Chapter 146 Praise for bravery

"Oh, I really don't want to be this bullshit Hokage!"

Outside the operating room on the third floor of Konoha Hospital, an extremely arrogant sentence echoed in the quiet corridor.

The Konoha jonins who were guarding the door of the Iwagakure Ninjas ward all looked sideways when they heard this. Several of them leaned forward and looked accusingly at the corner where the sound came from.

"Whose child speaks so rudely?"

"Are you making such a loud noise for fear that others won't hear you?"

"It's really necessary to educate them verbally..."

"Wait a minute, isn't he the kid from that night -"

But this At first glance, they turned around quickly as if they accidentally entered their parents' room late at night on Valentine's Day, using gestures to explain the situation to the person behind them.

Various complex expressions flashed across the eyes of the Konoha jonins, and they quickly returned to their original positions and stood quietly, for fear of attracting the attention of the rampant kid - to be precise, the other kid next to him.

"Hey, Giyu, did you hear what I said?"

Sasuke saw that his complaints were not responded to, and the whole floor suddenly became eerily quiet. He desperately hoped that someone could interact with him and ease the anxiety in his heart.

However, Giyu was currently obsessed with the new reading book Mikoto gave him and couldn't help himself. He replied without raising his head: "What's the use of telling me? You promised our father yourself."

Regarding Sasuke becoming Hokage, It starts with Uchiha Fugaku returning home after having a conversation with Hyuga Hiashi.

The two ninja clan leaders reached some unknown secret agreement, which finally made Fugaku put aside his last concern and decided to accept reconciliation with the village, and he was very confident that he could convince those clan members who had objections.

Although becoming a consultant and joining the decision-making level is enough to fight for Uchiha's interests, that is too slow after all.

If the clan wants to completely gain a foothold and quickly get rid of the embarrassing situation in Konoha in the past, then a Hokage from Uchiha is enough to reverse all unfavorable situations, so Fugaku decided that the best among the clan must be cultivated as soon as possible.

If you want to become Hokage, apart from the endorsement of a daimyo, strength and popularity are indispensable.

However, looking at the whole clan, none of his peers, including him, are suitable candidates; Shisui, the leader of the younger generation, is still missing, and the remaining few candidates can only be regarded as barely passable.

After much deliberation, Fugaku still put his hope in his three sons.

Needless to say, the eldest son Itachi's strength is far from being fully realized, and his reputation outside the clan is not bad.

The second son Sasuke is also very talented, and his future achievements will not be inferior to his father. In addition, he also has many friends of the same age from foreign clans. In addition, he has not yet reached puberty, so he is very malleable.

As for the youngest son Giyu...

To be honest, Fugaku thought it was incredible that this child could kill Orochimaru, but what was even more incredible was that Giyu had the most friends and acquaintances within and outside the clan among the three sons!

Even the secret agreement he reached with the Hyuga clan was due to this child helping several descendants of the Hyuga clan.

No matter how you think about it, he is the best candidate!

However, when Fugaku spoke of his idea enthusiastically, Itachi and Giyu just looked at each other and rejected him in unison without even thinking about it.

Itachi's reason was that he wanted to concentrate on studying past history (after all, he didn't think he would live much longer).

But Giyu didn't give a reason at all, and even felt that his father had delayed his time to clean up the dishes, as if he felt deep down that this matter was not important at all.

Seeing that they were disregarding the future of the clan, Fugaku lost his temper. Even after catching these two traitors and teaching them a lesson, he could not change their minds. The three options that were originally promising were suddenly reduced to only one.

It is conceivable that when he looked at the second son sandwiched in the middle with red face and red eyes, the frightened Sasuke certainly did not dare to disobey his furious father, so he could only agree with trepidation, and thus the scene just happened.

"Of course you are useful. You saved the lives of the Jonin in the clan, and they will definitely consider every word you say seriously. If you tell them 'Sasuke is not suitable to be Hokage at all', everyone will say the same thing before long , Dad will reconsider the whole thing."

Sasuke glanced left and right, and after making sure there was no one around, he approached Giyu and whispered: "Don't forget, no matter what you do, no one will ask you the reason. Help Me, Giyu! This is not a lie, I am really not suitable!"

Sasuke's idea was indeed a bit taken for granted, but it was also obvious that he really couldn't think of any other way.

"But I remember..."

