People in Konoha: Three Choices at the Start Chapter 40

Liuyun's current development of the Ice-Ice Fruit was entirely self-developed based on the anime he had watched.

Although given time, he would definitely surpass Aokiji.

Yet why not eat the chicken delivered right to his doorstep? He could completely take its essence and discard its dross!

Mikoto! We're about to sleep soon, can you change into your pajamas?

Thinking of this, Liuyun spoke up directly.

"Th-those! I didn't bring any!" Mikoto's face flushed with shyness as she stammered softly.

"It's fine! I brought some!" Liuyun said as he took out a Sealing Scroll and gave it a pat on the bed.

Immediately, one beautiful piece of clothing after another appeared around them.

"Li-Liuyun, when did you pack these?!"

Looking at the familiar garments all around her, Mikoto's face turned frighteningly red, almost as if smoke were puffing from the top of her head.

Because she even spotted a matching pair of panties in there!

Mind you, she had worn all of these before and hadn't washed them yet...

"Isn't this to prevent emergencies?"

With a dry chuckle, Liuyun handed the Office Lady Uniform to Mikoto and put the rest back into the Sealing Scroll.

These were his treasures; accidents must absolutely not happen.

"I'll wait for you outside!" With that, Liuyun vanished from the tent.

Examining the outfit in front of her closely, Mikoto felt a mix of shyness and lingering joy.

Because Liuyun liked it when she wore this outfit!!

As for Liuyun's claim that these clothes were just pajamas, she didn't believe that for a second!

A rustling sound soon drifted from inside the tent.

A moment later, Mikoto's delicate voice came from within.

"Li-Liuyun, you can come in!"

"You got it!" Lifting the tent curtain, Liuyun strode directly inside.

Pulling the curtain down slowly, Liuyun flicked his mind, frost condensed, and the curtain in front of them froze solid instantly.

Hmph! Only yours truly gets to see his cabbage's clothes.

Seeing Liuyun's actions, Mikoto knelt on the tatami, lowering her small head bashfully like a startled quail.

Approaching Mikoto, Liuyun didn't stand on ceremony either—

He picked up... amidst Mikoto's blushing and dazed expression...

Half an hour later, Liuyun wiped the corner of his mouth and smiled.

"Thanks for the treat, Mikoto! Keep it up from now on, okay?"

Mikoto had long since covered her face, burying her head deep under the covers, too shy for words.

He peeled off the black garment from Mikoto and tossed it into another sealing scroll; this set couldn't be worn anymore since it was all wet, and sleeping in it at night would only feel uncomfortable.

Crawling into the tatami, he hugged Mikoto as usual, except Mikoto's body was frighteningly hot, and her breathing still came with hot pants.

This made Liuyun somewhat worried, so he said softly, "Mikoto, are you alright?"

"N-no! Nothing! It'll be fine after a while!" Mikoto stammered, her voice like a mosquito's.

"Good to hear!" Liuyun nodded.

Inhaling the familiar fragrance on Mikoto's body, Liuyun felt a fresh wave of complaints rising within him.

When will I ever truly grow up?! When will someone hand me a Body Growth Potion?! This damn system is completely useless!

Chapter 63 Dare to Compete with Me for Tsunade? I'll Wipe You Out! (3/4)

Impure World Reincarnation, cell experiments...

Pursuing the truth of immortality, though the current Orochimaru still retained some darkness.

He had yet to experience the death of Nawaki, so he was still relatively normal at this point.

Therefore, Liuyun also displayed a friendly attitude toward him; after all, he was in the same squad as Tsunade, so he owed Orochimaru some face at least.

"No! No! I only have this one disciple, you saved his life, and I owe you a favor!"

"Tell me if you need anything when the time comes!"

Orochimaru's slit pupils shifted back and forth, his face entirely serious.

"Alright!"

Only a fool would turn down a favor delivered right to their doorstep; this could be considered an unexpected harvest for today!

As soon as Tsunade finished showing off, she sat right next to Liuyun. The moment she sat down, a young man started chatting with her.

With a head of azure-blue hair and a rather handsome appearance, this man was none other than Shizune's uncle and Tsunade's future lover, Kato Dan.

However, with Liuyun around now, all of that became irrelevant.

"That person is a jounin under Tsunade, named Kato Dan!"

Orochimaru explained flatly to Liuyun.

Liuyun nodded in understanding.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hatake Sakumo officially opened the meeting.

The agenda was simple: retaliate against the Sand Ninja!

After all, those Genin who died yesterday couldn't die in vain, and some of them had deep blood ties to certain jounin in the room.

The room was noisy, arguing from daylight until nightfall.

Finally, Hatake Sakumo made the executive decision.

"Tomorrow, led by Orochimaru, we'll wage war against the Sand Ninja, assisted by Jiraiya, while I hold the line and draw the attention of the Third Kazekage!"

"Tsunade will lead a squad to the rear Sand Ninja base to destroy all their logistical grain and supplies!"

"Don't worry! Leave it to me, the mission will definitely be completed!" Tsunade patted her chest in assurance.

