Konoha: I have a gravity training room

(cbbe) Over the years, Xia Mu has also discovered some relatively hidden places that are very suitable for cultivation.

I even took Tiantian to see it before, and Tiantian also chose a place to practice the Six Paths Ninja Tools. After all, these ninja tools are not suitable for use in the village.

The same situation applies to Sasuke, as he cannot become familiar with the power of the tailed beasts in the village.

Not to mention the destructive power or whether it will cause panic, the most unpleasant thing is that it will attract Danzo's attention and targeting, which would be really troublesome.

Swish! Xia Mu took Sasuke away.

A day after the two left, Kabuto Yakushi arrived with Guren and Yuukimaru. However, no matter how Yuukimaru used the medicine to activate the Three-Tails, there was no sign of it. Furthermore, as time went by, the mist on the lake quickly dissipated, which gave Kabuto Yakushi a bad feeling.

Sanwei, I’m afraid he’s not here anymore!

Time is like the bloodline talents of the Hidden Mist Village, constantly disappearing.

For more than a month, Natsuki and Sasuke wandered between several neighboring countries of the Land of Rain, but they did not find any trace of the man with the spiral mask. Instead, they often heard news about Deidara and Sasori doing bounty missions.

It seems that these two have completely replaced Kakuzu's position and are working hard to make money for the Akatsuki organization.

Xia Mu had no intention of looking for the two of them. Now his friends in the village needed time to grow, so he couldn't act rashly. If he killed Deidara and Sasori, it might force the Akatsuki organization into a corner. At that time, the Six Paths Pain would invade Konoha in advance, which would be even more difficult to resist.

"Shinra Tensei can deflect everything. Wanxiang Tianyin can attract everything. This is repulsion and attraction, which is really difficult to deal with. I have to think of a way. It would be best if there was a trick that could deflect Shinra Tensei, that is, I deflect your deflection. This way, we won't be afraid of Pain amplifying in the village, nor worry about the village being severely damaged. My wife's property is in the village, don't even think about making me lose money!"

However, to be on the safe side, Xia Mu still wanted to take some time to persuade his cheap father-in-law to sell some of his assets.

Even if we can't stop Shinra Tenzheng, we won't lose too much.

Sasuke didn't notice that Natsuki was distracted, but was silently sorting out his current situation.

White Fang Sword Technique, Lightning Style: Chidori, Lightning Style: Pseudo-Darkness, Fire Style: Head-Turning, Instant Body Phantom, etc., are all powerful moves that he has mastered, and dealing with Jonin is no problem.

In addition, he saw a lot of things from Senju Zangshu's notes, including the characteristics and defects of Uchiha's fire escape, Sharingan, physical skills, swordsmanship, etc. Through studying the notes, he became more proficient in mastering fire escape and more free to use Sharingan, and at the same time he also got rid of many bad habits.

The Thousand Hands Collection of Books is truly a treasure!

He wants to go and see it a few more times!

There is also the sealing technique. His sealing technique is not that strong, but he has mastered powerful seals such as the Four Symbols Seal, the Eight Trigrams Seal, and the Evil Sealing Seal.

What is most noteworthy is that he is now familiar with the power of the Three-Tails. Although he has not yet reached the level of a complete Jinchūriki, he is already able to skillfully use the power of the tailed beasts, and his transformation into a tailed beast is also quick and smooth. Now he feels that he is terribly strong.

Fortunately, he didn't swell up.

Because he had a special fight with Xia Mu, and was then badly beaten by the water giant.

Xia Mu was like a chasm blocking his way, making it seem like he would never be able to cross it.

But it doesn’t matter, because Uchiha Itachi can’t beat Natsuki, and his inability to beat Natsuki doesn’t hinder his revenge, so it’s not a big problem.

"Xia Mu, no news yet?"

Sasuke had time to worry about the mission. "That spiral masked man has always been very mysterious. I'm afraid we won't be able to find him."

Xia Mu also sighed: "I guess that guy is afraid of me, so he's hiding on purpose. If he dares to show up in front of me, I promise to beat the shit out of him!"

Sasuke almost laughed out loud.

Although it was not a polite way of saying it, Sasuke believed that Natsuki could do it.

However, since he couldn't find anyone, Xia Mu couldn't continue like this, so he contacted Tsunade with a small note and informed her of the failure of the mission.

It didn't take long before Tsunade's message arrived, asking the two to suspend their mission and return to the village.

It just so happened that Xia Mu also missed Tiantian's embrace, so he decisively took Sasuke back to Tsunade's office.

Tiantian had just finished delivering the note and hadn't left yet. When he saw Xia Mu coming back, he didn't care if anyone else was there and just pounced on Xia Mu.

