Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 127 Everyday Life and the Temptation of Oxen and Horses

Regarding the issue of subway noise, other people don't really understand it. They think it's just some noise, no big deal.

You Ya, however, did not think so.

The slow speed of the first-generation subway was tolerable, but the noise was simply unbearable.

Since it's not completely buried underground, the noise is still quite disturbing to the residents.

If there were no other choice, who would want to use a train of this level?

However, with one generation already established, the development of the second generation should catch up quickly.

……

Tsunade finished a long, tiring day and walked wearily home.

Konoha opened a subway line around the entire village a few days ago, but the noise is too loud and she doesn't want to take the train.

Although the subway was a mode of transportation strongly promoted by someone she liked, Tsunade didn't really think it was that good to travel on.

Unless it's faster and quieter.

However, she doesn't actually have that much time to think about these things every day now.

She works from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day, and there are also people in the hospital who work the night shift from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m.

I heard that a large group of intern doctors and nurses will be arriving next month, which will relieve their pressure. Many of the simple tasks and odd jobs that they used to have can be handed over to them.

At that time, the pressure on Tsunade and the other doctors who haven't graduated yet will be greatly reduced.

Although Tsunade consistently achieved the highest score in practical exams every year, obtaining graduation qualifications from that strict old man was still very difficult.

At least not for her yet.

After all, the old man genuinely wanted to pass on all his skills to his students.

Although their attitude was terrible...

Tsunade walks for almost an hour home every day after get off work. This hour-long journey isn't far for her, and because she's a ninja, it actually serves as some form of training.

Moreover, walking allows you to recall the knowledge you've learned and reinforce it.

Tsunade thought the same thing today, but suddenly, she felt something and looked up, only to see a figure she had been longing for day and night.

Tsunade rubbed her eyes in shock, realizing it was indeed the person she was thinking of, and he was walking towards her. She opened her mouth excitedly, but then she saw that the figure was followed by a girl...

……

"Yeah, like I just said, if you also want to join the Anbu, go find the previous Hokage. He can also give you the qualification of a special Jonin," Yua said to Hyuga Kazuko as they walked.

Hyuga Kazuko sighed helplessly: "My family doesn't have anyone like Uncle Kagami from the Uchiha clan, who can speak with Lord Tobirama and is also deeply trusted by you..."

Yu Ya smiled slightly: "Then there's no other way. This is the only way to annotate a special Jonin."

Hyuga Kazuko pouted, then looked at Yua: "Isn't there another way?"

You Ya was taken aback: "What method?"

Hyuga Kazuko scoffed, "That's the root of the problem..."

Then she looked at You Ya: "You will marry me."

You Ya's face immediately darkened: "You know that's impossible."

Hyuga Kazuko scoffed and crossed her arms behind her head: "Ugh, how boring. I wish I hadn't been born into the Hyuga family. This family... is so dull."

You Ya comforted him, saying, "There's nothing you can do. You've received so much benefit from the family, and you have to pay it all back. Those people aren't doing charity work, and besides... you're already too old."

Hyuga Kazuko glared at Yua: "Are you implying I'm old?!"

You Ya coughed and quickly denied it.

Just then, footsteps approached. You Ya looked up and saw a figure running towards him from the hospital in the distance.

"Yo, Tsunade! Long time no see~"

"Thump"

Tsunade delivered a powerful slam, knocking Yua to the ground...

"Awooo..."

With a strange cry, Yua was pinned down by Tsunade.

Hyuga Kazuko, who was standing to the side, narrowed her eyes.

"Ouch! Ouch! What are you doing?"

Yuya looked up at Tsunade.

Yua saw Tsunade, who was straddling him, glance at him expressionlessly a few times, then lean down, and Yua could see the impressively developed breasts and smell her fragrance...

Tsunade sniffed the air, and after confirming there was no strange smell, she smiled. Then she got up from Yua and whispered, "I missed you."

Yuya shuddered: "Tsunade, are you sick? Why are you talking so strangely... Ouch!"

Tsunade stomped hard on Yua's foot, but her gaze shifted to Hyuga Kazuko beside her. She then pulled Yua into a tight hug: "I've always been like this, and... didn't you promise you'd wait for me?"

Seeing this, Hyuga Kazuko couldn't help but laugh. Then, she crossed her arms and smacked her lips at Yua, saying, "So that's why you rejected my and Yu's confessions. You like the younger one."

Yuya, clutching his foot, looked exasperated, while Tsunade objected, "What do you mean I'm young? I'm already old enough to get married, okay?!"