With the matters settled, the crowd left with excitement.

After all, they finally got a chance to properly teach the Sand Ninja a lesson and avenge the fallen Genin.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Tsunade patted Liuyun's cheeks, saying with annoyance.

"What's wrong? Is it over?"

Liuyun opened his eyes, looked at the already empty seats, and let out a long breath.

"You, ugh! I brought you here to attend a meeting! And you—you just slept through the entire day!"

Tsunade pinched Liuyun's ear, exasperated at his lack of ambition.

"Have you ever seen a ten-year-old kid required to attend a military briefing?" Liuyun rolled his eyes in retort.

"Liuyun-kun is quite right. Our purpose in calling Liuyun-kun here was merely to let them get acquainted with him!"

"As long as they know his strength, whether he participates or not doesn't matter!"

Orochimaru spoke up. When it counted, my snake uncle always delivered.

"What are you trying to do, Orochimaru? I'm warning you, this brat Liuyun is my disciple; you'd better go train Nawaki instead!"

Tsunade's tone was unkind, her lovely eyes filled with vigilance.

This guy couldn't possibly be trying to poach her student, could he?

"You're overthinking it! I'd love to take Liuyun-kun in, but unfortunately, he's not willing!" Orochimaru shook his head.

He turned his head and gave Liuyun a hoarse smile, "Liuyun-kun, I'll be leaving first!"

"See ya!"

Until Orochimaru vanished, Tsunade's expression remained heavily guarded.

She muttered softly, "Would this guy really be so kind??"

Liuyun was speechless. The reason Orochimaru treated him this way, as stated earlier, was to repay the favor of saving Nawaki.

This big-chested woman... whatever! All her intelligence was stored in her cerebrospinal fluid, completely useless...

"I'm heading out, Tsunade! You need to be careful tomorrow; keeping your life is the most important thing!" Jiraiya said with concern.

In the past, the three of them always operated together, so having Tsunade act alone this time genuinely made him feel unaccustomed!

"Relax! This lady isn't as weak as you think! We'll definitely win this mission!" Tsunade clenched a fist, looking thoroughly confident.

This left Jiraiya full of doubt—where on earth did Tsunade get this kind of confidence?

"Action? What action tomorrow?!" Liuyun asked out of curiosity.

"Hmph!" With a cold snort, she pulled Liuyun along as she walked outside.

As they walked, she filled Liuyun in on her mission plan.

"Are you out of your mind?! Just you alone? Plus a few jounin to go wreak havoc in the enemy Sand Ninja's stronghold?"

Liuyun frowned. Although this plan relied on Jiraiya and Orochimaru stalling the enemy at the front!

Even so, it was far too dangerous; it was a complete nine-deaths-and-a-lifetime mission!

"Hehe! Of course this lady can't do it alone—isn't that why I have you?"

Tsunade smiled smugly, feeling no shame whatsoever and instead taking pride in it!

"Me?" Liuyun pointed at himself.

His mind raced furiously, and he instantly understood why Hatake Sakumo had asked Tsunade to destroy the Sand Ninja's grain supplies!

The man knew Liuyun's strength, but finding it awkward to ask directly, he simply dumped the mission on Tsunade, completely borrowing her hands to make Liuyun step in!

He had heard of people throwing their sons or fathers under the bus, but he had never seen anyone throw their disciple under the bus before.

Not long after the two walked off, that bastard Kato Dan appeared before Tsunade.

"Does Kato-jounin need something?"

Tsunade asked with a puzzled look, her voice laced with cold indifference—completely incomparable to the tone she used when talking to Liuyun.

"I'd like to apply for this mission!"

Kato Dan smiled gently, radiating the personality of a little sunshine Minato.

Liuyun narrowed his eyes slightly, a trace of cold light flashing within them. He dared to compete with his wife? Should he find a chance to wipe this kid out?

"I'll consider it! I'll give you an answer tomorrow!"

With that, she pulled Liuyun toward her tent.

"I must say, you're quite the ice queen! Do you really hate that Kato-jounin?" Liuyun was genuinely curious!

Why did Tsunade's tone sound as though she had a personal grudge against Kato Dan?

"It's nothing, just a useless pursuer, that's all!" Tsunade said with annoyance.

Once she finished, her expression turned unusually serious. "You left early yesterday, so I didn't get a chance to ask."

"You mentioned last night that their mission this time involved roping Nawaki in on short notice."

"That means Nawaki is also in their plans or on the roster!"

"What should I do? Or how can I make sure Nawaki stays alive?"

Tsunade stared intently at Liuyun, a deep and burning urgency filling her lovely eyes.

(We're about to launch on the shelves. Folks, could you drop some flowers to bring some good luck and surprise me?!)

Chapter 64 Ambush the Sand Ninja's Main Base! (4/4)

Liuyun looked at Tsunade in surprise. When it concerned her younger brother, this big-chested woman's brain was finally showing signs of clearing up.

He held up three fingers. "I have three methods. 1: Continue sending big brother Nawaki back to Konoha, keeping him cooped up inside the Senju Clan Compound the whole time."
