Shadow Stream of Leaf

Konoha twenty-four years, winter, light snow.

Hanyu was wearing slippers and a very thin white bathrobe. He stretched out his hand and opened the door, and walked down the stairs step by step with a hutch.

He was holding a wooden basin in his hand, with several bottles and jars in it, and a black cat was lying on his stomach, and a long towel was placed on his shoulders, and a slug was hidden under the towel.

The weather outside is cooler, but fortunately Hanyu's destination is not far away, it's just across the street... Well, don't think about it, he just wants to take a bath.

Hanyu even invited two friends to take a bath together... To be precise, a friend invited him to take a bath together.

"Hayu, it's not enough, you have to take the whole family with you when you take a bath." Jiraiya stood in front of the ordinary hot spring bathhouse next to the entrance of the custom shop, and complained to Hanyu who was a little late, obviously he He saw the black cat Hanyu was carrying.

"What do you know, the two of you combined are not worth as much as my pet."

The black cat wagged its tail weakly and lived in fear all the time. It can realize its own value and reserve food. Of course, it deserves the attention of its owner.

Now Hanyu is getting more and more disgusted with these two guys opposite, after all, they are far less cute than when they were young... From Konoha's 20th to 24th year, Hanyu barely grew back, but in fact he is still more cute than Konoha. At the time of the Battle of Frostfield, I was a little smaller than myself.

However, under the circumstances of that kind of infringement, it is normal for his regrowth speed to be affected.

And when Hanyu was struggling to re-develop, Jiraiya and Orochimaru naturally developed very smoothly. These two are now fifteen years old, and their height is even higher than Hanyu... What a painful lesson.

"Stop standing here and chatting, it's cold outside, let's go in." Orochimaru said coldly.

As his words fell, the white air exhaled from his mouth melted into the falling snow.

Orochimaru has long black hair and stands alone in the white snow. If the weird eye shadow is removed, from the back view, he is a standard slender intellectual beauty...except for being a little flat.

Oh, Hanyu instantly understood, that's why Jiraiya invited Orochimaru who obviously didn't get along with him... Well, it's a bit dangerous.

However, Hanyu didn't think Orochimaru was afraid of the cold. After all, this guy was becoming more and more like a cold-blooded animal. He probably just didn't want to be seen standing in such a place and cause misunderstandings.

Hanyu can understand this feeling, because he doesn't want to be misunderstood.

"Then let's go, no matter how long you stand here stupidly, you can't go where minors can't go."

Saying that, Hanyu lifted the curtain blocking the front, and walked into the shop first...of course it was an ordinary shop.

In theory, pets are not allowed in this kind of place, but this kind of rule can't stop those ninjas who just want to violate the rules. After all, there are many ways to hide psychic beasts.

Pay the money, go inside, and soak in the pool...

In this kind of weather, Hanyu's mind was fine, so he chose the indoor hot spring pool.

His wooden basin was floating in the hot spring, but now it has been replaced with slugs, and the black cat has started swimming freestyle in the spring water carelessly.

Orochimaru leaned to the side, as if avoiding the cat, who knows how many pathogenic bacteria it has on it... At this time, he should point at Lan Hua.

This kind of reaction was seen by Hanyu, and he thought that this guy is not as cute as it was a few years ago, "You bastard, why do you dislike my Wugen Liuli?"

"...Hayu, isn't your cat called Cheetos?"

"Is that right...that's what I remembered wrongly."

Black Cat: "..."

Yes, no matter how you say it, it cannot speak and must be held back.

In general, such warm moments are rare among ninjas. Then, Hanyu found out that Orochimaru has a little snake, and Jiraiya is a real hero.

But it doesn't matter, some of Orochimaru's organs are just like the appendix, they are useless at all...or is this the reason why Orochimaru develops Invulnerable Reincarnation?

"What has Hanyu been up to lately?"

Jiraiya doesn't dislike Hanyu's cat, but it's understandable, his lower limit of acceptance is already low. In Jiraiya's eyes, amphibians like toads are invincible and cute, and no matter how bad the cat is, it's not that bad.

"It's nothing special to focus on. I finally completed the development of a ninjutsu earlier. It's called 'Flying Thunder God Yigong Moulting'. How should I put it? It's something I'm not good at, but I finally finished it with hard work. So it’s quite a sense of accomplishment.” Hanyu said.

But he has a fart sense of accomplishment, if the Second Hokage knew that his Flying Raijin was developed into a low-end version, then when he was cremated, he should have dragged Hanyu in to warm up.

But in fact, Hanyu is not as idle as he said, because of some changes in the ninja world recently, Kageru is now making extremely serious preparations, but there is no need to tell Jiraiya about such things.

"Next, if there is still time, I am going to start learning the very special technique you are learning." Hanyu continued.

"That technique, do you even have to learn that? Please, give me a way to survive."

Jiraiya instantly understood what Hanyu was talking about, and immediately complained.

Hanyu and Jiraiya were also playing charades, and Orochimaru listened with a dazed expression. The two of them were talking about fairy arts, and Dashemaru hadn't been exposed to fairy arts so far, so he thought Ryūchi Cave was a big snake's lair.

…………

The hot springs in the hot spring street are very dense. Sometimes there is a sliding wooden door covered with paper barriers between two shops of different natures, and sometimes there is even only a wide curtain, so it is very fast, and it is easy to come. The attention is not on the conversation here.

"Jiraiya, pay attention to your own taste, don't always look at the breasts when looking at people, what is really beautiful is the legs. If the legs are not good-looking, everything is useless, understand."

Finally, as an old gentleman, Hanyu couldn't help but began to correct the young gentleman's aesthetics.

Why do people who have never been in touch with the previous works of Lisa spend 400 yuan to buy new works, isn't it for the heroine's legs?

However, at Jiraiya's current age, it is obvious that he has not yet developed to the stage of appreciation that Hanyu mentioned, so he just curled his lips calmly.

But...after a while, he suddenly said to Hanyu, "Hanuyu, do you like Tsunade?"

Hanyu was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Jilai would suddenly ask such a question.

So the image of Tsunade silently emerged in his mind... Tsunade, he has average legs, but he has worked hard to develop from aa to cc in these years, which is really touching.

Wait a minute, what about the leg?

"Like it or not, it's quite an abstract concept."

Hanyu started talking, so at this time, not only Jiraiya and Orochimaru were listening carefully, but even the black cat straightened its ears, and the slug straightened its antennae.

"But how should I put it, whether it is appearance or talent, the most outstanding kind of people are often the most eye-catching. Skills are the same as strength...everything is instinct."

Hanyu didn't seem to say anything, but he seemed to say everything.

Orochimaru became thoughtful, and then he continued, "If you put it this way, I must like Tsunade."

Because... In the same generation, there is no female ninja better than Tsunade.

Hanyu and Jilai also glanced at this guy at the same time, thinking that you dare to love and hate, but you should shut up.

Later Orochimaru did say to Tsunade "Only you and I don't want to kill", this sentence is true, but he didn't show mercy at all when he did it.

However, the liking he said is completely different from what Jiraiya and Hanyu mean.

Orochimaru... what kind of man is he, he is just a little snake, so attitudes in these aspects can be ignored.
