"Are you done yet? My fingers are getting sore. How about we continue tomorrow..."
"Teacher Tsunade, please hold on a little longer. I'm starting to feel it!"
"All right, then. Hurry up. I'm so sleepy..."
It was already late at night. Obito could now smoothly gather chakra in his hands and feet, the extremities of his body.
But he still couldn't cover his entire body with it and form a chakra cloak like the Third Raikage's.
His last attempt ended in failure, but he wasn't discouraged. Being able to use moves like Tsunade's Strength Enhancement Punch and Heavenly Foot on his first day of training had already far exceeded his expectations.
The system had played a major role in his rapid progress. Although it was the system that activated his skills, his body had already been transformed.
If Obito were a car, his vehicle had already been upgraded quite a bit. Normally, he would be the driver, but with the system, it was like having an automatic pilot.
The night passed without a word.
Early the next morning, they were both looking a little listless. They had gone to bed too late, but after settling the bill, they continued on their way.
Obito carried the suitcase in one hand, while Tsunade carried the backpack on her back. Tsunade herself was on Obito's back... fast asleep.
Maintaining precise chakra control and a steady output took a heavy toll on Tsunade's mental strength. He hadn't thought of that yesterday.
Seeing her yawn again and again today, he couldn't help feeling sorry for her. Chinese souls were always soft on their wives...
"Hey... if you're awake, get down already... Your hair's tickling me."
"No. As punishment, you're carrying me all the way to our next stop today." Tsunade shook her head and refused.
"Ah, you're impossible..."
Tsunade smiled knowingly. She loved the sweet, sappy feeling of being in love... The sweetness kept building in her heart, and her pain gradually faded.
With Obito's strength, covering a thousand li in a day was no problem. By dusk, they finally reached the Land of Hot Water's famous hot spring resort.
The low mountains didn't have any dramatic peaks, but they were covered in lush, verdant trees.
There were plenty of rivers and streams, their gurgling waters making a gentle, tinkling sound.
Under a blue sky dotted with white clouds, the air was filled with moisture. Just being there was enough to ease much of their fatigue.
"What a lovely place. I wish I could live here forever," Tsunade sighed.
"You said the same thing yesterday," Obito teased.
"Hmph, keep walking!" Tsunade pinched both his ears, sitting on his shoulders like a knight on horseback.
"Let go! Don't I have any dignity?" He shook his head, trying to pry her hands off his ears.
"Ow, ow, ow..."
An hour later,
"Wow! How did you do that?" Tsunade asked, dumbfounded.
They had arrived at a villa halfway up the mountain. From its balcony, they could take in the scenery below. The villa was spacious and lavishly furnished, and even had a natural hot spring fed by fresh water.
"You said you wanted to live here forever, didn't you? Now you can."
Obito put down their luggage, opened the suitcase, took out a document envelope, and handed it to Tsunade. "A present for you."
Tsunade was still reeling. She took the envelope and opened it. Inside was a document—the deed to the house...
The owner's name was Tsunade herself.
Obito had been planning this trip for a long time. He had arranged for members of the Uchiha Clan to prepare the house in advance.
Incidentally, with Obito's rising status in the clan and Fugaku's cooperation, the Uchiha Clan was now firmly under his control.
Unlike Uchiha Madara's iron-fisted policies, Obito focused on finding talent among the clan's middle and lower ranks, sending them out to manage businesses and expand their operations.
The stronger an Uchiha was, the more likely he was to be a little crazy... Meanwhile, there were plenty of uniquely talented members among the weaker ones.
"Ah! Obito! I love you!" Tsunade leaped onto Lu Ming like a koala.
It wasn't about how much the house was worth. She was touched by the thought behind it. He had given her so many wonderful surprises.
Holding Tsunade's soft body, they met each other's eyes and shared a deep kiss that spoke of their feelings.
Having the deed changed how she felt about the house. No matter how nice an inn was, it still wasn't home.
Tsunade adopted the air of the lady of the house and began inspecting the rooms one by one, as proud as a queen...
Watching how Tsunade had changed under his influence, Obito felt a warm glow of satisfaction... Was this the joy of watching someone grow?
"Aw... It's such a shame we can only stay in this lovely house for a few days," Tsunade said, sounding a little wistful.
"Come here and sit down." He sat on the sofa and patted his thigh.
Tsunade came over and sat on Obito's lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. "Do you have any ideas?"
Holding her around the waist, he thought that Tsunade's figure was exactly what men found beautiful. Her full curves and slender build, two different qualities, blended perfectly together.
"I'm going to tell you my last secret," Obito said tenderly.
"Huh? Your last secret?" Tsunade asked in confusion, then grew furious. "You still have secrets from me?!"
Her arms tightened around Obito's neck, and Lu Ming was caught between pain and pleasure.
So fragrant, so soft, so smothering...
"Stop messing around..."
"Sit still. Don't move." Obito activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, pulling Tsunade into the Kamui Dimension.
He himself seemed to be sucked into space and vanished from the room.
A moment later, he appeared at his home in Konoha and released Tsunade from the Kamui Dimension.
"Hm? What's this? We're back in Konoha?" Tsunade asked in surprise, looking around at the familiar surroundings.
"That's right. This is the ability of my Mangekyō Sharingan, so we can live in the Land of Hot Water every day and use Kamui to come back here."
"And as long as we've been somewhere before, I can get there directly with Space-Time Ninjutsu. So you can start traveling the world now. We'll only need to come back every few days."
"My dream came true... Does that mean I need a new dream...? A life without dreams isn't a good life!"
