Special Training Month

"It's very hard!"

Tsunade said firmly.

This is her deepest impression of Yang Xiang.

Rope Tree chimed in from the side, patting his chest and giving a thumbs up:

"Humerus!"

This reflects his high expectations for Yang Xiang.

Mito Uzumaki, at a loss with the siblings, turned to Tsunade and said:

"Yang Xiang is a good kid, and he's quite talented. We can get to know him better in the future."

Tsunade was not young anymore, so she naturally understood her grandmother's unspoken meaning and became troubled.

A relationship between an older woman and a younger man? She has absolutely no interest in that.

She prefers the gentle and handsome type.

Besides, she already had someone in her heart, her teammate.

But since he hasn't confessed his feelings to her yet, it doesn't seem quite right to say it now...

Tsunade fell into deep thought, her face flushing red and then turning pale.

Rope Tree stood nearby, its eyes darting around.

Who?

Yang Xiang?

With my sister?

What should I do? How am I supposed to get along with this guy in the future?

I object to this marriage!

A sword beam sliced ​​through the air, striking the glazed surface and leaving a smooth cut.

Yang Xiang slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

The Azure Origin Sword Technique is complete.

He has also mastered the Azure Origin Sword Aura, which will become another killing move for him in the future.

His cultivation level dropped slightly due to the change in cultivation method, but this was nothing for someone with his Heavenly Spiritual Root aptitude, and he could recover quickly.

That will be the day he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The Thousand Hands Clan's territory has been exceptionally lively this past month.

The old man, Masakazu, was responsible for activating the barrier every day and even wrote a special report entitled "Repair Report of the Thousand-Handed Buddha Hall Barrier" to submit to the Hokage.

I was afraid of scaring someone into something bad.

A group of little kids would hide in the bushes every day, sticking their butts out and cheering for Brother Rope Tree.

No one questions Yang Xiang's leadership position anymore, but his faction remains divided, and they often fight after training.

One group believes that Rope Tree's repeated challenges show he can't accept defeat;

Another group believes that he represents the unwavering will of fire.

The two sides are evenly matched.

Yang Xiang, a genius Senju who possessed Jonin-level strength upon graduation, failed to reveal a single clue amidst the children's boasting and the parents' collective silence.

Rope Tree has made great progress in this month's special training.

He's moving incredibly fast now.

At the slightest disturbance, muscle memory kicks in instantly: dodge laterally, dodge vertically, dodge in anticipation...

The unprinted gesture has become a standard practice, and the Substitute Technique is always ready to be used.

At an age when others have their hands in their pockets, Nawaki has already learned to constantly perform hand seals, which is quite impressive.

After all, Yang Xiang's big punch wasn't easy to catch.

It can't be stopped, it's simply impossible to stop it.

Just one touch and you'll instantly experience a baby-like sleep, only to be awakened a moment later by warm Yang-attribute chakra, ready to face the next slap.

For the first few days, he was not convinced and tried various ways to defend himself, but he quickly learned to follow his heart.

At first, Tsunade saw that her younger brother had bruises and swelling on his face every day, so she came to Yang Xiang to demand an explanation.

Until one day, Nawaki saw her older sister cover her face and hurriedly leave...

He realized that no one could save him.

Yang Xiang was also quite satisfied with the training results.

To dodge, you first need to be mindful, and then you need to react.

Even if your reaction time isn't fast enough, you can still do it if you keep your hands on the keys.

After a month, Rope Tree was able to withstand his attacks for ten minutes.

Yang Xiang himself also gained a lot.

He became increasingly skilled at adjusting the angle and force of his slaps.

This move is really not convenient to practice with my grandmother...

"You've completed your apprenticeship."

Yang Xiang patted Sheng Shu on the shoulder and said.

When Yang Xiang reached out, Rope Tree used almost all his strength to suppress his body's natural reaction.

At that moment, his eyes welled up with tears, and he almost cried.

For the past month, he has been unable to live like a normal person.

He's become too sensitive.

The slightest disturbance would cause him to subconsciously form hand seals.

Now, even girls are afraid to approach him and talk to him.

It wasn't until he walked home in a daze that he realized how quickly a month had passed.

Snapped!

The door was suddenly pulled open from the outside, and Rope Tree trembled in fright.

"Rope Tree! Huh?"

Tsunade opened the door and saw a cloud of smoke explode and a piece of wood fall from the sky.

Turning his head again, Rope Tree had already stepped half a foot over the courtyard wall.

The siblings sat down again in the room, their faces growing increasingly somber.

"Rope Tree, you must take back everything that belongs to you through your own strength!"

Tsunade clenched her fist and waved it forcefully in front of Nawaki.

The king, driven out of his tribe, must reclaim his throne with his own hands!

This is the lesson she learned after being slapped by Yang Xiang: she is just his older sister and cannot always stand up for him.

Rope Tree: ?

Tsunade reached down and pressed down, her face saying, "I know."

"It's alright, I've found you a good teacher. Become his disciple, and you'll definitely be able to defeat that brat!"

Tsunade became more and more smug as she spoke, as if she could already see the Senju children calling Nawaki "boss" again.

Overcome strength with gentleness.

This is what Sarutobi-sensei taught her.

To deal with Yang Xiang, a fierce opponent like herself, she went to great lengths to bring in the gentlest person she knew.

Someone gently knocked on the door frame.

"Nagaki-kun, please take care of me from now on."

Orochimaru calmly sat down beside the two.

In fact, he was not against taking Sheng Shu as his apprentice.

As the younger brother of a close friend, this is undoubtedly a good opportunity to deepen their bond.

However, he found it quite amusing that Tsunade was pouting and then pulling out a large stack of sweet chestnut gift certificates to beg him to come out of seclusion.

"I heard that Nawaki-kun has an opponent he must defeat?"

Rope Tree was a little confused by her sister's series of actions.

What's wrong with you?

Who will we defeat?

Defeat Yang Xiang?

me?

He scratched his head: "Winning is too exaggerated... I'm still far from that level."

Orochimaru smiled slightly as he looked at Nawaki's listless appearance.

This became his first lesson as a teacher: he had to inspire his students' spirits.

"Haven't you always wanted to be Hokage? You can't become Hokage if you're weaker than others."

After hearing this, Rope Tree looked up in surprise:

"Huh? How did Sarutobi become Grandpa?"

With just one sentence, Orochimaru was rendered speechless.

That's enough for now, brother.

If Yang Xiang were there, he would probably be laughing smugly.

In the past month, he did more than just slap people.

Ideological education was also not neglected.

The concept of rope trees must be subtly reshaped.

Only in this way can he become the kind of Hokage the Senju family hopes for in the future.

Orochimaru gently licked his lips.

This is troublesome.

Has the fear of the enemy so profound that it has shaken the Will of Fire...?

This is no longer just an ordinary rival.

We have to strike hard.

"From today onwards, I will teach you, Rope Tree."

Without mentioning that Nawaki started learning "Gentle Fist" from Orochimaru.

Yang Xiang, on the other side, was also called to Tao Hua's side.

"I've arranged a squad for you. It's time to go out and carry out a mission, son."

He took the scroll from Momoka and opened it; it read:

Jonin Uchiha Kagami.

Genin Kurama Murakumo.

Genin Uchiha Mikoto.
