Tsunade: The Very, Very Last Time!

She frowned, as if trying to recall something.

When the First Hokage passed away, she was still quite young and didn't understand many things.

However, because his grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, was still alive, he gradually learned about her from her as he grew up.

"The reason my grandfather, the First Hokage, died young was not only because he excessively exhausted his Chakra and depleted his life force during his all-out battle with Madara Uchiha, which severely injured him..."

"More importantly, in order to protect the village, he killed his best friend, a close friend who held even greater importance in his heart than his own brother. The greatest sorrow is a broken heart!"

Thinking back to her grandfather, Tsunade sighed, "So, after returning to Konoha to pass the Hokage Position to the Second Hokage and settle his affairs... his spirit waned, and the resentment that had always weighed on his heart gradually gave way to his breaking point!"

"Yeah?"

Rikuto suddenly realized.

He was lost in thought there.

If he remembered correctly, when the First Hokage killed Madara Uchiha, he resolutely told his close friend, "If anyone threatens the village, I will not forgive them, not even my brothers, friends, or my children!"

However, Madara Uchiha were a direct response. "You've changed, Hashirama. This is putting the cart before the horse; sooner or later, this will become the darkness of the village!"

Without a doubt.

Regardless of who is right and who is wrong between the two.

Madara Uchiha has never changed; he is still the same person he always was.

But the First Hokage of that time had truly changed compared to when he first founded Konoha, when he was so broad-minded that he could embrace everything.

Even someone as upright and noble as him, who once naively believed that people could understand each other and even upheld this "peaceful" ideal, selflessly distributed the collected Tailed Beast to the men of various ninja villages in order to balance the power of different countries.

They will stop at nothing to protect the "village".

Even if it means killing one's own best friend, one can be ruthless enough to do it!

Clearly, the First Hokage realized this later on.

Regardless of right or wrong, he ultimately betrayed his original intention in joining forces with Madara Uchiha to establish "Konoha".

Because his ideas of "great love" and "peace" were confined to the "village," they gradually became narrow.

However, it was too late to realize this.

He has stated more than once that he considers Madara Uchiha as a brother.

0...

In the end, he stabbed Madara Uchiha in the back, his hands stained with the blood of his best friend and brother.

This was probably unacceptable to the First Hokage, who had suddenly come to his senses.

That's probably why he remained so resentful and died in despair, right?

"Oh, right, Sister Shizune..."

The doubts in my heart have been roughly answered.

Rikuto naturally stopped dwelling on it and stopped thinking about it so much.

He looked across at the Shizune, Rikuto was wrapped up tightly in a mask, and said with a smile, "Now that I'm back, let's continue our training tonight!"

"By the way, I'll teach you the Mysterious Peacock Method as soon as possible!"

"Ah?"

Shizune's heart skipped a beat.

She recalled the beautiful moment when Rikuto helped her cultivate the Yin Seal and the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

Her pretty face flushed red, and she stammered, "Okay... okay, then I'll trouble you, Rikuto!"

Looking at Shizune's shy expression.

A smile crept into Rikuto's eyes.

He looked at Tsunade, who was not far away, and said, "Sister Tsunade, why don't you go first..."

"I'm not in a rush. I'll practice my Wood Release techniques first these few days!"

Tsunade responded lazily with her eyes closed.

Having acquired Wood Release, his Chakra reserves increased by an unimaginable amount.

She no longer rushed to practice the Mysterious Peacock Method.

Moreover, when Rikuto was in the Tsukuyomi World, what he taught her was not only the Wood Release Ninjutsu left behind by the First Hokage, but also some more practical Wood Release Ninjutsu that he developed himself.

It already contains a technique that allows the caster to fly.

... Dry.

Chapter 161 Tsunade: The Very Last Time! [Second Update]

"Rikuto..."

Evening.

After dinner.

Shizune blushed as she entered Rikuto's room.

She was unusually dressed in a white cropped T-shirt, blue-gray denim shorts, and black sandals.

Her long, fair, and toned legs, and her slender waist that could be encircled with one hand.

Her flat, smooth abdomen was partially exposed, with her abs faintly visible.

Although her curves weren't quite exaggerated yet, her beautiful features combined with her youthful energy were quite captivating.