Giyu closed the book, revealing the title on the cover - "Cracking the Secrets of Human Relationships: Six Weapons to Turn Enemies into Friends."

"The second-year When Third Hokage came to the school to give a speech. He asked who wanted to be Hokage. Didn't you also raise your hand?"

"How can that count! I didn't know at that time that even after you become a Hokage you can be betrayed by your subordinates and you will put yourself in danger!"

Sasuke growled frantically. "Besides, his Will of Fire speech was so sensational. He almost said clearly that 'willing to become Hokage = willing to sacrifice for the village', 'unwilling to become Hokage = unwilling to sacrifice for the village'. "

"At this time, It would be unusual for anyone not to raise his hand! Not everyone is like you and can ignore other people's opinions! Moreover, when Third Hokage asked questions, his eyes kept looking towards me. Even if I wanted to fool him, he was staring at me! "

"He was not staring at you. "

Giyu shook his head and casually punctured Sasuke's narcissistic fantasy.

" Third Hokage was looking at Kyojuro, because he didn't raise his hand either. As for your words, they are not that important in the heart of Third Hokage. "

"..." Sasuke's mouth opened slightly, feeling as if he was stabbed in the heart by an invisible knife. He didn't expect that this was the case.

At that time, he was so panicked that all his attention was on himself, and Unexpectedly, Kyojuro next to him actually withstood the old man's sensational attack.

"But, why doesn't Brother Kyojuro look like the kind of person who won't raise his hand?" Sasuke touched his chin in confusion, "Last time there was a gas explosion in the hot pot restaurant, he was seriously injured trying to save people. He is the most dedicated person I have ever seen."

"Being willing to sacrifice for Konoha and being willing to take risks for everyone's safety are two different things."

Giyu corrected him: "In Kyojuro's heart, its not only the residents of Konoha are important, so if he doesn't make that kind of promise, he won't agree with that weird equation."

"That's it." Sasuke understood, and then suddenly thought of something.

He was silent for a long time, looking at Giyu with half curiosity and half worry: "Giyu, actually, you think so too, right?"

"What?" Giyu didn't understand the deep meaning of Sasuke's words.

"Is it true that in your heart, we, the clan, and the village are not more important than others?"

"You can obviously do such an important thing for the clan, but you don't even think about it. You refused directly, as if you don't think this is something worth caring about at all..."

Giyu met Sasuke's somewhat troubled eyes, thought for a while and then slowly said: "I can't be like Kyojuro and treat everyone without distinction…"

"If family, friends, and strangers are in danger at the same time, Kyojuro will save the nearest target first without even thinking about it. Because all lives are equal to him. , there is no distinction between high and low and no priority."

"..." Sasuke was a little confused. Although more than three years of getting along with him, he knew that Kyojuro had a value orientation that was very different from ordinary people, but he did not expect that he would be able to understand this kind of thing.

"But I can't be like him."

Giyu said this with some shame. "To me, the safety of mom, dad, you and Itachi is more meaningful than anyone else. If you are safe and sound only then can I consider the safety of other people…"

"But other than that, I will not put meeting the expectations of my family and friends over other people's lives. "

"Giyu..."

Sasuke's dark eyes gradually widened. In words like this, Giyu, who used to be completely incapable of showing emotions, would not say it.

For the first time in so many years, Sasuke understood Giyu's true feelings. This idea also explained many of his incomprehensible behaviors.

However, before Sasuke had time to enjoy the first half of Giyu's confession of affection, Giyu suddenly added: "By the way, Naruto is also very important. I promised him that I would protect him. I haven't seen Naruto since I came back, and I don't know how he is doing now."

The brewing emotions suddenly came to an abrupt end, and Sasuke narrowed his eyes uncomfortably: "Giyu, let me ask you something."

"What? "

" If Naruto and I ran out of chakra and fell into the bottomless sea at the same time, who would you choose to save first? "

Giyu didn't hesitate and asked naturally: "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you still need to choose? "

"So it's really me!" Sasuke was overjoyed.

"As long as you are not too far away from me." Speaking of water release, after integrating into the three tails, Giyu has extraordinary self-confidence, "There will be no danger."

"Besides, your habit is very bad. Don't always rely on the strength of others and place your destiny in the hands of others. Since you already have similar worries, you should train well to overcome this kind of environment. "

"You!!!"

