Chapter 564 Teaching

Nine o'clock in the evening, izakaya.

"Did you call us out so late just to let the two of us drink with you here?"

Sitting in a secluded corner, after ordering drinks, Haiyi and Ding Zuo sat opposite Lu Jiu, and after pouring themselves a glass of wine, Haiyi took the initiative to tease Lu Jiu.

"Yeah, I feel more and more recently that I may not be suitable for the current job. I don't know if it's because I'm a middle-aged man with a child now, and I always feel a little timid when doing things."

Facing Haiyi's ridicule, Lu Jiu did not refute, but admitted it in a self-deprecating tone.

"Did something happen? This is not like the usual you. As far as I know, Master Hokage trusts your character and ability very much. It shouldn't be so sudden to deal with you now, right?"

hai The teasing smile on his face also slowly disappeared, Ding Zuo beside him also assumed the attitude of a listener.

Although there were some twists and turns inside Konoha due to some things last year, the adverse effects brought about by this twists and turns are being slowly smoothed out under the comfort of the new Hokage Tsunade.

Although the various voices in the village have not been completely calmed down, based on the current trend, it will only be a matter of time before the village regains its previous stability.

So, the two of them didn't understand Lu Jiu's complaints at this time. With such a shrewd and reliable Hokage, they would never bother as much as they did in the past.

"Well, how should I put it... because I can't respond to Hokage-sama's expectations."

Lu Jiu took a sip of the mulled wine, and said something that both Haiyi and Ding Zuo felt puzzled, but they also came to a realization.

Unable to respond to Hokage-sama's expectations... This kind of line can be said to be quite ambiguous in terms of position.

"Has Hokage-sama asked such a question?"

The expressions of Haiyi and Ding Zuo became serious.

Hokage came to power in the past dynasties, and the policies implemented are different.

As the saying goes, once the emperor and the courtiers, with the change of Hokage personnel, it naturally represents the interests of every interest group and will be redistributed. Whether to decrease or increase depends on the degree of trust in Hokage.

Even as the backbone of the Naruto faction, they can't guarantee that they can always guarantee that they will not be suppressed by Hokage.

The only difference is whether they blocked Hokage's way forward.

Since Shikajiu said so, it is obvious that their Hokage-sama will make a big move in the future, trying his best to win Shikajiu into her camp.

"Yes, but this is also a natural trend. Before Hokage-sama can be included, it is basically included in his hands, and the rest that cannot be included can only be dealt with head-on. Next, it depends on which side of the two sides gives in first."

Lu Jiu shook the wine glass in his hand, his face slightly drunk.

"It's just too fast."

Hai sighed lightly.

"It's true that the speed of action is a little too fast, and it is for this reason that she can become the Fifth Hokage. Whether it is in terms of personal charm, ability, or merit, she is an impeccable existence."

Lu Jiu smiled and said.

hai nodded and expressed his opinion: "Since the Uchiha clan had an accident at that time, the direction of many ninja clans has begun to change in an unknown direction. Even within our three clans, there have been some different voices... The support for Hokage has also become less firm than before. If Hokage-sama wants to start with the ninja clan, I'm afraid..."

Honestly speaking, in Haiyi's view, Tsunade is doing nothing now, maintaining the status quo, which is the best result for the New Hokage faction, or other factions.

Most ninjas only ask for the power to protect themselves. Only a small number of ninjas will radically want to seize power from high-level officials and do all kinds of behaviors that cross the bottom line.

New Hokage means a new regime and a new distribution of benefits.

It can be said that now is the most sensitive time for the ninja clan. If Tsunade is a little more provocative at this time, it is difficult for even Haiyi to predict what will happen in the end.

This is completely different from the incident that dealt with the Uchiha clan.

In order not to disappear silently one day, today's ninja clan will not fight alone like the Uchiha clan.

"I can understand your concerns, but Hokage-sama has her own opinions. Even if I analyze the results of this part, she will most likely not listen..."

This is probably the result of hardened wings. Lu Jiu looked at the wine glass, a little bit lost in interest.

Compared to the original Minato, Tsunade's current wings are indeed too hard, and they are so hard that they don't look like a person on the throne of elementary Hokage.

And in terms of decisiveness and action, it is also better than the third generation of Hokage.

On the political level, it can be said that it has gathered many advantages of the two generations of Hokage... Excellent people often only refer to other people's suggestions, but still focus on their own subjective judgments. Under normal circumstances, they will never be interfered by external factors.

Lu Jiu can understand this kind of 'arrogance', because he also has similar problems.

