Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 458 Solving the Hidden Ailment

Konoha Village, the home of the Uchiha clan.

Inside a house, at the entrance hall.

Two years older, Sasuke called out to Itachi Uchiha, who was putting on his shoes, "Brother, train with me today."

Itachi Uchiha reached out and poked Sasuke's forehead, saying gently, "Forgive me, Sasuke, I have something to take care of."

Sasuke huffed, "Busy dating that woman?"

"...It's almost time, I have to go now."

Uchiha Itachi was silent for a moment, then disappeared in a flash, leaving his younger brother, who had a girlfriend but didn't want her anymore, standing there bewildered.

"Damn it, why is everyone like this? My brother is like this, and Aokiji-sensei is like this too. Are girls really that great?"

Based on this question, Sasuke even summoned Aokiji and asked, "Aokiji-sensei, why are you always being controlled by Tsunade-neechan? You're clearly stronger than her."

Aokiji replied, "You don't understand, being managed is very good."

At that time, Sasuke didn't understand the meaning of those words at all, and of course he still doesn't understand them now. He stomped his foot and could only go to train on his own. Along the way, when girls saw him, their eyes lit up with hearts, and they called out, "Sasuke-kun, Sasuke-kun!"

Sasuke ignored them all, remaining aloof like a wolf.

Hmph, girls will only slow down my hand seal speed.

Aokiji arrived at a lake, where a huge white creature lay nearby. It had five tails, resembling a horse but not quite; it was indeed a five-tailed creature.

It's lying on the ground now, leisurely yawning.

Aokiji's attitude towards the Five-Tails was basically to let it roam freely in the village.

Sasuke was still shocked every time he saw this creature, even though he had seen it many times before. He secretly vowed to train hard so that he could one day summon a powerful beast like it.

A blue aura emanated from Sasuke's feet as he took a step, his footsteps creating ripples on the lake.

Despite his young age, he has already mastered this skill, demonstrating his exceptional talent.

He ran across the lake, training his physical abilities and chakra control simultaneously, deeply immersed in his training. Time flew by, and when he came to his senses, the sky was gradually darkening.

Let's leave it at that for today.

Sasuke, panting, wiped away his sweat, said goodbye to the Five-Tails, and returned home. When he took off his shoes in the entryway, he found two extra pairs of shoes. His face lit up with joy, and he ran barefoot onto the hardwood floor into the living room.

A man and a woman came into view.

The boy looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, with a head of white hair, while the girl was much older, as could be seen from her figure, which was curvaceous.

The man and woman standing together could easily be mistaken for siblings, but they are actually a married couple.

"Aokiji-sensei, Tsunade-neechan..." Sasuke said cheerfully.

"Yo..." Aokiji greeted.

"Why did you come to my house today?"

Aokiji smiled and glanced at a portly, black-haired woman chatting with Tsunade: "Isn't this just in case something unexpected happens?"

"Unexpected situation?"

Sasuke was taken aback. Following the gaze, he saw his mother.

When Mikoto saw her youngest son come home, she smiled and waved to him.

Perhaps wanting the house to be more lively, Mikoto and Fugaku put in a lot of effort, and it seems that the house will soon have a new servant.

Sasuke obediently walked over and gently leaned against Mikoto's large belly.

Mikoto said softly, "Sasuke, do you want a younger brother or a younger sister?"

Sasuke answered without hesitation, "Little brother."

Mikoto recalled the scene when she asked Itachi that question, and a wry smile appeared on her lips: "You two brothers are really alike."

Sasuke was taken aback: "Does my brother also like having another younger brother?"

Mikoto shook her head and said, "No, I meant when Itachi said he wanted a younger brother when you were born."

"I see."

"Why don't you want a younger sister?" Mikoto stroked Sasuke's delicate face. "Girls are cute too."

Sasuke pouted, his attitude firm: "But I just want a younger brother, a younger sister isn't good at all."

Mikoto shook her head helplessly.

As they were talking, a black-haired young man entered the house. Mikoto saw him and asked, "How was your date with Izumi?"

Just as Itachi was about to answer, he saw his little brother's puffed-up face and fell silent.

Sasuke said sarcastically, "When I have a younger brother, I'll definitely train with him every day, unlike some other guy."

Uchiha Itachi gave a bitter smile.

Seeing Sasuke acting up, the room erupted in laughter, creating a joyful atmosphere.

Tsunade bit her thumbnail. Mikoto was almost a mother of three, while she, as the older sister, didn't even have one. She couldn't be more depressed.

Mikoto, not wanting to bring up something she shouldn't, teased, "Tsunade-neechan, you and Aokiji-nii-san really need to work harder!"

Tsunade rolled her eyes: "It's all because some guy is impotent."

Aokiji blushed: "Tsunade, can't you explain it more clearly? Otherwise, it's easy for people to misunderstand."

"snort."

When women get angry, they become unreasonable. Tsunade turned her face away and grumbled.

Aokiji is feeling down...

He had already tried very hard. He thought it would be easy at first, but later he realized he had been overthinking it.

This side effect was more difficult to overcome than I had imagined.

For this reason, he transformed his body back into that of a little devil.

The group gathered for a short while.

Aokiji realized it was about time to go back.

Mikoto said somewhat reluctantly, "Oh dear, are you leaving already?"

Tsunade replied, "Well, I have to get up early tomorrow to work on my Hokage duties."

"Tsunade-neechan is really hardworking."

"It's alright..." Tsunade scratched the back of her head, looking embarrassed.

Aokiji, standing to the side, pouted, thinking to himself, "What are you trying to do, my foot!"

I helped you with a lot of your work.

Tsunade did work very hard at first, but she probably got bored later and started having Aokiji handle many things for her.

