----------------------

 The next morning, Tsunade, who had a good sleep, was fully revived and became as lively as before again.

  But Chishima Chiba was acting uncharacteristically and forced himself to smile, and Uzumaki Mito didn't notice anything.

  But Tsunade was very attentive to Chishima and Chiba, and she noticed something was wrong after just a quick glance or two.

  After breakfast, the two were on their way to the secret base for training, and Tsunade finally couldn't help it.

  "Qianye, what's wrong with you?"

  "Nothing." Chishima Chiba shook his head to deny, and at the same time put on a sunny and warm smile, "Let's go, Tsunade, we have two more companions in our secret base, it would be bad to keep them waiting for too long."

  "Is that so..."

  Tsunade looked at Chishima Chiba suspiciously, but the other party did not answer. She took her little hand and dragged her away.

  The secret base of the two.

  But with the addition of Hatake Sakumo, Orochimaru, and Jiraito, this secret base has become overcrowded, and the small venue is a bit crowded.

  When Chishima Chiba and Tsunade arrived, the first thing they saw was Orochimaru and Jiraiya standing at the edge of the training ground, looking somewhat at a loss.

  Chiba Chishima was not surprised, because Orochimaru and Jiraiya entered school late and their family background was not outstanding, so their starting point was much lower than that of Hatake Sakumo, and it was normal that they could not keep up with Hatake Sakumo's training intensity.

  "Sakumo, you're still working as hard as ever!"

  Chishima Chiba sighed and was about to step forward, but unexpectedly Tsunade beside him rushed to Jiraiya like a little lioness in a few steps.

  Bang.

  With one punch, Jiraiya fell directly onto his back.

  "You little rascal, why are you here!" Tsunade had a cold face and looked down at Jiraiya who was lying on the ground with her little fist raised.

  "I'm not a hooligan!" Jiraiya's face flushed, and he climbed up from the ground using his hands and feet. "I don't have any thoughts about you anymore!"

  While speaking, Jiraiya hid behind Orochimaru, and his cunning eyes kept switching between Chishima Chiba and Tsunade.

  "Okay Tsunade, I guess after teaching Jiraiya a lesson last time, he has reformed." Chishima Chiba stepped forward to smooth things over, "Right, Jiraiya?"

  Jiraiya avoided her gaze but still calmed himself down, "Yes, I have been very honest... I haven't peeked again, not anymore."

  "Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly and turned her head away. She no longer intended to argue with Jiraiya.

  "Tsunade, Sakumo." Chishima Chiba stood in the middle and began to smooth things over. "Let me introduce you to these two new members of our team. He is Orochimaru."

  "Hello everyone, thank you for your guidance in the future." Orochimaru bowed slightly, and Hatake Sakumo and Tsunade were also very polite and bowed slightly in return.

  "He's Jiraiya. He has some minor character flaws, but he's a very nice guy."

  "Hello everyone, thank you for your guidance." Jiraiya put down the hand that was rubbing his cheek and bowed slightly to Tsunade and Hatake Sakumo.

  Tsunade was somewhat reluctant, but out of courtesy, she returned the greeting to Jiraiya together with Hatake Sakumo.

  The first meeting may seem a little cumbersome, but it is a necessary step. After all, it is the first meeting, so you still have to do what you should do.

  Once we get to know each other better, it won't be so troublesome. Joking and calling each other nicknames will become commonplace.

  "Okay, now that everyone is acquainted, it's time for us to start today's training."

  Chishima Chiba looked at Hatake Sakumo and said, "Sakumo, you continue first. I will leave Orochimaru and Jiraiya to me."

  "good."

  Hatake Sakumo nodded and returned to his original position to continue training.

  "Orochimaru, Jiraiya, your foundations in ninjutsu and various types of knowledge are weak, I will tutor you to make up for them first."

  Then, Chishima Chiba created a shadow clone and led Orochimaru and Jiraiya to a secluded place on the edge of the training ground to cram them in some basic ninja knowledge.

  Chishima Chiba cannot be considered a famous teacher, but under the influence of Uzumaki Mito, he is more than capable of dealing with Orochimaru and Jiraiya at their current stages.

  But Tsunade seemed a little dissatisfied.

  "Chiba, I think Orochimaru is pretty good, but that guy Jiraiya..."

  "He has some personality problems, but he has improved after our last lesson. And it is undeniable that Jiraiya has remarkable talent and is a man of great potential."

  "Hmph, no matter what you say, I have reservations." Tsunade still didn't like Jiraiya very much. She could only say that the first impression Jiraiya gave her was too bad.

  Now that Tsunade has said this, Chishima Chiba will naturally not mention Jiraiya again.

  With a smile on his face again, Chishima Chiba hooked his finger at Tsunade, "Come, let's spar in taijutsu. Let me see if your super strength punch has improved."

  "Ha, I've been waiting for this day!"

  Tsunade's face instantly became excited, but she did not forget to seal Chiba Chiba's best part, "You can use anything, but you can't use sealing techniques."

  Chishima Chiba had a headache. If he didn't use the sealing technique, he would not be able to withstand Tsunade's tremendous strength.

  "Haven't you already learned how to break the seal?" Chidao Chiba said reluctantly.

  "The seal-breaking technique is too troublesome, so you can't use it, or we won't compete."

  "Okay, okay, no, no."

