Chapter 205. Teacher and Student Washing Feet by the River

Chapter 205 - 205. Teacher and Student Washing Feet by the RiverAs night fell. Hanekawa vaguely felt something heavy pressing down on him. He felt a bit uncomfortable and instinctively opened his eyes. What greeted him was a cascade of smooth, golden hair. Hanekawa was slightly stunned, his consciousness gradually clearing. He remembered listening to Tsunade's stories from the past, but at some point, he had dozed off. But what was happening now? Hanekawa turned his head slightly and took a look. He found Tsunade clinging to him like an octopus. Hanekawa could clearly feel the rise and fall of her body as she breathed, and the sound of her heartbeat transmitted through the thick layer of fat. A rich fragrance continuously wafted into his nostrils. Hanekawa suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable. At that moment, Tsunade opened her eyes. She was momentarily stunned, realizing that she was resting in Hanekawa's arms. Tsunade moved her hands and feet, feeling a wave of embarrassment and awkwardness. Because at that moment, her arms were wrapped around Hanekawa, and her right leg was draped over him. "What time is it now?" Tsunade released Hanekawa, sat up, and brushed the hair from the side of her ear, asking calmly. "I don't know." Hanekawa felt the weight lift off him, but a sense of regret followed. This massive volume, he was willing to endure such pain. Tsunade stood up and walked to the tent entrance. She opened the door and looked outside; the sky was completely dark. In other words, she and Hanekawa had slept through half the afternoon. Although she had slept quite comfortably, she couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in her heart. "I'm hungry." Tsunade turned to look at Hagiwara and said. "It's not easy to cook inside the tent. How about we go outside?" Hanekawa thought for a moment and asked. "Let's go." Tsunade nodded and said, "I know there's a river not far from here." The two changed their shoes and left the tent. There were ninjas patrolling the camp, and upon seeing them, they quickly greeted them, but no one dared to ask what they were planning to do in the middle of the night. After walking for two minutes, Hanekawa saw a river about three meters wide. They were in the Land of Rivers, which was famous for its numerous rivers and mountains. Hanekawa opened a storage scroll and took out all the pots and utensils. Tsunade watched him busy himself and walked to the river, sitting down. She took off her shoes and dipped her jade-like feet into the river water. The sudden cold made her body shiver, but she soon narrowed her eyes in contentment. "Sensei." Hanekawa walked over and asked with a smile, "If you're washing your feet in the river, how am I supposed to cook?" "Use the water upstream." Tsunade lifted her fair leg and pointed upstream. Under the moonlight, her skin glistened with water droplets, giving off a translucent glow. Splashes of water scattered. Tsunade then put down her left leg, and her feet swayed back and forth in the water like fish. "Sensei, you seem to be in a good mood." Hanekawa noticed the smile on her face. "I'm happy we repelled the Hidden Mist Village." Tsunade was momentarily stunned, then casually found a reason to say. In truth, she didn't know why she felt so good. "Will the Hidden Mist Village attack again?" Hanekawa was washing rice with the river water not far from her. "Most likely." Tsunade thought for a moment and said, "With the main force of the Hidden Mist Village still intact, retreating like this would be hard to explain to the Land of Water." "That's true." Hanekawa looked at her bare feet under the water and said, "And the new Mizukage needs to prove himself with achievements." Mei Terumī was too young, and it was likely that the Fourth Mizukage would still be Yagura, just like in the original story. Hanekawa wondered if Yagura would still be controlled by Obito Uchiha in the future. Searᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. But at least for the short term, he wouldn't be. Hanekawa secretly thought that he had indirectly helped Yagura. But whether he was controlled or not didn't have much to do with him. "That may be true, but the new Mizukage definitely won't be as aggressive as the Third Mizukage." Tsunade chuckled and said, "After all, he probably doesn't want to lose his life again." "Sensei, how long can our supplies last?" Hanekawa paused and explained, "I want to return to the Leaf Village to ask the Hokage for the Flying Thunder God Technique." Although he could wait until after the war to learn it, it seemed like the war wouldn't end anytime soon. In that case, he might as well learn while fighting. But before the Flying Thunder God Technique, he needed to master the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. He estimated that the progress bar would be full in a little while. With the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, although he