Ropes of fluid erupted from his base. Unfortunately, the ropes did not land on Shizune's face.
It travelled further, reached Tsunade.
Drip
Drip drip!!
…
Tsunade lay still on the ground as she felt a weird sensation on her back. The feeling of something thick yet watery on her bare skin.
'That is not what I think that is right??'
She thought, very frustrated, but she knew what it was. There was no way she would not.
Just as she decided that she would wait for the moment they leave to quickly wipe it off, she heard something else.
They had begun. They continued to do things out in the open, inconsiderate of her.
"You look gorgeous like this." Reko commented
"Yess! Keep it up higher in the air."
Although Tsunade could not see them, she was still able understand why he said what he said.
The rythmic thumping sounds could not make it any more obvious.
…
An hour passed.
Finally, she was left alone. Shizune and Reko had finally left.
She had already calmed down by the time, only wanting to clean any traces off her body.
"This is so…" She used her fingers to wipe it off as she murmured "thick."
"She was nearly shouting about how good it tasted." She brought her fingers close to her lips "Should I?"
She had been made to hear the adulterous couple for so long and it had stirred something within her.
Before she could decide or contemplate, she sensed someone nearby.
"Tsunade? You called me?"
Shocked, she moved her fingers, trying to hide it, and the only way she could think of doing it was licking it off.
"Yes Lady Katsuyu!"
She hurriedly turned her head to face Katsuyu, her summon, and greeted her.
"What is that? Why are you putting on sunscreen like that?"
Lady Katsuyu took a look at how Tsunade seemed to be in the middle of relaxing, getting the sun.
Although it seemed very weird, as if someone had splashed sunscreen on her.
"Ah that.." Tsunade looked stupefied as she heard Lady Katsuyu mention the sunscreen. "Yes sunscreen, I was about to rub it." Her body relaxed as she focused on the word sunscreen.
'It is good that she misunderstood it.' Tsunade began to wipe it off, trying to make it appear as if she was putting it on.
"About me calling you, I need you to send Reko out of this sacred land. He is done."
She informed Lady Katsuyu about her sudden call. Her intention to send him out of the sacred land.
"He is done? What do you mean by that?"
Lady Katsuyu looked very surprised, wondering if Tsunade was telling a joke.
How could someone accomplish these many techniques in just a week?
She must have meant something else by being done, right?
"Did he manage to learn your techniques already?"
She asked, trying to make sure if her guess was right.
"Yes. He managed to learn it in these few days."
Tsunade spoke slowly, looking at her with some pity. She must have also looked like this when she witnessed Reko, right?
"So, I need him to go on a mission."
Tsunade continued to explain as she requested her to send Reko out of the sacred land.
"Such a prodigy."
Lady Katsuyu looked to be in awe as she muttered to herself.
"A mission? Yes, ofcourse. Who could even beat him now?"
Lady Katsuyu nodded in agreement with her non-human head. This arrangement seemed like a good one for a prodigy like Reko.
"On this mission, he might also learn Senjutsu from Jiraya. He has shown his interest."
Tsunade added.
"I see. If possible I would have taught him mine. But it is not suitable for humans."
Lady Katsuyu lamented. Only if her tribe had the method to teach their Senjutsu to humans too.
It was very difficult for the humans to adapt to.
"It's good if he learns the toad's sage mode. They have a pretty good grasp of it."
Lady Katsuyu approved of Reko's decision to learn Senjutsu. There were no hurdles in his way to learn Sage jutsu.
"Yes. Jiraya has not agreed yet. But he will most likely do so after meeting with him."
She had not informed Jiraya that Reko would be going to visit and heal him. He had not even requested help.
…
"Hah. It was really fun doing it."
Reko slumped on his bed, relaxed. He had not felt that kind of rush for so long.
To release on the fifth hokage like that? Amazing experience.
"Now, I shall wait for Lady Katsuyu to arrive."
He waited. Once Lady Katsuyu arrived, he would be able to leave this sacred land.
"I am curious. Does this sacred land not have Senjutsu to offer? Even my hamster summon has one."
He was curious if Lady Katsuyu had a Senjutsu to offer. And if she did, then of what kind?
Would it have a super healing trait? Cloning? He was intrigued. Because even his Hamster guy had one.
"And from his expression, it seemed that they do not rank it very high in their arsenal."
With how casually he had mentioned Senjutsu, it seemed that there were many more techniques in the hamster tribe.
"Oh hello!" He greeted her when he found that a small clone of Lady Katsuyu had arrived in front of him.
"You're here. Good."
The non-human figure of Katsuyu nodded as she spotted Reko relaxing.
"I heard from Tsunade that you managed to learn all the techniques."
She praised him.
"Since this sacred land doesn't have much to offer, I will quickly send you out to save your time."
The smaller version of Lady Katsuyu climbed on his shoulder.
"Ohh" Reko said, accepting her on his shoulder.
"Okay?" He looked around in surprise. He was outside of his village, near the village entrance, and Lady Katsuyu had disappeared already, leaving him with a scroll.
