Naruto: Wood-Wood Fruit

Back at the inn.

"By the way, that chakra wing you flew back with…. doesn't it look a bit like the Peacock Method from Hoshigakure?" 

Tsunade asked as they re-entered. She couldn't help but be curious about how Kiyoshi and Karin had managed to fly. 

Having once encountered shinobi from Hoshigakure, she remembered that village's secret technique well—a method to activate and control chakra in ways that made a lasting impression.

"It does look similar." Shizune held her pet pig, Tonton, looking equally curious. "I don't think either of you learned that technique, did you, Kiyoshi?"

"It was Kiyoshi." Karin glanced at him, and upon his nod, she quickly launched into an excited explanation.

"Tsk tsk, so that's how it was." Tsunade marveled, "Being able to activate chakra like that without Hoshigakure's radioactive 'star,' which is toxic to the body?"

Both Tsunade and Shizune were stunned, eyes wide with surprise. 

Who would have thought that a simple trip back would allow them to master Hoshigakure's secret Peacock Method, with Kiyoshi even improving on it?

"Such a convenient flying ability—one to be jealous of, really." Shizune couldn't help but admire Kiyoshi, who looked effortlessly cool. "You truly are a genius, Kiyoshi."

"If you and Tsunade-nee want to learn, I can teach you." Kiyoshi smiled. "With your chakra levels and control, you'll pick it up quickly."

"Really? Thank you so much, Kiyoshi." Shizune's eyes sparkled with excitement, happy to share in the technique without feeling too formal with her junior.

"Well, I'll happily take advantage of this opportunity." Tsunade nodded with a rare smile. 

She couldn't pass up such a practical jutsu, especially one developed by her own student. No reason not to learn it.

As for whether using Hoshigakure's secret would cause any issues—well, if it were one of the five great villages, perhaps some caution would be needed. 

But who really cared about a tiny, obscure village like Hoshigakure?

"Oh, Tsunade-sama, Shizune-san." Karin, excited, presented them with a storage scroll like a prized treasure. "Here's something I brought back for you."

With a poof, a small mountain of items appeared, most of which were snacks and delicacies from Konoha.

"These are Konoha's specialties, this sausage is homemade by my mom, and this." Karin cheerfully explained, holding two bowls of steaming ramen.

"This is Ichiraku Ramen. I bought three portions, and I added your favorite toppings, Tsunade-sama and Shizune-san. It's still warm."

"Tonton, you have a share too." 

"Tonton." Shizune and Tsunade exchanged glances and burst into laughter as Karin continued her excited introductions. 

Even the little pink pig, Tonton, happily trotted over and nuzzled her cheek.

"My, Karin, did you clear out the shops?" Tsunade chuckled, while Shizune patted Karin's head affectionately. 

This thoughtful gesture, bringing back nostalgic treats after their time away from Konoha, touched them.

It was clear she was still young, as most of the gifts were snacks.

"Hmm, it smells delicious." Shizune savored the aroma. "It's been a while since I've had Ichiraku Ramen, thank you, Karin."

Though Kiyoshi wasn't a big fan of Ichiraku Ramen, Tsunade and Shizune both held fond memories of it and eagerly dug in, not wanting to waste Karin's kindness. 

Karin beamed with happiness, eyes like crescent moons, thrilled by their praise.

"Phew." Shizune sighed, "Thank you for the meal." 

"Delicious, Karin. Thank you so much." They had finally managed to finish the generous portions of ramen she'd bought, feeling a bit overfull. 

Even Tonton lay on the ground, content.

"Kiyoshi, what about your gift?" Shizune, still holding Tonton, glanced at him with anticipation.

"Don't let me down." Tsunade added with a smile.

"Of course." Kiyoshi grinned, tossing two storage scrolls to them. 

"These are custom-made outfits I had tailored specifically for you both from one of Konoha's best boutiques." Kiyoshi explained, watching the two women's curiosity. 

"Besides a few custom kimonos, there are outfits for all four seasons."

Not only Tsunade and Shizune were included—even Kurenai and Anko each had one. 

He'd noticed that their sense of fashion was seriously lacking. If it weren't for their natural beauty, their outfits might have been. well, hard to look at.

"What's this." Shizune unrolled her scroll and found a series of outfits organized by season, each design more eye-catching than the last.

"Gulp. But. isn't this too revealing?" Shizune's cheeks flushed at the sight of a three-piece swimsuit with barely any fabric. She quickly rolled it up, flustered.

Tsunade, equally curious, checked her scroll, her face turning bright red at the speed of light as she also hurriedly stashed it behind her.

"You've put a lot of thought into this, Kiyoshi," Tsunade coughed lightly, a little embarrassed. 

Although some items, like the lingerie and miniskirts, were hard to mention, she had to admit his taste was impeccable. Quite a few pieces matched her style perfectly.

"Thank you, Kiyoshi." Shizune, her face still tinged pink, also smiled, feeling slightly bold.

She hadn't tried such daring clothing before, but Kiyoshi's encouragement had given her the courage to try. What young woman doesn't like to dress up beautifully?

"Kiyoshi." Watching Shizune pick out some particularly pretty pieces, Karin couldn't help but pout, puffing her cheeks and looking at Kiyoshi with a pitiful expression.

"How could I forget you? Here's yours." Kiyoshi tossed another scroll to her.

"I knew it." Karin grinned, quickly unrolling it, eyes shining as she admired the new styles. 

"These are so beautiful. Thank you, Kiyoshi."

"As long as you all like them." Kiyoshi's smile widened, his eyes narrowing as he innocently added.

"Since they're freshly tailored, there might be some sizing issues. How about trying them on? If anything doesn't fit, I can always have them adjusted."

He'd already taken careful measurements of each of them, there shouldn't be any problems with the fit. 

He'd even gone out of his way to design a few pieces himself, inspired by the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show of the 21st century.

"Ah?" 

The women's cheeks flushed, caught off guard by his request.
