Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

Page 124

Shirahoshi suddenly had an experimental subject: Could combining the Sage Body and the Senju Body allow them to develop something like Wood Release?!

So he logged out of the world and checked Jugo's information. He found that Jugo hadn't been born yet in Konoha 39. He thought he could only give up for now and try to find a Senju clan member to teach him Sage Mode... But it seemed like there weren't many Senju clan members left, and Tsunade was hard to capture.

Oh, and there's my good teammate, Nawaki!

With a candidate chosen, preparations began to be made to kidnap Rope Tree and turn him into a test subject, but the prerequisite was that he had to learn sealing techniques or something similar.

......

Using an excuse, Shirahoshi prepared to leave the small house temporarily, leaving behind Guren and saying she would be back in a couple of days. Yahiko said that their business guild's operations still needed to be planned, so they wouldn't be leaving home so soon, and told Shirahoshi not to worry.

But then he said that he would consider doing some business cooperation after visiting various places in the Land of Rain.

Shirahoshi gave an idea: mushrooms.

"mushroom?"

"This thing is quite common in the Land of Rain, but most of them are inedible, right?"

"No!" Bai Xing shook her head. "Some mushrooms are actually quite delicious when cooked for a long time. You can investigate them later. I'll collect them when I get back, and then I'll use my abilities to take a look and see for myself."

Without room, you have to eat it yourself to know if it's safe to eat after cooking for too long or until it's fully cooked.

After all, they don't have that kind of large equipment to do the testing.

It took Shirahoshi a day to return to Konoha from the hut.

It's already dark now, and in July, many ninja academy students should be graduating.

to be frank.

I still miss Shirahoshi quite a bit.

That period of time when I felt weak and powerless, forced to stay at home.

They infiltrated the Leaf Village barrier, entered the village, and arrived at the village street.

"Hey buddy, wanna try some of my grilled skewers?"

"Hey buddy, what would you like to eat?"

"Would you like to try some of these chewy and sweet glutinous rice balls?"

At this time of night, in order to do business, many owners or service staff are holding up flyers at the entrance to attract customers.

Competition in the bustling areas of the village is no less intense than outside, after all, rent is more expensive, unlike Ichiraku Ramen, which mainly targets low-end customers and has its shops located on the outskirts of the village.

Shirahoshi ignored these things and headed towards the Senju clan's territory.

That's right.

He was the one who dared to sneak into someone's house and steal a child.

Moreover, this is Konoha Village.

After crossing one street, turn the corner and cross another street to reach the Senju clan's territory.

However, at the moment she turned the corner, Bai Xing saw a young man with white spiky hair, wearing wooden clogs, his arms crossed, leaning against the wall.

But Shirahoshi ignored it and prepared to continue walking...

"stop!"

Bai Xing stopped.

"Can you tell me what your purpose is in approaching Nagato?" At this moment, Jiraiya began to suspect that the man in front of him was the blond man that the Great Sage had prophesied.

Perhaps the other person's hair was dyed at that time, or perhaps their transformation technique could turn their hair blonde.

Don't you care about Yahiko and Minami?

"Jiraiya-san is really biased."

"answer my question."

Jiraiya's tone was serious:

"I don't believe you would be such a kind person as to establish an organization that strives for a peaceful and friendly world."

"You must have your own purpose."

Upon hearing this, Shirahoshi smiled, then turned to look at the nearly thirty-year-old man and said, "Mr. Jiraiya may have misunderstood something."

"The weak eat the strong."

"Either the wolf dies or the sheep dies."

"Either the weak wolf starves to death, or the weak sheep is bitten to death."

As she spoke, Shirahoshi noticed Jiraiya's increasingly dangerous gaze and smiled, "As for me, I just did what I was supposed to do."

"Walk on the path I should be on."

"So what are you doing back in the village today?" Jiraiya's head was spinning from all the grand pronouncements, and he also hadn't expected Shirahoshi to be so openly wandering around the village, and Shirahoshi's target seemed to be...

