Chapter 99 Morning Outing, Food and Drink, Hatake Father and Son
The next day, as dawn broke.
Hoshino Senjue opened his eyes contentedly, looked at Tsunade who was still fast asleep in his arms, and gently kissed her golden hair.
Tsunade's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she unconsciously snuggled closer to him in her sleep, letting out a lazy nasal sound.
He held her quietly, feeling her warmth and comfort, and lingered there, reluctant to get up.
Not long after, Tsunade also woke up.
A pair of amber eyes blinked hazily, just in time to meet Qian Shuo's smiling gaze.
A slight smile played on her lips, her face glowed softly, and her brows revealed a sense of languor and contentment.
After a moment of quiet eye contact, she slowly sat up, her glossy red lips gently pressing against Qian Shuo's cheek like a feather.
The warm breath brushed against her skin, and Qian Shuo's heart trembled slightly. He subconsciously wanted to pull her into his arms.
Tsunade chuckled and stepped back.
She threw off the covers and got up, her stunning figure flashing in the morning light, and in the blink of an eye she was dressed.
"Time to get up."
She glanced back at Qian Shuo, a hint of mockery in her smile, then turned and walked out of the room.
Xingyuan Qianshuo watched her figure disappear with an almost mournful look in his eyes, then smiled helplessly and had no choice but to get up.
After tidying up the bedding and quickly washing up, I didn't see Tsunade in the living room; she'd probably gone to prepare breakfast again.
He stepped out of his room, intending to take a walk in the courtyard, but heard a noise coming from the direction of the training ground, so he strolled over there.
Three figures stood on the training field—Minato and two Kushina.
One Kushina held up her palm, gathering a large amount of chakra; the other swung her hands left and right, precisely controlling their shape.
Soon, a deep blue Rasengan spun steadily in Kushina's palm, its continuous buzzing sound particularly clear in the quiet morning.
"How was it, Minato? Pretty impressive, huh?" Kushina asked smugly, holding up the Rasengan.
"Yes, very impressive." Minato praised with a gentle smile.
"hey-hey"
After waiting for so long, Kushina finally heard this praise, and she was immediately satisfied, a bright smile spreading across her face.
Upon seeing Hoshino Senju approaching, Kushina quickly said, "Minato, hurry, use the Rasengan too, show it to Senju."
With abundant chakra, she maintained the Rasengan, wanting to compete with Minato.
Minato didn't hesitate. He stretched out his right hand, and chakra surged. In a moment, a Rasengan that was equally stable floated in his palm.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's eyes narrowed—this level of proficiency has probably reached the master level; no wonder he is Minato.
Kushina wasn't surprised that Minato released the Rasengan with one hand; she brought her own Rasengan closer to compare their sizes.
"My Rasengan is bigger, I won!" Kushina said happily.
Minato smiled and nodded, "That's true."
Xingyuan Qianshuo was speechless—if you're skilled enough, wouldn't injecting more chakra just make it bigger?
"Minato, let's test its power! Let Chisaku test it out." Kushina was eager to try.
"No, it's so early in the morning, it's too noisy," Xingyuan Qianshuo quickly stopped him.
"Yes, Kushina, don't release it," Minato also advised.
"Oh well."
The two then dissipated their Rasengan.
"Chisaku, thank you and Lady Tsunade for taking care of Kushina," Minato said gently.
"Haha, don't be shy, we're all friends."
"Um."
At that moment, Kushina suddenly stared at Hoshino Senju and said, "Senju, I didn't expect you to be so amazing. Minato said you're known as the 'Green Miracle'."
Xingyuan Qianshuo's lips twitched. He had never boasted about this title before, but he didn't expect Minato to mention it to Kushina.
Before he could respond, Kushina added, "Sigh, Minato hasn't earned his title yet."
"I thought they were going to praise me, but it turns out they're just defending Minato," Hoshino Senju thought to himself.
"Kushina, don't say that." Minato's tone was unusually serious.
"Oh, I see." Kushina immediately accepted the criticism and turned to Chisaku, "I'm sorry, Chisaku, I didn't mean to."
"It's alright. With Minato's strength, I believe he'll soon have a resounding reputation," Hoshino Senju replied.
