Konoha: The seal art teacher of the ninja school

Chapter 235 Gossip
It's a pity that this beautiful and tender picture cannot last forever like a photo.

In fact, it didn't take long for Tsunade's cry of pain to reverberate in the courtyard, breaking the beautiful atmosphere at once.

She didn't know what she said wrong, but Mito, who was still smiling, grabbed her ear.

Sure enough, after the long-lost reunion subsided, Tsunade, the prodigal girl who ran away from home, was addicted to gambling, and owed a large gambling debt to the Senju clan, still made Mito's anger rise again.

And even Tsunade, who is one of the Sannin, is completely unable to resist at this time, and dare not resist, so he can only beg for mercy pitifully:

"... Pain, pain, grandma, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare anymore. - I've grown up so much, don't be like this! - There are outsiders here!"

As for Tsunade's various begging for mercy, Mito remained unmoved, until Tsunade mentioned that there were outsiders, her expression became weird.

Mito first glanced at Tsunade and Natsuhiko separately, then sighed and said:
"An outsider? Not to mention that Xia Yan is my disciple, but based on the relationship between the two of you, you can't be considered an outsider, right?"

"Xia Yan and I, what's our relationship?"

Tsunade, whose ears were still being pulled, forgot the pain for a moment, and asked curiously.

Not far away, Xia Yan, who was frantically recording Tsunade Kuro's history, also raised his eyebrows when he heard this, not knowing why.

As for Mito, who had just said that, he carefully looked at the expressions of the two of them, and seeing that they were all confused, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

With confidence in her heart, her expression became a lot calmer, and she still thought to joke:

"You don't have to hide it."

"I didn't expect that the journey I asked Xia Yan to go out to find you would lead to a good relationship between you two..."

As soon as the words fell, Tsunade fell into a state of downtime, and Xia Yan's expression was rarely tense.

He subconsciously glanced at Kushina, but Kushina just glared at him with resentful eyes, and then turned his head away from him.

really……

Mito's words provided Xia Yan with the last piece of the puzzle, and suddenly made him understand why the villagers and Kushina had such a strange attitude towards him.

It turned out that they thought they and Tsunade were on good terms...

In this way, the envy and jealousy of the villagers and Kushina's weird behavior have a reasonable explanation.

But this also creates a new question, which is why they think so...

Just at this time, after Tsunade's mouth was sluggish for a while, his overloaded brain finally finished processing what Mito said.

She pointed at Xia Yan and herself back and forth with trembling fingers, and said in disbelief:
"Grandma, you said that Xia Yan and I...?"

"How is this possible? Who is it that spread the word? I want to settle the score with him!"

The more she talked, the more angry she began to roll up her sleeves, as if she really only waited for Mito to report a name, and she immediately ran to the other party to settle the score.

Seeing this, Mito could only shake his head helplessly and said with a smile:

"I don't even know who spread it, but because of your identity, Tsunade, this rumor is well known in Konoha."

"—and more importantly, even the fact that you owed debts has spread throughout Konoha..."

As she said that, her anger level suddenly rose a lot, and the hand that was holding Tsunade's ear was exerted again.

"This time, Tsunade, you have given our Thousand Hands a big face!"

Tsunade's cry of pain sounded again.

After finally escaping from grandma's clutches, Tsunade covered his red ears and took a few steps back, looking at her warily.

After seeing that grandma was still, Tsunade had time to ponder what she had just said.

At this time, she also realized that when they returned to Konoha just now, so many people came to her to collect debts, and it seemed that it was also because of this rumor.

emmm... well, this part is really not a rumor...

And there are not many people or forces who can make grandma unable to trace the source.

After a little exclusion, Tsunade locked on a suspect...

"Tuan... No, it's Kakuto!!!"

Knowing about her debts and being able to borrow the powerful information network of the gold exchange, and the only person who has conflicted with her recently is Kakuzu.

As for the scandal between her and Xia Yan, Tsunade also had some guesses in his heart, probably because he thought Xia Yan's abnormal behavior when he died, and even the horns noticed something.

And in the subsequent trials, the correct answer of blood phobia was also ruled out because she wore the AR glasses, so Kakuzu probably attributed her strange behavior before to the extraordinary relationship between the two ...

The only question is, why would Kakudo do this?
The dignified and well-known bounty hunters, can they afford to lose so badly that they would smear them behind their backs?

Isn't this way too cheap?
At this time, Xia Yan, who also sorted out the context of the incident, showed a dumbfounding expression.

Compared to Tsunade's doubts, Xia Yan, who knew Kakuzu's obsession with money, felt that the reason behind this matter might not be too complicated.

Perhaps the source of the matter was that Kakuzu went to the gold exchange and exchanged his and Tsunade's information for some money.

Because in the ninja world, exchanging information for money is a rare and common thing.

Needless to say, top-notch figures like Tsunade, even Xia Yan, as a student of Mito, has actually begun to receive a lot of attention.

So the latest information about the two of them might really be worth a lot of money.

Having figured this out, Xia Yan was not only not angry, but he was also slightly relieved.

Because Kaku will expose Tsunade's debts, it means that he has temporarily given up on the idea of ​​targeting the two of them, so he will use this information in exchange for money to make up for the previous losses.

This is undoubtedly very good news for Xia Yan.

After all, being stared at by a shadow-level powerhouse all the time, even he would have some headaches.

The only thing that makes Xia Yan helpless is that according to the situation, the information on the moves he used in the previous battle with Jiaodu may have been completely sold by Jiaodu.

