Adopting Chino

Now that everything had been settled, it was time to coax Tsunade back to Konoha and complete the system's mission!!!

"Big brother, raise me!"

Chino kept stubbornly following Shao Nan, hugging his leg!

"Though it may sound cruel, Shao Nan, I advise you not to get involved! Children like her are everywhere in the ninja world!"

After Tsunade said that—

Chino clung to Shao Nan's leg and glared viciously at Tsunade!

"Bad woman, hmph! You're stealing my big brother!"

One mature woman and one loli were now locking eyes, neither willing to yield!

[Ding! Loli Development Plan triggered! How could you refuse such an adorable little loli?!]

[Adopt Chino and make her yours! Grant Chino the Loli Aura!]

[Loli Aura (Passive Skill): The host can control whether the aura is activated or deactivated.]

[Irresistible adorable charm bestowed upon Chino.]

[Women will be unable to resist liking Chino. Can be activated separately.]

[Men will try every possible way to please Chino. Can be activated separately.]

[Enemies are no exception!]

This system was stirring up trouble the moment it appeared! I still hadn't figured out Chino's identity!

But seeing how innocently adorable she looked right now, what was there to hesitate over?

I'm so strong now. It's not like the Blood Dragon Eye could kill me!

This aura skill seemed pretty powerful. When picking up girls, I could just bring Chino along!

Wouldn't that make her the ultimate conversation starter? A must-have for chasing girls?

At that moment, an evil thought surfaced in Shao Nan's mind.

What if I tried my luck with Kaguya Otsutsuki?

The pinnacle of married women in the ninja world!

Amazing, amazing. I absolutely had to have this idea!

Kaguya, wait for me! I'll revive you!

I have a system—who am I afraid of!

Not even the Sage of Six Paths could stop me!

When facing powerful enemies, I could also send Chino out to confuse them.

Then I'd launch a sneak attack! What enemy wouldn't be thrown off?!

And this aura skill was under my control.

"Chino, follow me from now on. I'll raise you!"

Tsunade looked somewhat surprised. "Are you serious? Do you even know where she came from or who she is?"

"Tsunade, she's still just a child!"

After saying that, Shao Nan raised a hand and stroked Tsunade's cheek. "Don't you like children, Tsunade?"

Tsunade blushed, her cheeks starting to burn. What does he mean by that? Is he hinting at something? If I wanted a child now, would people laugh at me?

Just then, Chino leaped again and landed on Shao Nan's back.

"Yay! Big brother, you're so nice!" (Chino is set to become his adopted daughter! There will be an introduction later.)

[Loli Aura being distributed...]

[Loli Aura successfully granted! The host can use their thoughts to control the aura's activation function!]

The aura had arrived. Let's see how effective it was first!

"Aura, activate!!! Target: females."

Shao Nan silently recited the command!

There was no change to Chino at all! She still looked like the same dirty little beggar!

Then Tsunade and Shizune suddenly leaned in, their eyes gleaming gold!

"So cute! Shao Nan, what kind of big brother are you?! How could you let adorable Chino get this filthy?!"

Tsunade pinched Shao Nan's waist, then scooped Chino into her arms.

As Chino landed in Tsunade's embrace, Tsunade's twin peaks bounced with a duang, heaving unsteadily!

"My little cutie, big sister will take you to buy pretty, adorable clothes, and take you to soak in hot springs!"

Chino looked blankly up from Tsunade's arms. "Big sister, you're so good to me!"

After saying that, Chino buried her head in Tsunade's chest! One big eye peeked out, looking at Shao Nan with a triumphant expression!

Standing beside Tsunade, Shizune lovingly stroked Chino's little cheek.

"Little Chino is so cute. What do you want to eat? Big sister will buy it for you!"

Chino tossed a small cloth bag full of food to Shao Nan with one hand.

"Big sister, I want to eat lots of delicious food!"

Not to be outdone, Tsunade actually took out her gambling funds and tossed them to Shizune.

"Shizune, take the money and buy lots of tasty food!"

