Chapter 102 Tsunade eats a Devil Fruit, Rock Lee: This pill is special? Naruto: Do you even need to think about that?
"good!"
Looking at Rock Lee in front of him, Tian Tian nodded: "How do you think I managed to develop such a powerful physique in such a short time, given that my physical skills were inferior to yours just half a month ago? Even training couldn't achieve that."
At this point, Tiantian slightly raised her chin: "Training doesn't show results in a short time."
"yes."
Hearing Tenten's words, Rock Lee scratched his head in distress: "That's what I'm also troubled by. Unless there are some special plasters to help, but even with plasters, it's not easy to do these things. Tenten, your family also runs a ninja tool shop."
The speed at which he formed hand seals and his terrifying physique that he had displayed every day had shocked him.
"You probably wouldn't believe me even if I told you right now."
Tian Tian gently shook her head and said, "But since you asked me, there's nothing wrong with telling you, okay?"
As she spoke, Tian Tian took out a pill and handed it to Lee Locke, saying softly, "Here you go. Take this pill when you get home tonight, and you'll understand."
What Tenten gave her was the same "sleep-inducing medicine" that Hinata had given her half of before.
Just one pill can keep you awake for 24 hours straight without feeling tired.
This thing is also beneficial to her, but the benefits are not significant.
Because it's impossible for her to exercise 24 hours a day.
But Rock Lee is different; he's a perfect fit for this pill.
She hasn't revealed anything about the jar yet, because Tian Tian believes that even if Rock Lee knew, he would be indifferent or disbelieving.
Even if they believed it, they wouldn't spend 100,000 taels to open the jar.
So she gave me one of these.
Once Rock Lee eats it himself, he will know that what she said is true.
Facts speak louder than words.
Once Rock Lee experiences the effects of this "sleep-inducing drug," he will have no choice but to believe what she says.
The thought of bringing business to Lin Mo made Tian Tian squint her eyes.
Although she wanted to keep the jar shop a secret and not let too many people know about it, she thought that even if her team found out, they shouldn't spread it around.
Moreover, Rock Lee did indeed train very hard, but he didn't have the talent for ninjutsu.
If opening the can reveals a talent for ninjutsu, that would be even more of a win.
Moreover, Lin Mo had previously told her to bring people to open the cans, so she was also doing Lin Mo business!
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Tian Tian's words, Lee Locke looked at the pills Tian Tian handed him with a surprised and suspicious expression.
Is this pill special?
If he hadn't been talking about it every day, he would be itching to eat it right now.
Although he didn't understand why, Rock Lee still took it seriously.
But the next second, Rock Lee fell into deep thought.
Because he noticed that the pills in Tian Tian's hand seemed to have appeared suddenly?
"Li, Tenten, Neji, assemble!"
At this moment, Matt Kai walked over from a distance and announced loudly, "Today we're going out of the village to train. I've already accepted several missions on the outskirts of the village."
"Here you are, Teacher Kai!"
Upon hearing this, Rock Lee immediately responded loudly and ran over.
Seeing this, Tian Tian also walked quickly away.
"I wonder what Mom and Dad found when they opened that jar at Lin Mo's place today."
"If I hadn't opened the jar last night, I wouldn't have known what would be inside."
"I wish I could get a spirit."
As they walked, Tian Tian was always curious about what her parents had gotten from Lin Mo.
Tenten felt a little regretful when she thought about the empty Poké Balls her dad had opened.
It would be great if there were elves inside.
When I think like this every day.
the other side.
The Land of Fire.
Lakeside.
Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno stared in astonishment at Naruto Uzumaki before them.
Even in the distance, there were two fallen Kirigakure ninjas.
There's also Kakashi and Tazna.
"No, Naruto, how did you predict that?"
Sakura Haruno stared at Naruto Uzumaki in astonishment: "And he even led us to safety immediately."
When they first encountered the Hidden Mist Ninja, Naruto immediately led them back, leaving the battlefield to Kakashi.
Before they could react, they saw Kakashi-sensei being taken down.
