...
In the Death Forest.
Chiba Chiba's 10 shadow clones did not disturb each other, and each occupied a place.
Two of the shadow clones were practicing ninjutsu, one was practicing conventional ninjutsu, and the other was thinking about Chiba Chiba's new wind attribute chak, practicing wind escape ninjutsu.
The remaining 8 shadow clones were still two as a unit, and the training projects included illusion, physical skills, sealing skills, and training chakra control. With
such a large number of shadow clones assisting, coupled with clear division of labor and goals, Chiba Chiba's training speed was greatly improved, which was somewhat shocking to say. As
for Tsunade, Sarutobi Hiruzen also formulated a series of training plans for her based on her shortcomings, and arranged Tsunade's training time to be full.
Similarly, Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, and Jiraiya also received personal guidance from Sarutobi Hiruzen, and the same targeted training plan as Tsunade. Except for rest, there was almost no free time left.
However, the three of them did not have any complaints. Jiraiya, who was a lively person, worked even harder and patiently completed the various trainings arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen. After
a busy morning, there was an hour of rest at noon.
However, an hour was only enough for a meal and a few small talk. The five people who got together again took out their lunch boxes and sat in a circle to eat and communicate.
Sarutobi Hiruzen had already left early. He had to go back to deal with various government affairs in the village. He was very busy and not much easier than the five people of Chishima Chiba.
"I don't want to eat this."
"I want to eat this."
Tsunade sat on the side of Chishima Chiba, picked up a carrot and put it into Chishima Chiba's lunch box, and picked up a chicken leg from it and ate it.
Looking at Tsunade lovingly, Chishima Chiba also picked up another chicken leg from the lunch box and gave it to Tsunade, which made her smile.
Tsunade could not refuse meat, especially chicken. As for fruits and vegetables, Tsunade especially hated all kinds of radishes. However,
Uzumaki Mito, considering the balanced nutrition, would still force Tsunade to eat some food that she didn't like.
Tsunade couldn't resist at the dinner table, but now, she threw all the food she hated to Chishima Chiba.
Fortunately, Chishima Chiba was not picky about food, and everything she ate was delicious. It was just a little carrot, which was a small matter of two bites.
But Jiraiya, who was standing by, looked at Chishima Chiba's lunch box and immediately had a little idea.
He picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks.
Chishima Chiba looked up at Jiraiya, and seeing that he was smiling, he didn't argue with him.
But with Tsunade and Jiraiya taking the lead, Hatake Sakumo also picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks.
"I like fish." Hatake Sakumo said vaguely.
Orochimaru was not willing to be left behind, and took the last piece of fish in Chishima Chiba's lunch box with chopsticks, "It looks good, I want to try it too."
"Hey, you guys are going too far!" Chishima Chiba looked at the empty lunch box and finally couldn't help but condemn.
"Hahaha..."
The only answer to Chishima Chiba was the laughter of the crowd, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
"Then I'll give you my spinach."
"I'll give you some of my seaweed."
"Forget it, I'll give you a piece of tenderloin after eating a piece of your fish, right?"
"I'll still feed Chiba some radish..."
The four of them talked one after another, and Chiba Chiba's lunch box was filled with various ingredients again, which made Chiba Chiba's expression much more relaxed.
The lunch break is always short, and the happy time is even more fleeting. After
lunch, the five people returned to their own training grounds and continued the various training tasks arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
It was not until the sun set that the five people wiped the sweat from their foreheads and gathered together again.
"See you tomorrow!"
The five people waved goodbye to each other, still Orochimaru and Jiraiya, Chiba Chiba, Tsunade, and Hatake Sakumo together.
Chiba Chiba and the other two talked and laughed on the way, but in less than 20 minutes, Chiba Chiba and Tsunade were the only ones left in the trio.
Chiba Chiba behaved very honestly and did not take the initiative to hold Tsunade's hand.
But before Chishima Chiba took two steps, he felt his finger being touched, and the temperature of his fingertips was a little high.