Sasuke not only didn't hear the answer he wanted to hear, but he was actually educated in a condescending manner, and his face immediately turned red.

He was just about to make a fuss, but he suddenly remembered that this was a hospital, and his mother and the new Hokage, who was rumored to have a bad temper, were busy in the operating room behind him.

There was no other way, Sasuke hummed twice, reluctantly stopped, folded his arms and sat back down, not wanting to say a word to Giyu.

[ Here I thought he had made some progress...]

[Why is he like Kocho, getting angry at every turn? Did I say something wrong? ]

Giyu recognized Sasuke's expression and opened his book of interpersonal relationships to find the answer.

Sasuke glanced at the book in Giyu's hand, and immediately sat back a little further, bumping Giyu's shoulder hard in retaliation.

"I am the one who is forced to be Hokage and has to deal with interpersonal relationships. This book should be for me, right?"

"..."

Giyu was stunned and put the book between the two seats, "Then Let's read it together."

"Then I want to read it from the beginning."

"Okay."

"Not the first page, start from the cover!"

"Okay."

"Six weapons to turn enemies into friends? This book teaches you how to make friends. This book has the word "weapon" in the title. Is this book really reliable?" "

"I think it makes sense."

"Let me look at the table of contents... Chapter 1, an excellent choice to shorten the psychological distance: Praise."

Just like that, the twins put their heads together and stared at this manual on interpersonal communication for more than half an hour, and finally finished reading the first chapter.

However, unlike Giyu's joy of "benefiting a lot" and "enlightenment", Sasuke's face was full of disgust after reading the first chapter.

"Do you still need to learn this?" Sasuke said angrily: "The words that Brother Kyojuro usually praises me with are much better than the examples mentioned above!"

"I see."

Giyu suddenly realized, "No wonder, The reason why Kyojuro is so popular is because he has already understood everything."

"Humph, of course, no one will hate my eldest brother."

Sasuke felt proud for no reason, then he squeezed his eyes and remembered one more thing .

"Speaking of it, Giyu, it seems that you have never praised me in all these years."

He hid the desire that was gradually burning in his heart, pretending to talk casually, stretched out his hand and flicked the cover of the book, "Now that You have finished reading one chapter, shouldn't you try to practice? There is no one else here other than us. You can use me to practice."

This was of course not what Sasuke said casually.

Growing up, he had received countless blows from Giyu.

I helped with housework. I was told that the more help I give, the more trouble I caused, and I was sent out of the house.

If I practice fire release secretly, I was told that I can only light candles, and I was also asked not to go near the gas stove.

After hard training in taijutsu and shuriken, even if Itachi and his father were satisfied, Giyu would still ask him a lot of questions (and then his father and Itachi agreed).

If Giyu had thought about competing with him for his parents' favor and the attention of the outside world from the beginning to the end, Sasuke's character would probably be very different from what he is now.

Although Sasuke received a lot of praise from his parents, brother and Kyojuro, things are rare and precious, and he dreamed of hearing a compliment from Giyu.

"Praise you?" Giyu was a little surprised, but also a little excited about putting theory into practice. He didn't expect that Sasuke would be willing to be his "guinea pig".

"That's right. In your heart, I don't have any merit at all."

"No." Giyu shook his head violently, making Sasuke couldn't help but smile, "For example, I always thought you were very smart... "

"This won't work." Sasuke waved his hand dissatisfied, "You can't repeat what Brother Kyojuro said."

He wanted to hear something different now.

However, as soon as this harsh condition came out, Giyu immediately fell into a long silence.

When Kyojuro praises people, he leaves no blind spots in all aspects, and he has to mention some advantages that he has not mentioned...

"You really can't think of any?" Sasuke was a little anxious, "In your heart, am I the only one who is so worthless that you can't think of anything?"

Giyu saw that Sasuke was just like the fake-smiling Kocho Shinobu, only one step away from becoming angry from embarrassment.

He had already made him angry once today, and Giyu really didn't want to do it a second time.

At the critical moment, he glanced at the book in his hand, recalled the examples mentioned above, and finally uttered one word: "Looks...beautiful."

"Looks beautiful?" Sasuke repeated it as if in a dream. The word "satisfaction" has been written on every corner of his body.

"Yeah." Giyu nodded heavily, "Are you not satisfied?"

