Naruto: Extreme Bloodline Limit

"Haah... Sorry to keep you waiting. I had a few too many drinks with some friends last night, so I'm late. Now that everyone's here, let's get started. Tsunade Class's first mission is going to be quite memorable!"

Yawning, Tsunade led the three of them away from the training ground. As for the mission itself, it was still unknown.

"This is the place."

After winding through the streets for quite some time, Tsunade stopped in front of their destination.

"Today's mission is simple. Forget about things like catching cats or walking dogs—I know you don't like those. This one's more interesting."

"Ah! Is Teacher Tsunade treating us to a hot spring?"

Harusame Yu looked delighted, because their destination was actually a hot spring inn.

This idiot. We're here for a mission, and she thinks Tsunade's treating us to a hot spring? Just wait and see!

Ronglin glanced at Harusame Yu speechlessly and said nothing. Shimura Ou blushed slightly, wanting to say something but unable to get the words out, so he could only hold it in.

"Of course..."

Tsunade wore a broad smile. Harusame Yu grew even more excited, mentally giving Tsunade a perfect score. Their first mission was soaking in a hot spring—this was fantastic!

"Of course not."

The smile vanished from Tsunade's face instantly. With a stern expression, she scolded, "We're here to carry out a mission. Have you ever seen someone carry out a mission by soaking in a hot spring? Your task is to clean the hot spring pools—if you can even call that soaking in a hot spring!"

"Huh?" Harusame Yu was dumbfounded.

"Cough, cough!!"

Shimura Ou gave a dry cough to keep himself from laughing out loud. Ronglin shook his head and pretended he hadn't heard anything. Still, cleaning hot spring pools... hopefully this inn didn't have too many of them. Compared to cleaning, Ronglin would rather walk dogs and do a few simple D-rank missions to pass the time.

"Lord Tsunade, you're here."

Very soon, the owner of the hot spring inn came out with an enthusiastic smile. He seemed quite familiar with Tsunade.

"Mm." Tsunade nodded and pointed at Ronglin and the other two. "Let's get started. Please take them over there."

"No problem! Also, the private hot spring pool has already been prepared for you. I hope Lord Tsunade gets a good rest."

The inn owner had a good relationship with Tsunade. Mainly because Tsunade loved soaking in hot springs; after enough visits, they had naturally become acquainted. In fact, Tsunade would often even run up a tab.

"Then I'll take you up on that."

Tsunade accepted without the slightest embarrassment. Turning back to the three members of Tsunade Class, she reminded them, "Make sure you clean them properly, or it'll affect your mission evaluation. You wouldn't make me lose face, would you?"

"We'll definitely complete the mission!!" Ronglin shouted.

"Mm, then go on."

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction. The more she looked at Ronglin, the more pleasing he seemed. She waved them off. "Go on, then."

However, when the hot spring inn owner told them how many pools there were, the three members of Tsunade Class nearly fainted on the spot—twelve pools of various sizes. This was going to be exhausting.

While the three members of Tsunade Class suffered through the miserable cleaning work, Tsunade was truly enjoying herself. She sipped some wine as she soaked in the hot spring, a faint pink flush blooming across her fair skin as she felt incomparably comfortable.

Damn D-rank missions. After the mission ended, Ronglin returned home.

Even his nonstop training came to a halt. It wasn't that he didn't want to continue, but that he simply had no strength left. The twelve hot spring pools of various sizes had nearly cost him his life, and the other two were in even worse shape. Only Tsunade had enjoyed herself.
