Chapter 114 Dinner Party, Cat-eared Girl
Xingyuan Qianshuo walked towards the four students who were cultivating.
Shizune no longer practices water ball manipulation, but instead exchanges training methods with Rin. She holds a white feather in her hand, holds her breath and concentrates, using chakra to make the feather float.
Lin held the water sphere in her hands, focusing intently on maintaining its shape.
On the other side, Hanfang and Tie also exchanged their training programs.
Hanfang seems to be better at sand table painting, while Tie can easily use fingertip chakra to carve words on wooden boards.
Xingyuan Qianshuo paused to observe for a moment, recalling the four "beginner tutorial scrolls" that the system had rewarded him with.
Since the system never explains the specific usage of items in advance, he decided to try using one first.
With a slight thought, a light red scroll in the inventory began to flicker.
Xingyuan Qianshuo immediately understood, looked at the four students, and thought to himself, "Sure enough, this scroll is meant to be used on them."
My gaze swept across the room and finally landed on Han Fang, who was drawing on the sand table.
The moment the scroll disappeared, Hanfang's mind suddenly cleared, his chakra flowed more smoothly, and he became more adept at controlling it.
He held his palm about ten centimeters above the sand, using chakra to manipulate the fine sand from a distance. The sand grains moved precisely, slowly outlining the shape of a herb.
After using the scroll, Xingyuan Qianshuo understood its effect: it could be used on students to greatly enhance their comprehension during cultivation.
It's an enhanced version of the "Benevolent Heart Inheritance" talent, with a stronger and more focused effect.
However, the reel's lifespan is limited; the basic version can only last for one hour.
During this period, students will enter a state of high concentration and continuously gain new insights and experiences.
Xingyuan Qianshuo did not hesitate and used the remaining three reels on Jingyin, Lin and Tie respectively.
Seeing that the four were clearly more engrossed in their activities, he didn't disturb them and returned to sit quietly a short distance away.
While looking after the students who were cultivating, he continued to cultivate his Earth Vein Perception Technique.
Twenty minutes later, the four of them showed excitement, clearly feeling their own progress.
Jingyin was the first to lose her composure, stopping her practice and turning to look at her companion who was still diligently practicing, then looking at her master who was sitting quietly to the side.
Seeing that the four of them had mastered the current training content, Xingyuan Qianshuo stopped them and said, "While you're in good shape, let's switch to other training methods. Jingyin, you continue controlling the water sphere, don't slack off."
"Yes, Master!" Jingyin quickly replied.
Time slipped away quietly during the practice, and an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
The three shadow clones dissipated one after another due to exhaustion of chakra.
In terms of Water Release ninjutsu, he has mastered "Exploding Water Wave"; he has tried to learn "Vacuum Wave" in Wind Release; and his proficiency with Flying Thunder God has increased by seventy-five points.
The Earth Vein Perception Technique, cultivated by the main body, has also crossed the threshold of the proficient level.
Although the four members of the Silent Ones were somewhat tired, their faces were filled with excitement.
Xingyuan Qianshuo looked up at the sky; it was nearly 4:30 in the afternoon.
The setting sun casts a golden glow over the entire forest.
He didn't force them to continue cultivating, and then told them to leave.
On the way back, the four of them whispered and exchanged their cultivation experiences, all feeling that they were in an unusually good state in the afternoon.
"Master, we've made great progress today," Jingyin said.
"Yes, I see. You are all very focused," Xingyuan Qianshuo replied.
"If only I could improve this much every day—"
"The key to cultivation is perseverance; one should not interrupt it due to fluctuations in one's state."
"Yes, Master."
"Lin, Hanfang, Tie, have you told your family about the dinner gathering tonight?"
"I've already said that, teacher."
"That's good. Let's go eat barbecue soon. After we eat, I'll use my shadow clones to send you home."
"Thank you, teacher!"
Upon returning to the hospital, Xingyuan Qianshuo first went to the dean's office to give a brief report on the mission.
They then went to Tsunade's office and, seeing that she had not come to the hospital that afternoon, created a shadow clone to accompany the four students while they waited for Hebi.
Sheci deliberately left early for the gathering and went to the on-duty nurse to register her departure.
