Chương 126: An unexpected encounter with Tsuna at the hot spring!

The bright moonlight shone down, and the white mist from the hot spring water dissipated considerably. At this moment, Yang Cheng finally saw clearly who the curvaceous figure in the white mist was.

With long, flowing golden hair, even while soaking in the hot spring, Yang Cheng could still tell from her exposed shoulders and hemispheres that she possessed a terrifying weapon. Through these extremely distinctive features, Yang Cheng recognized her at a glance.

It's her! The legendary number one healer in the ninja world, the woman whose blood volume supposedly exceeds the alphabet!

Although the other person was now naked compared to when they met during the day, Yang Cheng still recognized him at a glance.

No, putting aside the possibility of actually meeting the other person in this world, he has probably seen the other person without clothes even more often.

After all, the other party is the real king of Naruto doujinshi! In terms of sheer reach and quantity, even Doujinshi Rai has to concede defeat. In fact, the other party is definitely among the top in the entire anime community!

The hot spring inns in Tanabata are mixed-gender baths, and Tsunade wanted to soak in the hot spring alone, so she chose to do so late at night when it was quiet.

However, he did not expect that even after eliminating the safety hazard caused by Jiraiya, the lecherous man, there were still people soaking in the hot spring.

Tsunade originally wanted to give up, but now that she was reeking of alcohol and had experienced too many things that day, she was in a depressed mood. So after hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to go into the hot spring.

Of course, this is also largely due to the fact that Tsunade had just vaguely seen that the person soaking in the hot spring was just a kid.

If it's a teenager, then it doesn't matter; just treat them like a child.

However, just as the white mist dissipated slightly, just as Yang Cheng saw Tsunade, she also saw his face and recognized him as the person who had been with Orochimaru during the day.

"Orochimaru knows that Jiraiya, that idiot, has also come looking for me, so he sent you to test my intentions?"

It's been many years since we last met. Those two are quite interesting. One wants me to go back and become Hokage, while the other is using my deceased relative to try and get me to heal his arm.

And coincidentally, this time they were each accompanied by a little devil.

The kid Jiraiya brought along looks like a simple-minded idiot.

"Based on my understanding of Orochimaru, he doesn't just take anyone for granted. To become his disciple, your talent and strength must be quite remarkable, right?"

Although Yang Cheng was with Orochimaru during the day, Tsunade currently showed no intention of attacking him.

As one of the legendary Sannin of Konoha, Tsunade still has a certain air about her. She wouldn't do something like bullying a child who's only a teenager.

Even if she had a grudge, she would have gone straight for Orochimaru instead of making things difficult for a junior like Yang Cheng.

Speaking of Orochimaru's disciple, Tsunade picked up the sake bottle floating on the hot spring water, poured herself a cup, and then looked up at the moon in the sky.

Her younger brother, Nawaki, was also Orochimaru's disciple, but he perished in a ninja war, his body never recovered.

At that time, Nawaki was about the same age as Yosei.

Today, she first saw Naruto, whose personality was like that of a younger brother, and then she saw Yang Cheng, who was also Orochimaru's disciple, just like his younger brother. This made Tsunade sigh again that everything that happened today was really terrible!

"I think Lady Tsunade may have misunderstood. I am not Orochimaru's disciple."

My mentor, Mitarashi Anko, is, strictly speaking, Orochimaru's grand-disciple.

"And my encounter with Lady Tsunade here was purely accidental; it wasn't Orochimaru who ordered me to come."

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Tsunade was taken aback for a moment, but then continued to pour herself a drink without a care.

"Whether you're a grand-disciple or a disciple, there's not much difference, right? Anyway, you're on Orochimaru's side, aren't you?"

"What? You also want to persuade me to accept Orochimaru's suggestion and help him heal his arm?"

While getting Jiraiya drunk, Tsunade had already made her choice in her heart.

Although she had no interest in returning to Konoha to become Hokage, she didn't intend to let Orochimaru off the hook.

So she had already made up her mind. She planned to drug Jiraiya and then go to Orochimaru to solve the problem herself.

"No, my relationship with Orochimaru may be somewhat different from what Lady Tsunade imagines."

Having developed medical ninjutsu that allowed many to survive the battlefield, and being the number one medical ninja in the ninja world, I have long admired Lady Tsunade. Among the Legendary Sannin of the Three Ninja Trees, I admire Lady Tsunade the most.

So regardless of whether Lady Tsunade believes it or not, I do not recommend that you agree to Orochimaru's conditions.

As one of the top medical ninjas in the ninja world, you should be well aware that there is no such ninjutsu in this world that can bring people back to life.

Perhaps someone at the level of the Sage of Six Paths could do it, but Orochimaru is far from being able to do it now.

The Impure World Reincarnation technique bestows upon the dead only a false life; bound by circumstances beyond their control, they are, in fact, a desecration to the dead.

The Second Hokage, who developed this forbidden technique, used it to deal with enemies, not to inflict it on his own family.

Tsunade, her face flushed from the alcohol, slowly put down her wine cup, and her gaze toward Yang Cheng suddenly became somewhat intriguing.

Tsunade originally believed that Yang Cheng was Orochimaru's disciple or confidant.

But now it seems that her previous judgment was somewhat wrong.

However, she was also puzzled. If Yang Cheng was not with Orochimaru, then why was he with Orochimaru?

"What's your purpose in telling me all this? If Orochimaru finds out about this information, he probably won't let you off the hook, right?"

"Even if I don't say it, hasn't Lady Tsunade already made her decision in her heart?"

My actions were unnecessary; I simply wanted to make Lady Tsunade more resolute in her decision.

As for why I'm helping you? As I just said, I've heard of Lady Tsunade for a long time and admire her greatly.

When Yang Cheng said those last words, he felt that they came from the bottom of his heart. After all, he had read a lot of Tsunade's works and it was no exaggeration to say that he had admired her for a long time.

"It's good to cherish the past, but if you keep reminiscing about the past, you won't be able to see the road ahead or the people in front of you."

Naruto Uzumaki is a miracle worker, and I believe Lady Tsunade will soon realize that.

I'm truly delighted to have the chance to meet my beloved Tsunade here. Though it's nothing special, consider this a small gift I'd like to leave for her.

Wrapped in a bath towel, Yang Cheng got up from the hot spring and rummaged through his clothes before finally taking out a pair of glasses and placing them in front of Tsunade.

"This is a little gadget I made myself. Its effect is to change the color of things you see."

For example, red turns green, blue turns yellow, and so on.
