Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

He does want to do *that*, but obviously it won't be that soon.

What we need to do now is to gradually push the boundaries.

Tsunade frowned and stared at him.

She naturally didn't believe his purpose was that simple.

"I also prepared a gift for the teacher."

"Oil Girl Zhihui added."

He was referring to the several plant-based Gu that the Hundred-Year Wood Spirit possessed.

Anyway, he has no use for it.

Tsunade turned and walked towards Hinata and the others.

Just when Zhihui thought his invitation had failed, she suddenly said, "Midnight."

"I'll definitely be there!"

Oil Girl Zhihui quickly responded.

"Keep your voice down!"

Tsunade glared at him angrily.

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded with a smile.

"..."

Tsunade didn't know whether to be angry or happy.

Making that decision made her heart beat a few beats faster than usual.

Oil Girl Zhihui followed.

Soon, they returned to the mouth of the valley.

"The problem over there has been resolved. Have you found the micro-fragrant insects?"

"It's oil-loving Zhihui who asked the question."

"This is a fragrant insect."

Shino Aburame opened her hand, and in her palm was a black insect that resembled a longhorn beetle.

"Alright, mission accomplished. Let's move on to the next mission."

Aburame Shiki said with a smile, "You'd better be on your best for the mission of Raiga Kurosuki, one of the former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist."

"Yes!"

Shino Aburame was really looking forward to it.

Only Kiba Inuzuka trembled with fear.

Is there something wrong?

Me, a Chunin, going to fight Raiga Kurosuki?

"don’t worry."

Yu Nu Zhihui patted him on the shoulder and said, "You just need to deal with the Black Hoe family under his command."

"That's no problem!"

Kiba Inuzuka felt like he had come back to life.

"Set off."

Aburame Shiki looked at Tsunade.

However, she didn't even glance at him, completely ignoring him.

Two in one.

Chapter 204 Tsunade's Initiative Kiss (Third and Fourth Updates)

Night falls.

As the moonlight shone down, Aburame Shiki opened his eyes.

He arrived at Tsunade's tent as agreed, and just as he was about to speak, he heard the words "Come in."

Was she waiting for him all along?

A subtle sense of déjà vu washed over Yu Nuzhihui.

It's like a secret rendezvous under the moon, as depicted in a TV drama from a past life.

Yu Nuzhihui thought for a moment and then went into the tent.

Tsunade didn't lie in her sleeping bag like she did the night before. Instead, she sat on the carpet, dressed in the same clothes as during the day.

"Good evening, teacher."

Oil Girl Zhihui sat down cross-legged opposite her.

He opened the storage scroll and took out the late-night snacks he had prepared in advance.

Tsunade watched him quietly.

Only after he had poured the wine did he snatch the glass and drink it all in one gulp.

She hasn't drunk alcohol for two days in a row because she's on a mission.

However, Zhihui, the oil-loving woman, still gave her honey wine.

In other words, she has two bottles stored away and is waiting to drink them when she gets back.

"Aren't you going to drink?"

Tsunade noticed that he was staring at her and asked him a question.

"Together."

Oil Girl Zhihui raised his glass and toasted with her.

After drinking, Tsunade reverted to her usual self, becoming carefree and easygoing again.

"teacher."

Aburame Shiki casually asked, "Do you remember the parasitic worm bloodline limit I told you about?"

"The limit of blood inheritance?"

Tsunade took a sip of her drink, her face slightly flushed, and with a soft hum, asked, "Where are there so many bloodline limits?"

At first, she did believe in the concept of bloodline limits.

But as the number of Gu worms that Yu Nu Zhi Hui displayed increased, she began to have doubts.

"It's actually evolution."

Oil Girl Zhihui spoke nonsense with a straight face, "Insects will evolve naturally according to environmental factors, I just helped them."

How does it evolve?

Tsunade frowned and asked.

"Controlled variable method".

Yu Nu Zhihui made up a story, saying, "Keep all the other conditions unchanged, and only change one of them, and you can get all kinds of evolution."

Why are you telling me all this?

Tsunade continued drinking her wine.

Although she didn't believe the explanation of bloodline limits, she believed in Shiki Aburame.

After all, it wouldn't harm her; on the contrary, it gave her lifespan.

Therefore, she never asked where he got so many Gu worms from.

Her sudden confession now seemed strange to her.

"Hinata's Ice Release was brought about by the insects I gave her."

Yu Nu Zhihui said with a smile, "I call it the Snow Maiden Gu because it was born under icy and snowy conditions."

"To refine insects into poison?"

Tsunade paused, realizing what was happening, and asked, "The gift you mentioned earlier was Gu?"

"good."

You Nu Zhihui nodded and said, "Several Gu have evolved in the forest environment."

"forest?"

Tsunade paused slightly, a look of shock on her face, and asked, "Could it be... Wood Release?"

"Teacher, you are so smart."

"Oil Girl Zhihui said with a big smile."

"..."

Tsunade stared at him blankly.

Wood Release holds a very special meaning for her.

It is Hashirama Senju's bloodline limit, the symbol of the Senju clan, and the emblem of Konoha Village.

Tsunade possesses the bloodline of the Senju clan.

She had hoped that she would awaken Wood Release, but she didn't.

Not only her, but the entire Senju clan has not produced a second one.

The Wood Release experiment came at such a heavy price, with only Yamato succeeding.

Furthermore, Yamato's Wood Release is far inferior to Hashirama Senju's Wood Release.

Now that Shiki Aburame is telling her that she can evolve a Gu that allows her to use Wood Release, it's simply a fantasy.
