Chapter 46 - Supporting each other and making progress together

 The First Ninja World War was probably the most brutal war.

  The tragedy is not reflected in the number of casualties, but in the number of Kages from each village who died. Except for the Second Kazekage Samon, all the Kages from the other four hidden villages were killed.

  And the original plan was to join forces to besiege Konoha, but as the battle went on, a dramatic scene occurred.

  Perhaps it was out of personal vendetta, the Second Mizukage Hozuki Gengetsu led the Mist Ninjas to take a detour of thousands of miles into the Land of Earth, and fought to the death with the Rock Ninjas led by the Second Tsuchikage Musashi, and finally they fought one for one.

  In addition, Shamon, the second-generation Kazekage, was not doing his job. During the First Ninja World War, he was just slacking off, devoting himself to developing various ninjutsu and studying the one-tailed Shukaku.

  Therefore, Konoha's only real opponent is the Hidden Cloud Village, so even if the front line is in crisis, the adult ninjas of Konoha can hold on.

  However, the battle between the two sides has now entered a white-hot stage, and even the Hidden Cloud Village has sent underage Cloud Ninjas to participate in the battle, and the pressure on Konoha has suddenly increased.

  Chishima Chiba wanted to persuade Senju Tobirama to use the Impure World Reincarnation Technique on the battlefield, but the opponent stopped and did not use it, and Chishima Chiba had no choice.

  It was a rare occasion when the family had a lively dinner table, so breakfast was very sumptuous.

  Tsunade was naturally very happy that Tobirama Senju had returned from the front line. Not only did she not stop laughing while eating, but her appetite also increased a lot.

  However, the tender chicken that Tsunade loved to eat was a little far away from her. She wanted to eat it but was too embarrassed to stand up and pick it up.

  Chishima Chiba's eyes were very cunning. He naturally noticed the desire in Tsunade's eyes. Without caring about table etiquette, he stood up, picked up a chicken leg and put it into Tsunade's bowl.

  "Eat the chicken leg." He said, smiling dotingly at Tsunade.

  Tsunade didn't say thank you either. She glanced at the chicken leg in the bowl, then looked up at Chishima Chiba beside her. The brightness in her brown eyes increased several degrees.

  Uzumaki Mito naturally wouldn't say anything, but Senju Tobirama's expression didn't look very good. He snorted and glared at Chishima Chiba before he gave up.

  Chishima Chiba naturally didn't care. She even stood up more frequently, picked up Tsunade's favorite dishes, and piled her small bowl into a small mountain.

  Senju Tobirama looked at Tsunade's enjoyment, sighed heavily in his heart, and turned his head away and stopped looking at the two of them.

  As a grandfather, he could no longer stop the relationship between the two from heating up...

  After eating and drinking, Chishima Chiba took care of all the dishes and chopsticks as usual. Tsunade followed Chishima Chiba closely and talked to him naturally.

  The content of their conversation was just some trivial matters, without any nutritional value, but Chishima Chiba loved to listen and would express her opinions very naturally, which made Tsunade very happy, and she almost crawled into Chishima Chiba's arms and acted coquettishly.

  After breakfast, Chishima Chiba and Tsunade went out together.

  But on the way, Tsunade looked back frequently, and when she didn't see Senju Tobirama, she blinked her watery eyes and stared at Chishima Chiba.

  Chishima Chiba naturally knew what Tsunade meant, and he grabbed Tsunade's soft hands without any hesitation, swinging them happily.

  Tsunade squinted her eyes comfortably, and used her arms to slow down the shaking of Chishima Chiba, and moved her lotus steps lightly to stick closely to the boy beside her.

  Feeling the warmth coming from his shoulder, Chishima Chiba grinned and gently bumped into Tsunade on his side.

  But when Tsunade leaned to the side, Chishima Chiba used his right hand to pull Tsunade back again.

  "That's annoying!"

  Tsunade pinched Chishima Chiba lightly with her fingertips, "If you continue to be naughty, I will ignore you!"

  Chishima Chiba smiled and said nothing, just nodded slightly and held Tsunade's soft hand a little tighter.

  The two walked for a while, and only calmed down a little when there were more people around. Holding hands, they ran all the way, and when they were out of breath, they finally arrived at the secret base.

  Hatake Sakumo was still working hard and had already started training early. But when Chishima Chiba and Tsunade arrived, Hatake Sakumo took the time to glance at the two of them, and his eyes stayed on their interlocked hands for three or four seconds.

  Tsunade felt a little embarrassed, but after struggling for a while without success, she glared at Chishima Chiba angrily, and then there was no more words.

  After saying hello to Hatake Sakumo, Chishima Chiba let go of Tsunade's hand. At the same time, Hatake Sakumo also ended his training, put away his sword and approached the two of them.