In other words, all talented ninjas have such unique personalities.

The most important point is that Tsunade made such a decision based on his own practical data, not sitting in the office and implementing the policies he will implement through his own imagination.

Besides, he began to accumulate his own political capital in the early stage, and did not act recklessly at the beginning, which proves that Tsunade has his own detailed plan, not relying on impulse and enthusiasm... To put it bluntly, it is difficult for anyone to stop such a Tsunade.

Thinking of this, Lu Jiu couldn't help becoming irritable.

I can only keep pouring wine from my mouth, let my brain start to faint, paralyze my current spirit, let myself get drunk, and then stop thinking about it, hoping to put aside all the troubles in this part.

Haiyi and Ding Zuo also drank dull wine with Lu Jiu.

In terms of age, the three of them will not be as naive as their descendants. They only act based on the justice and likes and dislikes in their hearts. Often when doing one thing, there are more things to consider.

However, in terms of interests, they are not like the older generation. They still have a strong family ethos from the Warring States Period, and they put the family interests first, thus ignoring the overall position of the village.

Neither have the naive fantasy of young people, nor do I want to become a stubborn old man who only accepts death. I hope that I can have the drive of young people to make my own career.

This sense of the times that is up and down makes them sometimes laugh and cry, making them dumbfounded.

While drinking wine and toasting, the atmosphere was not as oppressive and depressed as before. Instead, it was filled with a fiery atmosphere, and the sadness on his face gradually dissipated.

"Three old men are sitting here drinking, don't they feel bored?"

Inappropriate words cut in.

I saw Shikamaru walking over with his hands in his trouser pockets with a helpless face.

Seeing the three big men drinking drunk here, they suddenly started complaining speechlessly.

"Well... Isn't this a genius in our family? Why, what's the matter?"

Seeing Shikamaru appearing here, Shikaku didn't care, instead he teased Shikamaru with a teasing tone.

Shikamaru raised his eyebrows, and said directly: "You haven't come back so late, mom is a little worried about you, let me call you back for dinner."

"It's a lie. It's already this time, they must have told me to go back and kneel on the washboard, so I won't be fooled."

Shikajiu looked at the wall clock next to him, and immediately saw through the lies in Shikamaru's mouth.

Shikamaru was not embarrassed when he saw through the lie, and knew that such a lie would not scare his father.

"If you don't go back, my mother will lose her temper again. I don't want to suffer from unwarranted disasters."

"...You let her wait at home, I have the final say on this family today."

If you are full of momentum, it seems that you are the head of the family.

"I recorded what you said just now."

Shikamaru took out a voice recorder from his pocket.

Lu Jiu seemed to have hallucinated the suppressed laughter of Haiyi and Ding Zuo next to him.

"Dad, you don't want your mother to hear what you say, do you? Are you going to follow me now, or should I go back and ask my mother to come here in person?"

Shikamaru uttered threatening words with no expression on his face, looking unmotivated, staring at Shikahisa like a dead fish.

Shikahisa glanced at Shikamaru standing in front of him, feeling like his son had grown up suddenly.

If I knew this earlier, I would have given birth to a daughter with such a thoughtful padded jacket.

However, even if you want to put Shikamaru back into the furnace and remake it, it is probably impossible.

"Shikamaru."

"Um?"

"Do you want a sister?"

Lu Jiu's expression became very serious and serious.

Shikamaru looked at his father Shikahisa with a face full of astonishment, not knowing where the other party made a wrong answer.

"No, I want a younger brother more than a younger sister."

Shikamaru began to think seriously.

One woman in the family is enough trouble, if there is another one, he has to consider moving out to live by himself.

"Really? Then give birth to two younger sisters, and I will ask you to take care of them alone."

The end of February.

The cold air of winter has dissipated a lot under my eyes. In the bare woods, many new tender green shoots sprouted on the ground, poking their heads out in the air.

In the depths of the woods, there were bursts of yelling, the voice seemed to be full of energy, and I saw two figures, one big and one small, conducting extremely rigorous training.

These two people are Tsunade and Sakura.

Different from the spotless Tsunade, Sakura is not only out of breath at the moment, but also covered with scars all over her body.

Pink waist-length hair, also due to a lot of dust, lost its proper cherry-colored luster, and the hairstyle became even more disheveled. Paired with blue and purple scars on the body, it gave people a miserable feeling that was worse than a beggar.

"Remember, as a ninja, don't stop fighting as long as you have breath! On the battlefield, never ask your opponent for alms and mercy!"

