The ninja village is the home of the ninja, and it is also the cage of the ninja.
After Hanyu and Tsunade left Konoha, they walked and stopped along the way, and their speed was very slow . The amazing thing was that this was not considered laziness... the nature of the mission he had to perform was like this, so there was no need to rush.
Previously, Hanyu said that he was going to carry out a mission to investigate the "customs and practices" of neighboring countries. In fact, he is doing so now. Since it is an "investigation", it will certainly not be done quickly.
He even worked very hard and diligently to carry out extra tasks, and took the opportunity to investigate the customs and habits of the Fire Nation - well, this was part of the mission, and it was not laziness.
It was not until seven days later that the two of them were close to the border of the Land of Fire. This speed was the ultimate speed of a ninja. In comparison , even a donkey leading the way would be faster than Hanyu.
Further ahead is the country of rivers.
"Let's disguise ourselves a little, and then we'll enter the Land of Rivers." Hanyu said to Tsunade before crossing the border.
"I'm ready for this."
Tsunade's transformation technique is unique. As she said this, she had already formed seals with both hands, and then immediately changed her appearance. In an instant, her whole person became more "mature".
"cough..."
Hanyu was a little overwhelmed for a moment, not because of anything else, but because Tsunade's appearance after using the transformation technique was very close to her most familiar image.
So isn't it good to be Tsunade's younger sister? Why do you have to be Tsunade's mother-in-law?
So Hanyu held her shoulders and said, "Tsunade, this is too exaggerated... We need to be more low-key instead of attracting attention."
Well, that makes a lot of sense.
Tsunade's face turned red. Well, her desire to perform made her forget the requirements of the task itself. She was a little embarrassed, but she still managed to mutter in a low voice, "I heard that you all like this."
These words immediately made Hanyu's expression serious, and then he began to correct Tsunade's thoughts.
Vulgar, would Hanyu be that kind of vulgar person?
"That's wrong. I'm not that superficial. A healthy body is worth appreciating, and a beautiful soul is worth pursuing. As for the rest of the 'appearance', it's just a cloud that blocks people's view."
"…"
It is not easy to explain the internalized quality of "beautiful soul", but the opposite sex with beautiful souls often have relatively consistent external characteristics. From top to bottom, they usually...
It is so delicate that it can be broken with a blow, so hard to be grasped in one hand, and its waist is as slender as a willow.
Plump and slender.
In a nutshell, "A Beautiful Mind" means "looking thin but feeling plump."
It has to be said that Hanyu's understanding of the opposite sex is truly insightful, elegant and as otherworldly as an "immortal".
In short, after the two people slightly changed their appearance, they quickly entered an ordinary town in the River Kingdom near the Fire Kingdom.
Ordinary towns are different from ninja villages, and ordinary towns in the Kingdom of Rivers are different from ordinary towns in the Kingdom of Fire. These small countries sandwiched between big countries are the ones that suffered the most in previous wars.
The war has ended for several years. Although Konoha was a major participant in the Ninja World War, the Fire Nation was isolated from the war. So now, the Fire Nation and the five major countries in the world similar to the Fire Nation have recovered, and even the rich land of the Fire Nation has flourished.
Places like the Kingdom of Wind may be poor, but that is because they have always been poor, which is caused by geographical factors.
Ninja villages like Konoha, which had suffered huge losses in combat power, have also begun to recover their strength.
However, this is not the case in the Kingdom of Rivers.
Even in the town that Hanyu and Tsunade entered, the traces of the war had not completely disappeared. Some people had vitality on their faces, after all, life was life, but judging from the overall state of the civilians, a considerable number of people still had numbness on their faces... They had not completely come out of the war.
I have to say that if the condition of the civilians in this town can represent the condition of the entire country, then the situation in River Country is actually quite worrying.
Hanyu couldn't help but frown. You know, this place is close to the Land of Fire, and belongs to the "rear" of the Land of Rivers which was less damaged by the war.
Let's look further ahead to see what's happening elsewhere.
Hanyu and Tsunade will not stay in this town. They come here just to buy some travel supplies. Although Hanyu brings a lot of things, they are all single-person supplies after all. Tsunade is just traveling with them temporarily, so she has almost nothing with her.
In fact, such "resource replenishment" has been carried out several times in the past few days. However, there is an objective truth that everyone must admit ... Women always need more things than men, even if the woman is a ninja.
