Tsunade of the Sannin's Whereabouts

The Land of Whirlpools, the Konoha Base.

Under the cover of night, Uchiha Yoru, who had just had a heart-to-heart talk with Kakashi, was back in his tent. Naturally, he had to play his part completely. He pretended to be exhausted and soon fell asleep in bed.

However, just as Uchiha Yoru was fast asleep, a warm little hand suddenly appeared, and he watched through one of his squinting eyes.

"Anko, what are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of going home to rest?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Uchiha Yoru felt a headache coming on. Anko, however, feigned composure, but her panicked eyes and trembling hands betrayed her inner turmoil.

"Night, I don't want to leave you, I want to smell your scent."

Under Mitarashi Anko's greedy gaze, and hearing her weak voice, Uchiha Yoruro a pang of pity and couldn't help but stroke her smooth, soft hair.

"Anko, you."

Anko suffered a devastating blow to her spirit, and ever since then she has had a morbid obsession with him, which Uchiha Yoru naturally noticed.

Although his spirit is somewhat distorted, it is clear that he is the one who provides Anko with a sense of security, and only a fool would refuse a beautiful girl with such great talent.

Beauty is nothing but a double-edged sword. For Uchiha Yoru, power is everything. People with talent are also part of that power, so he doesn't mind opening his heart a little to gain that power.

Under the caress of a hand, Mitarashi Anko transformed into a docile kitten, lying directly in the quilt, greedily inhaling the familiar scent while enjoying the warm embrace.

It must be said that Anko's development is quite good. In the ninja world, people develop relatively early, both psychologically and physically.

"Night, I want to hold you while I sleep."

Beneath Mitarashi Anko's sickly, intoxicated eyes lay a pitiful, kitten-like appearance, which made Uchiha Yoru smile. He then nodded slightly, earning a delighted look from her.

However, as the kitten lay in its warm bed, several coats slowly came off, and Uchiha Yoru's hand instantly touched the smooth, close-fitting fishnet clothing.

Fishnet clothing is breathable and dissipates heat quickly. Its close-fitting design allows ninjas to move more nimbly. Even if the outer garment is damaged in battle, it will not affect the secrecy of the fishnet clothing, so it is a favorite of many ninjas, regardless of gender.

Feeling the touch of that delicate body, the kitten let out a mesmerizing sound.

"Night."

Anko Mitarashi Anko truly lives up to her reputation as a genius. With her immense Chakra nurtured over the years, her skin is as smooth as milk, further enhanced by the allure of her fishnet outfit.

Under the Genin's powerful eyesight was hardly limited, and he could see the kitten in his arms very clearly.

With trembling eyelashes, Mitarashi Anko looked into Yoru's eyes and felt the caresses on her body, instantly feeling a surge of heat throughout her body.

"What Ye and Hong can do, I can do too."

Seemingly unaware of this, Mitarashi Anko recalled the scene she saw under the waterfall. After all, he was a genius back then; if not photographic memory, then close enough.

Mitarashi Anko merely recalled Yūhi Kurenai's actions for a moment before nimbly moving around inside the blankets and bending down.

Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes instantly, transforming into a valiant sailor, and fought fiercely with a ferocious little octopus sea monster. The monster, initially reckless, seemed to find its footing later on, its hunting skills becoming increasingly proficient, truly befitting a genius.

The little octopus exerted a powerful suction force, and despite its best efforts, its skin turned red and veins bulged, it was still directly entangled by the opponent's tentacles and dragged violently into the deep sea.

Seawater relentlessly poured in, Uchiha Yoru gradually found it difficult to breathe, feeling as if he was about to drown, especially as the opponent's tentacles were sucking blood everywhere.

Suddenly! I woke up from the dream.

Mitarashi Anko coughed violently, as if she had choked on something. Amid the violent coughing, there were also clear, greedy swallowing sounds, like a kitten hurriedly stuffing food into its mouth for fear of being caught stealing it, afraid of spilling it.

Then, in the little wildcat's panicked gaze, she saw the anger flashing in her owner's eyes after discovering she had stolen food.

In its panic, the stray kitten was caught red-handed by its owner, who then began a merciless beating and scolding, giving this disobedient little cat a good lesson.

