Chapter 127: Chapter 127
Haruki opened his eyes.
Tsunade's face, covered in water droplets, came into his view.
He smiled.
This girl really wasn't afraid of dying last night, launching suicide attacks non-stop.
Unfortunately, his Sage Body wasn't fazed by such assaults.
Like moths to a flame.
Haruki's lips curled into a smug smile. It seemed he won the bet.
She knew she always lost bets, yet she loved to gamble.
He shook his head and got up with a long stretch.
Haruki opened the door and asked the innkeeper for some toiletries.
By the time he finished washing, Tsunade had just woken up.
She frowned, feeling a tingling all over her body, something she hadn't experienced in a long time.
Tsunade lay still for a few minutes, waiting to regain her strength, then got dressed.
"Here."
Haruki handed her a toothbrush already loaded with toothpaste and a cup of water.
Tsunade glared at him, brushing her teeth several times to clean away the bad taste.
Haruki leaned against the door, watching her with affectionate eyes as her graceful figure reflected in his gaze.
A system notification echoed in his mind.
[Congratulations on soaking in the hot spring with Tsunade for the first time. Considering your current strength, the system will undergo a functional upgrade. Please wait two hours.]
Haruki was surprised.
He thought he didn't need the system anymore, as he was just short of obtaining a pair of Rinnegan or Tenseigan.
But he didn't expect the system could upgrade.
Not bad, quite competitive.
Haruki glanced at the countdown timer, looking forward to the system's new features.
After brushing her teeth, Tsunade took a shower.
"Let me help!"
Haruki quickly took over the lipstick, bent down, and carefully applied it to her lips.
When he finished, Tsunade said, "Now you're being diligent."
"Wasn't I diligent last night?"
Haruki took a step back, admiring his work—a layer of translucent red on her lips that held a subtle allure.
Tsunade frowned at his words and snapped, "What did you say?"
"I said nothing."
Haruki put away the lipstick and came behind her, combing her hair.
Tsunade smiled helplessly.
Really, this guy only knows how to bully me.
Haruki tied her hair into a ponytail and tucked the strands behind her ears, revealing her earlobes.
They left the hot spring and walked to the street.
It was already noon.
"Boss, two bowls of tonkotsu ramen, please."
Haruki pulled Tsunade into a corner seat and placed his hand on her belly. "Hungry?"
"Hungry."
Tsunade grabbed his hand and put it on the table. "Behave and wait for the food."
Haruki propped his chin, smiling as he looked at her.
Tsunade felt a bit flustered under his gaze and looked away.
She changed the topic, asking, "Leaving Obito and the others with Kakuzu, will they be alright?"
"No problem. All three of them, no, all four of them have my Flying Thunder God seal. If anything happens, I'll be there in an instant."
Haruki smiled confidently.
"If Kakuzu does anything stupid, I'll show him what real suffering is."
Tsunade nodded.
She had to admit, Haruki's aura was captivating.
It made her heart race.
Since they were in a ramen shop, they didn't do anything inappropriate.
After eating their fill, Haruki spread his senses and quickly found Kakuzu and the others.
He grabbed Tsunade, and with a flash of white light, they disappeared.
Kakuzu, leaning against a tree and watching the three students train, immediately felt a twitch in his eyelid.
Haruki and Tsunade appeared before him.
Damn it!
He maintained a calm expression, saying, "I followed your instructions and am teaching your three students."
Haruki glanced at him, then at the trio, who hadn't stopped their training despite his arrival.
"Good. I thought you might run."
"...Please trust my professional ethics."
Run? You have Flying Thunder God; how could I run?
It's like playing a battle royale game, encountering a never-ending shrinking safe zone.
Kakuzu could only accept his fate.
Haruki noticed his subtle expression but didn't expose it.
He said nothing more, watching the training for a while before asking, "Have you eaten lunch?"
"No," the three answered in unison.
"Let's go eat, then head to the next location."
Haruki took them to eat ramen, then headed straight to the port.
Next stop, the Land of Iron.
The Land of Iron is a rare neutral country that doesn't participate in the conflicts of the five great nations and villages.
It's often used as the site for the Five Kage Summit.
The Land of Iron is also the Land of Samurai, without any ninjas, but a group of skilled swordsmen.
However, it's not just about swordsmanship; they can infuse chakra into their swords to increase their power, even creating sword beams.
To Haruki, it was similar to the techniques of Hatake Sakumo.
The reason for choosing the Land of Iron was Kakashi.
As his student, Kakashi shouldn't be too weak.
He possessed the swordsmanship of Konoha's White Fang, but apart from his father, he hadn't sparred with others.
And Konoha had only one such sword expert, Hatake Sakumo.
But it's difficult to achieve life-or-death pressure in a father-son duel, leading to slow progress.
The Land of Iron has many samurai.
Their leader, Mifune, was renowned as a master of Iai techniques.
His battle records in the original work were also impressive.
For Kakashi to become a master of kenjutsu, he must experience combat.
The vast sea.
A sailboat sailed towards the Land of Iron, propelled by the chakra of Obito, Kakashi, and Rin.
Haruki found a fishing rod and leisurely started fishing.
Kakuzu couldn't help but complain. Fishing on a sailboat? That would be a miracle.
In his past life, Haruki and his father were fishing enthusiasts, often spending weekends fishing in reservoirs or rivers.
Looking at the ocean now, he felt sentimental. He wasn't just fishing.
Half an hour later, the system reactivated.
Haruki quickly looked at the introduction of the new features.
There were two: one allowed him to specify the range of rewards, the other allowed him to gift rewards to those with a close relationship.
As for how close the relationship needed to be, the system provided a favorability module.
Everyone he knew was on it.
Tsunade had a full score of 100.
Obito was 80, Kakashi 65, Rin 65, Kakuzu -90.
As long as the score was above 60, he could gift them.
Haruki rubbed his chin, surprised that Obito's favorability was so high.
Tch, the Uchiha clan really is full of two-faced people.
[You have one unclaimed reward. Please specify the range.]
[Swordsmanship.]
[You have received the reward, Miyamoto Musashi's Swordsmanship, Niten Ichi-ryū.]
[You have achieved the Void Sword Realm.]
Haruki closed his eyes as countless pieces of information flooded his mind.
In an instant, he became a swordsman comparable to Miyamoto Musashi.
"This is Musashi from FGO."
Haruki opened his eyes, murmuring to himself.
He felt an indescribable mental power.
No-Void, the pinnacle of swordsmanship.
Haruki stood up.
"Kakashi, lend me your short sword."
Niten Ichi-ryū, or Two Heavens as One, uses both a long and short sword.
The long sword is a standard katana, while the short sword is a wakizashi.
Haruki grasped Kakashi's short sword and used chakra to form a long sword.
"Teacher, what are you doing?"
Kakashi and the others looked puzzled.
Haruki smiled slightly.
Recalling the knowledge in his mind, his chakra surged wildly, causing wind and waves to rise on the sea.
Behind him, a faintly visible, terrifying figure appeared.
A menacing four-armed deity.
Haruki slashed out with his sword.
The sky darkened as the world split, leaving only the beautiful, dazzling sword light shooting up to the sky.
The sea parted, creating hundred-foot-high waves.
In an instant, a storm descended.
This was Musashi's Six Realms Five Rings: Kurikara Tensho.