Rikuto chuckled inwardly, but didn't tease his usually conservative and somewhat shy senior sister. He asked, "How's your mastery of Swift Release, Senior Sister?"

"Thanks to you, Rikuto, I'm gradually getting used to it..."

Thinking about how her strength had increased several times in less than a day, Shizune found it somewhat unbelievable. She smiled and said, "However, my reflexes are still a little slow to keep up with the extreme speed of Swift Release; there's some stiffness. I need to practice more!"

"You can practice Lightning Release: Nature Transformation, using electrical current to stimulate cells and nerve conduction. That can greatly enhance your speed and nerve reaction ability..."

Rikuto stroked his chin and suggested directly, "Also, strengthen your sensory abilities!"

It's no secret that stimulating the body with Lightning Release can greatly enhance one's speed and nerve reflexes.

However, there are very few people in the Shinobi World who can achieve the level of the Third Raikage and Fourth Raikage father and son.

In particular, for Shizune, who is a medical-nin with an extremely deep understanding of the human body, and Chakra Shizune has been greatly enhanced with his help.

This is not a big problem at all.

Let's not even talk about reaching the level of the Fourth Raikage in one go.

But it would be great if we could improve our neural responses to the point where they are perfectly adapted to Swift Release as soon as possible.

At that time, combined with Swift Release, it would be considered a "Kage".

They wanted to gain something from Shizune.

That's impossible too.

"I see? I understand!"

Shizune listen to the opinions of the Rikuto.

She knew that this junior brother from the Rikuto was far more powerful than herself, and his abilities were unfathomable.

The advice given is usually pretty good.

"Senior Sister Shizune, let's begin!" Rikuto said with a smile, looking at Shizune, who was wearing the summer clothes he had bought, a rather bold style that was completely different from her usual conservative look, making her look beautiful and lovely.

"Um..."

Shizune blushed slightly and nodded gently.

"Oh right, besides here..."

Rikuto's eyes were filled with a smile.

He pointed to the Shizune in front of him that was already taking shape.

She smiled and said, "Other aspects also need to be adjusted comprehensively, otherwise the proportions will be unbalanced, which wouldn't be good..."

"Huh? This..."

Hearing Rikuto say that...

Shizune froze, her pretty face flushing red.

She hadn't initially anticipated so many twists and turns; she just thought that the area could be made bigger.

Overwhelmed with shyness, she stammered, "Then... then I'll leave it to you, Rikuto!"

In this way.

It was inevitable for her.

They have more intimate contact with each other.

However, if it were a Rikuto...

It's not that she can't accept it!

"Don't worry about leaving it to me, your junior brother!"

Rikuto patted his chest.

He was kind-hearted and possessed the compassion of a healer.

Such matters are always a matter of duty that cannot be shirked.

"Then, let's begin the training of the Yin Seal and the Strength of a Hundred Technique... the Spirit Transformation Technique!"

Soon--

Rikuto directly used the Spirit Transformation Technique.

It entered the Shizune body and took over its functions.

He demonstrated the Yin Seal and the Strength of a Hundred Technique to this senior sister again and again.

Then, he began to demonstrate the Mysterious Peacock Method to her, and taught her the specific cultivation methods and key points to pay attention to.

From the initial activation of Chakra, to the materialization and representation of Chakra...

Time passed.

Until 11 p. m.

Shizune, she staggered, feeling weak and powerless.

Her face flushed red, she fled Rikuto's room as if escaping.

The woman performing the exorcism ritual looked around nervously, afraid of being seen.

He even used his newly acquired Kekkei Genkai, Swift Release.

He ran back to his room immediately.

I carefully opened the door and saw that Karin was already asleep.

Shizune breathed a sigh of relief and quickly found a set of clothes and ran to the bathroom.

"That Rikuto is so wicked, how could he do that!"

She wanted to cry but couldn't.

She squatted there, covering her face.

So ashamed she wanted to disappear, her face flushed crimson. "I'm doomed, I can't face anyone now..."

And at this moment--

Inside Rikuto's room...

I watched as the Shizune fled as if it were escaping.

"My senior sister is... absolutely stunning!"
