After hearing Aoba’s promise, Tsunade seemed to be relieved. She didn’t continue the topic. Instead, she picked up the bottle and took another big mouthful.

Aoba also picked up the bottle and took a mouthful.

All of a sudden.

The atmosphere in the room became silent again.

“Aoba, Konoha is not as safe as I thought. I can take you away if you don’t want to stay with Konohagakure Intelligence Division. If you leave the village with me, you will still be a Konoha Ninja. You will not be regarded as a defector.” 

Tsunade took the initiative to change the topic.

“Tsunade-sensei, I think I should stay with Konohagakure Intelligence Division. Not only can I contribute to the village in the future, but I can also investigate who harmed Sensei that night.”

Aoba did not agree blindly. He still maintained his own opinion and gave his reasons.

Of course, other than that, there were other reasons.

He did not want to go through twists and turns and preferred to live a quiet life in a stable place.

For him.

He followed the feeling of going with the flow.

It was better for him to hide in Anbu, quietly studying the scenes of the missions in Sakumo’s memory every day, constantly improving himself and slowly developing.

“I understand.”

Tsunade was not disappointed at all. From her expression, it seemed that she had already expected this matter.

“Your answer is similar to Minato’s.”

“When Jiraya invited Minato to travel together, Minato also said something similar.”

“Konoha still needs you, young ninjas, to contribute your strength.”

“I am also very happy that you have such awareness.”

Tsunade picked up the bottle and took another sip. She just proposed this plan, not forcing Aoba to follow her idea. The final decision was still in Aoba’s hands.

It could be said that there was one more possibility.

It gave him another way.

After finishing this sip, Tsunade looked out of the window. The sun was already setting.

“Aoba, the earliest is three months, and the latest in half a year. I will leave Konohagakure with Shizune.”

Tsunade directly said her decision.

She was a free and easy person.

If she wanted to leave, she would go. When she thought it through, she would come back.

As for her student.

She would not force them always to follow her. She would first ask Aoba if he was willing to leave Konohagakure with her.

“During this period of time, I plan to teach you some important medical ninjutsu. However, you have to be clear that learning medical ninjutsu does not mean that you are a medical ninja.”

“Medical ninjutsu is only a means of treatment, and the methods and theories of treatment need to be learned for a long time.”

“After you master medical ninjutsu, you need to read as many medical books as possible in your free time to understand the internal organs and chakra pathways of the human body so that you can better use medical ninjutsu.” 

When Tsunade talked about medical ninjutsu, her face became serious. After all, medical ninjutsu was not a sloppy matter.

“Understood.”

Aoba nodded heavily. After hearing Tsunade’s words, he instantly understood what she meant.

Medical Ninjutsu was not like the healing skill of the game.

The game was just a picture.

The game only had a health bar on the surface, and the real human had several organs and other things inside.

Some people were injured because their skin had been cut, and they needed to repair their wounds.

Some people were injured because their bones had been broken, and they needed to connect the bones deep inside.

According to medical theories, some people were injured because their internal organs had been impacted, so they needed to be repaired.



Different degrees of injuries different types of diseases all had different treatment methods.

Medical Ninjutsu was only a means of treatment.

But what really determined the level of medical ninja was the most basic medical accomplishment.

It was not like Shōsen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique) could cure hundreds of diseases just by knowing it.

There were so many medical ninjas who could use Shōsen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique), but there was only one Tsunade. This was the power of medicine.

Tsunade’s powerful medical skills neutralized even the poison expert Chiyo used.

These were to rise to a knowledgeable level!

“It’s good that you understand. As a medical ninja, um, you are not a medical ninja yet, but I still want to say this. Our basic quality is to be serious and do things carefully. I have seen all of this on you. I am very satisfied with you.” 

As Tsunade explained the basic qualities of a medical ninja, she didn’t forget to praise Aoba again.

“I understand, I really understand.”

Aoba’s face became serious. He knew that Tsunade was talking to him about this as a senior medical ninja.

These words would not improve his medical strength, but they could give him directions to the future as a medical ninja.

With just sufficient chakra and proficiency in Shōsen Jutsu(Mystical Palm Technique), you could not be called a medical ninja.

Medical ninjas needed to have extremely rich medical knowledge. They could calmly and carefully deal with all kinds of unexpected situations and make the most accurate and reasonable treatment choices.

“From tomorrow on, you will follow me to train. During this period of time, I will give you special training so that you can complete a transformation from head to toe.” 

Tsunade picked up the bottle and drank a large mouthful. The sake entered the heart of sorrow, turning into a strand of yearning sadness.

In fact.

She did not have any inclination towards Aoba being a medical ninja.

She just wanted to teach Aoba some medical ninjutsu.

It was not just because she was a medical ninja, and her student must be a medical ninja.

Instead, she hoped that Aoba would have an additional ability to protect himself while she was away, whether it was the people in the village or the people outside the village.

She knew very well that with Aoba’s cautious personality and the medical ninjutsu she had prepared, as long as he did not meet someone who wanted to kill him, at least he would increase his hope of survival.

This was her original intention.

“Understood.”

Aoba nodded again. After he came to the Ninja World, he had never been serious about training.

All along, training had been sneaking around at night.

Moreover, he was imitating the things in his memory and learning by himself. He had never received any guidance from any teacher.

Now, he had Tsunade’s guidance.

He was looking forward to it.

“Hmm… Do you have any other requests?”

Tsunade leaned forward slightly and leaned towards Aoba. She blinked and stared at Aoba. Her cheeks were slightly red, and the deep ravine kept changing into a mysterious scenery with the rise and fall of her breath.

“It’s not a request. I don’t know if it’s appropriate to say it…” Aoba pursed his lips and said.

“Tell me about it.” Tsunade kept staring at Aoba.

“Because Tsunade-sensei, you will leave soon. Then the matter of me being your student in public. Can we wait until you come back to Konoha?” Aoba asked tentatively.

“Of course. Even if you don’t mention it, I plan to do it. Otherwise, your identity as my student will only cause more trouble for you.”

“However, your immediate superior knows about it; I will remind him again. He must know what to do, and your life in Konohagakure Intelligence Division will be better.” 

Tsunade said with a smile. After that, there was a flash of disappointment in her eyes. She then whispered, “I thought there was something else…”

“The other things…”

Aoba thought for a moment. Other than keeping it a secret, there was nothing else. He was just afraid that the identity of Konoha Sannin student would attract unnecessary attention and disturb his peaceful life.

“There is only this matter. There is nothing else.” Aoba confirmed.

“Do you really have nothing else to ask?” Tsunade said with a smile.

“No more.”

Aoba shook his head decisively and got up immediately, “Tsunade-sensei, it’s getting late. I need to go back and prepare for training tomorrow.”

“Yes, you can go back.” Tsunade was still sitting on the ground. She did not get up. She picked up the bottle and took another sip.

After getting Tsunade’s permission, Aoba immediately opened the door and left.

He didn’t know if it were an illusion.

He always felt that Tsunade was intentionally seducing him.

This made him a little scared.



After Aoba left.

Tsunade’s face suddenly became clear. She had no intention of getting drunk.

“Not bad, not bad, not bad. He is completely different from Jiraya!”
