Encountering Tsunade
The weather is nice.
After leaving Konoha, we headed west for three days and three nights, passing through several large forests and several villages.
Yang Xing finally arrived at a decent-looking large village.
Although the Third Shinobi World War ended quickly, there was still some damage around Konoha. Some villages were destroyed. Yang Xing, who had traveled for so long to find the village, wanted to rest properly.
And most importantly, we need to consider the journey ahead.
At a table by the window in a hotel.
Yang Xing picked up the map in his hand and, while waiting for the food to be served, pondered an important question.
We have no idea where Obito went, and Madara definitely won't let me see Obito again. It seems like we'll have to give up on finding Obito.
In that case, let's go and see other countries.
This is Yang Xing's dream.
"Near the Land of Fire, there's the Land of Rivers, and the Land of Rain. Oh, and the Amegakure Village is also on the border. I wonder if Nagato has appeared yet." Looking at the Land of Rain, which is close to the Land of Fire, Yang Xing frowned. "Should we go check it out? The Akatsuki should still be around, right?"
"Damn it, that girl isn't even a pretty girl, why bother going to see her?"
Just then, a few guests arrived outside the door, looking travel-worn and seemingly not ninjas from Konoha.
Yang Xing's thoughts were interrupted as he looked at the group of people not far away.
"It's really cold."
They were likely ninja clan members from a village Land of Fire.
After all, there are many villages in the Land of Fire, and countless families of all sizes.
Most of these ninjas were only at the Chunin or above, with very few being powerful Jonin.
Of course, what Yang Xing cared about was not the other party's strength, but the conversation that was about to begin.
People came in groups of three or five, and sat down casually as soon as they entered the store.
They ordered a few jugs of wine and surprisingly started discussing matters concerning Konoha.
"By the way, have you heard?" An older ninja said mysteriously to his comrade, "The Third Shinobi World War is over. The Third Shinobi World War in the Land of Fire ended in just a few months. This is the fastest it has ever ended among several countries."
"Hmm, I also heard there was this guy, what was his name again? Oh right, I think he was the Fourth Hokage's disciple, who beat the Tsuchikage to surrender at the age of 12." One of them nodded repeatedly in admiration, "He's really amazing."
It's clear that matters big and small in Konoha are always topics that various villages like to discuss.
The genius of Konoha is the most famous.
Right now, the Third Shinobi World War against those famous geniuses are what they really like to talk about.
In addition, since Konoha is the symbol of the Land of Fire, it would be easy for news of Yang Xing to spread.
Many small families value talent immensely, since the support for the entire family comes from those members who have been strong since childhood.
"That's not just Konoha, it's the symbol of our Land of Fire! The genius of Konoha is a true genius."
"It's just a pity, it seems there was some misunderstanding in the village that drove this genius out." The man put down his wine glass and sighed deeply, "What a shame."
These words resonated with many, prompting displeasure among his compatriots. "Yeah, even a once-in-a-century genius has been driven away, and the Hokage of Konoha doesn't even know what he's doing."
"Damn it, utterly despicable! I bet the village is making things difficult for that genius. What could a child have done wrong? How could the Hokage let such a genius leave? What is the Hokage even doing?"
While some were expressing their dismay, others directly criticized Hokage.
Yang Xing listened from the side without offering any opinion.
It was just that someone suddenly cried out; that delicate voice, coupled with that violent temper, drew Yang Xing's attention.
"What nonsense are you spouting?" A woman, or rather, a beautiful woman, slammed her hand on the table and shouted at the two people in front of her, "The Hokage of Konoha is incredibly powerful!"
The young girl following beside her was also innocent and adorable. She grabbed the woman's arm and apologized to the person in front, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my husband has a bad temper when he's drunk, I'm so sorry."
"Let go! These guys dare to insult the Hokage! I'll teach them a lesson!" The blonde beauty, sleeves rolled up, was indignant and looked ready to actually Teuchi.
The girl who stopped the blonde woman wasn't very old, but her mature demeanor was far more appealing than that of the blonde beauty.
"Um, let's not cause trouble here." The girl was very anxious. With most of the people in the shop turning to look at her, she bowed apologetically and said, "We already have a lot of trouble, Lady Tsunade. Let's not cause any more trouble. How about we go back to the inn?"
"Let go of them! I'm going to teach them a lesson! I'm going to teach them a lesson today!"
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry."
Yang Xing never expected that he would encounter Tsunade so coincidentally, especially at this time.
But to be honest, Shizune looks better. Tsunade, with her bad drinking manners, doesn't look very appealing.
A commotion broke out in the store.
What is this woman doing?
"Are you sick in the head? Are you looking to die?"
It was obvious that the ninjas who were yelled at by Tsunade also had rather bad tempers.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Lady Tsunade, let's go back. Let's not cause trouble here."
Shizune tried to leave, pulling Shizune Tsunade, but unfortunately, the group that had been insulted wouldn't let them off so easily.
Being insulted so humiliatingly by a woman in front of so many people, the ninjas were already furious. They immediately surrounded her, looking extremely arrogant.
"Hey, what business is it of yours what we're talking about Hokage?" one of them said angrily. "You're nobody in the Hokage, are you infatuated with that pretty boy Fourth Hokage?"
"You dare say that again?" Tsunade's eyes turned cold, and a murderous intent flashed in her beautiful pupils.
"Lady Tsunade, please don't do this, we'll really be in trouble." Shizune, her face grim, grabbed Tsunade and turned to the other ninjas, pleading, "Gentlemen, you'd better leave quickly, please don't provoke Lady Tsunade any further."
"Oh?" Several ninjas laughed, one of them even asking with a smile, "Why can't we say?"
"This woman's got quite the big mouth, but I'm not going to give up today." The guy, unafraid of death, pointed a finger at Tsunade's nose and said directly, "You're a flower... Pfft!"
It was obvious that he hadn't finished speaking.
The person then flew away!
Tsunade's strength was indeed formidable. Before the opponent could finish speaking, she threw a punch, and Yang Xing clearly saw that the opponent's face was deformed the instant it hit him.
He was sent flying backwards, his whole body spinning.
With a loud bang, it smashed through the wall in front of it.
It actually crashed right through the store's wall, and without even a groan, it collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.
The person was sent flying, crashing into the wall and sliding for another ten meters before coming to a stop. He was probably seriously injured, if not dead.