Chapter 235 Sasuke's Treat

"Ahem! You two, be careful! Everyone is here!" Tsunade reminded.

Xia Mu hugged Tian Tian and looked around. He found that Tsunade, Shizune, Tun Tun, Xiao Hui, Xiao Ying, Kurama Yakumo and others were all there. At this time, they all looked over.

Sakura and Yakumo couldn't help but blush, they felt that Natsuki and Tenten were too bold.

Xia Mu was not embarrassed. After releasing Tenten, he said, "Tsunade-sama, I have been traveling around that country for more than a month and have not found any trace of that guy. However, I have heard a lot of news about Deidara and Scorpion of the Red Sand. This mission was not completed. How do you account for this?"

"Well, since it's a mission, there's still a reward even if it fails."

Tsunade waved her hand. "Besides, this isn't a failure. It's normal that we can't find the person who didn't show up. Also, it's best not to provoke the Akatsuki organization for now, so your investigation mission ends here."

Xia Mu nodded and stopped talking.

But I am curious about what these people are doing here.

A girls' gathering? That doesn't seem likely. After all, Tsunade is an old woman. It's not like she has any girlish heart.

Tsunade seemed to see what Xia Mu was thinking and said unhappily, "What are you thinking about! Yakumo is not feeling well, so Xiaohui brought her here for me to take a look. As for Sakura, she wanted to be my disciple, and I have already agreed."

Oh? Did Sakura become Tsunade's apprentice?

Xia Mu was not surprised at all.

Sasuke looked at Sakura in surprise, which made Sakura feel a little embarrassed.

In fact, after the last crusade, Sakura felt more and more useless, and also sensed a sense of crisis from Yakumo.

Although it is not certain that anything will happen between Yakumo and Sasuke, Sasuke obviously prefers girls with ability, so even if he chooses a partner, it will not be her turn to choose the useless Sakura.

Therefore, in order to stop being a drag and to make Sasuke look up to her, Sakura made up her mind to become Tsunade's apprentice.

Fortunately, Tsunade was optimistic about her talent and was waiting for her to make up her mind, so she quickly agreed.

"fair enough."

Sasuke said bluntly, "You didn't have much strength before, and you were always holding back. Now that you've become Tsunade-sama's disciple, you should learn well. If you spent more time training instead of dressing up, you wouldn't be so weak."

Everyone immediately held their foreheads in their hands. Sasuke really didn't give them any face at all.

Although these are all facts, if you say them in front of everyone, won't Sakura be so embarrassed that she'll dig her toes on the ground?

But surprisingly, Sakura said seriously: "Sasuke-kun is right, I should have woken up earlier. Maybe it's not too late now. I will learn some skills and won't hold Sasuke-kun back anymore!"

Sasuke nodded, perhaps acknowledging Sakura for the first time.

Although Sakura was embarrassed by Sasuke's blunt criticism, she was more delighted because it was the first time Sasuke spoke to her seriously and recognized her.

She couldn't wait to take off!

Xia Mu watched the show for a while and felt again that something was missing.

So he waved his hand and said, "Then Tiantian and I will leave first and won't disturb you."

Seeing this, Sasuke also said goodbye. After leaving the Hokage Building, he spoke again: "Xia Mu, how about I treat you to a meal? After all, you have helped me so much, but I have never given anything in return, and I don't know how to repay you. Treating you to a meal is also my way of showing my appreciation."

Tenten did react, "So, Sasuke succeeded?"

Xia Mu nodded: "Yes, it was very successful, nothing happened at all."

Tiantian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Since it's Sasuke's treat, we won't be polite. Let's put it this way, barbecue Q. Sasuke, you have to prepare the money. Xia Mu and I are both big eaters!"

Sasuke made an OK gesture: "Eat as much as you want, I can afford it."

It’s just barbecue. How much can two people eat, no matter how much they eat?

He had completed three S-rank missions and six A-rank missions, and earned a lot of money. Treating them to a barbecue was nothing. He could even afford to treat Choji and Hinata!

The three of them soon arrived at BBQ Q. Natsuki and Tenten were planning to make it more special when they saw the Pig, Deer and Butterfly combination of Shikamaru, Ino and Choji.

"Hey! Shino, Ino-Shika-Chou, you are here too." Xia Mu was the first to discover Shino.

"Natsuki, Tenten, and Sasuke." Shino's tone was filled with imperceptible joy.

After all, over the years, others always ignored him, but only Xia Mu always noticed him first. He really deserved to be their deskmate and good friend for many years.

This is also what touched Shino the most.

·· ·Request flowers· ····

Because at the beginning, Xia Mu couldn't find him successfully every time.

But Xia Mu would subconsciously sense and look for his presence every time, and over time he would habitually find him, and never miss a thing. This even influenced Tian Tian, ​​who would easily find Shino's presence every time.

