Kisame

Kisame is obviously a muscular man, but his body is not stiff at all, infact it's very flexible, even more flexible than a woman.

"What are you going to teach me?"

Tsunade asked curiously.

"I'll teach you a lot of movements, but they all have a common name - Yoga."

Kisame uttered a word that made Tsunade feel that it's mysterious and unfamiliar.

"Yoga? What is that?"

"It's a relatively static way of fitness. Daily practice can help you calm your mind and body and forget about pain and unhappiness."

Kisame explained and suggested, "Let's get started, I will explain while doing the action, which will make you understand faster."

Five minutes later.

"Is this it?"

Tsunade knelt on the mat in a crawling position, with both hands and knees on the ground. She raised her butt and head as looked up at Kisame in front of her, and asked suspiciously.

This somewhat shameful action made her wonder if Kisame was playing tricks on her on purpose.

"Yes, it's very standard. This movement is called the cat-cow pose, and it is a must for beginners to practice yoga."

Kisame checked Tsunade's posture, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, he continued to explain to her, "Remember, while inhaling raise your head and hips like a cow, and while exhaling, bow your head, and curl your tailbone like a cat. Now follow me, do this movement in eight sets."

After speaking, he walked to the mat next to him and gave a serious demonstration.

Seeing that Kisame was so serious, Tsunade didn't want to say anything more, and finished this group of exercises with him.

"Okay, next move."

Kisame continued to teach.

Next, he taught Tsunade in turn—bridge pose, plow pose, double angle pose, downward dog pose, cobra pose, butterfly pose, happy baby pose and other classic yoga movements.

During this period, Shizune and Yukino were also attracted and watched curiously.

Many of the movements and postures made them blush.

However, when the two heard Kisame said that practicing yoga can eliminate fat, firm skin, and shape a good figure, they were also moved.

Women love beauty.

"I'm exhausted!"

Tsunade finished the last pose, shouted, and lay on the mat without any care for image. Her chest heaved violently, and she was dripping with sweat.

"That's it for today's practice."

Kisame stood up from the mat, walked in front of Tsunade, and instructed her, "When you go back tonight, remember to review these movements again before going to bed. I will check your homework tomorrow."

"Does this thing really work?"

Tsunade sat up from the mat, skeptical, as she felt that it is waste of time.

"It's not good to be too impatient. Even learning a ninjutsu takes a lot of time, let alone this kind of self-cultivation exercise?"

After Kisame finished saying these words with a serious face, he turned and walked into the house.

The next day.

After filming is over.

"You came."

In the yard, Kisame looked at Tsunade in front of him with some surprise.

He thought she would be hot for three minutes and would not come again today.

"The moves you taught me, which I did last night and this morning, seem to… really have some effect. After I did it, I felt calm and relaxed."

Tsunade frowned and truthfully expressed her feelings.

"It seems that you have a very high talent for practicing yoga."

Kisame nodded and commented.

"What do we practice today, or are they the same poses as yesterday?"

Tsunade said as she took the initiative to pick up the mat and spread it on the ground.

" Ofcourse not."

Kisame shook his head, "What I taught you yesterday was only basic basic movements for entry-level. Next, there are more difficult advanced postures."

"Then let's get started." Tsunade urged, full of anticipation.

In this way, Kisame became Tsunade's Yoga trainer.

Due to the impact of the tsunami, the filming schedule of the crew was postponed again, but this also gave Tsunade enough time to learn Yoga with the ghost shark.

These days, according to Kisame's guidance, she lives and rests regularly every day, and insists on practicing yoga in the morning and evening.

During this process, Tsunade found that her mentality was really calm, and she was no longer as irritable as before.

Although it is said that there is still not much hope for overcoming hemophobia, at least she has gradually learned to control her body and mind like Kisame.

Her trips to the town's casinos have also decreased significantly.

To get rid of a bad life habit, the best way is not to force yourself to quit, but to replace it with another good way of life.

This is what Kisame told her.

A week later.

After more than three months, the filming of "Sharks on the Beach" finally came to a successful conclusion.

Tonight, in the hotel there will have a grand celebration feast. After that, the crew, who had lived together for three months, will part ways.