Yua enshrined the legal age of marriage in law. Previously, Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju could not have set rules in this regard, so there were even some cases of people getting married and having children at the age of fourteen. Yua could no longer tolerate this and enshrined the legal age in law.

Yua originally wanted to write that he was 18 years old, but this was opposed by many clans. Tobirama Senju was also puzzled. Konoha was so short of people, why did you push the age back so much?

Yua had no choice but to change his age to 16. This was a strict order. Once Tobirama Senju and the old men of those families passed away, Yua would definitely change his age to 18.

Hyuga Kazuko, however, chuckled and crossed her arms, looking at Tsunade: "When I said you're young, is it possible I wasn't referring to your actual age?"

Tsunade was taken aback, while Hyuga Kazuko puffed out her chest.

Tsunade was instantly enraged.

Strictly speaking, Tsunade is only a little over fifteen years old now. Although she is sixteen in terms of age, she is still a little over fifteen and a half years old in total.

They haven't even reached their full potential yet, so naturally they can't compare to someone like Hyuga Kazuko who has already reached her full potential.

Although Tsunade is actually not young anymore.

Yu Ya watched speechlessly as the two women nearly came to blows, then uttered a single sentence that sealed the deal:

"Kazuko, are you going to get the medicine? If you're not going, I'll go find Grandpa Katsuragi first."

"Oh, sure, of course I'll go." Hyuga Kazuko put away her hostile gaze and waved to Tsunade: "Bye-bye, little one~"

Tsunade, her face flushed with anger, strode up to Yua, wanting him to judge whether she was too young or not. But she saw Yua carrying a stack of documents and heading towards Konoha General Hospital.

Tsunade: "..."

Okay, okay, Youya is doing serious business, I shouldn't disturb him.

but……

Following along is perfectly fine.

As Yuya walked along carrying a stack of documents, he asked Hinata Kazuko, "Grandpa Nichiyo should take better care of his health. He's getting old, so he shouldn't do everything himself. He should give the younger generation more opportunities."

Hyuga Kazuko glanced at Yua and scoffed, "He personally arranged my marriage. You want me to care about him? No way!"

Tsunade's ears immediately perked up. What?! This big-breasted cow is getting married?! Why didn't she say so earlier?! Turns out she wasn't my enemy after all!

You Ya's smile remained unchanged: "Just think of it as... helping me pass on this message to Grandpa Riyao."

Besides, the brothers Hizashi and Hiashi are quite good. Their father, Hisuke, must be very capable to raise such outstanding brothers, right?

Hyuga Kazuko blinked, lowered her head and began to think. After a moment, she stopped.

You Ya asked, somewhat puzzled, "The hospital is just ahead. What's wrong? Aren't you going in?"

Hyuga Kazuko shook her head, then looked seriously at Yua: "You... do you want to recruit Hyuga for your own use?"

Hinata Kazuko's eyes were serious, but Yua smiled.

"Don't worry, I have absolutely no intention of doing that."

Hinata Kazuko couldn't detect any lying on Yua's face, and she said with some disappointment, "If you want... I don't know about others, but... I'm willing."

Tsunade's heart pounded as she watched. What was going on? How did it suddenly involve Yua and the Hyuga clan?

You Ya smiled slightly, turned and walked towards the hospital, raising his hand at the same time: "Forcing others to choose between their family and their village is too low-level. I won't use that."

Hyuga Kazuko stared at Yua's retreating figure, her expression momentarily dazed.

"Ahem!"

After a long while, Tsunade's cough interrupted his thoughts.

"You brat!" Hyuga Kazuko roared in anger.

Tsunade stood with her hands on her hips, staring at Hyuga Kazuko without backing down.

Meanwhile, in the distance, You Ya had already entered the hospital.

Because digitalization is not yet widespread, this area is still in the very primitive stage of queuing and waiting for numbers.

Of course, this excludes cases of very serious emergencies requiring immediate surgery.

Youya pulled up the hood of his clothes; he didn't want to be recognized.

As for using transformation magic to become someone else's appearance...

She hasn't done anything wrong, so what is she afraid of?

Upon entering the hospital, You Ya headed straight for his destination: the director's office on the second floor.

When You Ya arrived, he saw several middle-aged women queuing at the entrance.

So he leaned against the wall, crossed his arms, and began to wait.

When Tsunade arrived, she went over and tugged at Yua's sleeve, looking puzzled. "What's wrong?"