Looking sideways at Tsunade, Chishima Chiba smiled in his heart, and chose to take the initiative to hold Tsunade's hot little hand tightly.
Tsunade didn't say anything, but there were ripples in her bright brown eyes, and she didn't dare to look at Chishima Chiba who was so close.
The two little hands were held together and swayed again, just like before.
But the atmosphere between the two was different from before, with some special pheromones that were hard to explain between men and women.
After a while, Tsunade finally mustered up the courage and asked tentatively, "Chiba, do you have...a girl you like?"
"Yes."
"Who?"
"No one else but you."
"But do you know what love is?" Tsunade was a little impatient, thinking that Chishima Chiba's "like" was different from her own "like".
"Holding your hand like this is love."
Chishima Chiba's faint whisper floated into Tsunade's ears, and the latter's ears immediately turned red.
She wanted to say it more clearly, but the girl's sense of shame wouldn't let her do so.
"That's not liking." Tsunade said in a low voice.
"Then what is liking?" Chishima Chiba asked back.
"It's... it's... the kind of liking that makes your heart beat really fast... not the kind of liking that comes from habit..."
Chishima Chiba was a little dazed, thinking that Tsunade's current thoughts were very dangerous.
The forbidden fruit can't be eaten casually!
"Don't we have to wait until we grow up to talk about that?" Chishima Chiba responded.
"But I'm grown up now!" Tsunade pouted, this was not the answer she wanted.
"Not yet."
Chishima Chiba glanced at Tsunade's chest, "Let's discuss this issue again in two or three years."
"Chiba!"
Tsunade's face flushed, and her free left hand patted Chishima Chiba on the back, "Don't look at her, she will grow up, I drink goat milk every day!"
"Then I'll tell you when I grow up whether my heartbeat will speed up."
Hearing Chishima Chiba say this, Tsunade's impatience slowly eased, but she said hard, "Hmph, by then even if you want to tell me, I don't want to hear it!"
"Then do you want to hear how I write your name on the cloud?" Chishima Chiba suddenly said without thinking.
"How to write it?" Tsunade responded immediately.
"Follow me!"
Holding Tsunade, Chishima Chiba led her to run away in the setting sun.
When the red sun completely disappeared in the horizon and the moonlight gradually became brighter, Chishima Chiba and Tsunade arrived at their destination.
Above the Hokage Rock, two small figures stood side by side.
"Hurry, I want to see."
Tsunade seemed very anxious, holding Chishima Chiba's hands and shaking them back and forth.
Chishima Chiba raised her hand lovingly and touched Tsunade's hair, and with the other hand, she broke free from Tsunade's hands.
"Watch it carefully."
Chishima Chiba reminded, and quickly formed seals with both hands. A noisy and harsh electric current sound rang out, and the whole right palm was tightly wrapped in lightning.
Lightning Release: Chidori!
But this is not over yet.
Chishima Chiba took a few deep breaths, and the lightning attribute chakra in his body boiled, and his mental power spread out, calming the restless lightning attribute chakra in the meridians.
The next second, the Chidori in Chishima Chiba's hand suddenly changed, and its nature change and form change were upgraded to one level.
The noisy and piercing sound of the electric current became much smaller, and the arcs emitted were even more undetectable. The originally irritable Chidori became much more docile.
At the same time, the arcs that spread and scattered in all directions converged and turned into a thunder ball with bright white light, which was restrained and unobtrusive in power.
All these changes seemed complicated, but they were completed in just a blink of an eye.
When Tsunade finished blinking, Chidori Chiba simultaneously raised her right hand, and a straight and slender column of lightning shot up into the sky, piercing through the low clouds in the sky.
Lightning Release: Chidori Sharp Spear!
Tsunade, who was standing next to him, watched all this, and her beautiful eyes couldn't stop shining. While looking up at the sky, she distractedly observed the movements of Chidori Chiba's right hand.
At this moment, Chidori Chiba danced quickly with one hand, and in just two seconds, he left a name and two symbols on the clouds with the Chidori Sharp Spear.
