Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

Meanwhile, Tsunade, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer and was rolling around on the ground laughing while clutching her stomach.

Orochimaru was relatively more reserved, but he also covered his mouth and stood aside, secretly laughing.

The farcical scene came to an end, and after canceling their summons, everyone had a good night's rest in the forest.

During the next two days of their journey, they did not encounter any more enemies blocking their way.

Thanks to this, the group's journey was much faster than expected.

At this moment, they were sitting in a small boat.

The boatman, standing at the bow, was working hard to propel the small boat, preparing to take the group to the other side.

The Land of Whirlpools is an island not far from the mainland, and there is currently no other way to reach it except by ferry.

This is the final leg of their journey; once they reach the shore, they will officially arrive in the Land of Whirlpools.

Sitting on the boat, looking at the ever-expanding coastline in the distance, Kagura couldn't help but sigh.

At that time, the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha had already signed a friendship pact. In order to show the friendship between the two countries for generations, the Konoha leaders even printed the Uzumaki clan's mark on the Jonin uniforms.

With Konoha as a steadfast ally on the outside and the formidable presence of the first clan leader, Ashina Uzumaki, on the inside.

During this period, the Whirlpool Clan was still able to protect the peace of the village.

【Disgusted with the world/The story of the car is about the car's position ⑨ 8 ろ㈣ ⑨②】

However, in the storyline he was familiar with, the Land of Whirlpools before him would be destroyed within the next ten years or so.

As a result, the Whirlpool Clan was forced to scatter in all directions.

The reason for this is that other races are afraid of the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan.

After all, it's a ninjutsu that can seal even monsters of the tailed beast level.

Possessing treasures but lacking the corresponding power, only destruction awaits them.

With the first clan leader, Uzumaki Ashina, gone and Konoha preoccupied with its own problems, the village was in dire need of help.

In just a few years, the Land of Whirlpools and the Whirlpool Clan vanished into history.

The collision of the wooden boats as they docked also brought Kagura back to reality.

When everyone disembarked and stood on the dock, it meant that the mission was complete.

Tomikawa bowed deeply to everyone to express his gratitude and immediately settled the remaining payment for the mission with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

The fee for this B-rank mission was 12 taels, but Hiruzen Sarutobi declined the reward this time.

After deducting the village's share, each of the four members of Kagura's group received nearly 2 taels.

(The cost of a typical B-level mission is around 8 to 20, but this is the total amount the team can earn. The village will deduct a certain amount of "taxes" from this amount.)

(By the way, let me explain the currency system in Naruto. 1 ryo ≈ 10 yen ≈ 0.5 Chinese yuan.)

After bidding farewell to Fuchuan, Hiruzen Sarutobi announced to everyone that he would stay in the Land of Whirlpools for two days, during which time everyone would be free to move around.

After all, his purpose in coming here was to visit the patriarch of the Uzumaki clan in order to maintain friendly relations between the two countries.

This involves a set of diplomatic procedures, and strictly speaking, two days is relatively short.

Before parting, Hiruzen Sarutobi gave them the payment for the mission so they could enjoy their time here.

Looking at the mission fee she had just received, Kagura couldn't help but sigh that being a ninja was indeed a lucrative profession.

Although the mission fee will be split equally among the team members, it only takes 3 or 4 days to earn the equivalent of 1 Chinese Yuan in the original world.

Even my pre-time-travel self didn't have this kind of money-making ability.

Sarutobi-sensei left, taking Orochimaru with him.

Orochimaru wanted to study the sealing techniques of the Land of Whirlpools, so he asked Hiruzen Sarutobi to take him to the clan chief.

See if we can get permission from the Uzumaki clan leader to have the opportunity to visit their academy or directly find a Jonin and witness the legendary sealing technique in person.

The remaining three looked at each other, unsure of where to go next.

To be honest, as ninjas, they rarely had such free time.

He's either cultivating or carrying out missions.

Now that they have real free time, they don't know what to do with it.

