Chapter 112: Kiba's Impulse
"What did you say?"
Tsunade's face darkened as she
looked at Kiba in front of her. At this moment, Kiba had calmed down, though
his eyes were flickering.
Seeing Tsunade's expression, Kiba
tried his best to maintain a normal demeanor. To be honest, he was a little
frightened now. The murderous aura emanating from Tsunade made him want to
retreat.
The murderous aura of ordinary Jonin can't compare
to hers! This is the murderous aura of one of the legendary Sannin, famous
throughout the ninja world! Very scary!
At the same time, he felt immense
regret. After understanding Kushina's smile, he had blurted out, "I don't
want to be your disciple, but I want to learn medical ninjutsu from you. Please
promise me that you will only teach me medical ninjutsu and not accept me as a
disciple."
Yes, he had said such a completely
illogical remark without thinking, and it was the kind of remark that would be
made by a fool who speaks without thinking.
Then, Tsunade's entire face
darkened.
Kiba now had an extremely ominous
premonition—this was misfortune coming from his mouth! He didn't know why he
blurted it out.
Generally speaking, even if he
understood Kushina's state of mind, it was impossible for him to speak so
thoughtlessly. Let alone say such words that obviously shouldn't be said.
As a Sannin, how many people
dreamed of being accepted as Tsunade's disciple? But how could he say he didn't
want to be accepted? He only wanted to learn medical ninjutsu. Kiba himself
felt a little ashamed when he said this.
In fact, Tsunade's anger level due
to this sentence was quite high, and her thoughts were similar to what Kiba
feared.
Don't want to be my disciple? But still want to
learn medical ninjutsu from me? Although this brat is so gifted and nearly
perfect, he is too contemptuous of people!
Kiba looked at the furious
Tsunade, glanced slightly out of the corner of his eye, and saw that her fists
were still clenched. His thoughtless words had obviously put him in a dilemma.
What's worse, his mind was
entangled in "Why did I say such words thoughtlessly?" and he wasn't
thinking much about what to say now to calm Tsunade.
When Kiba finally understood the
emotion behind Kushina's smile, a series of thoughts rolled through his mind.
Yes, swept through.
At that moment, he remembered
Kushina's story from the original series. She came to Konoha to become the
Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails. In a strange environment, she was bullied by boys
and longed for acceptance in the village.
Then, another thought swept over
him.
It turned out to be like this. Kushina, as the
Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, wasn't allowed to go out when encountering
anything. It was impossible for her to perform missions. She didn't let us
carry out missions because she knew that D-rank missions could be done, but as
long as it was an out-of-village mission, she couldn't accompany or protect us.
And we had to go out eventually.
That's why she kept training us and let us take the
Chunin exam. She trained us to have the ability to protect ourselves. She
wanted to protect us but couldn't. The Chunin exam was a test of our strength.
Telling us to win was to let powerful ninjas see our talents, to make Sannin
like Jiraiya interested, to teach us ninjutsu, to give us better guidance and
training, to make us stronger, and able to protect ourselves.
Perhaps, since she became our sensei, she planned it
all. She knew she couldn't protect us like other Jonin senseis, so she chose to
protect us in her way. She chose the best way she could to protect us.
Is this Kushina? Is this Uzumaki Kushina?
At that moment, in Kiba's heart,
the loving mother from the original series, who deeply loved her son Naruto,
slowly faded. His impression of Kushina was now a sensei who cared deeply for
them.
Simultaneously, at that moment, a
feeling he had never experienced surged in his chest, as if all the blood
rushed to his brain. A series of thoughts merged into one.
Only Kushina is my sensei!
Then, those two sentences blurted
out.
Next, he regretted it.
But he didn't understand and cared
more about another thing than regretting it.
Kiba didn't understand the
unprecedented feeling, the feeling of blood surging—why he had this feeling.
Although it put him in a dilemma, Kiba didn't hate it.
He didn't hate this feeling of
losing his mind, this feeling he had never had.
In fact, years of loneliness had
made him rarely lose his mind. His thinking remained clear under any
circumstance. He always considered things before and after.
However, at that moment, he gave
up thinking and said those two sentences.
Why? What to do? Why? What to do?
In fact, Kiba's real thoughts at
this time were the interweaving of these two thoughts.
Tsunade frowned slightly. She
looked at Kiba and saw that although his face was calm, his flickering eyes
were not looking at her. Tsunade, who was angry and uncomfortable because of
Kiba's words, had already clenched her fists tightly.
Wait, Tsunade, this kid's mind is different from
ordinary people. He might have a reason for this.
Tsunade suppressed her anger, took
a slight breath, tried her best to contain her anger and murderous aura, and
said in a barely calm tone, "Kiba, tell me, do you have any ulterior
plans?"
An ulterior plan? I don't have any ulterior plans. I
just think that my sensei is only Kushina...
Originally thinking, "What should I
do?" Kiba was suddenly brought back to reality by
Tsunade's narrowed eyes as she punched him: "Say, what plan!"
The punch came suddenly, and
Tsunade's stern voice poured into his ears. The defenseless Kiba closed his
eyes subconsciously, and his heart skipped a beat. This punch, I can't dodge
it! I will definitely die!
In his anxiety, he confessed
reflexively: "I don't have any plans, but I think my sensei is only
Kushina!"
Oops! This was Tsunade's intention. This punch was
to make me unable to react, so in an extremely urgent situation, I would speak
my mind!
After Kiba finished speaking, the
wind from Tsunade's fist brushed his face.
Clearly, Tsunade didn't want to
kill him but set him up to speak.
"Pfft!" Then, Kiba heard a burst of laughter.
Kiba opened his eyes slightly and
saw Tsunade covering her stomach with her hands, laughing happily. Tsunade's
laughter was full of joy.
It turns out that he is still a child after all. My
sensei is only Kushina. Haha, this kid is very attached to Kushina.
But this is how he should think at his age.
Tsunade understood in her heart,
and her gaze toward Kiba softened.
This kid has a personality that values love and
righteousness. What he said could only be said with enthusiasm. Is it because
he feels that he is betraying Kushina by worshipping someone else as his
sensei?
Tsunade thought so.
A genius with a foolishly loyal heart!
This was the definition Tsunade
gave Kiba.
However, Kiba's words made her
more satisfied with him. He couldn't have imagined that his impulsive words
without thinking had elevated Tsunade's evaluation of him significantly.
At this time, he was a little
stunned. Tsunade's sudden laughter and her happiness puzzled him.
Uh... Is there anything funny about my words?
This was Kiba's thought at this
time.
Tsunade looked at him seriously,
then suddenly reached out and touched his head, smiling. "Okay! I promise
you, I will teach you medical ninjutsu, but I will not accept you as a
disciple."
Hearing this, Kiba was taken
aback.
What? She actually agreed? Uh... Can she agree to
this?
Kiba blinked, feeling a bit dazed.
However, things were set.
Tsunade, one of the Sannin, would
teach him medical ninjutsu but would not be his sensei!