Xingyuan Qianshuo's main body then returned directly to the Qian Shou residence.
I miss Tsunade terribly if I don't see her for a day.
With her fair and radiant cheeks, bright eyes, and alluring red lips, Xingyuan Qianshuo pulled her into his arms and lowered his head to kiss her deeply.
The sweet and tender kiss lasted for several minutes.
Seeing that Chisaku still showed no sign of letting up, Tsunade could only gently pat his shoulder.
Xingyuan Qianshuo raised his head, licked his lips, and stared intently.
Tsunade smiled slightly upon seeing this—she loved how infatuated Chisaku was with her.
I finally managed to persuade him to rest for a night last night, and he's so enthusiastic today.
"Let's go. They're just kids. Their families will worry if we go home too late," Tsunade said.
"Alright," Xingyuan Qianshuo replied.
The two walked out side by side.
At that moment, Hoshino Senju remembered that there was still someone in the house, so he asked, "Where's Kushina? Isn't it a bit inappropriate to leave her alone tonight?"
"Don't worry, Kushina isn't that fragile."
"All right."
"How did today's task go?"
"not bad."
Indeed, it's quite impressive that the three scrolls he mastered directly helped him grasp the Flying Thunder God Technique. Congratulations!
"Oh right, today is Shizune's birthday," Tsunade reminded her.
"Huh? Why didn't you say so sooner?" Hoshino Senju was surprised. "I didn't even prepare a gift."
"I'm all ready." Tsunade smiled and picked up the bag in her hand.
"What have you prepared?"
"It's a secret. You'll find out when I mute it."
"I'm her mentor, it wouldn't be right not to give her a gift."
"You're treating tonight, consider it a birthday celebration."
"Alright," Xingyuan Qianshuo had no choice but to concede, "I'll make it up to you later."
He suddenly remembered that he still had a cat-ear headdress—he had been "forced" to wear it for an afternoon by Tsunade.
However, that item has some sentimental value and is not really suitable as a gift.
Then, a thought struck him. He looked at Tsunade with burning eyes, a smirk playing on his lips, and thought to himself, "Tonight—maybe I can ask Tsunade to play the role of a kitten for me."
"What are you thinking about?" Tsunade noticed and gently patted him.
"Haha, it's nothing." Xingyuan Qianshuo took her hand and they walked and talked, heading straight for the barbecue restaurant Q.
"Greetings, Master." "Greetings, Lady Tsunade."
Snake Ci, Shizune, and the others were already waiting in front of the barbecue restaurant Q. They greeted Tsunade upon seeing her.
"Hello there," Tsunade replied with a smile. "Come on in, this is a barbecue feast you earned from your missions. Eat as much as you like, don't worry about saving money for your teacher, Chisaku."
She spoke jokingly, as if it were someone else's money.
"Yes, Lady Tsunade!"
A laugh easily bridged the gap between her and the children.
It was still early, and there weren't many customers at the barbecue restaurant.
The seven of them found a large table, and after Xingyuan Qianshuo inquired about their dietary restrictions, he took the initiative to order:
He ordered a deluxe beef set meal, chicken drumsticks, and pork belly, along with drinks for the five children ("four little ones and one big one"), and two large bottles of sake for himself and Tsunade.
He has a "program" tonight, so he can't let Tsunade get drunk.
While waiting for the food, Tsunade looked at Shizune and said, "Happy birthday, Shizune!"
"Ah—" the crowd cheered softly.
Lin turned and scolded, "Jingyin, why didn't you say so sooner?"
"I'd almost forgotten myself," Shizune said with a smile. "Thank you, Lady Tsunade!"
She stood up and bowed, her eyes slightly red when she sat down.
"You're nine years old now, and a genin already," Tsunade remarked. "But seeing so many reliable companions makes me feel much more at ease."
Her gaze swept over Lin, Hanfang, and Tie, and she secretly praised them: "The students Qian Shuo chose are all very good."
"I prepared a gift for you—" Tsunade took something out of her bag. "Ta-da, what do you think? Not bad, right?"
Several people looked over curiously.
"Is this...us?" Shizune asked softly.
"That's right." Tsunade nodded and placed the gift on the table.
It was a wooden carving the size of a textbook, depicting the heads of Jingyin, Lin, Hanfang, and Tie.
