The Strongest Technician of Konoha

Chapter 176
Xuan Yu leaned against the wooden wall, raised her head, and looked at the hazy moonlight in the night sky through the thick white mist, with a rare look of nostalgia on her face.

"I don't know, maybe there is."

"Let me tell you." There was obvious dissatisfaction in Tsunade's voice: "Can you not be so ambiguous in your words, if you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it, such a simple question, there is no need to hide anything, right?"

Xuan Yu shrugged.

"It's not that I want to hide anything. I just don't know how to answer you. After all, I have never thought about this question. Besides, risking my life is not something that can be said casually."

"Anyone can make a decision. As long as you put aside all concerns, you can say whatever you want, but what is the meaning of such empty words? Only when you really encounter that kind of situation can you understand what is the most important thing. How far I can do for it, the instinctive reaction can reflect the truest appearance of a person, isn't it?"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of pouring wine came from behind again.

"Are you?"

Tsunade said something inexplicable.

"Yes." Xuan Yu yawned and asked, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"

"You don't look like a young man."

"no."

Xuan Yu looked at his hands, and then at himself reflected in the hot spring, um, very tender, a piece of fresh meat.

"I looked up, down, left, and right. No matter how I looked at it, he was a handsome young man who had just debuted as an adult."

Tsunade:"."

After a while, there was a cough over there, and then he said, "I don't mean the outside."

After a pause, she continued: "You are so talented, why do you know so many things that you shouldn't know at your age? Besides, you seem to be able to see through many things, um. How should I put it, I always feel that you Looks like her actual age is older than me."

Simply put, it is too mature.

Among her peers, whether it is Jiraiya or Orochimaru, although they are very reliable in strength and are companions who can rely on their backs, their minds cannot be said to be very mature, at least they are definitely not as good as this person named Uesugi Xuanyu, Young people who are six or seven years younger than them.

A look of surprise flashed in the corner of Xuan Yu's eyes.

Tsk tsk, is this the so-called sixth sense of a woman?Pretty accurate
Of course his actual age is more than that. After all, he has been in this ninja world for more than six years. Strictly speaking, he is older than Tsunade, but only he knows this kind of thing.

"It's just that I have experienced more things." Xuan Yu said lightly: "Age and so on can never be used as a basis for evaluating a person, can it?"

Tsunade laughed lightly.

"That's what he said."

Hearing the sound of drinking over there, Xuan Yu inexplicably wanted to have a drink or two. After all, just soaking in the hot springs was really boring, so I wanted to take a nap for a while, and Tsunade talked to him from time to time.

"That is to say, when you risk your life to protect someone, that person is very important to you, isn't it?"

Hearing this, Xuan Yu's mind inexplicably recalled the scene when he tried his best to save Izumi when he was in the country of Yi six years ago, and then recalled that when he purified the root for the first time four years ago, Izumi tried his best to protect the people in the purification. A picture of myself unable to move during the process.

After a moment, he shook his head.

"Well, so to speak."

This time he didn't answer ambiguously.

Tsunade was not used to him being so straightforward all of a sudden, and then she seemed to be choked by the wine and coughed twice.

"Hehe, I suddenly want to see how you work hard for others."

Hearing this, Xuan Yu couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

"Master Tsunade, I shouldn't have offended you, have I?"

Can't you expect me to order well?
Tsunade did not respond to this topic, and after a while, she said again: "Speaking of which, you seem to attach great importance to the mission of your Uesugi clan, in order to complete the mission, you will do your best, even if you sacrifice your life? "

"You are wrong about that."

Unexpectedly, Xuan Yu denied Tsunade's statement.

"Eh?"

Tsunade was a little taken aback.

"Although it is my mission to eliminate the mutation, I will only do my best to do what I can. If it is really impossible, I will give up and protect myself. After all, I can still bear the occasional failure. Yes, so, unless it is absolutely necessary, I will not do what you said."

Hearing this, Tsunade suddenly understood.

Although Xuan Yu will be desperate for important people, but will not give everything in order to complete the mission.

These words gave her a more intuitive understanding of Xuan Yu.

"Uesugi Xuanyu, can you tell me a little bit about you and Uchiha Izumi."

Tsunade brought up another topic.

"I'm curious what happened between you and her to develop such a strange relationship now."

"Huh?" Xuan Yu asked, "Does my relationship with Quan seem strange?"

Tsunade couldn't see his expression, and when he heard him say that, he continued, "Well, you and her are obviously not lovers, but you have a tacit understanding and intimacy that even lovers don't necessarily have, no matter how you look at it, it's strange. "

As she spoke, she seemed to realize something, and added: "Of course, I didn't mean to inquire about your private affairs. If it's inconvenient, forget it. For chatting, just pick up some irrelevant things and talk about it."

"It's not inconvenient." Xuanyu pondered for a moment, thought for a while, and then said slowly: "Okay, since Tsunade-sama is interested, then I'll talk a little bit about it."

The mission of the Land of Waves ended without any risk.

Until the bridge was opened to traffic, Naruto and the others didn’t find any trace of Zabuzhan, and they didn’t know if Izumi made a move secretly. When the bridge was about to be built, only Kado came to make trouble with a group of ronin gangsters and mercenaries. , the result was naturally solved by Naruto easily.

And although since that natural disaster, there have been occasional rainstorms during this period of time, and then one or two thunderbolts have fallen, and they have struck towards Naruto in a regular manner, but both the power and the speed are weaker than those terrifying thunderstorms at the beginning. It gets weaker as it goes to the back, and Naruto can handle it with Fengdun.

But even so, just in case, Quan still didn't leave, and hid in the dark to protect Naruto, a young man who was equivalent to her younger brother.

On the second day after the bridge was opened to traffic, after saying goodbye to the grateful people of Nanamura, the group set off on their way home.

On the way, Sakura glanced at Izumi not far away, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking Naruto, who was frowning and thinking about something:

"Hey, Naruto, do you and Izumi-sama often practice sparring like we did in the valley?"
