Immortality begins with the ninjas of Konoha

Late at night, Tsunade returned to her old apartment and drank heartily. Shizune was also very happy, constantly serving food to Furukawa Osamu. After receiving praise, the girl kept smiling.

Nohara Rin's suggestion seemed to be very successful. Shizune thought about the maid outfit she had prepared, and her heart started pounding as she drank half of it.

Perhaps due to excessive nervousness, by the end of the drinking session, Shizune herself became confused and collapsed onto the table, muttering softly:

"build..."

Tsunade's face was flushed from drinking, and seeing this made her feel even more guilty. Furukawa Osamu, noticing his teacher's bad mood, gently reminded her:

"Teacher, you should go and rest first. I'll take care of the tidying up."

"I... Xiu, we shouldn't..."

"Teacher, it's all my fault. There's no need to blame yourself. You just wanted to better master the power of immortal arts."

Hearing her disciple's words, Tsunade lowered her head again. Shizune reminded her that she had done something forbidden. Thinking about how she had repeatedly absorbed her disciple's Sage Chakra, a strange emotion welled up in her heart.

"I...I'm going to sleep now, I want to get some rest."

Tsunade hurriedly got up. She felt that it was not right to recall those scenes in front of Shizune. She quickly hid in the room, took deep breaths, and finally sat down on the floor helplessly.

As a teacher, she had taken away her disciple's happiness, leaving Tsunade with mixed feelings. She felt she had deceived the innocent girl.

With mixed emotions, Tsunade suffered from insomnia again. Every day at this time, she would be "training" with her disciples, and at this moment, her body would unconsciously experience that feeling of longing again.

"Even after mastering the magic arts, Jingyin will be happy..."

After much thought, Tsunade came up with a good solution to comfort herself, and her feelings of guilt immediately lessened considerably.

Tsunade quietly entered the living room, intending to grab a can of beer from the refrigerator, but instead discovered that Osamu Furukawa was also coming out of another room.

Tsunade, who hurriedly quickened her pace, still bumped into her disciple. She looked up at Furukawa Osamu and subconsciously bit her lip.

Neither of them spoke. Furukawa Osamu simply bent down and sucked. Tsunade silently resisted, but her enormous breasts were covered by the palm technique of her disciple's right hand.

What made Tsunade feel ashamed was that her body involuntarily prepared for a water-style ninjutsu, and under the control of complex emotions, her training tonight proceeded silently.

Unlike usual, Tsunade felt her training efficiency suddenly increase. Her body frantically absorbed the massive amount of Sage Chakra from her disciples, and the spirits within the Hundred Healings Seal were also constantly entangled with her.

After an unknown amount of time, Tsunade, her thin clothes soaked with sweat, bit down hard on Furukawa Osamu's shoulder and completely lost consciousness.

Furukawa Osamu wasn't completely absorbed in it. He hugged his teacher and carefully savored the experience, when suddenly his expression became strange, and he murmured softly:

"The chakras of Indra and Asura seem to have a tendency to merge?"

"Tsunade-sensei, you've helped me again. How can I ever repay you?"

Chapter 226 A Suitable Container?

At the end of October, the Konoha delegation that visited Iwagakure received a warm welcome. Kakashi thought the trip would go very smoothly, but he was decisively rejected.

The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, believed the group's words, but the old man, with his red nose, finally spoke up in a sarcastic tone:

"Yellow Flash, I know you wouldn't lie to an old man like me!"

"But why would the Iwagakure ninja help Konoha and Sunagakure? We did hire Akatsuki, but we never had any contact with their core members."

"More importantly, no rogue ninja from Iwagakure have joined in; this is your own internal affair!"

"Don't worry, I will keep this information confidential."

Sitting on the left, Huang Tu looked hesitant, but Minato Namikaze simply glanced at Onoki, who was looking up, and responded with a polite smile:

"Lord Tsuchikage, please be careful. The enemy's target is the Tailed Beasts and Jinchuriki. I am very sorry about Rōshi."

"Since there are differing opinions, I can only hope that one day in the future we can reach an agreement on this matter."

Seeing Minato's crisp and decisive farewell, Onoki's eyes flickered. Just as the Konoha group was about to get up, the old man suddenly changed his mind and replied with a smile:

"For Old Purple's sake, Iwagakure could join this operation."

"However, I enjoy exchanging experiences with Konoha in other areas, such as barrier techniques, sealing techniques, and so on..."

Kakashi, standing next to Minato, immediately widened his eyes. This old man was shamelessly raising the price on the spot! The Tsuchikage was showing such magnanimity, especially since he had just praised the man's composure...

