Chapter 58 Licking the Dog

The Xuanwu family is very lively today because this is the last gathering before going to the front line.

Although Konoha has deployed 3000 ninjas on the border, Sarutobi Hiruzen knows that a full-scale war will not break out for a while, and at best it will be local frictions. Currently, the main focus is on prevention and building fortifications. Therefore, most of these 3000 people are civilian ninjas, and most of them are Chunin and Genin, with only a few elite ninjas to keep the situation under control.

However, the main force of the family ninjas rarely go to the front line.

In fact, the family ninjas are not much stronger than the civilian ninjas if taken alone. At best, they know some special family secret techniques. But when it comes to fighting in formation, they are no match for the civilian formations.

Because family ninjas are often better trained, they usually get along with each other, know each other well, cooperate well, and all know the same secret techniques, so when they use them together, it is quite awesome.

Just imagine, if one giant fist can't hit you, what about ten? Twenty?

If one shadow can't catch you, what about dozens of them?

You can resist the mind-confusion technique once, but what about dozens of times?

That is why family ninjas are the main force on the battlefield and often play a role in changing the situation of the battle.

But it’s no longer possible now. The war is about to break out and the ninjas from various families have to take action.

The three direct descendants of Ino, Shika and Chou naturally have to give their full support, and the heads of the three families, Akimichi Tofu, Nara Shikahei and Yamanaka Kiichi, will all rush to the front line.

The clan leader is going to the battlefield, and of course the other clan ninjas have to follow him, including Akimichi Genbu, Nara Shimizu and Yamanaka Yu.

The front-line commander of the three families was none other than the elite jonin, Sarutobi Shinnosuke, the green seedling of Konoha, who was only thirty years old but already very powerful.

On the eve of departure, the prince said he wanted to get together, which led to today's banquet, and Kato Dan, who made Akimichi Genbu extremely unhappy, also came.

Damn it, you little bitch, why don’t you go to the barbecue restaurant for the dinner? What’s the point of bringing people to my house? You even shamelessly brought that guy here.

I don’t know how Kato Dan knew Tsunade. There was such a beautiful girl in front of him every day, so how could she be familiar with him?

Moreover, the two of them seemed to get along pretty well and could chat very well (in fact, it was Kato Dan who took the initiative, after all, he was the prince's good friend, and Tsunade couldn't refuse directly, but when it came to Xuanwu, they could chat well, and she even added the word "very").

But in the original work, it was clearly at the Jonin conference after Rope Tree's death that Kato Dan started to interact with Tsunade!

In fact, what he didn't know was that if it weren't for him, the time traveler, Kato Dan would not have been able to meet Tsunade so early (at a dinner more than two years ago). Tsunade's beautiful face conquered Kato Dan in just one meeting.

He fell in love with Tsunade at first sight and has been unable to let go of her ever since. If it weren't for the rebellion of the Five Temples last time, he would have established a relationship with Tsunade earlier.

Xuanwu is very busy every day, either completing missions or practicing and doing experiments. How could he possibly follow Tsunade every day? Through deliberate chance encounters in the Hokage's office, the two gradually became familiar with each other (Tsunade said that it was Xuanwu and Kato Dan who thought so, she never said it).

Why did he have nothing better to do than go to the rooftop to enjoy the snow?

Could it be that he has a brain disorder and likes to breathe air conditioning?

Or is it that he thinks the people in the house are too noisy and wants some quiet time?

neither.

There is only one reason, he is jealous!

Xuanwu was busy there, but Tsunade was chatting with Kato Dan as if no one was around (actually, Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya and Kato Dan were chatting, but in Xuanwu's eyes, there was only Tsunade and Kato Dan who was always attentive to her). He was so angry that he simply turned a blind eye and hid on the roof to think about life.

The main question he was thinking about was how to get Kato Dan to the moon without anyone noticing?

After the two returned to the room, a lively atmosphere hit them.

Xuanwu's uncle Tofu and aunt Sanae were sitting on the sofa chatting with the Prince of Konoha along with Nara Shikahei and Yamanaka Kiichi.

His lovely cousin Ding Zuo had been eating for quite some time and had already finished three large plates of fried meatballs. Lu Jiu and Hai Yi beside him had obviously eaten a lot as well and were groaning with fullness.

Orochimaru and Jiraiya, who had just withdrawn from the front line last month to rest, were talking to Kato Dan, but Dan's eyes kept glancing at him.

Xuanwu's two unscrupulous buddies, Nara Qingshui and Shan Zhongyu, are stealing a roasted whole lamb.

Minato was cooking in the kitchen, Kushina was helping out, and Nawaki was watching the fire where the meat was stewing.

This guy, Hatake Sakumo, secretly found a small corner to drink with an uncle, with a plate of peanuts and braised beef on the side.

The uncle had thick eyebrows and small eyes, and he was wearing a green outfit with a brown scarf, but his rough appearance revealed a lack of confidence. This man was Might Dai, the Eight Gates Ninjutsu practitioner whom Xuanwu had just met a year ago. But for some reason, since Sakumo met him, the two of them got along very well, and now they have become good friends who can talk about anything.

Including him and Tsunade next to him, that's everyone here today.

Ah, what a wonderful atmosphere. It would be perfect if we could send someone to the moon.

......

Because it was a buffet, there were no fixed seats. The two long tables were filled with food, including stir-fried dishes, stews, barbecues, various desserts and snacks, and drinks. Everyone was free to enjoy.

Xuanwu was cutting a plate of roasted lamb with an expressionless face.

It's not that I have a grudge against mutton, but...

"Tsunade, do you like orange-flavored wine?"

"Ah, that's ok, I can handle any wine."

Tsunade suddenly felt that the wine in her hand didn't taste good and wanted to change it. Just as she was about to reach out to grab other wine, a glass of wine appeared in front of her.

"You can try this, I think you will like it too."

"Sorry, the only thing that's not to my taste is the wine."

Tsunade avoided the wine that Kato was offering her and picked up another bottle to drink.

Kato Dan said without any embarrassment, "I'm so lucky to be your teammate this time."

"Well, it's OK. Please give me more advice."

Tsunade glanced at Xuanwu who was cutting mutton silently beside her, and was so angry that she didn't know how to help her out of the predicament?

snort!

Xuanwu appears calm on the surface, but in his heart he has already defeated Kato Dan eight hundred times. This dead licker follows you wherever you go. Teacher, can't you send him to the moon with one punch?

snort!

Even though he was unhappy, he couldn't let him have diarrhea. Was he the kind of person who gave people laxatives every day? Of course not. He was already a grown boy, how could he do such a tasteless thing?

Besides, he came twice and defecated twice, anyone would suspect something was wrong.

But can Xuanwu really endure this?

He silently said in his mind, "3, 2, 1."

Kato Dan blurted out what he was thinking, "Tsunade, your breasts are really big, they must be D cup."

Tsunade, who was sulking, looked at Kato Dan in surprise. This was the first time the princess looked at him straight in the eye today, but her eyes were unfriendly. "What did you say?"

He spoke very loudly and there were ninjas all around him, all of them had sharp ears and eyes, and they all looked over at him.

Jiraiya, who was dragged by Orochimaru and had no chance to come over, gave Kato a thumbs up and said, "Brother, you are really brave."

Orochimaru, who had already found the best angle to watch the show, showed his signature snake smile, which was a bit creepy.

Kato Dan realized that he had said the wrong thing and was about to explain, but what came out of his mouth was, "Can I touch it?"
