Naruto: Thousand Hands of Glory

As Yanagishita was immersed in his thoughts about preparing lessons in his office, he was suddenly interrupted by a brisk knock on the door. He looked up and saw Kushina standing at the door with a shy smile on her face.

"Brother Yanagishita, it's such a surprise that you came to our class today!" Kushina walked into the office and gently closed the door, "Everyone is talking about you, especially the fact that you became our substitute teacher."

Yanagishita smiled softly and closed his lesson plan book: "Really? I'm also very happy to study with you. By the way, Kushina, do you have any plans after school today?"

Kushina shook her head, her eyes gleaming with anticipation, "No special plans, what's wrong?"

Yanagishita stood up and straightened his clothes. "It just so happens that Miss Slug just sent me a message saying that Sister Tsunade has completed her mission today and is back. She said she wants to hold a party to celebrate my and Nawaki's successful promotion to Chunin. It seems that Brother Orochimaru and Brother Jiraiya will also come this time."

Kushina's eyes lit up instantly: "Really? That's great! Sister Tsunade? It can't be..."

Liu Xia smiled and interrupted her worries: "Don't worry, I will cook this time. Tell me what you want to eat, so I can prepare it on the way back."

A big smile spread across Kushina's face, and she said happily: "I want to eat the barbecue you made! And, that sweet fruit soup!"

"No problem, I'll take care of all this. Let's go, we'll talk while walking." Liuxia agreed readily. He picked up his coat, and the two walked out of the office together, heading towards home.

Along the way, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them. Yanagi and Kushina happily discussed the evening menu, and occasionally Kushina's silver bell-like laughter could be heard. Their mood was as bright as the warm sunshine, and they were full of anticipation for the upcoming family gathering.

"Hey, isn't this the legendary handsome little Yanagishita who can fight four people alone? Kushina, you'd better watch out, or some thieving cat might want to taste some fishy stuff." Tsunade teased Yanagishita and Kushina with a playful smile. Her words were full of jokes and intimacy, which livened up the atmosphere.

In response to Tsunade's teasing, Kushina's cheeks instantly flushed, and she stammered: "Sister Tsunade, I, I'm not..." There was a hint of shyness and embarrassment in her words, and she was obviously a little at a loss as to how to deal with Tsunade's teasing.

Yanagishita smiled lightly and didn't mind Tsunade's joke. He responded gracefully: "Sister Tsunade, you just tease Kushina as soon as you come back. Really, you don't act like an older sister at all." There was a hint of pampering and helplessness in his words, and it was obvious that he knew Tsunade's character very well.

Then, Yanagishita turned to Orochimaru and Jiraiya, and his attitude became formal and respectful: "Brother Orochimaru and Brother Jiraiya, long time no see." His voice revealed his respect for the two seniors and his joy of reunion.

Orochimaru nodded slightly, a rare smile on his expressionless face: "Yanagi, your progress is impressive."

Jiraiya laughed and patted Yanagishita on the shoulder: "Little Yanagishita, I heard that you have been very popular recently. Even a well-traveled writer like me has heard of you."

"Brother Jiraiya, what kind of writer are you? You are at most a small yellow mosquito writer!" There was a hint of youthful vitality in the teasing voice of Nawaki. He had just finished training and heard Jiraiya talking loudly before he got home. He laughed secretly in his heart and felt that Yanagishita's evaluation of him was indeed pertinent - Jiraiya was indeed an old pervert.

But when Nawaki's eyes turned to Orochimaru, his teacher, who was always known for his calmness, his expression became a little awkward. He always used to call him "big brother" casually, but now Orochimaru has become his teacher, which makes him feel respectful but also a little uncomfortable. Although he really hopes so, even if the Third Hokage does not arrange it, Nawaki plans to find a chance for his sister and Orochimaru to formally propose it.

Scratching his head, Nawaki saluted respectfully to Orochimaru: "Teacher Orochimaru, please take care of me in the future!"

Orochimaru smiled slightly, with a hint of warmth in his eyes: "You're welcome, Nawaki-kun, I've always been very satisfied with you." As he said that, he even touched Nawaki's head affectionately. Orochimaru, who has not yet begun to walk towards darkness, is still full of love for the people he cares about.

Jiraiya chuckled, patted Nawase's shoulder, jumped to the side and made his classic move: "Nawase, what's your future with Orochimaru? It's better to follow me. I guarantee you a constant supply of materials, ah..."

Tsunade heard Jiraiya's increasingly irrelevant topic, especially seeing that he was trying to corrupt his brother again, she stepped forward without hesitation and punched him, interrupting his nonsense: "Jiraiya, don't corrupt the child!"

