Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 4 I really didn't read that book

After being berated by the teacher, Aokiji returned to his seat, only to be met with criticism and ridicule from those around him: "You're incredibly audacious, sleeping in the hallway."

Aokiji yawned, ignoring the stares, and pulled a pillow out of his bag, leaving the student sitting next to him dumbfounded.

"What exactly are you doing at school?"

Aokiji bluntly stated: "Sleep."

"Hey, Lu Xiong, say something too."

The boy, called Lu Xiong, rested his finger on his chin, pondered for a moment, then raised his eyelids and said at a moderate pace, "When it's time to sleep later, lend me your pillow for a bit."

"roll."

How can I allow someone else to snore beside my bed?

This kid named Shikao, whose full name is Nara Shikao, is a childhood friend of Aokiji and they share the same quirk: they like to sleep in class.

"This is such a hassle. Looks like I'll have to bring my own pillow from now on." Lu Xiong scratched his pineapple-shaped hair. "Well, whatever. If Mom finds out I secretly brought a pillow to school, I'll probably get a real scolding..."

Aokiji lay back on the pillow: "Remember to wake me up when class starts later."

Looking at Aokiji who had quickly fallen asleep, Shiro said admiringly, "Among all the people I know, there is no one who can sleep better than you. I, Shiro, would call you the strongest."

"Really? I'm so grateful for your high regard."

Aokiji responded in a daze.

Their entire conversation was overheard by the white-haired boy standing nearby. He looked at the sleeping Aokiji, his eyes slightly narrowed, as if he were plotting something.

Not long after, the school bell rang.

Aokiji was woken up and silently stuffed the pillow back into his schoolbag. He might dare to sleep in class, but to sleep on a pillow was far too audacious.

After a dazed and confused class, when lunch break arrived, the students took out the lunchboxes carefully prepared by their parents, which were vegetarian and nutritionally balanced.

Aokiji is just an orphan and a lazy person, so he shouldn't even think about luxuries like bento boxes. He should just go to the convenience store and buy a few loaves of bread to eat.

Upon entering the convenience store, a long queue had formed in front of it, creating quite a lively scene.

The convenience store introduces different products every now and then. Today's product is a red bean bread, which is selling very well. I tried it once and thought it was just so-so.

In his previous life, Aokiji lived in a great gluttonous empire, where his palate was spoiled rotten.

If his family hadn't forced him to go to school, Aokiji would have dropped out and opened a restaurant instead.

To engage in high technology, one must have money, and Aokiji thought that going into business seemed like a good option.

Using some delicacies from his past life to dominate the market would surely make him a lot of money. He could then hire a few trusted people and become a hands-off manager, using his spare time to cultivate. Wouldn't that be better than being constantly scolded and reprimanded by the Konoha higher-ups and living on the edge of death all day?

Then, using the money earned from opening the shop, he became a sugar daddy, hiring Konoha ninjas to work for him.

That scene will be absolutely amazing.

Thinking of this, Aokiji couldn't help but tremble and laugh out loud, drawing strange looks from those around him.

"Cough cough..."

Aokiji coughed twice, trying to keep a low profile.

He casually bought two rice balls and ate them on the way back to his seat. By the time he returned, he had almost finished eating. Without saying a word, he took out a pillow, lay down, and went to sleep. At that moment, some classmates wanted to play ninja games with him, but he directly refused them.

"Hey, of all people to pull, you pulled this sleepyhead who does nothing but sleep all day."

After being advised by his companion, the student glanced at Aokiji, thought he made sense, and turned to leave.

Aokiji spends all his time sleeping at school and doesn't interact with others much, so everyone thinks he's a weirdo.

Aokiji doesn't like to interact with people, partly because he doesn't have the time, and partly because he doesn't want to develop too many feelings for these people.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the students in this class will likely all become ninjas after graduation. Except for a very few lucky ones who will survive to the end, the vast majority will probably die during some mission.

