Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

Feeling somewhat embarrassed by the stare, Tobirama Senju suppressed his surprise. As the developer, he was well aware of the difficulty of the Flying Thunder God Technique.

However, he was more concerned about where Koki had learned this ninjutsu.

Could this kid have secretly sneaked into the Ninja Artifact Storage?

Chapter 5 The Second Hokage Gets Tricked

Tobirama Senju dispelled his doubts and appeared on the arena.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I lost."

Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at Tobirama Senju's place.

"It's alright. Failure is something you're bound to experience in life. This will be a valuable battle experience. You should be glad that this kind of failure didn't happen on the battlefield."

Tobirama comforted Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Kurugi, right? You are qualified to join the Ninja Academy. You are now the thirty-ninth student of the Ninja Academy. Come to the academy for formal classes tomorrow morning at eight o'clock."

"Okay, Hokage-sama."

Gu Mu remained expressionless.

After saying that, he left directly.

Seeing that his son, who was displaying his talent, didn't give him a kind look, Tobirama secretly pouted.

Is this brat still throwing a tantrum?

However, when Tobirama saw that his son had left in the direction of a Uchiha brat, his brows furrowed slightly.

......

"Thank you for your longsword. My name is Gu Mu. What is your name?"

Gu Mu looked around at the people who made way for him as he jumped down, and took the initiative to come to the side of the girl with long black hair.

"Uchiha Shizuku".

Uchiha Shizuru seemed to notice the intense gaze of the old man, turned her head slightly, and somewhat uncomfortably brushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

She didn't meet his gaze, because she had a persistent feeling that she would be swallowed up by the ancient tree.

[Uchiha Shizuru felt panicked, reaping +200 emotion points]

"Ahem, the weather is nice today. Do you have time to grab a bite to eat? It's on me, as a way of thanking you for your longsword."

"Without your long sword, I might not have been able to win."

Gu Mu smiled calmly.

He knew that his gaze had indeed crossed the line. But what could he do? She was his little girlfriend, just as cute as she was when she was a child. He really wanted to give her a good kiss.

Uchiha Shizumizu was right; Koki really did want to eat her just now.

"Forget it, it's nothing. I'm leaving now."

Uchiha Shizusui felt a sense of fear.

Clutching the long sword in both hands, he slunk away.

[Uchiha Shizuru felt fear, reaping +200 emotional points]

[Current emotional state: 500]

Gu Mu sighed and facepalmed at the system's notification; this girl was still afraid of him.

......

They returned to their desolate residence.

Although the house looked large, the only living people were Koki and Senju Yingliu, who had always taken care of him.

"Young Master, your performance today is truly astonishing! When did your swordsmanship become so formidable?"

Upon returning home, Senju Yingliu immediately asked excitedly.

"Who knows? Maybe I'm just a natural-born swordsmanship genius."

Gu Mu squatted on the stones in the courtyard and began to strap weights onto his body.

He clearly discovered that the maximum force he could withstand had increased by a full third.

Looks like I still need to take advantage of my girlfriend.

"Genius?"

Qian Shou Yingliu muttered to himself, recalling how the young master had secretly and painstakingly cultivated over the years.

There are no geniuses; it's just the result of day after day. There are always people who try to attribute other people's efforts to the word "genius."

Only those so-called 'geniuses' know how difficult it has been for them all these years.

Before Senju Yingliu could recall, she suddenly looked towards the courtyard wall, her expression changing.

"Wait!! Young Master, someone's coming!"

Thousand Hands Yingliu instantly appeared in front of the ancient tree.

"Not bad, Yingliu. Your perception hasn't deteriorated yet."

Hearing a familiar voice behind her, Senju Yingliu turned around with a surprised expression.

"Lord Hokage, what brings you here?"

If she remembered correctly, Tobirama hadn't been back here for about six months.

"Ahem, taking over the Hokage position means I have too many things to handle."

Tobirama Senju coughed lightly.

Without saying much, he turned to the ancient tree and demanded, "Where did you learn your Flying Thunder God Technique?"

This is very much in line with his decisive and efficient personality.

"Father, what a coincidence! You're such a busy man, yet you still have a chance to come home?"

Koki's teasing made Tobirama's lips twitch; this brat didn't take him seriously at all.

"However, Flying Thunder God is not a bad name. From now on, let's call this ninjutsu Flying Thunder God."

The old tree lay on the rocks, hands behind its head, legs crossed, looking nonchalant.

"What do you mean? Flying Thunder God Technique, you didn't steal it from someone else?"

As Tobirama Senju stared at the ancient tree, he had unknowingly begun to test its character.

"steal?"

"Father, how could you say such hurtful things? Do you think I'm the kind of person who would steal?"

Koki's earnestness made Tobirama ponder; this appearance certainly didn't seem like he was lying.

“I took it openly and honestly.”

"You little rascal, you're trying to annoy me, aren't you?"

Tobirama knew this guy was joking.

"Why are you angry? I took it anyway."

"Huh? You really went to the Ninja Archives?"

Koki's seriousness made Tobirama's eyes narrow; he was already thinking about how to punish the boy later.

"Father~ What ninja library? I took the talent from my own brain."

Gu Mu pointed to his forehead and revealed a rather pleased smile.

......

It was only at this moment that Tobirama Senju realized he had been tricked by his rebellious son.

Without uttering a sound, Tobirama Senju left the place the moment he got the answer he wanted.

"Young Master, isn't this a bit inappropriate? Is the Hokage angry?"

“Getting angry? Old Deng wouldn’t be so bored.”

Gu Mu shook his head slightly.

He knew that if Old Deng found out he had secretly learned the techniques, he would definitely punish him severely.

The reason I came here is because I have no evidence.

Unfortunately, he didn't actually learn this ninjutsu by stealing it.

......

The next day, Gu Mu got up early.

Looking at Senju Yingliu, who had already prepared a student uniform for him, he said helplessly, "Sister Yingliu, didn't I say that I can handle this kind of thing myself?"

In the past, he wouldn't have cared, but now it's different; his girlfriend has arrived.

That silly boy is incredibly jealous.
