"That location...is a research base set up during the Second Generation, right?"

"Well, if I remember correctly, it was to study Wood Style."

“Third Generation, have they restarted the Wood Style project?”

"The opposition within the Senju clan has always been loud, and it seems that tonight is a fight within them.

A group of Uchiha communicated in low voices.

As the only wealthy family in the village, Uchiha Road has many secrets.

Second Hokage's research on the power of his brother Wood Style was not a secret many years ago, and many Jōnin with high enough status had heard about it.

"Wood Style?"

Uchiha Kagami was also among the crowd, looking at the fire in the distance with thoughtful eyes.

The Wood Style project has been semi-abandoned due to lack of progress.

Did the sudden restart achieve any results?

"Or maybe they found someone who can research something?" Uchiha Kagami murmured, and the faces of the two people appeared in front of him.

—Xu Ming.

— Orochimaru.

"Perhaps, we can try it out?" Uchiha Kagami looked thoughtful.

Although he is the master uncle of Xu Ming and Orochimaru, he has a close personal relationship.

But Uchiha Kagami also has his own position and the identity of the Uchiha clan, which is something that cannot be abandoned.

Therefore, he must find every opportunity to seek benefits for the family.

Three days later.

After the research base was cleaned up, Anbu completely abandoned it and chose a new location to build another one.

The opposition led by Senju Zhihui all silenced, and all members of the Senju clan were banned from leaving the clan.

Others gave secret warnings, promoted and demoted in secret, and moved to unimportant departments one after another.

The higher-ups in the village, who were qualified to know, basically understood the situation.

No one disputes this.

Because the conclusion has been sealed, the leaders of the opposition are already dead.

"The Third Generation program has accepted a good student."

"Yes, Xu Ming can actually confront senior Zhihui head-on. His strength is not weaker than Jōnin's."

"He is only twelve years old and has a bright future."

"Orochimaru isn't bad either. He fought a Jōnin back and forth, and he was at least on the level of a Special Jōnin.

In the circle of insiders, many people expressed surprise.

Of course, the information they know has been deleted by Anbu and Third Hokage.

The version circulated is that Xu Ming held off Senju Zhihui until reinforcements arrived.

Orochimaru did not transform into a giant snake, but fought against the rebel Jōnin at the base. With the help of the environment, they struggled for half an hour.

Although this sounds surprising, it is not unbelievable.

Many people accepted this version.

Xu Ming knew that this was a form of protection. Although he felt that there were not many people who could threaten him now, he couldn't bear to refuse the teacher's love and care.

Therefore, this circulated version is also defaulted.

Forest in the mountains behind Hokage Rock.

"By the way, my current status is clearly that of a seriously injured person. Can't you let me have a good rest, Tsunade?"

Xu Ming looked helplessly at a girl with light yellow hair next to him.

There was a scent of shampoo with a refreshing herbaceous fragrance coming from the other party's body, which smelled very good.

Probably I just took a shower before going out.

"Am I bothering you here?" Tsunade glanced at Xu Ming.

As he spoke, he stretched out his feet and soaked in the pond water imitating the virtual sound.

Ten delicate and white toes swayed playfully in the water.

"That's not true, but I want to sleep, and I have to chat with you when you are here." Xu Ming glanced at him, then politely looked away and sighed.

"Then you're going to sleep?" Tsunade asked doubtfully.

"But you are here! You keep talking to me!" Xu Ming sighed.

"Oh, then I can just be quiet." Tsunade stretched out his hand and made a sewing motion around his mouth.

"You'd better be really quiet." Xu Ming glanced at her, closed his eyes with prayer, lay down on the big stone by the river, and began to take a nap.

Recently, or starting from the second half of last year.

The frequency with which Tsunade came to see him increased visibly.

In fact, the two of them had nothing to say. Either Tsunade was complaining about the trivial things that happened in her life, or she was watching Xu Ming doing various things.

Nothing interesting happens halfway through.

However, this situation can last for more than half a year!

This made Xu Ming unable to understand.

Twelve-year-old Tsunade lost the baby fat on her face, her facial features gradually opened up, and began to reveal the beauty and beauty of a woman.

Although she is still very young, her figure has changed towards being taller and curvier.

In theory, it's time to get involved with men and women.

It's not that Xu Ming never thought that Tsunade was interested in her, and he also considered what the teacher and Jiraiya teased him about before, but the problem is that he didn't feel any hormones at all when he got along with Tsunade!

The scene was as boring as two boys chatting.

There is absolutely no expression or gesture of liking someone!

"`"You haven't left yet?"

When Xu Ming woke up, he was very surprised to see Tsunade on the stone next to him.

The sunshine has already set to the west.

He slept for two hours, from three o'clock to five o'clock.

"Are you unhappy with me staying here?" Tsunade raised an eyebrow in dissatisfaction.

"No, isn't it because you are usually very busy?" Xu Ming explained quickly.

"When you are looking for reasons, can you please be a little more serious in your tone?" Tsunade glanced at Xu Ming speechlessly, but for some reason, he still accepted the reason and said seriously: "The training of medical ninjas has come to an end recently. , with available manpower, there will be a lot of rest time in the future.”

"Oh." Xu Ming touched his head and nodded.

The scene suddenly became quiet.

Xu Ming was a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

He felt that he really had nothing to talk about with Tsunade. Could it be that he was talking about medical ninjutsu?

That kind of thing was said to be bad a year ago (good Zhao).

"I said, Xu Ming, do you hate me?" Tsunade looked down at the pool and asked suddenly.

"This definitely doesn't happen!" Xu Ming immediately shook his head.

"Then why do you always show a distant attitude towards me?" Tsunade asked faintly as he kicked his feet in the pool.

Xu Ming sat up a little, turned his head and looked away.

He didn't know how to answer this question.

Could it be that "I think you like me, but I don't have anything in common with you, so I avoid you"?

This is so rude!

"Then let me ask you..." Xu Ming was silent for a few seconds, then decided to solve the mystery that had been entangled for many days and asked: "Do you like me?"

Saying that, Xu Ming turned around and looked.

His eyes met Tsunade's.

Then, he saw peace and calmness in those beautiful bright brown eyes.

"Yes."

Tsunade looked at him seriously and replied. .
