"Nara, bend down and lower your head."
"Um?"
"Bo!"
Nara Langui bowed slightly and closed her eyes ceremoniously to avoid sinking into the unknown abyss of white tenderness.
But at the next moment, he clearly felt two soft and plump lips pressed against his forehead. The warm touch had a hint of sweetness, which made people want to be intoxicated unconsciously.
Nara Langui suddenly opened his eyes, and quickly took a few steps back, looking at Tsunade unexpectedly.
"Sister Tsunade, what are you..."
“Careful blessings.”
Tsunade's green-white fingertips touched her red lips, and she smiled charmingly.
“As much as I hate to admit it, I haven’t had much luck.
"I originally wanted to use words to bless you, but after thinking about it carefully... it turned out that direct action is more suitable for me!"
Nara Langui raised her right hand and gently touched her forehead. It seemed that there was still some touch of Tsunade's kiss on it.
Seeing Nara Langui's gentle move, Tsunade suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"Tsunade-san."
Nara Langui suddenly said.
"The action just ended too quickly, and I didn't have time to feel it carefully, so...how about doing it again?
"This request may be a bit presumptuous, but I think it would be better if it was mouth-to-mouth."
After spending several months together day and night, there was no sense of strangeness between Nara Langui and Tsunade.
Therefore, he had no psychological burden at all when he spoke dirty words at this time.
What's more, this time it was the other party who struck first—the one who spoke first.
"Don't, don't get too carried away, Nara!"
Tsunade forced down the strange emotions in her heart, but she still stuttered a bit when she spoke.
"If something happens to you in the future...I won't let you off easily!"
"Sorry, I was too rash."
Nara Langui put his hands close to the seam of his trousers and bent down to apologize solemnly.
Seeing that his attitude was so sincere, Tsunade scratched her cheek with some embarrassment, turned her face to the side and muttered a few words in a low voice that she could not hear clearly.
"Actually, you don't have to worry so much..."
"So, Tsunade-nee."
Nara Langui straightened his back and started talking about business.
"The 'Ninja Team' you just mentioned, exactly who are the members of it?"
"You will know about this tomorrow!"
Tsunade deliberately gave it a try.
"I know your general strength, and the level of the teammates I arrange will not be too far from yours."
…
Farewell Tsunade.
Only then did Nara Langui have time to check the newly acquired A-level spell [Strange Power].
After several months of research, study, and experience accumulation, he clearly understood the extent of his strength growth.
Although there is no direct breakthrough, there is only the last layer of "window paper" before promotion.
As expected, after successfully acquiring [Strange Power], a series of message prompts popped up on the panel.
[Acquire an A-level spell [Strange Power], and your [Sage] attribute will be enhanced to a certain extent! [Ninjutsu] attributes are enhanced! Overall evaluation improved! 】
[Ninjutsu: A-→A]
[Comprehensive evaluation: B+→A- (film grade)]
"Leave the Jonin level and enter the Kage level!"
Nara Langui raised his right hand and clenched his fist suddenly. The chakra that was refined in an instant burst out suddenly. The air vibrated slightly with his movements, filling the air with circles of white air waves visible to the naked eye.
This is exactly the derived skill when [Strange Power] explodes - impact airflow.
With the billowing air wrapped around his fingers, Nara Langui had an inexplicable illusion that he could blow out the roots of an old tree with one punch.
The staged transformation of strength makes Nara Langui feel extremely happy.
Don't wait until the Fourth Ninja War in the future, gods of all kinds will emerge in endlessly and wreak havoc on the world.
The dignified shadows of the Five Villages were like a bunch of dolls being rubbed and played with by the "gods", without any strength to intimidate them.
But at least in the current era, "film level" is still very rare and rare!
Judging from Nara Langui's personal perspective, in the Third Ninja World War, there are only so many people who can be called "kage-level players".
His current level of strength, not to mention wreaking havoc in the ninja world and being unscrupulous, can at least be said to be "the lonely shadow in the world is my own."
But Nara Langui also knew it very well.
There is no end to the improvement in strength.
Film level is just a new starting point!
"Since several attributes have grown to B level, their growth rate has slowed down significantly."
Nara Langui's brain is very clear-headed.
"After being promoted to A level, the growth rate of attribute values can be described as 'turtle speed'.
"You don't need to pay too much attention to the several attributes that mainly affect melee combat strength. After all, melee combat is just my backup method.
"The key to everything is chakra!
"That is, [Accuracy], which symbolizes physical energy, and [Knowledge], which represents spiritual energy!"
[Sage] Attribute, Nara Langui can increase by learning knowledge and postures, and its growth rate is much faster than other attributes.
But for the [accuracy] attribute, Nara Langui has not yet found any other way to grow besides "working hard and taking drugs".
"In the final analysis, there is one point - if you want to increase [accuracy], you need to increase the energy absorbed from the outside world..."
The thoughtful Nara took Gui back to the Platycodon Orphanage.
