Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 155 Implantation of the Tailed Beast - Five-Tails - Kokuoh

Aokiji: ? ? ?

Tsunade crossed her arms, trying to emphasize something, but ultimately emphasizing nothing: "If it weren't for your greed this time, none of that would have happened. So, it's all your fault."

Aokiji lowered his head, seemingly reflecting earnestly.

Orochimaru came to his rescue: "This is something no one expected."

Tsunade sighed, "You're too biased towards Aokiji."

Orochimaru chuckled and said, "Perhaps..."

Tsunade gave Orochimaru a meaningful look, finding it hard to believe that someone like Orochimaru would one day commit such a heinous act as patricide.

Jiraiya joked, "Tsunade, you're as harsh on Aokiji as ever."

"That's the kind of attitude you have to take to deal with this kind of lazy guy," Tsunade scoffed. "And you have no right to say that to him."

Jiraiya was innocently dragged into this: "Why am I being dragged into this again...?"

"Alright, let's not talk about that." Aokiji changed the subject: "Orochimaru, I have something for you."

Orochimaru was bewildered.

Aokiji took out the exquisitely packaged long gift box, opened it, and inside lay a long sword, its hilt drooping down in the shape of a snake, looking quite remarkable.

This sword is the Kusanagi Sword that Aokiji seized from Orochimaru in the future. Since Aokiji had no use for it, he simply gave it away.

"This is..."

Orochimaru could tell at a glance that this sword was of extraordinary origin.

"I looked into this sword, and it seems to be the same type of Kusanagi sword as my Enma. You see, the hilt of this sword is a snake. I remembered that you like snakes, so I decided to give you this Kusanagi sword. Anyway, I have no use for it."

Kusanagi Sword?

Orochimaru had heard of the Kusanagi Sword, but he never expected that Aokiji would give away a weapon of such caliber so easily.

Although he acted very casually, Orochimaru thought that Aokiji was putting on an act because he was afraid that he wouldn't dare to accept the gift because it was too valuable.

"Thanks."

There was no point in saying more; Orochimaru decided that he would definitely repay Aokiji properly in the future.

"You're welcome."

Jiraiya, not understanding, asked, "What is the Kusanagi sword?"

Aokiji explained to him what level of weapon the Kusanagi Sword was.

Jiraiya, upon hearing this, cried out in disbelief.

Aokiji said, "You're not good with swords, so there's nothing I can do with you."

"That's true," Jiraiya said. He wasn't good with longswords, but it didn't bother him.

Aokiji suggested, "How about we pay for you to go to the red-light district once you've recovered? I've never been before."

Jiraiya's eyes lit up: "Great! Great!"

Tsunade: Stare...

A chill ran down Aokiji's spine, and he decisively declared, "Never mind..."

Jiraiya: ? ? ?

"I have already given up pornography."

Jiraiya: ? ? ?

Under pressure, Aokiji explained, "The only constant in this world is change, and I'm no exception. In the past, I always wanted to marry several wives, fantasizing about having multiple wives. But as I've grown older and gained more knowledge, I've realized that polygamy is simply impossible. So, I'll settle down from now on, have a simple relationship, get married, and have children."

Tsunade nodded slightly, satisfied.

Jiraiya exclaimed that he couldn't understand it at all. Was this still the Aokiji he knew?

Aokiji patted him on the shoulder and advised, "Jiraiya, be more mature. You shouldn't go peeping at women's bathhouses and such in the future."

"Let's quit pornography together. Then go out more. Read some books you like, go to places you enjoy, and spend time with people you like. When you're bored in the evening, meet up with some friends for tea and a chat. Really, by the end of the day, you'll find that quitting pornography is good for your physical and mental health."

Jiraiya thought it made a lot of sense, but there was a fatal problem with what he said.

What does it mean to spend time with someone you like?

If he had that opportunity, who would peep into the women's bathhouse? Wouldn't it be better to be intimate with his girlfriend?