"Mmm!" Kushina nodded repeatedly.
At this moment, Tsunade invited the group to have breakfast, and they stopped talking.
After breakfast, Tsunade decided not to go to the hospital in the morning and planned to stay home to organize the Senju clan's ninjutsu and secret techniques.
Xingyuan Qianshuo had no choice but to leave the Qianshou mansion with Jingyin.
The two parted ways midway, with Shizune heading to the Ninja Academy.
After sitting idly in the consultation room for a while, Sheci walked in with a solemn expression.
"Good morning, Senpai Chisaku."
"Good morning," Xingyuan Qianshuo replied. "Don't be so serious. Students are just kids, there's no need to be nervous."
"Yes, senior." Sheci agreed verbally, but her body remained tense.
He shook his head: "Sit down first."
The snake, not understanding what was going on, sat down in the chair.
Xingyuan Qianshuo stood up, placed his hand on Sheci's shoulder, and slowly channeled his chakra into her body's meridians.
Yesterday, when he helped Kakashi replenish his chakra, he discovered that his chakra could efficiently restore physical strength, and the gentle vitality it contained could also relieve mental fatigue.
Sheci felt a warm, comforting energy flowing through her body like sunshine, quickly filling her with vitality and easing her tense mind.
"Senior Qian Shuo, you are truly amazing." She Ci, having recovered, immediately relaxed a lot.
"Hmm, are you less nervous now?"
"I feel much better, thank you, senior." Sheci smiled. "Senior, I'm going to school now."
"Go ahead, you can do it."
"yes!"
Sheci turned around and walked out of the consultation room with light steps.
Xingyuan Qianshuo shook his head and chuckled, his chakra now seemed to have a "stimulant" effect.
During his work hours, after seeing several patients, he suddenly felt somewhat disheartened.
Tsunade wasn't at the hospital, and he didn't want to stay there any longer.
After a moment's thought, he formed a hand seal and created a shadow clone to take over, while his main body quietly left the hospital.
In the morning, the warm sunlight filled the streets of Konoha with the scent of daily life.
The roadside breakfast stalls emit wisps of steam, the sizzling sound of tempura being fried in oil, the clanging sound of stir-frying on a hot plate, and the owner's clear shouts intertwine to create a symphony of everyday life.
He stopped in front of a takoyaki stand and watched the golden batter tumble in the griddle mold, gradually puffing up and becoming round.
The aroma of roasted meat was irresistible, and he couldn't help but swallow.
I bought a serving, picked up a bonito flake, and put it in my mouth. The salty and fresh bonito flakes, with their subtle smoky flavor, touched my taste buds. Then, they collided with the rich sauce and creamy mayonnaise on the surface. The warm and delicious taste spread in my mouth, and a feeling of happy satisfaction welled up in my heart.
Just as he was about to try it again, two loud shouts came from behind: "Brother Qian Shuo!"
Before he could finish speaking, heavy, thumping footsteps rapidly approached.
Xingyuan Qianshuo turned around and saw two tall and burly figures running towards him, and couldn't help but smile.
It was the brothers, the Wind God and the Thunder God.
Bang!
The two rushed excitedly to Qian Shuo and knelt down almost simultaneously, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
They bowed their heads and kowtowed three times before looking up with burning eyes.
However, the next moment, both of their eyes were fixed on the takoyaki he hadn't finished eating, and their stomachs immediately started rumbling like drums.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's lips twitched, and he quietly activated the system to investigate:
【Name: Wind God】
[Condition: Excessive digestion, frequent hunger affects physical development]
[Name: Thor]
[Condition: Excessive digestion, frequent hunger affects physical development]
"It's still the same old problem," he sighed inwardly.
"Get up, it doesn't look good to kneel in the street," Xingyuan Qianshuo said helplessly.
This scene has already attracted the attention of many pedestrians.
This area is a food street, and the stall owners often see the two silly brothers, the Wind God and the Thunder God.
Although the two were tall and strong and often went hungry, they were surprisingly well-behaved and never fought over food.
Seeing that they actually had "big brothers," they all secretly muttered to themselves: This young man is in for a tough time with these two.
