Chapter 87: Water Style of the Second Hokage
Chapter 87: Water Style of the Second Hokage (nd update)
"Why are you guys chatting again? I still don't understand the situation."
Sarah couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two and asked, "Why do you want to protect me?"
"Your Majesty, haven't you thought about the reason why you fell down the stairs?"
Hanekawa reminded.
Sarah was slightly startled, then she remembered that someone had pushed her.
But at that time, she only had puppets behind her, and the only one who could control the puppets was An Lushan.
"impossible!"
Sarah showed an incredible expression on her face, "How could Uncle An Lushan lie to me?!"
Uncle, you are all bad guys, only thinking about making money, oh no, unifying the ninja world.
Just as Hanekawa was about to speak, he heard footsteps.
"We've been discovered by the puppet!"
Xihihong's expression changed slightly.
As soon as she finished speaking, a group of puppets surrounded her.
Water Escape·Water Rush Wave!
Yuhi Kurenai clasped her hands together and a huge amount of chakra surged out.
In front of her, a tornado formed by water appeared out of thin air.
The water flow spread like a waterfall, covering all the puppets.
The powerful impact caused the puppets to fly backwards.
"let's go!"
Yuhi Kurenai grabbed Sarah and rushed out.
Instantaneous technique!
Hanekawa hurried to follow.
The sound of clicking kept sounding.
One third of the puppets survived Yuhi Kurenai's water escape, and they raised their hands.
The purple chakra was like sharp arrows, flying towards them at a rapid speed.
Water Escape·Water Formation Wall!
Xihihong turned her head and slapped the ground, and a wall of water floated up.
The purple chakra was blocked, but because of this delay, more puppets flew towards them.
"go there!"
At this moment, Tsunade flashed in front of Hanekawa.
She looked at the puppets and simply raised her legs.
My feet hurt!
An application of supernatural power.
With her as the center, the ground cracked and countless pieces of rubble flew away.
The nearest puppet was beaten into a sieve and turned into a pile of rotten iron.
The puppet in the distance was not spared either. It lost its balance and fell into the deep pit formed by the Painful Heaven's Foot.
"It's really the Hokage?!"
Xihi Kurenai's eyes widened involuntarily.
Could it be that after Tsunade gave them the mission, she has been following behind to protect them?
"Where did the Hokage come from? Who is this girl? Why have I never seen her before?"
Tsunade was confused, but the situation was urgent, so she didn't ask any more questions and just grabbed Hanekawa and ran away.
A moment later, the four men entered an extremely remote house.
The puppets were left behind by them and failed to keep up.
"Hokage-sama."
Kurenai Yuhi put Sarah down and walked up to Tsunade and saluted.
"...?"
Tsunade had a question mark on her face.
When did I usurp the throne? How come I didn't know?
"You wait here for us."
Hanekawa took Tsunade and went to the other side, leaving Kurenai Yuhi alone who was confused.
"what's the situation?"
Tsunade looked at Kurenai Yuhi from a distance and asked, "Is there something wrong with her?"
"Teacher, don't be afraid of what I'm about to say."
Hanekawa gave a warning first. After all, traveling through time and space sounded too incredible.
"I'm a ninja, I'm not afraid."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at him and said, "Stop being so mysterious and speak nonsense. Just tell me now."
"She is Yuhi Kurenai."
Hanekawa said seriously.
"Which Yuhi Kurenai?"
Tsunade asked, startled.
"Which other sunset red could there be?"
Hanekawa explained, "She is the daughter of Uncle Shinkuen."
"what?"
Tsunade looked at Kurenai Yuhi, then at Hanekawa, and said, "Come, let the teacher check it out."
"I'm not sick!"
Hanekawa shook his head helplessly and said, "She is the future Yuhi Kurenai, because the dragon vein traveled back to the past, which is our present."
"How about...I should check it out for you?"
Tsunade asked after a few seconds of silence.
"..."
Hanekawa grabbed her wrist and asked, "Don't you think she is just Kurenai Yuhi who has grown up? And she thinks you are the Hokage."
Tsunade couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Although what Hanekawa said was too outrageous, after a closer look, she does look like Yuhi Kurenai.
Did I really become the Hokage?
Tsunade suddenly felt strange. She clearly didn't want to be Hokage, so why did she become Hokage in the end?
Is it because of Hanekawa?
She suddenly remembered her birthday last year.
At that time, Hanekawa said that he would let her be the Fourth Hokage and he would be the Fifth Hokage.
"No matter what, let's do the task first."
Seeing that she couldn't accept it for a while, Hanekawa made a suggestion.
Tsunade nodded slightly.
"One more thing."
Hanekawa said in a serious tone, "In order to avoid problems caused by the intersection of time and space, we should try not to ask about things in the future."
"If what you said is true, then once the mission is completed, it would be best if we seal each other's memories."
Tsunade proposed the same method as Minato Namikaze in the original work.
"Let's go over there."
Hanekawa said, having no objection.
"I discussed it with the Queen, and she took us to see An Lushan and asked him about it in person."
Seeing them approach, Kurenai Yuhi asked, "Hokage-sama, what do you think?"
"Wait for Minato first."
Tsunade suppressed the strangeness in her heart and said.
The focus of this mission is the dragon vein, not the Queen of Loulan. Only by sealing the dragon vein can An Lushan be stopped.
Hanekawa also nodded.
He doesn't know sealing techniques. Although Tsunade knows sealing techniques, she hasn't learned much.
Only Minato Namikaze learned a lot of sealing techniques for the tailed beasts from Kushina Uzumaki.