Seeing Sakura like this, Tsunade not only has no pity in his eyes, but his eyes that have lost their temperature glanced at Sakura with cold eyes. The whole person looks like a stone without emotion, giving people endless cruelty.

"yes!"

Even though the pain was so painful that she wanted to feel aggrieved and shed tears, Sakura thought of something and endured the pain, gritted her teeth, and carried out the training to the end with the last willpower in her body.

Although from the beginning, Sakura tried to increase the difficulty of Tsunade's training as much as possible, but at the moment when she was actually guided by Tsunade, she realized that this kind of training is not for human beings at all... no, it is not for women.

Compared to Tsunade's strictness, Kakashi's guidance for her in the past may not even meet the novice level difficulty standard.

The two cannot be compared at all.

However, it is not yet possible to give up.

If you don't want to be the tail of the crane, and don't want to depend on others for everything, you can only become stronger and stronger yourself!

She didn't want the pain of trying to do nothing when something happened.

"Keep attacking now, don't stop!"

Tsunade continued to reprimand, telling Sakura to attack her quickly.

Sakura gritted her teeth, circulated the chakra in her body, gathered them in her fist, rushed straight to the front of Tsunade, and punched hard.

Tsunade's facial expression remained motionless, as if he didn't see Sakura's fist.

When the fist was about to hit her face, she raised her palm and placed it in front of her body, wrapping Sakura's fist in her palm, unable to take a step forward.

No matter how Sakura struggled, the fist wrapped in Tsunade's palm remained motionless, as if it had been welded there.

Suddenly, Tsunade loosened his palm, and a huge thrust passed through Sakura's fist and recoiled onto Sakura's body, causing her body to shake suddenly, and then flew out like a kite with a broken string, rolling on the ground for more than ten meters before stopping.

"Ahem."

Sakura coughed violently.

Although she didn't vomit blood, the pain in her body accumulated and deepened. It was a huge and difficult test for her willpower.

"Chakra is not concentrated enough, and the speed of running Chakra is not fast enough, so how can it burst out of power. Could it be that you haven't eaten today? The genius of Chakra control... I think this comment in your writing is a bit overrated."

"Old, teacher..."

"Call me Hokage-sama, when you meet the standard I expect, I will formally accept you as a disciple."

Tsunade refused without hesitation, with a cold attitude.

Sakura felt aggrieved, but she just pursed her lips and didn't speak. She tried her best to adjust her breathing and adjust her mentality.

She knew that these trainings that tortured her were on the one hand to train her lack of physical skills, and also to hone her willpower.

According to Tsunade, female ninjas are born weaker than male ninjas on average. If you want to develop powerful taijutsu, then the training of willpower is more cruel and strict than the training of male ninjas.

Only in this way can women, as disadvantaged groups, hope to equalize male ninjas and then surpass them.

Among the ninjas in the famous town today, the proportion of female ninjas is extremely rare, and most of the time, they are dominated by men.

It is precisely because of this that Tsunade is so strict.

Use the highest standard to exercise Sakura's willpower. If you can't even pass this level, then there is no need to talk about the advanced training later.

Not only Tsunade understands this point, but also Sakura, who is the abused person.

After all, Tsunade's attack knew the seriousness, and deliberately avoided the vital points, and would not leave any permanent trauma to Sakura's body afterwards.

Doing this will make Sakura's posture indecent, and make her ignore the fact that she is a girl when she is fighting, but a ninja stronger than a man!

To put it simply, it is to let Sakura understand that the identity of a woman is just a drag when fighting.

As long as you don't treat yourself as a woman, you will be on the same level as a man in terms of mentality, and you won't put yourself under psychological pressure.

As for the mentality, the importance of the ninja's role in combat is self-evident.

Many female ninjas subconsciously think that they are not as good as male ninjas in battle. No matter how they fight, they will fail as a result. As a result, morale was weakened by 30% before the battle started.

All Tsunade wants to do is this, through the tempering of willpower, let Sakura completely get rid of the fact that she is a 'woman'!

Rough and barbaric, if you want to be respected by men, you must be more ferocious than male ninjas in battle, otherwise, you will not be able to deter others.

Especially in these chaotic times.

Next, every attack by Sakura will be repelled by Tsunade, and then fall a long distance.

Once, twice, three times...ten times...twenty times...until finally stretched out and fell to the ground without the image of a girl, today's training is not over.

"Hoo...hoo..."

Sakura put her palm on her forehead, wiping the sweat on her forehead feebly, panting weakly.