Kisame got his five million ryo.

Carrying a suitcase full of banknotes, he was ready to go home, explain to Yukino, and set off for Kirigakure early tomorrow morning.

As for the celebration dinner, he was not interested in attending it.

At this time.

Tsunade found Kisame.

"That...thank you for teaching me Yoga these days. Those poses although shameful, they really work."

She blushed slightly and thanked Kisame.

"If you really want to thank me, come with something more practical in return."

Kisame was not polite at all, as always, he stretched out his hand to ask Tsunade for a favor.

"You bastard, what a disappointment."

Tsunade's face suddenly collapsed, and the little goodwill she finally had for Kisame these days has disappeared again.

She snorted coldly, took out a bottle of colorless and odorless potion from her pocket, and handed it to him:

"This is the high-level poison you want. I used that guy Jiraiya to do many experiments before successfully developing it. The amount here is enough to make the ten jonin lose their combat effectiveness."

When Kisame heard the words, his eyes lit up as he took the poison.

He finally got this thing.

In this way, all he wanted to get from Tsunade was one last piece of information.

But it is also the most important one.

"I'm curious about something, and I've been wanting to ask you for advice."

He stopped Tsunade, lowered his posture and asked her, "I heard... When the first Hokage was pacifying the ninja world, the weapon he used was the great sword of the Senju clan and that it was very powerful, is it true?"

"Hmph, of course."

Tsunade folded her arms around her chest with a proud face.

"Then why haven't I seen you use it, as the granddaughter of the first Hokage, you should have inherited that sword, right?" Kisame asked this.

"Why are you asking this?"

Tsunade glanced at Kisame, and suddenly became vigilant, always feeling that the other party was conspiring to do something wrong.

However, she still replied indifferently:

"That thing is big and heavy. I'm not used to it, and I don't want to carry a large scroll around all day. So I put it in the Shikkotsu Forest along with the storage scroll."

Shikkotsu Forest.

When Kisame heard these words, his pupils shrank and his eyes became smaller.

The Shikkotsu Forest, far away from the Ninja world, is the place where the slug sage live.

Among the three holy places, the Shikkotsu Forest has always been the most mysterious. Except for Tsunade, the contractor, there is no second person in the entire ninja world who knows where it is and how to get there.

Tsunade couldn't have found a safer place to store the scroll and great sword of the Senju clan than it.

That's why she dared to tell Kisame casually about this information.

"Why, you seem to be very interested in Shikkotsu forest. Have you heard of the slug summons and sage arts?"

Tsunade likes to see the surprise look on Kisame's face. So she can't help but tease him.

"I happened to hear from third Mizuying-sama mention it. He once said with emotion that the three Sage realms have signed a summoning contract with Konoha Sannin, and let Konoha village monopolize powerful Sage arts. It really doesn't give other ninja villages a way to survive."

Kisame made up a lie randomly.

"Bullshit."

Tsunade sneered at such remarks, "The Sages of the three Sage realms have used their own methods since a long time ago to select candidates from the whole ninja world who are suitable for practicing Sage arts. We Konoha Sannin have never monopolized Sage arts, it's just that other people's qualifications are too poor to pass the test."

"Oh? Then Tsunade-sama, what qualifications do you need to practice Sage arts?"

Kisame followed her words and asked for advice curiously.

"Since you asked the question sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy. Cough..."

Tsunade cleared her throat and showed off her knowledge to Kisame.

"First of all, they must have a huge Chakra that is far beyond ordinary people. Only in this way can they not be swallowed by the natural energy of the Sage realm."

"Secondly, ninjas must learn to calm down, understand the technique of 'not moving', and keep their minds as still as water. It is impossible for an impatient person to learn Sage arts."

Speaking of which, Tsunade was a little annoyed, because she was the one who was impatient.

"In the end, only with perseverance and a strong will can you become a real Sage. This is the truth that my grandfather once told me."

After saying this, Tsunade suddenly froze, staring straight at Kisame.

Huge chakra.

A stillness of mind.

Perseverance and a strong will that never give up.

These three points, the guy in front of her... seems to have all of them, which perfectly meets the conditions for training Sage arts.

"Do you think I can practice Sage arts?"
