Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 250 The Senju Clan's View

"You've been living a secluded life for the past three years, isn't it normal that you haven't heard of it?" Tsunade retorted, then added, "Besides, this matter is classified. It would be strange if you knew."

"..."

"However, I think it won't be long before the world knows about these Wood Release ninjas."

These Wood Release ninjas are essentially Konoha's secret weapon; they will make their official debut in crucial battles.

"External forces are the most unreliable thing; what people can rely on is their own strength." Aokiji grabbed Tsunade's shoulders with both hands, staring into her eyes. "Promise me, if you really want to do something like this, you must discuss it with me beforehand."

Aokiji knew very well what Wood Release meant to Tsunade.

When it came to persuading her, Aokiji was very careful, fearing that she might do something foolish in a moment of impulsiveness.

Make sure to give them a heads-up beforehand, and then gradually dispel the idea.

Seeing Aokiji's serious attitude, Tsunade felt as if the air had frozen slightly, and couldn't help but chuckle to ease the tension: "Look how nervous you are. Don't worry, I'm not like you who would make decisions on your own."

Aokiji breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Tsunade said gently, "As for you, don't act on your own in the future. At least consult with me first."

Aokiji replied, "I promise you."

Tsunade said with a smile, "Your quick response makes me a little uneasy."

Aokiji said, embarrassed, "It seems I don't have a very good impression on you."

Tsunade said irritably, "You know that too."

Aokiji scratched his cheek and asked further, trying to dissuade her: "Many people died from your experiment. What do you think about that?"

Tsunade sighed, quite helplessly: "What else can I say? Even if I object, it's useless. This is not only the attitude of the Konoha leadership, but also the attitude of the elders in the clan in the past."

"The only thing I can do is to provide medical support as much as possible to help the village overcome this problem as soon as possible and reduce more unnecessary casualties."

"You must have gone through a lot of trouble..."

Aokiji offered a word of comfort, and perhaps sensing the somewhat oppressive atmosphere, he changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this anymore. From now on, you'll help me develop ninjutsu."

Tsunade shook off the gloom in her heart: "Alright, let's begin then."

"Hmm, what exactly do I need to do?" Aokiji awaited Tsunade's instructions.

Tsunade taught Aokiji the method for training superhuman strength: "If you want to condense chakra, I personally suggest you start by practicing Water Release and get a feel for it?"

Aokiji was taken aback: "Training in Water Release?"

"When water is mentioned, ordinary people usually think of gentleness. However, under certain circumstances, water can be as powerful as a divine weapon that can cut through iron like mud."

Aokiji wasn't a novice; after being given the instruction, he instantly grasped the concept: "Water pressure, right?"

Tsunade continued, "That's right. The most important indicator for judging whether a Water Release ninja is powerful is how well they compress their chakra."

Aokiji exclaimed, "Wow, my girlfriend's words have cleared up my confusion and enlightened me!"

"Flattery." Tsunade gave him a charming look. "Even if I don't say it, you should be able to figure it out yourself."

"No, no, without you, I might have had to take a much longer route," Aokiji said sincerely, looking into Tsunade's eyes.

Tsunade smiled and relaxed her brows: "I'll teach you two Water Release ninjutsu. Get a feel for it."

"What kind of ninjutsu?"

"Water Release: Heaven's Cry and Water Release: Water Release: Water Severing Wave," Tsunade explained. "Both of these ninjutsu were developed by my great-uncle."

After saying that, Tsunade used her powers to give Aokiji a better visual experience.

First is Water Release: Heaven's Cry.

Tsunade gathered chakra in her mouth and spat out water needles, directly piercing several holes in a large tree.

After using this technique, she immediately used another ninjutsu, Water Release: Water Severing Wave.

He sprayed water from his mouth, then with a flick of his head, he sliced ​​a large tree in two, sending it crashing to the ground.

Aokiji stepped forward, took a closer look, and saw that the cut was very neat. He couldn't help but clap his hands: "Tsunade, you're awesome."

Faced with the compliment, Tsunade was very self-aware: "What I did is nothing. If it were my uncle who used it, I heard that even the hardest earth-style techniques could be easily cut through by him."

Earth Release counters Water Release, yet Tobirama's Water Release can directly break through Earth Release, demonstrating the extent to which his Water Release has reached.

"Both of them use Water Release ninjutsu that focuses on chakra compression."

