Chapter 91: Is it a Lesson or a Reward?

"I can guarantee this, Lady Tsunade definitely didn't go to the casino today!"

Uzuki Yugao, wearing an apron, walked out from the kitchen. Her sleeves were rolled up to her elbows, revealing a section of lotus-white forearm.

Because she was cooking in the kitchen, that beautiful long purple hair of hers was simply tied up into a high ponytail.

While full of the energy of a teenage girl, she also gave off a neat and capable feeling.

"Really?", Aoba widened his eyes, looking incredulously at the reclining Tsunade.

Tsunade's forehead veins started to bulge from being stared at.

Uzuki Yugao hurriedly explained, "Because Lady Tsunade was teaching me Mystical Palm Technique today."

Aoba looked at Uzuki Yugao with some surprise, "Yugao-neesan, why are you suddenly learning Mystical Palm Technique?"

Uzuki Yugao gently flicked Aoba's forehead with a finger, smiling as she spoke, "Isn't it because of your speech? It made me realize the importance of medical ninjutsu, so I asked Lady Tsunade to teach me."

"In this way, even if I get more seriously injured during a mission, I'll have a way to treat it."

"I see… So how's your learning going, Yugao-neesan?"

"Pretty good! Lady Tsunade said I have talent, won't be long before I learn it," There was a trace of pride on Uzuki Yugao's face.

"That's great," Aoba wasn't all that surprised. He remembered that in the original work, Uzuki Yugao went to the battlefield later as a medical ninja.

Her medical talent should be decent, it's just that her swordsmanship talent was better.

"Right, has uncle gone home?", Aoba thought of Hayame.

"Mm, teacher went home."

"Then I'll go visit him tomorrow."

"Mm, Aoba, you sit for a bit. Dinner will be ready soon."

Uzuki Yugao pushed Aoba down onto the sofa, then turned and went back to the kitchen.

He looked toward the somewhat lazy Tsunade, "Teacher, why did you suddenly start teaching Yugao-neesan the Mystical Palm Technique?"

With Tsunade's personality, the most reasonable thing to do would be to have Shizune teach her, while she sneaks off to the casino or a bar or something.

Teaching someone personally, this sort of thing is rare.

Tsunade yawned, casually replying, "I saw that Yugao had pretty good talent, and I just happened to have free time, so I taught her a bit."

"Really now…", Aoba was extremely surprised.

It's not that he didn't trust Tsunade, it's just that the stereotype Tsunade left on him was too deep.

But having Tsunade teach Uzuki Yugao Mystical Palm Technique is also a good thing.

"What? You don't believe me?", Tsunade narrowed her eyes.

Aoba suddenly got a bad feeling. As he shifted his body, he said, "I believe! I totally believe!"

"Hmph, too late!", Tsunade snorted coldly and directly used a scissor leg lock.

Her long legs, well-trained over years, clamped around Aoba's waist.

Tsunade's legs weren't the thin and slender type. They were rounded and long, slightly plump, with a bit of meat on them.

Because she was a ninja, they felt quite soft when touched usually, but when exerting strength, they would become very firm.

"I've noticed you're becoming more and more disobedient lately. I need to give you a proper lesson," Before Aoba could struggle more, a sudden force wrapped around him.

He was completely enveloped in a soft, warm embrace, and then his face was pulled and rubbed.

Aoba could only silently gaze at the swaying snow mountains before him.

For a moment, he honestly couldn't tell if this was a reward or a punishment.

Eventually, it was Shizune who "rescued" him from Tsunade's octopus-like grasp. Dinner was ready.

"Aoba, how was your first day at school today?", During dinner, Shizune asked.

Aoba swallowed the fish in his mouth and thought briefly, "It was alright, made quite a few new friends."

"Any pressure with the studies afterward?", Uzuki Yugao placed a piece of meat into Aoba's bowl.

"None at all. I feel like I could graduate tomorrow," Aoba shoved the meat into his mouth and ate it, his expression full of confidence.

He had already skimmed through the textbooks given out at school this afternoon and also realized that the ninja school's teaching was somewhat fragmented.

Take the math textbook for example. It started with the multiplication table, and flipping to the middle there were things like parabolas and conic sections.

The children of the ninja world really were all-rounders. In six years of ninja school, they had to learn all kinds of stuff. Math, physics, chemistry, biology, history, geography…

But even though they studied so much, their heads didn't seem to work all that well.

Maybe it's because whether they did well in studies wasn't important, since graduation depended on the Three Basic Techniques.

"No need to graduate early," Tsunade spoke. Her expression looked a bit nostalgic,."Being a ninja isn't some easy job. These six years at the ninja academy might be the most carefree years of your life."

Shizune and Uzuki Yugao both nodded in agreement.

The two of them, one followed Tsunade around after graduation, roughing it everywhere; the other had to start working hard to survive right after graduation.

The time at ninja school really was the most carefree.

"I won't graduate early. Just feel like the stuff taught at ninja school is too simple, kind of a waste of time."

'Can't be chatting with Tenten and the others or smashing rocks every class, right?'

"Then read more books. The library at ninja school has a lot of books I don't have here. If you're not busy during class, you can borrow some to read."

Tsunade's voice paused for a moment in thought, "You've already entered the door of Sealing Techniques. Next, you can start learning the Yin Seal. Once you master the Yin Seal, I'll find some high-level sealing techniques for you."

"That'll keep you busy for a while."

"Got it," Aoba's eyes lit up.

Sealing techniques really were quite fun.

The dinner table suddenly became a bit silent again.

A while later.

"Yugao, are you staying here tonight? The guest room is already prepared," Shizune asked.

"Thanks for the trouble, Shizune-senpai, but no need."

Uzuki Yugao shook her head, "I'll sleep with Aoba tonight."

"I see… Hmm?"

Shizune didn't realize the implication in Uzuki Yugao's words at first, but after reacting, her expression became very surprised, "You said… sleep together?"

Tsunade's expression was odd. Seemed like she had guessed the truth.

Uzuki Yugao's expression was calm, open and honest, "Aoba and I used to sleep together often. Just so happens I have some questions about medical ninjutsu to ask him later, this way is more convenient."