Jiraiya rubbed the place where he was hit and smiled bitterly: "Aiya, Tsunade, I am doing this for the sake of Nawaki."

Everyone continued to chat in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Although Jiraiya said some ridiculous words from time to time, everyone understood that behind these jokes was their deep friendship and concern for each other.

"Ah, I can't eat anymore. The taste of these skewers is really good. Although it is extremely spicy, it is very memorable. I'm sweating all over. It's just right for me to get rid of the humidity from the rain in the Rain Country. I don't know what's wrong with that broken place. It has never stopped raining since we arrived. I've had enough." Tsunade, who was well fed and satisfied, lay on the sofa like Ge You without any sense of being a lady, complaining about the outrageous weather in the Rain Country. Her face was full of dissatisfaction with the incessant rain.

"So you went to the Rain Country? No wonder you came back full of resentment this time. However, the mission in the Rain Country requires the three of you to go out at the same time. Is the Sand Village making any moves in the Rain Country?" Liuxia asked curiously, his eyes revealing his concern about the situation.

When Liuxia heard about the Rain Country, he knew what was going on. Although he didn't know the exact time and place of the events in the original time and space, he still knew that the title of Konoha Sannin was given to the three of them after they were defeated by Hanzo, the leader of the Hidden Rain Village and the Demigod of the Ninja World, in the war between the Rain Country and the Hidden Rain Village and the Hidden Sand Village. This might be an honor for others, but for the three arrogant people, it was definitely a shame.

As for Hanzo, Liuxia thought to himself that he must learn the power of the so-called demigod. The world now is no longer the same as before. If Hanzo did not choose to let the three people go, or even killed them, he would definitely regret it. Sister Tsunade was also someone he had decided to protect well, not to mention that he had the power to never allow his sister to accept such a humiliation.

"Indeed, the situation in the Rain Country is quite complicated. The Sand Village seems to be plotting something there, and the Rain Village may also be involved." Orochimaru took over the topic. His voice was calm and low, revealing a seriousness that could not be ignored. "Our mission this time is to investigate their true intentions."

"That's right. Hanzo of the Hidden Rain Village's Salamander is not an easy ninja to deal with. Most of our losses this time are due to his poison. He is not very peaceful." Jiraiya continued to enjoy the food while updating Yanagishita on the situation of the Hidden Rain Village. His words revealed his vigilance and dissatisfaction with this opponent.

"It's Hanzo of the Salamander, so you guys better be careful. By the way, please keep this close to you." Yanagishita said as he remembered something and took out his special kunai from the ninja tool bag. It was engraved with the symbol of Flying Thunder God, which was the symbol of his ninja way.

"Spark?" Tsunade took it and looked at it carefully, without noticing that her actions caused her to continue to give benefits to Yanagishita. She was curious about the ninja way engraved on this kunai.

"Well, this is the Flying Thunder God Kunai, and the words on it are my ninja way. As long as you carry it, let Miss Slug notify me if you encounter danger, and I will bring you back safely." Yanagishita explained to several people while watching Tsunade's movements. His words were full of concern and desire to protect his companions.

"Okay, I got it." Tsunade stuffed it into her chest casually. No matter how it was stuffed, don't make ninja things so clear! She saw Yanagi's embarrassed look on the opposite side again, and laughed in her heart.

"Oh, sorry for the little Yanagishita, I don't mind. Do you want to touch it?" Tsunade has always been interested in teasing Yanagishita. It is so interesting to see the mature and calm little boy like Yanagishita.

"I, I still have classes to prepare, so I'll leave first." Liu Xia said he couldn't bear it any longer. He felt his cheeks starting to get hot, and he quickly found an excuse to escape this embarrassing situation.

"Tsunade, I'm interested..." Jiraiya, who was full and wanted to do something, became extremely bold. His frivolous look made the scene even more ridiculous.

"Get out!" Tsunade was too lazy to joke with Jiraiya. It was good enough that she didn't punch him. There was a hint of joking in her voice, but at the same time there was also a serious warning.

"Okay!" Jiraiya ran away quickly. Those little sisters who need help are the best! He muttered as he quickly left the scene, looking for the next target to "help".

"Then I'll take my leave, Nawaki-kun. When you come back from the daimyo, come find me. I'll learn about your situation and make a teaching plan." Seeing that the others had already left, Orochimaru also stood up and prepared to say goodbye. His voice was calm and orderly, revealing a subtle concern.

Upon hearing this, Nawaki immediately stood up straight and responded respectfully: "Yes, Teacher Orochimaru! I will definitely visit you as soon as possible and report to you about my learning progress."

Orochimaru nodded slightly, his eyes lingering on Nawaki for a moment, then he turned and left, his steps calm and steady, as if he was thinking about future teaching plans.
