Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 234 Your Sister, I Will Take Care of Her Myself

After leaving the Hokage's office, Aokiji went straight to a house and stood at the door, afraid that shouting would disturb the people inside.

In short, knock on the door first and see if they're inside.

With this in mind, Aokiji gently knocked on the door and waited patiently for a while.

no longer?

Just as Aokiji was about to turn and leave, his ear twitched, and he heard faint footsteps coming from inside. It seemed that someone was walking in this direction.

A moment later, the door opened, and a little boy with light yellow hair and a slightly chubby face walked out. He looked to be about four or five years old.

Aokiji let out a soft "Eh?" "Isn't that Grandma Mito?"

The little boy looked up, his round eyes filled with curiosity as he gazed at Aokiji: "Who are you?"

That's a good question. Aokiji says, "I wanted to ask you that too."

Aokiji wondered if he had remembered the location correctly, so why was there a child inside?

Aokiji was too lazy to think, so he directly asked the child for information about Mito.

The little boy gestured with his hands to indicate that Mito was her grandmother and he was her grandson.

When Aokiji heard the child introduce himself as "Rope Tree," he was taken aback. He remembered the name quite well. Combining it with what the child said, he realized, "Oh, so he's my brother-in-law."

Nawaki was born only in recent years, and Aokiji has been staying in the Forest of Death for the past three years, so this is the first time the two have met.

He took a closer look at the cute little boy in front of him, and for some reason, his mind started to overlap with the image of a certain person with three marks on his face.

It seems that Nawaki looks quite like Naruto, and now it seems that this is not without reason.

Aokiji imagined what Nawaki would look like when he grew up, probably similar to the Crown Prince.

Aokiji was about to ask why Nawaki was at Mito's house when he thought about it again. It seemed that Tsunade's parents had just passed away not long ago, and since she was usually away on missions, Nawaki was naturally left without anyone to take care of him. So, at this time, Mito, as his grandmother, naturally took on the responsibility of taking care of Nawaki.

Considering this relationship, Aokiji decided not to be foolish enough to dredge up his brother-in-law's painful past. Thinking of how the siblings depended on each other for survival, Aokiji bent down and looked Nawaki in the eye.

Rope Tree was taken aback: ? ? ?

Aokiji placed his hands on either side of Nawaki's shoulders, his eyes serious: "I will take care of your wife... my sister, so don't worry about her."

Rope Tree: ? ? ?

Nawaki slapped Aokiji's arm away and looked at him suspiciously.

Aokiji gave an awkward smile.

It's normal for Rope Tree to have that expression; after all, who in their right mind would come up and say something so nonsensical?

But this was actually Aokiji's strategy, which allowed him to quickly get closer to his brother-in-law.

Just as Aokiji was thinking about continuing to get closer to Nawaki, someone walked out of the house.

Aokiji looked up and saw a kind old man, Mito. He immediately stood up.

Mito wasn't surprised by Aokiji's arrival: "Looks like you've already gotten the monkey's permission."

"I really owe it to Grandma Mito who put in a lot of good words for me."

Upon hearing Aokiji respectfully address Mito as "Grandma," the little boy Nawaki craned his neck, his eyes wide with surprise, wondering about the relationship between Aokiji and Mito.

"I was just going with the flow; what matters is your own effort." Mito subtly asked Nawaki, "How is it now?"

It clearly refers to the Five-Tailed Fox.

Aokiji understood, rubbed his belly, and smiled: "It's alright, it's just that I had a fight with it recently."

Mito was taken aback: "They got into a fight?"

"Yes," Aokiji smiled bitterly, "but I lost, it's really embarrassing."

Mito looked at Aokiji in surprise, not expecting that his relationship with the tailed beast inside him had become so good. Even in defeat, the tailed beast did not take the opportunity to seize the body. No, if the Five-Tails wanted to seize it, it would have done so already.

"Fortunately, it seems to have accepted me. Next time I can defeat it head-on, I can use its power at will."

Aokiji casually remarked, "It's the old Versailles."

Mito: ...

Aokiji continued, which completely put Mito at ease: "By then, I think I should be able to become a perfect Jinchuriki."

The perfect Jinchūriki...

Upon hearing this concept, not only was Mito extremely surprised, but even the Nine-Tails within her was astonished, wondering who this young man was who could gain the approval of a tailed beast. There had never been such an example in thousands of years.

Mito murmured something, then gave her a kind smile and encouraged her, "I'm looking forward to it..."

Aokiji bowed deeply: "Thank you so much for everything these past few days."

………………

After greeting Mito, Aokiji went straight to the Konoha Police Department.

When the Uchiha clan members saw Aokiji, they almost didn't recognize him; "You're Aokiji?"

Aokiji readily admitted it.

Someone in the Konoha Police Department asked, "Didn't you become a Jinchūriki? If you're not training, how are you controlling the Tailed Beast? Why are you out here?"

"Of course, it's because I've successfully used the power of the Tailed Beasts."

Aokiji's nonchalant tone surprised everyone, leading them to speculate, "To control the power of a tailed beast in just three years, could it be that you've awakened the Sharingan?"

Aokiji was ashamed and vehemently denied it.

The Sharingan has the power to control tailed beasts. Although the three-tomoe Sharingan doesn't show much control over tailed beasts, it can still suppress them to some extent.

"You didn't sneak out and try to fool us, did you?"

Some people didn't believe it, but Aokiji proved them wrong by taking action, his body steaming.

Everyone was shocked to see this.

"That's about it."

"What kind of ninjutsu is this?"

"This is the Boil Release bloodline limit I developed using the power of the Five-Tails. It looks pretty good, doesn't it?"

What?!

The Uchiha were even more shocked than before. Bloodline Limits were extremely rare, and Aokiji had actually developed them at such a young age. Wasn't that a bit too abnormal?

Aokiji casually boasted, "You don't need to be too surprised. Under normal circumstances, it would be very difficult for me to develop Boil Release at this age. If it weren't for the power of the Tailed Beasts, I wouldn't have been able to develop it either."

Some people were sarcastic: "You're the one who got the benefit and is now acting innocent, aren't you?"

Of course, some people arrogantly said: "Even if you have two bloodline limits now, it's still nothing compared to the power of the Sharingan."

Among the crowd discussing the matter, one person looked intently at Aokiji; it was none other than the head of the Uchiha clan.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. He knew Aokiji's background better than anyone else, so when he learned that Aokiji had developed the "Boiling Release" bloodline limit, he couldn't help but think of the two bloodline limits that Aokiji already had.

What kind of talent is it for someone to possess three bloodline limits?

The Uchiha clan will surely rebuild its glory through him.

Hmph, Konoha's higher-ups, just wait. If you don't give it to us, we'll just take it by force.

The Uchiha clan is determined to take the throne of the Fourth Hokage.

With this thought in mind, the head of the Uchiha clan walked up to Aokiji, patted him heavily on the shoulder, and said with high hopes, "You're very good. I'll be looking forward to your performance on the battlefield."

Aokiji nodded seriously.

After visiting his clansmen, Aokiji went to the clan's territory to train.