Although he had expected it before, he also took countermeasures to develop more new techniques.

But Xia Yan also knew that after becoming Mito's teacher's disciple, all his information would inevitably be carefully analyzed with a magnifying glass.

In fact, the biggest gap between Jonin and Jonin is also here.

Even the best ninjas, after performing so many missions, except for one or two unique skills, it is impossible for other intelligence to have many secrets.

Compared with the special jounin, the gold content of the real jounin lies in that even if their intelligence is leaked, they can always counter-kill the enemy and successfully complete the task.

It's like copying the ninja Kakashi's reputation throughout the ninja world in the future. Even a little well-informed ninja knows Kakashi's style of play, but he still has nothing to do with him.

Even Akai, who basically knows only physical skills, actually has mastered psychic skills and a way to break illusions. There is no fatal weakness, and other targets are under his heaven-defying physical skills. It will always be useless.

So rather than developing more new techniques, Xia Yan feels that what he should do is to integrate everything he has learned to form a combat system that can deal with various situations.

In fact, Xia Yan actually did this before, but this incident gave him a clearer goal.

And just when Xia Yan was reflecting on himself, Tsunade still looked distraught.

This may be because Mito later detailed the details of those rumors.

For example, it is said that Tsunade committed himself to Xia Yan, the owner of the game hall, because he owed too much money.

Or a comment about her old cow eating tender grass.

Some people even swear that Tsunade sleeps in Xia Yan's room every day.

"It's all nonsense!"

"Kakuto, don't let me see you again!!"

Tsunade gritted his teeth angrily, and said angrily.

——Well, it is true that she sleeps in Xia Yan's room every day.

And those explicit rumors were probably continuously processed during the dissemination process, and they didn't have much to do with the character.

Seeing that Tsunade would only keep repeating "Kakuto!", and couldn't explain things clearly, Xia Yan could only sigh, and stepped forward to tell Kakuto and their fate...

"I didn't expect Xia Yan that your trip would be so dangerous, and you would meet that guy from Jiaodu..."

After Xia Yan finished dictating and using the projection technique to replay the highlights, Mito said with emotion.

As she spoke, her right hand was itchy again.

Because if it wasn't for the fat sheep Tsunade, it wouldn't have attracted the coveted attention of bounty hunters like Kakuzu.

And if Xia Yan hadn't detonated the bomb of Kadotsu in advance, I don't know if Tsunade, the prodigal girl, would have lost all the family fortune of the Senju clan.

It's a pity that Tsunade seems to have expected it, and has already hid far away, and is ready to run away at any time.

Seeing this, Mito had no choice but to give her a hard look.

Then Mito stroked his cheek again and smiled:

"Speaking of which, Xia Yan, your idea of ​​moving the game hall is also very interesting. I would like to see it if I have the chance."

"And what AR glasses, I didn't expect to be able to solve Tsunade's problem, Xia Yan, you can always surprise me."

"—To be honest, at first I thought Tsunade would wear glasses because he stayed up late playing cards every day and broke his eyes. I didn't expect that it was your invention, Xia Yan."

"Compared to those of us traditional seal ninjas who can only make all kinds of ninjutsu, perhaps your thinking can bring this rune system to the extreme."

For Mito's praise, Xia Yan is naturally humbled that he still has a long way to go.

In fact, this is also the case. Regarding Tsunade's condition, his AR glasses actually only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

So if he really wants to completely revive Tsunade, who naturally has the same interests as him, Xia Yan may have to find another way to help Tsunade completely solve the problem of hemophobia.

At this time, Kushina, who finally confirmed that Tsunade's sister and Xia Yan had no adultery, also moved to Xia Yan's side unknowingly, talked to Xia Yan with some embarrassment, and then curiously asked him about the mission of this time detail.

Seeing that Jiu Xinnai quickly returned to his usual appearance, Xia Yan was inexplicably relieved.

Probably during the more than half a year of getting along, Kushina has become a part of his daily life.

So it wasn't until she returned to her usual appearance that Xia Yan really felt that she had finally returned to Konoha and that the mission had been completed.

Not long after that, Xia Yan offered to leave.

After all, today's protagonist is Tsunade, so it's not appropriate that everyone's eyes are always attracted by his inventions.

Moreover, he also recorded enough black materials of Tsunade, and he was already satisfied, so he wisely did not disturb the reunion of the three of them.

After politely rejecting their persuasion, Xia Yan left the Thousand Hands Mansion.

But when he walked out of the gate, there was another sound of footsteps from behind him.

Xia Yan looked back, and it turned out to be Tsunade.

Immediately, a scroll was thrown over, and Xia Yan caught it.

"This is the scroll that grandma asked me to give you, and it's even encrypted so that I won't be able to see it, so what's in it?"

Tsunade who just threw the scroll asked casually.

Xia Yan quickly realized that this was probably the bait that Mito-sensei asked him to find Tsunade at the beginning—the scroll of knowledge about the seal of spells.

So he said: "Since Mito-sensei won't let you see it, I'm sorry I can't tell Tsunade-sama what's inside you."

The matter of the curse seal is the secret weapon he uses to deal with Danzo, so the fewer people who know about it, the better.

"Hmph, it's so mysterious, who cares about it?"

Tsunade curled his lips and said, and then suddenly felt a little shy.

"Master Tsunade, do you have anything else to do?" Xia Yan asked.

Tsunade hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"There is indeed something."

"Since I'm back, there is one thing you should return to me?"
