Konoha: From the moment I was adopted by Tsunade

Chapter 6 A Kind and Understanding Child

"Tsunade, aren't you going to introduce her to the teacher?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi wore a kind and approachable smile, which, combined with his superb acting skills, made him seem like an ordinary old man next door.

Tsunade pursed her lips.

As the Hokage, he should have already thoroughly investigated Shizune and Natsume's backgrounds.

The reason for this whole charade is simply to leave a good impression on them.

"This is mute."

Tsunade said casually.

"Mute it."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said nostalgically, "I can't believe how much you've grown up. If only your uncle were still alive."

Tsunade narrowed her eyes, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Old man, shut up."

"Sorry, I was just thinking about things from the past."

Hiruzen Sarutobi then looked at Natsume and asked, "Who is this child?"

"Natsume, the apprentice I took on yesterday."

Tsunade reacted quickly; she suddenly realized that Hiruzen Sarutobi had come for Natsume.

As expected, he should have already asked Yakushi Nonou.

"An apprentice? That's a rare sight."

Hiruzen Sarutobi crouched down, reached out, and touched Natsume's head, asking, "Tell grandpa, which ninja clan are you from?"

That old geezer is awful.

Natsume realized the problem earlier than Tsunade.

In fact, he had already considered this issue beforehand.

As one of the Legendary Sannin, Tsunade's disciples would definitely be investigated by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Natsume was born in an orphanage, and the person who understands him best is naturally Yakushi Nonou.

However, as her foster mother, she would not betray Natsume; at most, she would tell Hiruzen Sarutobi that he was a member of the Senju clan.

This reason is sufficient for Tsunade to accept a disciple.

Natsume subconsciously looked up, not at Hiruzen Sarutobi, but at Tsunade.

Tsunade noticed those expressive eyes and couldn't help but smile. How clever!

"He has the bloodline of the Senju clan. I saw that he had the talent of a ninja, so I took him as my apprentice."

"I see."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was not surprised at all.

He did ask Yakushi Nonou.

But he didn't connect it to Wood Release.

After the Senju clan dispersed and returned to Konoha, Hiruzen Sarutobi kept a close watch on them and had a complete list of them.

the reason is simple.

The importance of Wood Release.

Once awakened, Hiruzen Sarutobi will step in and take them away.

Unfortunately, decades have passed, and not a single person has awakened.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was known as the "Professor of Ninjutsu," and Konoha Village conducted experiments on Wood Release: Hashirama Cells in its early years.

Comparing the two, he believed the reason lay in the individual's constitution.

Hashirama Senju's physique was so abnormal that even his cells maintained an astonishing level of activity.

This may be the key to awakening Wood Release.

Hiruzen Sarutobi had already checked it when he touched the head.

Natsume is pitifully weak.

It's impossible for him to awaken Wood Release.

After dispelling any doubts, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "I think Natsume is old enough to go to school. In a few days, I'll have the Ninja Academy issue him an admission notice."

"unnecessary."

Tsunade instinctively didn't want Natsume to leave her, so she said, "I'll teach him."

"You should know the benefits that the ninja academy has brought to his development."

Hiruzen Sarutobi wasn't angry at all. He smiled and said, "Not only can I teach him ninja-related knowledge, but I can also make friends."

Tsunade frowned upon hearing this.

She knew that what he said was indeed true.

That's why she wanted Shizune to go to the ninja academy.

"Natsume, what do you think? Do you want to go to the Ninja Academy? You'll make lots of friends there."

Hiruzen Sarutobi changed his attack and targeted Natsume.

He is quite confident when it comes to children.

Over the years, through publicity, he has built up the image of the strongest Hokage and a kind grandfather.

The children idolized him.

Natsume was slightly taken aback; he actually wanted to enroll.

As the saying goes, having more friends means having more options, and having more wives means having more paths to take.

Moreover, staying in Konoha makes it easier for him to collect Fate Points.

"I'll listen to my teacher," Natsume replied.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was taken aback. Why wasn't he playing by the rules?

Is it because I haven't done enough publicity over the years?

Upon hearing this, Tsunade smiled slightly, quite satisfied with Natsume's answer.

"I will consider enrolling in school."

"OK."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped pressing the issue and got down to business, "Three days from now, at eight o'clock in the morning, is the funeral of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. Remember to be there on time."

Tsunade's smile faded, and she nodded, saying, "I'll be there."

"Goodbye, Grandpa Hokage."

Natsume and Shizune spoke up.

The silence came from the heart.

As for Natsume, he's just a disguise.

Hiruzen Sarutobi left with a smile.

Even if Natsume has any problems, as long as he is in Konoha, he cannot escape his grasp.

"Go in."

Tsunade withdrew her gaze.

She was already used to Hiruzen Sarutobi's style of doing things, so she wasn't surprised by this test.

The three people went into the house.

"Jingyin, you'll be sleeping in this room from now on."

After putting down the newly bought clothes, Tsunade said.

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

She immediately put the clothes in the closet, demonstrating her self-discipline.

Tsunade was very satisfied, which meant things would be easier for her in the future.

"After you're all ready, go wait for me in the living room."

After saying that, she went upstairs.

Jingyin tidied up the room, then closed the door and went to the living room.

She blinked.

So cute!

She saw Natsume slumped on the sofa, looking like a pure white cat.

"Natsume's younger brother."

Jingyin sat down opposite him and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Seven years old."

Natsume sat up straight and asked in return, "And you, sister?"

"I'm fourteen years old this year."

Shizune patted her tablet and said, "Now you're a qualified genin. If Natsume ever needs anything, just ask your older sister."

The words implied a desire to build a closer relationship.

Because she thought Natsume had been with Tsunade for quite some time.

"OK."

Natsume said happily.

He was indeed quite happy.

Tsunade, Shizune, and Kabuto Yakushi.

They can definitely be called the three great healers of Naruto.

From now on, it will be difficult for him to die even if he wants to.

"It seems you two get along well."

Tsunade came downstairs, stood in front of the two of them, handed a book to Shizune, and said, "A book about medical ninjas."

After turning on the silent version, I was a little dumbfounded.

Natsume also leaned over to take a look.

It turned out to be a list of medical books.

You devil!

Those who advise others to study medicine will be struck by lightning.

Natsume finally understood this principle.

Relatively speaking, it's simpler to be a regular ninja.

"Shizune, your task during this period is to memorize the theoretical knowledge, and then I will teach you medical ninjutsu."

Tsunade then looked at Natsume and said, "Come on, come inside with me, I have something to ask you."

Natsume could basically guess what it was about.

Ninja Academy.

Sure enough, after entering the room, Tsunade asked, "Natsume, do you want to go to the Ninja Academy?"

Her original plan was to leave Konoha Village with Shizune.

But now there's Natsume too.

If the child were to wander with her, it would inevitably lead to hardship.

After spending the last two days together, she had grown to like and feel sorry for Natsume quite a bit, and the fact that he was going to school was indeed somewhat useful, so she was caught in a dilemma.

After hesitating for a moment, Natsume said, "I'll leave it all to you, sister."

Tsunade noticed his expression and understood that he wanted to go to school.

As for following her arrangements, that shows Natsume's understanding.

The more this happened, the more Tsunade felt she couldn't treat him unfairly.

She picked up Natsume and placed him on her chubby lap, her two large breasts pressing down on him, and said, "What a kind and understanding child."