-Tsunade- "Wow!"
Tsunade
's eyes were full of ripples, and she opened her eyes wide and sighed, "Chiba, you did it, you really did it!"
Chiba Chiba retracted her right hand, wiped the sweat from her forehead without leaving a trace, and then smiled and looked at Tsunade sideways.
"Your name is on the cloud, are you happy?"
"Happy!"
Tsunade jumped for joy and threw herself on Chiba Chiba, swinging like a koala and not wanting to get off.
"Is your heart beating fast?" Chiba Chiba asked again.
"Fast..." Tsunade buried her head in Chiba Chiba's chest, breathing unsteadily and her figure was as thin as a mosquito.
"In that case, my likes are no different from your likes."
Chiba Chiba put one hand around Tsunade's waist, and lifted her head with the other hand, and tidied up the dark golden hair covering her forehead for Tsunade.
Because of the height difference, Tsunade tilted her head at this time, and looked into Chiba Chiba's eyes, with their bodies pressed together.
Dong, Dong, Dong.
A strong and rapid heartbeat came, and Tsunade in Chishima Chiba's arms could feel it very clearly.
Her eyelashes trembled, and Tsunade tiptoed lightly, getting closer to Chishima Chiba.
At the same time, Chishima Chiba looked down at Tsunade and saw the light flashing in her eyes.
That was love, and also love.
A breath was barely detectable, but the heat flow carried the smell of Tsunade, gently brushing across half of Chishima Chiba's face, warm, numb and itchy.
Chishima Chiba smiled dotingly, lowered her head very cooperatively, and put her lips on Tsunade's forehead.
It lasted for one or two seconds, and Chishima Chiba raised her head again.
Just as she was about to speak, Tsunade was relentless. Her hands no longer hugged Chishima Chiba's waist, but instead wrapped around Chishima Chiba's neck and pulled down hard.
Chishima Chiba suddenly lowered her head, her eyes widened instantly, and what she saw was Tsunade's trembling eyelashes and her eyes that had already closed their eyelids.
Taking a breath, Tsunade's smell became stronger.
At the same time, Tsunade's cheeks turned red, and her tightly closed eyes trembled and opened a crack, just in time to be caught by Chishima Chiba.
Pushing Chishima Chiba away, Tsunade turned and ran away, feeling that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
The thing that grandma didn't allow her to do was actually... so wonderful and exciting.
Chishima Chiba looked at Tsunade's back as she ran away, licked her lower lip with her tongue, and took steps to catch up with her.
The two ran and chased, and the distance between them kept shortening. Finally, after more than ten steps, Chishima Chiba grabbed Tsunade's hand.
Tsunade stopped running all of a sudden, and walked slowly beside Chishima Chiba with a red face.
Chishima Chiba didn't say anything. He really didn't expect Tsunade to be so bold. Her rapid heartbeat had not yet stabilized.
Feeling the warmth in each other's palms, the two walked towards home, but they couldn't help but slow down their pace, one step slower than the other.
"Chiba... Grandma said that this can only be done with someone you like."
Tsunade was the first to break the silence, with a fierce look on her face, "Anyway, we are already like this. If you dare to like another girl, I will... I will never talk to you again!"
"No." Chishima Chiba said very sincerely, "Never in my life."
"Then do you... like me?"
"Yes, and the kind of like you think."
Chishima Chiba finally hit the nail on the head for Tsunade, whose eyebrows curved into crescents and her expression became cheerful.
"I like you, Chiba!"
"I like you too, Tsunade."
"But I like you a little more than you like me!"
"Why do you say that?"
"You were like a fool just now!"
Chishima Chiba pouted, and with one hand, he pulled Tsunade into a circle and pulled her into his arms.
The two looked into each other's eyes again, and Tsunade did not close her eyes.
One leaned over, and the other stepped on tiptoe.
But Tsunade did not hold on for half a second, and then she closed her eyes with a red face.
