Hiko raised his head to look at Tsunade, nodding with a smile: “What, do you want to join?” Tsunade did not answer, instead asking a puzzled question in return: “I am curious, why do you head to the Training Ground?
You train at the Clan Ancestral Hall, and you even have clan elders to guide you, don’t you?” Ignoring the perfectly good clan training grounds to squeeze into public ones with ordinary ninjas—Hiko’s behavior was truly baffling.
“Haa~~~~” Hiko let out a yawn, wondering internally why the Teacher hadn’t arrived yet, and replied indifferently, “I don’t like people pointing fingers at me.
Is that reason enough?” “Bring me breakfast tomorrow, I want a meat bun!” After tossing that at Hiko, Tsunade sat up straight, and the Teacher walked into the classroom just at that moment.
Bring you a meat bun?!
Hiko froze for a moment, looking at Tsunade’s cute profile, unable to fathom what the girl was thinking.
The Senju Clan was clearly restricting Tsunade from getting close to him, yet this girl was insisting he bring her a meat bun!
At least I’ll finally be able to sleep in a bit tomorrow.
If Hiko knew Tsunade’s actual thoughts, he would likely have spat out a mouthful of blood.
It turned out there was none of the messy drama Hiko had imagined; Tsunade just wanted to sleep in a little longer.
As for the warnings from her clan elders, Tsunade didn’t give them a second thought.
All that messy clan animosity meant nothing to her; make no mistake, Tsunade was just that willful, at least for now.
Forget it, no point in dwelling on it.
After guessing for a while and failing to see through Tsunade’s intentions, Hiko simply gave up.
It was just a small meat bun, hardly a troublesome task; if she wanted to eat, let her eat.
The unlucky Jiraiya, having been slapped by Tsunade, eventually reached a point where even the Teacher couldn’t watch anymore and sent him to the hospital for treatment.
“Uchiha Hiko!!!” After school, Hiko headed to the Training Ground as usual, training until nightfall before returning home, only to find an unexpected guest waiting for him.
“Captain.” Hiko was puzzled.
He wasn’t in the Police Force, so why would the man come to his home?
Had he done something to attract the attention of the Uchiha High Command?
Yet, nothing of the sort seemed to have happened; Hiko hadn’t even revealed his Sharingan to anyone.
“En.” The Captain looked down at Hiko from his height, a flash of satisfaction crossing his eyes.
Although he worked in the Police Force, he spent more time handling specific clan affairs, and most children felt intimidated when they saw him.
But Hiko remained composed and unhurried, showing neither fear nor any lack of propriety.
This kid is good!
Deep down, the Captain silently gave Hiko this assessment.
“Your performance lately has been good.
The Great Elder asked me to tell you that with the Uchiha backing you, you have no need to worry about the interference or opposition of other clans.
As a reward for this, the Great Elder has specifically approved your entry into the Ancestral Hall to select two suitable Ninjutsu.” “Kid, make good use of this.
Go to the Ancestral Hall whenever you have time.” The Captain seemed to have no intention of engaging in idle chatter with Hiko, leaving immediately after delivering the Great Elder’s message.
Watching the direction he left in, for a long, long time, a trace of imperceptible sarcasm flickered at the corner of Hiko’s mouth.
Do they really take me for a fool!!!
It was blindingly obvious: the clan was encouraging him, Uchiha Hiko, to win over Tsunade.
It was absolutely ridiculous.
“Backing” me?
What a calculation.
It was a pity he wasn’t an idiot, though being able to enter the Clan Ancestral Hall to choose two Ninjutsu was an unexpected windfall.
Why talk about “backing” now?
Where were they when it actually mattered?
One could easily guess what the Great Elder was thinking.
This so-called support was just meant to disgust the Senju Clan.
On the surface, the Uchiha Clan and the Senju Clan were peaceful, but in the shadows, the fighting never ceased.
If members of the two clans were to unite, heh~~ the consequences would be severe!!!!
Yet now they were supporting Hiko to go after Tsunade?
Isn’t that just treating Hiko like a five-year-old, treating him like an idiot?
One could tell from Tsunade’s reaction that the Senju Clan was constantly trying to persuade her not to get close to him.
If he were to actively pursue her and make a mess of things, the Senju Clan would undoubtedly be the ones to lose face.
In these situations, the woman is always the one who suffers.
What a calculation!
