Start with Naruto Awakening - Awesome!

　It seems necessary to develop a unique substitute technique, the Golden-edged Peeling Ninjutsu, to counter such close-range attacks in the future.

　idiot!

　However, just then, an angry voice came from behind.

　Before Jiraiya could react, a powerful iron fist slammed into his head, sending his hammer flying.

　boom!

　Upon seeing this, the surrounding ninjas quickly pushed them aside.

　Since they couldn't afford to offend the person in question, they all avoided him.

　Tsunade's forehead was furrowed, her anger blazing, and her fists clenched tightly.

　Orochimaru instinctively took two steps back and couldn't help but ask, "Tsunade, what are you doing? Why are you hitting Jiraiya?"

　也?

　"Yeah, why did you hit me! I need a kidney!" Jiraiya muttered, half of his body still buried in the ground.

　"Nothing, I'm just annoyed. Seeing you makes me want to punch you!" Tsunade said matter-of-factly.

　Orochimaru

　Jiraiya.

　In the distance, Minato Namikaze, who had originally come to greet his teacher, stood among the ninjas, looking both amused and exasperated.

　Jiraiya-sensei is still so captivating; he's the center of attention wherever he goes!

　Then, he quietly left. His senior uncle Tsunade was so angry; if he went, he'd probably get beaten up too!

　It's better to avoid trouble!

　"What are you looking at? Everyone disperse!" Tsunade glared at everyone and shouted domineeringly.

　Upon hearing this, the ninjas who had gathered from all directions dispersed.

　There was no way to refuse; it was Princess Tsunade's own order.

　"You're so angry, it can't be because of Jiraiya, right, Tsunade?" Orochimaru said.

　Him? Of course not! He's just used to beating people up, and he was in a bad mood, so he threw a punch subconsciously.

　He said frankly.

　Jiraiya, who had just gotten up from the ground, felt as if he had been struck by an arrow to the heart again, a feeling that was hard to describe.

　Is it really a good idea for Tsunade to say this without any attempt to hide her true feelings?

　This is outrageous!

　Orochimaru silently mourned for Jiraiya for three seconds, even though this guy didn't deserve any sympathy.

　At that moment, Jiraiya also walked over. Having gotten used to being beaten by Tsunade, he could tolerate this minor injury.

　Why are you so angry?! Jiraiya came over and asked.

　(1/3)

　Road.

　Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya and asked, "Are you alright? Do you need me to heal you?"

　No need, there's no need for formalities between us. Jiraiya politely declined, though he secretly longed for Tsunade to kiss him.

　He wanted to treat him with his hands, but he was too embarrassed to say it and wanted to appear manly.

　"Then I won't hold back. You're a Jonin, after all; taking a punch shouldn't be a problem," Tsunade said.

　Jiraiya's heart was struck by an arrow again, unnoticed.

　Orochimaru secretly chuckled to himself, but outwardly remained calm.

　Shizuka continued, "Tsunade, where did you go just now?"

　She went to see Ye Chen. Tsunade didn't hide anything and said it directly.

　Orochimaru and Jiraiya are both trustworthy and close friends.

　Just as I expected. Orochimaru smiled, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

　"You knew all along? I thought Tsunade went to see her brother. You didn't go to see Nawaki?" Jiraiya asked.

　My head is starting to hurt.

　Why see Ye Chen when his younger brother is nowhere to be found? What is there to see about that cold-blooded, abnormally powerful brat?

　Nawaki? He's not a child. I can't possibly follow him around all the time. He's a man of the Senju clan!

　"Is it really that fragile?" Tsunade said.

　"Then why did you see Ye Chen?" Jiraiya asked.

　"Sure, I'll see you if you want! You have a problem with that?" Tsunade said directly.

　Heh, Tsunade, you probably have other thoughts behind you, don't you? Seeing how angry you were just now, something else must have happened.

　"This is something unexpected," Orochimaru said.

　Tsunade glanced at Orochimaru and said, "I can't hide it from you after all, unlike Jiraiya who's so stupid."

　Actually, it's not a big deal. You know, Ye Chen isn't young anymore; he's in the prime of his youth.

　Good Times, you guys think their strength is considerable, right?

　Fresh flowers

　"Not weak," Orochimaru said.

　He's not weak, he's practically inhumanly strong! Compared to him, I feel utterly ashamed. He can tear apart a Jinchuriki with his bare hands, and...

　"To arm wrestle with the Tsuchikage and Kazekage. I'd need at least ten more years of training to reach that level," Jiraiya said.

　Yes, that makes sense.

　Even though he's already this strong, Ye Chen still says he'll train relentlessly, without any distractions. He wants to stand like my grandfather...

　"The pinnacle of the ninja world, isn't that infuriating?" Tsunade said.

　"That shows that Lord Ye has lofty ambitions!" Orochimaru said.

　Yes, this is something to be encouraged. Striving for excellence and having a positive spirit are commendable, and there's nothing to be angry about.

　Laiye said.

　Do you guys only care about training? Even ninjas need to make a living, right? Ye Chen is so young...

　"Wouldn't living that kind of monotonous life be too dull and boring?" Tsunade glared at the two of them and said...

　Ci said excitedly.

　That's their own choice. As for me, I plan to cultivate my skills, travel the world, and write novels all at the same time.

　"That's how my life is, all planned out. Orochimaru, what about you?" Jiraiya asked.

　"Cultivate, study ninjutsu, cultivate, study ninjutsu," Orochimaru replied.

　(2/3)

　Well, at this point, Tsunade had truly experienced how boring and dull men can be.

　So what exactly is Yoruichi's problem? Or is it Tsunade, what's wrong with you? Jiraiya tried to ask.

　You're the one with the problem!

　idiot!

　Tsunade glared at Jiraiya, then slapped him across the face, sending him flying.

　Then, in a menacing manner, he turned and left, quickly disappearing from sight.

　Jiraiya sat on the ground, covering his face, utterly bewildered, and on the verge of tears, said: "Is this bullying an honest person?" (Tsunade)

　That's so unreasonable! Do you know how hard I work? I'll get beaten to death by her sooner or later.

　"Don't you think Tsunade is acting strangely, Jiraiya?" Orochimaru said mysteriously.

　"Something's not right?" Jiraiya asked, leaning closer.

　Spring must have arrived! Orochimaru suddenly looked up, sighed deeply, and then left.

　spring?

　Where is spring?

　Jiraiya looked around and saw only gloomy clouds and a light drizzle. (3/3)

Chapter 225 Is There No Successor to Wood Release? (Third Update)

　This content was first released one day before the four-way meeting between Konoha, Iwagakure, Sunagakure, and Amegakure. At this moment, regarding the Land of Rain...

　The war has completely stopped, and there are no more scenes of ninja battles in the Land of Rain.

　All four factions are preparing for this negotiation. Although it's not on the battlefield, an atmosphere of tension is palpable.

　The battlefield, however, is even more treacherous and unpredictable.
