Anko's Intuition, Yugao Blooms!

Rikuto, accompanied by the Moegi, appeared in the Land of Whirlpools.

"Brother Rikuto, where is this?"

At the beginning.

Moegi was full of surprise.

But then, his eyes lit up.

Staring in awe at the fairytale-like scene, filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers. "Wow! So beautiful!!"

"Eh? Rikuto..." Tsunade, who was enjoying the sea breeze, looked at Rikuto in surprise.

I noticed the Moegi.

Somewhat curious, he asked, "Who is this little rascal?"

"Sister Tsunade..." Rikuto introduced with a smile, "She's my cousin, Moegi Kazamatsuri, and also a descendant of the Senju..."

Without him saying anything, Tsunade had already sensed the presence of Wood Release and Senju Chakra from the other person, but she couldn't confirm whether he was a true member of the Senju clan.

After all, the Rikuto are capable of easily cultivating Devil Fruits that grant individuals the Wood Release and Senju bloodline.

"So that's how it is..."

Tsunade suddenly realized. "The Kazamatsuri Family... are they also descendants of Tōka?"

"Are you Lady Tsunade?"

Moegi stared wide-eyed at Tsunade in front of her.

His eyes shone with a diamond-shaped light, filled with adoration.

Although her mother, Kazamatsuri Reiko, was just an ordinary person, she was also a fan of Tsunade.

From a young age, she taught her daughter, Moegi Kazamatsuri, to take Tsunade as her Tsunade and become a great female ninja in the future.

Therefore, the little guy has always regarded Tsunade as his idol.

"What an adorable little girl..."

Tsunade smiled.

He stepped forward, picked up Moegi Kazamatsuri, and pinched the little girl's delicate, porcelain-like face.

Looking at Rikuto, he chuckled lightly, a hint of annoyance in his voice, "But you're really planning to train a bunch of experts with Wood Release, aren't you?"

"That's not quite right. Only those who are also descendants of the Senju receive such treatment..."

Rikuto smiled and said, "I won't do anything reckless!"

He certainly wasn't planning to casually bestow Wood Release power upon others.

Ultimately, it is people who are truly powerful.

He possessed immense Chakra and Chakra control, as well as the cultivation resources he controlled.

With that series of Ninjutsu, Secret Techniques, and even Forbidden Techniques, even without Kekkei Genkai like Wood Release, he would still be incredibly powerful.

Up to now.

He was given Wood Release.

Aside from Tsunade, the Princess of Konoha, only Moegi Kazamatsuri (bccf) is a descendant of the Senju Clan.

The descendants of the Uchiha, all with Kaleidoscope Sharingan, piloting Mangekyō and showing off everywhere.

Both are descendants of the Senju.

Let's keep a low profile.

Is it too much to say that everyone uses Wood Release?

"Among those in Konoha, how many others have you taken a liking to?"

"Tsunade asked."

She would naturally be delighted if the Senju Clan could be revived.

Although the Senju Clan has assimilated into Konoha, most of them have largely become ordinary citizens, their former selves forgotten.

Rikuto's case is a very rare example of atavism, and he is a true genius.

She believed that Rikuto didn't have the time to bother with those mediocre people.

This guy doesn't really care that much about his family.

"Not many, just one or two besides Moegi!"

Rikuto chuckled softly.

He's very picky.

Only those who catch his eye are qualified to be called descendants of the Senju.

Moreover, if his senses weren't wrong back in the Ninja Academy...

It seems that Ino's best friend, Sakura Haruno, also has some Senju blood.

However, compared to him and Moegi, his bloodline is relatively thin, belonging to a collateral branch within a collateral branch.

In the original timeline, Tsunade agreed to his request to become her disciple and took him in as her last student, which is probably related to this.

If you think that if a genin with decent Chakra control were to Genin approach you in Konoha and ask to become your disciple, the Fifth Hokage would simply agree to accept him as a student.

That would be far too naive.

It lacks that faint trace of the Senju lineage.

Even considering that Naruto, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, is Sakura Haruno's teammate and has a good relationship...

Tsunade probably wouldn't agree to take him as a disciple so readily without even a proper test.

It would be good enough if they could offer even a little guidance.

"From now on, I'll have to ask Sister Tsunade to guide this girl for the next two days..." Rikuto said to Tsunade, "So that she doesn't fail to perfectly control her power and accidentally hurt others around her!"

He certainly didn't want Tsunade to take him as a disciple.

There's no need for that.

After all, not everyone is suited to be medical-nin.

Furthermore, he could teach Wood Release Ninjutsu and other Ninjutsu himself.

It only takes Tsukuyomi to complete.

"All right!"

Tsunade nodded.

Although Wood Release is indeed very powerful.

But considering that the girl is only five or six years old...

If one's abilities get out of control, it could indeed cause considerable trouble.

"Really? That's great..."

Three months in the Tsukuyomi World.

Moegi is no longer clueless.

For a moment, he was filled with excitement. "Lady Tsunade, please guide me!"

"I'm very strict!"

Tsunade pinched the little girl's cheek and said with a smile.

"Yes!"

Chapter 220 Anko's Intuition, Yugao Blooms!

And at this moment--

Downstairs at Chiya's house.

Kurenai Yuhi and Anko, who had just returned from a mission, happened to run into Shizune and Karin, who were just returning from the Hokage Building...

The girls were staring at each other, wide-eyed.

"Sister Kurenai..."

Karin blinked.

She completely ignored Anko, her "love rival."

"Red Anko, hello..."

Shizune, of course, recognized Kurenai Yuhi and Anko, and greeted them with a smile.

Moreover, after Karin returned to the Land of Hot Water and reunited with them after her last vacation, she had reported on the Rikuto.

In particular, she could sense the astonishing Chakra within the two women.

She confirmed it immediately.

The intimate relationship between the two women and Rikuto.

I just don't know exactly how far along it has progressed.

"Karin... Shizune, you're back?"

She smiled and nodded at Karin.

Kurenai Yuhi was astonished as she stared at the Shizune before her.

Shizune and she were classmates at the Ninja Academy, and the two were once very good friends.

Naturally, they wouldn't feel too awkward.

"Yes..."

Shizune nodded gently and said with a smile, "From now on, please take care of me, Red!"

"Are you planning to come back?"

Kurenai Yuhi looked somewhat surprised.

I understood the meaning behind the Shizune words.

Unexpectedly, the other party returned to Konoha at this time.

"Yes, Sister Kurenai..."

Karin still has a very good impression of Kurenai Yuhi.

Without keeping her in suspense, she said with a smile, "Lady Tsunade has finished her journey, and Sister Shizune and I are planning to stay in the village!"

"So that's how it is..."

Anko and Kurenai Yuhi suddenly realized.

"But only we're coming back; Lady Tsunade doesn't plan to!"

Holding Tonton, Shizune added a sentence.

"Welcome back, Shizune..."

Kurenai Yuhi smiled slightly.

Anko, in a very familiar manner, put her arm around Shizune's shoulder and teased the Tonton in her arms, "Hehe, speaking of which, we seem to be from the same sect!"

"As disciples of the legendary 'Sannin,' Shizune, your teacher is Tsunade, and mine is Orochimaru. We should get together more often in the future..."

"..."

Shizune.

Orochimaru is a fearsome S-rank missing-nin.

It seems that this girl has truly emerged from the shadows of the past.

They no longer cared about Orochimaru at all.

"That familiar scent... Oh no, I've got another sister!"
