The dim light of the morning light fell on the vast land of Shinobi World. Two figures slowly walked out of the high wall of Konoha and embarked on an unknown journey.
Shinichi put his hands behind his head and kicked the pebbles on the road leisurely, with his usual lazy smile on his face. His eyes fell on the rolling mountains in the distance, and he was thinking about something in his mind.
"Tsunade, where do you think our first stop should be?" he asked casually, his tone as relaxed as if he was just going to a nearby barbecue restaurant for a meal, rather than about to embark on an adventure across Shinobi World.
Tsunade was stunned when he heard this, blinked his amber eyes, and looked at him in disbelief.
"Huh? You told me so much yesterday, I thought you would have clear goals and plans!!!" She put her hands on her hips, with a hint of helplessness and anger in her tone.
Hearing this, Shinichi shrugged, looking indifferent, "Oh, isn't planning the most troublesome thing?" He casually took out a map from his pocket and unfolded it casually, "Look, Shinobi World is so big, you can see the scenery no matter which way you go."
Tsunade The veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, and he couldn't help but want to smash his fist down.
She originally thought that this guy would make a careful itinerary, and even expected that the first stop would be some mysterious ruins or unsolved places, but the result--
This bastard didn't even think about his destination!!
"Shinichi!!!" Tsunade roared, his fists raised high, and there was a faint suffocating murderous aura in the air.
Seeing this, Shinichi quickly grabbed her wrist and quickly put on an innocent expression, "Hey, hey, don't be so angry. Our goal is to explore Shinobi World. We have to adapt to changes to make it more adventurous, right?"
Tsunade took a deep breath, trying hard to restrain his urge to punch Shinichi into the ground, and then glared at him, "Then at least give me a general direction!"
Shinichi narrowed his eyes, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and his eyes flashed with a cunning light. He raised his finger and gently clicked on a certain location on the map, "Then... go to Land of Demons."
Tsunade raised his eyebrows, crossed his arms, and looked at Shinichi with a careful look, with a hint of teasing in his tone. "Land of Demons? You don't want to see how beautiful the legendary Miko is, right?"
When Shinichi heard this, his eyes widened immediately with an expression of "You actually miss me so much". Then he showed an exaggerated smile and said solemnly, "Oh, Tsunade, can't you think of something better? Besides, Shinobi World, how can there be a girl more beautiful than you? I won't believe it to death!!"
After saying that, he nodded seriously, showing a look like "I am an honest kid."
Tsunade was slightly startled, and a faint blush unconsciously appeared on his cheeks, but he quickly regained his composure, turned his head and snorted, "Glib tongue."
Shinichi shrugged and continued with a smile, "Land of Demons is one of the oldest countries in Shinobi World. It is said that Miko there has mysterious power and can seal evil... What's more, there are many ancient ruins on that land. Maybe we can find something interesting?"
Tsunade glanced at him with her peripheral vision, as if to judge whether he was deceiving her again, but in the end, she still showed a look of interest.
"Ancient ruins..." She whispered thoughtfully.
Shinichi struck while the iron was hot and added, "Of course, we have to explore such a mysterious place, right? Maybe we can find some precious ancient Sealing Jutsu, and even make some breakthroughs in your Sealing Jutsu."
Tsunade thought for a while and finally nodded, "It sounds interesting, then go to Land of Demons."
"Hehe, the wise and mighty Lady Tsunade really has a good eye!" Shinichi immediately smiled and patted her shoulder, giving her a thumbs up.
"And..." Shinichi added lazily, "Land of Demons has a warm climate, pleasant scenery, and is suitable for traveling."
Tsunade couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Are you going to explore or go on vacation?!"
Shinichi coughed slightly and said seriously, "Of course I want to explore! But, wouldn't it be better to enjoy the exotic customs on the way?"
Tsunade looked at him speechlessly, and finally sighed helplessly, "Forget it, it's up to you... But I want to warn you, if you go to Land of Demons to fish and be lazy, I will never let you go easily!"
Shinichi immediately raised his hands and surrendered, "I understand, Lady Tsunade is wise and powerful!"
Tsunade snorted and took steps, "Let's go, Land of Demons, let's go!"
In this way, a man and a woman stepped into the vast unknown world of Shinobi World, embarking on a journey full of unknowns and challenges.
But they didn't know that this journey would change the fate of the entire Shinobi World.
As night falls, stars dot the dark night sky, insects chirp in the forest, and Kakkō sways gently in the breeze.
Tsunade skillfully opened the seal scroll, took out the tent and sleeping bag, and prepared to set up a temporary camp.
However, when she was busy setting up the tent, she was keenly aware that Shinichi next to her was looking at her with a meaningful look, and the corners of his mouth even slightly raised, as if he was mocking her.
Tsunade raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone, "Humph, you Uchiha Heir, who never leaves the house without leaving the door, has never survived in the wild, right?"
Shinichi Hearing this, he leaned leisurely against the tree trunk, folded his hands on his chest, nodded slightly, and said in a calm tone, "Well, you are right, I have never slept in the wild."
Tsunade originally just said it casually, but she didn't expect Shinichi to admit it so frankly, which made her a little stunned for a moment.
Immediately, she was shocked -
This guy... has never rested in the wild?!
The scene of Shinichi rushing thousands of miles single-handedly to rescue Tobirama Senju appeared in her mind. At that time, he crossed Shinobi World, killing enemies all the way without stopping; then, he fought fiercely with the enemies on the battlefield, and fought his way out of the siege with amazing combat effectiveness...
Did he really not rest for a moment during such a long journey?
Tsunade couldn't help but fell into a brief silence.
She has always known how strong Shinichi is and how talented she is, but she has never thought about it seriously--
This guy who is lazy and idle all day long actually has perseverance beyond ordinary people.
