Chapter 11, Uzumaki Mito

However, now that he was the only one left at home, he could practice the power of the Thunder Fruit without any restraint.

Raijin couldn't wait to grow up and then rub Tsunade on the ground!

Raijin has been suffering from Tsunade for a long time!

After two years of exploration, Raijin also had a basic understanding of the Thunder Fruit.

The use of the power of the Thunder Fruit has nothing to do with chakra.

It directly consumes Raijin's own physical strength.

Unfortunately, Raijin did not get an additional blue bar because of this.

After all, using chakra also consumes Raijin's physical strength.

In the dojo, the sound of crackling electricity rang out, lasting until late at night...

....

The next morning, the habit formed over the past two years allowed Raijin to wake up on time at seven o'clock.

After getting dressed, Raijin naturally walked into his parents' bedroom, pulled out a few banknotes from the small cabinet, and walked towards the direction of the ninja school.

The new students of the ninja school start school in June, in the middle of summer.

Wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and a pair of comfortable short boots, Raijin slowly strolled towards the direction of the ninja school.

He bought twenty skewers of dango on the way, eating as he walked.

"Raijin!"

Just as Raijin was leisurely walking towards the ninja school, Tsunade's voice suddenly rang out.

"Hmm? Want some dango?"

Raijin turned around when he heard this and handed Tsunade a skewer of dango.

"Hmm."

Tsunade took the skewer of balls from Raijin's hand without any politeness.

After two years of training together, the two were very familiar with each other.

"Don't you have anyone at home to send you to school?"

Tsunade asked Raijin while eating the dango.

"They're all on the battlefield, I'm the only one left at home."

Raijin said casually when he heard this, actually, he was not unfamiliar with this kind of solitary environment.

In his previous life, after graduating from elementary school, Raijin had always been boarding outside, and after graduating, he wandered outside for three years before preparing to go home.

Unexpectedly, before going home, he came to the ninja world first.

"If you're lonely, you can come and live in the Senju house."

At this moment, a gentle female voice rang out, speaking to Raijin.

"Thank you, but I won't bother you."

Raijin said with a light smile when he heard this, and his gaze fell on Tsunade.

Seeing this, Tsunade pointed to the young woman with red hair and said.

"This is my grandmother."

"Mito-sama ."

Raijin greeted Uzumaki Mito politely when he heard this.

To be honest, because of the Yin Seal technique, you really can't tell whether Uzumaki Mito is Tsunade's grandmother or Tsunade's mother.

"Are you Uchiha Raijin? Tsunade often mentions you, you're really polite, not like Tsunade"

Even in the middle of summer, Mito was still wearing a proper kimono, her red hair was tied on both sides, tied into two small buns, her face was wearing a gentle smile, her manners were dignified and proper.

Raijin smiled awkwardly when he heard this, and didn't say much.

"I heard that you have mastered the C-level Ninjutsu of the five attributes of wind, thunder, water, fire, and earth?"

Mito's face was filled with a kind smile, and she asked Raijin.

"But I still not a match for Tsunade."

Raijin said with some frustration when he heard this, he didn't hide his strength, this couldn't be hidden at all, how many Ninjutsu he learned from Motohide, the next day it would spread all over Uchiha, the third day, everyone in the village who wanted to know would know.

Outrageous!

"Tsunade is just powerful for now. When you grow up, it's uncertain who will be stronger."

Mito took a couple of steps forward and patted Raijin on the shoulder.

As a ninja who lived through the Warring States era, Uzumaki Mito had her own understanding of the Uchiha and Senju clans.

The Senju clan's bloodline has been powerful from the beginning. Their advantage lies in easily surpassing their peers. With enough effort, the gap can gradually widen.

Just like Tsunade, because of Raijin's presence, she strives every day. Otherwise, if she's not careful, Raijin might surpass her, and Tsunade wouldn't accept that.

Similarly, Uchiha clan's bloodline focuses on a crucial moment. Once the Sharingan is activated, their strength experiences a significant leap.

The downside is that before activating Sharingan, they are just slightly stronger than civilian ninjas, but the difference is not significant.

Now, Mito is satisfied with the relationship between Tsunade and Raijin. This woman, nearing her sixties, can naturally see the determination in these two youngsters.

As a result, they are completely unaware that compared to their peers, they are way ahead.

"When he grow up, he won't be my match," Tsunade said while eating dango.

"Oh, right, right," 

Raijin glanced at Tsunade. Even with Uzumaki Mito nearby, Raijin couldn't resist wanting to choke Tsunade.

He just couldn't stand this woman's arrogant demeanor.

"Hmm?" 

Tsunade immediately turned her head, her eyes filled with hostility.

Helplessly, Raijin pursed his lips and could only step back. Tsunade lifted her chin slightly and took another dango from Raijin's hand.

"Now, Raijin is not Tsunade's match, but don't be discouraged. Ninjutsu levels don't determine superiority; each has its own merits," Mito encouraged, patting Raijin's shoulder.

"Keep it up."

"I will, Mito-sama," 

Raijin nodded in response, earnestly agreeing.

Facing Mito, Raijin was somewhat nervous.

"Don't be nervous"

Mito said with a light laugh. In no time, the trio arrived at the ninja school.

Compared to previous years, there were fewer parents this year, but the number of students hadn't decreased. In fact, it had increased.

Konohagakure's overall population was on the rise.

"I'll go in first, Mito-sama."

Raijin said to Mito

"Sure, go ahead. Perform well."

Mito nodded with a gentle smile. Tsunade also waved to Mito and entered the school with Raijin.

Watching the two youngsters enter the school together, Mito's face was filled with a smile.

Mito held no bias against the Uchiha. Even if Hashirama and Madara clashed at the Valley of the End, in Mito's eyes, it was just two close friends differing in their shared dream.

"Youth is truly wonderful."

Mito chuckled softly, muttered a low word, and turned towards the Senju clan's territory.

She was no longer needed here.

As an elderly person, one should leave some space for young people.

Today, at their first meeting, Mito was quite satisfied with Raijin, who was humble, gentle, and completely devoid of Uchiha's arrogance.

This is good, whether it's Uchiha or Senju, they never lack geniuses.

But only those who grow up can be considered geniuses.

Those who don't grow up, at most, are just a genin who can fight a bit.

And arrogance is the biggest root of a person's downfall.

Suddenly, Mito thought of what Tsunade had asked her to do before.

Was the improvement of that technique meant to be given to Raijin?

Mito understood in her heart, but it must be said that Raijin is really good-looking.

This old bone of mine also needs to work harder!