Humans are creatures that seek advantage and avoid harm. Since he knew in advance that they would die on the mission, Aokiji naturally wouldn't associate with them, not wanting to be saddened by the outcome.

Even if this could be the opportunity to awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan...

With his eyes closed, Aokiji suddenly felt someone standing in front of him. He opened his eyes and saw a white-haired boy with spiky hair.

Although it has white hair, it's a pity that it looks plain and unremarkable, what a waste of that tuft of white hair.

"My name is Jiraiya." The boy was very outgoing. "Your name is Aokiji, right?"

"What's up?"

Aokiji couldn't understand why Jiraiya would suddenly seek him out.

As one of the legendary Sannin from the original story, Jiraiya was someone he wanted to recruit in the future. He was still thinking about how to get to know them, but unexpectedly, they came to him.

Jiraiya glanced around, and after confirming that no one was around, he quietly approached and said in a mysterious tone, "Can I borrow your phone to talk?"

Can I borrow a phone to talk?

The other party was being mysterious, and Aokiji didn't understand: "I don't understand what you mean."

Jiraiya said confidently, "I know everything you did last night."

Aokiji's eyes widened. Could it be that Jiraiya knew about his secret nighttime training? How could that be? Who would be spying on him in the middle of the night for no reason? That's insane.

Aokiji's plan was to create the image of a useless person by acting like a loser in front of everyone.

Then, waiting for an opportunity, he awakened his Ice Release to save his comrades, defeated the enemy, realized the importance of his comrades, worked hard, inherited the Will of Fire, and eventually became a Hokage.

A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold.

It would be perfect to compile it into teaching materials and promote it.

By then, even if he reveals his Sharingan abilities, it will be too late, and he will have absolute power.

But once they find out that he's secretly training at night, his plans will definitely fall apart, especially if it's someone as big-mouthed as Jiraiya.

Feeling guilty, Aokiji asked weakly, "What do you know?"

Jiraiya chuckled wickedly, "Have you been secretly reading erotic novels at night lately?"

ha?

Aokiji was dumbfounded. What was he talking about? How could he possibly be that kind of person?

When Jiraiya saw that Aokiji wouldn't admit it, he grinned mischievously and said, "Little brat, still pretending? Otherwise, why are you always so dazed and sleepy?"

Aokiji covered his face with one hand. He was actually afraid of revealing information because of this idiot.

Jiraiya is judging others by his own standards. It seems he's been a pervert since childhood, just like Shin-chan.

"What was the code for the movie you watched?"

Jiraiya always uses technical jargon.

We'll leave the so-called unit number aside for now.

In short, one would not be able to say such a thing without a certain level of "culture" in the relevant context.

Aokiji said speechlessly, "I really wasn't reading any erotic novels."

"Don't worry, I won't take yours for nothing. We can exchange and share resources." Jiraiya chuckled. "I like beautiful older women with broad chests wearing leopard-print lingerie. The image is just too alluring."

"You don't know anything. What's truly alluring is a maid in white stockings..."

As a scholar, Aokiji felt it was time to offer his academic opinion.

"Oh~~~"

Jiraiya chuckled mischievously and drew out the sound.

"Cough cough."

Having spoken too bluntly just now, Aokiji tried to find an excuse to explain himself, but unfortunately, a blonde little girl who had returned to her seat overheard him. She gave him a maggot-like look and uttered two words: "Pervert."

Aokiji hurriedly and solemnly explained, "I, Uchiha Aokiji, did not read any erotic novels."

Tsunade picked up a book and ignored it.

The image of Aokiji as someone who reads pornography has already been planted in his mind, and no amount of explanation will have any effect.

Aokiji wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Oh no, it seems I've been misunderstood." Jiraiya scratched his cheek.

You're kidding me!

Aokiji was furious. He grabbed Jiraiya's collar with both hands, shook him violently, and shouted, "Beep—give me my innocence!"
