Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Summer evenings are often accompanied by a bit of heat.

It makes it difficult for one to calm down.

But today's dusk was extremely muggy.

It makes people feel somewhat dull, uncomfortable, and depressed.

Meanwhile, Shirokumo Aoba was developing her bloodline limit in a forest on the outskirts of the village.

Tsunade was there giving him pointers.

A few months ago, Baiyun Qingye finally got lucky in a gacha pull, drawing a Bloodline Limit that is considered a Tier 1 reward in the SSR tier.

—Wood Release!

Of course, it's the three-bedroom, two-living-room version of the Yamato.

However, the current Baiyun Qingye cannot even achieve the effect of a three-bedroom, two-living room apartment.

To reach the level of Hashirama Senju, one would probably need to extract the Sage Body from UR.

When we have enough chakra, let alone a three-bedroom, two-living-room house, we could even create a new Konoha.

After drawing the card, Shirokumo Aoba did not hide the fact that he had awakened Wood Release from Tsunade. In fact, he only dared to tell Tsunade about it in the entire village of Konoha.

Because he knew that although Tsunade was usually stubborn and arrogant, she wouldn't harm him.

But if others find out and it gets to Danzo's ears, he'll probably be secretly taken away for dissection and research.

"Wood Release: Wood Clone!"

Baiyun Qingye quickly formed hand seals.

Immediately afterwards, a large amount of woody hairs suddenly grew from his body, then gathered, condensed, and changed around him.

It eventually became a smaller version of White Cloud Green Leaf.

The two figures, one large and one small, made of white clouds and green leaves, looked at each other and blinked.

This gave him a headache.

Why is it so small this time?

"Not bad, the quality of this wooden clone is very high. There are no flaws in its appearance. If I don't examine it carefully, I can't even tell that it's a clone."

"As for why it's so small, it's probably because you've consumed too much chakra."

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction, a smile involuntarily appearing on her face.

He walked up to Bai Yunqingye, patted his head, and looked at him with encouragement in his eyes.

"It's okay, little rascal. He's small and cute."

!!!

Bai Yunqingye's face flushed slightly. He felt as if he had been mocked, yet he had no way to refute the other party.

Although he knew Tsunade was referring to the Wood Clone, he still felt a sense of being looked down upon.

Looking at Shirakumo Aoba and Hong Wen, Tsunade's smile grew increasingly difficult to contain.

A few months ago, when the other party told her that he had suddenly awakened Wood Release, she was startled and thought that the kid was dreaming and had fooled her.

She didn't believe it until she saw the piece of wood being held out of the other person's hand.

She also investigated Bai Yun Qingye's family situation in detail. The investigation revealed that Bai Yun Yeshan and Bai Yun Qingye's father, the two brothers, were just ordinary commoner orphans.

At first, their strength was not outstanding. It was only after Shirokumo Hayama mastered the Vacuum Sword and Konoha Body Flicker that he gradually gained the strength of a Jonin.

However, this kid's mother does indeed have some of the Senju clan's bloodline.

However, it's a very distant relationship, dating back to before the founding of Konoha.

This initially frustrated Tsunade.

If even someone from such a distant Senju bloodline can awaken Wood Release, why can't she, a direct relative, do the same?

"Teacher, are we going back now?"

Baiyun Qingye glanced at the sky; the sun was about to set.

Tsunade nodded. "That's enough for today's practice. Now that you've mastered Transformation, Wood Substitution, and Wood Clone, I'll teach you some other simple Wood Release ninjutsu next time."

Shirokumo Aoba didn't have much time to practice Wood Release because he had to ensure he wouldn't be exposed.

Wood Release holds extraordinary significance for Konoha. She was somewhat worried about the old folks in the village, but mainly she was on guard against Danzo Shimura, that old fox.

Who knows what he might do to Bai Yun Qingye while she's away?

Therefore, if Shirokumo Aoba wanted to practice Wood Release, she would bring him to the forest and set up a barrier to block his senses.

She knew that the lecherous old man had a disgusting ninjutsu called the Telescope Technique.

According to Jiraiya, it seems to have been specially developed by the other party for spying on women's bathhouses.

She also planned to wait until Shirokumo Aoba had the ability to protect himself before sending the news of his Wood Release to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Moreover, as long as he masters everything she teaches him, he should be able to protect himself.

It won't be long.

Tsunade walked up to Shirakumo Aoba, then squatted down and looked at him.

"Can you still walk?"

Her voice at this moment was less arrogant and more caring.

"It's a bit difficult."

Shirokumo Aoba shook his head helplessly, glanced at Tsunade, and then couldn't help but look away.

It felt a bit dazzling.

Tsunade's pose made her already extraordinary figure even more curvaceous.

"Hehe, getting shy now?"

Tsunade patted Shirokumo Aoba's head again, her face full of smiles.

After she had finished touching him, she turned around, her back to Bai Yunqingye, and said.

"Come on, I'll carry you back."

Bai Yunqingye looked at the millstone in front of her and pressed it down without hesitation.

He was used to it, because practicing Wood Release would consume a lot of chakra.

Every time he was completely drained, his legs would go weak and he wouldn't have any strength, so Tsunade would carry him back.

However, compared to his peers, he has been doing very well for a long time.

"Once you learn the Yin Seal and accumulate enough chakra, you will be able to avoid this situation."

Tsunade said with a smile.

"Is the Yin Seal really that magical?"

Baiyun Qingye asked a very supportive question.

Tsunade couldn't help but raise her chin, her expression smug.

"As long as the Yin Seal is present, you can not only maintain your youthful appearance and improve your physical functions, but also keep your body in peak condition anytime and anywhere."

Bai Yunqing blinked and suddenly asked.

"Anytime, anywhere?"

Yes, anytime, anywhere!

"Anytime?"

"That's right, anytime!"

"..."

A rather unhealthy idea suddenly popped into his head.

boom!

Just as the two were chatting, an explosion suddenly rang out.

Both of them looked in the same direction, where a large flock of crows took flight.

"Is this commotion a sign that someone is making a move inside the village?"

Tsunade's expression turned serious. Besides the explosion, she also sensed a terrifying burst of chakra.

"Teacher, shall we go take a look?"

Baiyun Qingye asked.

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, but quickly made her choice.

"Qingye, if you start fighting later, remember to hold me tight."

This is, after all, her village.

"it is good!"

Shirokumo Aoba tightened her grip on Tsunade's neck.

Tsunade immediately changed direction and sped towards the location of the explosion.
