Naruto: The legend of Kiba

Chapter 109: Please

Sighing, Kiba planned to leave, go

to the village to buy some supplies, and then return to make up for his daily

training.

At this moment, he suddenly heard

voices coming from his right side, as if someone was talking.

Kiba was taken aback for a moment,

then turned his head to look around. He was currently on a small road between

the gathering place and the village. About ten minutes further ahead was the

village.

There were woods on both sides,

and the sound came from the other end of the woods.

Strange, this place is usually deserted. Why would

there be people? Let's take a look.

Kiba's curiosity was piqued, and

he jumped into the woods softly.

Walking cautiously, he quickly

stopped and hid behind a thick branch and leaves, peeking forward.

In front of him was an open space

where four people were standing and talking.

Kiba took a closer look and

recognized Jiraiya, Tsunade, Orochimaru, and another person with beautiful red

hair—his teacher, Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina and the Sannin...

Kiba was slightly puzzled.

While Kiba was pondering,

Orochimaru said, "Since there's nothing more for me to do here, I'll take

my leave."

Although there was no expression

on Orochimaru's face, Kiba could vaguely sense disappointment and helplessness

from him.

What happened? Orochimaru doesn't look very happy.

After Orochimaru finished

speaking, he exploded into a cloud of white mist and disappeared from the open

space, leaving only Jiraiya and Tsunade with Kushina.

After Orochimaru left, Jiraiya

looked at Kushina and said, "May I be Hirohiko's training partner?"

Pointing at himself as he spoke.

"Yes, Jiraiya sama,"

Kushina nodded, though a bit of anxiety flickered in her eyes.

"This..." Jiraiya

frowned slightly, looking embarrassed. "You still have a lot to teach.

Kiba wants to learn medical ninjutsu, so it's reasonable to ask Tsunade. But

for Hirohiko, you can be his training opponent, right?"

Jiraiya looked at the lover of his

favorite disciple, who had grown up before him, full of doubts.

He was very clear about Kushina's

strength. If Hirohiko needed an opponent, Kushina could easily fulfill that

role, and he would improve quickly. There was no need to ask Jiraiya himself.

"Jiraiya sama, you're right.

I can indeed be his training opponent, training his ninjutsu and taijutsu.

However, I lack experience in real life-and-death combat. In ninjutsu and

taijutsu usage, I'm more accustomed to practice scenarios. If Hirohiko encounters

a real fight, this kind of training might do him more harm than good.

Therefore, I beg you, during these days, become Hirohiko's training

opponent!" A strand of long red hair fell from her ear as Kushina Uzumaki

bowed deeply, begging Jiraiya.

At that moment, Jiraiya was

shocked, and even Tsunade beside him changed her expression. Kiba, who was

hidden nearby, almost fell from the tree.

That fearless Kushina, who dared to steal things

from the Third Hokage... She actually bowed her head and begged someone else

for Hirohiko?

Not only Kiba, but even Jiraiya

and Tsunade were shocked.

They had watched Kushina grow up,

belonging to the same generation as Minato. They knew her character

well—strong, kind, and stubborn. But the Kushina they knew would never beg

anyone so humbly, not even Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, or the Third Hokage.

Seeing Kushina's appearance,

Tsunade looked at Jiraiya with a forced smile: "Zi, come on, also..."

Her tone was firm.

It was obvious that even if he

didn't agree, Tsunade would make him with her fists.

The Senju Clan and the Uzumaki

Clan were distant relatives with a close relationship. The Uzumaki Clan's

symbol even appeared on Konoha's ninja uniforms. Now, Tsunade was the only

member left of the Senju Clan, and the Uzumaki Clan had been wiped out. The few

surviving members were scattered, and the only one they could find was Kushina.

Tsunade's grandmother was also from the Uzumaki Clan, making Kushina feel like

her only remaining relative. Naturally, Tsunade was very close and caring

toward Kushina. Seeing her bowing and begging Jiraiya, Tsunade couldn't stand

by.

Jiraiya seemed to be in a daze and

didn't hear her at first, but he quickly reacted. Tsunade's body was already

exuding a faint murderous aura.

When the murderous aura emanated,

Jiraiya's head cleared immediately. He knew Tsunade wouldn't kill him, but if

he didn't react, he'd probably end up in Konoha Hospital.

He was only shocked by Kushina's

actions. He didn't disapprove in his heart. He liked Hirohiko and wanted to

help, even if he didn't become his master.

"Kushina, raise your head

quickly. I promise you, what are you doing? I'll train Hirohiko tomorrow,"

Jiraiya hurriedly said.

Hearing Jiraiya agree, Kushina

raised her head with a smile on her face and a bit of girlish naughtiness.

Jiraiya's mouth twitched. He

suddenly felt as if he had been tricked by Kushina. Then he shook his head

helplessly.

Minato marrying a wife like Kushina... is it

happiness or misfortune...

"Tsunade sama, then Kiba is

begging you too," Kushina said to Tsunade, but her tone was intimate,

unlike her tone with Jiraiya.

Tsunade looked at Kushina with a

warm smile and said, "Don't worry."

"Then, Hirohiko will ask Mr.

Jiraiya," Kushina grinned and said.

Jiraiya shook his head helplessly,

convinced he had been tricked by this girl.

Mistake, ever since she was rescued by Minato, she

has become cheerful and mischievous.

And it seems I'm always the one being tricked.

Jiraiya smiled wryly.

And the corner of Kiba's mouth,

hidden on the branch, also twitched.

At that moment, I was truly moved... It turns out

this was all calculated. She deliberately lowered her posture to ask for

help...

Thinking about it, Kiba let out a

breath.

I was also deceived... Kushina, you're so scary...

"Tomorrow morning at eight

o'clock, right? I know, Tsunade and I will come over," Jiraiya said, and

then, with a seal, his whole body exploded into white mist and disappeared.

"Then, goodbye,

Kushina," Tsunade also made a seal with a smile, and it exploded into a

white mist and disappeared.

Kushina smiled and watched the

white mist disappear, and the smile on her face slightly faded.

She gazed at the spot where

Jiraiya and Tsunade left, looking a bit lost.

After a while, she let out a

breath.

Giving Hirohiko to Jiraiya-sensei, Yukina to Minato,

Kiba to Tsunade-sama—they will become stronger, and I can rest assured.

But... why...

Kushina lowered her head slightly,

then took a deep breath, showed a smile, stretched her waist, and left the open

space.

Kiba, who was on a branch several

trees away, frowned slightly.

It turns out we're being handed over to more

powerful ninjas for training... But, I always feel that something is off with

Kushina...
