Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

In an unnamed valley, on a verdant cliff, a mountain spring seeps out from a crack in the rock, filling a small pond surrounded by lush grass and lush shrubs.

Beside the pond, on a gray-blue rock three meters square, Kato Makoto and Tsunade sat with their palms facing each other, their eyes closed, and did not move.

Sometimes a breeze blew, and when it hit the clothes of the two men, the airflow stopped in an instant, and the natural energy that came with the wind was sucked into their bodies, causing them to experience a level of change that had never happened in the ninja world before.

After a long time, Tsunade slowly opened her eyes, and her beautiful eyes were shining with light. When she looked at Kato Makoto, there was surprise, confusion, and more of disbelief.

She was about to ask, but Kato Makoto sealed her lips with a finger and tapped her collarbone with his thumb, forcing Tsunade to swallow the semen in her mouth.

The blonde princess only felt a warm current falling from her throat, passing through the meridians, and going straight into the dantian mentioned in the scriptures, turning into another kind of energy different from the fairy chakra.

A thing called true qi.

When the true Qi sank and stabilized, the light in her eyes became restrained, and she realized that her head was dizzy and her mind was confused. She wanted to ask something but forgot the idea.

"It takes a hundred days to build the foundation. We are lucky. There is still a long way to go. There is no need to rush."

Makoto Kato held the weak body in his arms.

These days, he guided Tsunade in learning the technique for the first time, and she enjoyed it very much.

The blonde princess also became addicted to cultivation. The pleasure of life evolution was several levels higher than the physiological stimulation of hormone secretion by the body.

Fortunately, Kato Makoto is an old hand who has done this before. Whenever Tsunade is not in good spirits, he stops in time to prevent her from damaging her foundation.

"What exactly is the true qi mentioned in the Biyao Treasure Book?"

Princess Tsunade lay in his arms, her tone lazy, just like her body, as if she had no bones and was very soft.

"Qi is the essence of the operation of all things in the world. True Qi is the Qi of heaven and earth that a living being can grasp when it abandons the confusion of the five senses, forgets the perception of sound, shape, taste, and texture, and sinks into heaven and earth with its true spirit and true nature."

Makoto Kato briefly explained the innate true qi that Tsunade practiced, and there is also an acquired true qi that starts with the essence of the physical body.

Since he possessed a sage body, he took Tsunade and skipped this step, so it was not explained.

"It's very similar to Senjutsu Chakra?"

Tsunade regained some of her spirit, her eyes went from narrowed to half open, and her slender jade fingers hooked up Kato Makoto's silver hair and made it into circles.

"Chakra is only taken, not replenished. The body is constantly depleted, which is a kind of energy that is exhausted. True Qi is mainly for replenishment, and use is secondary. The two are not the same."

This is the reason why Kato Makoto has never dared to refine chakra too much.

I don't know what the Six Paths Sage, who founded the Ninja Clan, was thinking. He only has refining techniques but no health-preserving techniques. It's no different from chronic suicide.

It's really strange that someone with the power of a shadow who can split water and break mountains cannot live long.

However, he doesn't have to worry about the chakra issue now.

The mature immortal body seems to be the innate Taoist body of the ninja world. It can seize the essence of heaven and earth, and invading the mysteries of the sun and the moon becomes as easy as drinking water, and the natural energy is inexhaustible.

With the help of Tsunade, his immortal Taoist partner, he cultivated the Yin-Yang Qi roots described in the opening chapter of "The Great Joy of the Intercourse of Yin and Yang between Heaven and Earth".

After just a few days, he transformed all his chakras, skipped the Qi training stage, and went straight into the foundation-building stage. He walked back to his old path, and his cultivation improved by leaps and bounds.

With the Qi root as his foundation, he doesn't have to worry about the harm of mixed Qi. He can unlock the power of the third level of curse on Nono and the others and lead them into the door.

Apart from that, he hasn't sensed any breath of disaster yet, which makes him both worried and happy.

Is there no disaster in this world?

"Yeah, it's definitely different from Chakra. The more I practice, the more addicted I become. I don't even want to go back."

Tsunade seemed to be more energetic. She hooked her arms behind Kato Makoto's head, with a blush on her mature and charming face.

The temptation of the blonde princess was too hard to resist. Fortunately, Kato Makoto still had some sense and sensed that Terai was approaching rapidly, so he whispered the news into Tsunade's ear.

The latter jumped off him like a cat that was caught stealing food, quickly tidied her clothes, sat on the edge of the stone, and resumed her dignity as the head princess of the Senju family.

But in a moment, Terai's figure appeared in the sight of Kato Makoto and Tsunade. He instantly landed on the edge of the cliff, and then quickly came to their side.

"Master Makoto, Master Tsunade, an urgent delivery from Master Hokage and Master Danzo."

Kato Makoto took the scroll that was handed to him, moved his eyes left and right, read ten lines at a glance, and after reading it, he handed it to Tsunade who was standing beside him.

"Yakura has no memory and is bringing Kirigakure here to die again?"

Princess Tsunade, who had a rosy face just now, now had a murderous look in her eyes and exuded heroic spirit when she talked about serious matters.

"Since you've become a perfect Jinchūriki, it's normal for you to be more ambitious."

Getting up from the stone, Kato Makoto helped Tsunade up and looked towards the direction of the village.

"I've been out for so many days, it's time to go back."

In Konoha, when Kato Makoto brought Tsunade and his subordinates back to the village, a combat force of a thousand people had already been assembled.

Half of the troops were brought back from foreign garrisons, and the other half were injured in the war, missing the opportunity to become part of the garrison of the four major countries, and remained in the village.

Originally they were waiting for news of garrison rotation so that they could go out and earn some extra money.

While in the hospital, they had heard several versions of the story.

Those ninjas who were stationed abroad, some of whom were injured and transferred back for treatment, described the beautiful life abroad in vivid detail.

Some people say that every day there are businessmen from other countries coming to the outside of the camp to build relationships, hoping to invite Konoha's ninjas to jointly run a trading company, do cross-border business, and give them shares for free.

There was also a local lord who invited a Jonin to be his guest, and he was so busy that he didn't come back until the next morning.

Some people also said that there was no need for jonin, as chuunin and genin would not have to worry about food and drink when they got there, as there were plenty of people to invite them...

Anyway, the colorful days are waving to them, and few of them are not moved.

But before they could find an opportunity to be stationed abroad, the war call came first.

There is going to be another war. When it comes to this topic, everyone who just came out of the hospital begins to sigh.

"How come this group of people has become like this in just a few months?"

In the Hokage's office, Kato Makoto looked through the glass window at the listless and lazy ninjas outside and frowned.

"Speaking of which, the source of all this is still you..."

Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze showed a strange smile on his face and told him the news he had heard from the hospital.

"Oh, the benefits reserved for them have become a stumbling block to their growth. It seems that I am too tolerant."

Kato Makoto was thinking about how to bring the ninja, whose mind was corrupted by interests and gradually turned into a coward, back to the right path.

Behind him, Ino, Shika and Chou, who were urgently called back by Minato, had awkward smiles on their faces.

After all, they were the first generation of garrison commanders, and the decline in the combat effectiveness of the garrison ninjas was closely related to them.

"Lord Cheng, we can consider the issue of garrisoning troops later. The most important issue now is the invasion of Kirigakure."

The one who was speaking was Nara Shikaku. The two good friends beside him were constantly exchanged glances, asking Konoha's genius military strategist to quickly divert their boss' attention.