When the Wind God and Thunder God heard Qian Shuo speak, they instinctively tried to get up, but then "plop" they knelt back down.
"Alright, get up. Since we've run into each other, I'll treat you to a good meal," Xingyuan Qianshuo had no choice but to say.
He also wanted to test whether continuing to feed them would still earn him a reward.
Thus, Xingyuan Qianshuo, who rarely takes a leisurely stroll, now has two imposing "bodyguards" behind him.
He first bought each of them a serving of takoyaki to whet their appetites.
"Brother, brother, this takoyaki is so delicious!" Thor gulped down a serving in a few bites and exclaimed in a gruff voice.
"Uh-huh."
The wind god, who always doted on his younger brother, turned away from the thunder god's eager gaze and quickly stuffed the unfinished food into his mouth.
"Thor, look, it's gone!" Anemo shook the empty box triumphantly.
"Wow, it's really gone!" Thor exclaimed in amazement, as if watching a magic show.
At that moment, Thor had a sudden inspiration and asked innocently, "Brother, why are takoyaki round?"
"Idiot, Thor! Because if it's square—it'll get stuck in your throat when you eat it!" the Wind God replied confidently.
"Wow, my brother is so smart!"
Xingyuan Qianshuo was speechless and quickly quickened his pace to avoid being infected by this idiocy.
He led the wind god and the thunder god through the streets and alleys, starting the "bottomless pit" feeding mode.
Not only did the two brothers eat with abandon, but he himself also calmly ate a large amount of food under the guise of "returning life".
The Wind God and Thunder God were quite surprised, repeatedly exclaiming, "As expected of Brother Qian Shuo, he can eat just as much as we can! He's definitely one of us!"
The three of them enjoyed their meal along the street, becoming a moving "scenic spot" and attracting the attention of many passersby.
Kakashi, who was shopping with his father, also saw them in the crowd.
Watching Teacher Qian Shuo leading two tall figures in a "mad feast," Kakashi paused, his expression hesitant, feeling somewhat ashamed to go up and greet them.
He subconsciously looked up at his father beside him. Seeing that his father's expression was normal, he also composed himself and stood up straighter.
Sakumo Hatake simply glanced at the three lively people with a calm expression, his gaze lingering on Senju Hoshino for a moment.
After hearing Kakashi's description last night, he regarded Xingyuan Qianshuo as a strong person whose strength was comparable to his own.
Unexpectedly, the other party would know the brothers, the Wind God and the Thunder God—the two are simple-minded but possess superhuman strength, and their power should not be underestimated.
Xingyuan Qianshuo also noticed the Hatake father and son, but did not go up to greet them, only nodding in greeting from a distance.
He knew that his "mukbang" would spread like wildfire on the streets, but since he had promised to feed everyone, he continued without hesitation.
After walking around for nearly an hour, we finally fed the two of them.
"Hiccup, brother, I'm so full," Thor said, rubbing his stomach.
"I'm so full." Fengshen raised his hand and patted his belly.
Thud! Thud! Thud! ————
Thor found it amusing to see his brother patting his belly and started patting it vigorously as well.
Seeing this, the wind god also playfully joined in taking pictures.
"Stop, stop!" Xingyuan Qianshuo quickly called out, "Alright, now that you've eaten, hurry home. Your father might be back soon after his mission."
Boom!
The Wind God and Thunder God kowtowed to Brother Qian Shuo again before reluctantly leaving.
Xingyuan Qianshuo had already seen the system notification. After sending them away, he opened the interface:
[You have alleviated the Wind God's hunger, and have received the following rewards: Strength +5%, Chakra +110]
[You have alleviated Thor's hunger, and have received the following rewards: Strength +5%, Chakra +110]
"It's dropped to 5%?" he thought to himself. "Well, at least I got the reward, so I didn't lose money."
The food he had just eaten had been converted into abundant energy, so he directly extracted the enhancement reward.
A slight tingling sensation flowed through my body, and my strength increased a little more.
Will I be able to find it again next time? Oh well, we'll see.
Composing himself, Xingyuan Qianshuo stopped wandering around and headed straight for his target store.
He didn't come out to buy food.
