"Sister Tsunade, I want to learn medical ninjutsu from you!"
Sister?
Tsunade raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard the slightly childish voice.
She looked down at the thin Kakashi, and instead of putting down the wine glass in her hand, she burst into laughter.
"Where did this brat come from? Did an adult in his family fail to keep an eye on the child? Are children allowed to enter a pub?"
"Hahaha, kid, medical ninjutsu is not something you can learn at your age. Go back home with your parents and don't run around at night."
Jiraiya also laughed boldly.
Orochimaru on the other side narrowed his eyes and looked at Kakashi's silver hair, licking his lips with interest.
"Don't underestimate him. He is the son of Senior White Fang, Hatake Kakashi. It is said that he possessed the strength of a Genin when he was only five years old."
"Senior White Fang's son?"
Tsunade was silent for a while.
Konoha's White Fang once admired by all of the Sannin, a heroic figure respected by everyone in the village.
However, during a secret mission, he terminated the mission in order to save his companion's life, causing the Fire Nation to suffer huge losses.
He was then spurned by the villagers, and even the companions he had rescued took advantage of his misfortune!
Eventually, public opinion in the village got out of control and White Fang committed suicide!
"Kakashi, tell me why you want to learn medical ninjutsu."
"Because I want to live."
"Survive?"
Tsunade frowned at that.
"Yes, live on."
"With my abilities, I can graduate at any time, so I may soon have to fight against the enemy or even step onto the battlefield."
"Then learning medical ninjutsu will increase your chances of survival."
Kakashi looked Tsunade straight in the eyes.
"So, for self-protection?"
Tsunade couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
"It's human nature to think this, but when you really step onto the battlefield, the team will naturally be equipped with professional medical ninjas, so don't worry."
"Most importantly, the reason why I insisted on medical reform in the first place was because I hoped that the ninjas on the battlefield could receive timely treatment while performing their missions."
"In other words, the fundamental mission of a medical ninja is to protect his companions, not himself!"
"So, you don't need to learn medical ninjutsu from me. If you really want to increase your survival rate, you might as well strengthen your own strength. As long as you are stronger than the enemy, you will naturally survive."
After saying that, Tsunade waved her hand at Kakashi, her refusal was self-evident.
Kakashi lowered his head and thought about what Tsunade just said.
To protect your companions? Actually...
Forget it, since that's what you think, there's nothing wrong with admitting it.
Kakashi suddenly raised his head and looked at Tsunade with a more determined look.
"Sister Tsunade, I understand what you mean."
"What if the medical ninja on the same team is unfortunately seriously injured?"
"Who can treat a medical ninja?"
"Accidents are bound to happen on the battlefield, and I also want to protect my companions!"
"So, please teach me medical ninjutsu, please!"
Kakashi finished, bowed sharply, and did not stand up for a long time.
Tsunade frowned as she looked at Kakashi who was hunched over, and rubbed her brows with a sigh.
Are you still willing to protect your companions despite experiencing such a blow?
Tsunade seemed to see the figure of White Fang senior.
"Why don't you just agree to it? A genius child should be easy to train. You have to take care of Shizune anyway, so having one more person will make things easier."
Seeing Kakashi's serious attitude, the enthusiastic Jiraiya couldn't help but persuade her.
Bang!
Tsunade punched Jiraiya on the head and gave him an unpleasant glare.
"Just shut up. It's easy to say, but you're not the one teaching people!"
"Tsunade, this kid is really talented. If you don't want to take him in, why not let him follow me? I just happen to be in need of a smart assistant in the lab."
A hoarse voice sounded from the side, and Orochimaru licked his lips with a smile.
Tsunade was lost in thought for a moment.
I don't know if Kakashi's sincerity was recognized by her;
Or maybe the incident with White Fang senior made her feel guilty as a member of Konoha Village;
Or maybe the word "sister" touched upon the past that she didn't want to mention deep in her heart.
Of course, this is the only thing she would never admit!
After thinking for a while, Tsunade finally made a decision.
"I can give you a chance. Meet at the Konoha Forest at the entrance of the village at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon."
"I'll give you a test, and if you can pass it, I'll teach you."
"If you fail, then forget it. I don't have that much time to play boring ninja games with children."
Tsunade said, waving her hand, indicating that he could go this time.
"I see. Thank you, Sister Tsunade!"
"Then I'll be going back first. Goodbye Sister Tsunade, Uncle Jiraiya and Lord Orochimaru!"
"Hey, hey! Why is Tsunade the older sister and I am the uncle? We are obviously the same age!"
Bang!
Scored twice.
Tsunade stared at Jiraiya, who was grimacing in pain, and said unhappily, "Don't mention age in front of a pretty girl, idiot! Of course it's because I look young, are you stupid?"
Orochimaru watched from the side with a smile, licking his lower lip from time to time, showing a lot of awareness of being a spectator.
Of course, Kakashi, who had already left, did not see the farce that followed.
On the brightly lit streets.
Couples holding their children, girls holding their best friends' arms, men hugging their lovers, and children running and laughing are all adding vitality and popularity to this commercial street.
Yes, today is the entrance ceremony, which is also a day worth celebrating. No wonder it is more lively than ever before.
Kakashi put his hands in his pockets and walked through the laughing crowd.
It was as if all these crowds and all the noise had nothing to do with him.
If I have to describe it, it's like being in an empty movie theater, watching a joyful New Year's movie by yourself.
Occasionally someone would notice his striking silver hair, then turn and whisper to their companions.
"It's him..."
"Who?"
"Let me tell you... You know White Fang... Yes, yes, that's him..."
Kakashi turned a deaf ear to it. The death of that cheap dad actually had little to do with him.
When his soul traveled through time and space, White Fang was already dead.
He just attended the strange funeral in person.
Speaking of which, the sky was clear on the day of the funeral, but there were very few people.
Obito, Rin, Guy, Might Dai, Namikaze Minato, and Uzumaki Kushina.
Some villagers I don't know.
Oh yeah, and there's the Third Hokage.
Protect your companions?
Kakashi couldn't help but think of Obito and Rin.
It was they who offered sincere friendship to him when he was most lonely and helpless.
Although it was a bit childish, it still deeply touched his heart.
But fate is not so easy to change!
It would be fine if it happened to ordinary people, but behind the tragedy of Obito and Rin, there is the conspiracy of Ōtsutsuki Kaguya and Uchiha Madara!
I am not the child of destiny, I do not carry the luck of the whole world, and I do not have the hidden plug-in of Grandpa Six Paths.
Oh yeah, speaking of cheats, there is a system that he almost forgot about...
As for the title of genius?
What the ninja world lacks the least is genius!
Shisui, Itachi, Minato, Kimimaro, Deidara, which one of them is not gifted, but they all died young!
Therefore, after coming to this world, he has been practicing all the time, for fear that he would die one day.
But he couldn't just let things take their own course.
There is no other reason. Although this world is big, there are very few people he cares about.
The little girl who always brings sunshine to him happens to be the most important one.