However, things spiraled out of control...

Just as both sides had said their goodbyes and were about to leave, Mikoto suddenly looked troubled, bent over, and sweat poured down her forehead.

This immediately caused concern among everyone present.

Mikoto cried out in anguish, "I think I'm going into labor..."

So fast!?

Logically speaking, Mikoto should still have some time before giving birth, so the current situation definitely indicates premature birth.

Fortunately, Aokiji is a cautious person and brought Tsunade with him. Although she has never delivered babies before, her medical skills are there, which can help to some extent.

The hospital was some distance away, and moving them could easily lead to accidents. Tsunade made a swift decision, telling Mikoto to give birth at home while simultaneously sending someone to the hospital to fetch help.

During the delivery, the men waited anxiously outside the door.

Although Fugaku already had experience with two children, he was still very nervous.

They only breathed a sigh of relief when they heard a newborn crying inside the house.

A moment later, the door was pushed open, and Tsunade smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mikoto and the baby are safe."

"Can we go in now?"

"certainly."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly entered. Fugaku first comforted Mikoto, and then kissed, hugged, and lifted Kokoro high in the air, displaying the doting affection of a grandfather for his grandson.

Sasuke and Itachi were quite surprised. Was this really the father they knew?

In the brothers' memory, their father always had a solemn and stern expression, which was quite different from how he is now.

Such obvious differences between them would easily arouse suspicion from outsiders, who might think that these two brothers were picked up from a garbage dump.

Out of curiosity, Sasuke asked Tsunade about her gender.

"It's a girl..."

Fugaku was even more delighted when he heard that it was a girl.

He already has two boys in the family, so adding a girl would be just what he wanted.

Itachi Uchiha was fine, but Sasuke was a little disappointed, wondering why he wasn't a boy.

Aokiji chuckled, "Have you two decided on your names yet?"

Mikoto extended her hand, and Fugaku, understanding, handed it to her. Holding the baby, her eyes were filled with deep love: "Not yet, I plan to ask you to help me name it."

"I?"

"Yes, I'd like you to be this child's godfather."

Mikoto trusts Aokiji a lot.

"Alright, since you've put it that way, I won't refuse."

Aokiji patted his chin, thought seriously for a moment, and wondered what name he should choose.

Just then, an idea flashed into my mind, and I thought, "Let's call her Sarada."

"Sarana?"

"Why not?"

"To be honest, I also thought of this name at first, it seems we had the same idea."

The name Sarada carries many auspicious meanings, including medical care, offspring, wealth, and beauty.

"Oh, that's quite a coincidence," Aokiji said, somewhat surprised.

Mikoto hugged her daughter, and then let everyone in the room hug her one by one. Soon it was Sasuke's turn.

Sigh, why is it a girl...?

Sasuke held Sarada in his arms, muttering to himself.

Sarada opened her big, adorable eyes and looked around with great curiosity about everything around her.

In that instant, Sasuke and Sarada's eyes met.

poof...

Sasuke suddenly felt his heart racing, and his gaze towards Sarada changed unconsciously; for some reason, the more he looked at her, the more he liked her.

And my little sister smells so good...

"Hehehe, my little sister is so cute..."

Sasuke was completely absorbed in it, unable to pull himself away, his face beaming with a smile that made him look like a complete fool.

Suddenly, he felt several strange gazes directed at him. Sasuke coughed a few times, feigning composure, "I suddenly feel that my sister isn't bad either, is she?"

After dealing with the matter of the perfect koto, Aokiji and Tsunade stayed for a while before taking their leave and returning home, no longer wanting to disturb the Fugaku family.

The moonlight quietly spread across the street, illuminating the way home.

"Babies are so cute."

Tsunade's words were full of envy, and she glanced at someone with her bright, clear eyes.

Aokiji has been trying for two and a half years, but he's so bad he doesn't dare to say a word. He still can't get the hang of it and can't play the ADC role in the bottom lane with Tsunade as support in duo queue.

Tsunade asked with concern, "When will your hidden ailment heal?"

Aokiji said, annoyed, "Hey, please don't use that word, it's easy for people to misunderstand."

There are no outsiders here.

"..."

Back home, the two went into the bedroom and shared a room. Aokiji slept on a makeshift bed on the floor, a practiced routine that was heartbreaking.

What he desired in his heart manifested in his dreams, and he finally climbed into Tsunade's bed.

The next day, reality proved harsh.

Aokiji went to the Technology Development Bureau, found Orochimaru, and sought the power of technology: "Orochimaru, how's that research going?"

Orochimaru smiled, his voice husky and magnetic: "Come with me."

Suppressing his excitement, Aokiji followed Orochimaru to a secluded room.

Orochimaru, standing on a white, slender pillar, seemed to have triggered some mechanism, and a hidden door opened from the inconspicuous wall, revealing a scroll inside.

Orochimaru took out a scroll and handed it to Aokiji.

Aokiji took it, unfolded it, and a puff of white smoke appeared, revealing a briefcase inside.

Aokiji opened it, revealing a potion inside: "This is something made using the Four-Tails' chakra?"

Orochimaru nodded.

Aokiji's body was too cold, so he thought of a way to neutralize it.

Just like adding hot water to cold water, the water temperature will naturally rise again.

The four tailed beasts, possessing the power of magma, are the hot water over there.

The inspiration comes from the Golden Horn and Silver Horn brothers.

This potion contains concentrated chakra related to the Four-Tails. Theoretically, consuming it would grant one a portion of the Four-Tails' power. However, the energy within is extremely violent, and an ordinary person would die instantly if they consumed it. This is something that only someone with a special constitution like Aokiji could consume.