However, Naruto Uzumaki ignored them and continued running with them, saying that Kakashi-sensei knew the Substitution Jutsu, so there was no need to worry. They just needed to run away and didn't need to worry about Kakashi.
as predicted.
Kakashi appeared casually and swiftly dispatched two Hidden Mist Ninja.
Is it difficult?
Naruto shrugged. "It hasn't rained for days, so why are there puddles on the ground all of a sudden? Something's definitely not right. As a ninja, isn't the purpose of a mission to consider the terrain? Don't you know that?"
As he spoke, Naruto looked at Sakura with a surprised expression: "Didn't the book say that? Do I really need to think about it?"
Sakura Haruno: "."
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Sakura Haruno's face darkened, and she was speechless.
Although it was mentioned in the book, when Naruto led them at the very back, he kept a distance from Kakashi and Tazuna, as if he was on guard as soon as they left the village.
Their mission is to protect the client, but Naruto Uzumaki isn't even protecting the client anymore.
Being vigilant is a good thing, but being overly vigilant is not.
At that moment, Kakashi walked over from a distance, looking exasperated: "Naruto, a ninja's vigilance isn't something you should be doing."
He was thinking of training Naruto Uzumaki, but Naruto Uzumaki simply ran away without any intention of fighting.
On the battlefield, what else could this be but desertion?
"Please, Kakashi-sensei, you're a Jonin. Those two Kirigakure ninjas are only Chunin. It'll be easy for you to deal with them."
Naruto Uzumaki looked speechless: "I ran further away so as not to hold you back. What if they surrounded me?"
Kakashi: "."
It seems I still need to teach Naruto Uzumaki about teamwork.
If he doesn't teach them properly, he feels that the entire team will be led in a strange direction by Naruto.
"You can't rely on others every time you encounter danger."
Kakashi looked at Naruto Uzumaki, his gaze deep and unsettling: "Have you ever wondered why a Jonin like me would lead a team on this kind of mission?"
"Of course, it's for our training."
Naruto Uzumaki replied without hesitation, "It tests how we handle unexpected situations and crises, but Kakashi-sensei, there's really no need to use these two foolish Kirigakure ninjas to train us."
"As ninjas from Kirigakure, what were they thinking, setting up water pits on the ground and hiding in them using water-style techniques? Isn't that stupid?"
"I even suspect they aren't the Hidden Mist Ninja, or that it was all arranged by you, Kakashi-sensei."
"Those two guys are really, really stupid."
At this point, Naruto Uzumaki looked heartbroken and said, "Is this really a Chunin? He's not even as good as me, a Genin."
Kakashi: "."
That's true, but he also wanted to know why there were such stupid Chunin.
"And this old man definitely lowered the difficulty of the task."
The next second, Naruto Uzumaki looked at Tazuna walking over and casually said, "Aren't C-rank escort missions usually carried out by mafia or thieves? It's only been a short time and two Chunin have already appeared, and they're from Kirigakure. This old man has been targeted, and there will definitely be other ninjas appearing later. I even suspect that a Jonin will appear."
"Jonin?"
"How is that possible?!"
Upon hearing this, Sasuke Uchiha's pupils constricted sharply.
Sakura Haruno's expression also changed drastically.
Jonin?
That's a task they're not qualified to take on at all.
"My intuition is correct."
Kakashi looked at Naruto with a surprised expression and nodded slightly: "The ninjas of Kirigakure are known for fighting to the death at all costs. If they were just some wandering ninjas, it would be impossible for two Chunin from Kirigakure to appear."
"So, Mr. Tazner, aren't you going to say anything?"
"This task is beyond the scope of what we've been given; we can return to the village midway."
At this point, Kakashi turned to look at Tazuna, his gaze deep and unsettling.
He knew that the mission arranged by the third generation couldn't be as simple as just an escort mission; there was more to it than met the eye.
But isn't it a bit too hasty to put the ninjas of Kirigakure to a trial right off the bat?
Naruto Uzumaki only graduated a few days ago.
