Konoha: Tsunade, I am the Hokage

Chapter 14 I've brought you an IOU!

Tsunade sat up straight and adjusted her clothes.

She still didn't want to appear too unrestrained in front of unfamiliar children.

Then, her gaze swept across the room, pausing slightly as she passed Kyohiko.

then.

"I didn't expect you to lead another team. It seems you've grown to like being a teacher."

"Haha, being a teacher isn't so bad, they are all very excellent children."

Jiraiya entered and sat down.

Then, he introduced them one by one.

Everyone responded in the same way.

Jingyan glanced at Shizune beside him and subtly greeted her as well.

Shizune, who had previously dared to argue with Tsunade, now stood awkwardly to the side, glancing at the three of them from time to time.

but.

She was visibly shocked when she saw Kyohiko.

Kyohiko was not outstanding in school; his academic and practical performance were both mediocre. However, after two years, he graduated early and became Jiraiya's subordinate.

Silent, filled with curiosity.

But with Tsunade and Jiraiya present, she dared not ask.

Tsunade's gaze swept over them.

Shuo Mao's son.

Then, she thought of the rumors about Shuo Mao from a few days ago, and her eyes darkened as she glanced at the second person.

Red sunset.

Shinku's daughter must have some talent in illusion magic, as for the rest...

Her gaze swept over Jiraiya, and she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Logically speaking, Kurenai Yuhi doesn't fit Jiraiya's abilities, so could this guy be after the girl's looks?

Tsunade's gaze gradually shifted from confusion to seriousness and anger.

Jiraiya, knowing his partner all too well, immediately waved his hands repeatedly, his face turning pale, and whispered, "It's not what you think! Don't misunderstand!"

Then, he coughed lightly.

"Kyohiko, why don't you take everyone outside to have some fun first? I need to talk to Tsunade alone for a bit."

"yes!"

Kyohiko nodded and led everyone out of the cubicle, but they didn't go far. They just wandered around downstairs, mainly to give Tsunade and Jiraiya space to chat.

Tsunade leaned against the window, squinting as she looked down.

"So, in your team, that kid is the one in charge? Yoshimine Kyohiko, I seem to remember him, but not very well."

His grandmother was Senju Momoka.

Jiraiya explains.

Tsunade paused slightly, her gaze sweeping downwards.

"Is he a descendant of Aunt Taohua?"

"Yes, his parents are mediocre, but this child seems to have inherited the powerful bloodline of the Senju clan. What's even more remarkable is that his thinking and consciousness were very mature even in childhood."

Jiraiya said seriously, "I believe he has the potential to become the second Second Hokage."

"It's rare to hear you give such high praise."

Tsunade leaned against the window, looking down at the boy leading the group.

The descendants of Tao Hua...

Momoka Senju was a close confidante of Hashirama Senju, and she was addressed as "aunt" by him back then.

unconsciously.

She already has grandchildren.

Unfortunately, Aunt Taohua also passed away.

Tsunade's gaze was dark.

She sat back down, her mood not very high: "You don't mean you want him to persuade me to go back to Konoha, do you?"

I won't try to persuade you to go back to Konoha.

Jiraiya shook his head.

He knew Tsunade's situation; forcing her to go back would be asking the impossible and wouldn't help the overall situation.

As a friend, he didn't want to force the issue.

Jiraiya paused for a moment, then got down to business: "What do you think of Kurenai Yuhi?"

"what?"

Tsunade paused slightly, then chuckled, "You wouldn't be thinking of making her my disciple, would you?"

"His talent for controlling chakra is top-notch. His physique is a bit weak, but he can make up for it with hard work. He is not completely incapable."

Jiraiya replied.

Tsunade remained silent.

That's not wrong.

Those skilled in illusion techniques often possess very precise chakra manipulation.

While physical attributes can indeed be improved somewhat through acquired means, there are limits, which is why Kurenai Yuhi also found it difficult to obtain her complete inheritance...

but.

If taught well, the village can at least have another new generation leader in medical ninjutsu.

She thought for a moment.

"Let's learn it and see."

I'll take that as a yes.

Zilai also laughed.

Tsunade didn't object, but instead yawned.

At this moment, Jiraiya smiled and said, "The last thing is most related to you."

"besides?"

"Yes, Matsuyama Koji of the Seika-kan asked me to deliver an IOU to you."

Jiraiya grinned from ear to ear.

A note was pushed in front of Tsunade.

Tsunade's face darkened instantly, the drowsiness from her yawn vanished in an instant, and she glared fiercely at Jiraiya, saying, "You bastard!"

"Ahem, you have a reputation, how can you skip out on the bill?"

Jiraiya pushed it over.

Tsunade snorted coldly, took out a pen, and was about to sign her name on the IOU when her eyes suddenly lit up. She said, "You're asking for favors for your disciple, so you have to give something in return. Help me pay off the debt!"

"what?"

Anyway, you're much richer than me.

Tsunade smiled.

Jiraiya's expression stiffened.

That's true, but didn't he send an IOU?

How did I get myself into this mess!

……

Two girls walked in front.

Kyohiko and Kakashi followed behind.

"I never expected that Kyohiko-kun would graduate early and become Jiraiya-sama's disciple."

She said quietly.

Kurenai couldn't help but smile: "What's so special about Kyohiko graduating at seven? Kakashi graduated at five!"

"This is different."

Silent head shake.

She sighed, "Kakashi was a genius from a young age. Our generation practically grew up hearing about Kakashi, while Kyohiko..."

People like Kai are a minority.

Everyone has always admired Kakashi, and they know that it will be difficult for them to catch up with him.

Jingyan is different.

Who had heard of him before?

Even though Shizune's impression of her classmate was still from when she was five years old, she never imagined that when they met again, the other person would have become a genius.

Whenever she thinks about these things, she feels a sense of loss and change.

Just as Kurenai was about to ask a question, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Ahead lies the city of Tansoku.

but.

At this very moment...

Birds soar into the sky, and sparrows sing.

wrong!

Jingyan's gaze turned serious.

"Everyone be careful!"

The next instant, strands of silk suddenly appeared around them, followed by kunai and shuriken flying rapidly toward them.

Jingyan immediately moved forward.

In the air, he had already completed the extraction of chakra and the formation of hand seals.