couldn't use it freely, it would add another means of survival. "The Flying Thunder God Technique?" Tsunade turned to look at him and asked, "Can you handle learning it?" "Your student is a super genius." Hanekawa flashed her a smile. "The Flying Thunder God Technique isn't something you can learn just by being a genius." Tsunade frowned slightly and said, "The conditions are very strict." "What conditions?" Hanekawa asked curiously. "I've heard Minato mention it; there are three conditions." Tsunade slowly raised three fingers and said, "First, you need a large amount of chakra. Second, you must possess exceptional spatial talent. Third, you need extraordinary dynamic vision and motor reflexes." The Flying Thunder God Technique is a space-time ninjutsu. The distance it can teleport and the size of the objects it can transfer are determined by the user's chakra. Without a large amount of chakra, learning the Flying Thunder God Technique would be futile. Spatial talent goes without saying. After all, it's a space-time ninjutsu; without spatial talent, you can't learn it. As for dynamic vision and motor reflexes, they are also easy to understand. Because the Flying Thunder God Technique is extremely fast, and if you can't adapt to its speed, you won't be able to fully utilize its potential. At that point, vision and reflexes become crucial. Hanekawa pondered for a moment and realized he already met all three conditions. The A-rank trait 'All-Round Jonin' gave him a 300% boost to his chakra capacity. Combined with the Yin Seal, his chakra was already terrifyingly vast. The S-rank trait 'Divine Might Conceals Tears' gave him a 300% boost to spatial talent. The B-rank trait 'Master of Scrolls' gave him a 100% boost to his eyesight. As for motor reflexes, he had been continuously training them while learning the Lightning Release Chakra Mode. After all, activating the Lightning Release Chakra Mode made his speed almost comparable to the Flying Thunder God Technique. "I think I can learn it." Hanekawa blinked and said. "I've been wasting my breath." Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said, "Next Monday, the supply team will return to the Leaf Village, and you'll lead them." "Thank you, sensei." Hanekawa said with a smile. "It's nothing." Tsunade said indifferently, "Being eager to learn is a good thing; I have no reason to stop you." That being said, if it were anyone else, they wouldn't have such an easy time learning the Flying Thunder God Technique. "I'll go cook." Hanekawa finished washing the rice and left the riverside. Tsunade continued to wash her feet. With the help of fire release, Hanekawa spent about twenty minutes preparing dinner. Tsunade stood up, put on her shoes, and walked to the table. "Sensei, are you going to wash your feet again later?" Hanekawa handed her a pair of chopsticks and asked. "Why do you ask?" Tsunade looked at him with a puzzled expression. "I mean, we could wash our feet together." Hanekawa coughed lightly and said. Tsunade narrowed her eyes and stared at him. Hanekawa felt a pang of nervousness under her gaze. "Fine." Tsunade looked at him for a few seconds before averting her gaze and saying softly, "I don't have anything else to do anyway." Hanekawa immediately felt relieved. After dinner. The two went to the riverside, took off their shoes, and sat together, dipping their feet into the river. Hanekawa's heart stirred, and he moved his right leg over, touching Tsunade's foot. "What are you doing?" Tsunade glared at him and asked, "Are you a child?" "I think this is the first time I've washed my feet with you by the river." Hanekawa said without changing his expression. "It is the first time." Tsunade's gaze wavered, and she looked down at the ripples in the river caused by their feet. She felt as if those ripples were also in her heart. "This is really nice." Hanekawa said with emotion, "To have such a leisurely moment amidst the busyness." "Yeah." Tsunade was slightly lost in thought. It had been a long time since she had such a relaxing day. Whether it was the heart-to-heart talk in the afternoon or the foot-washing now, it all brought her a sense of peace. Hanekawa glanced at her and didn't say anything more. The teacher and student sat by the river, soaking their feet. "Let's go." Tsunade stretched, stood up, and put on her shoes. "Goodnight, teacher." Hanekawa watched her walk into the tent. But since he had slept all afternoon, he was still full of energy and began practicing sensory ninjutsu. If his sensory ninjutsu could detect White Zetsu, combined with the Flying Thunder God Technique and the Lightning Release Chakra Mode, he would truly be worry-free. The next day. After breakfast, Hagiwara went to the main tent for a meeting. "The Hidden Mist Village has made a new move." Tsunade got straight to the point once everyone had gathered, "A Hyūga clan ninja team discovered their traces in the southern part of the Land of Rivers this morning." "How many are there?" Maki raised an eyebrow and