Jiraiya narrowed his eyes, his gaze scrutinizing: "Could it be that you already have a girlfriend?"

Like all celebrities who are suspected of having a relationship and immediately deny it, Aokiji also did: "How could that be?"

"You're right~" Jiraiya, feeling comforted, shook his head: "I knew it! How could someone like Aokiji possibly get a cute girlfriend? If he gets a girlfriend before me, I'll eat this table! Haha..."

As he spoke, he tapped the table with his finger, making a "thump-thump" sound.

Even though I already have a girlfriend, Aokiji inexplicably wanted to punch Jiraiya while listening to this, wondering what kind of image he had in Jiraiya's mind.

Jiraiya, our friendship has capsized.

"Hehe..." Tsunade laughed herself to death.

Jiraiya asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

Tsunade scoffed, "I have to say, you boys are so boring. At this age, instead of focusing on training and improving your strength, you're just thinking about this and that all day long."

Orochimaru, who had been silent all along, thought for a moment and realized that his chance to repay the favor was coming: "Aokiji, if you really want a girlfriend, I can introduce you to someone."

Tsunade: ? ? ?

Aokiji: ? ? ?

Jiraiya: ?

Tsunade was taken aback; "You know a lot of women?"

Orochimaru explained, "I don't know them, but these women will come up to me on their own."

Tsunade:……

She recalled that since she started school, Orochimaru had never lacked female resources, but he himself wasn't particularly interested in them.

Orochimaru continued, "Women will only slow down my research."

Tsunade said rather unhappily, "I don't think there's a girl among the people you know who's suitable for Aokiji."

Orochimaru said, "How will we know if we don't try?"

Tsunade scoffed, "I'm speechless. How could you say something like that? Any girl with a modicum of common sense wouldn't accept him."

Orochimaru spoke up for him: "You're too prejudiced against Aokiji."

Tsunade declared righteously, "Listen up, Aokiji. While he may have some ninja talent, he's greedy, lecherous, and cowardly. He never takes the initiative. Pushing those girls who admire you onto him is like pushing them into a fire pit. Understand?"

Aokiji remained silent, then turned and left.

Tsunade asked him, "Where?"

Without turning his head, Aokiji said, "Stay away from this hellhole of mine."

After saying that, he left in a huff.

Jiraiya was used to the two of them bickering, and chuckled, "Tsunade, you've made Aokiji angry, aren't you going to apologize to him?"

"Tch, who wants to apologize to him?"

One minute later, on the hospital rooftop.

Tsunade found Aokiji: "You weren't really angry just now, were you?"

"What do you think?" Aokiji's face darkened. "How can you talk about your boyfriend like that?"

Tsunade said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I was just..."

"Haha, just kidding."

Tsunade was taken aback, then pinched the muscles under his ribs in annoyance and shame, only stopping when Aokiji begged for mercy.

Aokiji rested his hands on the railing, his hair fluttering in the wind as he gently tossed it: "But speaking of which, what you just said was so convincing that it almost fooled me."

"Huh?" Tsunade replied honestly, "I was just telling the truth."

Aokiji chuckled awkwardly, "This doesn't sound like a joke."

Tsunade laughed and said, "Because this is no joke."

Aokiji: ...

Tsunade clasped her hands behind her back: "But let me tell you: even though you have many flaws, I still hopelessly fall in love with you, just as only Aokiji is the one I date, and only I am the one who can date Aokiji."

"At least for me, I can't imagine anyone other than Aokiji being my boyfriend, Tsunade. Aokiji, do you have the guts to betray someone as devoted as me?"

The blue pheasant gazed into the distance; the sky was vast, and birds flew by.

The golden sunlight shone on her, making her fair skin, brown eyes, and golden hair shine brightly.

The gentle curve of her hair reflected the sun, and even more so, it reflected Aokiji's heart.

This is a woman who reaches the very depths of his heart.

He thought that he would no longer be interested in other women.

