Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 144 Tsunade's New Apprentice Ino

In the original work, Sakura Haruno and Ino Yamanaka are both Tsunade's students.

However, the former is formal, while the latter is temporary.

In the end, Sakura Haruno learned the Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Technique, while Ino Yamanaka learned the Palm Healing Technique but didn't learn any more.

In terms of results, the former, the medical ninja, naturally has higher talent.

However, the fact that Yamanaka Ino was able to learn the Palm Technique already proves that she has considerable talent.

It's just that because she studied too many different things and had family secret techniques, there was no need for her to specialize in medical ninjutsu.

After all, the Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Technique are too time-consuming.

Sakura Haruno took three years to complete.

Yamanaka Ino couldn't have been delayed for so long.

Because she is the new generation of Ino-Shika-Cho.

You need to coordinate with Choji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara.

This reminded Natsume of Hinata Hyuga.

She also learned the Palm Cultivation Technique.

At the same time, he only touched upon the basics and did not learn any other medical ninjutsu.

In Natsume's opinion, the Byakugan is best suited for ranged combat and medical ninjas.

After all, they have a long-term vision and a clear understanding.

It has a significant advantage in both of these aspects.

For example, Kaguya Otsutsuki's Eighty Gods Vacuum Attack.

Hinata Hyuga possesses the talent to develop ninjutsu.

Natsume, of course, wouldn't let her waste her time and would let her try the Gentle Fist from a distance.

It's also possible to create acupressure points remotely.

After finishing her cup of tea, Yamanaka Ino took her leave.

She is too young to stay overnight, so as not to worry her family.

But this is also her advantage.

She now has ample time to learn the Yin Seal and the Hundred Healings Technique.

If Tsunade were to take on a disciple, excluding Natsume's influence, she would most likely only take on one.

Because she is too busy.

Moreover, there are already too many apprentices.

Yamanaka Ino comes from the Yamanaka clan, and is backed by the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Her chances are much greater than Sakura Haruno's.

However, the latter is indeed quite talented.

Natsume plans to have Yakushi Nonou take him on as an apprentice.

Moreover, you can also gain the fate value of three people, which is a huge win.

Although he also had his own selfish reasons, he preferred Yamanaka Ino.

When Tsunade returned home, Natsume told her about taking on a disciple.

Her eyes were full of suspicion.

Natsume finally managed to get her to agree after trying all night.

The Hokage's office.

Tsunade was working on documents while Natsume massaged her from behind.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

"Please come in."

Tsunade looked up and kicked Natsume, making him take two steps back and stop the massage.

To avoid being seen by others, which would have a bad influence.

As the Hokage, treating subordinates this way is not a good behavior.

But Natsume also has dignity.

So he reached out and touched her bare, arched back a few times before stepping back behind her.

Tsunade rolled her eyes at him, but quickly regained her Hokage composure and sat up straight.

"Lord Hokage."

The one who came in was Yamanaka Inoichi.

One of the older generation of Ino-Shika-Cho, the captain of Konoha's Analysis Team, and an idol to many intelligence ninjas.

At the same time, he is the father of Yamanaka Ino.

"What business does Lord Hokage have with me?"

After bowing slightly, Yamanaka Inoichi asked.

He is humble and a rare and excellent subordinate.

Regardless of which Hokage it was, they all praised him highly.

In fact, because of the close alliance between the Ino-Shika-Cho clans, as long as they do not betray them, they will always belong to the ninja clans of Konoha.

This brings us to Hiruzen Sarutobi's gameplay.

Make Sarutobi Asuma the mentor for Yamanaka Ino, Akimichi Choji, and Nara Shikamaru.

At the same time, the Sarutobi clan also served as notaries for the earring oaths made by the Ino-Shika-Cho clans.

The so-called Earring Oath means that each generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio wears the same earrings as a symbol of their alliance.

In other words, the Sarutobi clan is now bound together with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

"I have met your daughter, Yamanaka Ino; she is quite talented."

Unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi, Tsunade didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "I'm planning to take her as my apprentice. What's your opinion?"

"Taking on apprentices?"

Yamanaka Inoichi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "It is her honor to become the Hokage's apprentice."

Even if Tsunade's strength is average, the mere fact that she is a disciple of the Hokage is enough to benefit Yamanaka Ino immensely.

In addition, she is the heir of the Yamanaka clan, making her a figure of unparalleled status in the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Yamanaka Inoichi, of course, wouldn't refuse such a windfall.

"Go and tell her to come see me."

Tsunade was not surprised; by accepting Yamanaka Ino as a disciple, she had already given her a great deal of face.

Because it would be too beneficial for her.

In the original work, Sakura Haruno rose to fame in one fell swoop using this method.

Their strength and status far surpassed those of ordinary ninjas.

"yes!"

Unable to contain his excitement, Yamanaka Inoichi turned and left immediately, forgetting that he was at work, and ran to the ninja academy.

Yamanaka Ino is in school, but it doesn't matter.

As the head of the Yamanaka clan and the captain of the Konoha Analysis Team, he was enough to terrify the Chunin who were in class.

They were terrified that they had done something wrong and would be dragged away for interrogation.

Moreover, it's the kind of interrogation method that directly invades the mind.

"Why are you here?"

Yamanaka Ino left the classroom under the watchful eyes of many classmates.

"The Hokage says he wants to take you as his apprentice!"

Yamanaka Inoichi spoke up immediately, his face full of joy, "You'd better work hard!"

Yamanaka Ino was stunned, somewhat incredulous.

