Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Chapter 38 Sakura's Talent

"This……"

Fugaku Uchiha's lips twitched involuntarily, but as the clan leader, he quickly regained his composure and tightened his expression again.

Although reason told him that the rumors were false, the current uproar meant that the falsehood had essentially become the truth.

The villagers just wanted to watch the excitement and didn't care at all whether the Third Hokage and Danzo had actually had an affair.

This would only result in a slight loss of reputation for Hiruzen Sarutobi, and would not affect his prestige at all.

If we're really talking about reputation, none of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha have a better reputation...

"Father, brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing the two suddenly fall silent, Sasuke wondered what had happened.

Is he angry?

"Cough cough cough."

Fugaku Uchiha coughed twice and said to Sasuke with a stern face, "Sasuke, I hope you can remember this defeat and win it back with your own strength!"

Fugaku Uchiha originally wanted to teach Sasuke a lesson, after all, being beaten by an unknown commoner would be a great humiliation.

But now that it's discovered he was beaten by a disciple of the Three Sannin, it's understandable, and the lesson has turned into encouragement.

Sasuke's expression also turned serious, and he spoke earnestly.

"I will definitely win back!"

Fugaku Uchiha frowned again, his voice too soft.

"With such a low voice, you think you can defeat the disciples of the Three Ninja?"

Sasuke didn't hesitate and immediately shouted.

"I will definitely win back!"

“Very good, this is the kind of spirit that my son, Uchiha Fugaku, should have. Let’s eat.”

Fugaku Uchiha nodded approvingly.

Then the family of four, all together, happily enjoyed their dinner.

The fact that Tsunade suddenly took on apprentices in the village had already become known to many people by tonight.

Some people learned about it through the Anbu, just like Itachi Uchiha, and others did so because the three of them were completely open about their conversation in the restaurant.

For a time, many people had different thoughts.

After all, Tsunade's status is undeniable: one of the Legendary Sannin and a disciple of the Third Hokage.

The last disciple of the Legendary Sannin was the Fourth Hokage.

"Can such a coincidence really happen in this world?"

Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but mutter to himself, he never expected that Aoba Shirakumo would become Tsunade's disciple.

Isn't this...?

The Hyuga clan was able to establish itself in Konoha Village by being law-abiding and obedient.

Whoever wins, I'll help them.

To put it nicely, they are law-abiding citizens; to put it bluntly, they are opportunists.

The winners in Konoha now are naturally the Hokage lineage led by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

His previous words to Shirakumo Hayama actually went against the principles of the Hyuga clan.

However, now that Shirokumo Aoba has become a direct descendant of the Hokage, those words might actually be seen as a positive statement.

Hiashi Hyuga glanced at Hinata, who was munching on rice, and his lips twitched involuntarily. His previously shrewd and calculating persona instantly crumbled.

I couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

His daughter is growing up to be increasingly distorted.

-

early morning.

Baiyun Qingye walked out of her house with dark circles under her eyes.

Although he appeared calm while talking to Tsunade, he suddenly became excited when he reflected on it afterwards.

It kept him from sleeping well all night.

However, although he didn't sleep well, it didn't affect him much; chakra is such a magical thing.

Baiyun Qingye walked briskly and lightly towards the Senju ancestral home, her mood cheerful.

But after walking for a while, he had to stop.

He had forgotten that if he wanted to get from his house to the Senju family ancestral home, he would have to pass by the Ino family's flower shop.

At this moment, Ino, who was still a tiny little girl, was obediently carrying all kinds of colorful flowers outside the store.

To his surprise, Sakura was also there, helping Ino move the flowers.

Amidst the profusion of flowers, glimpses of gold and pink shone through, and the smiles on their faces were as radiant as the flowers themselves.

Having already arrived here, Bai Yun Qingye naturally wouldn't pretend not to see her and walked straight over.

The two people who were arranging the flower clusters heard footsteps and instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came.

"Huh?" x2

The two immediately forgot about moving the flowers and ran towards Baiyun Qingye with big smiles on their faces.

"Aoba!"

"Ino, Sakura, good morning."

Bai Yun Qingye greeted the two people who ran over with a smile.

Ino arrived first.

"Qingye, did you come to see me today? Is your training over? Can we play together today?"

Ino rattled off all her thoughts in one breath, leaving Shirakumo Aoba unsure of which to reply to.

Sakura, who was a step behind, also wanted to ask, but Ino had already asked all the questions she wanted to ask, so she could only pout slightly and stand quietly to the side waiting for Aoba's answer.

At the same time, she felt a little wronged, because Shirokumo Aoba came to Ino's place today, and if she hadn't come to help, she might not have even seen him.

On the contrary, Shirokumo Aoba is currently looking at Sakura.

He also remembered that in the original work, it should have been Sakura who was taken in as a disciple by Tsunade, so he felt like he had stolen the spot.

However, Sakura's talent is quite good. Shizune followed Tsunade for so many years and only learned a little bit of medical ninjutsu, while Sakura has only studied for a few years and has almost learned everything Tsunade has to offer.

If there's a chance, Tsunade could teach Sakura. If Tsunade finds it too troublesome, he could teach her instead. She already has Tenten as a student, so having another one wouldn't be a problem.

Moreover, he suddenly realized that there was still a certain connection between the master and disciple.

He also remembered that Sakura seemed to have an alternate personality, and could even break Ino's Mind Transfer Jutsu.

If I had the chance to learn a spirit transformation technique in the future, wouldn't I be invincible? I could punch the physical body and sever the soul with my heart!

"Aoba? Aoba!"

Just as Shirokumo Aoba was watching Sakura's wild and whimsical thoughts, a golden light suddenly blocked his view.

What came into view was Ino's delicate little face, which looked somewhat dissatisfied and aggrieved.

"Ino, what's wrong?"

"Didn't you come to see me? Why are you staring at Sakura and not answering my questions?!"

Shirokumo Aoba looked at Ino, who seemed a little angry. Ino had soft, short, golden hair, a slightly flushed face, and fair skin, radiating youth and vitality.

It's just that right now it looks like an angry golden kitten, its fur standing on end.

Shirokumo Aoba quickly reached out and smoothed Ino's hair, becoming as docile as a real kitten.

Touching someone's head still works; even if someone touches someone's head, the villagers won't get a red head.

He glanced at Sakura, whose face was already flushed and who was hiding behind Ino, and seeing that there was nothing else wrong, he said, "I was actually thinking about something just now, but I just happened to be passing by today and saw you, so I came over to say hello."