Huang Tu also felt that his father's actions were beneath his dignity and was somewhat embarrassed to explain, but Onoki quietly released a ninjutsu.

As gravity shifted, Huang Tu was unable to get up from his seat and could only stare at his father.

"Exchanging experiences? It seems Lord Tsuchikage is quite interested in our secret techniques."

"In terms of developing the power of the tailed beasts, we are indeed lagging behind the Hidden Cloud Village. If we want to exchange experiences, I need to ask the Hokage for instructions."

"In my opinion, this is indeed a great opportunity! The Sand Village gave us a huge surprise; the appearance of that child changed the direction of our research."

"Lord Tsuchikage, you should have achieved some results by now, right?"

"Sharp-witted lad! It's precisely because we've achieved results that we need to verify them with each other!"

Onoki didn't try to hide anything; instead, he proudly announced his achievements in developing the tailed beast's power. Noticing the tense expressions on the faces of the other Konoha members, he felt even more relaxed.

"I will explain in detail to the Hokage. Now let's discuss the team issue!"

"I hope Your Excellency Huang Tu can participate in this operation..."

Minato looked at Huang Tu with a heartwarming smile. Upon hearing the recognition from his powerful opponent, Huang Tu also smiled for a moment, but as the gravity around him increased, his face turned red from the pressure.

"I never imagined that my good-for-nothing son would actually gain the approval of Yellow Flash!"

"Alright, this is the beginning of a good cooperation. You can stay here and rest assured for the next few days."

"Iwagakure will not be easily destroyed!"

At the end, Onoki couldn't resist mocking the destruction of Konoha's old home. Seeing the old man's smiling face, Kakashi and the others glared at him. This old guy had no dignity whatsoever!

-

Jiraiya personally helped his disciple send the message back to Konoha, and the imminent cooperation made him very excited!

If they could unite the forces of the other three major ninja villages, defeating the Akatsuki organization in one fell swoop would not be a problem. Without such a dangerous opponent, the Child of Prophecy's future actions would be much smoother.

In the afternoon, Jiraiya, who had rushed to the Hokage Building, was surprised to see Tsunade and the others. His old friend seemed to have become even more beautiful.

"Oonoki is still the same as ever, always trying to take advantage!"

"It seems that after obtaining the incomplete sealing technique from Kumogakure, they have indeed made great progress in developing the power of the tailed beasts."

Hiruzen Sarutobi, holding his pipe, muttered a helpless complaint, but upon seeing Minato's suggestion, he immediately laughed again:

“Jiraiya, your disciple is better than you in some aspects. He has already provided a plan for the exchange of sealing techniques.”

Tsunade, with her blonde hair, was also reading carefully, and a look of satisfaction appeared on her face when she saw Minato's "Void Tailed Beast Plan":

"Given Minato's mastery of sealing techniques, Onoki and the others should have a hard time distinguishing between the real and the fake."

“Their previous armor seal was incomplete. Even if they obtained some of the Sand Village’s inheritance, it is still no match for the sealing techniques we have inherited.”

"The village also has the Sand Village's sealing techniques. Sarutobi-sensei, you must have learned them, right? I remember that they are completely different from the Uzumaki clan's lineage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and nodded. The Sand Village's tradition was passed down from the ninja temples, and it seemed they had a specific method to guide the sealing of the tailed beasts.

"That's right, there's no need to worry about leaking critical information."

Upon seeing Tsunade agree, Jiraiya immediately laughed heartily. Thinking of Nagato's change, he earnestly requested again:

"If the raid succeeds, I hope you will give me another chance."

"The Sage of Six Paths' eyes should not be used to destroy the world..."

Upon hearing that Jiraiya was once again trying to persuade his former disciple to "turn back to the right path," Tsunade and Hiruzen Sarutobi both breathed a sigh of relief, but naturally, neither of them would agree.

"Jiraiya, stop harboring illusions!"

"Even if we unite the forces of the other three ninja villages, we may not necessarily achieve a complete victory."

"In a battle where lives are at stake, no one cares about prophecies."

"As for what will happen in the future, we shouldn't worry too much about it; fulfilling our mission is enough!"

Tsunade responded earnestly, while Jiraiya looked at his old friend without saying a word, feeling somewhat downcast. The child of prophecy was likely to encounter trouble in the future, yet he, as the guide, was still unable to do anything about it.

As he was about to leave, Jiraiya noticed Tsunade's unusual appearance and, somewhat tempted, extended an invitation with a smile:

"You must be busy until very late every day, Tsunade. How about we leave work early today and grab a drink together?"

Tsunade felt her cheeks flush when she heard "it's very late." Ever since she had trained with Shizune that night, her relationship with her disciple had reached a new level.

