Chapter 42 Precision Positioning
Chapter 42 Precision Positioning
Am I really a pervert?
Watching Kushina's departing figure, Tsunade fell into deep self-doubt.
At that moment, she seemed to see two little figures, one black and one white, in her mind.
The little white figure looked at him with disdain: "How dare you shove your foot into your disciple's lap? Tsunade, have you no shame?"
The little black figure chuckled, "So what? Can't a disciple warm his master's feet?"
The argument erupted instantly. The white figure pointed at the black figure, indignantly shouting, "Is that for warming your feet? It's clearly... well, you're despicable!"
"What do I need to know to simply warm his feet? All I did was prevent him from leaving. Was there anything out of line?"
The little black figure shrugged: "As expected, people with heart conditions see everything as dirty~"
"You, you, you..."
The white figure, enraged, pointed at the black figure, its chest heaving violently: "Self-deception! Self-deception!!"
With that, he self-destructed in a fit of rage.
The little black figure also disappeared, leaving only Tsunade lying motionless under the kotatsu.
After a long while, she gently touched her burning cheeks, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.
"I'm back!"
Soon, Rope Tree returned home carrying large and small bags.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Minato put down his teacup and muttered to himself, "Well then, I should prepare lunch."
As soon as he finished speaking, the pair of white snakes in his arms moved reluctantly.
Minato reached under the kotatsu and gently grasped it; its texture was like a peeled egg, delicate and smooth.
Without making a sound, he pinched the round and cute toes, and then Minato's fingertips gently traced the arch of the foot. The two little white snakes immediately seemed to be frightened and hurriedly crawled away from his leg.
You brat!
Seeing Minato get up, Tsunade quickly buried her head in her arms, muttering to herself.
Lamb hot pot is delicious.
Nawaki and Kushina transformed into bandits, frantically rummaging through the pot with their chopsticks, while Tsunade ate absentmindedly, her mind preoccupied with the subtle sensation that had just touched the depths of her soul.
No, this can't go on!
Tsunade glanced furtively at Minato's youthful face, forced herself to stay alert, and put down her chopsticks.
Tell me something.
She suddenly interrupted the relaxed atmosphere of the meal: "I'm currently working on perfecting a rather important ninjutsu, so I need to go out for a while to find some ideas."
"Huh? How long will it take?" Nawaki asked, somewhat reluctantly.
"uncertain."
Tsunade pursed her lips, secretly observing Minato's reaction.
Seeing that Minato didn't react much, he couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment.
"Are we leaving the village?" Kushina asked.
"Yeah, probably." Tsunade nodded.
"Then please take these with you, teacher."
Minato stretched out his hand, holding a handful of seeds: "These are the seeds from my mutated cells. As long as chakra is injected into them, they can create my wood clones, making it easier to contact my family."
"Get in touch..."
Tsunade's tone was inexplicable.
She planned to leave the village and go out to cultivate for a while in order to cut off all contact.
Just in case, she took the seed and put it in her ninja tool bag.
After thinking for a moment, she got up and went back to her room, where she took out a huge scroll.
"This is... the ninjutsu you're going to learn, sister?"
"No, this is the séance scroll of the Slug Sage of the Wet Bone Forest, one of the three holy sites."
Tsunade unrolled the scroll, pointed to her own name on it, and said, "I plan to have you form a summoning contract with the slug. By writing your names on it with your blood, you can summon a part of the slug sage's avatar."
(The claim that the slug's original name is "katsuyū" is actually incorrect; it's just a translation issue in Chinese. In Japanese, "katsuyū" and "slug" are the same character. Please don't criticize, thank you.)
"A slug..."
Nawaki's lips twitched. As Tsunade's younger brother, he had naturally seen slugs before.
"A slug?"
Kushina's eyelids twitched. The thought of the slug's wet and sticky appearance made it hard to accept.
"This is a skill you must master."
Tsunade was also worried that Minato would be in danger while she was away.
Although she knew that with Minato's current strength, he was unlikely to encounter any danger in the village, she still couldn't help but worry.
"All the slugs you summon are avatars of the Slug Sage. When you encounter danger, you can summon a slug, even if it's just a tiny one, to deliver messages for you."
Upon hearing this, the three of them did not hesitate and bit their fingers to sign their names on the scroll.
"Eh... what's the hand seal for summoning again?"
Rope Tree tilted his head, trying to recall; he remembered that this had been mentioned in class.
"It's Hai, Xu, You, Shen, and Wei!"
Before the blood had dried, Kushina used a summoning jutsu.
With a loud bang, a slug the size of a palm appeared in front of everyone.
"what?"
As soon as the slug appeared, it tilted its head in a human-like manner: "You are...?"
"This is Kushina Uzumaki, this is Minato Namikaze, and this is my younger brother, Nawaki. You've met them before."
Tsunade explained, "I had to leave the village for some business, so I had them sign the summoning contract for Shikkotsu Forest."
"Ah, I see~"
The slug tentacles moved slowly, saying, "I understand, Tsunade. I'll take good care of them! If you need any help, just summon me!"
As it spoke, it vanished with a bang.
Nawaki stared at Kushina in astonishment: "How can you, a first-year student, use summoning jutsu so skillfully?"
"Kushina is from the Uzumaki clan."
Minato explained, "This clan is most skilled in sealing techniques, and their related summoning techniques are also a perfect match."
"In that case, I'll be going now."
As Tsunade spoke, she stood up to leave.
"Huh? Is it in such a hurry?"
"Isn't this too rushed? Can't you eat first and then leave?"
"No, there's no time to lose. The sooner it's finished, the sooner I can come back. Don't worry, I won't be gone for too long."
Tsunade waved her hand, ignoring the three people's attempts to stop her, and left with her ninja tool bag.
Having finally mustered the mental strength to stay, she feared that if she stayed any longer, she wouldn't want to leave.
"My sister... she's been acting a bit strange lately."
After Tsunade left, the three returned to the table. Nawaki said with some concern, "I don't know why, but her emotions have been changing a lot."
Kushina's eyes lit up: "Could it be that he's in love?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Nawaki waved his hand: "My older sister has very high standards. I've never seen her give any boy special treatment. Well, except for Minato, that guy's talent is indeed explosive."
Kushina looked at Minato: "Minato, do you know what's going on?"
"have no idea."
Minato shook his head, a barely perceptible smile flashing in his eyes. He sensed the presence of the clone seed in the courtyard.
The Wood Clone Seed has a location function, but judging from the appearance, Tsunade clearly doesn't know this...
