A Journey Through the Universes

Chapter 82: Breaking camp

It's been a long time since we performed.

It was getting dark, it was necessary to set up camp.

During this day we ran a third of the way, which is a lot. If everything goes as it should, then we will be there in two days.

And by the way, nothing has happened in all this time. No problems, no strange encounters.

Tsunade, finding a small, neat clearing, commanded. "We'll set up camp here.

Jiraya fell to the grass with a tired smile, muttering along the way. Ugh. Finally rest.

Not yet," Orochi said in a calm voice. We need to set up camp and cook dinner.

Fear and rejection appeared on the white-headed man's face.

Oh, no.

- Yes. It's your turn today. Orochi said with a small smile.

I think he's taking some sadistic pleasure in saying this to Jiraya right now. That's right they say: "There are devils in a quiet pool..."

Okay, I'll lend a helping hand.

If you haven't forgotten, I told you that I love and know how to cook. having said that, he pulled out a pot and other accessories from the sealed space.

Exactly! Tetsuya, you are my savior! No, you are our savior! Jiraya exclaimed joyfully, giving me a grateful look.

Fool, do you think this is all for free? Someday you will repay my debts... Ke-ke-ke..Ahem, okay.

Wow! Jiraya trembled a little for a few seconds, hugging himself.

What is it? Tsuna asked, looking at him warily.

I don't know, but I just had a herd of goosebumps running down my back!

Don't think about it, you're just tired. exhaling, she replied.

Maybe you're right. he said, but still looked in different directions.

How sensitive he is. Okay, enough fooling around, it's time to get started.

Having arranged a place for cooking in the shortest possible time, I was about to start, but I was interrupted.

Tsunade came up to me and asked. Do you need help?

I don't need any help at all, but I couldn't and didn't want to give up the opportunity to be with her.

Moreover, I can see that she just wants to spend time with me.

It looks like the girl is starting to show interest in me. This, of course, was noticeable before, but now I am completely sure of it. According to Jirai's stories, Tsunade does not know how and does not like to cook, but here In general, everything is clear even to a stupid person.

I also like Tsunade, though only as an adult, but already now the girl has her own unique charm.

And I even have plans for Tsunade, yet any respectful the reincarnator in this world are obliged to make this hot-tempered woman happy.

The only problem is that Tsuna will definitely not agree to a harem. At least the original one would definitely disagree.

I have no choice but to influence her with small manipulations.

I'm not going to change it in any particular way, yet I like Tsunade the way she is.

The only thing I want is her consent to the harem.

Haa... at such moments, I fully realize how self-centered an asshole I am.

This little girl is now standing in front of the house and awkwardly crumples, waiting for my answer, sincerely hoping for consent, absolutely unaware that the little, charming boy in front of her is an immortal traveler between worlds that loves to collect girls

Thanks to Tsunade, but I don't need any help.

I see. She replied with a smile.

I only see that behind her smile she hides frustration and sadness.

Although I won't mind your company. Help me chop the vegetables.

- OK. she answered joyfully, already really sincerely.

I feel like shit... okay, there's no point in thinking about it, it's better to send the clones to training.

By folding the seal and using the chakra, he created fifty clones.

With the sound of *POOF*, they appeared in a clearing with smoke, and then, without any conversation, they split into groups and went to train.

And why is that? she asked in bewilderment, looking at the fleeing clones.

Training. Clones transmit memories, after all. This way you can significantly speed up your learning.

A second of awareness and Tsunade's eyes widen in surprise.

This is It's just unbelievable. With this technique, I could not only improve faster, but also have a lot more free time. she whispered in shock.

Then her eyes looked at me with a burning gaze. That's what the look said: "I want to! I want, I want, I want! Give me this technique!".

You heard the Hokage. He said you can't use this jutsu yet.

Her ardent gaze did not even waver.

Eh ... well, how can I refuse here. Yes, and in the future it will count with her.

Good, good. Stop looking at me like that. I'll give you this technique..." she was already jumping for joy... "But only on one condition. I finished quickly, raising my finger.

Tsuna, who was already jumping with joy, stopped and listened attentively, asked.

What condition?

You should not create more than two clones being with a full chakra hearth. If you've spent your chakra, then don't even think about using the technique. Ok? I was talking as seriously as possible. Looking into her eyes.