Her eyes became complicated, the corners of her mouth pursed slightly, and finally she whispered, "You... are trying too hard."
Hearing this, Shinichi glanced at her and smiled, "Little Tsunade, this is not a question of whether I fight or not, but Shinobi World never believes in tears. Only by surviving can we talk about the future."
Tsunade was slightly shocked when he heard this.
She knew that Shinichi was not just talking casually, but had personally experienced the cruelty of Shinobi World, so she said such words.
But even so, this guy is still so lazy... However, such a person who seems to be "just dawdling" is actually more reliable than anyone else at critical moments.
Tsunade sighed lightly and threw a sleeping bag into Shinichi's arms, "Forget it, just try sleeping outside today."
However, Shinichi casually threw the sleeping bag back to Tsunade, with a playful smile on his lips and a somewhat proud tone, "Little Tsunade, are you looking down on me too much? Who still uses such low-end methods for camping?"
Tsunade raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms, "Oh? Is it possible that you are planning to use your Lightning Release Chakra Mode to warm yourself up with a lightning strike?"
Shinichi smiled softly, and slowly moved his hands Hand Seals and Chakra, then patted the ground gently and said with a smile, "Wood Release·The art of four bedrooms and one living room!"
Boom--
The earth trembled slightly, and a delicate wooden house shaped by Wood Release quickly rose from the ground, with a natural woody fragrance, exuding a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
With a spacious hall, separate bedrooms, tatami floors, and even bathrooms and kitchens, it's simply a luxury outdoor resort-level experience!
Tsunade stared at the wooden house in front of him in stunned silence, and the corners of his mouth twitched a few times.
"... You guy, when did you learn Wood Release?!" She was shocked. She quickly stepped forward to open the door and looked around. She couldn't believe that this was actually a makeshift wild camp.
Shinichi shrugged, with a relaxed look on his face, "Ever since I got Advanced Sage Body, I have always wanted to try the feeling of Wood Release, and I just have the chance today."
Tsunade Take a deep breath, this guy's talent is too terrifying, isn't it?!
Wood Release is Hashirama Senju's signature ninjutsu, but now, Shinichi can be used at will, and can even build a house?
She didn't know whether to be surprised or angry for a moment - this guy was so talented, but he still looked lazy all day long!
Shinichi leaned lazily on the door frame and looked at her with raised eyebrows, "So, little Tsunade, are you going to sleep in a tent tonight, or come to my four bedrooms and one living room to enjoy it?"
Tsunade suddenly turned dark and raised his hand to punch him.
"This is the Wood Release Versailles technique, right?! Are you looking for a fight?!"
Shinichi laughed loudly, jumped slightly to dodge her fist, leisurely Earth Flow entered the wooden house, poured himself a cup of tea, and said leisurely, "Stop making trouble, come in quickly, there is a bed to sleep on tonight, isn't it nice?"
Tsunade snorted, and although he was unconvinced, he finally stepped into the wooden house.
After all... who would say no to a glamping cabin that comes with the ultimate in comfort?
Along the way, Shinichi and Tsunade had a great time traveling around the mountains and rivers.
The two of them walked and stopped, stopping to rest when they encountered beautiful places and enjoying the leisurely journey.
They visited the villages, river valleys, forests, and even Wilderness along the way, and occasionally tasted special delicacies from various places.
Shinichi is very satisfied with this. After all, his travel philosophy is "eat when you can, play when you can, and fish when you can".
Tsunade, on the other hand, enjoyed the trip quite a bit. Although she said she disliked Shinichi for not being serious all day long, in fact, she was happy to relax for a while.
Of course, there are some uninvited guests during the journey.
Occasionally, I would encounter a few wandering ninjas, or groups of bandits and bandits, but without exception, they all ended up being punched by Tsunade to the ground.
One day, a bandit organization claiming to be the "Shinobi World First Bandit Group" stopped them and arrogantly shouted at them to hand over their belongings, otherwise they would "suffer some hardship".
As a result, before they could take action, Tsunade punched the ground. In an instant, the mountains collapsed, the earth cracked, and boulders flew. The frightened bandits knelt down and begged for mercy, crying "I won't dare again"!
Shinichi stood aside leisurely, folding his arms and watching this scene with a smile, "Little Tsunade, be gentle, don't scare people into tears."
Tsunade kicked away a bandit who was running away with his head in his arms and glanced sideways at him, "Humph, you're wasting my time."
Shinichi shrugged and continued on his way leisurely.
To get to Land of Demons, their route needs to pass through the border area of Land of Fire, then enter Land of Hot Water, then go all the way west, pass through Land of Bears, and finally reach the territory of Land of Demons.
Along the way, they passed through hot spring towns, admired Land of Bears's rolling mountains and forests, and even met some reclusive ninja families in a hidden valley, and saw a different ninjutsu system from Konoha.
Along the way, Shinichi is still carrying out his fishing life very well, while Tsunade is responsible for fighting, survival, and decision-making along the way. She is just like a miserable person with a family, and she is quite dissatisfied with this.
"Hey, Shinichi! You should do something serious!!!"
Shinichi, on the other hand, leaned against the tree with peace of mind and leisurely ate the grilled fish in his hand. "I am responsible for eating and you are responsible for beating. Isn't this a perfect match?"
Tsunade had veins popping up on his forehead, and he raised his fists to teach him a lesson.
In fact, Shinichi did not do nothing at all. He left Flying Thunder God Formula at important places along the way. With his Chakra power now comparable to Nine-Tails, he can make extremely long distance jumps in time and space.
--So, they traveled all the way, jumping all over the place, heading in the direction of Land of Demons...
