Naruto: As a genin, I just want to live a normal life.

"Did you consider your sister's feelings when you did this?"

Before Mikoto could react, the vine suddenly shot out from the side—*sizzle!*

"Damn it!" Mikoto's ninja sword changed direction, but was knocked away by the force of the wooden vine and slid to the ground.

Shirahoshi was also suddenly attacked by Nawaki's Wood Release technique and had to retreat a distance to stand with Mikoto.

"Truly worthy of being a Uchiha ninja."

"You managed to use illusion magic to confuse my fifteen men in an instant, allowing them to run down and provide support." Nawaki said with a smile, "You've gotten stronger, Mikoto."

Chapter 130 Jiraiya's Defenses Are Broken

boom! !

Click, click——

No matter how fast the young woman's slash was, it couldn't match the speed of Wood Release's regeneration, which was fueled by the power of nature.

The vines that suddenly appeared behind Shirahoshi bound her tightly, and with a whoosh, she transformed into a shadow clone.

Nawaki narrowed his eyes and glanced at Shirahoshi behind him, who was preparing to rescue Tsunade: "Why bother?"

"Your strength is far too weak for me."

Poof! ! !

Mikoto was no match for Wood Release; her entire body was entangled in wooden vines and lifted high into the air.

Chakra was frantically absorbed into the wooden vines, increasing the binding power of Wood Release.

"Ugh, damn it!!"

With so many attacks, Mikoto had no time to form hand seals. Meanwhile, Nawaki activated Sage Mode, which greatly increased his resistance to illusions and allowed him to sense Mikoto's approximate location and movements even without looking at her.

Before Shirahoshi could even raise his kunai, his entire body trembled and he collapsed to the ground.

Nawaki stood behind him, raising a chakra stun baton powerful enough to instantly knock out a ninja, a blue arc of electricity flashing at its tip: "Sorry, Shirahoshi."

Faced with this, Jiraiya could only raise his hands in surrender: the three had been defeated, and the enemy now had three more hostages.

......

"Put it in."

"Okay. Put the woman in the next room, and the man and my sister in here."

"Is this a good idea? Men and women shouldn't touch each other. What if your sister beats you to death when she wakes up?"

"Alright. Stop worrying about it. I'm doing this for my sister's own good. She's already thirty and still hasn't found a boyfriend. She's really going to cause the Thousand Hands clan to die out."

"...And what about you, Lord Tree?"

"I don't plan to get married. I'm not like you guys."

After the three of them were settled into a two-bedroom apartment, Mako and Nawaki's conversation abruptly ended in my ears.

On the two-meter-wide, clean and white bed,

Shirahoshi pretended to have just woken up, glancing at Tsunade who was still asleep beside him, then at the iron cage on the door, and at the chakra-binding handcuffs he had invented himself on his right hand... So filial! Nawaki, you're such a damn filial son! Your sister is so lucky to have a brother like you!!

The room is about forty square meters.

The environment is simply decorated, and it is far inferior to the home decoration environment of many cadres and employees' dormitories.

But it's much better than a cell in prison.

This is a special cell reserved exclusively for internal personnel.

Outside the iron cage stood the prison guards. Bai Xing approached the iron pillar and saw two unfamiliar female guards outside. She reached out and grabbed the pillar, wanting to say something, when... *zzzzzzzz!*

Bai Xing forcefully broke free, the numbness in his hands making him feel slightly steamy: What the hell?! When was this changed?!

Before leaving, Bai Xing indicated that he did not need to report on many matters that were not major events in the ancient Loulan Kingdom and required his involvement.

So Queen Sally didn't mention it.

"Go back and rest quietly." The female guard was of average appearance, but had a cold expression. "When it's time to eat, we will bring you food."

"The room has a private toilet, washing machine, sofa for resting, TV, newspapers, magazines, double bed, wardrobe, air conditioner, refrigerator, and you can also enjoy the scenery through the sealed floor-to-ceiling windows if you have nothing to do."

"..."

"Could I possibly see the Queen or...?"

"No."

"Your movement is restricted for one week."

"Whether the sentence will be increased depends on what Tree Lord conveys to the Queen."

"Uh. Okay." Seeing this, Bai Xing could only obediently return to the bed. After thinking for a moment, she decided to turn on the air conditioner to let in some fresh air and close the door.

After closing the door, the iron pillars and guards outside were no longer visible. Bai Xing turned on the air conditioner to room temperature, took off her sweaty and smelly clothes as if she were back home, and threw them into the bamboo basket next to her to wash them in the washing machine along with her underwear... Splash!

