Chapter 192 Successors of the Hokage (Part and )

Nohara Lin couldn't stand the shyness anymore, so she took a few steps back, turned around and ran away.

Hanekawa looked at her figure and laughed.

No matter what, it always serves as a comfort.

Nothing happened during the night, the sun rose, and it was the next day.

February is between winter and spring, and the early mornings are not warm.

After Hanekawa got up and opened the tent, a gust of cold wind blew towards him.

"Morning... good morning."

When Nohara Lin saw him, her face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and greeted him in a low voice.

"Sensei and Hong haven't gotten up yet?"

Hanekawa walked up to her and looked at the tent behind her.

Since they were in the wild, they didn't make things complicated. They only set up two tents, he slept in one and Tsunade and the other three slept in one.

Before, the four of them actually shared one tent, after all, they all slept in sleeping bags.

But since last year, Tsunade kicked him out and made him use a tent alone because of the difference between men and women.

"No...no."

Nohara Lin said hesitantly.

"Why is your face so red?"

Hanekawa stretched out his hand and placed the back of his hand against her hot face.

Nohara Lin was stunned for a moment, her blush visible to the naked eye, spreading to her neck and ears.

She felt dizzy and could no longer hear what he was saying.

"You're so cute."

Hanekawa smiled and patted her head and said.

Nohara Lin didn't dare to look at him. She stood there at a loss, allowing him to do what he wanted.

"Go wash up."

Hanekawa withdrew his hand and said.

Nohara Lin subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, said nothing, and walked out.

"Hanekawa!"

After she left, Xiurihong walked out of the tent and ran to him happily.

"How did you sleep?"

Hanekawa gently stroked her soft hair.

"pretty good."

Yuhi Kurenai smiled and said, "At least there are no annoying Iwa-nins disturbing my sleep."

On the battlefield, it is a tradition to launch sneak attacks under the cover of night.

Not only the Iwagakure Village, every ninja village has done this.

"Lin is going to wash up, you should go too, and have breakfast when you come back."

Hanekawa pinched her cheek and then let go.

Xiurihong blinked her eyes, did not give in, touched his face, and left happily with her heart beating fast.

Hanekawa withdrew his gaze and turned around, only to see Tsunade standing at the door of the tent.

For some reason, he suddenly had the illusion that he was caught...

"Good morning, teacher. You look even prettier today."

Hanekawa praised without changing his expression.

"Glib tongue!"

Tsunade snorted and asked, "Did you just say the same thing to Kurenai?"

"Absolutely not!"

Hanekawa said very seriously, "Red is just cute now."

"You mean I'm unlovable?"

Tsunade asked suddenly.

"What I mean is that teachers should be beautiful first, and cute second!"

Hanekawa said with sweat dropping down his cheeks.

"You are such a good talker, I wonder how many people you have fooled."

Tsunade stared at him for a few seconds, then raised the corners of her mouth and said with a smile.

"But I didn't lie to the teacher."

Seeing her smile, Hanekawa stepped forward boldly, "I promise!"

Being so close, his eyes subconsciously moved down and swept across the fair skin.

"I do not believe."

Tsunade smiled, stretched out her finger, pushed him away, and said, "I'm hungry."

"I'll go cook now!"

Hanekawa held her fingers and said.

Tsunade was slightly startled.

This kid's behavior is getting more and more outrageous.

She didn't resist though.

Hanekawa stopped there and turned to prepare breakfast.

After dinner, the four people continued on their journey, and at dusk, they finally arrived at Konoha Village.

"The old man didn't make so much trouble this time."

Tsunade looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see any ninjas or villagers coming to greet them.

Given her personality, she really doesn't like that kind of scene.

"Maybe it's because we came back late this time."

Hanekawa said casually.

In fact, it feels good to be the center of attention.

But just do it once or twice, too often it's just like that.

"Hong and Lin, you should go home first."

Tsunade said after Nohara Rin finished registering at the door.

"Yes."

Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai said in unison.

But before leaving, both of them looked at Hanekawa.

Xihihong means to go home early.

Nohara Rin seems to be meaningless.

While Hanekawa was thinking, he suddenly felt a pain in his foot.

"Stop being in a daze and go to the Hokage building."

Tsunade's tone was calm, as if the kick just now was not made by her.

What's the reaction?
Hanekawa quickly followed her.