The slightly sad thing was that Tsunade didn't even have any money on her, so no matter what supplies she needed, she had to do the shopping and Hanyu had to pay for it along the way... The only thing to be thankful for was that the two of them hadn't encountered a casino yet.
Or some smart people have consciously avoided such entertainment venues when choosing their route.
Scarcity of supplies and underdeveloped commerce are the inherent impressions that this poor town of River Country leaves on travelers. Even after walking around the town, Tsunade finally bought what she needed, and not everything was available.
Then the two left the town and continued to move westward, but half a day later, the sky became dark.
So the two of them built a bonfire in a forest, prepared some simple food, had their meal, and then leaned against a big tree to rest for the night.
The night in late winter was still chilly, so the flickering bonfire burned all night long.
Hanyu and Tsunade sat together, and then he surrounded them with a blanket, leaving only their heads exposed.
At this time, Tsunade only needed to turn her eyes to see a small part of Hanyu's collarbone exposed under his thin clothes, as well as half of a thin black circle under the collarbone.
This is the seal on Hanyu's body. Hanyu had explained this matter to her before, and this actually made Tsunade feel powerless and a little self-blaming.
It was precisely because her medical technology could not solve the hidden dangers in Hanyu that Hanyu had to adopt this method .
Hanyu himself had no complaints about this method, but Tsunade obviously didn't think so.
As for Hanyu's perspective… well, this time he finally suffered from his height.
He was about twenty centimeters taller than Tsunade, so at this time he could only see the golden hair on one side of Tsunade's head and the small and delicate ears under the golden hair.
From above, you can only see the original color of the blanket.
But...even if it's just the ears, Hanyu is a whole circle bigger than Tsunade's. I have to say this is really an interesting comparison.
The intensity of this journey was nothing for two ninjas who had participated in wars, but after nightfall everything around them became dim, and there were no extra activities in this wilderness, so the two began to close their eyes and rest, and soon Tsunade seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep.
Hanyu was more sober, firstly because he needed to be on night duty, and secondly because he was thinking about something.
Right next to his ear, Tsunade's breathing was steady and even.
Tsunade is a ninja, so even though she is a girl, she would never apply anything with a scent on her body like ordinary girls. That is a typical act of seeking death. However, the healthy and energetic youthful aura that she naturally exudes is something that is very intoxicating.
He breathed in her breath.
The cold air in the night is clearly choking the mouth, nose, heart and lungs, but some people feel a little dry and thirsty.
This is nothing, it just shows that Hanyu is a normal person, he just hasn't figured it out yet.
The crackling sound of burning firewood only makes the sleep deeper, and in the middle of the night, scattered snowflakes begin to float in the sky.
However, there was no need for the two to move, as the evergreen canopy of the ancient tree behind them opened up a small, clean circular area like a giant umbrella… Snow fell outside, but it was still warmer here.
Well, it's still a bit cold actually.
Hanyu leaned towards Tsunade, and the two of them stood close together, which was considered "hugging together for warmth", and then... he had to start distracting himself.
Why does the girl's body temperature seem to be higher than his? Scientific analysis shows that this is related to fat. It is said that the body fat percentage of normal men is between 10 and 20, and that of women is between 20 and 30. However, the body fat percentage of the pig, which is always called "fat as a pig", seems to be only about 15.
Of course, ninjas and fat otakus are excluded.
Ninjas have more slender bodies and lower fat ratios, but even among ninjas, women are taller than men.
Hanyu's "cautiousness" was actually a wrong example. He should have hugged her at this time, but as mentioned before, he was a bit timid.
Wouldn't it be terrible if I got beaten?
And wouldn't it be worse if he didn't get beaten?
Hanyu's shoulders shook slightly, and at this moment, a tiny slug slowly poked its head out.
"Hanyu-sama, your face is like frost falling on snow, and your kiss is like frost on snow..."
What is it implying... No, what is it stating?
Katsuyu is indeed a creature that has lived for so many years. Is it a slug with culture, or... who taught it to say this?
This wet and cold creature seems to be quite good at fanning the flames, so... is it interested in human sexual intercourse? Want to study and visit it?
"Katsuyu, it's so cold, don't you hibernate?"
Hanyu reached out his hand and pushed the slug back with a little annoyance.
A gust of wind blew, and scattered snowflakes stuck to Tsunade's golden hair, so she buried her face in the blanket involuntarily... With Hanyu next to her, she slept peacefully.
But Hanyu seemed to be even more confused.
It was much messier than Tsunade's hair which was entangled with Rikka's.
