Chapter 26: Formal Apprenticeship to Tsunade, Haruto: What's Wrong With Me Being Cute?

"Really?"

Therefore, Haruto chose to quit while he was ahead and looked at Tsunade in astonishment and asked back.

"Yeah! Really!"

Tsunade nodded with a grin, "So, kid, what's your answer? Are you willing?"

"I do! Uchiha Haruto, meet Tsunade-sensei!"

Haruto immediately bowed to Tsunade happily and responded.

This step is finally accomplished.

Then many subsequent plans can be officially launched and get on track.

"Very good! From today on, you are my disciple!"

"Starting tomorrow, you will come to see me at the Ninja Hospital every morning and I will teach you medical ninjutsu. Any questions?"

Tsunade nodded in satisfaction and made the arrangements.

"Well...."

Haruto heard this and said hesitantly: "But I still have to go to school!"

"Oh?"

After hearing this, Tsunade folded her arms, looked at Haruto with a playful expression, and said teasingly: "Didn't you say that you have learned almost everything that the school can teach?"

"Aren't you planning to use the Shadow Clone Technique to go to school in your place, and even instigated a few classmates to do so?"

"You still care about this?"

"Uh hehe..."

Haruto heard this and immediately said awkwardly: "This is different! Using Shadow Clone to take my place in class is a last resort. I don't want to waste time for nothing;"

"Now is my golden period to become stronger, how can I waste time?"

"The point is that I had no legitimate reason to explain to the teacher what I did;"

"But learning medical ninjutsu with you is a serious matter. I can just explain the situation to the teacher directly, and then use Shadow Clone to go to school in my place."

"This way, we don't have to worry about Shadow Clone being exposed! Right?"

"So, teacher, you can either give me a certificate and let me give it to my head teacher;"

"Or you could come to school tomorrow and explain the situation to my teacher in person, you see..."

As he said that, Haruto looked at Tsunade eagerly.

"You are very thoughtful, kid!"

Tsunade listened and shook her head in amusement.

She had to admit that this kid was really smart and had taken all the human relationships into consideration.

"Okay!"

She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinch Haruto's cute cheek again and said, "I'll go to the school tomorrow and explain the situation to your teacher in person!"

"Thank you, teacher!"

When Haruto heard this, he was overjoyed and thanked her.

Now, he doesn't have to worry about the teacher finding out about Shadow Clone, hehe.

"You're welcome, it's my honor!"

Tsunade waved her hand nonchalantly, then beckoned, "Alright! Let's go! Take me to your house. I still need to talk to your parents about becoming your teacher."

This matter must be reported to Haruto's parents.

If Haruto's parents don't agree, then this matter will be a bit troublesome.

However, Tsunade estimated that this was impossible.

This matter is beneficial to both Haruto and Uchiha, so there is no reason for them to disagree.

As for, should we be careful about Haruto being brainwashed because of this?

Sorry, Tsunade won't do that, nor will she allow the Third Hokage to do that.

If the Third Hokage wanted to control and brainwash Haruto in this way, Tsunade could only say that he was overthinking it.

She wouldn't allow it.

As the old man has gained more and more power over the years, his desire for control has also grown. He cannot stand the emergence of people or things beyond his control, which is not a good thing.

Although Tsunade cannot stop it, she will never help it.

At least, she is Tsunade's disciple, and she will not allow the Third Hokage to interfere and manipulate her like a pawn.

So, from the very beginning, the Third Hokage's plan failed.

"Okay! Teacher, please follow me!"

Haruto naturally had no objection.

However, before leaving, he looked around and at the deep pit on the ground, and couldn't help asking Tsunade: "Teacher, there was such a big commotion before, why didn't any ninja come to check? Isn't this a bit strange?"

"Also, are we just going to leave this pit here and ignore it?"

"Nonsense!"

After hearing this, Tsunade glared at Haruto, then stopped immediately, made hand seals, leaned over, and slapped the ground.

"Earth Style: Land Leveling Technique!"

The next moment, the entire ground began to wriggle.

In an instant, the deep pit was filled.

Except for the soil which looked somewhat fresh, the grass and trees in the area were empty and broken, and everything seemed to have returned to the state before it was destroyed.

"Done! Let's go!"

After Tsunade finished doing all this, she stood up and clapped her hands, calling for Haruto, and continued to reply as she walked: "The reason why no one came is because I sent a Shadow Clone to inform the Anbu and the guards nearby in advance, asking them not to come over for the time being if they heard any movement here."

"Oh!"

Haruto heard it and immediately understood: "I knew it! No wonder!"

"Oh!"

Tsunade smiled and stretched out her hand to pinch Haruto's cheek, pulling it and teasing: "You think too much, you even noticed such details!"

"But this is also good. Ninja, it is better to be careful. This way you are less likely to make mistakes and your ability to save your life will be better;"

"Also, if you want to be an excellent medical ninja, you also need to be careful enough. Keep it up!"

Haruto wordlessly slapped Tsunade's mischievous hand away and moved more than a meter to the side.

While rubbing his red cheeks with his hands, he glanced at Tsunade with a resentful look and complained: "Tsunade-sensei, can you stop pinching my face all the time? It hurts, okay?"

He knew he looked a little cute, but that was no reason for her to mess around.

"Yo, yo, yo! Look at your little eyes!"

Tsunade listened, and immediately chuckled, and made a joke, but when she saw Haruto's look became even more resentful, she stopped;

Then she asked jokingly, "By the way! From now on, you will go with me to learn medical ninjutsu every day, and Shadow Clone will have to go to school. Are you sure you can handle it?"

"Also, you seem to have promised your classmates that you would use Shadow Clone to skip classes and practice on your own, right?"

"How will you deal with it then? Teacher, I'm very curious. Tsk tsk tsk!"

Haruto: "…"

"Teacher, is it really okay for you to gloat over other people's misfortunes like this?"

Haruto was speechless.

This woman is really a show-off!

"What's wrong with that?"

Tsunade spread her hands cheerfully and said, "Isn't what I said the truth?"

"Yes!"

Haruto looked at Tsunade deeply and said speechlessly: "However, it's just to split off one more Shadow Clone. With my Chakra and mental strength, I can still hold on;"

"So, this is not a problem at all! I'm sorry to disappoint you, teacher!"

Granted, his current Chakra amount was only at the level of an ordinary Chūnin, but his mental strength was strong enough to withstand the information shock and fatigue of multiple Shadow Clones!

The control over Chakra is also extremely high. Even if Shadow Clone Chakra is a little less, it can be maintained for a longer period of time.

Not to mention, he has successfully switched to the Chakra Movement Method for more than a month, and his Chakra volume is increasing every day.

Although it was the same amount as an ordinary Chūnin, his Chakra amount had increased by at least 20% compared to a month ago.

As time goes by, his Chakra amount will only increase. It will not take many years before he no longer has to worry about Chakra matters.

"Huh?"

After hearing this, Tsunade looked at Haruto in surprise: "So confident? It seems that I underestimated you!"

"Yes, you can sense my presence from hundreds of meters away. Your mental strength is really strong!"

"Did you activate the Sharingan?"

If the Sharingan is activated, then it would be easier to explain why his mental power is stronger.
