"This punch simply takes the chakra control to a whole other level."

Tsunade marveled at Akabane's ability to use his ninjutsu, but at the same time, she was extremely distressed. "Doesn't that mean it needs much stronger control?"

"You said that you're clueless, I just gave you a clue, the rest is up to you to figure out."

After Akabane finished speaking, the illusion collapsed.

How to learn it was her problem to solve. This is the process she must go through.

But she is too impatient now, if he intervenes more than this, it would be bad for her.

"You are right. There is already a clue. I'll figure it out myself."

If it's just control, I can do it!

Tsunade took a deep breath, then jumped up and continued her training.

BOOM!

Her movements were still full of flaws.

At first, Tsunade was a little impatient, but after a few tries, she gradually figured some tricks, and her chakra control became more stable.

Akabane was not surprised by her progress.

After all, she will be one of the Three Legendary Sannin.

It was coming from her personality and mentality. She just needs a little guidance.

After she settles down, she will slowly get used to it, and everything will come naturally.

"It's amusing when you're serious."

He stepped aside, lying on the grass while watching her.

The noise came one after another, but the sounds and movements were becoming more and more consistent, it would be safe to assume that she had made great progress.

She began to control her strength and no longer spends chakra unnecessarily.

Akabane spent the afternoon with the ear-filling roar until evening…

"Hahahaha, I finally made it."

With a big laugh, she quickly bombarded the ground with one punch, and every punch had equal power.

"That was just the first step, and now you have another mission."

After Akabane finished speaking. He yawns, looking sleepy.

Although this place is only a barren land, it still belongs to Uzumaki Village, and she smashed it until it became unrecognizable, so she needs to restore it back to its former state.

"I know, you don't need to remind me."

Tsunade smiled and started to push back the surrounding soil and rocks.

As Akabane said, controlling her power is only the first step.

If she wants to use the full potential of chakra control, she must control it while exploding the force at one point.

Moreover, real chakra control is not just relying on fists but can be used anywhere within her body.

In short, Tsunade wasn't even close.

"Well, the only benefit with so many holes here is that, in the future, you can plant some trees." Akabane stood up and looked around while joking.

Tsunade surprisingly did not refute, but was silent for a moment and said, "That's good, at least it shows that I'm useful."

"Ha, don't be arrogant."

Akabane kicked some dirt in with his foot, pretending to be helping her clean up the mess.

"That's true. At least I can fight a Chuunin. Much better than that idiot, Jiraiya." Tsunade said with a smile.

"Jiraiya, he is really stupid for a lot of reasons."

Akabane seemed to have a feeling, glanced back, and then agreed with her, knowing Jiraiya's character.

A moment later…

"Damn your flat chest, talking behind my back again!?"

An angry voice came from the forest behind, and a figure jumped out of the tree in the next second and revealed his identity.

"Jiraiya?!!!"

Tsunade was surprised and delighted but followed by another burst of anger.

Flat chest!?

What a joke! I just haven't developed it!

She clenched her fist and about to rush towards him, but she took a deep breath and told herself, "Huff-, Restraint…"

"Hey, Jiraiya! Where did you go?"

Akabane asked while smiling gladly.

"Do not mention it. A weird place, I was forced to learn some weird ancient ninjutsu, and I still haven't figured it out yet."

Jiraiya also looked distressed and sighed, "I have to go back there within a few days."

"Oh, that's just your style, Stupid. But to meet that kind of thing, all of a sudden, is a once-in- three-lifetime blessing, you should cherish it."

Tsunade's words were harsh, but they also implied that she was concerned about him.

Jiraiya didn't notice it at all. Instead, he was angry with Tsunade's harsh words and retorted, "Blessing? I don't need to rely on such a place!"

"Okay, okay, but Jiraiya, you must learn it diligently, don't waste such luck," Akabane interrupted their meaningless quarrel and continued to ask, "Did you say that someone forced you to practice?"

"Yes. That place is called Mountain Myoboku. There was a group of weird toads, I couldn't believe it. First, there are such strong toads in this world!" Jiraiya remembered some of it with a bit of fear on his face.

Although his whole body was sore from the training, he had to admit that he made rapid progress during his time in the mountain.

"Mount Myoboku, huh?"

Akabane nodded, getting the answer that he already knew.

The sacred Mount Myoboku is full of mystery, and only a few people know of their existence.

"Yeah, and I even saw a super scary big snake there!" Jiraiya showed off excitedly.

"Big snake? With so many terrifying beasts on Mount Myoboku, there are still snakes who dare to go there!?" Tsunade's surprise was authentic.

Although a snake is a toad predator, in a fight with a big toad and a big snake.. It was too much for her to swallow.

"If Mount Myoboku is a sacred place for the toads, and that kind of serpent dares to go there, it might also be a sacred place for the other intelligent beasts." Akabane said his 'guess'.

"Indeed. I asked the toad, and it told me that the snake was from the Ryuchi Cave." Jiraiya replied.

"Ryuchi Cave… is as mysterious as Mount Myoboku." Akabane sighed lightly, and couldn't help but envy the Sannins' luck.

Ryuchi Cave, Myoboku Mountain, and Shikkotsu Forest are all the sacred places where the three beasts are located, which were met by Sannin in the future. They will act as the protagonists of the Second Ninja World War.

However, it is not bad to get two names at once, and the corresponding information will appear in the comics.

He secretly said in his heart.

"By the way, where's Orochimaru? I feel stronger now, I want to test it on him!"

Jiraiya looked very arrogant and wanted to find someone to fight.

He first wanted to challenge Tsunade, but when he jumped down from the tree and saw the big holes on the ground, he immediately stopped his foolish thoughts since he still wanted to live.

Akabane was speechless.

He didn't know whether to say it or not. Just like Naruto changed Sasuke's character when he became stronger, maybe Jiraiya would make a change in Orochimaru's character, which was already a little broken, with his refound strength.

Unlike the original plot, Jiraiya now has the influence of Akabane, which caused minor changes in his personality and mindset. So maybe with Jiraiya's change he can influence Orochimaru's decisions in the future.

What will Orochimaru do when he sees Jiraiya?

He was already feeling the pressure from Akabane surpassing him, so with his teammate added to that, how would he react?

Tsunade also considered this point and did not answer for a while.

Just when the two of them were lost in thought, a voice of Hiruzen came, "He is on the mountain behind Uzumaki Village. If you want to find him, then go."

"Thank you, Sensei. Wait until I defeat Orochimaru, and then I'll tell you everything that has happened."

Jiraiya immediately jumped up to the treetops and headed towards the back of the mountain.

"Will they be okay, Sensei?" Tsunade asked worriedly.

"It will be fine, don't underestimate Orochimaru." Hiruzen said while smoking his pipe.

"Perhaps."

Akabane did not refute, and the future is inherently uncertain. Deep within his heart, he wants to know what happened to the Sannin during their training times. The times Orochimaru is still very young and different from the future, before Orochimaru became 'evil'.
