Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 461 Resurrecting the First Hokage

"Oh, don't ask anymore, you'll find out later."

When Aokiji saw Tsunade say those words, his face turned red, and he was even more puzzled. What was that?

But never mind, he's really sleepy right now and needs to catch up on his sleep.

Aokiji collapsed onto the bed. The newly bought bed was very soft and comfortable, and he fell asleep immediately.

"Honestly, he doesn't even cover himself with a blanket, he's like a child who never grows up."

When Tsunade said this, she seemed to think of something, blushed slightly, and then followed suit, lying down in the cup herself and covering Aokiji with it at the same time.

In the warm and cozy bed, Tsunade snuggled up to Aokiji in a comfortable position, gently closed her eyes, and made a soft, almost imperceptible rustling sound as she fell asleep.

The sun has set, and the bright moon is just beginning to appear.

The two woke up almost at the same time.

Aokiji said softly, "Did I disturb you?"

"No, I just woke up too."

Tsunade stretched her arms and yawned, her voluptuous figure appearing even more alluring in the movement.

At close range, Aokiji couldn't help but swallow hard.

Noticing the intense gaze directed at her, Tsunade straightened up and threatened, "If you look at me again, I'll gouge your eyes out."

"Tsunade, you've misunderstood. Look, it's evening now, isn't it?"

"What does this have to do with the night?"

Aokiji held up one finger and said confidently, "Of course it's related. It's cold at night, and I'm using my burning gaze to give you some warmth so you won't get cold."

Tsunade had never heard such absurd logic before, and said speechlessly, "I really should thank you..."

Aokiji laughed and said, "Stop talking and show us something."

Tsunade seemed to have thought of something: "No way, we just woke up. Let's eat first, my stomach is growling..."

"Don't you know that exercising after meals is bad?"

Tsunade knew Aokiji was up to no good, and rolled her eyes at him: "But exercising before meals isn't good either."

That makes sense. Aokiji got off the bed, stood up, and decided to give up: "Oh, that makes sense, never mind then..."

Tsunade was taken aback. Had she given up so quickly?

Just then, Aokiji suddenly turned around and said, "Yeah, right..."

After he finished, Tsuna pointed to another bed in the room: "Let's go to that one."

"What? Isn't this place nice? Uh... you're so smart."

"It's all because of you..."

◎

the next day.

At the dining table, Aokiji and Tsunade were eating breakfast.

Under the table, take off your slippers, lift your foot, and use your toes to grab them.

Don't let its small size fool you; it has incredible strength, enough to make someone scream in pain when it clamps their legs.

"Let's see if you dare to mess around again."

Aokiji quickly begged for mercy, "I won't do it again, I won't do it again..."

"Hmph, you're smart to know what's good for you."

Tsunade should be lenient when she can.

Aokiji thought to himself, "I'll let you be smug for a while during the day, and then I'll see how I deal with you tonight."

Tsunade stared at Aokiji's face, which practically screamed scheming: "Are you up to something?"

Aokiji chuckled, "How could that be?"

Tsunade refused to fall for it: "Hmph, you're lying. I know even if you don't tell me. You're probably planning to take revenge on me tonight."

You're so smart...

Aokiji chuckled dryly a few times, changing the subject: "By the way, how's your Wood Release training going?"

To conceal his Wood Release abilities, Aokiji always sent Tsunade to train alone in the Shikkotsu Forest.

By the way, Aokiji also specially kept a six-tailed fox in Shikkotsu Forest.

After spending more than two years together, Tsunade has signed a contract with the Six-Tails.

Use Live Slug for support, and Six-Tailed Fox for battle.

As for how the Six-Tails came to be, Aokiji took Hiruzen Sarutobi to Shikkotsu Forest after using him, and then extracted the Six-Tails.

He currently only knows that Tsunade has successfully awakened Wood Release, but he doesn't know the specific level of it.

Now that the domestic situation has stabilized and Aokiji has completed all the necessary upgrades, he will now focus most of his efforts on improving the combat strength around him.

Tsunade casually replied, "It's so-so..."