The next morning, after a night of whipping and training, the kitten was completely exhausted and opened its big, tired, pitiful eyes.

"Night, I will work hard in the future and I will definitely make you satisfied."

Seeing Anko's guilty expression, Uchiha Yoru shook his head in a cheerful mood and said, "Anko, you're different from others. Just be yourself."

It is indeed different; he wasn't referring to the difference in taste.

It was truly different. The biggest difference between Mitarashi Anko was that she regarded him as the only one in her life, and was willing to give her life for him. He saw this clearly. Although this feeling was somewhat abnormal, it could satisfy a certain possessiveness in men.

What's even more different is that in this treacherous Shinobi World, Mitarashi Anko is someone he can completely trust, someone he can even entrust his back to.

Yūhi Kurenai and Uzuki Yugao are still a little short of this, but he believes they will be soon.

The Mist Ninja Base.

Wearing a mask and with bandages wrapped around her neck and chest, Mei Terumi's face looked extremely pale inside the tent.

"This is a mission assigned by Commander Suikazan Fuguki."

Byakugan Ao solemnly handed the mission scroll to Mei Terumi, who became even more furious upon seeing the mission.

"As the conflict between Konoha and our Mist Ninja intensifies, countless profit-driven merchants have emerged in the towns of Land of Whirlpools due to the war."

Upon hearing this Mei Terumi scoffed, "I'm afraid there are Spies and agents from various ninja villages as well. In fact, this place is a melting pot of spies from the entire Shinobi World."

Upon hearing this, Byakugan Ao gave a helpless bitter smile. "Not only that, but countless Rogue Ninjas and Rogue Ninja secretly gather here, and countless shady things are sold here."

"So, this is also a plan devised Jōnin Suikazan Fuguki with the Fourth Mizukage's approval, to have you infiltrate here and gather intelligence on the island, since our goal is this strategic location."

After reading the mission scroll, Mei Terumi sneered, "I'm afraid it's not just me!"

Byakugan Ao fell silent. This was a classified mission, and he couldn't tell the other party, not even though they were both Genji.

"Since there are people gathering intelligence, there must also be those secretly collecting these valuable, illicit resources. In fact, many of those gathering intelligence have already infiltrated the area."

Both were seasoned ninjas, not simple reckless fools. After Mei Terumi a cold laugh, she mocked, "You really are a fat pig who looks like a watermelon. Last time, you even tried to shift the blame for the defeat onto us."

Suikazan Fuguki is an absolutely unpopular figure to them. He doesn't take responsibility and instead shirks it. He's always the first to claim credit for any achievement, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like this.

"I wonder if the Fourth Mizukage has lost his mind. I admit this is a very important strategic location, but if we, the Mist Ninja, fight to the death with Konoha, it will only deplete the village's strength."

Mei Terumi spoke with a cold laugh, while secretly realizing that the village probably wanted to use this opportunity to weaken the power of the Kekkei Genkai ninja clans within the village. She felt more sorrow than anything else; the sorrow of being Kekkei Genkai ninja was that despite possessing great power to protect her village, the villagers only looked at her with fear and disgust.

The policies of the Land of Water have led to widespread aversion to Kekkei Genkai among ordinary people throughout the country, who even regard them as monsters.

"Remember your meeting code, and don't reveal your ninja identity. At least you won't be in too much danger this time."

Seeing Byakugan Ao's attempt to comfort her, Mei Terumi glared at him irritably and said, "Which Spy doesn't lurk in dangerous places? You're saying there's no danger?"

Faced with the furious Mei Terumi, Byakugan Ao clearly backed down, scratching his head awkwardly, "Um, I have to go now."

Watching the disheveled Byakugan Ao, Mei Terumi, wearing a mask, clenched her fists in resentment. "Damn it! Uchiha Yoru, you're lucky. I'll definitely get my revenge someday."

What angered her was that she had suffered a great loss at the hands of the other side, and now they were going to transfer her away from the main battlefield. Such a deep hatred, and she had no chance to express it.

Thinking of the two wounds on her abdomen and chest, Mei Terumi couldn't help but grit her teeth and mutter in a low voice, "You bastard who doesn't know how to cherish a beautiful woman. Next time, I'll definitely give you a kiss that melts your heart and soul. What a waste of such a handsome face."