  "Qianye, are you sure you want to learn?"

  During the Ninja School exam a few days ago, Chishima Chiba and Hatake Sakumo mentioned their desire to learn Hatake's swordsmanship. Hatake Sakumo did not agree immediately at that time, but since he asked this today, he must have agreed.

  "It is good to have many skills, and having more skills will open up a wider future for you."

  Chishima Chiba confirmed again, and Hatake Sakumo also nodded, with no other extra expression on his face.  

  "Of course, Sakumo, I won't let you suffer any loss. I will also teach you a few tricks in exchange."

  "You just need to promise me that you won't pass on the Hatake Sword Skills that I passed on to you. I don't ask for anything else."

  Hatake Sakumo has a very good attitude, and after more than half a year of getting along with each other, he has basically accepted Chishima Chiba and trusts him very much.

  "I can't let you suffer any loss. Besides, the three of us will be a team in the future. You will be stronger and more comprehensive, and Tsunade and I will be safer."

  Hearing what Chishima Chiba said, Hatake Sakumo naturally nodded in agreement, but he still asked curiously, "Chiba, the trick you mentioned, could it be..."

  "It's not the Thousand Year Kill, I promise!"

  "..." Hatake Sakumo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. The Thousand Years of Killing was a stain on his life. "If you don't mention this, we can still be good friends."

  "Haha, let's not mention it!" Chishima Chiba couldn't help laughing, and even Tsunade who was standing on the side couldn't help laughing.

  Seeing Chishima Chiba and Tsunade following suit, Hatake Sakumo felt sour in his heart and could only turn his head away and not look at them.

  "Okay, Sakumo, let's get back to business." Chishima Chiba said seriously, "I have a technique that is very suitable for you, but it is very difficult. Do you want to try it?"

  "What type of jutsu?"

  "In the early stage, it is mainly thrusting, and after advancing, it is mainly assassination and sneak attack. When it is further advanced, it can attack from a distance and defend from close range, which is quite compatible with the family swordsmanship of your Hatake clan."

  Hearing Chishima Chiba say this, Hatake Sakumo became interested, "Is it Lightning Release Ninjutsu?"

  "Of course." Qiandao Qianye nodded and then changed the subject, "But I haven't developed it completely yet. If you want, you can join us."

  "A newly developed lightning-style ninjutsu?" Hatake Sakumo was surprised, but soon he showed an eager expression, "Of course I want to participate, shall we start now?"

  "Of course not now." Chishima Chiba shook his head. "This Lightning Release Ninjutsu requires the change of Chakra's nature and form. Has Sakumo mastered the knowledge and methods of this aspect of Ninjutsu?"

  "No..." Hatake Sakumo was a little embarrassed, "I haven't learned these yet."

  "Then how about this, you teach me Hatake swordsmanship, and I will first teach you what the nature and form of chakra change is. After you master it, we will develop the lightning ninjutsu I mentioned together."

  "Sure." Hatake Sakumo nodded, and then asked in surprise, "Chiba, from what you said, have you already mastered the two changes of chakra?"

  "It's just that the theoretical knowledge is sound, the rest needs more practice."

  "What... Chiba, you are just writing empty promises again." Tsunade suddenly spoke up, assisting the opponent, "Sakumo's family swordsmanship is ready-made, what you just said is...Sakumo will be at a loss!"

  Blinking her eyes, Tsunade looked at Hatake Sakumo very seriously, "Sakumo, I have a few ready-made advanced ninjutsu here. I'll teach you, and...well, I also want to learn."

  "Hahaha..." Chishima Chiba couldn't help laughing, "Tsunade, you have a very good plan!"

  "Chiba!" Tsunade glared back at Chiba Chiba. When she saw that he had calmed down, she looked at Hatake Sakumo again, "Sakumo, what do you think?"

  "I'll teach you, but Tsunade, you must also promise that before you do anything without my consent..."

  "It can't be spread outside!" Tsunade answered quickly.

  Hatake Sakumo nodded with a smile, "In that case, I will let my shadow clone teach your shadow clones to practice swordsmanship, and the two of you will teach me various ninjutsu and more advanced ninjutsu knowledge, how about that?"

  Chishima Chiba and Tsunade looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Then they created a shadow clone and followed Hatake Sakumo's shadow clone away.

  The three real bodies sat down cross-legged, and Chishima Chiba became the "teacher", explaining the higher knowledge about chakra.

  Tsunade was not idle either. She knew a lot and helped Chishima and Chiba to find out the gaps from time to time. The two of them worked together very well.

  He just felt a little sad in his heart, but Hatake Sakumo adjusted his mentality quickly and entered the learning state in an instant.