"This is it."

"of course."

"The legacy of the First Hokage".

"The legacy of the First Hokage?" Jiraiya frowned, then, recalling the surgeon's assessment, his eyes widened. "You actually want to take Tsunade away?!"

"..."

Shirahoshi froze, thinking to herself, "It's one thing that you only pay attention to Nagato and not to Konan, but now that you should be paying attention to the boys, you're focusing on Tsunade, who's almost thirty too?!"

"Anyway."

"I think that's the gist of it."

Shirahoshi didn't bother to continue the conversation with Jiraiya and left in a flash.

Jiraiya watched Shirahoshi leave without moving, a smile playing on his lips: "Tsunade is at an izakaya with those kids right now."

"Perfect timing! I'll go inform Tsunade now!"

With that, Jiraiya dashed off toward the izakaya.

Meanwhile, Shirahoshi, who had originally planned to break into the forbidden technique room, thought of Uzumaki Mito, who was skilled in sealing techniques, and assumed that the Senju clan's territory must have sealing techniques.

Chakra Eye!

From her line of sight, Shirahoshi could see Nawaki, now a young man, training in the courtyard of the Senju clan's territory.

“Hoo, ho, ho—”

Rope Tree swung his wooden sword countless times, his forehead dripping with sweat.

"almost."

"When Brother Shirahoshi comes back, he'll be surprised at how much I've improved."

Before leaving, Shirahoshi gave Nawaki, who hadn't made much progress in ninjutsu, a small notebook containing tips on swordsmanship and training methods.

after the end.

Rope Tree placed the wooden sword on the ground, went to the corridor outside the mansion, sat down, looked up at the starry sky, and relaxed his body: "However."

"When can we give Grandma's gift to Brother Baixing?"

"I wonder where Brother Bai Xing is traveling now, and whether he is still alive."

As he spoke, Rope Tree shook his head and spat a few times:

"Pah, pah, pah. Brother Bai Xing is so strong, he'll definitely be fine."

By this time, Nawaki had become a special Jonin and had carried out many battlefield missions and post-war village missions, which had made him much more mature.

But in terms of strength...

Because his talent was not as good as that of a genius, or even as good as that of his older sister.

Therefore, in terms of strength, he is just an ordinary Jonin.

Also.

Due to his slow progress in strength, Nawaki has yet to emerge from Shirahoshi's perfect image.

Nawaki believes that he will only consider participating in the Jonin Exams once Shirahoshi becomes a Chunin, or when Shirahoshi's strength truly reaches the level he considers Jonin.

"That's not necessarily the case."

"However, the sealing experience left by Mito is quite well analyzed. It actually contains three sealing techniques, from C to A."

"Of course, my grandma would never do that..."

call out--

Boom!

Shirahoshi tilted her head to avoid the kunai, which stuck in the wooden wall outside the mansion, next to Shirahoshi's head.

Shirahoshi's gaze remained fixed on the scroll in her hand. Although it contained a lot of information, it was actually less complicated than medical ninjutsu.

"A basic array of lights."

"This sealing technique is probably C-level in difficulty, but it's too easy. It feels like I could learn it just by looking at it once."

"Who are you? Why are you taking my things!" Rope Tree turned around and stood still, holding a kunai in his hand, his gaze fixed ahead.

"This is it."

"I heard you say that Lord Mito died, so I'm just checking if there's anything I can steal from your house."

"Just right."

I really like this scroll.

Bai Xing planned to look at the B-level Evil-Sealing Seal and the A-level Four Symbols Seal later. She rolled them up, tied them up again, and put them back in her bosom.

Next, look at the rope tree.

"and then."

"I need your help with something else."

"What is it?" Through the moonlight and the mansion's lamplight, Nawaki recognized Shirahoshi's appearance; she seemed familiar, probably a ninja from the village...