Mei Terumi wasn't a love-struck fangirl. She naturally admired his handsome appearance, but she harbored a secret resentment towards his actions, especially the two times he nearly cost her her life on the battlefield. She would never let him go if given the chance.

A town in the Land of Whirlpools.

Although this place is Land of Chaos, it must be said that due to some special reason, its prosperity is in no way inferior to the most prosperous towns of the Five Great Nations, because anything can be traded here, including contraband from various countries, and even ninja slaves.

Even in Land of Chaos, there are rules, and in doing so, a unique kind of prosperity has emerged.

The town instantly became bustling after the snowstorm. Ordinary people rarely saw this place; the streets were filled with Rogue Ninja, Samurai, and even merchants from the Five Great Nations.

Two figures arrived outside the town that day.

"We've arrived at our destination." A spirited voice rang out, golden hair flew through the air, and bright brown eyes held a nostalgic look.

"Lady Tsunade, take care." The girl dressed in traditional black clothing showed a respectful expression, but when she raised her head, her face, which was not particularly pretty, exuded a pure and innocent feeling.

"Stop nagging. This time, you just stay in Shikkotsu Forest and practice the Ninjutsu I'm teaching you. It won't be long before we're no longer stuck in this damned place."

With her flowing blonde hair, Tsunade, now only 40 years old, exuded a mature aura, but the expression on her face clearly showed her resentment at coming here.

A pair of delicate hands, painted with red nail polish like a young girl's, were clenched into fists as she muttered angrily, "Damn Jiraiya, and those old bastards in the village who should be in their coffins long ago. If they're going to cause trouble, they should clean it up themselves. They made me clean up their mess."

It is clear that Sannin, as one of the Tsunade, although not in the village, still knows about some things. For example, Orochimaru's defection filled her with anger, calling him a bunch of filthy and corrupt old men.

"Didn't the village say that you, Lady Tsunade, should stay nearby, and also about that important item?"

It's obvious that the village doesn't dare to command Tsunade like Jiraiya, after all, with her status comes privileges.

"Okay, Shizune. You should go back now."

Tsunade looked impatient, and although she waved her hand impatiently, Tsunade bright brown eyes were fixed on Shizune, or rather, on a briefcase in Shizune's hand.

Feeling uneasy under her gaze, Shizune put on a pitiful look. "Lady Tsunade, this is the village's funding for us. If we lose it all, we'll be homeless again."

"Enough with the nagging. Those old bastards who're half-buried in the ground are annoying enough."

Under Tsunade's irritated expression, Shizune, with a tearful look on her face, obediently handed over the briefcase. The moment she took the briefcase, Tsunade's irritation vanished, replaced by a joyful smile.

"Haha, this time I'm going to win big!"

"Lady Tsunade." Looking at Tsunade, who had suddenly entered a state of complete absorption, Shizune couldn't help but show a pitiful expression. At this moment, she strongly suspected that sending her to Shikkotsu Forest for training was just to get rid of her so that Lady Tsunade could gamble freely and extravagantly at the casino.

Seeing Shizune's pitiful eyes, Tsunade, and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, alright, don't worry, Shizune. I'll keep some money in reserve this time; at least I'll pay for the accommodation first."

However, seeing Tsunade's guarantee, the naive girl Shizune sighed helplessly, clearly no longer believing Lady Tsunade's promise.

Hai-Xu-You-Shen-Wei

Summoning Jutsu

A sticky Slug, as tall as a person, appeared, and its first words to the two of them were a sweet female voice.

"Lady Tsunade"

It has to be said that of Sannin's Summoning Beasts, only Tsunade's is the most respectful and obedient, and it even has a young lady's voice, which is incredibly pleasant to hear.

When Shizune used the Summoning Jutsu, Tsunade saw the scene of biting her finger in black and white, but it was clear that she was still somewhat moved, though she hid it very well.

"Lady Tsunade, please take care."

After Shizune was carried away by the Slug, Tsunade, putting aside her bad mood. When she looked down at the heavy suitcase, an excited smile instantly appeared on her face.

"Haha, now that Shizune isn't here, finally no one's bothering us."

With a hearty smile, he swung his golden hair as he slowly walked into the city.

Please support me.