You Ya smiled and said, "They haven't finished their appointments yet, so I'll wait here."

Tsunade spoke softly, "But aren't you the Hokage...? Why are you still waiting here?"

Yuya looked at Tsunade strangely: "Is the Hokage some kind of special person? Why doesn't he have to wait?"

In a daze, Tsunade saw the shadow of Hashirama Senju on Yua's face.

He was a ninja god who had to queue to enter the gambling dens in Konoha Village and also queue to eat at the communal dining halls...

Obviously...

Even if he didn't do that, no one would say anything, but...

Tsunade grabbed Yua's arm and leaned happily on his shoulder. Yua was a little confused, but seeing that she didn't make any further moves, he let her be.

After a long while, a voice came from inside: "Next."

Seeing that no one was at the door, Yuya knocked and led Tsunade into the office.

When Katsuragi Takuto, the old man inside, saw Yua, he frowned and said, "Third Hokage? Even if you are the Hokage, you can't cut in line. Get out and wait."

You Ya explained that there was no one queuing outside anymore.

Old Master Katsuragi snorted coldly: "If there's no one in line, then this old man will go home."

You Ya quickly stopped him and started saying nice things.

While generally speaking, you don't need to be this subservient, you still have to see if the other person has real skills.

One is Grandpa Katsuragi, a true medical master. Yuya heard that someone's intestines had spilled out, but this old man stuffed them back in and stitched them up. A month later, the person was lively and energetic again, which was simply amazing!

This was an era when medical surgery had barely developed!

Therefore, it's not a problem for them to be humble or even kneel down.

Similarly, if a god-like figure who could double the grain production appeared at this time, we wouldn't even feel guilty about kneeling down, let alone fawning over Yua. Unfortunately, no one does, and we still have to import grain from Iwagakure.

You Ya, of course, knew why the old man hadn't given him a friendly look.

He and his granddaughter used to run a clinic in Katsuragi. Although the clinic was small, they lived a fulfilling life every day.

Until one day, that bastard You Ya sent someone over and, without saying a word, made him come to work here. He promised eight hours a day, but now even twelve hours is a luxury.

He always works overtime, and the old man must be furious. He spent the first half of his life in a time of war, just trying to escape for his life.

Having spent over a decade living a carefree and leisurely life in Konoha, I never imagined that I would be dragged here to be a beast of burden in my old age.

You're the old man, aren't you angry?!

You Ya continued to say nice things, looking embarrassed.

At that moment, Tsunade stepped forward.

Then she went up to the old man and started tugging at his sleeve, acting all cute and spoiled. Yua was dumbfounded. Was this Tsunade?!

But you know what, the results are amazing.

After all, Tsunade and his granddaughter were about the same age. His granddaughter didn't want to inherit his medical skills, so he placed his hopes on Tsunade. And sure enough, Tsunade's learning ability was really good, and the old man was quite satisfied.

Therefore, although the old man was strict with Tsunade, it was because he wanted Tsunade to learn real skills.

Actually, I still love her very much.

So, with Tsunade's help, the old man coldly told Yuya to spit out his words.

Well, what could You Ya say? He decisively took out the stack of documents and said, "Grandpa, look, I'm planning to build another hospital. You can be the director then. What do you think?"

Old Master Katsuragi was so angry he was blowing his beard and glaring.

You think making me a beast of burden in one place isn't enough? You want me to go to other places to continue being a beast of burden?!

Youya quickly waved his hand, indicating that since you are the boss here, you don't usually need to take action. You can treat the people there like cattle or horses, since they were sent from other villages anyway.

Grandpa Ge Cheng has taken a liking to this. What about the people from other villages?

Yuya nodded repeatedly, indicating that other villages would send a team of 100 people. Including the ninjas who would take care of these people, there would probably be more than 100 people. All of these people would be your students, and you could do whatever you wanted to them. Whether or not you would teach them real skills would also be up to you. At the same time, your salary would also increase to 1.5 million taels a month.

Old Master Katsuragi didn't care about wages; what he cared about was...

"Are there really that many people willing to use it?"

You Ya immediately guaranteed, "Look, you're managing such a big hospital, isn't that better than a small clinic? You can take care of more patients, right? Besides, those are people from other villages. If you ask them to work and they refuse, just tell me, and I'll kick them out! I guarantee I'll kick them out!"

After careful consideration, Mr. Katsuragi finally agreed.

Mainly...

More than a hundred cattle and horses...

This temptation is too great.

Thank you so much for pointing out my typos!