Tsunade added a touch of fun by arranging the four portraits vertically, which at first glance resembled the Hokage Rock statues.
Upon seeing this, Xingyuan Qianshuo couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade," Shizune said again.
Lin, Hanfang, and Tie were quite surprised—the gift that Lady Tsunade gave to Shizune was actually the portraits of the four of them.
The layout of this wood carving looks increasingly familiar the more you look at it.
They quickly drew a connection to the Hokage Rock statue that they could see every day when they looked up.
"Lady Tsunade, you are amazing!" Jabami praised frankly.
"Haha, it's nothing special." Tsunade laughed. "You guys didn't see the wood carving Kushina made at home today. She carved the Hokage Rock statue and even put Minato in the Fourth Hokage's place."
"Forehead----"
The atmosphere paused slightly—is this really a good idea?
"Don't worry about it. I even suggested that Kushina give the wood carving to the Third Hokage."

Although the others were unaware of Kushina's identity, they knew of Tsunade's status and quickly felt relieved.
Xingyuan Qianshuo found it amusing, never expecting Tsunade to make such a gift, which also allowed Kushina to vent her emotions.
"When I was thinking about preparing a gift for Shizune, I suddenly remembered how you used Wind Release to split the stone pillar, and that's how this idea came about," Tsunade explained. "When I was little, my great-grandfather often used Wood Release to make dolls and toys for me."
While we were chatting and laughing, the waiter brought out the meat platter, wine, and beverages.
Everyone filled their glasses and raised them in celebration: "Jingyin, happy birthday!"
"Thank you everyone!" Shizune responded happily.
Everyone drank it all in one gulp.
Subsequently, Sheci took the initiative to take over the task of grilling the meat, and Xingyuan Qianshuo was happy to hand it over to her.
Happy times always fly by. An hour later, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill.
Perhaps only Tsunade felt she hadn't drunk enough, but since it was a meal with the children, she didn't drink much, only having another bottle of sake.
Although it wasn't too late, to avoid worrying the parents, Xingyuan Qianshuo suggested that the gathering end.
After leaving the barbecue restaurant, he formed hand seals and created four shadow clones to escort the students home.
Tsunade invited Shizune to stay at the Senju residence for the night, but Shizune politely declined, saying that she had already made arrangements with her relatives to go back that night.
Xingyuan Qianshuo has not yet visited the homes of the four students, so this is a good opportunity for his shadow clone to familiarize himself with the place.
However, shadow clones are ultimately not suitable for visiting people's homes. After watching the four people enter the house, the clones were deactivated and the memories returned to the original body.
Back at the Senju residence, Hoshino Senju couldn't wait to lead Tsunade to her room, which made her playfully complain.
After entering the house, Tsunade patted him lightly: "Alright, you reek of alcohol, go wash up first."
"Yes, you're right." A glint flashed in Xingyuan Qianshuo's eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up. "Go wash up first, I'll wait for you."
Tsunade, unsuspecting, took her change of clothes and went into the changing room.
He listened intently—the sounds of water running in the bathtub and the splashing of the shower came one after another.
Then, he tiptoed and pushed open the locker room door.
The changing room and bathroom were located inside Tsunade's room and had never been fitted with locks, but at this moment they made it convenient for someone to "sneak in".
Amidst the rising steam, the pervasive fragrance, the warm yellow light, and the gentle patter of water—Yixing Yuanqianshuo felt a surge of heat rush to his head.
He quickly took off his clothes, revealing a muscular and well-defined physique, then knocked lightly on the bathroom door and opened it without waiting for a response.
"Ah—Chisaku, how did you get in here?" Tsunade exclaimed in surprise.
"Let me rub your back," Xingyuan Qianshuo explained gently.
Unfortunately, he was already on the verge of conflict, so his explanation was completely unconvincing.
Under the warm yellow light, Tsunade's skin was smooth and delicate, and her figure was curvaceous. He instantly transformed into a ferocious beast and pounced on her.
"No—Chisaku—" Tsunade said with a light reproach.
Tonight, the couple's bath was a success!
Cat-eared girl achievement, accomplished!
The only minor incident was that someone else also played the role of a "cat-eared man".