"Isn't this just another way of saying 'you are so handsome' that Ino and those girls usually use?" Sasuke sarcastically said, "Who are you trying to fool? Huh?"

He paused, " Besides, you know that except for our hairstyle, eye shape and color, we are almost identical, right? Are you praising yourself or me?"

Sasuke raised his arms, hugging each other. He leaned back like an uncle: "This one doesn't work, let's find another one."

Giyu fell into deep thought again, and after a while he started to look up at the sky like a daze, as if hoping that the peeling wall on the ceiling could give him an answer.

Sasuke couldn't bear it anymore and could only give guidance: "Let me give you an example? What about my strength? Apart from you and Kyojuro, I should be quite good among my peers, right?"

"My peers..." Giyu frowned slightly, "Is there a specific range for this age?"

"Under twelve years old." Sasuke was very confident in his own strength, and he won't even take ordinary genin seriously. He thought he was being modest when he said he was under twelve years old, " also Including twelve years old."

"Under twelve years old, then you are indeed very strong."

"Really?" Sasuke began to feel happy when he saw Giyu's brows widening.

"Well, among my peers, I'm afraid there are only a few who are stronger than you. Only Kyojuro, I..."

Giyu opened his fingers and spit out the names one after another: "Kocho, Kaguya Kimimaro, Haku, Hozuki Suigetsu, Naruto..."

"Wait a minute!" Sasuke quickly interrupted Giyu, "Who are the next few here? Also, why is Naruto ranked in front of me? In normal training, if we fought ten times he could only beat me once!"

"As for Kocho, although she has just learned how to use chakra, she is not much worse than Kyojuro and I."

Giyu planned to answer questions one by one.

"Huh?" Sasuke couldn't believe it, but Giyu only tells the truth, so he couldn't help but believe it, "This is the new person you met in the Land of Water?"

[Are you kidding me? ]

"It's not a new acquaintance..."

Sasuke no longer cares about these details: "What about the remaining few?"

"Kaguya Kimimaro moves very quickly, although your Sharingan can see his movements, but the body can't keep up. Once you fight with him, you will be killed instantly."

This is the result obtained by Giyu based on observation, "Haku is Ice Release kekkei-genkai ninja of Kirigakure Village. Although your Fire Release scale is large, the temperature It's not enough to counter his Ice Release."

"Hozuki Suigetsu has the water Hydrification technique inherited from his family. Physical skills are useless against him, and your Fire Release is completely restrained. Even if you learn the Thunder Release to dissolve water, by then he should be able to skillfully turn water into oil, but you still won't be able to really hurt him. "

Sasuke's heart felt like he had been hit hard, and he froze in his seat with a pale face: "Then Naruto..."

"When you practice with him, you win more than you lose, because it's just practice. Once faced with a life or death crisis, Naruto can exert far greater power than he usually displays. "

There is a three-tails beast in his body, and he can probably estimate the increase in Naruto's recovery and strengthening ability with the help of nine tails, "You should know that his survivability is far beyond ordinary." "

"How could it be..."

Sasuke murmured to himself, "So, among my peers, I can only be ranked...eighth?"

"Not to mention the top three, not even the top five!

" That seems to be the case for the time being."

Giyu added another blow, "Not counting those of the same age from the Kingdom of Thunder, the Kingdom of Earth, and the Kingdom of Wind. Sasuke, you are already strong. "

"Thank you?" Sasuke glanced at him blankly, then slumped in his seat motionless, with no emotion at all.

[So, is this compliment effective or ineffective?]

Giyu observed for a long time to no avail, so he had to let Sasuke go. He started studying the first chapter over and over again.

In this way, the silence between the two lasted for more than ten minutes, and was finally broken by the sound of the faucet in the operating room. Obviously, someone was about to come out of it.

Sasuke sat up as if he had regained consciousness, stared at Giyu's face and said word by word: "Now look at me! I will show you how you should praise people!"

Obviously, no matter who came out of the operating room afterwards, Whoever this person is, she/he will become Sasuke's example.

The door opened.

Shizune, who had dark circles under her eyes, yawned and walked out.

"Sasuke, Giyu, you are still here."

Shizune said with some surprise: " Thank you for being able to endure it for more than two hours. If it were me when I was a child, I would have been running and playing around the hospital."

" Although my mother is willing to believe in the new Hokage, I can't take the risk, so I have to stay here just in case."

