Sweet Trip to the Land of Hot Water (4)

"Aren't you done yet? My fingers are sore. How about we continue tomorrow..."

"Please, Tsunade-sensei, just a little longer. I can feel it now!"

"Fine, fine, hurry up. I'm so sleepy..."

It was already late into the night. Obito was finally able to channel his chakra smoothly into his extremities, his hands and feet.

However, he still couldn't cover his entire body to form a chakra cloak like the Third Raikage.

His final attempt ended in failure, but he wasn't discouraged. Being able to use techniques similar to Tsunade's Strength Enhancement and Heavenly Foot on his very first day of training had already far exceeded his expectations.

The reason for such rapid progress was largely due to the system. Although the system was the one executing the skills, his body had already undergone the necessary modifications.

If one were to compare Obito to a car, his vehicle had been upgraded significantly. Normally, he would be the driver, but with the system, it had become an autonomous vehicle.

The night passed in silence.

Early the next morning, both of them looked listless from staying up too late. They checked out and continued their journey.

Obito carried the suitcases, Tsunade carried the backpack, and Tsunade was being carried on Obito's back... fast asleep.

Ensuring the precise flow and stable output of chakra was incredibly taxing on Tsunade's mental energy; he hadn't anticipated that yesterday.

Seeing her yawn repeatedly today made his heart ache. The soul of a Huaxia man is always one that dotes on his wife.

"Hey... wake up and get down... your hair is tickling me."

"No, I'm punishing you by making you carry me to the next place." Tsunade shook her head and refused.

"Sigh, I really can't do anything with you..."

Tsunade smiled knowingly. She truly enjoyed this cloying, romantic atmosphere... the sweetness kept accumulating in her heart, and the pain of losing Dan gradually faded away.

With Obito's strength, traveling a thousand miles a day was effortless. By evening, they finally arrived at the hot spring sanctuary in the Land of Hot Water.

The low mountains weren't particularly rugged, but they were lush and green, shaded by dense trees.

Small rivers and streams were everywhere, the gurgling water making a rhythmic, tinkling sound.

With the blue sky and white clouds, and the moisture in the air, one felt all fatigue wash away just by being there.

"What a wonderful place. I wish I could live here forever," Tsunade sighed.

"You said the same thing yesterday," Obito teased.

"Hmph, keep moving!" Tsunade pinched Obito's ears with both hands, looking like a female knight riding a horse.

"Let go, don't I have any dignity?" He shook his head, trying to break free from her grip.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

One hour later.

"(⊙o⊙) Wow, how did you manage this?" Tsunade asked, completely dumbfounded.

The two had arrived at a villa halfway up the mountain. From the balcony, one could overlook the entire landscape below. The villa was massive, luxuriously decorated, and even featured a natural, flowing hot spring inside.

"Didn't you say you wanted to live here forever? Now you can."

Obito put down the luggage, opened a suitcase, took out a document folder, and handed it to Tsunade. "A gift for you."

Tsunade hadn't fully recovered from her shock. She reached out, took the folder, and opened it. Inside was a single document: a property deed.

The name on the deed was none other than Tsunade herself.

Obito had been planning this trip for a long time. He had sent members of the Uchiha clan ahead to prepare the house.

By the way, with Obito's rising status in the clan and Fugaku's cooperation, the Uchiha clan could be said to be firmly under his control.

Unlike Uchiha Madara's high-pressure policies, Obito focused on selecting talent from the lower and middle ranks of the clan, sending them out to manage industries and expand business.

After all, the stronger an Uchiha was, the more unstable their mind tended to be... whereas among the lower-ranked members, there was no shortage of unique talent.

"Ah! Obito-kun! I love you to death!" Tsunade leaped onto Lu Ming, clinging to him like a koala.

It wasn't about how much the house was worth; it was the thought behind it that touched her so deeply. He had given her too many surprises.

Supporting her soft body, their eyes met, and they shared a deep kiss that spoke of their mutual affection.

With the deed in hand, the feeling of the house changed; no matter how nice a hotel was, it wasn't home.

Tsunade adopted the posture of a lady of the house, beginning to inspect the rooms one by one, as proud as a queen.

Watching the changes in Tsunade under his influence, Obito felt a sense of gratification... was this the joy of raising someone?

"Oh dear... I'm so melancholy. Such a nice house, and we can only stay for a few days..." Tsunade said, feeling a sense of loss.

"Come here, 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 a solution?"

He held her waist; Tsunade's figure was exactly what a man dreamed of, the perfect fusion of fullness and slimness.

"I want to entrust you with my final secret," Obito said affectionately.

"Huh? The final secret?" Tsunade looked confused, then immediately grew furious. "You actually still have secrets!"

The arms wrapped around Obito's neck tightened, and Lu Ming was immediately in a state of painful bliss.

So fragrant, so soft, so stifling...

"Stop messing around..."

"Sit still, don't move." Obito activated his Mangekyo Sharingan and sucked Tsunade into the Kamui dimension.

He himself then vanished from the room as if pulled away by the space itself.

He instantly reappeared in his home in Konoha and released Tsunade from the Kamui dimension.

"Hm? What is this? We're back in Konoha?" Tsunade looked at the familiar surroundings and asked in surprise.

"That's right. This is the ability of my Mangekyo Sharingan, so we can live in the Land of Hot Water every day and use Kamui to return."

"Furthermore, I can reach any place we have visited directly using space-time ninjutsu, so your dream of traveling the world can start right now. We only need to come back every few days."

"A dream come true... Should I change my dream now? A life without dreams is no life at all!"
