Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 254 Love is a light, so green it makes you dizzy

Aokiji bid farewell to the Naka Shrine and then went to his training grounds. He frowned when he saw that Tsunade wasn't waiting for him there.

He couldn't help but think of something, then shook his head, trying to clear his mind of these random thoughts. His immediate priority was to improve his strength.

Quickly form hand seals and use the ninjutsu "Water Release: Water Severing Wave" on the stream to get a feel for it.

After a morning of training, Aokiji had basically mastered this ninjutsu. The next step was to gradually integrate the feeling of this technique into Hyōrinmaru.

Immersed in the practice of time management, time flies by.

Suddenly, several stones came hurtling through the air.

Suddenly caught off guard, Aokiji quickly formed hand seals and unleashed the ninjutsu he had just learned that morning: Water Release: Heaven's Cry. He turned his head and unleashed water needles that instantly pierced through the obtrusive rocks, even having the energy to launch a counterattack against the attacker.

Faced with the attack, the attacker remained unmoved and casually swung his hand, knocking the water needle away.

Aokiji narrowed his eyes, reflecting the dark arm in his reflection. Based on the features, he chanted, "Earth Release: Earth Spear."

Tsunade removed her earth spear technique, strolled leisurely, and smiled broadly: "It seems you've learned quite well. You've already put the ninjutsu I taught you to good use so quickly."

"After all, our 'verbal battle' wasn't for nothing, was it?"

Aokiji's teasing words reminded Tsunade of that embarrassing scene, and she spat out, "Don't mention that to me, it's disgusting."

To lighten the mood a bit, Aokiji composed himself and got down to business: "Where did you go after I left?"

Tsunade's expression darkened, and she sighed softly, "They don't seem to like you very much."

Aokiji had already been warned and didn't take it seriously: "Whatever, I'm not a banknote, I can't please everyone."

Tsunade was amused by Aokiji's humor, her worries vanished, and a smile as bright as a wildflower bloomed in the countryside: "You're so funny."

After a giggle, she turned serious and said, "Seriously, how are you going to gain their approval?"

"Approval? Why would I need their approval?" Aokiji looked puzzled. "All I need to do is make you like me. As for whether other people like me or approve of me, I have no time or interest in that."

The hardest things in the world are putting your thoughts into someone else's head and taking money from someone else's pocket.

He's not Naruto, who's just looking for other people's approval.

Instead of spending time trying to please others, you should think about how to make others try to please you.

Tsunade felt that Aokiji's words made sense, but something felt off, as they were too different from the values ​​she had formed through her past education.

"Even if you say that, you still have to face it."

"That's true," Aokiji agreed, then thought for a moment and said, "In that case, let's just give them a beating."

"ha?"

"Anyway, I'm not good with words and I don't know any talkative techniques, so I can only fight. In the ninja world, force has always been the most effective and simplest method."

"No, that's true, though." Tsunade paused, then asked, "What were you talking about earlier, this 'talk-no-jutsu'?"

"Oh, this is a kind of illusion."

"A kind of illusion?"

"A super-powerful genjutsu that can be triggered by hearing simply by the caster moving their lips, without even using chakra, and is impossible to defend against."

"If the victim is not strong-willed, they can easily become the puppeteer's puppet, never knowing their own name or surname for the rest of their lives. In severe cases, they might even kill their own parents."

After listening for a long time, Tsunade finally understood what Aokiji was talking about: "Seriously, okay?"

"I'm very serious. Look, even the names I chose strictly follow the names of the escape techniques, without adding a single extra word."

Tsunade, not wanting to continue arguing with him, instead asked, "How does your clan view this issue?"

Aokiji laughed: "Our family is much more open-minded than yours. They can't wait for us to get married and have children too."

Upon hearing the word "giving birth," Tsunade blushed immediately: "Pah, who wants to give birth to your child?"

Upon hearing this, Aokiji lowered his chin with his fingers, remaining silent and lost in thought.

"What's wrong with you?" Tsunade asked curiously when she saw Aokiji suddenly quiet down.

Aokiji looked up and said seriously, "It's okay if we don't have children."

Aokiji's sudden remark completely stunned Tsunade, her eyes widening in disbelief, and she let out a soft "Ha!"

"Thinking about it carefully, it seems I really don't need this kind of thing."

"This...this kind of thing?" Tsunade thought she had misheard.

Aokiji, unfazed, bluntly asked, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that? Am I weird?"

Tsunade looked incredulous: "Of course it's strange! Who gets married and doesn't want children?"

Aokiji realized he had just spoken out of turn, and after a moment of silence, he didn't agree with Tsunade on this matter, insisting on his own opinion: "Yes, marriage is often accompanied by the birth of children, but what is the purpose of doing so? Is it merely to continue the lineage?"

"Is there a problem with that?"

"But I don't need offspring."

"what?"

As the saying goes, supply only exists where there is demand. If I don't have this demand, then naturally I don't need this supply.

Tsunade, who seemed to share a similar thought process with Aokiji, used an example from her own life: "But isn't everyone like this? Wouldn't it be strange if we didn't have children in the future?"

"Is it strange? I don't find it strange at all. Why care about what others think? As long as it doesn't affect others, isn't it enough to just live your own life well?"

Tsunade simply couldn't understand Aokiji's thoughts: "You're so strange, why would you have such thoughts?"

"Is it strange? Perhaps..."