Aokiji took a step forward.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

Aokiji responded to her with his actions, stealing her lips.

"Waaah..."

Their lips parted, and Tsunade puffed out her cheeks: "You're so cunning, so sudden."

Aokiji said frankly, "I just can't help wanting to kiss you."

Tsunade's cheeks flushed slightly, and she asked shyly, "What if someone sees us?"

"Whatever, I'll beat anyone who objects."

Tsunade was impressed by his domineering aura at that moment and lowered her head slightly.

Hehehe, dating is really interesting...

For the first time in his life, Aokiji had a real goal he wanted to protect and strive for.

…………

Uchiha clan territory, training grounds.

"Huff, huff..." Aokiji panted heavily, swallowed hard, moistened his dry throat, and prepared to continue training.

"Stop it. If you continue like this, you'll exceed your physical limits. Your body won't be able to take it, and it could even be life-threatening," Elder Itachi stopped Aokiji from continuing his training.

"I see……"

Aokiji exhaled a breath. The more he cultivated, the more he felt that he had the will but not the strength.

I don't have enough chakra.

The amount of chakra is not only reflected in combat, but also in the level of cultivation.

For example, Kakashi might be exhausted after just one hour of training if he goes all out, and it would take him several days to recover. But Naruto could train all day without any problems, take a nap, and be full of energy the next day. That's the difference.

During the break, Aokiji caught his breath: "Elder Itachi, our Uchiha clan is the strongest Fire Release clan in the ninja world, right?"

Elder Itachi nodded in agreement.

Aokiji asked, "I know that the difficulty of ninjutsu is ranked from highest to lowest as five levels: S, A, B, C, and D. I have some experience with the last four levels of fire-style ninjutsu, but I have never even heard of the highest level, S-rank ninjutsu."

Elder Itachi calmly replied, "This is an ultimate fire-style ninjutsu that only the clan leader can access. It's normal that you haven't heard of it."

Aokiji expressed his full understanding.

Elder Itachi chuckled, "What's wrong with you now? A-rank ninjutsu is no longer enough for you, and you're starting to yearn for the more powerful S-rank ninjutsu?"

Aokiji readily admitted it.

Elder Itachi poured cold water on him: "Give up. S-rank ninjutsu is still too early for you. Putting aside the clan rules and the difficulty of training, the most important thing is that the chakra required for a typical offensive S-rank ninjutsu is beyond what an ordinary person can withstand. Not to mention you now, who knows what your future self might do? One S-rank fire ninjutsu could instantly drain your chakra, leaving you weak on the spot, and in severe cases, even in danger of death."

Aokiji sighed. As expected, the constraint that limits a ninja's potential is still chakra.

Taking Naruto as an example, his second S-rank Wind Release: Rasengan shuriken can directly drain the chakra of a tailed beast-level Naruto, which gives you an idea of ​​how much chakra an S-rank ninjutsu consumes.

If things proceed as planned, and given the limitations of chakra, Aokiji's potential is unlikely to be very high.

"That's enough for today. Go back and get some rest."

"Yes."

As the sun set, watching Aokiji's departing figure, a glint of light flashed in Elder Itachi's drooping eyelids.

Why has this kid become so serious these past few days?

This does not refer to the level of effort put into daily training, but rather the level of dedication.

In the past, Aokiji would stop pushing himself to the limit once he reached his limit, but in the last few days, he has been gritting his teeth and persevering even when he encounters a bottleneck, as if he has been stimulated by something.

With that in mind, he decided to keep a close eye on Aokiji's condition for the time being.

It's been quite a while since he last tried to match Aokiji and Tsunade up, and he needs to check how far their relationship has progressed.

If the requirements are met, then Madara Uchiha will need to consider the next step of his plan.

Tailed Beasts!

He's planning to find an opportunity to implant a tailed beast into Aokiji!

As for which tailed beast it was, he had already chosen it:

Five tails.