Shizune accepted the gambling funds, narrowing her eyes with a beaming smile.

"Little Chino, wait for big sister to come back!"

Shao Nan was dumbfounded. Just moments ago, Tsunade had looked disgusted by Chino, yet now she was hugging and lifting her up.

She had even taken out her gambling money to spend on the little girl!

"The effect is pretty good!"

Little Chino spent a happy day being pampered! Before she knew it, she had played herself tired!

After returning to the inn, Shizune carried Chino into a room to rest.

Meanwhile, Tsunade pulled Shao Nan into another room to have a private talk!

"You can tell me what you really think now. You're definitely not an ordinary man!"

Shao Nan was speechless. I'm not some bad guy! What thoughts could I possibly have?!

Well, with you wearing nothing but a bathrobe right now, it was hard for me not to have thoughts!!!

"Well, my thoughts are very simple. While revitalizing the Senju clan, I'll also get to know and spend more time with beautiful women."

Tsunade looked at Shao Nan's utterly sincere face. He didn't seem to be lying! Yet for some reason, it felt rather conflicting to her!

She seemed unwilling to see Shao Nan getting close to other beautiful women!

Tsunade shook her head and said resentfully, "If that's the case, why did you have to mess with me?"

"It was love at first sight—I simply couldn't resist! It couldn't be helped, understand?"

After saying that, Shao Nan's gaze settled on Tsunade's 106 snow-white expanse!

Tsunade blushed. Could it really have been love at first sight? That attraction he has makes it impossible for me to stop myself!

Forget it. Why should I compete with those little girls for his attention? Let him do as he pleases!

Then she asked sternly, "What rank of ninja are you now?"

Shao Nan was a little bewildered. Weren't they just talking about romance?

What rank of ninja was I? Even Shao Nan himself had never defined it.

With his infinite chakra and Senju Monster Strength, he should be at Super Kage level now!

Even if he wasn't yet, once he completed the mission and obtained Hashirama Senju's self-healing ability at his peak, as well as x-ray vision—

In the entire ninja world, aside from those few absurdly overpowered freaks, who could stop my advance!

"I should be a Kage-level powerhouse now!!!"

???

Tsunade's face was full of question marks.

Even if your strength is greater than mine, you can't be this arrogant!

"Tell me the truth! Which ninja academy did you graduate from?"

Shao Nan searched hard through the original owner's memories, but couldn't find anything about attending school.

"I never went to a ninja academy! But I imagine my strength is at least comparable to Kage level."

Even Chojuro could become the Sixth Mizukage!

Could I really be worse than him? Then my transmigration would be an utter failure!

"Shao Nan, once we return to Konoha, you will attend the ninja academy!"

Upon hearing that, Shao Nan sprang up on the spot. "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Attending class is impossible—I'll never attend class in this lifetime! Besides, I'm almost twenty already. Why would I go to school?"

"Don't forget what you promised me! Is this what you call listening to me? You're a grown man, and you're going to break your word!"

"Well, let's discuss it. I really don't want to go to school!"

Seeing the unwilling look on Shao Nan's face, Tsunade did not keep forcing him.

But as a true descendant of the Senju clan, how could he not study ninja knowledge?

At that moment, Tsunade thought of someone from her generation—Jiraiya.

Jiraiya hadn't liked studying either.

He had gained knowledge through all kinds of battles and wars.

Later, he had even taken the Fourth Hokage as his disciple!

I can use Jiraiya as a reference and tailor a plan for Shao Nan!

The Chunin Exams were about to begin. I'll throw him in there to temper himself!

Having thought it through, Tsunade looked calmly at Shao Nan.

"Konoha's Chunin Exams are about to begin. As long as you come back with first place, you won't have to attend school!

Otherwise, I won't sign your name into the clan register!"

The moment Shao Nan heard this, he began to panic!

This concerned whether he could complete the mission!

The mission reward was an immortal body!

"No, Tsunade! Sign my name first, and then I'll take the Chunin Exams!"