- OK. I will not. she also answered seriously.

Well, that's good.

Damn, this is a rather strange situation... a four-year-old mentors an eight-year-old. I wonder if this can only be in this world or not?

Of course, in this world, children grow much faster both physically and mentally, but not to the same extent

Ten minutes later, under my careful guidance, Tsuna created her first shadow clone.

It's strange to look at yourself from the outside like this... Tsunade said, examining her copy.

I agree. the copy replied that she had considered her original in the same way.

After watching enough, Tsunade coughed into her fist and said.

- OK. Go and train

Control? I know this, yet we are one. the clone interrupted her, looking at Tsuna with boredom, and then running away, sat down in the lotus position.

Tsunade looked discouraged as her clone left to train.

Are your clones also... with character? "What is it?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

She looks pretty funny and cute right now.

no. My clones are not like that. It probably depends on the nature of the original.

Looking at me a little angrily, the girl asked loudly.

Aah? Is there something you want to tell me?

Oh, no, nothing. Let's go cook better, otherwise the guys are probably already starving. I said quickly, changing the subject.

Ah, her temper is pretty cute, and I like her, but sometimes it can cause problems.

Half an hour later, dinner was ready.

Nothing serious happened during this half hour.

We were just having a nice chat. I also taught her cooking, for which she was grateful to me.

How delicious it smells! Jiraya exclaimed as he approached the fire.

Orochi, who was walking next to him, nodded, agreeing with what was said.

This couple, while we were cooking, pitched tents and looked around the neighborhood for the presence of guests who might suddenly show up to us.

Is there something? Tsuna asked them.

Jiraya, with difficulty tearing his eyes away from the pot, replied. No. There's nothing around. Quiet and smooth, even there are no predators. The night promises to be calm... and what have you prepared?

The bald man was literally choking on saliva.

Potatoes stewed with meat. It will be ready in ten minutes. I replied, stirring the contents of the pot.

Jiraya sat down nearby and began to wait.

However, five minutes later he got up and ran away screaming.

I can't! This is real torture! Call me when it's ready!

Orochimaru also had a stronger will and patience, but he, sitting nearby, tried to meditate, breathing in the tempting aroma of my cooking.

Tsunade didn't hold back either. The only thing holding her back right now was me. She doesn't want my eyes to see her so... pathetic. If I hadn't been here, she would have already run away screaming, just like Jiraya.

Done! We can sit down. I said after the test.

As soon as my words left my mouth, Jiraya ran out of the forest at great speed, holding a large wooden plate with the same wooden spoon in his hands. He cried as he ran and screamed.

Kami-sama! I thought I was going to die! Tetsuya, you need to work in the intelligence department! No one can conceal information under such tortures! It's just inhumane!

I'll think about it. I said with a grin, accepting and filling his plate.

Then there was a meal.

And if Orochimaru and Tsunade ate with their eyes closed and enjoying the taste, then Jiraya

Jiraya reminded me of those people from the anime "Fighter Chef, Soma" who tasted the cooking of Soma himself.

Seriously. There were so many emotions on his face. So much pleasure that I thought he was going to either have an orgasm or start undressing.

Thank you Tetsuya. It was very good. I've never tasted anything tastier. Orochi said with a sincere smile.

It's quite amazing to see Orochimaru smiling. And it's also amazing to hear him say quite a lot, compared to his usual self.

I won't lie, it's nice to hear gratitude.

You're welcome, Orochimaru. Get used to the fact that with me in the team you will eat like this quite often. Besides, not only I cooked, but also Tsunade," I said, looking at the blonde who was sitting on a stump with a satisfied smile.

Ha ha. Don't make them laugh Tetsuya, they know perfectly well how I cook. We know that

And yet, you helped me. I think a few such lessons and you will be able to cook no worse.

Flatterer," she said, pleased with my words.

I just grinned at that without answering in any way.

Jiraya is on duty first this night, because he ate the most. said Tsuna, looking at the white-headed man who was now lying on the ground rubbing his big belly.

Seriously, this guy personally ate the floor of the pot, although according to the plans it was also to have breakfast! Akimichi's illegitimate son, damn him!

Okay, I agree. with his eyes closed, on a super-satisfied face, he said.

Finally, having dispersed to our tents, we went to sleep.

And so the day ended.
