After a familiar spin, Lei Luo stumbled to his feet and subconsciously glanced around. The white walls suddenly came into view, along with the faint smell of disinfectant coming from the tip of his nose.
'Hospital?'
Recognizing his location, Lei Luo shifted his gaze and looked at a man and a woman standing next to him, as well as a toad lying on the ground.
The woman was about twenty years old. She was wearing a white coat that is common among medical staff. She had a good figure and a billowy chest. Her long blond hair was combed into a ponytail and there was a purple diamond pattern printed on her forehead. She was Tsunade whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
At this time, she was leaning against the wall with her arms folded, looking at herself with a calm expression, her eyes unwavering, as if she had been waiting for a long time.
The man was about the same age as Tsunade. He had short brown hair, a round face, and was wearing a ninja vest. Judging from his vaguely familiar appearance, Lei Luo felt that the man should be Tsunade's younger brother Naoki.
"Why am I here?"
After asking casually, Lei Luo turned his attention to Shima lying on the tiles. He was about to go over to help him up and ask him why he summoned him in the hospital, but he didn't expect Tsunade to suddenly answer:
"I asked Immortal Shima to channel you here, Lei Luo, there is something I want to talk to you about."
After glancing at Tsunade, Lei Luo squatted down, stretched out his palm to grab Shima's collar, and replied calmly: "Say."
"The rope tree awakens the wood escape."
"oh."
His eyes turned to the rope tree, and he saw that this old acquaintance who had changed from a boy to a young man was looking at him with a nervous and excited expression. Lei Luo thought for a while and commented briefly:
"good."
As if she didn't expect Lei Luo to behave like this, Tsunade's expression changed slightly. She put down her hands, walked up to Lei Luo, and asked seriously:
"Lei Luo, I don't think you can be unaware of it..."
"What does the power of wood escape mean to us in Konoha?"
Noticing the twinkling light in Tsunade's eyes, Lei Luo thought for a moment, made some guesses about Tsunade's thoughts, and simply asked: "What does it mean?"
After asking, Lei Luo patted Shima's back and saw that the old toad's eyes turned white and he looked exhausted. It was obvious that he was very tired when channeling himself.
On the other side, Tsunade's face suddenly stagnated, and she finally couldn't maintain her calm expression. She leaned over with a sigh, squatting down to keep eye level with Lei Luo:
"Wood Release is the signature ability of my grandfather, Senju Hashirama, the founder of Konoha, and the first Hokage, and it can also suppress tailed beasts..."
Raising his hand slightly to interrupt Tsunade, Lei Luo pretended to be impatient and asked: "What do you want to say?"
Taking a deep breath and suppressing the anger in her heart, Tsunade opened her eyes wide, stared at Lei Luo without blinking, and said word by word:
"I want to say, could you consider putting the rope tree in a more important position?"
Seeing Tsunade's furious look, Lei Luo was overjoyed. After a while, he decided not to tease this woman who was always showing off to him, and said with a slight smile:
"Tsunade, let's stop talking nonsense. I'll tell you the truth..."
Pointing to the direction of the rope tree with his thumb, Lei Luo showed a trace of regret on his face: "Wood Release is indeed the iconic power of the first Hokage. I don't deny that this ability is very memorable for Konoha.
"
"Besides, Mu Dun's ability to suppress the chakra of tailed beasts is real. The Research Institute has done tests long ago, so I know it. Also, don't look at me like that."
"If Shengshu had awakened Mudun a few years ago, then I would definitely train him vigorously, but now..."
Pretending to be helpless, Lei Luo spread his hands. Seeing that Tsunade's face was getting uglier, Lei Luo slowed down his speech and expressed his judgment and conclusion clearly:
"Let's not talk about whether Kushina and Minato still have the possibility of the tailed beast going berserk after Kumogakure's trip. Let's just say that if an emergency happens, wouldn't there still be the Uzumaki clan and Fugaku's Mangekyo?"
"Okay, I know you can't trust Uchiha, so let's take a step back..." He stretched out his arms to signal Tsunade, who was hesitant to speak, to quiet down first. Lei Luo continued calmly:
"The Mudun cell experiment of the Scientific Research Institute has now produced results, showing that there are already two children born from Mudun blood, the oldest is three years old, and the youngest is one year old."
"The rope tree...with all due respect, I'm afraid there is no market for it anymore."
Perhaps angered by Lei Luo's pretentious performance, several veins appeared on Tsunade's forehead, her shoulders were shaking slightly, and even her tone was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder:
"Using my grandfather's cell tissue for human experiments... Lei Luo, I usually don't bother to argue with you about this kind of thing, but you just said these words openly to me, in front of the rope tree..."
"Do you really not want even a little bit of shame?"
Lei Luo grinned indifferently and gave his answer without even thinking for a second:
"I even used my own cells for experiments, why should Senju Hashirama be special? Just because he is the first Hokage? Then I am still the fourth Hokage!"
Lei Luo's logic is obviously gangster logic.
Although Tsunade could find various angles to criticize Lei Luo, the purpose of her trip was not to be angry with Lei Luo. At that moment, she had to grit her teeth and said quickly with saliva flying everywhere:
"Just say it straight, Lei Luo! What will it take for you to be willing to vigorously cultivate the rope tree? Give him a chance to realize his dream?"
Seeing Tsunade finally showing her fox tail, Lei Luo secretly sighed at the deep love between brother and sister. He unconsciously glanced at Nao Shu with a look of unbearable expression on his face. Looking at the latter's expression, he curled his lips and replied.
He turned to Tsunade and said:
"Where you are..."
Pointing to the diamond pattern on Tsunade's forehead, Lei Luo praised it seriously: "It's very beautiful."
Without even a second of thinking time, Tsunade quickly took out a ninjutsu scroll from her arms and handed it to Lei Luo without blinking. At the same time, she added: "The Yin Seal, I just developed it this year.
It came out, are you satisfied now?"
Shaking the ninjutsu scroll in his hand, Lei Luo slowly put it into his arms. After thinking for a while, he turned to Shengshu and said: "Shengshu, you can follow me from today on. The Shadow Guards are still here."
It needs to be organized.”
Looking at Lei Luo's serious expression, as he witnessed his sister giving out his hard-earned work in exchange for the rope tree for his brother's future, he nodded reluctantly, forced a smile out of the corner of his mouth, and answered stutteringly.
road:
"Yes, yes, Hokage-sama."
Yin seal, regarding the art that Tsunade has been studying in the past few years, Lei Luo will undoubtedly receive some news.
Unfortunately, Tsunade's attitude has always been very firm, claiming that this is her secret ninjutsu, and she does not plan to hand it over to the village. It is specially used to train apprentices. Lei Luo is not easy to rob, so she delayed it.
Unexpectedly, today, he would get his wish and gain a master of wood escape. Lei Luo said that he was in a good mood at the moment. As expected, power is really a good thing.