Shower equipment utilizes wastewater that has been filtered through modern underground water pipes and then piped up for recycling.

Furthermore, the filtration equipment here is far more advanced than modern technology; the underground tap water is filtered to meet modern drinking water standards, meaning the tap water is safe to drink: 50 < TDS < 100.

However, generally speaking, you can also purchase filters developed by Loulan or use ordinary kettles to achieve better water purification results.

In the bathroom, warm water gurgled and steam filled the air. Tsunade, who was on the large bed, heard the sound of running water and sat up. At first glance, she thought she was at home. After looking around, she saw the separate bathroom on the side. Through the ordinary glass door, she could see the back of a man with muscles vaguely visible through the white steam.

Tsunade couldn't help but sigh at how much Nawaki had grown up. He'd actually...?!

Shirahoshi squinted slightly as she washed her hair, then turned her head and saw Tsunade raising her hands: "Hey! Can't you see someone's taking a bath?!"

"Go! Go! Go--"

Tsunade blushed, raised her hands, spread her fingers, and through the gaps between them, her brown eyes saw clearly, "Kid, you have a nice figure."

"..."

"Believe it or not, I'll watch you take a shower later."

"Oh ho. You've got some skills, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade lowered her hands, dropping all pretense and showing no fear on her face: "How about we wait a bit and then shower together?"

"..."

Shirahoshi looked helpless, thinking to herself that Tsunade, that old pervert, was really a weirdo.

However, considering that the other party is a doctor who has risen to the level of hospital director, and upon closer reflection, he has seen more bodies in certain formal settings than I have.

"up to you."

Soon, Bai Xing finished washing her hair and turned around to get the shower gel.

In just a moment, Tsunade went from being calm and composed to looking flushed and irritated, her eyes momentarily glazed over.

soon.

Bai Xing changed into the pajamas and bathrobe she had taken from the closet to the bathroom beforehand, draped them over her shoulders, put on slippers, walked to the refrigerator, took out a bottle of sweet soda, opened it with a hissing sound, poured it onto the sofa, took a sip, picked up a magazine, opened it, and placed the drink on the small table in front of the sofa...

"?"

"You...you've been here before?"

"No. This seems to be Loulan's prison. We're all captured now, and we can't use our chakra." Bai Xing flipped through a magazine page, which contained advertisements for Loulan's new products, advertisements from foreign merchants, as well as a weekly newspaper and some novel magazines:

"so."

"Just treat it as a vacation."

Tsunade:"......"

After a moment of silence, Tsunade sighed. She had already recovered from the slightly awkward atmosphere and was now recalling how she had been defeated by Nawaki's Wood Release before she lost consciousness.

"Where's the back?"

"Didn't Jiraiya defeat Nawaki in the end?"

Tsunade picked up the sweet soda that Shirahoshi was drinking, took a sip, thought to herself that it tasted pretty good, and then started gulping it down.

Bai Xing thought to herself, "Why don't you just go get a bottle yourself, woman?!"

"do not know."

"With Mikoto's help, I had Mikoto distract Nawaki so I could flank you and save you. Then I was knocked unconscious by the Lightning Release."

"I see." Tsunade shook the nearly empty soda bottle in her hand, her eyes glazed over. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. We're comrades, after all."

"Just companions?"

"..."

"Tsunade-sama..."

"Call sister!"

"I already don't have a younger brother like Nawaki anymore. Can you bear to see me lose another brother?" Tsunade grabbed Shirahoshi's sleeve. Shirahoshi looked down at it, then at the soda bottle in Tsunade's hand, thinking to herself that it didn't seem to contain any alcohol.

"elder sister."

"Eh~!"

"Aren't you going to try to persuade Nawaki to stay? After all, he is..."

"He's no longer my brother, no longer a Konoha ninja, no longer the heir of the Senju clan!" Tsunade said through gritted teeth. "No matter how you look at Nawaki's condition, it doesn't seem like he's being controlled, so he must have been brainwashed by that all-powerful minister!"

"..."

Bai Xing thought about it carefully. He realized he hadn't really taught Sheng Shu any profound principles; he'd let him observe and understand things on his own...

Plop—

Shirahoshi didn't even need to look down to see Tsunade leaning against her right side, hugging her tightly: "Tsunade-nii... cough cough, big sister."

Feeling the intense gaze from below, Bai Xing decisively changed her tune.

"Let me hug you, just for a little while."

Seeing this, what else could Shirahoshi say?
