Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 6 It's all a misunderstanding.

Tsunade jumped off Mito, her face showing concern: "What's wrong, Grandma Mito? You look terrible. Are you alright?"

"It's alright."

Mito gave Tsunade a meaningful look: "I hope you won't regret it later."

Tsunade tilted her head, looking confused.

Mito didn't want to dwell on this painful topic, so she changed the subject: "You've started school recently, tell me about it."

"A ninja academy? I don't think there's much to say about it."

Tsunade crossed her arms behind her head, looking rather uninterested: "Grandma Mito, can I just apply to graduate?"

The graduation exam for the Ninja Academy was nothing more than the Three Body Techniques, something she already knew.

As the granddaughter of the First Hokage, she was born with exceptional physical talent. From a young age, she received personal instruction and guidance from the Second Hokage, Tobirama. The Ninja Academy could only teach her so much.

Mito shook her head: "Don't say that. The kids at school are all your age, right? You should have a lot in common. Maybe one of them will become your friends in the future."

The children of powerful clans did not enter the academy with the aim of learning ninjutsu; their main tasks were to make political statements and build connections.

partner?

Tsunade lowered her hands and began to seriously consider the problem.

After graduating from school, ninjas form three-person teams, each led by a ninja.

Tsunade, who is of this age, already knows about this.

"Do you have someone you're looking forward to at school?"

"There's a guy named Orochimaru who seems pretty good. He's fair-skinned, calm, and talented. He seems like a very reliable person. Grandma Mito, could you talk to Grandpa about having him team up with me when I graduate from school?"

"That won't do. As village leaders, we must set a good example. How can we abuse our power? There will be people specifically responsible for considering all aspects of the ninja's graduation and assignment."

Tsunade grabbed Mito's hand and shook it, coquettishly saying, "What does it matter? Just once."

Mito, his face serious, said, "Not even once. Why don't you talk to your second grandfather and see if he agrees?"

"Then, then forget it, I won't trouble him..." Second Grandfather always looked stern and fierce, completely different from the kind and amiable First Grandfather. To be honest, Tsunade was a little afraid of him.

Mito smiled and continued, "I heard there are Uchiha kids in your class, is that right?"

As the wife of the First Hokage, Mito paid close attention to the Uchiha clan, who had deep ties with the Senju clan, especially since this generation of Uchiha was quite different from previous generations.

His parents both have different bloodline limits.

If a child inherits two bloodline limits simultaneously, then their future is limitless.

Mito has lived from the Warring States period to the present day, and the number of ninjas with dual bloodline limits can be counted on one hand, but without exception, they are all ninjas who are famous and renowned.

Various countries once attempted to artificially mass-produce ninjas with dual bloodline limits, but later discovered that it was simply unrealistic.

While ninjas with a single bloodline limit are rare, mass production is not impossible.

By sowing seeds extensively, cultivating more land, and adopting a strategy of winning through quantity, one can quickly grow from an individual into a large community if one is determined.

However, this is impossible with dual bloodline limits, the reason being that there simply aren't enough high-quality lands for people to cultivate and plant crops.

Those who possess bloodline limits are all proud and arrogant; how could they possibly accept their partner making unfounded accusations against them?

Moreover, perhaps because the two bloodlines can conflict when passed on to the next generation, children born with dual bloodlines often have various problems. It is already considered a stroke of good fortune that they can grow up healthy and inherit the bloodline limit of one of their parents.

The dual bloodline limit is the kind of thing that is extremely rare and hard to come by.

Mito's expectation for Aokiji was not that he possessed two bloodline limits, but rather that he could inherit his mother's Ice Release bloodline limit, and then through his descendants, after several generations of development, Konoha might be able to have a family with its own Ice Release bloodline limit.

"Yes, that's a guy named Uchiha Aokiji."

Tsunade's furious attitude made Mito think that her precious granddaughter disliked Aokiji: "Judging from your tone, it sounds like you really hate him."

Tsunade shook her head: "I wouldn't say I hate her, but I just can't stand it. She has such great talent, yet she doesn't strive for anything and just sleeps all day."

