In a certain restaurant in Konoha, a conversation caught everyone's attention.
"What? Lady Tsunade stripped Lord Fugaku in the arena?" guard friend exclaimed in shock.
"Ah, haha, that… she was probably just checking his injuries, you guys don't think too much." The guard tried to laugh it off and explain.
Some customers nodded, but others looked skeptical. Some of them even paid their bills and left hastily.
Now more and more customers were starting to pay their bills and leave in a hurry.
This was bad… The guard felt his life flash before his eyes and started to panic. If Lady Tsunade found out that they had spread rumors, they would be in big trouble…
He glared at his friend and asked in a whisper: "You idiot… what do we do now?"
His friend was also scared. They shouldn't kill us, we were Konoha's civilians, right?
They hid themselves in a corner and started to plan their escape from this trouble.
"How about we give Lady Tsunade a heads up first?"
"You should go and tell her. It happened because of you. You know how scary she is, right?" The guard suggested.
"Then what do we do?" His friend asked.
"How about we beg Lord Fugaku and ask him to help us with Lady Tsunade?" He proposed.
"Are you crazy? The Uchiha and the Senju are enemies. How can he help us?" The guard objected.
"But you said that Lady Tsunade wanted to heal his wounds. Maybe they have a good relationship in secret. Why else would they agree to duel in the arena?" His friend reasoned.
"Sigh~ You have a point." The guard admitted.
.....
On a certain ground in Konoha, Jiraiya looked at Tsunade who was sitting on a tree branch with astonishment and asked seriously.
"Do you mean that he is much stronger than you? By a large margin?
Tsunade was lost in her thoughts, without looking him. She continued:
"I don't know how he became so strong all of a sudden and I managed to land a kick, but he didn't have any injuries in the end. It felt like… it's like…"
"Like your grandfather? The First Hokage?" Jiraiya completed her words.
Tsunade nodded in agreement.
"Could it be that he transplanted of the First Hokage cells?" Jiraiya tries guess.
But as soon as he said that, he remembered that was failed research. that experiment had been stopped by Konoha long ago, and to avoid unnecessary trouble, Konoha's clan were even don't know about it.
Tsunade shook her head: "It can't be. The transplant surgery is too risky, not to mention that even if it succeeds, his regeneration ability and strength wouldn't come this close."
She knew her grandfather best. If she kicked him like Fugaku, even her grandfather might not heal such short time. That was not a normal injury, but a bone fracture.
"Hey, you were too impatient. We agreed to go together in the afternoon. You shouldn't have gone by yourself in the morning." Jiraiya complained.
They had planned to go together in the afternoon. Maybe they could find out something by together. But now they didn't have single clues.
"If you are by my side, the he may not agree to fight at all." Tsunade responded:
"Huh, that's true."
"You can go back, I need some rest..." Tsunade said as she exhaled and leaned against the tree trunk.
She felt that she was powerless. Her strength had not improved at all since the Second ninja World War.
Today, she had a strong desire to fight him for various reasons. But when she faced him, he didn't even take her seriously, but she still lost.
This realization made her depressed. Jiraiya understood why Tsunade was like this. He sighed then left.
He had no idea what made him chase her for so long, but she never said yes. In the end, he let that bastard made her sad?
"Tsunade-sama, I have made the medicine you asked me to." Ten-year-old Shizune came to her side and looked at Tsunade who was looking sad.
For some reason, she felt that after today's battle, Tsunade-sama looked more depressed.
"Shizune."
"Yes?"
"Never mind, help the old man one last time, and then we will leave Konoha." Tsunade said.
Shizune nodded. She was Tsunade's niece. She would do whatever Tsunade said.
...
"Fugaku-sama, how did you find out I have a forbidden technique??"
might duy asked with surprise, standing at his home gate and looking at the clan head Fugaku.
He had never used this technique in front of anyone before, and even his son was unaware of it. How did the Uchiha clan head know?
"I happened to see you training once before." Fugaku replied sheepishly:
He lied through his teeth, using his knowledge of the future to fool many people for his own advantage. He wouldn't try to fool anyone in such a blunt manner, but might duy.
"I see…I didn't expect Fugaku-sama to notice me when I was training. I didn't even realize it myself. It seems I still need to work hard!" Might Dai said to himself, seemingly missing the point.
Fugaku shook his head sadly and gazed at the humble dwelling of might duy, the eternal genin.
Fugaku let out a sigh. duy lives in a very different place. His house is small and isolated, with various objects scattered around the entrance. The whole scene gives a gloomy impression.
Who claimed that everyone was prospers in Konoha? might duy faced scorn and ridicule wherever he went. He spent his days searching for cats, collecting trash and pulling weeds.
The money he made was barely enough to sustain himself and his son's ninja education. It was a hard life.
Sure, Guy had graduated and become a genin himself. He could start earning his own income, but might duy's struggle was still obvious.
Fugaku nodded with a grin and gave might duy a friendly pat on the shoulder: "Sure, I appreciate your offer to teach me. I don't want you to feel like you're doing me a favor for nothing. I may not have much to offer you in return... But if you ever need anything from me, just say the word."
