Naruto: Starting as Tsunade's Desk Mate

The two of them were getting impatient, which made it easy for them to make mistakes in the experiment.

Tobirama Senju then reprimanded the two of them, saying that those who do scientific research cannot be impatient or rash, which made the two of them blush.

An Yan ignored his friends' plight and devoted himself to improving the Flying Thunder God Technique.

This technique is somewhat similar to the Summoning Technique. The Summoning Technique allows a ninja to summon a ninja beast to appear beside them, while the Flying Thunder God Technique allows the beast to appear beside a mark, which is somewhat like a reverse summoning technique.

An Yan wanted to know the essential difference between the two, but unfortunately he didn't have a summoning beast yet and couldn't experiment casually. Tobirama Senju just watched coldly and didn't offer to arrange a summoning beast for him.

Chapter 38 Spy

Tobirama Senju had no intention of assigning An'an a summoning beast.

An Yan expressed his disappointment.

An Yan had to find a solution on his own. As the saying goes, snakes have their ways and rats have theirs.

An Yan ultimately decided to live off his wife.

He was prepared to swallow his pride and ask Grandma Mito if he could make a spiritual contract with the slug.

The Konoha Technology Research and Development Department is located in the back mountain of Konoha Village. To get to the village from there, you need to cross a forest path.

Then, on his way to the Thousand Hands Clan's territory, An Yan was suddenly robbed.

An Yan was walking along a forest path when a man dressed in ANBU uniform approached him. He seemed to be heading to the technology research and development department as well.

However, An Yan sensed something was amiss. There was no other reason than that Konoha's Anbu were always flying high into the air, but this person was walking on the road just like him, which was a bit out of character for the Anbu.

An Yan immediately became more vigilant. Sure enough, as the operative brushed past An Yan, he suddenly turned around and launched a sneak attack.

An Yan was already prepared. While dodging the attack, he turned around and delivered a groin kick.

An Yan was confident that the child's groin kick would have a height advantage, but the kick made a crisp sound when it hit the person.

An Yan felt a chill run down his spine, as if he had kicked something hard. Was it hardening technique?

An Yan immediately tried to pull away and retreat, but the man had already clamped his ankles with both legs, making it impossible for him to break free for a moment.

The silent man, having failed in his first attack, struck even more swiftly in his next, aiming an elbow strike directly at An Yan's knee, seemingly trying to break his leg.

An Yan's gaze sharpened, and he entered a state of focused concentration. With his superhuman strength amplified, he kicked out, striking the man's elbow and sending him flying more than twenty meters, smashing through four or five trees along the roadside.

Before the smoke and dust had even cleared, a bow and arrows appeared in his hand in an instant. An Yan drew his bow, nocked an arrow, listened to the sound to pinpoint the location, and fired nine arrows in a flash. The poison gas spread instantly, turning the smoke and dust there green.

However, when the smoke cleared, the man did not appear.

An Yan sensed something was wrong. The next moment, a pair of hands emerged from the ground, grabbed his feet, and pulled him into the soil, leaving only his head above ground.

Earth Release: Decapitation Technique of the Heart!

The man squatted down in front of An Yan, his eyes behind the mask of the Dark Guard cold and ruthless.

"This little guy is quite hard to catch."

An Yan heard the man's voice; he sounded like he was in his thirties or forties.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

An Yan looked like he was resigned to his fate, as if he was just asking a question out of resentment before he died.

The man didn't answer, but instead asked, "Has Konoha's artificial tailed beast project yielded any results?"

An Yan frowned. It seemed there were bad people among the researchers.

Seeing An Yan's reaction, the man had already made a judgment in his mind. He immediately reached out to knock An Yan unconscious and take him away.

However, a Rasengan burst from the ground, slamming into his face and shattering the ANBU mask, revealing a face covered in scars beneath.

The fake ANBU member maintained his Hardening Technique. Although he was caught off guard by a Rasengan, he was not seriously injured and only took a few steps back.

