After the four people left Land of Whirlpools, Senju Chen took Yamato, accompanied Tsunade and Shizune and began traveling around Shinobi World in the next year.
There was nothing to look for this time, and there was no destination. The four of them just wandered around and had fun. It was like traveling around the world, and they could just go on a whim.
Land of Hot Water, a mist-shrouded hot spring hotel.
The air is filled with a faint smell of sulfur, mixed with the mellow aroma of sake. The night is like ink, and the sky is dotted with stars, reflecting the unique tranquility and serenity of Land of Hot Water.
"Little Chen, the sake here tastes good, do you want to try it?"
Tsunade was lazily leaning against the wooden fence, wearing a bathrobe. Her brilliant blond hair was casually scattered on her shoulders, and a few strands of wet hair were stuck to her fair neck, making her look even more mature. The charm of sex. She was holding an exquisite wine bottle in her hand, her amber eyes were full of comfort, and the laziness coming from her bones seemed to isolate all the troubles in the world from this dense layer of water vapor.
Senju Chen sat cross-legged opposite her, playing with a tea set in his hands, his movements elegant and calm. Hearing this, he just smiled helplessly and shook his head gently, "Sister, you have drank thirteen pots today. If you drink any more, I'm afraid you will have another headache tomorrow morning."
"What are you afraid of? With you here, am I still afraid of a headache?" Tsunade waved his hand boldly, with a playful smile on his lips, "Besides, at this time, it's best not to get drunk and not return."
Shizune on the side was holding Tonton and was carefully arranging Tsunade's scattered bathrobe. Hearing this, he couldn't help but murmured in a low voice, "Lady Tsunade, you have drank all the most famous pubs around here in the past few days. If you continue like this, the boss will treat us as free billboards."
"Hahaha, Shizune, you are still so verbose." Tsunade laughed, reaching out and pinching Shizune's red face.
Senju Chen looked at this scene, a gentle smile flashed in his eyes.
Since leaving Land of Whirlpools, they have visited almost half of Shinobi World's territory in the past year.
Land of Wind's sky full of yellow sand, Land of Lightning's Kumogakure mountains, Land of Rivers's rolling waterfalls, and this Land of Hot Water hot spring town, etc. They are like real travelers, avoiding centers full of conspiracy and war, just to appreciate the scenery of this world.
And Tsunade, during this half-year "revenge tour", visibly emerged from that state of decadence and escape. Senju Chen knew that this was because her words about "resolving bloodline conflicts" completely removed the last shackles in her heart.
She is no longer the "Fat Sheep" who hid in the casino to escape reality, and she no longer has the "excuse" to avoid going back to the village.
"Little Chen," Tsunade suddenly stopped smiling and looked beyond the lingering steam to the starry sky in the distance. His voice had a rare depth, "You have accompanied me to so many places in the past six months. Is it hard for you?"
Senju Chen put down the tea cup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes as clear as water. "Sister, being able to accompany you Sister Shizune makes me very happy, and this is a rare relaxation."
"Ha, you kid, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Tsunade snorted softly, but his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Of course she knows that Senju Chen is not really just traveling with her.
Although this kid didn't say anything, he could feel that his younger brother had never really had any leisure time.
On the street late at night.
Senju Chen seems to be walking alone on the street, but in fact he has started communicating with his clones in real time every day.
This year, although Senju Chen seems to be traveling with nothing to do, these clones are not idle.
Maruboshi Kosuke has fully recovered and is now back at the training base without any signs of injury.
The expansion plan of 'Food Is Heaven' is also very smooth. Ten branches have been officially put into operation. One of them is 'Cedar Village' which Senju Chen thought was in a good location. I still remember that when Classmate Little A came to see his sister to heal his companion, he was even beaten up by Senju Chen.
Then there is the cultivation of White Zetsu.
After this year, more than two hundred fresh individuals have been successfully cultivated. Among them, "Foreman White Zetsu" has selected a group of smarter ones and incorporated them into the previous investigation team. Half of the remaining ones were sent to Lord Orochimaru's experimental base, and the other half were left to continue cultivating the White Zetsu army.
Finally, Senju Chen specially arranged a clone six months ago, and returned to Land of Water with Yukimura Shigure. In addition to trying to see if he could find Obito Uchiha and Black Zetsu, there was also Senju Chen feels that Land of Water is simply a treasure land of Feng Shui. Kimimaro Kaguya, Gengetsu Hōzuki, Kisame Hoshigaki, Zabuza Momochi, Raiga Kurosuki, Six-Tails Jinchuriki in the original work Utakata, etc. all identified Kirigakure for this reason. Senju Chen arranged for a separate person to go there this time, just to be ready to dig into Land of Water's corner.
When Senju Chen returned to the room, Shizune was sitting at the table, feeding Tonton.
Seeing Senju Chen come in, she quickly stood up. "Little Chen, are you back?"
"Well, let's take a walk." Senju Chen walked to her side, stretched out his hand naturally, and gently rubbed her hair.
Shizune's face instantly turned red, but he did not dodge. Instead, he lowered his head shyly and tangled his hands together uneasily.
After spending half a year together day and night, the relationship between the two of them can be regarded as "improving by leaps and bounds."
Senju Chen Looking at her shy look, a warmth surged in his heart.
He walked to the table and sat down. Looking at Shizune's busy figure, he suddenly asked, "Sister Shizune, are you tired from following us around for the past six months?"
Shizune stopped what he was doing, turned his head, looked at Senju Chen, his eyes were clear and firm. "No, I am very happy to be with Little Chen and Lady Tsunade for such a carefree trip."
She paused and then added in a low voice, "Especially... when you are here."
Senju Chen smiled, stood up, walked behind Shizune, and gently held her hand.
Shizune's body trembled slightly, but he did not struggle. Instead, he leaned obediently into his arms.
At this moment, the moonlight outside the window shone on the two of them, and time seemed to stand still at this moment.
"Sister Shizune." Senju Chen called softly, "In the future, no matter what happens, I will protect you."
Shizune turned around and looked into Senju Chen's deep eyes.
"Well, I believe you."
On a balcony of the hotel.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?"
Senju Chen's voice sounded behind Tsunade.
Tsunade turned around and looked at Senju Chen, who was wearing a smart outfit, his eyes became a little complicated.
"Little Chen, you have been playing everywhere with me this year, are you bored?" she said suddenly.
Senju Chen walked to her side, stood side by side with her, looked at the scenery outside the window, and said softly, "It's so rare to have such leisurely time. As long as my sister wants to play, we can keep playing."
"Haha, you kid, you really know how to talk." Tsunade rolled his eyes at him, but did not refute.
The two of them stood on the balcony quietly blowing in the wind. After a while, Tsunade suddenly spoke.
"Little Chen, you know, I actually don't want to go back at all." Tsunade's voice was slightly deep.
"When I think about the intrigues among those high-level officials, I feel sick. When I think about having to shoulder the fate of the entire village, I feel like I have a headache."
Senju Chen did not speak. He knew that his sister was ready to make a choice, but Senju Chen also decided in his heart that no matter what his sister chose, he would support her unconditionally.
If my sister really decides not to go back this time, then the big deal is just like in the original work, just let the old man from Third take charge of Konoha for a few more years. Anyway, Shinobi World has been peaceful in the past few years.
After a few years of developing his own power and layout, Senju Chen believed that a small Konoha would definitely not be able to limit him.
As long as a few years pass, when he Senju Chen reaches adulthood, the worst he can do is seize power directly. I believe that with his size, Konoha Hokage Position, Third that old man will never dare not to hand it over.