"So-so? That won't do. You know what our enemies are like now, right..."

To make Tsunade more vigilant and prevent her from being tricked again like last time, Aokiji told her a lot of information.

Tsunade frowned, a hint of caution in her eyes.

"Can I use S-rank ninjutsu like the Wood Dragon Technique and the Wood Human Technique?"

"You overestimate me. These high-level ninjutsu are not so easy for me to learn."

Aokiji sighed. This was indeed a difficult situation for Tsunade, and the enormous amount of chakra required was beyond her capacity. He needed to find a way to increase Tsunade's chakra.

The Tailed Beast is definitely out of the question; it would become the target of concentrated fire.

Aokiji remembered a stone called Grell Stone, which contained powerful chakra and could be implanted into the body to increase chakra, with minimal risk.

For years, he has been secretly searching for its whereabouts with his men, and recently he has made some progress. Aokiji plans to set off and get his hands on it directly.

However, before that, he had something to discuss with Tsunade: "Tsunade, I want to use the Impure World Reincarnation to revive the First Hokage..."

Tsunade paused, then put down her chopsticks.

Aokiji continued, "I know you think this ninjutsu is too cruel and you are unwilling to sacrifice your life, even the life of a prisoner."

"And you don't want to disturb your deceased grandfather, but these are extraordinary times. This can not only enhance Konoha's fighting strength, but more importantly, it can provide you with guidance in many aspects of Wood Release. If your grandfather were alive, I think he would be happy to see this."

Aokiji's words were quite true and made sense. Tsunade hooked a strand of hair that fell across her forehead with her little finger and fell into silence. The values ​​she had been taught since childhood were binding her as she made her decision.

"Think it over carefully. You can come find me anytime you decide."

After three days of careful consideration, Tsunade adopted Aokiji's suggestion.

Tsunade was not pedantic, and Aokiji looked at her with satisfaction before setting off to prepare.

He first went to the prison and selected a notorious criminal.

For ordinary criminals, Aokiji would kill them directly, since keeping them around would be a waste of taxpayers' money.

However, there are some criminals that Aokiji will not kill, such as some of the more powerful criminals.

It's not because we cherish talent, but because these powerful criminals have a higher tolerance for error and are of greater experimental value.

"How's this bowl of wide noodles?"

Aokiji mocked the criminal.

The criminal, under special detention, was unable to use his chakra and looked at Aokiji with fear in his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Aokiji took it upon himself to agree: "In that case, do me a favor."

Regardless of whether he agreed or not, Aokiji ordered the jailers to knock him unconscious and drag him to a secluded room.

In that room, Orochimaru had already prepared everything, waiting only for Aokiji to bring the people over.

The unconscious criminal was thrown into a red circle. At this point, only three people remained in the room: Aokiji, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.

Tsunade quietly looked at the person inside the red circle. Soon, this person would become her most respected grandfather, and she felt a little uneasy.

"It's about to begin."

Aokiji said something and clapped his hands familiarly.

The next second, a large number of gray runes surged from the criminal within the red circle. This was a preliminary step in the Impure World Reincarnation. Once these runes completely enveloped the person, they would soon transform him into the appearance of the deceased in life.

Strangely, these talismans suddenly collapsed and scattered on the ground just as they were about to completely envelop the person.

This was the first time Aokiji had seen such a situation, and he frowned.

Tsunade couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

Aokiji said in a deep voice, "We failed..."

"It failed?" Tsunade was taken aback. "Could there be something wrong with it?"

Aokiji shook his head, denying it with certainty: "Impossible. I've always followed the steps exactly. There couldn't be a problem."

Having said that, he looked at Orochimaru, who was more familiar with this ninjutsu, with a questioning look in his eyes.

He paused for a moment, then slowly said, "There are only two reasons why the Impure World Reincarnation might fail. The first is that the person being summoned is still alive."

Aokiji immediately rejected the first option and eagerly asked, "What is the second option?"

"The deceased has been resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique."

Aokiji's wide eyes were filled with astonishment: "W-What did you say?!"
