Chapter 3: Those who are recognized by Princess Tsunade are her own people

With Tsunade's support, Jingyi no longer needed to help out and could study in the lounge with peace of mind every day.

With enough time and Tsunade's personal guidance, Jingyi learned the Chakra Scalpel in just two days.

For a period of time afterwards, Jingyi was like a dry sponge, quickly absorbing all kinds of relevant knowledge and learning various medical ninjutsu.

Tsunade was shocked at first, then slowly got used to it, and finally became numb.

She felt like she was being squeezed dry, with not a drop left.

Most of the medical ninjutsu he had learned had already been learned by Jingyi.

Two months later, Tsunade personally took Shizuka to take the test.

As expected, Jingyi passed the assessment with excellent results, successfully obtained the medical ninja certificate, and submitted the application form for working in the hospital.

In a tavern with elegant environment.

Tsunade, Orochimaru, Jiraiya, the team trio reunited.

"Tsunade, I heard that you accepted a disciple, and the other party is from the Hyuga clan."

Jiraiya had forgotten the pain after his wound healed and put the fact that he was almost beaten to death behind him. As soon as they met, he winked at Tsunade.

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

Orochimaru paused as he raised his glass.

Tsunade glared at Jiraiya fiercely, scaring him so much that he shuddered. Only then did she withdrew her gaze with satisfaction.

"I didn't accept him as a disciple. I just saw that the boy had talent. I happened to have time, so I took him with me. But I was wrong. Hinata Shizuka has a high talent for medicine."

"Don't talk about this."

Shaking her head, Tsunade changed the subject: "What have you two been doing lately?"

Ever since the Jonin examination, the three of them had completely withdrawn from the team and were busy with their own things.

Tsunade is in the Konoha Hospital, Orochimaru is doing some weird research, and Jiraiya is either on a mission or stealing...collecting materials.

"I recently encountered a troublesome task, which took up some time."

Orochimaru replied casually.

"Hey, I'm busy. I......"

Jiraiya rubbed his hands together, but was interrupted by Tsunade before he could even start to speak.

"Okay, you don't have to say anything. If you're not peeping at girls taking a bath, you're writing your nonsense."

As she said that, Tsunade put down her wine glass and slammed the table to warn him:

"If I find out that Sheng Shu brought back some weird books again, I promise to beat you to death!"

Why don’t you teach something else? Why do you have to take the children to read pornographic books?

"Hehe, it's a misunderstanding. It's a misunderstanding. It was Rope Tree who took it back secretly. It has nothing to do with me." Jiraiya defended himself guiltily.

"hehe."

Looking at the ferocious Tsunade and the timid Jiraiya, Orochimaru raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

This was one of the few times he could relax, and Orochimaru cherished such days very much, even though he spent most of his time sitting aside and watching quietly.

Drink and eat, and share some interesting stories from work or tasks.

Soon, the three people, who had eaten and drunk their fill, left.

Tsunade left, and Jiraiya was still sitting in the same seat, holding a bottle of wine in his hand and grinning foolishly. Tsunade seemed to have forgiven him and was no longer angry with him.

"......"

Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya, who was grinning foolishly, with disdain, then stood up and left silently.

After returning home, Tsunade, who smelled of alcohol, just walked in the door and ran into Kushina who was sitting alone in the yard.

"Tsunade-sama."

Someone came, Kushina looked up and quickly stood up to greet them.

"Should I call you sister? Or is the word sister a bit too hot to the lips?"

Tsunade put her hand on Kushina's head in dissatisfaction, ruffling Kushina's red hair.

"Sister Tsunade!!"

Her hair was ruffled, Kushina was stunned for a few seconds and screamed. After all, few girls like to have a mess on their heads.

"Don't cry, don't cry, sister is wrong, sister will take you out shopping later, okay?"

Tsunade didn't expect Kushina to be so fragile. She burst into tears at the slightest teasing.

It took a lot of effort to coax Kushina into submission, and he promised to take her out shopping.

Looking at the smile on the little girl's face, Tsunade shrugged her shoulders weakly. She felt that coaxing a child was more tiring than working in the hospital.

"Sister Tsunade, someone just sent you a letter."

After getting Tsunade's promise, Kushina took out a letter as if she was presenting a treasure.

"Letter? Mine?"

Who would write to me?

Tsunade took the envelope puzzledly and opened it. After glancing at the contents on the letter, her face became solemn.

After putting away the letter, Tsunade patted Kushina's head:

"Kushina, Sister Tsunade needs to run some errands. How about I take you out shopping another day?"

"Can't I go?"

Kushina looked at Tsunade pitifully.

Tsunade began to have a headache. You were asked to play with the child for no reason. Now you feel uncomfortable.

After struggling for a while, Tsunade was finally defeated.

"Is it okay? But you have to be obedient, okay?"

Kushina is a poor child, and Shizue's situation is similar.

If the two of them get together, maybe they'll have something to talk about, and maybe Kushina can make a new friend?

Although the village strictly prohibits anyone from contacting Kushina, Shizuka is someone Tsunade recognizes, which is equivalent to being one of her own.

With Tsunade around, what's wrong with contacting Kushina?

Anyone who disagrees can come and argue with Princess Tsunade.

So Tsunade took Kushina and left the Senju ancestral home and headed towards the Hyuga clan's territory. On the way, she remembered something and bought a lot of food from a roadside store.

Lady Tsunade took Kushina to the Hyuga clan's territory.

The Anbu ninja who was monitoring Kushina reported the news to the Third Hokage immediately.

In the Hokage's office, the Third Hokage stood by the window and looked towards the Hyuga clan's territory.

"Is it because of Hinata Shizuka?"

Jingyi applied to study in the medical department. In just over two months, he had mastered medical ninjutsu that surpassed many medical ninjas and successfully passed the medical ninja assessment.

On the day the assessment ended, various materials were delivered to the desk of the Third Hokage.

Because of the injury, which caused the blood stains to degenerate, and then he was treated coldly by his family and suffered a lot of unfair treatment, he applied to study in the medical department, but accidentally showed his talent.

The scarcity of medical ninjas and Shizuka's own talent attracted the attention of the Third Hokage.

The most important reason is that Shizuka is someone recognized by Tsunade, and Tsunade is a disciple of the Hokage. So, Shizuka is half one of their own.

The Third Hokage took out Shizuka's information and looked at it carefully, then he was silent for a while: "What a pity."

Jingyi's situation is rather special, which means he can only be half of his own people at most.
