Chapter 25 The Door to a New World

"La la la~ la la la~ I'm back!"

Hearing the brisk little tune from the entrance, Tsunade, who lay lazily in the sofa, barely raised half of her head.

"Shizune, when are you going to make dinner?"

"I'll do it right away."

Shizune is somewhat helpless. It was obvious that Tsunade has promised her uncle to take care of her. But why does she feel that the roles have been reversed?

However, Shizune does not reject this change. For her, this will make her feels more at home.

Tsunade slowly slid down the sofa like a slug, and then, the scene she saw out of the corner of her eyes suddenly cheered her up, and she asked excitedly:

"Shizune, did you fight with others at the Academy?"

From Tsunade's point of view, Shizune is good at everything else, but her personality is too soft, and she will easily suffer in the future.

It should be known that when Tsunade was in the Academy, she fought all the way. Therefore, as Princess Tsunade's disciple, how can she not fight?

Shizune patted her dusty and muddy sleeves, and nodded excitedly, "Hmm!"

For a good girl like her, today's group fight experience is just like suddenly opening the door to a new world.

"I told you a long time ago, it's good to beat people, right?" Tsunade enthusiastically taught Shizune her previous experience as a bully, "Of course, it's not good to beat people casually. The best thing is that you must have one or two guys in your class who deserves a beating like Jiraiya!"

Shizune waved her little fist with dissatisfaction, "How can it be like that? We are just fighting in a war against the oppression of evil forces!"

Tsunade was stunned upon hearing this, 'Where did she learn such novel word?'

Seeing the confusion on Tsunade's face, Shizune proactively explained, "It's the delinquents in the third grade who bullied a student in our class. Then, Sōseki took us to find those delinquents to settle the accounts!"

"We dispatched the whole class together, so that the third graders were so frightened they did not even dare to say a word, and also, after we finished beating them, Sōseki asked me to treat the delinquents with him, and then we put them into another beating!" The more she spoke, the more excited she became, and at the end, her face turned red.

'That little brat actually has such courage...' Tsunade's eyes flashed a little surprise. When she heard that he was treating those people, she thought that Sōseki was going to reconcile with them.

But she didn't expect that he just wanted to beat them again!

'However, it's really relieving!' Tsunade secretly nodded.

If the last time she saw Jiraiya's kind of "kinship" in the other party, then what she saw in Sōseki this time was the same toughness as hers!

Thinking of this, Tsunade suddenly realized another question, "Wait, you said the whole class?"

Shizune tilted the head, "Is there any problem?"

Tsunade then asked curiously, "Don't you have concerns about a group fight? And, from what you said before, it seems that you are not dealing with people person this time. Are you not afraid of being retaliated against after this incident?"

"Yes!" Shizune nodded stupidly at first, and as if she suddenly realized, she then said, "We just listened to Sōseki, and followed him up without thinking."

But soon, she waved her hand confidently and said, "But don't worry, this time we helped that classmate who can be said to be withdrawn to us, therefore, the next time we are bullied, other students will definitely help us! Moreover, those delinquents in the third grade are now afraid of class leader to the death. So with Sōseki around, they won't dare to provoke us at all!"

'Just one sentence can make people him with all their hearts. This kind of trust is really enviable!' Tsunade sighed softly in her heart, "If it weren't for my hemophobia...I would be happy to accept such a disciple!"

...

In the Uchiha Clan's territory, in a mansion with the characteristics of the Warring States Period.

A middle-aged Shinobi, who was sitting still in the courtyard, suddenly opened his eyes and asked calmly, "Where are you going?"

Shūnen, who was walking through the courtyard, froze, lowered his head and turned around, "Father."

"Are you not going to explain to me about your injuries?"

Shūnen twitched his lips and said, "Someone has already told you about it."

The middle-aged Shinobi said bluntly, "I want to listen it from you!"

Shūnen knelt down helplessly, and immediately let out a painful cry, "Ouch!"

"What happened to you?"

"My butt was beaten so I can't sit down."

Seeing Shūnen twisting his body constantly, and finally change his posture where his front body was leaning down and his back hips were raised high, the middle-aged Shinobi almost choke directly.

Taking a deep breath, the middle-aged Shinobi calmed down and said, "You can say it now."

Shūnen pouted and said, "In short, I was beaten for the glory of the Uchiha Clan!"

The middle-aged Shinobi said with a sneer, "Then, should I praise you?"

Shūnen murmured, "I think it's okay."

"Bull*hit!" The middle-aged Shinobi slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Just after I didn't see you for a while, you already got hung out with those trashes? Do you know that those bastards are just taking advantage of your Uchiha's reputation? As for you, they never regarded you as their own!"

"I know."

"You know... huh? You said you know?"

"I'm not an idiot. I can still tell whether the others treat me good or bad."

The middle-aged Shinobi suppressed his anger and asked, "Then why are you still hanging out with them?"

Shūnen did not answer directly, but talked about something else, "From my childhood, except for my friends in the clan, no one of my age would like to play with me."

"Is there such a thing? Why didn't I know?"

"Of course you don't know, you've been with the Clan Head all day and never had time to look after me!"

The middle-aged Shinobi frowned and did not speak.

"I have tried and tried to be friends with the people outside, but I have failed... In fact, none of these matters, but the only thing I can't bear is that they slander the Uchiha Clan behind our backs!"

"From then on, I've learned that it's better to make people fear us than to make them like us!"

The middle-aged Shinobi's eyes flashed with a touch of emotion, but he quickly reprimanded Shūnen with a cold face, "Idiot! People can't exist if they didn't have a group. Even our ancestor, Uchiha Madara couldn't do it, so why would you say such a big talk?"

"That's better than doing nothing like you! Such weakness is not the glory of the Uchiha Clan at all!"

"Get out of here!"

"Hmph! I can walk by myself!" Shūnen stood up, limped out with his hips up.

After Shūnen left, an inaudible muttering rang in the quiet courtyard, "Did we really do something wrong? We have clearly restrained the clansmen, and we also have already shown goodwill to the Hokage and his clan, so why is the situation still not changed at all? Is it our family that bears the curse, or...is someone secretly pushing it from behind?"