Giyu spoke the truth that made Shizune extremely embarrassed, "Isn't she out yet?"

"Ahem, Ahem," Shizune forced a smile, "Mrs. Mikoto and Tsunade-sama are dealing with the last patient. Returning the lost metal elements of the human body is a very delicate operation. It should take a few minutes to complete. I came out early because Tsunade-sama still has other tasks for me..."

"Sister Shizune, you are so awesome."

Before Giyu could say anything, Sasuke was already praising loudly as if Kyojuro was possessed by him: "It's obvious that you haven't had a good rest for so long. You have dark circles under your eyes, but you still looks beautiful."

"Huh?" Shizune covered her mouth in surprise, "Really?"

[This kid seemed a bit cool and reticent before, so why is his mouth so sweet all of a sudden? ]

"Of course it's true."

Sasuke nodded solemnly, "And in this case, the new Hokage still allows you to participate in the operation. It obviously shows how much trust she has in you. I heard Brother Kyojuro say before, 'You are one of the most brilliant and responsible doctors he has ever seen.' It seems that he was not just talking casually!"

"Did Kyojuro say that?"

Shizune's tired eyes suddenly lit up and she clenched her right hand and declared loudly: "I know, I will definitely work harder and harder, and I will never let down the expectations of Tsunade-sama and Kyojuro!"

The resentment against Tsunade that had accumulated in her heart before suddenly became as white as the snow in summer and dissolved quickly.

"Thank you for your encouragement! Anyway, I'll talk with you later, I'm going to carry out the tasks assigned by Tsunade-sama!" "

"Okay, see you later! Sister Shizune!"

Sasuke waved to her enthusiastically until Shizune turned the corner and disappeared, and he returned to his usual appearance. He turned to look at Giyu who was standing aside, and then finally received the compliment he had been dreaming of.

"What a resemblance."

Giyu commented solemnly: "Apart from the lack of real feelings. The tone, word choice, expression, and movements are almost exactly the same as Kyojuro!"

"Of course, brother Kyojuro is my role model."

Sasuke was so complacent that he completely ignored the first half of Giyu's evaluation, and even expressed his own unique experience.

"Have you seen it? Simply complimenting someone else's appearance is not enough. What matters is the contrast."

Sasuke held out a finger: "'You are very beautiful', compared with 'You obviously have dark circles but you still look beautiful' , the latter will make others happy easily."

"I see."

Giyu nodded quickly, "Sasuke, I didn't expect that one day I would be able to learn something from you, you really surprised me."

" Right, right? Let's do it!" Sasuke was extremely happy and summarized several flattering techniques and gave them to Giyu, "I have already demonstrated them to you. It will depend on your performance when the new Hokage comes out."

" Yeah, I know." Giyu then became a little confused: "But which aspect should I praise?"

"I heard that the new Hokage is already quite old, so praising her for being young will definitely be useful."

Sasuke immediately had an idea, but he immediately realized Giyu's old habit, "By the way, I forget that you don't lie. Also Try to praise her medical skills. Although she must be a little immune to praise in this area, there is nothing wrong with saying this."

"Understood."

Giyu immediately said as He made a draft in his mind.

Tsunade and Uchiha Mikoto did not keep the two brothers waiting, and ended the operation in less than ten minutes.

When Tsunade's face in her early twenties came out of the door, both Giyu and Sasuke were a little surprised. They didn't expect that the Hokage, who was nearly fifty years old, could be so young.

"Oh, these two children are so rude. It was the first time they saw Tsunade-sama and They were stunned like this."

Mikoto smiled softly, walked behind the twins, and put her hands on the shoulders of her two sons. "I'm so sorry, Tsunade-sama."

"It doesn't matter, the eyes of children are not as irritating as the rude adults."

Tsunade's eyes glanced back and forth on the twins, and finally stopped on Giyu's left eye patch, "It's not convenient to check him here, so you'd better go to my office first."

"Okay, I'll trouble you." Mikoto smiled politely, and then followed Tsunade with her two sons. The dean's office is located on the fourth floor.

Along the way, Tsunade seemed to be thinking about other things and remained silent without speaking. Sasuke kept staring at her back, seeming very curious.

[Giyu can defeat Orochimaru, who is also a Sannin, so will she be Giyu's opponent?]

It is normal for a child of his age to think about issues related to combat effectiveness after a day of nothing.