Whether it's accepting a mission to leave the village or encountering unexpected changes in the mission, these are not things that ordinary graduates would encounter.
Typical missions for leading a team include escorting others, eliminating bandits, or hunting down wandering ninjas.
Two Chunin from Kirigakure arrived right after we got here.
There will definitely be Jonin ahead of us, maybe even Jonin from Kirigakure!
"I."
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Tazuna's expression stiffened.
After a long while, he said in a low voice, "I have something I want to tell you."
"Damn it, are you trying to kill us by hiding the mission level?"
Upon hearing this, Sakura Haruno's face turned furious, and she felt an urge to beat Tazuna up.
Naruto Uzumaki yawned, holding the little dragon with a casual expression.
The plot is so cliché, it's really boring.
All he wants now is to get to the Land of Waves as soon as possible to get his money.
Despite Naruto's uninteresting attitude, Tazuna quickly explained what had happened, causing Kakashi to frown.
Ultimately, the decision was made to proceed.
Kakashi knew that the Third Hokage did not want to see this outcome.
"Ugh."
As he walked, Kakashi turned around and glanced back in the direction of Konoha Village, letting out a soft sigh.
Immediately, the Chunin boarded the boat and headed towards the Land of Waves along the river.
Because of the conversation between Kakashi and Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno both looked wary.
Even though the Jonin had Kakashi-sensei to deal with them, they still felt they needed to remain vigilant.
at the same time.
the other side.
Short Book Street Town.
Silent and dusty, she looked at the street in front of her with a delighted expression.
I'm finally back.
"Is this Tanzaku Street? Do they really offer that kind of service?"
"Of course, this place is known for its casinos, shops, and restaurants; it's a place where people can relax and enjoy themselves. I brought you here, so it's definitely true."
"This place doesn't belong to any ninja village, but rather serves as a local market and recreational area, which is quite nice. I like to come here in my spare time, and the ninjas here are also quite friendly."
Ignoring the chatter of the people who had just arrived in Tanabata, Shizune headed straight for the gambling dens where Tsunade was.
She believed that without her "supervision," Lady Tsunade would definitely not stay "obediently" in her room.
Shizune knows Tsunade too well!
Wherever there's a casino, you're sure to find Tsunade!
Silent footsteps, hurried yet firm, moved between the various casinos on Short Book Street.
As she searched, she silently prayed that Tsunade wouldn't change locations this time, so she could find her as soon as possible.
Not long after, Jingyin finally spotted that familiar figure at the entrance of one of the busiest casinos.
At the entrance of the casino, Tsunade sat at a gambling table, intently staring at the cards in her hand, surrounded by a noisy crowd of gamblers and onlookers.
Her brows furrowed slightly, clearly dissatisfied with the cards in her hand, but her eyes still gleamed with the excitement and unwillingness typical of a gambler.
"Lady Tsunade!"
Shizune shouted loudly, hurriedly squeezing through the crowd and running towards Tsunade.
Then he grabbed Tsunade's arm, his face full of anxiety.
Tsunade looked up and saw it was Shizune. She immediately frowned and said, "Shizune, why are you in such a hurry? I haven't finished my match yet. Let's talk after I win this one."
"Lady Tsunade, something terrible has happened!"
Silently lowering her voice, a hint of tension flashed in her eyes.
She tried hard to control her emotions, but her voice still carried an undisguised urgency.
Upon hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade wore a dismissive expression and waved her hand, saying, "What could be more important than what I'm doing right now? Shizune, don't be nervous, I'm about to turn the tables!"
Seeing Tsunade's nonchalant attitude, Shizune became even more anxious.
She knew she had to say something to get Tsunade to take her seriously.
"Lady Tsunade, something extremely important has happened! You must come with me immediately!"
Shizune looked intently into Tsunade's eyes.
Tsunade was slightly taken aback.
Seeing Shizune's tense expression, the nonchalant look in his eyes slowly faded, and his brows furrowed: "What's wrong that's making you so nervous?"