After quietly observing his surroundings, he turned into a secluded spot, and when he came out again, he was a stranger.
He then calmly walked into an eyeglasses store and soon came out again.
Restore the area to its original state in a secluded corner and continue shopping.
He bought three pairs of black contact lenses, one of which he tried on and tested with his Sharingan eyes at an optician's shop. The concealing effect was quite good.
Next, he went to "Mandiantang", the most famous ninja tool shop in Konoha.
Upon entering, a metallic smell mixed with the scent of clove oil used for maintaining swords and knives wafts out.
Before I could get a good look, I saw two white-haired figures—it was Sakumo Hatake and Kakashi whom I had encountered earlier.
Since they were in the same store, Xingyuan Qianshuo stepped forward and greeted them, "Shuo Mao-senpai, Kakashi, it's nice to see you again."
"
"Hello, Senju-sensei." Kakashi bowed slightly in greeting, his posture even more proper and courteous than yesterday.
"Hello, Chisaku-kun." Sakumo Hatake turned around and smiled gently. "Thank you for your treatment and care of Kakashi before."
His expression was as serene as a deep pool, possessing a calming and infectious quality.
Whether it was due to the influence of his memories or not, Xingyuan Qianshuo always felt that beneath that calm, there was a deep sorrow hidden beneath the surface.
"You're too kind. It was just a coincidence that we met." Hoshino Senju replied with a smile, his gaze naturally falling on the short sword in Kakashi's hand. "Are you two here to choose a sword?"
"Yes, Kakashi's old sword is a bit worn and the size is no longer suitable. Let's get a new one," Sakumo Hatake said calmly.
"I see." Xingyuan Qianshuo's heart stirred slightly.
Sakumo Hatake was undoubtedly a master swordsman, earning the reputation of "Konoha's White Fang" with a chakra short sword.
Xingyuan Qianshuo once talked with Tsunade about the many elite Jonin of Konoha and learned that senior Sakumo was skilled in Wind Release.
By imbuing that short sword with Wind Release chakra, it became incredibly sharp and its length could be adjusted at will. Combined with Wind Release: Body Flicker Technique, it was arguably one of Konoha's most lethal assassins.
A thought flashed through his mind, and Xingyuan Qianshuo continued, "Perfect timing, I was also planning to choose a knife that I'm comfortable with."
Sakumo Hatake nodded upon hearing this.
Having spent years in life-or-death battles, he almost instinctively observed and assessed Chisaku. Both were Wind Release ninjas, yet their paths diverged greatly: one pursued extreme speed and pinpoint damage, the other focused on range and area of effect.
The destruction of the "surface".
His gaze swept over Qian Shuo's palm—there were no calluses from sword practice—and he wondered to himself, "Is he a novice, or was it treated with medical ninjutsu?"
At this moment, Kakashi wielded his sword and slashed several times quickly, then swiftly turned around and slashed back. Each movement was crisp and clean. After trying it out, he felt that the weight and length were just right, so he nodded to his father.
Sakumo Hatake took the sword, lightly wiping the blade with his fingertips, his gaze focused as if looking at an old friend, and after a moment he nodded slightly in approval.
He took Kakashi to pay the bill, while Hoshino Senjue examined the various swords hanging on the wall.
He planned to choose a decent quality sword as a temporary solution, and perhaps find a grass sword later.
I took down a decent-looking katana, drew it and swung it a few times, then sheathed it and tried again, repeatedly getting a feel for its handling.
However, this casual sword-testing action made Hatake Sakumo's gaze narrow slightly—this was a master swordsman.
Xingyuan Qianshuo was unaware that he had inadvertently revealed some of his secrets.
After trying four knives, he still felt that the first one was the most comfortable to use.
Seeing that the Hatake father and son were still waiting inside the store, he took the knife and walked towards the counter.
"Sixty thousand taels, that's not a low price," he thought to himself.
I wanted to haggle, but with the Hatake father and son standing there, I felt it would be beneath me to try.
Forget it, I won't haggle anymore—why should a man bargain when buying things?
After paying the bill and leaving the shop, he chatted with the Hatake father and son for a few more minutes before parting ways without further conversation.