"If I sign it and you go back on your word, what then? Just like before—you still didn't listen to me, did you?" Tsunade sounded resentful.

"Tsunade, I swear in the name of the Senju clan that I will absolutely participate in the Chunin Exams you mentioned! As long as you sign my name!"

"Is that name really so important to you?"

"It is extremely important to my dream. It's the best proof that I'm recognized as Senju!"

After Shao Nan said that, the room fell utterly silent, and Tsunade did not continue questioning him.

It seemed that what Shao Nan had just said had touched her heart.

No wonder I'm fond of him. He truly is the man I chose!

Jingle~ jingle~ ding-a-ling~

The sound of wind chimes in the breeze broke the silence!

"What a troublesome man. I like that wild, unruly side of you.

Once we return, I'll write your name into the clan register.

And I'll have the daimyo of the Land of Fire, along with all the major Konoha clans, celebrate for the Senju!"

After hearing that, Shao Nan did not answer. Instead, he walked toward Tsunade.

Looking at Tsunade, who was a head shorter than him, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

I admit that I was attracted to her looks!

But still!

Having transmigrated into the ninja world, how could I miss out on—

Tsunade, with her incredible figure and capable hands!

Shao Nan gave Tsunade a sunny smile like a cheerful young man.

Then he reached out, slipped his hands through Tsunade's hair, and wrapped them behind her neck.

"Shao Nan, what are you trying to do..." Tsunade said softly.

Then she closed her eyes, allowing Shao Nan to do as he pleased!

Suddenly, something cool touched her neck!

She could only feel something tugging between her breasts!

Tsunade finally understood what Shao Nan was doing. He was taking off my necklace!

"This necklace is too heavy for you. From now on, I'll bear this burden!!!"

Tsunade immediately opened her eyes, only to find that her green crystal necklace was already in Shao Nan's hand.

Shao Nan saw tears shimmering in Tsunade's eyes, while her little mouth trembled as though it wanted to speak!

Shao Nan directly put the necklace around his own neck, then lowered his head and gently kissed Tsunade on the forehead!

He gave Tsunade no chance to speak.

Tsunade blushed. Why is he kissing me again!

Thinking of the necklace, she remembered that she had once given it to two important people.

She had personally put it around their necks, but both of them had died!

She then forcefully pushed Shao Nan away, trying to snatch the necklace back.

Shao Nan hopped backward and laughed at Tsunade. "Hehehe, you can't catch me! Hahaha!"

"Stop fooling around, Shao Nan. You can't wear that necklace! It'll get you killed!"

"Tsunade, this necklace can't curse me! My life is tough—I won't die!"

Tears fell from the corners of Tsunade's eyes as she cried, "Why wouldn't you die? After meeting you today, I finally feel like I'm no longer alone! Shao Nan, give me back the necklace!"

Crying, Tsunade looked pitiful and delicate.

"Let it be a token of my revitalization of the Senju clan—and also a token of love from you to me!"

"Believe me, I won't die. If you need a reason, then after you take me back to the Senju clan grounds and I acknowledge my ancestors, I'll give you one."

"Tsunade, you can't take it back. Not only do I have monstrous strength, I also have an absolutely enormous amount of chakratonra!"

"What token of affection? Don't talk nonsense!" A blush rose to Tsunade's cheeks.

Then she continued, "What is chakratonra?"

"It means having so much chakra that it's huge—so much you can never use it all up!"

"In that case, we'll go back first thing tomorrow morning!" After saying that, Tsunade wiped away her tears.

Then she added, "Hurry back to your room. I need to rest!"

Shao Nan looked a little dejected as he walked toward the door. Just as he was about to open it and leave, he turned back!

As if suddenly realizing something, he said, "Tsunade, this is my room!"

Tsunade boldly untied her bathrobe. "Then... don't leave!"

Shao Nan seemed to see a dazzling radiance flashing before his eyes!

"What is that? How can it be so bright!"

Shao Nan charged toward the light!

"Tsunade, I'll battle you for three hundred rounds!"
