Ch 23 : Result of the bet 2

The scroll placed in front of Tenma is as high as a hill, so it can be seen how much dead fish Tenma has treated in this test for Tsunade.

"hu..h.."

"Tsunade-sama, I have succeeded!"

Tenma pretended that he gasped heavily for breath. He had lost count of how many fish he had treated today. However, one thing for sure was that Tsunade gave him five hours to complete this task, and he was able to do it in under one hour. Therefore, he needs to pretend that he could only finish it because he put in a lot of effort.

Nonetheless, Tenma was surprised that when he looked up, Tsunade still did not have the slightest approval on her face. It is only slightly nodding, indicating that Tenma can finally go home to rest.

On his way back, Tenma had a lot of concerns.

Should he not pretend and show his real talent? But wouldn't it be too overbearing?

but…

Tenma just couldn't get today's event out of his mind. He recalled Tsunade's attitude today and suddenly frowned.

"I.. What did it do wrong?"

"It seems that after I completed the first test, Tsunade-sama has been sullen."

"Was I doing so badly….."

" *Sigh* Beautiful woman is always difficult…"

There was such confusion in Tenma's mind. But in the end, he didn't want to think too much about it.

After all, he wasn't desperate to be Tsunade's student. He was just there to fulfill the bet and see the Goddess of this world.

' Even if she didn't accept me, I still have Law-sensei.'

' But… to think that I would let the most beautiful woman I have seen since coming to this place go… *Sigh* What a pity..'

Along with that thought, Tenma began to straighten his mind and then started his own training program.

At the same time, unknown to Tenma, the beautiful woman that she was really concerned with was actually in a pretty low mood.

She went to a bar and shoved a good amount of alcohol directly into her mouth.

Jiraiya, sitting in front of her, saw this. His brows could not help but wrinkled slightly, and said:

"Tsunade, I don't know why you are like this. Is it that little guy's talent not good, and you are burdened to take him as a disciple? If that's the case, I will talk to the Third Hokage!"

Jiraiya said full of valor.

For Tsunade, he would never let the chance go to make a good impression.

But who would thought that Tsunade didn't even look at him and just sneered?

"Is his talent not good? If that's the case, then I could only be regarded as talentless…"

Tsunade recalled Tenma's test scene today, full of sigh, she said:

"Jiraiya, do you know how shocked I am today? I used to think that my Medical-Ninjutsu talent was second best to my grandpa. However, I discovered that in two weeks, that brat was able to do what I learned in months!"

"Can you imagine? Can you imagine how shocked I was at the time? Can you imagine how annoyed I was?"

Speaking of this, Tsunade's voice became lower with every word she said. Her face appeared to have a depressed expression, and then as she flicked her long golden hair, full of bitterness:

"You know, I gave him this test for a reason to reject him. But I was faced with this humiliation."

"And now.. wouldn't I have no other choice but to accept him as my disciple?"

However, Tsunade's last words were not heard by Jiraiya. He had just thought that Tsunade was distressed because Tenma was too much of a genius to teach.

"Hahaha, I know how it feels, Tsunade. This is the distress of teaching genius!"

Tsunade's face sank as she heard Jiraiya, and once again depressedly drank the booze on her hand, but Jiraiya pointed to Tsunade. With a proud face, he said:

"When I taught Minato, I also had this thought. However, the disciple surpasses the Master. Isn't that what they should aspire for?

Therefore, Tsunade, you should be thankful for that little brat's talent instead of being distressed!"

Jiraiya picked up the glass and drank merrily.

And suddenly, he thought of something and then continued to say to Tsunade:

"Still, that kid is from the Shimura family. Maybe now I understand why you are a bit wary."

"En?"

For the rest of the night, Tsunade seemed like she still couldn't get the distraught on her heart and could only vent it away by drinking the night away.

. . . . . .

Early the next morning, Tenma opened his door only to find a group of masked people waiting for him at the door.

"Tenma Shimura, wake up. Your teacher Princess Tsunade is waiting for you!"

" From now on, you will learn under Tsunade, but first please follow me as I will guide you to the place where you will begin your training.