Aokiji chuckled self-deprecatingly.

To be honest, even Aokiji himself was startled when he said those words.

Getting married and having children is the normal thought process for most people.

In the past, Aokiji didn't think there was any problem.

But after Tsunade's casual, arrogant reply, he seemed to have awakened some strange attributes.

Tsunade thought Aokiji was joking and said with amusement, "Tell me, why don't you want children? You just said that there is supply only when there is demand, so you have to have a proper reason for saying you don't want children."

Upon hearing this, Aokiji organized his thoughts for a moment, and was about to reply when he suddenly remembered something and smiled.

Tsunade asked, puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

"Didn't you just say you didn't want to have my child? Why are you begging me now?"

Aokiji's question caught Tsunade off guard. She raised her delicate little pink fist, wanting to punch him to death.

Aokiji quickly backed down: "Don't hit me, don't hit me. I'll give you a proper and serious answer from now on."

Tsunade snorted coldly, then reluctantly gave up, lowering her fist and saying irritably, "Tell me, why don't you want to have children with me... uh, don't misunderstand, I'm just giving an example, understand?"

Normally, Aokiji would have teased Tsunade a bit when she said those words, but now he wasn't really in the mood. He sighed and said, "She's probably afraid of having her love divided up."

"Has love been taken away?"

Tsunade was taken aback, not quite understanding what Aokiji meant.

Aokiji glanced at Tsunade and explained, "If we have a child, you'll inevitably have to spend a lot of time and energy on the child, right?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Tsunade replied, then suddenly understood. She curled her smooth lips into a fox-like smile: "Oh ho~~ You wouldn't happen to be jealous of your own child, would you?"

Aokiji coughed and remained silent, which was tantamount to admitting it.

Tsunade's mouth was wide open, almost big enough to fit a large sausage, which showed just how surprised she was.

"That's way too much."

Aokiji opened his mouth somewhat embarrassedly: "If it were a girl, I could tolerate it, but if it were a boy, I simply couldn't stand it."

"What's wrong with boys?" Tsunade asked, puzzled.

Aokiji said dejectedly, "When I think about that brat lying on your chest in front of me every day, taking advantage of me, I can't help but think of a saying: 'Love is a light, so green it makes you panic.' Do you understand what I mean?"

In Aokiji's eyes, a child born is essentially an independent individual.

"How could I possibly understand!"

Tsunade was completely baffled; this was utterly absurd, like opening the door for the absurd's mother.

"well……"

Why would you have such a thought?

"I don't know either."

"You have an illness, and it's quite serious, it's already terminal, it needs treatment."

"I also think it might be an illness, and it seems to be hereditary..."

"Family genetics?"

Aokiji looked sad: "People from the Uchiha clan seem to be a bit neurotic, and my words seem to have been tainted by it to some extent."

Tsunade laughed and scolded, "Come on, you're the one who's crazy. Don't try to shift the blame onto the clan."

Aokiji looked into Tsunade's eyes, pleading, "Tsunade, let's not have children after we get married. These little brats are unnecessary. You're all I need. Don't let these little brats disturb our lives."

Perhaps influenced by the Uchiha genes within him, Aokiji gradually realized that he seemed to be becoming more and more extreme ever since he fell in love with Tsunade.

He has the potential to become a madman.

Tsunade, being a traditional woman, was adamant about the matter: "No way! What kind of person doesn't want children? You have to have children, and I'm going to have lots and lots of them for you, seven or eight, and I'll make you jealous to death."

"Are you a sow?"

Aokiji sized up Tsunade's figure, and with her exceptional talent, she certainly had the ability.

"Who are you calling a sow?!"

"Isn't that right? Who in their right mind would have so many children? Besides, could they even afford to raise them?"

"The thing I have in abundance is money."

Tsunade is a classic example of a rich, beautiful, and successful woman; that's absolutely true.

"Heh, I wonder who was the one who had the audacity to say they wouldn't give me their child just now." Aokiji's gaze was mocking, and he deliberately glanced at Tsunade: "You mean, right, you were planning to give me the mother of seven or eight children?"

Tsunade blushed and snorted, "That's none of your business."

Aokiji laughed: "How can it not be my business? You don't actually think you can do this all by yourself, do you?"

"..."

"Don't get me wrong," Aokiji said. "You're just the fertile land, and I'm the ox that's plowing it. Honestly... seven or eight kids, how can you even say that? You don't find it tiring, but I do."

"Ah, are you trying to die?!"

Unable to argue with Aokiji, Tsunade resorted to violence.

Aokiji was afraid of Tsunade and was about to make a run for it when he suddenly seemed to realize something, and a chill ran down his spine, causing him to freeze.

"What's wrong with you?"

When Tsunade saw him, her face showed a solemn expression, and she couldn't help but feel concerned.

"It's nothing," Aokiji shook his head.

He had just remembered that Madara Uchiha was probably still plotting to kill Tsunade so that he could awaken his Sharingan.

Suppose that he failed to protect Tsunade due to his negligence, resulting in her unfortunate death, then, frankly, even Aokiji himself finds it hard to imagine what would have happened.

Perhaps, like some male protagonists in anime, he was overcome by intense emotions, his mind went mad, and he turned to the dark side...

P.S.: This is to make up for yesterday's post. I've discovered that people are inherently lazy; once you start being lazy, you'll keep wanting to be lazy.