"Hey, hey, hey! Xia Mu, don't call us by our abbreviations!"

Shikamaru expressed his dissatisfaction, but still explained, "Your good classmate helped our class 10 a lot before, so we invited him to dinner to express our gratitude."

Ino immediately took over the conversation. "Yeah, yeah, Shino is really amazing. Originally, that A-rank mission was quite difficult, but with Shino's help, scouting, reconnaissance, sneak attacks, offense, and defense all became a piece of cake. The difficult missions were completely easy. Aside from being a little unaccustomed to the bugs, everything else was great."

..... .... 0

Shino, however, was a bit more serious: "Bugs are good helpers!"

Ino had no choice but to say, "Yeah, Bugs are good helpers, and I didn't say anything bad about them."

Only Shikamaru was eating non-stop, and he seemed to have no interest in everyone's topic. Fortunately, this guy remembered to look up and say hello, otherwise Natsuki would probably have gone up and knocked on him.

"That's a coincidence."

Sasuke also rarely spoke up and chatted with everyone, "I also did it because Natsuki helped me a lot. I don't know how to thank him, so I can only treat them both to dinner."

Dingci also raised his head and continued: "Treating is the best way to thank you. Nothing is more important than eating!"

Although this statement is a bit strange, it seems to make some sense.

After all, sometimes thanking someone too much can become insincere, but giving them money can turn it into a transaction. Sometimes, it's hard to know how to express gratitude. But sometimes, it's as simple as treating someone to a meal after they've done you a favor. The food itself is the real show of gratitude, and whether the gratitude is genuine can be seen in the food itself.

There is no need to say anything else, just treat us.

Xia Mu and Tian Tian were really not polite to Sasuke. They directly ordered several luxurious sets, without any fear of eating up all of Sasuke's money.

But Sasuke still felt it was not enough and ordered some more drinks and fruits.

That's quite generous of you.

Chapter 236 Ningji's Quest

"By the way, do you know that Sakura has become Tsunade-sama's apprentice?" Tenten casually brought up the topic while picking up some meat for Natsuki.

"Huh? No way! That broad forehead..."

Ino was surprised. "I didn't expect she had finally made up her mind. I thought she would have to wait a long time."

Ino naturally knew more about the situation of her best friend Sakura. Even though Sakura never talked much about it, Ino could see that she was powerless to help even though she wanted to.

Sasuke is burdened with the hatred of his clan's annihilation and has no mood for love. Perhaps Sakura will only understand this slowly.

Ino only hopes that one day in the future Sasuke will not hurt Sakura too deeply, or better yet, let Sakura fulfill her dream.

Well, she couldn't get involved in that.

Shikamaru calmly commented, "Sakura has always been that good student. She only had good grades in school before, but becoming a ninja is no longer like the '570' school system. Her mindset hasn't changed yet, so she's fallen behind. Fortunately, she figured it out. Becoming Tsunade-sama's apprentice is her only option."

Sakura's talent in medical ninjutsu is indeed very good, and she is a more violent type, so it is indeed best for her to follow Tsunade's path.

This was not only noticed by the smart man Shikamaru, but naturally others also noticed it.

It’s just that some things are either difficult to interfere with or have nothing to do with me. I can’t just go up to Sakura and give her any suggestions. After all, their relationship is not that close.

Sasuke didn't say anything. He had already said what he needed to say in the office.

Everyone started talking about other things, such as tasks.

During the more than one month that Xia Mu and Sasuke were away, the classes had quite a few missions, which were basically C-level and B-level, all suitable for Chunin.

Fortunately, Yakumo had been added to the Aoba class, so the mission and training were not delayed because of Xia Mu's absence.

As for Kakashi's team, it seems that Kakashi was assigned to take Sai to do something and has been busy all the time, while Sakura actively went to the hospital to help.

"Where's Kaiban? Don't you have any missions every day?"

Xia Mu thought that Tenten seemed to be quite free. After all, he would occasionally send notes to Tsunade when he was on a mission, but Tsunade would soon return the note, which was naturally sent by Tenten.

In other words, there are basically no missions every day.

Tenten put a piece of freshly grilled meat into Xia Mu's bowl with chopsticks. "Well, there really isn't any mission. Tsunade-sama asked me to temporarily help with communications in the office, while Xiao Li will strengthen his training with teacher Gai. Of course, the main reason is that Neji applied for a solo mission himself, saying that he wanted to challenge himself."

Solo mission? Neji?

Xia Mu's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.

He didn't think Neji was challenging him, but rather that he had made some discovery.

He happened to have read the Senju Collection before, and perhaps he saw some ancient history of the Hyuga clan in it, so he deliberately accepted the solo mission, but in fact he went to investigate privately.
