Chapter 556: Yecheng: My Filial Piety is Going Sour
Chapter 556: Yecheng: My Filial Piety is Going Sour
After leaving the Bird Country, Yecheng accompanied Tsunade and the others for two more days of traveling before finally settling down in the Land of Hot Springs.
Yecheng also stated that after soaking in the hot springs, he would be departing for Konoha today.
Despite not having a particularly strong affinity for the Third Hokage, he was still a part of Konoha, and he had many acquaintances in the village.
Every Great Shinobi War claimed countless lives, especially one particular battle in this war that would directly influence the later plot of the Shinobi World.
A certain angsty red-eyed brat, known as the most devoted in the ninja world, witnessed the tragic death of his beloved, pierced through the chest, and underwent a complete dark transformation. He embarked on a journey of power, even attempting to overthrow and change the entire ninja world.
In the past, Yecheng couldn't change the tragedy of the Second Great Shinobi War due to his limited strength.
But now, with his newfound power, he had become vastly different from his younger self.
In the current ninja world, there were not many who could make Yecheng feel apprehensive. Uchiha Sasuke was one, but he was now on the brink of death, hiding in a corner, barely clinging to life.
If Sasuke didn't make a move, Yecheng wouldn't mind taking him out ahead of time!
Unaware of the specifics of the Shinju Bridge Battle in the Third Great Shinobi War, Yecheng decided to follow Team Jiraiya this time.
According to the original plot, Kakuzu and Sasuke should manipulate Team Jiraiya to fight amongst themselves, causing Haruno Rin to become the Three-Tails Jinchuriki and go on a rampage. They would also orchestrate a scenario for Orochimaru to witness Kakashi killing Rin.
"Clap!"
As Yecheng soaked in the hot spring, his mind was still replaying the scenes from the plot he knew.
However, as the sliding door of the nearby Kushi's room opened, a figure with an extremely curvaceous body, wrapped in a bath towel, strode in.
When she entered the hot spring without a care in the world and sat down opposite Yecheng, her face relaxed and comfortable, Yecheng was left in a state of shock.
If he wasn't mistaken, this should be the men's hot spring, not a mixed bath! And as she sat down right in front of Yecheng, comfortably resting her hands behind her on the sides of the hot spring, Tsunade, upon seeing Yecheng's surprised expression, nonchalantly said, "You really know how to enjoy yourself. You set up an illusion barrier at the entrance to this hot spring room, making it impossible for ordinary people to find it."
Yecheng had indeed set up a simple illusion at the entrance to the hot spring to obscure others' vision. Even when bathing, he wasn't used to sharing the tub with strangers.
But Yecheng hadn't expected Tsunade to walk into the men's side of the hot spring so casually after seeing through his illusion.
"The other hot springs are all crowded, and I can't enjoy a drink in peace. Besides, I'm not used to bathing with strangers, so I'll just take advantage of your illusion barrier this time."
Since it was a hot spring, Tsunade had already removed her bath towel upon entering.
Although Yecheng couldn't see anything with Tsunade's body fully immersed in the hot spring water, he shouldn't forget that Tsunade's chest was beyond the alphabet's reach. Even submerged, the curves she displayed were astonishing!
"No, no, no! This is still the men's hot spring!"
In this situation, if it were Jiraiya, he'd probably laugh in his sleep.
However, at this moment, Yecheng felt a bit constrained and uneasy. Tsunade was so generous, wasn't she afraid that he would lose his filial piety?
"A male hot spring? There's no one else here, so what's the problem?"
Moreover, you've set up an illusion outside, so I don't think anyone else can come in. Don't be so stingy."
Hearing Yecheng's emphasis on this being a male hot spring, Tsunade still didn't seem to care. She finished the sake in her cup, looking every bit like a female drunkard.
"No, no, no, Teacher Tsunade, did you forget that I'm also a man?"
It was only after Yecheng's reminder that Tsunade realized what he had been concerned about from the beginning.
When she saw Yecheng's somewhat uneasy expression, Tsunade was taken aback for a moment. Then, with a playful smile, she said, "I usually see you acting so arrogant, but this is the first time I've seen this expression. It's quite interesting.
But to me, you're not a man yet, just a little brat."
As a man, Yecheng wanted to prove himself.
But thinking of the person sitting across from him, Tsunade, he knew that if he dared to show any disrespect to his master, he would likely be punched in the chest in no time. So, Yecheng quickly calmed down.
"Today, you should be returning to Konoha, right? You might even go to the battlefield?"
Seeing Yecheng's conflicted expression, Tsunade stopped teasing her disciple and, after finishing her cup of sake, looked at him seriously.
"Yes, no matter what, I'm at least a Jonin of Konoha now.
Considering the brutality of past Shinobi Wars, even newly graduated Genin were sent to the battlefield. How much more so for a Jonin like me?"
It was certain that Yecheng would go to the battlefield, and with his abilities, he would likely be assigned to the front lines.
After all, with the 'Konoha Three Great Ninja' Tsunade away, Yecheng was currently the most skilled medical ninja in Konoha, and his summoning creature was even a Slug.
For a young genius ninja like Yecheng, who could both fight and heal, the Third Hokage would never allow him to idle in the rear.
"Although you're my disciple, I'm not a qualified teacher. I haven't taught you much, and I don't have the right to interfere with your decisions.
This is my grandfather's, the First Hokage's, necklace. I'm giving it to you as a parting gift.
Yecheng, you're more outstanding than Choza Senju and the others. And I do see their shadows in you.
If it's you, you'll definitely inherit their will and become the Hokage! And you must promise me to stay alive!"
When Yecheng saw Tsunade take off a green crystal necklace from her fair neck and heard her words, he was completely dumbfounded.
Wait, when did he ever say he wanted to become the Hokage? The First Hokage's necklace, the dream of becoming the Hokage, and if Tsunade were to add a kiss, it would be the legendary 'Deadly Combo'! He wasn't some fox-faced chosen one; Tsunade was setting the bar so high for him. She was filling his 'Death Touch Passive' meter!
Yecheng had been quite confident about this Third Shinobi War, thinking that even if he encountered a dying Uchiha Sasuke, he could still give him a fight.
But when he saw Tsunade put the First Hokage's necklace around his chest, he felt a bit more apprehensive. Maybe he should put aside the matter of the Shinobi World's most romantic man for now?