"Perhaps they have some kind of hardship to overcome?"

Mito knew about Aokiji's situation.

It is commonly believed that the Senju clan viewed love, not ninjutsu, as their source of power, while the Uchiha clan viewed ninjutsu as their source of power. However, this view is incorrect.

No one loves more deeply than the Uchiha. They usually seal this love away, but once they understand what love is, their long-suppressed emotions will be released, and they may even gain a power of love that surpasses that of the Senju clan.

However, this kind of love also comes with certain risks.

Because they know love, when love is lost, an even stronger hatred takes its place. A special kind of chakra surges in their brain, acting on their optic nerve and causing their eyes to change. This is how the Sharingan came about.

So when his grandmother, with whom he had depended on since childhood, passed away, it's understandable that young Aokiji's personality changed drastically, and that he numbed himself by sleeping all day.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade understood the reason behind it.

I almost died laughing.

Aokiji has no real reason to complain.

She smirked: "I don't know if Aokiji has his reasons, but I do know that besides sleeping in class all day, he also secretly watches some weird stuff at night, okay?"

Mito was taken aback: "Something strange?"

Tsunade hesitated, then said, "It's...it's that..."

"Which one is that?"

Tsunade gritted her teeth, blushing, and said, "It's just... erotic novels..."

Mito: ...

Tsunade clenched her small fists and vowed, "I actually lost to a guy like that in the last shuriken test. It's a disgrace to the Senju clan. I'll definitely beat him next time."

Mito is completely bewildered.

What's going on?

I can understand her using sleep to numb herself.

But is it really okay for a five-year-old to watch this?

This isn't just numbing herself; it's downright depravity. I wonder what her grandmother would think if she saw her grandson had fallen so low.

……

……

After visiting "Grandma" at the Martyrs' Monument, Aokiji kept thinking about one thing on his way back.

Did his grandmother really die in battle?

Could it be that they were betrayed by their own people?

The False Will of Fire: Bonds of friendship, unity and love, where leaves dance, fire will never die, for the sake of peace.

The true Will of Fire: killing comrades, the tradition of killing one's master, brainwashing through pyramid schemes, and annihilating one's entire family. A great boss who creates peace, skilled in verbal persuasion.

Although the original work is a shonen manga, if Aokiji really treats it like a shonen manga, he probably won't even know if he'll be sold out in the future.

One should not have the intention to harm others, but one must be wary of others.

Before he grows up, Aokiji needs to use his laziness to disguise himself.

As I was walking, a familiar voice came from ahead: "You're so slow."

Aokiji raised his eyelids and looked at the white-haired boy in front of him: "What do you want with me here?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to apologize to you."

Jiraiya, all smiles, handed over a black plastic bag: "Didn't that incident cause you to be misunderstood last time? So, I've come here specifically to apologize."

What is that?

Aokiji took the package and found it to be quite heavy.

"Good stuff." Jiraiya rubbed his hands together.

Aokiji glanced at him, then took out the contents of the container, looked at it, and his face immediately darkened; he was practically about to spit it out.

"Hehe, not bad, right?"

Without saying a word, Aokiji handed the hot potato back to Jiraiya.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? This thing, haven't you caused me enough trouble already?"

"No, I'll feel really guilty if you don't accept it."

"Get out of here."

So, one person desperately refused, while the other desperately stuffed the contents of the bag in. In the ensuing argument, the contents of the bag scattered all over the floor.

Aokiji was terrified and quickly squatted down to pick up the scattered books. If someone saw him, he would be in deep trouble.

As he was picking them up, he suddenly saw a pair of fair and delicate legs and was startled. His gaze slowly moved upwards, and he saw a petite and exquisite girl in front of him.

It was Tsunade.

She slowly bent down, picked up a book with pictures of scantily clad, sexy women, and after a quick glance, a blush instantly spread to her ears.

Aokiji hurriedly explained, "This thing isn't mine."

Tsunade said, "You can explain all you want, but that doesn't stop me from punching you and calling you a 'pervert.'"

With a panda eye, Aokiji looked at a certain beast with his arms crossed behind his head, whistling with a resentful expression.