Moreover, if the dragon vein is not sealed, Xiurihong and his future self may not be able to return, which will cause unpredictable dangers.
"Eh? Is Minato-senpai here too?"
Yuhi Kurenai asked in surprise.
Although Baizu is a jonin, his strength is just so-so, and it is not worth it for Konoha Village to mobilize such a terrible force.
"Do you have a way to connect with your teammates?"
Hanekawa changed the subject and asked, "I tried to contact him, but I didn't get a response."
Xi Ri Hong frowned and said with a puzzled look on her face, "It's as if... he is no longer in Loulan."
Not in Loulan?
Hanekawa thought of a possibility.
The crossing of dragon veins is not a fixed timeline.
In the original work, Centipede traveled through time with Uzumaki Naruto and the others, but Centipede was six years ahead of them.
Maybe in the future he traveled to another timeline.
Hanekawa was suddenly shocked.
He thought of the legend of the Six Paths Sage that he had seen, which was somewhat different from the original work.
If it were him, he would indeed change like that.
"Little brother, what's your name?"
While waiting, Yuhi Kurenai looked at Hanekawa curiously.
"Tell me first, what's your name?"
Hanekawa asked rhetorically.
"Yuhihong."
Yuhi Kurenai touched his head, smiling, and asked, "Can you tell me now?"
No, how did you learn to touch the head? Who taught you?
Hanekawa was not prepared, so he was unable to dodge her sudden attack.
He coughed lightly and used that trick again, which was to change the subject.
"Sister Hong."
Hanekawa smiled harmlessly and asked, "Your water jutsu is very powerful, can you teach me?"
Wow, that's so cute!
Xi Ri Hong's eyes couldn't help but light up.
She already liked Hanekawa, and now that she saw a little boy who looked similar to her when she was a child, she was naturally happy.
And he also calls me sister.
"can."
Yuhi Kurenai said with some pride, "In the village, my water jutsu is good enough to rank in the top five."
Top five?
There aren't many people in Konoha Village who can use water jutsu, right?
Hanekawa pulled her and said, "Let's go over there and spar."
He wanted to try to see if he could develop water escape talent from Xihi Kurenai.
Anyway, idle is idle.
"Hey, your name!"
Yuhi Kurenai reacted and shouted.
"Tachibana Taki."
Hanekawa made it up casually.
Xi Ri Hong was slightly startled.
She had never heard of this name, but she found that not only did she look like Hanekawa, but her personality was also similar.
Weird.
"Sister Hong."
Hanekawa made the Seal of Opposition and said, "Please use only Water Escape."
"Row."
Xihi Kurenai came back to her senses and said, "Be careful."
Water escape·Water chaos!
A large amount of water suddenly gushed out of her mouth, hitting Hanekawa like a waterfall.
Although it was a basic water-style ninjutsu, it produced tremendous power in her hands.
Instantaneous technique!
Hanekawa ran out without saying a word.
"The speed is good."
Yuhi Kurenai praised and her body disappeared from the spot.
She followed Hanekawa directly, a kunai in her hand.
Water Style: Water Blade Slash!
The kunai trembled slightly, and water gushed out, covering it.
Hanekawa drew his katana and blocked the kunai.
The huge force hit him, causing his arm to go numb and he was pushed back.
Xiurihong did not pursue the victory. She stood where she was, her eyes flickering.
Even the ninjutsu and swordsmanship he used were so similar to Hanekawa.
She put away her kunai and formed seals with her hands.
Water Style: Water Bullet!
She swung her hands and all the water flew out like a cannonball.
Instantaneous technique!
Hanekawa dodged quickly.
Xiurihong had already shown mercy, but the gap in strength was too big.
Moreover, Hanekawa discovered that the water jutsu she used all came from the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama.
Tsunade, who was watching the fight not far away, noticed it earlier than him.
She finally believed that what Hanekawa said was true.
If he didn't come from the future, how could there be another ninja who could use her second grandfather's water escape technique?
"do not fight!"
Hanekawa pulled away and said.
He had tried his best to fight back, even using his supernatural strength, but was blocked by her.
But his goal has been achieved.
Two lines of text appeared in front of his eyes.
[The effect of the D-level talent item 'A lot of water' has been upgraded. ]
[Water escape talent is increased by 100% on the original basis. 】
A one-time increase of 70% is a great victory.
This is also Hanekawa's third C-level talent after Yin Dun and Yang Dun.
"Little brother, you are really awesome."
Xi Ri Hong said meaningfully, "When I was your age, I was far inferior to you, but there is someone who is almost the same as you."
Has it been discovered?
Just as Hanekawa was about to speak, he sensed a distorted spatial fluctuation.
Xihi Kurenai immediately looked alert.
She didn't breathe a sigh of relief until Minato Namikaze appeared, but was soon shocked again.
Why does he feel so much younger?
Tsunade's appearance will not change because of the Yin Seal, but Minato Namikaze's will not.
At this moment, Xi Ri Hong's doubts reached the extreme.
"Minato-senpai."
Hanekawa pulled Minato Namikaze aside and told him about the current situation.
"Is that really the case?"
Minato Namikaze's ability to accept things was stronger than Tsunade's, and he quickly returned to normal.
"Minato-senpai, have you found the dragon vein?"
Hanekawa breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.
"It's under Loulan."
Namikaze Minato said hesitantly, "But there is a central position missing."
"As the queen of Loulan, Sarah should know where it is."
Hanekawa paused and said, "Let's go see An Lushan now."
"also."
Minato Namikaze agreed after a little thought.
He didn't believe that An Lushan alone could defeat him and Tsunade. Since that was the case, he would have to fight quickly and decisively.
Three thousand words.
