Although Hanyu never hesitated when using forbidden techniques, and he did not seem to care much about his physical condition, he had some worries that he had been hiding.
After all, no normal person wants to die young.
So now that Hanyu's body erosion problem has been solved by a method that is not a method, he has finally put his mind at ease and can finally sleep peacefully without being lonely or cold.
After Hanyu became an "ordinary person" again, he finally understood what "little happiness" meant. In the few days after the seal ended, he fell into a feeling that everything he saw was "pretty good."
This is probably what the legendary "good mood" means.
This feeling is especially obvious when you look out the window at the scenery across the hot spring river.
You have to know that an important indicator of an excellent ninja is that he must have excellent insight, and Hanyu is an excellent ninja. So even if he can't be compared with the bloodline limits of the Sharingan and the Byakugan, Hanyu's eyesight is still the best among regular ninjas.
So he is good at discovering the beauty in life...and the round, long and white things in life.
Unfortunately, the scenery during the day is rather ordinary, far less lively than at night, and certainly not as magnificent and majestic - after all, those characters like the oiran only go to work at night.
Just when Hanyu was looking outside in a daze, someone approached him from outside, then put his feet on the eaves below, leaned against Hanyu's window sill and was silent for a long time... Most men would enjoy the same scenery.
And we have to say that "a good teacher produces good students". The Third Hokage also stood in a place like this to admire the hot spring street across from him.
"Hanyu, the weather is nice today, perfect for a picnic. How about going out for a picnic?"
Maybe five minutes, or maybe half an hour passed before Jiraiya reluctantly withdrew his gaze and spoke to Hanyu.
Although Jiraiya would rather engage in physical labor that stretches his waist than leisure activities such as picnics that cultivate sentiment , considering his age and the influence of society and public opinion, he can only suggest a picnic at this time.
Hanyu glanced at him and said:
"Have you been free lately? Are you doing any missions or training?
I have to say your activity proposal this time is even more outrageous than the last bathing - two grown men going out for a picnic? Aren't you a little too idle?"
Such a plan with a hole in the brain sounds so unreliable, and Hanyu is no longer at the age where he likes to play with children... To be exact, he has been at that age since his previous life.
Hanyu has been in a good mood recently. He doesn't have any special tasks, and he has had a short break from the hard training. In addition, he feels light after his illness has been controlled... At this time, he just wants to stay lazily at home and live an enviable fat house life.
Hanyu was half lying on the windowsill, supporting his head with one hand. At this moment, he had the temperament of a lazy, decadent fat otaku.
While he was speaking, his black cat walked briskly across the floor of the room, then jumped lightly onto his thighs, circled its tail a few times, and then lay down and began to take a nap... Look, even this cat can understand Hanyu's feelings.
Even though it has always liked staying in the Samehada training room at the Shadow Base, it still knows how to build a closer relationship with its master.
Therefore, apart from the fact that his body fat percentage does not meet the standard, Hanyu's current life is even comparable to that of a "fat aristocrat"... After all, he is a cat owner and can get some touch from his cats at any time.
What's the saying about cats being useful in many ways? Well, you may have a cat, but you may not have thought of using it to wipe your mouth.
"How come there are only two of us? At least we have Orochimaru." Jiraiya said.
"You all don't have any missions? Well, that's not the point. The point is, can you call out Orochimaru who's staying at home?"
Getting Orochimaru to go out is much more difficult than getting Hanyu to go out, especially when the person planning the event is Jiraiya.
"So I asked Tsunade to call Orochimaru, and then I came here to find you myself." Jiraiya said with a smile.
Not only that, he even first used the words "Hanyu had already agreed to this" to hook Tsunade, and then used the words "everyone has already participated" to persuade Hanyu. After all, everyone was a member of the same team before, and they had a good relationship privately, and Hanyu was so free, so he would not just not give him this little face.
Jiraiya must also be a genius in event planning.
However, why is this idiot laughing? There are both Hanyu and Tsunade, and he is the middleman. So who is the loser in the end? Just think about it and you will know.
Seeing that Hanyu ignored him and continued to tease his cat, Jiraiya cleared his throat again and continued, "Ahem, as a so-called ninja, everyone has a self-evaluation, but this subjective judgment is never objective. A ninja's self-evaluation is often too high or too low.
After all, it is just a subjective evaluation, so it is normal to have some fallacies. However, for a ninja, errors beyond a certain range or slightly larger wrong self-judgments may be fatal.