  Chishima Chiba compromised and got into position, waiting for Tsunade to attack.  

  Tsunade was of course not polite. She took a step forward and got close to Chishima Chiba, then threw a straight punch at his chest.

  Bang.

  Chishima Chiba crossed his hands to block, but the huge force from his palms still knocked him back several steps.

  Seeing this, Tsunade's eyes lit up frighteningly, and she did not hold back her strength, directly pursuing the victory.

  Super Strength·Painful Kick!

  Tsunade posed in a split position, and when her right leg was raised to the highest point, the chakra in her body suddenly burst out, giving her faster speed and stronger strength, while also simultaneously bursting out the destructive power that chakra should have.

  Split your legs downward suddenly.

  Boom!

  With a loud noise, the ground where Tsunade stood suddenly collapsed, and a crack more than one person wide appeared at the same time. It was pushed forward by the huge force that had not yet dissipated and a visible shock wave, and it reached Chishima Chiba's feet in the blink of an eye.

  He stepped back quickly, formed seals with both hands at the same time, and Chidao Chiba slapped the ground with both hands at the fastest speed.

  Earth Escape: Return of Earth and Land!

  A thick rock slab that was one person thick, two people wide, and three people high suddenly stood up in front of Qiandao Qianye, but it only slightly blocked the attack of the Painful Heaven Kick before it collapsed.

  A cloud of smoke and dust filled the air, covering up the figures of Chishima Chiba.

  The next second, several shurikens shot in arcs towards Tsunade not far away, and there was murderous intent hidden in the shadows under the shurikens.

  "A little trick."

  Tsunade did not dodge or evade. She took out a kunai from her ninja tool bag and rushed forward.

  Ding, ding, ding.

  A few crisp sounds were heard, and Tsunade knocked down all the shurikens. Even Chishima Chiba's hidden killing moves were all broken by Tsunade.

  The reason why it is so easy is that Tsunade suffered a loss once, so she naturally has the experience to deal with it again.

  After getting close to Chishima Chiba, Tsunade didn't want to continue playing hide-and-seek with him like a loach, "No running, close combat!"

  "I can also use the super-powerful punch, okay?" Chishima Chiba really didn't dodge again, "Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Chidao Chiba stepped forward and started close combat.

  "Too...too strong, right?"

  Orochimaru, who was listening to the lecture of Chishima Chiba Shadow's clone, was attracted by the sound of the two fighting. After just one glance, he couldn't take his eyes off.

  Gulp.

  Jiraiya did the same, his Adam's apple moved up and down, "Chiba and Tsunade's strength should have surpassed the teachers of the ninja school..."

  Orochimaru nodded in agreement, and with great willpower forced himself to retract his gaze and focus again on Chishima Chiba's shadow clone.

  The same was true for Jiraiya. He thought the same thing as Orochimaru. They had to catch up now, otherwise the gap would only get bigger.

  Seeing the two of them concentrate again, Qiandao Qianye's shadow clone nodded with great satisfaction, "It will not help you at all to aim too high. The first thing you should do now is to lay a solid foundation."

  "And this foundation is nothing else but the control of chakra. Today I will explain to you how to train the control of chakra..."

  Over there, Chishima Chiba's shadow clone started talking again, while on the other side, Hatake Sakumo stopped training, put away his sword and walked to the edge of the battle circle between Chishima Chiba's real body and Tsunade.

  He also felt itchy and decided to take this opportunity to avenge his previous defeats.

  Swish!

  Hatake Sakumo suddenly joined in, unsheathed his White Fang, and swung out a fast and tricky-angled sword.

  "Qianye, do you mind?"

  "You've already taken action, and you still come to ask me?!" Chishima Chiba was so angry that his voice rose several octaves.

  "Haha, I learned this from you, Captain." Hatake Sakumo responded in a light voice, but his attack was a little more ruthless than before.

  Trapped in a two-on-one situation, Chishima Chiba had no time to reply. He could only fight and retreat, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

  Today, we must do something serious!

  And maybe fighting the two of them with all his strength would help to suppress the grief in his heart a little.

  At least before the news came back, Chidao Chiba wouldn't feel so bad.

  He took a few steps back and formed seals with his hands.

  In just a moment, the chakra in Chidao Chiba's body boiled, rushing out of the body along the meridians, and turned into a mighty stream of water.

  Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!

  "Water Dragon Bullet Technique with four seals?!"

  At the same time, Tsunade's expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "This is the simplified Water Dragon Bullet Technique from Second Grandfather, Sakumo, hide quickly!"

  Hatake Sakumo suddenly came to his senses, but instead of hiding, he planned to fight head-on!

  Lightning Release·Hatake Sword Technique·Thunder Fang Flash!

  He swung the white fang in his hand and released a brilliant streak of lightning chakra, colliding with the rushing water dragon at an extremely fast speed.

  Boom!

  With a loud explosion, the water dragon was torn into pieces. At the same time, the sword light swung by Hatake Sakumo was also completely consumed. However, the lightning chakra contained in the sword light remained for a long time and spread rapidly to the surroundings along the water spilled on the ground.

  Chishima Chiba and Hatake Sakumo jumped into the air without saying a word, and a new round of battle was about to begin.

  Tsunade on the other side was unwilling to be left out. She jumped up with her fist raised and rushed towards Chishima Chiba in mid-air.

  We must defeat Chishima Chiba once!