An Yan's heart sank. This guy looked like a Jonin from a major ninja village. Ninjas from smaller ninja villages usually didn't have this kind of calm and composed demeanor.

"Ninjutsu without hand seals?"

The man staggered to his feet, raised his head, and his hideous face was covered in cracks. Pieces of earth, like ceramic shards, fell away, revealing bits of skin beneath.

It seems the Rasengan has broken through his defenses; An Yan is relieved.

"Instead of properly addressing internal conflicts and consolidating power, your village's leader has the audacity to send you out on a spy mission? You weren't sent out to die, were you?"

An Yan asked casually, "At this time, apart from the Sand Village, every village is in turmoil. It's the time of power transition between the Second Hokage and the Third Hokage. Each Kage needs at least four or five years to mediate the conflicts within the village, so they have no time to worry about external matters."

Although this person is a Jonin, he is most likely cannon fodder sent out in the internal power struggle, and most likely chose the wrong side in the election of the Third Hokage.

The man seemed to have been touched on a sore spot by An Yan, and his entire demeanor changed instantly; he was clearly provoked.

The unknown Jonin rushed towards An Yan at an extremely fast speed. Whether it was confidence or arrogance, he did not use any ninjutsu for ranged attacks. Perhaps because he was in a foreign country and was in a state of constant pursuit, he subconsciously wanted to conserve his chakra.

A Jonin's taijutsu is indeed enough to deal with a lowly Genin, provided that the Genin does not know any forbidden techniques.

An Yan stood still, his arms outstretched, and a Rasengan appeared in each of his hands.

The man saw An Yan's actions and sneered inwardly. Having just been hit by a Rasengan, he already knew the power of this technique. With preparation and the full support of Earth Release: Hardening, even if two attacks hit the same spot, it wouldn't break through his defenses like it did before.

The man rushed over, but An Yan's hands didn't strike him; instead, he used Rasengan to collide with himself.

A massive vortex of airflow was instantly generated. The man couldn't dodge in time and crashed directly into the eye of the storm. The Wind Release: Rasengan was even more powerful than the normal version.

The man tried to run, his hands gripping the ground tightly, but the immense spiral suction force pulled him into the center of the vortex. He could only watch helplessly as his body slowly moved backward until he was sliced ​​to pieces by the spiraling wind blades.

The psychological pressure of watching himself approach death was immense. When the man's legs were cut down to his thighs, he suddenly reached into his ninja tool bag with one hand, pulled out a stack of explosive tags, and pressed them directly onto his body.

Unable to resist the suction force generated by the Wind Release: Rasengan with just one hand, he was instantly pulled in along with the ground, and all the explosive tags were ignited. It seemed like he was going to perish together with the ground.

An Yan remained calm, standing still without moving, while the man looked desperate. The explosive tags exploded instantly, engulfing the two figures.

The area within a radius of several meters was engulfed in flames.

An Yan appeared from a distance, walked over, and collected the man's remains. He had already created a shadow clone when he first used the Rasengan.

While it's true that there are resurrection coins, resurrecting after death consumes lifespan, and An Yan is still very afraid of dying, so he wants to live as many years as possible.

While An Yan was cleaning up the wreckage, the Konoha Anbu heard the noise and rushed over. After inquiring about what had happened, they took over the follow-up work.

An Yan followed the Anbu to the intelligence analysis team again and handed over the body of the Jonin.

The ninjas in the analysis team were about to start working overtime again. An Yan saw a young man who looked like a member of the mountain clan yawning as he prepared to start working.

An Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly; the intelligence analysis team seemed to be working much harder than other departments.

Chapter 39 Slug Immortal

After finishing his work, An Yan went home to take a shower and change into clean clothes before setting off for the Thousand Hands Clan's territory.

The courtyard in the Thousand Hands Clan's territory remained secluded and tranquil.

