The next morning, the silence was broken.
Ruofeng smiled bitterly.
“I didn’t sleep well at all. Looks like last night’s revelations really got me excited.”
He glanced toward the corner of the room.
It looked completely ordinary, yet it concealed something extraordinary.
“Forget it. I’ll take another look tonight after I get back. For now, I should head to school. I wonder if Kushina is waiting for me.”
Ruofeng exhaled and smiled.
Thinking about it, he had spent yesterday playing with Kushina, making himself her first friend in Konoha.
And not just an ordinary friend.
When he walked out of his bedroom, the maid who had been waiting for him immediately asked, “Young Master, the master has already gone out to manage the businesses. Are you heading to the Ninja Academy now?”
Ruofeng nodded.
“Yes. I’m leaving now. You don’t need to follow me.”
After washing up, he casually ate a few bites of breakfast and headed toward the Ninja Academy with a tired expression.
Once you have been somewhere once, finding it again becomes much easier.
Having visited the Academy yesterday, Ruofeng quickly arrived there today.
As soon as he saw the Academy, he felt an arm drop onto his shoulder.
A familiar voice followed.
“Ruofeng… You’re up pretty early today, but you look exhausted!”
Ruofeng looked at the person beside him.
“I couldn’t sleep last night. By the way, Nawaki, have you seen Tsunade?”
The person was none other than Nawaki, one of the people Ruofeng had met at the Ninja Academy.
He was also Ruofeng’s senior, since Nawaki was currently a third-year student while Ruofeng was only entering the first grade.
Nawaki shook his head.
“I saw her last night. She looked pretty happy. She went out early this morning, apparently on a mission. Jonin are like that. Besides, my sister is a medical shinobi. She isn’t an ordinary Jonin.”
Ruofeng’s eyes flashed with anger.
“That’s true. Becoming a Jonin as a medical shinobi is extremely rare in Konoha. Tsunade is incredibly strong, but her character is really hard to praise.”
His voice was filled with resentment.
Even now, Ruofeng was still thinking about his Qilin Resin.
That was Qilin Resin!
Tsunade had simply stolen two pieces of it.
The corner of Nawaki’s mouth twitched.
“No way!
Yesterday, my sister told me to take good care of you at school.
She even told me to teach you some of the Senju clan’s unique techniques.
At first, I thought she thought highly of you.
“But now that I think about it, my sister must have done something!”
Nawaki knew his sister extremely well.
They were siblings, after all.
The faint dark circles under Ruofeng’s eyes seemed to fade as his face flushed with anger.
“She stole my things and thinks a few ninjutsu techniques can make up for it? Even if she spent her entire life compensating me, it still wouldn’t be enough for what she took!”
Ruofeng spoke angrily.
“Uh… it looks like my sister really took something incredible.”
Ruofeng shook his head and continued toward the Ninja Academy.
“It’s a medicinal herb that has been preserved for three thousand years and contains tremendous medicinal power.
Even an ordinary person could recover from extremely serious injuries after consuming it.
“If Tsunade eats it, the effect will be even more extraordinary.
That terrifying medicinal power could stimulate the vitality within her bloodline, filling her cells with vitality and making her chakra brim with vitality as well.
At this point, I estimate that even dying would be difficult for her.
“Such precious medicinal material…
I only had three pieces, and your sister stole two yesterday.
“Looks like your sister inherited the First Hokage’s love of eating, drinking, gambling, and other vices. But she went even further, becoming better than her teacher. She even learned how to swindle and deceive people.”
His words were filled with resentment.
Nawaki gave an awkward smile.
“Uh…
I apologize.
I’m sorry.
When my sister comes back, I’ll make her apologize to you.
“But you seem to know my sister pretty well.”
Ruofeng nodded silently.
“An apology?
That probably isn’t realistic.
Whatever…
I’ll just consider myself unlucky.
Who told me to understand Tsunade so well?
“Not only did I see her completely exposed, I even understood everything going on inside her body.”
The moment he finished speaking, Nawaki was completely dumbfounded.
He swallowed hard.
“What…?”
Ruofeng paid no attention to Nawaki’s shock because a clear voice suddenly came from nearby.
Kushina raised her hand.
“Ruofeng… I’m here!”
Ruofeng looked toward her.
Kushina had already run over.
She looked at Ruofeng with obvious happiness.
Nawaki stared at the scene in disbelief.
“What the hell… That’s way too impressive! He saw my sister completely exposed, and now he’s already picking up girls too. This is ridiculous!”
Before long, Ruofeng entered the Academy.
What he didn’t know was that the scene from moments ago had also been witnessed inside the Hokage’s office.
The Third Hokage looked at his disciples with an expression of helplessness.
“Uh… What am I supposed to say?”
“This little bastard…”
Tsunade was furious.
What ‘understood everything inside her body’?
What ‘eating, drinking, gambling’?
What ‘better than her teacher’?
What ‘swindling and deceiving’?
“He only took two pieces of medicinal material, and he doesn’t even know exactly what they do! Does he really have to complain this much?”
As Tsunade remembered the scene she had just watched through the crystal ball, she instantly became furious enough to punch someone.
Jiraiya, meanwhile, was completely dumbfounded.
He was still immersed in Ruofeng’s words and muttered to himself,
“He saw her completely exposed, and even knew everything inside her body… How fortunate…”
Orochimaru remained expressionless.
“That red-haired girl… Is she the future Jinchuriki?”
At those words, the Third Hokage silently nodded.
“That’s right.
She will become Konoha’s future Jinchuriki.
“These two children are both members of the Uzumaki clan.
One of them will become the future Jinchuriki.
We haven’t determined which one yet.
“But today’s mission is related to the Jinchuriki.”
After hearing this, the furious Tsunade finally fell silent.
She naturally understood the matter concerning the Jinchuriki.
After all, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Uzumaki Mito, was her grandmother.
Tsunade also knew the circumstances surrounding the two young Uzumaki girls.
But hearing Ruofeng’s words unintentionally still made her furious.
The Third Hokage continued.
“This mission is related not only to the Jinchuriki, but also to the Uzumaki clan.”
As the Third Hokage explained the mission, Tsunade gradually calmed down and listened carefully.
Leaving that matter aside, Ruofeng entered the Ninja Academy.
A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.
The surveillance has disappeared.
That strange spiritual power just now…
It should have come from the Hokage’s crystal ball.
Ruofeng had sensed something unusual the moment he encountered Nawaki.
In particular, the slight disturbance in his spiritual power had seemed to tell him that someone was watching him.
Ruofeng naturally trusted his instincts.
After all, his grandfather had told him that he had inherited his clan’s sensory abilities.
After Kushina appeared and they entered the Ninja Academy, the surveillance disappeared.
Although it was strange, Ruofeng didn’t pay much attention to it.
At that moment, Kushina looked at him.
“What’s wrong? Did you get too excited last night and fail to sleep well?”
Ruofeng smiled.
“Something like that. But it doesn’t matter now. Let’s wait for the arrangements. I’m really curious about our new classmates. I wonder if there will be anyone interesting.”
As he spoke, Ruofeng saw Shanmu walking toward them.