Tsunade walked over, and said with a slightly relaxed expression: "Let's stop here for today's training. After you go back, take a shower and wash your body. In addition, you have performed very well these days. At first, I thought that if you persisted for three days, you might not be able to persist. As long as you always maintain this idea of becoming stronger, I believe you will break out of your own world sooner or later."

"Yes, Hokage-sama..."

Sakura forced herself to sit up from the ground and continued panting.

Use the chakra in your body to perform medical ninjutsu, and start to treat your wounds to relieve pain.

After the training is over, there is no need to torture your body so much.

Seeing Sakura skillfully using medical ninjutsu to heal herself, Tsunade's eyes also flashed a look of admiration.

Being able to use medical ninjutsu so proficiently at this age can be said to be quite outstanding. Even some medical ninjas who are a few years older than her may not be at her level.

"Speaking of which, Sakura, why did you become a medical ninja?"

"Ah, this..."

Hearing Tsunade asked this question, Sakura was surprised, then her face turned red, and she explained a little awkwardly.

"Probably because of Sasuke-kun..."

Speaking of this, Sakura's face obviously had a hint of loneliness.

Tsunade rubbed his chin to think, and then said to Sakura: "Really? Because of love? Although I don't really want to hit you, Sakura, I don't know what kind of person Uchiha Sasuke is, and he is worthy of your attention. But there is only one thing, you must remember that he is Konoha's defected ninja, and from the moment he left Konoha, he is not from the same world as you."

"Is there no way for the village to accept Sasuke again, Hokage-sama? And Mr. Kakashi..."

The expression on Sakura's face became urgent.

Tsunade stared at Sakura's expectant face, and slowly shook his head.

"There are some inside stories that you can know if you are not a ninja...I can only tell you that they cannot return to Konoha, and Konoha cannot accept their existence again."

Sakura's eyes darkened.

"Sorry to hit you."

"No, this has nothing to do with you, Hokage-sama. I am very content to be able to tell the truth to me. In fact, I also understand that Sasuke-kun and Kakashi-sensei cannot come back. This is just wishful thinking between me and Naruto..."

The expression on Sakura's face, the smile is very far-fetched.

"Is that yellow-haired boy? He has really annoyed me recently. He hoped that I would revoke the arrest warrants for Uchiha Sasuke and Hatake Kakashi. He kept yelling that he could take them back to Konoha, reformed himself, and hoped to give them a chance... What a naive brat."

Tsunade thought of something and pressed his temple with a headache.

He really deserves to be the guy that Ji Lai also likes. He also lacks a root in his head, and his political understanding is simply a natural pair of idiots. Compared with 'grandfather and grandson', they are more like biological brothers.

Although optimism is a good thing, there are some things that cannot be bargained for, or even settled with an optimistic treatment.

Uchiha Sasuke can still turn around, as long as he can let go of the past prejudices...But Kakashi, but the real murderer who murdered the third generation of Hokage, although not directly killed, but also successfully forced the third generation to commit suicide...It can be said that the lightest punishment for Kakashi is life imprisonment, and killing him when he is arrested is also not an exaggeration.

If it wasn't because the opponent was Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, I really wanted to punch him from the Hokage Building to the main gate of Konoha, and let him know what Hokage's Iron Fist is!

Hearing Tsunade's words, Sakura also laughed awkwardly.

"Well, I'll talk about him well later, Hokage-sama."

"As you please."

Tsunade no longer had expectations for this matter.

"By the way, did Naruto-sama become a medical ninja?"

Sakura cleverly changed the topic.

"It's because of Jiraiya."

"Master Jiraiya?"

Sakura opened her eyes wide in confusion.

Tsunade dug his ears, as if he was remembering something.

"That guy Jiraiya liked to peep at women's bathrooms since he was a child. I beat him many times, but he never changed. But he was still a classmate. In order to prevent him from accidentally beating him to death, I learned medical ninjutsu. In this way, I can rescue him repeatedly and continue beating him. And thanks to him, I accumulated a lot of valuable medical experience when I was young. From this point of view, I also want to thank him for his dedication."

Hearing Tsunade's understatement, Sakura trembled.

"Okay, I should go back. Take this book back and read it carefully. It will be of great help to your future medical ninja path, and it is also something you must face."

Tsunade took out a book from his ninja bag, put it in Sakura's hand, and turned to leave.

Sakura picked up the book, titled "Field Medical Records of Seriously Injured Patients in the Second and Third Ninja World Wars".

Out of curiosity, Sakura opened the book.

Scanning to the above content, Sakura's face turned pale and her back felt cold in an instant. She quickly closed the book and vomited on the grass next to her.

"vomit~"