If she remembered correctly, Tsunade had returned to Konoha.
Why is your application like this this time?
Seeing that Tsunade was "concerned," Shizune quickly moved closer and lowered her voice, saying, "It's not convenient to talk about this here, Lady Tsunade. Let's go outside and talk about it. It's really important! It's related to Konoha Village."
Upon hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade's expression finally turned serious.
He immediately put down his cards, stood up, nodded, and said, "Okay, let's go outside and talk."
Although she was still somewhat reluctant, she followed Shizune out of the casino.
As for the people at the gambling tables next to them, they weren't worried that Tsunade would run away, and they all waited patiently.
Tsunade followed Shizune out of the casino.
Away from the noisy crowd, Tsunade stopped and turned to look at Shizune, her brow furrowed slightly: "Now you can tell me, what exactly happened in Konoha?"
Although she has left Konoha, Konoha Village is still her "home".
Otherwise, she wouldn't have let Shizune leave to go to Konoha Village to gather information.
Shizune glanced around, took a deep breath, and her eyes revealed a hint of caution and unease.
She knew that what she was about to say would shock Lady Tsunade.
But she also knew that she had to let Lady Tsunade experience it herself before she could believe everything she said.
"Lady Tsunade."
Shizune spoke cautiously, her tone filled with solemnity: "I returned this time because I discovered some strange things in Konoha Village. This is what I want to tell you."
As she spoke, Shizune took out a strangely shaped Devil Fruit from her bosom, one that she had bitten into.
Tsunade looked at the fruit in Shizune's hand and noticed that its surface was covered with strange patterns, making it look completely different from ordinary fruit. Her brows furrowed even more.
What is this thing?
It made her uncomfortable just looking at it.
But seeing Shizune's very serious expression, Tsunade looked at her strangely: "What is this? Why are you showing this to me?"
Shizune didn't answer directly. Instead, she handed the Devil Fruit to Tsunade and said softly, "Lady Tsunade, this fruit has very magical power. I hope you can try eating it first, so you can experience its special properties."
Hearing Shizune's words and seeing her serious expression, Tsunade was a little puzzled, but she knew that Shizune was not the kind of person who would act recklessly for no reason.
After hesitating for a moment, he accepted the fruit.
After examining it closely, she found that the fruit's shape was indeed strange, making her feel somewhat uncomfortable.
But trusting in Jingyin, she decided to give it a try.
"Okay, I'll give it a try."
Tsunade sighed softly, raised the Devil Fruit to her lips, and carefully took a bite.
However, the moment the fruit touched her tongue, Tsunade's expression suddenly changed.
Her brows furrowed, her eyes widened suddenly, and an indescribable bitter taste instantly filled her mouth.
Almost instinctively, Tsunade immediately spat out the fruit, her face filled with anger.
"What the hell are you making me eat?!" Tsunade glared angrily at Shizune, her voice filled with dissatisfaction and rage.
She has always disliked bitter tastes.
And this fruit was clearly one of the worst things she had ever tasted.
Seeing this, Shizune's face showed a hint of nervousness, and she hurriedly explained, "Lady Tsunade, please calm down! Although this fruit doesn't taste good, it does have special powers. This is the first time I've ever seen something like this, which is why I hope you can experience it for yourself."
Tsunade was still displeased, but seeing Shizune's serious expression, her anger subsided slightly.
"Special power? I don't feel anything special. It's just very bitter!"
As she spoke, Tsunade checked herself and found no changes.
"How could that be?"
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune exclaimed in astonishment, "That's impossible!"
"Mute, stop fooling around."
Tsunade looked speechless: "I thought you were going to talk about Konoha Village, but it turns out you just want me to eat this. What does this have to do with Konoha Village?"
"That's impossible, Lady Tsunade. After I ate this fruit, I did gain a very special ability."
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Shizune quickly reached out her hand.
Suddenly, a blue light burst forth from her palm.
The blue light rapidly expanded, forming a huge, semi-transparent circular space that enveloped her and Tsunade.