Tsunade specifically brought out these two ninjutsu and said, "If you learn and practice them continuously, it will surely help your chakra compression training."

"Then, you can gradually integrate it into other ninjutsu."

Aokiji nodded.

"Next, I will show you all the hand seals for these two ninjutsu. Just copy them."

Tsunade knew that Aokiji had the Sharingan, so she stopped going on and on about it.

The Sharingan has the ability to copy ninjutsu, but only if the hand seals of that ninjutsu are not simplified.

Tsunade simplified the two ninjutsu she just performed, so Aokiji couldn't copy them. Now, let's look at the unprocessed hand seals. Aokiji can learn them after watching them once with his Sharingan activated.

"Copy? What copy?" Aokiji, worried that someone might overhear, vehemently denied it.

Tsunade said speechlessly, "You really are vigilant."

Aokiji replied, "I don't really like this thing."

Tsunade thought to herself, "Didn't you use that on me just now?"

Aokiji explained, "That's different."

Tsunade didn't press further, only sighing, "Even if you don't particularly like using it, you won't be able to hide it for long once you're on the real battlefield."

Aokiji shrugged and said, "We'll see when the time comes."

"I just can't do anything with you."

Aokiji was so determined that Tsunade had no choice but to teach him using the traditional, tedious method: first, she taught him the hand seals for ninjutsu, and then she taught him the principles behind the moves.

"Alright, you give it a try..."

After saying that, Tsunade gave the other person a special look.

Aokiji copied the pattern exactly, his throat moving as he uttered, "tui..."

Tsunade: ? ? ?

If I'm not mistaken, that looked like spitting?

What are you doing?

"Didn't you say this move looks like spitting? Let me try to get a feel for it."

"Ugh, this is disgusting! What do you take the ninjutsu I taught you for?" Tsunade clutched her head, looking extremely annoyed. "If my deceased great-uncle knew that I taught his ninjutsu to someone like you, he would definitely climb out of his coffin and give me a good scolding."

Aokiji deflected the blame: "It's all because of your way of expressing yourself."

"Listen carefully, the spitting I'm talking about isn't the crude way you do it, it's like this, gently take a mouthful and then ~tui~~" Tsunade demonstrated.

Aokiji looked completely bewildered: "???"

"The key point is to emphasize a light touch, understand?"

what?

Spitting is spitting.

And they even act superior.

This made Aokiji laugh: "In my opinion, this is how you should spit."

Having said that, Aokiji took a deep breath, then exhaled like a pea shooter: *tui*

After saying that, he turned to Tsunade and said smugly, "See? This is how you should spit. What kind of spitting is this, all soft and limp?"

"Ah, that's not how it is! You're so crude! How come I can't teach you?" Tsunade corrected her. "Listen carefully, spitting is like this, gently~ then tui~~"

"Tui~~?"

"No, not this kind, tui~~"

"I think you're only saying this because you can't stand me being sarcastic, tui~~"

"Hmph, who said that? If I wanted to, I could do it too. Tui~~"

"Hehe, not as far as me."

"Tui~~ Now I'm farther than you."

"Tui~~ Haha, we've overtaken them."

"Tui~ Hmph, I'm farther than you."

"Tui~"

"Tui~~"

"Tui, tui~~"

"Tui, tui, tui~~"

……

……

Tsunade: "..."

Aokiji: "Uh, why aren't you throwing up anymore? Scared? Tui~~"

Tsunade said with a dark expression, "I suddenly feel like an idiot right now."

(P.S.: Oops, I've gotten a bit carried away with my daily life while writing this, I'd better stop now.)

The ancestral hall of the Thousand Hands Clan.

A group of people gathered together. Since the Senju clan disbanded, they had all gone their separate ways, and as time went by, they rarely gathered together like this anymore.

But recently a major event occurred, forcing this group of people to reunite.

The man on the steps slowly scanned the people below, many of whom were elderly people who had survived from the Warring States period. After confirming that the number of people had basically arrived, he finally spoke.

He first chatted about everyday matters, then moved on to the past and present, and after rambling on about all sorts of random things, the man suddenly seemed to remember something important and began to speak again:

"Oh, right, there's something that's happened recently, you've probably all heard about it by now."

The Senju clan member below the stage remained silent for a moment before speaking, "It's about Lord Hashirama's granddaughter and that Jinchuriki from the Uchiha clan, isn't it?"

P.S.: There was a typo. I'll fix it after I finish updating three chapters.