Giyu, on the other hand, raised his eyes and scanned his mother's brain, and immediately discovered some problems: "After using the pupil technique today, are your eyes okay?" "

"Hey, did Giyu see something wrong?"

Mikoto raised her hand and pressed her eye sockets, "It's okay, it's just that my eyes are a little sleepy. This level of technique won't cause too serious consequences."

"It's better not to use Sharingan again within a week. "Giyu said and immediately looked away.

"Okay." While Mikoto agreed, she was also amazed that the child's judgment was similar to her own feelings.

[I really don't know how Giyu could tell? ]

It didn't take much time to go from the third floor to the fourth floor, and the group quickly arrived at the door of the dean's office.

However, as soon as the door to the dean's office was opened, several people were startled by the mountains of documents piled up on both sides of the desk. Many of the documents showed signs of damage.

Mikoto was a little surprised at first, but then she immediately thought that these were probably important documents that she had rescued after destroying the Hokage Building, and they were probably sent to Tsunade's temporary office.

Although she didn't regret her behavior that day, she still felt a little embarrassed when she thought about it now.

Fortunately, Tsunade had no intention of talking about it. She walked to the desk and sat down, first asked Mikoto to sit across from her, and then looked at Giyu with a careful look.

"Orochimaru is my childhood friend and my partner in fighting for many years. Although he has made many mistakes over the years, he has also made great contributions to the village. You just killed him quietly?"

Words are like pebbles thrown into calm water, causing ripples to appear immediately.

Sasuke subconsciously thought that this new Hokage was trying to cause trouble for Giyu, and his expression suddenly changed.

However, Uchiha Mikoto pulled Sasuke over and shook her head gently at him, intending to wait and see what would happen.

The ripples set off by Tsunade spread quickly, but when they touched Giyu, they stopped as if they hit a wall.

"Yeah." No unnecessary nonsense. It was as if his actions were taken for granted and there was no need to explain at all.

After the two sides stared at each other in silence for half a minute, Tsunade suddenly smiled heartily in approval.

"What a good kid. Not to mention being scared, you didn't even have any mood swings. I now believe that you have the ability to deal with Orochimaru."

"It has been less than two days since you came back to Konoha. Regarding your matter, I have heard various versions, and everyone described you as scary. However, when I actually saw you, your are completely different the rumors. "

Hearing this, Sasuke finally felt relieved and immediately winked at Giyu.

[She praised you, it's time to praise her.]

Giyu suddenly remembered the result of the previous discussion between the two, which was to praise Tsunade. The key points - youth and medical skills, the brain is working rapidly.

[ It is necessary to include both advantages at the same time... and there must be a contrast. Well, should I say it this way?]

Just when Mikoto and Tsunade were confused about why this child suddenly fell into deep thought, Giyu spoke.

"You look really young..."

[?] Tsunade was okay, Uchiha Mikoto was a little surprised, why did the youngest son suddenly say such compliments.

But for some reason, Although the child was praising others, she always had a bad feeling.

"It feels like you are less than half your actual age. "

The second half of Giyu's words made Tsunade's face suddenly become extremely stiff.

But it wasn't over yet.

"I even think you are ten years younger than my mother. "

Sasuke felt his mother holding his wrist with sudden strength, so he put his other hand on his forehead, not wanting to hear any more.

Giyu's compliments still didn't end.

He glanced at the cells on Tsunade's face, and was a little amazed. Undoubtedly, only ninjas with an ultimate understanding of chakra and cells can do the other party's beauty-preserving technique, which is no less than the demonic technique.

"It's just that such outstanding medical ninjutsu skills are used for such insignificant things. It's really too luxurious. "

After Giyu said these few words, he was very satisfied with himself. He thought he had learned the essence of Sasuke's "contrast-style" praise.

On the other hand, Uchiha Mikoto temporarily put the slander phrase "You look ten years younger than my mother." aside and quickly asked Sasuke in a low voice: "What's going on? "

"It has nothing to do with me at all." Sasuke's face was full of innocence, "I told you not to buy books for Giyu casually."

"Oops!" Uchiha Mikoto instantly understood the whole story, but it was too late to regret it.

Tsunade's face flickered in uncertainty for a while, then she raised her head and said to Uchiha Mikoto: "Mikoto, could you please take Sasuke to the hospital first? Wander around for a while?"

"I have something I want to talk about to the kid alone."