Although it was already time to get off work, there were still many ninjas in the Hokage Building.

Most of them are dark.

Hanekawa suddenly thought that this ANBU was really miserable.

You have to work 24 hours a day, all year round, and there is still a lot of work to do.

No wonder he is the ninja among ninjas, he is indeed very tolerant.

If it were him, he would never join the Anbu.

Bang!
Tsunade kicked open the door to the Hokage's office.

Hanekawa blinked.

He felt that this kick was more powerful than the previous one because a crack appeared on the door.

"You're back? You've had a hard time along the way."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at them with a smile and said.

A mere door is nothing compared to the four beasts that were captured alive.

Tsunade can kick if she wants.

He didn't care.

"You did a great job this time, better than I expected."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with emotion, "This is really a big surprise for me."

"What's the situation in the Hidden Mist Village?"

Tsunade ignored his compliment.

"Nothing is happening at the moment."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said.

"Just say reward."

After Tsunade asked the concerned question, she moved on to the next topic.

“There’s no rush for this reward.”

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought for a moment and said, "I don't know what to give you now. Let's wait until we negotiate with the Iwagakure Village."

The merit of capturing the tailed beast alive is so great that it is difficult to give a reward.

Moreover, the Iwagakure Village would definitely be willing to pay a high price, which could also be considered as a reward.

It would be appropriate to give it after negotiation.

"Your composite ninjutsu, and lava release ninjutsu."

Tsunade didn't force it, she just stated Hanekawa's request.

"no problem."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was a little surprised, but he agreed readily.

After all, compared to capturing the tailed beast alive, these are all trivial matters.

"Hanekawa."

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Hanekawa and asked, "Have you learned the two compound ninjutsu from before?"

"He has already learned it."

Tsunade snorted and said, "And his proficiency is no worse than yours."

"...?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be about to say something but stopped himself.

As your teacher, am I completely inferior to your student?
You can even say something like this!
Sarutobi Hiruzen naturally didn't believe that Hanekawa could surpass him in proficiency after only learning for a few months. He just thought it was Tsunade's preference.

"this is for you."

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about it and took out a scroll.

"Only one?"

Tsunade asked in dissatisfaction.

"It's the Five Elements Great Link Technique."

Sarutobi Hiruzen replied.

Tsunade couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

As a student of Sarutobi Hiruzen, she naturally knew that this compound ninjutsu was his most powerful skill and it was extremely terrifying.

Tsunade suddenly felt something subtle.

Because Hanekawa has now learned the water jutsu of the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, and the composite ninjutsu of the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.

If the Fourth Hokage was her, he would have also learned her medical ninjutsu.

At present, all that is missing is the Wood Release of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, to gather all the strengths of all the previous Hokage.

However, Hanekawa is destined to never learn Wood Release.

After all, he doesn't have the blood of the Senju clan.

As for combining earth escape and water escape, that is even more difficult.

There are so many ninjas in Konoha Village, but no one has been able to succeed over the years, including Tobirama Senju and Hiruzen Sarutobi.

They can't even find a way to get started, let alone try.

Although she doesn't have Wood Release, Tsunade can already imagine Hanekawa's future.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's title of the strongest Hokage will most likely be taken away by him.

"Thank you, Hokage-sama."

Hanekawa happily accepted the Five Elements: Great Range Bullet Technique.

This compound ninjutsu is more powerful than most bloodline limits and can be called a true killing move.

Of course, it is also difficult to learn.

"This jutsu is quite difficult. If you encounter any problems you don't understand, feel free to come to me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a smile.

Although he was given the Five Elements Great Link Technique because of Hanekawa's great contribution, there was no doubt that he already regarded him as half a student.

After all, this compound ninjutsu is his signature ninjutsu.

"It's getting late, you should go back and rest."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced out the window and said, "If anything happens, I'll let the Anbu notify you."

"Row."

Tsunade nodded and turned to leave.

"Goodbye, Hokage-sama."

After saying hello, Hanekawa followed Tsunade.

"The old man is okay this time."

Tsunade was walking down the street, and casually said, "Even I, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru haven't learned the Five Styles: Great Link Technique."

"Then the teacher wants to learn?"

Hanekawa looked at her and asked.

"Not learn."

Tsunade shook her head and said, "My medical ninjutsu is enough."

Of course, there was another reason she didn't mention.

