliu, a smile appeared on her face, and then she lowered her head shyly.
This scene made Xingliu's heart skip a beat, as if he understood something.
Chapter 156 Growth (5)
He couldn't help but take a closer look at the governance.
At this moment, she was wearing an exquisite kimono. The kimono had soft colors and smooth lines, as if she were wearing the scene of cherry blossoms in full bloom in spring, which was gorgeous and charming.
The belt around her waist cinched tightly, outlining her slender waistline and further highlighting her graceful figure.
Her body curves were subtly revealed under the kimono, exuding a subtle and elegant beauty.
At this moment, her blushing face, caused by shyness, added an alluring touch to her beauty.
That shy blush, like the morning glow reflected on the rising sun, evoked feelings of tenderness and affection.
Her eyes were lowered, not daring to look Xingliu directly in the eye, yet she would steal glances at him from time to time, her eyes revealing a shyness and anticipation that was incredibly captivating.
Xingliu was so captivated by the scene that he didn't snap out of his daze until Zhili's face became even more radiant.
To avoid embarrassment, he coughed, trying to cover up his blunder: "Governor, what brings you here?"
Zhili looked up shyly at Xingliu, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and nervousness.
She didn't say anything then; she simply closed the door silently and cast a seal.
This series of actions made Xingliu raise an eyebrow slightly, and he fully understood the idea of governance.
But this also made him feel incredulous that the governance was so bold.
Meanwhile, after finishing everything he had just done, Zhili had arrived at the hot spring.
She took off her kimono, revealing her snow-white skin, and then gracefully glided into the hot spring.
She closed her eyes, took deep breaths, and tried to calm herself down.
The two of them soaked quietly in the hot spring, surrounded by tranquility and warmth.
Time seemed to stand still, broken only by the ripples created by a gentle breeze on the water's surface.
After a long while, Zhili mustered the courage to break the silence.
She opened her eyes, looked directly into Xingliu's eyes, and her voice trembled slightly:
“Starflow, do you know? I actually hated you when I was little. Because Grandpa always mentioned you in front of me, which made me feel like you had stolen his love.”
She paused for a moment, as if sorting out her inner feelings:
"But over the years, I've slowly fallen in love with you and can't live without you."
After saying this, Zhili's face turned as red as a ripe apple, and she was very shy.
Her eyes also became hazy, revealing a captivating charm.
Xingliu gazed at her silently.
His silence made Zhili's heart sink, his face turned pale, and his eyes glistened with tears.
Just when Zhili thought Xingliu was going to reject her, his gaze suddenly softened.
"Are you sure you won't regret it?"
Upon hearing this, Zhili didn't say much, but expressed his thoughts through his actions.
........
Meanwhile, Tsunade and the others stared at the shadow clones in control with puzzled expressions, a sense of unease rising within them.
"You're not going to run away, are you?" Tsunade asked tentatively.
Upon hearing this, the governing entity immediately shook its head repeatedly and replied firmly:
