Chapter 332: The Situation in the Land of Rain
Ever since awakening his Wood Release, Ginji's daily life had grown monotonous. He was either training or heading to training.
The only bright spot in his routine was the young girl, Satsuki, who came to keep him company every day. Even Orochimaru had no objections to this arrangement.
A fulfilling time always passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, a month had gone by. Ginji had gradually adjusted to his rigorous training schedule.
He was growing rapidly, and Sakumo couldn't help but notice that Ginji's constitution was much stronger than Kakashi's. It was as though Ginji didn't know what exhaustion was, training tirelessly unless someone called a halt. Sakumo could only admire the incredible genes Kawakaze and Tsunade had passed down to him.
As he watched his younger brother's remarkable growth, Kakashi pushed himself harder than ever. The thought of being surpassed by his younger brother was unbearable, and he was determined to stay ahead.
Seeing Kakashi's renewed efforts, Kawakaze felt both pleased and relaxed. He had always been good at delegating responsibilities, and with Sakumo being far more reliable than himself, Kawakaze had nothing to worry about.
This allowed him to spend more time with Tsunade without any burdens, and he couldn't have been happier.
Knock, knock, knock.
"Come in," Tsunade said from behind her desk, not bothering to look up.
"Lady Hokage," Hayato Yamanaka announced as he pushed the door open.
"What is it now?" Tsunade asked, running a hand through her hair. The sight of Hayato's overly serious expression only added to her irritation. She braced herself for whatever trouble he had to report this time.