If you want to learn the Five Elements: Great Link Technique, you must master the five attribute changes.

Although she is very talented, she has not reached this level.

"Breaking news! Konoha Village defeated Iwagakure Village and won a great victory!"

Hanekawa suddenly saw a newspaper advertisement in front of a bookstore.

He was slightly stunned. There were indeed newspapers in the ninja world.

In the original work, it is mentioned that Minato Namikaze often reads newspapers.

"I'm going to buy a newspaper."

Hanekawa was very curious about what the newspaper of Konoha Village was like, and it was obviously related to them.

He took a few steps forward and walked into the bookstore.

"Tsunade and Hanekawa captured the Four-Tails alive, and the Iwagakure Village fled in panic!"

The first thing Hanekawa saw was the most obvious headline in the newspaper, which was in bold black letters.

He paid the money and picked up the newspaper to read.

The content is not detailed enough, but it is comprehensive, and describes several major battles in Konoha Village.

Hanekawa couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the end.

Because this part involves the reactions and discussions of various ninja villages.

Was this newspaper founded by Konoha Village?

"You are really famous now. Ninjas from all the major ninja villages know your name."

Tsunade said with a smile after reading the newspaper.

"That's still not as good as the teacher."

Hanekawa said seriously, "I feel that the teacher's reputation has surpassed that of Hokage-sama."

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tsunade couldn't help but glare at him.

She knew the real purpose of this little devil without even having to think about it.

"I am telling the truth."

Hanekawa coughed lightly and analyzed, "Although Hokage-sama made a name for himself in the first two ninja wars, he did not capture the tailed beast alive."

Tsunade was stunned.

Think about it, it's true.

Although Sarutobi Hiruzen made many contributions to Konoha Village, there are only a few major events that made him famous in the ninja world.

Even if there is, it is far less shocking than capturing the tailed beast alive.

Tsunade couldn't help but hold her forehead.

She has been really troubled by this little devil!

Obviously, it was Hanekawa's credit that the Four-Tails was defeated, but she happened to be there at the time.

Whether it was the ninjas or the villagers, they would all assume that she had made a lot of efforts and would not believe that she won easily.

After all, she is one of the three great ninjas of Konoha and has long been famous.

Forget it, now that things have come to this, let’s eat first.

Reputation is not something she can get rid of just because she wants to.

"Go buy groceries."

Tsunade put away the newspaper, perked up, and said excitedly, "I want to have a big meal tonight, and drink!"

……

Somewhere in the Land of Grass.

"Master Spot."

A White Zetsu emerged from the ground and said, "Obito has woken up."

"Ah."

Uchiha Madara nodded slightly and said, "Take care of him for a while, and I will talk to him when he gets better."

"Yes."

White Zetsu sank into the ground.

But not long after, another White Zetsu appeared.

"what's up?"

Uchiha Madara glanced at it and asked.

Although the White Zetsu look similar, he can still tell them apart.

"Madara-sama, Hanekawa and Nohara Rin have both returned to Konoha Village."

White Zetsu replied.

"Konoha Village?"

Uchiha Madara frowned and said, "This is troublesome."

As the strongest person in the Uchiha clan, he naturally knew how to open the Mangekyō Sharingan.

This is especially easy for an Uchiha like Uchiha Obito who is a single-minded person.

All he needs to do is let him witness something happen to the person he cares about most.

But Konoha Village... he currently doesn't have the strength to force his way into it.

Fortunately, the ninja world has become a mess, and Tsunade cannot stay in Konoha Village safely.

Once they leave the village, we can naturally do it.

But it is also quite difficult.

Especially after Uchiha Madara knew that Hanekawa had captured the Four-Tails alive.

This means that there are two jonin among the jonin in this team, which is very troublesome.

Uchiha Madara was thoughtful.

Is there any other way?
"Do you think Nohara Lin likes Hanekawa?"

Uchiha Madara thought about it and asked.

"What is liking?"

Bai Zetsu asked with a curious look on his face.

"..."

Uchiha Madara hesitated for a second, and finally said, "You go down."

"Yes."

White Zetsu disappeared before him.

Uchiha Madara fell into deep thought.

He had seen many Uchiha clan ninjas open their eyes, and the two most important emotions were family and love.

Uchiha Obito's family affection is his grandmother who helped him cross the road, and his love is undoubtedly Nohara Rin.

But it is obvious that the latter has a greater impact.