During this time, the Platycodon Orphanage has undergone many changes.
In addition to the operating funds that need to be retained, most of the huge profits brought by opening a fried chicken restaurant have been invested in the construction and maintenance of the Platycodon orphanage.
The orphanage located in a corner of Platycodon City, under the careful care of pharmacist Nonoyu and others, lived like a paradise in the world, happy and peaceful.
Regarding the huge changes in the Platycodon Orphanage, everyone in the orphanage knew who brought it about.
Therefore, as soon as Nara Guifu returned to the Platycodon Orphanage, he received welcome greetings from all directions.
He smiled and responded to the greetings of the children one by one, and then directly looked for the pharmacist Nonou.
Pharmacist Nono U was currently in the newly opened nursery of the orphanage, teaching Chino babbling and speaking gently and meticulously.
"Mother……"
"Mmm!"
Nara Langui knocked on the door gently, and the pharmacist Nonoyu put down Qianno in his arms and let her crawl away and play in the cushioned room.
"Lan Gui, why are you back so early today?"
Pharmacist Nonou's forehead showed stains of sweat. Taking care of an energetic baby is not an easy task.
"Because the study task assigned by Sister Tsunade has been completed."
Nara Langui handed over the warm water prepared in advance and said softly.
"From tomorrow on, I don't need to go to the Drug Research Institute anymore."
Pharmacist Nonoyu took the water glass, drank it down in one gulp, and said with a smile: "It seems that your physical skills, Langui, have finally met Tsunade-sama's requirements."
"Yeah, but there's one more thing."
Nara Langui continued.
"Tsunade-sama said she would organize me into a ninja team, and then I would go to the front lines of the battlefield with the team members."
Hearing this, the faint smile on the face of pharmacist Nonoyu suddenly froze.
Since she was separated from her roots, she has been peacefully serving as a Jonin of the medical emergency team. Her main daily job is to take care of and heal the wounded sent back from the front line in Platycodon City.
Yakushi Noonoyu never imagined that she would not need to go to the front line to fight, but Nara Langui became the one to fight on the front line...
"As a ninja of Konoha, defending the village and fighting are inevitable responsibilities."
Pharmacist Nonoyu responded dryly, her conversation changed suddenly, and her tone could not hide the anxiety.
"So Lan Gui, when will you go to the front line? Are you leaving tomorrow?"
"Not sure yet."
Nara Langui hugged the pharmacist Nonoyu and gently patted her back to soothe her emotions.
"I need to get familiar with and cooperate with the team members for a period of time to increase our cooperation. Maybe we will perform a few missions together before heading to the battlefield."
Pharmacist Nonoyu bit her lip gently. There were a thousand or ten thousand things she wanted to say in her heart, but when the words came to her lips, she didn't know how to speak.
"Lan Gui..."
"Don't worry, Sister Nonoyu."
Nara Langui smiled and boasted.
"I'm very strong."
Time passed by and night fell quietly.
The moon hid in the dark clouds, and the quiet and deep night enveloped Platycodon City, making it difficult for people to see what was going on outside the city.
Just under the cover of this natural dark environment.
An extremely streamlined ninja force set out from the border of the Kingdom of Wind. After three days of rapid march, they quietly approached the eight mountains surrounding Konoha.
"This is the outermost edge of Konoha."
Looking at the mountains ahead, the leader of the ninja army, the old female ninja who wore a Sunagakure forehead protector, spoke in a hoarse voice.
“Next, we need to take down the warning posts hidden in the mountains... We must be fast!
"Our target is Konoha's medical center outside the village - the small town named Platycodon!"
There was no response. The Sunagakure ninjas in this small force took out scrolls one after another from their pockets and opened the scrolls directly through their own means.
boom! boom! boom! ——
With the sound of continuous smoke explosions, one after another ferocious figures of different shapes quietly emerged in the darkness, blending in with the group of Sunagakure ninjas.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the size of this sparse ninja team instantly expanded to hundreds of people!
This is the most elite force in Sand Hidden Village - the puppet force.
Through chakra lines, the Sunagakure ninjas controlled their puppets, broke into the mountains and forests, and broke through the defenses of the guard posts as quickly as possible.
Looking at the Platycodon Castle standing at the foot of the mountain not far ahead.
The leader of the puppet army, Ninja, took out a scroll from her ninja tool bag, opened it instantly, and summoned her signature puppet.
"White Secret Technique: Chikamatsu Ten People!"
Regarding "Sunagakure's Raid on Platycodon Castle", this is a secondary setting of this book based on the content of the original manga.
There are special hints and foreshadowing in the previous article.
The "Battle of Platycodon Castle" has two sources of reference.
First, in the setting of "The Book of War", there was a "big war" in Platycodon City;
Second, in Chapter 272 of the manga, the Red Sand Scorpion commented on the "White Secret Technique" because Chiyo once relied on it to conquer a city alone.
This combines the two to form a new setting of "Sunagakure's puppet army attacks Kikyo Castle".