So fast?

She just told Natsume yesterday, and she agreed today.

And doesn't the Hokage conduct tests when accepting apprentices?

What if I don't have the talent?

Yamanaka Ino was intelligent and quickly realized that something was wrong.

"Um... is Sakura there?"

"Sakura? No."

Yamanaka Inoichi was still very excited and said, "Now come with me to see the Hokage."

Yamanaka Ino paused for two seconds.

Could it really be Natsume helping?

And I'll only help him.

At this moment, her feelings were quite complicated.

It's a little sweet, and a little guilt-inducing.

The former realized that Natsume's attitude towards her was indeed different.

The latter, however, did not help Sakura Haruno.

"Let's go."

Yamanaka Inoichi urged.

"Um."

Yamanaka Ino roused her spirits.

Tsunade has always been her idol, and she has long wanted to meet her.

Now, not only has he had the opportunity, but he has also become her apprentice.

Double the happiness!

The Hokage's office.

Are you happy?

Tsunade's tone was somewhat unfriendly as she asked, "When did you become so close to Ino?"

Natsume immediately stepped forward, turned his head, and kissed her lips, smiling as he said, "It's a little sour."

Tsunade frowned, and without any hesitation, she braced her arm around his head and drilled into his skull several times.

"Smiling and joking around, he deserves a beating!"

"Spare me, Lord Hokage!"

Because of his posture, Natsume has fallen into a deep abyss.

He gazed into the abyss, which exuded a faint fragrance.

A knock came at the door.

Tsunade quickly released him, straightened her clothes, but still felt unsatisfied, so she put on her high heels and stomped on him a few times.

"Sister, feel free to step on me!"

Natsume immediately replied, "Whatever makes you happy."

Anyway, he has a celestial body.

Moreover, Tsunade did not exert any force.

The door was opened.

Yamanaka Inoichi came in again.

However, this time there was an additional blonde girl, Yamanaka Ino.

She saw Natsume at first glance.

Some surprises.

But considering he was Tsunade's apprentice, it makes sense that he's here.

"Lord Hokage."

Yamanaka Ino and Yamanaka Ino shouted in unison.

"Um."

Tsunade nodded calmly and said, "Ino, you can call me teacher from now on."

"yes!"

Yamanaka Ino's tone was clearly excited, and her gaze towards Tsunade was filled with undisguised admiration.

Tsunade was used to that kind of look and didn't think much of it.

She thought for a moment and asked, "At your age, you shouldn't have ever been exposed to medical ninjutsu, right?"

Yamanaka Ino nodded and said, "The Ninja Academy didn't teach that."

Although the Yamanaka clan can hire medical ninjas as teachers, they prioritize learning the clan's secret techniques.

"Go to the office next door and find your senior colleague, Jingyin. Learn the basics for a while first."

Tsunade pointed to the right, where the Hokage's guard team's office was located.

On the left is the Hokage's secretariat.

The office, which originally belonged to two consultants, has been changed, which has made Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado so angry that they were about to vomit blood.

But Tsunade was very happy.

This was actually Natsume's suggestion.

Tsunade was already disgusted by the two old men, so she immediately agreed.

But she didn't understand them.

After this battle, Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado will inevitably have to take action.

They would most likely seek out Danzo Shimura.

Because it allows them to shift the blame.

Danzo Shimura has now lost power and is constantly thinking about how to get back.

He once did something as daring as assassinating Hiruzen Sarutobi.

With the help of two Hokage advisors, what is there to fear from a mere Tsunade?

Moreover, in terms of overall strength, Hiruzen Sarutobi is stronger.

Danzo Shimura was also unwilling for Tsunade, a junior, to become Hokage.

If Natsume lends a hand then, he can achieve his goal.

This led to Danzo Shimura's defection.

It makes perfect sense that Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado would die unexpectedly during their defection, right?

Danzo Shimura staying in Konoha makes it difficult to provide Fate Points.

As for the fate values ​​of the two Hokage advisors, Natsume might as well not have them.

Making Tsunade happy is nothing.

Moreover, killing them also provides Fate Points, but only once.

"yes!"

Yamanaka Ino wanted to ask Haruno Sakura, but then felt it wasn't appropriate.

So I plan to ask Natsume later to see what's going on.

She left the Hokage's office and went into the Hokage's Guard office next door.

But what's with this art style?

A middle-aged man in a green, tight-fitting suit was doing frog jumps back and forth in the office, shouting about youthful passion.

A strange, white-haired, masked man is reading an abnormal novel like "Make-Out Paradise".

A middle-aged woman with a ferocious expression is practicing medical ninjutsu on a large rooster.

Only Kurenai Yuhi appears to be normal; I'm currently reviewing the information.

But in a sense, it's quite strange that someone could be so at ease in such an environment.

"Um... who is Senior Sister Shizune?"

Yamanaka Ino hesitated for two seconds before asking.

Jingyin casually knocked out the rooster that was practicing its skills, then turned around and scrutinized her for a few moments.

Yes, she is indeed quite cute.

"You must be Ino?"

Shizune washed the blood off her hands and said, "I've already prepared some books for you; they're in the corner."

Yamanaka Ino was stunned.

She had seen the mountain of books piled up in the corner before.

She thought it was all sorts of information about Konoha Village, but it turned out to be prepared for her.

I'm starting to regret it, what should I do? I need help urgently.

Yamanaka Ino gritted her teeth; at this point, there was no way she could back down.

Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to the Hokage.

Three thousand characters.