With his hands behind his head, Jiraiya suggested that he wanted to visit the bookstore there and left on his own.

Ever since he heard the prophecy spoken by the Great Toad Sage at Mount Myōboku, knowing that he would become a writer who travels the world, he began to take an interest in books from all over the world.

During his trip to the Land of Whirlpools, he also wanted to take the opportunity to see if there were any books that Konoha Village didn't have.

Kagura and Tsunade, left behind, exchanged a helpless glance.

After a moment of silence, Kagura finally spoke:

"Yes, it's still early."

How about we go for a stroll through the village?

This is a rare opportunity for us to travel abroad.

Tsunade nodded in agreement to Kagura's suggestion.

So the man and woman began to wander aimlessly through Uzuhidden Village.

Looking at Kagura's back in front of her, Tsunade belatedly realized that it was just the two of them.

Two people...one man and one woman... shopping...

Is this...is this the legendary date?

Chapter 16 The Girl’s Thoughts

Once the word "date" popped into her mind, it became impossible to suppress.

Tsunade felt her face rapidly heat up, and her feet seemed to float in mid-air, each step feeling like she was walking on clouds.

In fact, as time went on, she realized that she had fallen in love with the simpleton in front of her.

When she first met him at school, she was simply looking for trouble because she disliked the Uchiha clan due to the influence of Tobirama's second uncle.

But when she saw that the other person was indifferent to her provocation, she became serious.

If you resist or show fear, that's fine, after all, she's not an unreasonable person, and she'll let it go after bullying you once.

But you're ignoring me?

Then I'll have to make you take my existence seriously.

Later, on one occasion, I noticed a hint of impatience in the other person's delicate face.

No, what do you mean?

Shouldn't I feel angry?

Is your impatience because you think I'm childish?

Then, as the one who provoked her, she became angry, and inexplicably, she threw a punch at Kagura.

But she only felt a sudden shift in her vision, and when she regained consciousness, she found herself knocked to the ground.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya also fell down beside him.

At that moment, she was truly stunned.

Who is she?

Tsunade, the famous princess of Konoha Village.

Even the legendary god-like figure Hashirama Senju, I peed on his head quite a few times when I was a kid.

How dare you, a mere kid, hit yourself?

Moreover, as a descendant of the Senju clan, he was considered a genius among this year's freshmen.

However, he was instantly killed by an unknown Uchiha kid.

Proud as she was, she didn't tell her family about it when she got home, but it did ignite her competitive spirit towards Kagura.

But after that incident, Kagura seemed to have completely abandoned some kind of bottom line.

From then on, every time he provoked him with his words, he would beat him up without hesitation.

Even Orochimaru, who stood to the side without saying a word, was not spared.

And so, they studied at school for three years, and were entangled with each other for three years.

Fortunately, perhaps because they developed a friendship through fighting, or perhaps because they grew up, Kagura realized that hitting girls was inappropriate.

They gradually stopped fighting and instead developed a strange friendship.

They then graduated, and in the graduation exam, he lost again, while that guy once again got first place.

After learning about the class assignments, I thought my relationship with that guy was over.

That's why she insisted so strongly that Kagura celebrate with them that time.

Unexpectedly, they met again during the class placement assessment the next day.

No one knew the sudden joy that welled up in her heart when she saw Kagura that day.

It was at that moment that she realized she had probably fallen for that annoying guy.

In the subsequent assessment, that person actually defeated Sarutobi-sensei!

That's Sarutobi-sensei, who's about to become Hokage!

Um... although the last move was rather unsightly...

Later, when Sarutobi-sensei was away, he gradually became the leader of the team without realizing it.

Even she didn't realize that she, who had always been so strong-willed, had unquestioningly accepted that guy's leadership position.

Then, a few days ago, during a mission, she watched Kagura reaping the lives of enemies like a grim reaper, and she completely fell for her.

This man is so handsome, even from behind!

Noticing Tsunade's unusual behavior behind her, Kagura turned around and looked over.