asked. "About a thousand Hidden Mist ninjas." Tsunade paused and said, "And there are still some undiscovered; we don't know the exact number." "Yesterday they completely withdrew from the Land of Rivers, and today they're back." Chiyo said thoughtfully, "It seems they've chosen a new Mizukage." "No matter what strategy the Hidden Mist Village has, our strategy remains the same: drive them out!" Tsunade said with a serious expression, "Now, let's assign tasks!" "Yes!" Everyone responded in unison. Two hours later, the jonin who had received their tasks left one after another. "Here." Tsunade casually tossed a scroll to Hanekawa. "A healing mission?" Hanekawa opened the scroll and was momentarily stunned. He had thought it would be a combat mission against the Hidden Mist ninjas, but instead, he was assigned to stay at the base and treat the wounded. "Aside from me, your medical ninjutsu skills are the best here." Tsunade explained, "The Three-Tails' rampage injured many ninjas. Although we provided emergency treatment yesterday, it's far from enough." "Alright." Hanekawa nodded in agreement. A healing mission wasn't bad; it allowed him to steal some leisure time and focus more on learning ninjutsu. Time passed slowly, and soon it was the following week. Over the week, both sides had reached a stalemate, engaging in a war of attrition, but there were no major casualties. Every time the Leaf Village and the Sand Village made a significant move, the Hidden Mist Village would retreat in time, fighting very cautiously. Hanekawa, on the other hand, enjoyed the peace. Every day, he and Rin Nohara treated the wounded at the base. In his free time, he practiced the Lightning Release Chakra Mode or water and earth release techniques. On Monday morning. Hagiwara left the Leaf Village base under the reluctant gazes of Yūhi Kurenai and Rin Nohara. Outside the camp, two ninja teams were already waiting. Hanekawa was slightly surprised when he saw them. Because one of the team's lead jonin was Hyūga Hizashi. But the lead jonin of the other team also looked familiar. He was wearing a yellow tracksuit and tight pants, resembling a low-budget version of Bruce Lee. "Hello, I'm Chen." The middle-aged man introduced himself. "Teacher Chen, I've heard of your reputation." Hanekawa's face showed a hint of realization, "They call you the strongest taijutsu user in the Leaf." Of course, he had heard of it in his previous life. His most vivid memory was of Chen's taijutsu, the Leaf Dragon God, which was incredibly powerful. "That's just a past reputation." Chen waved his hand and said with a smile, "Now the strongest in the Leaf is that guy Might Duy." Hanekawa keenly noticed a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. An idea formed in his mind. Although it was an accidental encounter, he was very interested in the Leaf Dragon God. Of course, he could also learn the Leaf Dragon God from Hiruzen Sarutobi. But there was no need, since the original creator was right in front of him. As for the reason to learn it, it was simple. If he learned the Leaf Dragon God and defeated Might Guy, he could reclaim Chen's title as the strongest taijutsu user in the Leaf. "Uncle Hizashi." Hanekawa didn't rush to discuss this with Chen, instead turning to greet Hyūga Hizashi. "Hanekawa." Hyūga Hizashi responded with a bright smile. He seemed much more cheerful and open than in the original story. After all, Neji Hyūga hadn't been born yet, and there was no conflict between the main and branch families of the Hyūga clan. Hanekawa thought about it and really wanted to ask if his wife was pregnant. But that would be too strange and abrupt, so he suppressed his curiosity. "Shall we set off now?" After the small talk, Hyūga Hizashi asked. The mission to return to the Leaf Village for supplies was assigned to Hanekawa by Tsunade. Although he was a chūnin and still young, they all had to follow his orders. If it were anyone else, Hyūga Hizashi and Chen would have found it absurd. But for a chūnin who had captured the Four-Tails and killed the Third Mizukage, there was no issue at all. "Alright." Hanekawa nodded. The group set off for the Land of Fire. That night, Hanekawa personally cooked, leaving Hyūga Hizashi and Chen in awe of his culinary skills. After dinner, he went to chat with Chen. Things went more smoothly than he had imagined. Chen agreed without hesitation. Aside from the reason Hagiwara had mentioned, there were two other factors. First, he wanted a genius student. Second, Hanekawa's current status and position made him worth befriending. Moreover, the Leaf Village had the training methods for the Leaf Dragon God; if he didn't teach Hanekawa, he could still learn it elsewhere, so it was better to establish a good relationship. _ Patreon.com/rashta 1. 350 adv ch of Talent System In Naruto 2. 560 adv ch of Qian Renxue's Younger Brother 3. 270 adv ch of Uchiha Madara's Cousin 4. 163 adv ch of WDQK: Divorcing Ling Qingzhu (Complete) 5. 487 adv ch of This Danzo Is Weird
