Chapter 150: Home.

"Our current direction is to use natural energy to cultivate a monkey similar to the White Snake Sage. We'll record the process and then adjust based on the differences between humans and monkeys," Raijin said, dispersing the natural energy in his hands.

"Tsunade is analyzing the differences between humans and monkeys."

"Does losing control of natural energy turn the monkey into a stone statue?"

Senju Tobirama asked, glancing at the lifelike stone monkey in the corner while placing Mito's homemade food on the data table.

"Yes, if too much natural energy is introduced into the body, this is what happens," Raijin confirmed.

"Alright, this may be tough for you two for a while. If you find a direction, I suggest using shadow clones for experiments, so you don't neglect your own training," Senju Tobirama advised.

Experiments are important, but so is becoming stronger.

"Understood," Raijin nodded. After finishing his Senjutsu training, he had a lot to do.

He needed to catch up on his Taijutsu training.

He needed to develop his Magnet Release.

And he had to work on permanent Senjutsu.

None of these tasks could be completed in a day or two.

Luckily, the ninja world has the shadow clone technique, which allows one person to work as two.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough time.

"Eat something and then rest," 

Senju Tobirama said, nodding before leaving the lab.

"How about we visit your house tonight?" Tsunade suggested, opening the lunch box and setting out the food.

"Huh?" Raijin looked at Tsunade in surprise.

"You haven't been home for three years. Last time, only Suisei was there, right?" Tsunade handed him a pair of chopsticks.

"Alright, let's go after we eat," Raijin agreed, sitting across from Tsunade and starting to eat.

...

On the other side, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his team were also on their way to the Land of Demons.

If a ninja is rushing at full speed, they can move very quickly.

Especially for an elite squad like this.

However, the Land of Demons is extremely far from Konohagakure. Starting from the Land of Fire, they have to pass through the Land of Rain, the Land of Birds, and the Land of Bears before they can reach the Land of Demons.

Even for such an elite squad, it would take nearly a week to reach the Land of Demons while maintaining their condition.

Especially...

"We need to be alert from now on."

Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped and said to Jiraiya and Orochimaru.

"But we are still very far from the Land of Demons."

Jiraiya was puzzled and said to Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Ah, the Land of Rain is just ahead. Recently, the number of rogue ninjas in the ninja world has obviously increased."

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya and explained softly.

"Do you think I wouldn't know about this? I just wanted to test your ability to grasp information! Ah!"

Jiraiya's eyes widened, and he shouted at Orochimaru.

He looked like a leader reprimanding his subordinates.

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya with some helplessness. Now that they were on a mission, Orochimaru didn't bother to deal with Jiraiya.

"Ah, ah, you're amazing."

The perfunctory tone in his voice was almost slapped on Jiraiya's face.

But Jiraiya, as if he hadn't heard the perfunctory tone in Orochimaru's words, nodded proudly.

...

"Raijin and Tsunade are back?"

Matsuri saw Raijin and Tsunade holding hands and coming in. She was slightly stunned and then stood up to greet them.

"Have you eaten?"

With one hand holding Raijin and the other holding Tsunade, Matsuri led the two into the house.

"We've eaten."

Raijin said to Matsuri.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Raijin and Tsunade. They've grown so tall now."

Matsuri chuckled and nodded.

After three years of not seeing each other, for some reason, she felt a bit strange.

"But we're back, aren't we? Princess Matsuri has become more beautiful."

Raijin naturally felt this strangeness and said to Matsuri with a smile.

"You're so rude."

Matsuri slapped Raijin on the back without good temper, but with this little joke, the strangeness of not seeing each other for three years dissipated a lot at this moment.

When they entered the house, they saw Motohide playing chess with Suisei.

So Raijin put his hands behind his back and strolled over to Motohide.

"Yo, our captain's chess skills haven't declined over the years, have they?"

"That's right! After all, I've lived more than a decade longer than some squad leaders."

Upon hearing this, Motohide raised his eyebrows slightly and gently nudged his son standing behind him with his elbow.

Raijin cooperated and bowed his body.

On the other side, Tsunade was sitting with Matsuri, chatting.

"I heard that you and Raijin are developing Senjutsu?"

Matsuri poured a cup of tea for Tsunade, and Tsunade took it with both hands.

Today, Senju Tobirama came over and talked about this. Both Matsuri and Motohide are very supportive of this matter.

"Yes, my grandfather hopes to develop a Senjutsu that can enhance physical fitness and increase lifespan."

Tsunade said to Matsuri.

"Um, is the experiment still going smoothly?"

"Actually, not really."

At this moment, Raijin came to Tsunade's side and spoke to Matsuri, while pouring himself a cup of tea.

"It's just that your son is too excellent, the progress is too fast, it can't be suppressed."

Facing Matsuri's puzzled and concerned gaze, Raijin raised his eyebrows and said with a playful smile.

"I believe that, my son is indeed too excellent."

Uchiha Motohide, who was playing chess on the side, heard this and slowly said with a smirk.

"Well, after all, he is my younger brother there's no helping it."

Suisei also raised her eyebrows and shook his head while playing chess.

"You guys!"

Matsuri glanced at Tsunade, who couldn't help but laugh across from her, and said unhappily.

"Why don't you stay here tonight?"

Matsuri glanced at Raijin, who was heading towards the chess game, and said to Tsunade.

"Sure."

Tsunade nodded in response without any hesitation.

...

"Suisei, you can't do this, you have to play like this."

At this time, Raijin was standing behind Suisei, frowning and pointing.

Suisei pursed his lips and ignored Raijin.

"Tsk, I told you so, you can't do it, can you?"

Watching Suisei fall into a disadvantage, Raijin continued to point and mock.

"Come on, you come, you come!"

Suisei suddenly stood up and said to Raijin.

Seeing this, Motohide and Matsuri couldn't help but show a slight smile.

It's been a long time since they had such a family reunion.