The two would spar with each other until very late every day. Tsunade, thinking about her own performance, would subconsciously lower her head to work on her documents.

"Never mind, I've already started to quit drinking, and I have a lot of things to do tonight."

Jiraiya scratched his head and finally sighed. The Hokage was already working so hard, he shouldn't be thinking about anything else.

-

In the dense forest not far from the Naga Shrine, Osamu Furukawa and Itachi Uchiha were training with Sasuke and the others.

The children's faces lit up with excitement when they heard they could learn throwing techniques, but Sasuke was unhappy because he didn't like sharing his older brother with others.

"Very good, Sasuke! You must have practiced your power generation technique for a long time!"

"As expected of Itachi's younger brother!"

Furukawa Osamu praised Sasuke, who was throwing kunai continuously. Sasuke glanced at his brother, then looked at Furukawa Osamu and blushed. It was the first time he had received praise.

Naruto was also putting in a lot of effort to shoot kunai. It was his first time encountering a complex throwing technique, and he was being suppressed by Sasuke. His little face was full of resentment.

"That's already very good, Naruto!"

"It takes time to change your way of exerting force. Shikamaru and the others are not as good as you. Don't put pressure on them."

Furukawa Osamu chuckled and patted Naruto's head, who was panting heavily. Naruto first blinked his big blue eyes and thanked him, then looked at Shikamaru and the others and said loudly:

"Shikamaru, Choji, Kiba! How can you give up so easily? Cheer up!"

"Spare me, Naruto! Isn't this kind of troublesome stuff something you learn after you start school?"

"Naruto's right, Shikamaru, you're always so unmotivated!"

"I'm hungry, Naruto. Do you have any snacks?"

The three little guys surrounded Naruto and loudly complained. Sasuke, on the other side, saw his brother's encouraging look, but in the end, he turned his head away proudly. He would never be a follower of a blond kid.

After the game ended and the group had been gone for some time, a black vortex suddenly appeared. Cixian's face showed a look of surprise and uncertainty. He had just sneaked in and seemed to have found a suitable container:

"Naruto Uzumaki?"

Chapter 227 The more you "peep," the stronger you become...

In early November of Konoha Year 55, Obito Uchiha, who was stationed at the base in the Land of Rivers, disappeared again, leaving Kisame and Orochimaru staring at each other in bewilderment.

Thanks to the Black Zetsu's accumulation over a thousand years and the White Zetsu's hard work, the current stronghold, although located deep underground, has a decent living environment.

In order to break free of the cursed seal, Orochimaru's experimental materials were supplied in unlimited quantities, and Obito had also replenished all the experimental equipment in the past few months.

Despite the strange atmosphere at the last Akatsuki meeting, Orochimaru was still relatively satisfied with the current situation.

Orochimaru's doubts about the Mangekyou Sharingan are only growing as he is unable to make further contact with Nagato for the time being.

Obito has been going out frequently in the past week, and each time he returns, his icy chakra aura becomes even more pronounced.

Orochimaru, who had read Tobirama Senju's Notebook, knew that the special aura was most likely the special chakra secreted by the Uchiha clan's brain.

However, increasing this fundamental power is extremely difficult. Orochimaru had experimented on humans, and no amount of suffering could help ordinary Uchiha members with the three-tomoe Sharingan...

Even with the combined power of the Senju and Uchiha, there should be a limit to the power of the eye. However, this mysterious leader broke through continuously in a short period of time, completely refreshing Orochimaru's understanding!

-

Inside the massive underground stone chamber, inferior white Zetsu kept emerging from the rock walls, occasionally sharing crucial information:

"The ninjas from Sunagakure, Iwagakure, and Konoha have already secretly gathered, and some of them have begun to move towards the Land of Grass."

"Why has Lord Madara left again? The joint operation of the three ninja villages is about to begin. At most, they should launch a surprise attack within a month."

"Multiple strongholds have been marked. Lord Payne and Sasori have completed their relocation!"

"Kakuzu is still in the Land of Darkness. According to the plan, we should also move northwest to the Land of Wind."

"We cannot allow these ninjas to destroy the infrastructure of the Land of Rivers and the Land of Rain. Lord Pain wishes to move the battlefield to the desert of the Land of Wind, where Sasori has a secret stronghold."

"The Sand Village's intelligence agents haven't been exposed yet; Sasori's secret techniques are formidable!"

The Sand Village ninjas' movements were constantly monitored, and Sasori demonstrated his value. The White Zetsu were in charge of the Iwagakure and Konoha areas, and the enemy's movements were also kept clear.
