Chapter 38 Next Time is Definitely
"So, Minato didn't do it on purpose?"
"Of course not!"
Kushina pointed towards the hospital room: "Minato was going out to train with Tsunade today. His clones didn't have much chakra to begin with. If they hadn't come looking for trouble, this wouldn't have happened!"
Ikkaku Umino nodded: "Shinnosuke, could you please go and inform the Third Hokage about this?"
"good!"
Shinnosuke quickly left.
Konoha Hospital is located below the Kage Rock, not far from the Hokage Building.
Soon, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived.
"Sandaime."
Umino Ikkaku looked ashamed: "I'm so sorry, it's all because of my negligence..."
"Shinnosuke has already told me what happened. It has nothing to do with you, so don't take it to heart."
Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, signaling the other party to calm down.
The incident happened after school, and outside of school; no one could have predicted such a thing.
At most, Ikkaku Umino simply failed to educate his students well, which has no direct connection to this incident.
"Tora! My Torata!"
Just as Umino Ikkaku was silent, unsure of what to say, the trio's parents arrived at the hospital.
"Third Generation Chief, what exactly happened? How is our child?"
The fat woman at the head of the group looked anxious and asked with red eyes when she saw Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Please remain calm; their lives are not in danger."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned serious: "However, due to my injuries, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay at the Ninja Academy any longer."
"How could this be..."
Upon hearing this, the fat woman immediately burst into tears: "Who did this?!"
"The incident started when Hu Tai and his two friends got into a verbal argument and then surrounded and attacked other students on their way home from school."
Hiruzen Sarutobi said calmly, "This parent needs to understand that no matter who did it, I will not allow you to cause trouble for that child."
"How could you do this? Our child is seriously injured and bedridden, and even their future is ruined. How can you, Third Generation, be so biased towards the murderer?"
The fat woman immediately objected, and the other parents also voiced their dissatisfaction.
"Exactly! Shixiong has always been very well-behaved; I don't believe he would do such a thing to a classmate!"
"You're right! No matter what, classmates shouldn't resort to such violence, right?"
The group started arguing in the corridor, and Umino Ikkaku quickly stopped them.
"Please be quiet, everyone. This is a hospital!"
"We need an explanation for this!" the fat woman said agitatedly.
"Explanation? What explanation?"
A cold, sharp voice reached everyone's ears as Tsunade strode over with Minato.
Tsunade's golden high ponytail swayed gracefully with the girl's movements as she strode to the outside of the ward, her gaze sharp as she looked at the group of parents.
"Are you saying that your children bullied my disciple on the way home from school, and that I have to give you an explanation?"
Tsunade's eyes were filled with murderous intent as she asked in an icy tone.
"Tsunade-sama...?"
Upon seeing Tsunade, the expressions of the group froze.
"Watergate!"
Upon seeing the two arrive, Kushina, who had been feeling uneasy, immediately found her anchor and quickly stepped forward to hug Minato's arm.
Seeing Kushina's obedient appearance, Minato couldn't help but raise his hand and gently rub her little head to soothe her emotions.
"Speak up! Don't you want an explanation?"
Seeing the others' submissive expressions, Tsunade snorted coldly, but still no one dared to make a sound.
The reason is simple: this is Konoha Hospital, Tsunade's territory.
Their own child's life is in someone else's hands...
Besides, who in the entire Hidden Leaf Village doesn't know that Tsunade is the Third Hokage's disciple?
Especially since two of the parents were Chunin from the village, they dared not speak at this moment.
Seemingly aggrieved, the fat woman sobbed, "It's just a squabble between children, why did you have to hit them so hard?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade glared at the other party, ready to give an explanation, but Minato gently grasped her hand.
"Um?"
Feeling the warmth in her palm, Tsunade subconsciously looked down and saw Minato gently holding her hand, a subtle feeling rising in her heart.
Minato was unaware of Tsunade's thoughts. He was glad that Tsunade was willing to support him unconditionally, but he didn't want her to be associated with arrogance and domineering because of this.
"I'm sorry, everyone, we arrived in a hurry and we don't know exactly what happened yet."
Minato said gently, "Although it's a clone, it's still my will after all. Knowing myself, I shouldn't do such a thing."
"It wasn't Minato who did it in the first place."
Kushina waved her little fist: "Those guys were knocked to the ground in one move. Minato was about to leave, but they kept pestering him and holding on, which is why this happened!"
Shinnosuke nodded: "That's right, and your clones warned them before it happened, but they didn't listen."
"Then I understand what happened."
Upon hearing this, Minato immediately understood and patiently explained, "They must have triggered the Wood Clone's defensive instincts when their chakra was almost depleted, causing it to unconsciously activate its strangulation ability."
The fat woman seemed to want to say something more, but her husband grabbed her arm.
Seeing her husband's somber expression and the way he shook his head slightly at her, the fat woman ultimately said nothing.
She had no idea what a wood clone was, but her husband, being a ninja, knew it all too well!
That's Wood Release!
He created the Wood Release technique for Konoha!
What else can be said?
Who would dare say anything now?
The enemy was cornered until they reached the head of a Wood Release bloodstain...
This is only because the third generation has a good temper. If it were someone else, their whole family might have had to go to the interrogation department for a visit and get some extra training in the Will of Fire.
"That should be it."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "Alright everyone, you all know the details now. Do you have any further questions?"
"No...that's all."
The group was already hesitant to provoke Tsunade, and seeing the tense atmosphere, they all fell silent.
"Hmph, don't worry, I'll do my best to heal those three brats."
Tsunade snorted coldly. Although she was annoyed by these guys, she still had her professional ethics as a doctor.
She waved and led a few people into the ward to check on the patient's condition.
Minato then looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi and bowed slightly: "I apologize for causing trouble for the Hokage."
"Haha, that's not true, but you should still be more careful when using clones in the future."
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled, making no attempt to hide his closeness to Minato.
Seeing this, Shinnosuke quickly pointed to himself: "Me too! I'm your witness!"
Minato chuckled softly, "Thank you for your help, Shinnosuke-kun."
"Then why don't you come and have a match with me?"
Shinnosuke eagerly asked, "I didn't expect you to have a bloodline limit. Could you show me your Wood Release?"
"I'll definitely do it next time."