"Yoo guys!! How are you doing?"
He greeted the guards with great excitement and disappeared in a flash, leaving a few words for them.
"See you later guys!"
Shikamaru's dad Shikaku Nara was present in the hokage office, substituting for the leader.
'So she is sunbathing there, because she knows that everything is being taken care of by this guy.'
Reko looked at the middle aged man working through papers on his desk.
He handed Shikaku the scroll he had gotten from Lady Katsuyu.
"This is for you. With this, you would be able to search for him. He doesn't know we are sending you, and you would probably find him before our messengers find him."
After going through the scroll, Shikaku passed him a thorough map, marked with locations of various kind.
The map contained all the areas where Jiraya would likely visited or has visited already.
Shikaku was aware of Reko's capability. So he knew that it was efficient for Reko himself to look for Jiraya.
"So, i am on my own?"
Reko took a look at the hand drawn map. He had to admit that it was well drawn. However, the conclusion of all this was that he had to search for Jiraya before assisting him.
Basically, he was on a solo mission with infinite time limit.
"More or less."
"And you are supposed to return back if you do not find him within a month."
As if Shikaku had read his mind, he added a condition for Reko.
'I did not even need to guess. All his thoughts were written over his face.'
Shikaku sighed, how could young people be so lazy these days?
"Alright then. I am leaving."
Reko took the scroll as he began to leave.
"Okay."
He saw Reko leave as he resumed his hefty paperwork. He missed the time when Lady Tsunade was here, doing this paperwork on her own.
He wished that Sakura would also complete her training quickly and then come back together with lady Tsunade and Shizune.
…
In another location, at a very busy city.
"You know how I got this one here?"
Jiraya was relaxing in the warm water in a mixed bath setting. He was surrounded by the ladies as he pointed to one of the marks on his chest.
The mark was left behind by a lethal attack and he showed it with a proud face to everyone around him.
"Please tell us!! Did you fight a beast?"
A pretty lady held Jiraya by his hand as she asked. She was really impressed by the sexy looking wounds on Jiraya's body.
"Or a rogue shinobi?"
Another lady put her face really close to the mark on his body, scrutinising the mark. She believed that this injury could be from a battle with a rogue shinobi.
"That's a really serious injury. You must be so strong."
A lady seemed really impressed as she checked out his body. Jiraya was big like a bear and had a chiseled body full of muscles.
"Hahaha, of course. I am very strong. I am probably one of the very strongest shinobi out there."
Jiraya laughed happily, embarrassed at the amount of attention he had gotten from showing off his injury.
"This…, this mark here is from one of very dangerous fox-like beasts.".
He pointed at the lethal mark as he described the situation where he had fought.
This was the mark left behind by the nine tails attack.
"Woahh for real? You're that strong??"
The ladies all appeared really surprised as they heard Jiraya narrate the story of his legendary fight.
"What about this one? This looks almost the same!"
One of them happened to point at another spot. The mark on that spot also looked impressive, causing all of them to be curious behind its story.
"This is also from a very dangerous opponent. A powerful one with big weapons."
Jiraya thought for a second before he recalled the one sided battle where he had been caught peeping.
It was indeed an enemy with very big weapons. The biggest he had seen them as of yet.
Although, he still shuddered the moment he thought of that day when he got beat up.
…
"Hey Asuma! Did you hear? Reko came back from his training and took on a mission."
One of the shinobi who happened to pass by Asuma informed him.
He had seen Reko pass by the entrance of the village.
"What? When?"
Asuma looked excited as he asked the shinobi. These last few days, after losing against Reko, he had gotten really intense into training.
Fortunately, something clicked and he began to feel like there was nothing he could not do.
It was as if his focus, his potential, his talent, everything had grown by leaps and bounds.
He could feel himself improving like crazy. And then, it happened!
He completed the technique he had been trying to learn for so long. He had finally managed to accomplish it.
"The guards at the entrance saw him enter an hour ago."
The shinobi replied quickly. He was aware that there was something going on between these two.
Asuma began to laugh hysterically as headed into the direction of Reko's home.
He ran on his way, reaching the destination in a few minutes.
"Locked? Why is it locked?"
He looked surprised. His good mood was ruined as saw that there was no trace of anyone arriving here.
"If he is not there but still entered the village… that means…"
"Right!! He's at the hokage office."
"He is taking a mission!!"
Once again decided to run, and this time he ran faster.
If Reko had not rested at his home that meant that he would leave directly after taking the mission.
He needed to meet him before that happened.
Instantly, he entered the Hokage building, reaching the office. But he could only see Shikaku Nara, only him in the office.
"Oh Reko? He left already."
Nara seemed to have guessed the reason for Asuma's visit. After all, who did not know the matter between the Hokage's student and a Hokage's son.
"How long? How long has it been?"
Asuma asked, not wanting to waste any time on this conversation.
"It's been an hour already."
However, Shikaku's reply doused him with cold water. An hour meant untraceable for the shinobi of their levels.
This left him no choice but to wait for Reko to come back. His revenge could only wait as he got stronger.