Therefore, at this time, you need to return to the essence of life and relax yourself. Ninja is just a kind of life, so as long as you temporarily get rid of that tense state, wait until your mind is completely calm, and then look back, you will be able to find where you are. "
It's a long-winded argument, and it's not at all new.
So Hanyu had no choice but to surrender... In order to prevent this guy from continuing to nag him, Hanyu decided to go to the so-called picnic.
It's just because of this, this decision definitely has nothing to do with Tsunade.
Hanyu put the black cat on his shoulder, then walked to the door in his casual clothes. He casually put on a pair of shoes and went out without any equipment.
Jiraiya walked around outside for a while and met Hanyu at the door, and then they walked down the stairs together.
"What you just said is totally unlike anything you would say."
While walking down the stairs, Hanyu casually commented on what Jiraiya had just said, and this kind of comment was... it was definitely not something that the current Jiraiya could say.
Perhaps it will be thirty years before he can come up with this kind of cliché that sounds reasonable but is actually completely useless.
"Did you hear that? This is what Sarutobi-sensei said to me before."
"Sandaime... That's indeed the Sandaime's style, Jiraiya. Listen less to his long speeches. It will at least help you live a few more years."
"…"
"Nothing, just pretend you didn't hear me, and I'll pretend I didn't say anything... Jiraiya, did you prepare for the picnic you mentioned in advance? It's not like we're left empty-handed now, right?"
"Don't worry , I've been prepared for this."
Well, Jiraiya didn't care about Hanyu "blackening" the Third Hokage, as if he was already used to this kind of thing.
Jiraiya led the way, and Hanyu followed beside him. The two of them, one in front and one behind, soon arrived at the picnic spot that Jiraiya had chosen in advance.
This is another river that runs across the Hidden Leaf Village from the periphery. There is a forest not far from the river bank. On a clean river beach, Hanyu can see from afar the charcoal grill, fresh ingredients placed on a large rock, and even a small tent.
In a sense, this river is much more famous and familiar than the hot spring river near Hanyu's home, because it is called Nanhe River.
"Jiraiya, why are you slower than us?"
At this time, Tsunade and Orochimaru had already arrived here, and after seeing the arrival of Hanyu and the other person, Tsunade immediately began to complain... After all, these two were late.
Orochimaru naturally showed up as well. Although he didn't like this kind of activity, he hated his house being demolished even more, so he could only weigh the two evils and choose the lesser of them.
Hanyu and Jiraiya looked at each other, as if everything was self-explanatory.
"We took in the scenery on the way, so we were a little slow," Hanyu said.
This question should be answered by him, because if he answers, the question will end here. But if Jiraiya answers, then Tsunade will keep asking questions... If she asks where the two of them were and what scenery they saw, how should she answer?
The black cat standing on Hanyu's shoulder jumped down immediately after seeing Tsunade, and then jumped into Tsunade's arms in two or three steps... It was smart and easily found the softest place within a kilometer radius.
"Everyone is here, let's get started."
Hanyu walked to the tent, looked inside, and took out a fishing rod.
Now is no longer the time when he had to be a nanny and cook for the children as in previous years, so he chose to go fishing.
This is the easiest job, and it doesn't even matter whether you can catch the fish or not.
The charcoal fire was lit, followed by a chaotic bustle and the sizzling sound of hot oil.
Hanyu was sitting on a rock by the river fishing, and surprisingly, he had good luck sometimes. He put the bait on, cast the hook, and then raised the rod, and river fish of varying sizes were caught on shore.
Does this mean that people like Hanyu have also started to have good luck?
Tsunade helped deliver Hanyu's harvest to the "chef" Orochimaru, so that he, who had always wanted to watch the fun and do nothing, also started to work.
"Orochimaru...you are exaggerating a bit, who can eat this?"
After a while, a cry of surprise was heard from Tsunade.
Hanyu looked back, then started laughing... Orochimaru wasn't processing the food, he was clearly dissecting it.
The fish he handles are very clean, and the fish eyes, gills, fins, scales and even bone spurs are all specially classified.
The dining table was turned into a laboratory, and it seemed as if the barbecue grill was filled with the smell of chemicals.
So Orochimaru was driven away by Tsunade, and Hanyu had a new fishing partner.
This kind of activity... Although he was somewhat resistant beforehand, after experiencing it, Hanyu felt pretty good about it.
Even Orochimaru's cold face actually had a barely perceptible smile.
However, I wonder how many times a person can experience the so-called "quiet beauty" that is so memorable in his or her lifetime?
The world of ninjas is always the world of ninjas.