Mito Uzumaki remained as quiet and peaceful as ever, but what surprised An Yan was the presence of Tsunade, or more precisely, the child that Tsunade was holding.

This is a child who is one or two years old. He has brown hair and two rosy cheeks, which are full of vitality. He is hugging Tsunade affectionately and calling her "sister" in a soft and sweet voice. He looks extremely cute.

Grandma Mito had a smile on her face the whole time, and she was overjoyed when the child called her "Grandma." She kept stroking the child's hair and praising him repeatedly.

An Yan watched all this with a smile, wondering how long this peace could last. The butterfly effect of his arrival seemed to be growing larger and larger.

Tsunade moved closer to An Yan, pointing proudly at the child in Mito's arms, and said with a smug look, "This is my little brother, Nawaki. Isn't he cute?"

An Yan smiled and nodded, "Very cute. No wonder you're Tsunade's brother. Your whole family is full of handsome men and beautiful women."

"Haha, you flatter me."

Tsunade was even happier to hear An Yan's praise; she cherished her younger brother dearly.

The children's laughter seemed to bring vitality to this long-silent place.

However, today didn't seem to be the time to talk business. An Yan was perceptive; after chatting and laughing with Tsunade for a while, he took the opportunity to say goodbye to Grandma Mito.

Mito Uzumaki's mind was entirely on her grandson, so she just nodded absentmindedly in agreement. An Yan smiled and left, not wanting to disturb the family's joyful reunion.

Tsunade is a meticulous person; no sooner had An Yan left than Tsunade followed him.

Tsunade tiptoed up behind An Yan and suddenly slapped him. An Yan jumped in surprise, which amused Tsunade so much that she trembled with laughter.

"Speak, what's the matter this time?"

After the laughter subsided, Tsunade and An'an walked side by side down the street and began to talk about serious matters.

As An Yan walked, he casually said, "The topic I'm researching now requires me to practice summoning techniques, but I don't have any summoning beasts. I was planning to ask Grandma Mito for her opinion, but it seems I'll have to wait a bit longer."

After listening to An Yan's troubles, Tsunade immediately started to give him assurances.

“Summoning beasts? That’s easy. You just need to sign the same summoning contract with me.”

An Yan asked in surprise, "Isn't that the summoning beast of your Senju clan? Can you really pass it on to me?"

Tsunade punched An Yan: "If you're going to pretend to be nice, at least try to make it convincing! You can't even hide the smile on your face, okay?"

An Yan rubbed his shoulder in pain, looking completely innocent: "Really? Hahaha, Tsunade, you're so good to me. How am I supposed to repay you in the future?"

How about I repay you with my body?

An Yan didn't say the second half of his sentence. As a child born under an air sign, he always liked the feeling of ambiguity. Ambiguity is when love is most attractive.

Some things, once said, can ruin the mood.

Tsunade is a straight woman, and when faced with An Yan's profound question, she really thought about it and even gave an answer.

"Hmm, I've made up my mind. An Yan, you're a genius, and your future achievements will definitely be remarkable. I hope that you can protect Konoha and my younger brother Nawaki in the future."

An Yan laughed and said, "Why didn't I say I'd protect you?"

Tsunade laughed heartily and said cheerfully, "Would you not protect me?"

An Yan smiled back, and the two smiled at each other, everything understood without words.

After strolling along, An Yan and Tsunade arrived at the Hokage Rock.

An Yan leaned on the railing, looking down at the entire village.

The village of Konoha has just experienced a war, and its population is dwindling. The village is no longer as prosperous as it once was. Looking around, you can always see empty, uninhabited areas between a few houses, and those areas are now filled with small groves.

The two chatted casually, and An Yan cherished this relaxed atmosphere, knowing that each day was precious and precious.

"That idiot Jiraiya is incredibly weak. He's been training hard at Mount Myōboku lately. I heard that the food there is made up of insects. Jiraiya's face turned green when he mentioned it."
